Answers but maybe not meds

[Lilly]

I going to try to get a diagnosis, but I am not necessarily seeking medication, since my symptoms are not that severe. (Absence seizures and simple partial seizures.) Also I have kind of learned to live with them. To me, they are more of an embarrassment than an impairment actually.

I mostly just want answers.

Most of my life I have been seeking to understand myself, and this would be a big help to me.

If I found out that my “mental health issues” where actually simple partial seizures it would be a huge relief to me.

And there are times where it would be a relief to tell people. Like people who tell me I need to learn to focus better. And people who tell me I have an irrational fear of driving. No, I have rational fear of driving.

The main thing is to keep an eye on the symptoms -- if they start to get worse or interfere too much with your daily life, then you might want to consider treatment (medication, or other approaches like diet or neurofeedback).

I hope the docs are able to confirm a diagnosis and give you peace of mind.
