Tackle a new thing.
Thu, 12/18/2014 - 23:32I have been disabled with more than one issue. Depression and epilepsy. Epilepsy brought on the depression, hard for many people to accept it and easy for them to move on a leave you behind. I have had the brain surgery and do still have seizures every couple of months. One positive is they are only while I sleep. I am alone and have still put my head through the wall and missed the stud by only two inches, but I did make it. Anyway, I am on disability for both depression and epilepsy but want to get my life back. I am volunteering now, hoping it will get me ready for part time work. While doing this I am now going to start pursuing my master's degreee online. It is only 18 months. It is a social program. I want to see if I can do it. Short term memory is not the best. If I can do it, I am looking more to help others because I sure have needed it and have not had much support. No family, no wife and no friends to speak of. What is your opinions of taking an online course with the memory problems. I would love to know if your thoughts.
