Hopes to be seizure free

Hi all, my names gabi I live in Boca Raton Florida and attend FAU. I'm 23 and have been living with epilepsy since I was eight. I was originally diagnosed with complex partial seizures. I had my first seizure at the Miami zoo I wouldn't get out of the way of cars and just stared blankety into space not being able to speak and not listening to my moms voice. I snapPed out of it and we went on with the day. Afterwards I kept having these staring spells so I went to the hospital and was diagnosed. When I was young I took depakote and my seizures were under control, I was a flyer on the cheerleading team I lived a fairly normal life. Once I was around 16 I had my first grand mal seizure in my sleep in front of my terrified best friend. After that I went on basically every medicine they have on the market and I continue to have multiple staring seizures a day. These seizures feel like the world I zooming out and I become panicked because I don't want people to notice. I shake and twitch but I don't fall down. These seizures only last 5-8 seconds but they feel much longer. I have been ashamed of this disorder my whole life, I never tell anyone about my epilepsy. Even if I have a seizure I lie and say I just had a panic attack. It's hard to explain to someone what's wrong because afterwards I'm embarrassed and don't want to explain myself to a person who doesn't understand and might judge me. I have bottled in all my feelings my whole life never sharing the horror stories of having seizures in front of my class for a presentation, seizures during sex, during dates, work, roller coasters you name it Iv had a seizure there. This is probably so long because I never talk about my epilepsy. I'm now realizing as an adult woman that holding back these feelings have caused me a lot of pain and I want to talk to others and hear their stories as well. i no longer want this disorder to hold me back I want to be an active member in volunteering and talking to people about my story. i hope to maybe inspire young kids with epilepsy and adults too that they shouldn't be ashamed. I'm trying to find an i person support group to talk to other people with epilepsy. Does anyone know of something in south Florida?
