hello everyone, my names nancy and im 17 years old. for 7 years now ive been struggling with epilepsy. I've had 3 grand mal seizures and countless absence seizures. Thankfully this has all been under control for the last 4 years. My last seizure was in febuary 2007! im on a lot of medecine keppra, zorrotin, vitamins, and more. when i found out i had epilepsy i diddnt realise what it was, i was ten years old! i took my medecine but diddnt care if i skipped a day. which has changed dramatically. when i entered highschool i became a horrible teenager, i diddnt care about anything and all i wanted to do was party. luckily i diddnt over do it and hurt myself mixing alcohol with my medecine. i soon realised how immiture i was and i turned my life around, the last 2 years ive been passing all classes, no partys drinking or drugs, and for some reason in this last year i have been getting anxiety. now let me start off by saying im actually happy with my life for the first time in a while. me ex was a mental and physical abuser and also had no respect. now i am with a man who is loving and cares and wants nothing but the best for me. i never had anxiety with my ex, but when i get these panic attacks..severe panic attacks.. i feel like im about to have a seizure. i feel like im going to die. im scared and i cry, i have boxed myself in for the last few months wanting this to go away. i need to know others know how i feel and that im not alone..
ive yet to meet another person with epilepsy, i need to hear others stories as well as my own. :e:
