I'm ready to live on my own!!!

Hi, My name is Angie and I'm new to this thing...not epilepsy, that is. I had my first seizure when I was 12 years old (I'm now 26) and have been having erratic grand mals ever since. It's never been found out on why I have them, it just is. I've been really good in coping with them, but I do have that after seizure meltdown everytime! My question is along the lines of living independently. I always found having E. to be an ironic challenge in my life because since at an early age I've always had a free and independent spirit. I love to travel, I love my alone time, and I love to do things on my own. Every since I turned that "legal" age of 18, I've been ready to head out into the world. That hasn't happended not only b/c of my seizures, but also b/c of school and finances. I've been living at home all my life, and though I'm ever so grateful and thankful for my family's support and love throughout my life, well, that independent spirit with me is just ready to move on. But I am so worried to do it! I didn't say scared, b/c it's not really that much on the fear front. My last seizure was about two weeks ago, and it was the first one I've ever had that I was prepared for. I felt it coming and immediately went into a "prep" mode. Before this seizure came, I had so many plans and have been preparing for my future. I'll be graduating from college in December and planned to move near some great friends who live outside of Jackson, MS. I live just outside New Orleans, LA. But like I said, I'm so worried to do this. I don't have anyone in my life, and I'll be moving away from most of my friends adn family. I want to do it, but I'm so worried that it may not be the best choice. I'm sure y'all all heard the news on the whole hurricane fiasco in New Orleans, and it's one of the reasons I want to head out. Things aren't the same here, work and safety wise. I sooo want to move on/out and experience more of the world. I'm looking for help, suggestions, and anything that can make this worry go away. How can I do this and still be safe? I've been incredibly lucky throughout my life in haveing seizures at home and/or always around freinds and family. Meds have been controlling them (I LOVE lamictal; best stuff I've been on!) and I'm now in the "breakthrough seizures" category. But I could have one and maybe I won't be so lucky one day. Any help?
