Hi and been looking and reading posts all morning. Had my first seizure when I was 19 (currently 42). Have only had 5 or 6 in my life but been on medicine since I was 20. The times I've had them are identifiable - changing medicine, was sick for a week and levels went down. Last seizure occurred about 3 weeks ago when I was driving on an expressway during rush hour traffic. Hit another car going around 50 MPH. Got pretty banged up and totaled my car but luckily other person wasn't hurt at all.
I know my situation is nothing compared to the vast majority and it is pretty weak of me to even waste anyone's time. My issue is that I have three boys 11, 9, 7 who are extremely active and a great wife that I feel like I have I'm nothing but a burden. I get driven around by my wife or my in-laws and can't take by kids anywhere by myself. I'm sick of hearing that it isn't a big deal and everyone will help. I absolutely lost it this morning and scared the people I love most.
I know I'm lucky to have people to say this and they mean it but I don't want help and least of all don't want people feeling sorry for me.
Chalk this up to someone who is extremely bitter and feeling sorry for himself that needs to vent because I'm taking things out on the wrong person - my wife.
Thanks to anyone who reads and god bless everyone who affected by this crap.
