Hi,

I am not a teen myself. But, saw your post. You are not alone. Only those who have e can understand the loss of confidence and the need for more information and understanding that we face.

Sometimes, its ok, sometimes its hard. The only thing we can do is take one day at a time. I am in the same situation and so are many others.

Come back to this site anytime u feel low, i discovered it sometime back only. And it has been a great help  2 me. There are some really great people out here.

Best of luck!

I know how you feel completely.  Everytime I had a seizer, I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. I even had a seizer on my birthday! It took me a few months to get completely recovered over it. I still can't completely drive or go out as much but I try to. If you want to talk back and forth about it feel free to email me about it.
