I have been there. However I was faced with something worse (was set up to be raped by girls I thought were friends at age 14 or 15, was raped), I was a zombie at first but I read a book (I know why the cadged bird sings), I realized that what i was doing to myself was worse than anthing, I had been victimized, but then I chose to be a victim, when I realized that I was in control, it gave me feeling of power. It was not easy, but I refused to let those people who victimized me win, nor did I let epilepsy win, I am now a survior, I know now that nothing can stop meI do still have seizures sometimes, I have lsot scary people, but I'm here, have 2 degrees and working on the third, I will never stop, as I have discoved a gift (to be a counselor) I find fulfillment in empowring people, as I learned to empower myself, don't count yourself out yet, you may be stronger than you know. Take it from someone who attempted to end her life and found purpose when it went wrong.
