I've had juvenile myoclonic epliepsy since I was 12 years old. It took 4 years to be diagnosed before I was reluctantly started on medication. I have been coping well since by putting it to the back of my mind, almost pretending that it isn;t there/joking about it but recently I've been having panic attacks and it's siddenly dawned on me that this is something that isn't going to fade away and now I'm resenting it every time I take my medication. I don't want to talk to my friends/family about this even though they are all great. I don't want to burden them with the worry. I just need to know that someone has had the same sudden, random crisis that will hopefully just pass.
