Living Independantly

Sun, 03/24/2019 - 21:40
Hi, I am 15 years old and I have epilepsy. I am starting to want to be more independent and in the near future live on my own. Right now I only have at most 4 seizures a year. I am wondering if it's safe to live on my own with epilepsy and if it is possible what would I need to know. If anyone has stories on living with epilepsy independently I would love to hear them.
