I guess a little about me I'm 33 almost 34 female and I live in Ontario, Canada. I can say with a great degree of certainty I don't remember much of anything before the year I turned nine so in a way maybe I can say in lot of ways that when I felt I really was awake to the World for the first time. I mean that year I guess I was starting to have more Tonic-Clonic Seizures and after a seizure that summer of 1982 I was diagnosed. And through test much of the reason of why I was being held back already in Kindergarten and Grade 1 was made sense to everyone the test of the EEG revealed that before the larger seizres started happening that on a daily bases I was likely having as many Absence seizures as 20 to 30 a day. So short story I was diagnosed with Epilepsy and I was put on Depakene and except for a six month period of time when my Neurologist at the time took me off the medication in 1986 to see if I'd out grown it as you can probably guess by me being here that didn't happen for long six months later a relapsed and returned to taking the medication and I've been on it ever since. I think my problems has not been Epilepsy so much in itself it been my fears of social rejection and fear that if I tried something and I didn't automatically succeed it would always mean failure. So I let anxiety for awhile keep me from moving ahead but know I'm tyrying to move past my fears that if something doesn't succed that I can't be a successful full person and that it would make me be what I'd hate to be a victim. So I'm trying to not let my fear of things that might go wrong keep me from trying anymore
