Looking for other teenagers with epilepsy in southern maryland

Fri, 04/03/2015 - 20:05

Southern Maryland is pretty rural and I have started having seizures about a year ago when starting high school.  I am looking for a support group of other teens who just understand what it is to deal with all these body changes, high school and stress.     I am 15 yr old girl who really wants to find an outlet for someone like me that is not super close to a major city.  If anyone has any suggestions for good outlets, because I used to do theraputic horse back riding but cannot due to seizures.    Does anyone have any ideas of support groups I can join that just do activities and not just email or texting  ?
