Hi all.
I'm 27 from the Uk and have just been told I'm having complex partial seizures. I wasn't sure as I'm still conscious? I thought for the last 6 years I was having panic attacks. Apparently not!
I'm absolutely petrified, as I was merely told by the neurologist not to drive and they will refer me for an emergency appointment with the MRI people. I'm absolutely scared silly, I feel more a lone than i did before I knew (I've been struggling for years not understanding what was wrong with me - doctors gave me GAD and panic attack print outs and brushed me off).
This whole thing gets me so upset, because I don't know why they happen, they confuse me so much and scare me silly. I'm left feeling low afterwards, confused and drained.
Will I ever stop them from happening? I'm so upset that I may not be able to drive... I only passed my test two years ago and so it's totally thrown me.
Any advice would be extremely appreciated. I'm so scared I cant even begin, and not only that I feel so alone.
Kind Regards
