Getting back to driving

Sat, 12/01/2018 - 18:51
I just past the 6 month mark seizure free and have just started driving again. I was very excited to get back on the road, but night time driving with all the lights has been really scary for me. I had a bit of a breakdown tonight because I keep thinking “what if I have a seizure when driving?” Paranoia took over and I just can’t wait to feel normal again. Any advice about driving with epilepsy and avoiding the paranoia would be fantastic!
