Does being a teenager @ heart count?!
My teens have long deserted me - however, armed with a long memory of events/experiences of my E kicking in, plus a mentality verging from stupidly to downright lunacy, maybe you might let me join ?!!
At least I promise you a laugh - & perhaps one or two sensible words of wisdom thrown in for good measure!
Be warned, 'though that, hailing from God's Own Country & as 17 March approaches (St Podraigh's Day) draws nigh, my brain & body disavow any responsibility for the actions of my fingers !!
Hope everyone is well.

Hey:)
I am 21... and been dealing with this my entire life..
I am still waiting on the whole license thing...which dose suck.. I am in college right now and my med's slow me down as well. I agree this site is great and there are so many people with the same issue's as us. But hey...life is short so I just remind myself to enjoy the little things...stay strong=]

I found that my E was a great "leveller"!
ie; We are all together, for one another, here, and we should be taking no prisoners!
My attitude to life changed dramatically. Having a brain injury spawn from my E, I got quite cynical & sceptical & I have no time @ all for the jobsworths who administer benefits, etc.
My E nearly "killed" me twice, so what have I got to lose - & yes, it does reveal your true friends!
