To make new friends you might want to try looking at a epilepsy support group. I've been thinking about going to one. I have quite a few friends but none know what's it's like to have seizures. Most the time they try to forget I even have them. You can also getting togeter with some of the people you meet here. having epilepsy sucks, yeah but life moves on. My dad says "Life sucks and then you die so live with it" I guess he's kinda right
