Partial epileptic and grand mal seizures for 4 years

Tue, 03/01/2016 - 14:55
I had my left temporal lobe removed due to horrible reasons. At 10 years old I was told I had brain cancer. Turns out I never did and the radiation killed part of my left temporal lobe and it had been spreading ever since. Therefor I had the complete left temper lobe removed. Since March 2010 everything's taken a big change. The surgery has left me feeling depressed and I've never felt depressed. I've always been the happy go lucky guy of the group. Now Im always the down guy, angry or kinda upset at my kids, never want to really work much, just kinda useless. This isn't me and I feel like nobody understands me when we're talking. I could really use someone to relate or at least try to. I can't seem to find anyone..I can't find help.
