dont feel my age
Mon, 07/20/2015 - 08:48Hello everyone
I am 17 and i have recently been feling useless because i am not able to do anything on my own because of my epilepsy, i had an operation earlier this year but since the operation i have only have 3 seizures (last seizure was about march/april) but my parents dont want me to go anywhere on my own so i am stuck in the house and always heve someone wiith me if i go out. This makes me feel like i cant do anything and i have no independence. i have tried to speak to my parents but they still wont let me.
