Hi my name is Kimberly im 18 as well, though i have had epilepsy since I was about six years old. It can be a surprising and scary thing for everyone I actually am still scared of it. I know the feeling of discomfort and being alone it's a very difficult thing to deal with. But if you would like someone to talk to I'm always up for it and open to it!
