I have found my self leaving hear and going to other sites helping and talking to those that think that they need to take their own life because of the seizures making them losing their liquid or control in school and then I tell my story of how I lived and maid out and it reminds that person that someone who cares of them will be sitting at their non-beating heart the same way they would about someone who they care about and it changes their mind about life.

Sounds like you have a knack

Sounds like you have a knack for encouraging others who are severely depressed.  That's not easy to do.  What does this have to do with the Epilepsy Foundation's quality?   

Do thos other sites have

Do thos other sites have forums, a 24/7 help line anybody can call and the other things that most people want. Can they research their epilepsy on them?Oh and what age are the people you have talked to?? Are they wanting immediate control of their seizures and if they don't they are upset with their diagnosis and ticked off at the neurologists. Or have thy taken their meds wrong or not taken them at all because they researched the meds and read all the different side effect? Are any of them really upset because they lost their drivers license without thinking about why? Do you even know why a persons drivers license is revoked?

It's great that there are plenty of places for people to give and get support.  Consider the Epilepsy Foundation for your other needs and help in research, education, advocacy, awareness and more.
