Hi,

I’m 29 years old female and I’ve been diagnosed with epilepsy since I was 3 years old. During my childhood I was simply cast out because all the normal things other kids could do – I couldn’t because the risk of me having the attack was too big. And I feel ashamed even now when I remember one epi attack I had in high school… everyone just ran away from me. Now that I’m an adult I do cope with the condition somewhat better, but doing just normal things in life when you don’t know when you’ll pass out and go into tonic/ clonic seizure is just making me isolated because I don’t want people to see me like that. I don’t have a boyfriend and I don’t know if I ever will have one :(
