my story - epilepsy and relationships


by: William on Tue, Jul 03 2007

Hi I am 34 years old. I have had right temporal lobe epilepsy or been diagnosed for ten years. I take depakoate er , and it helps alot .I do suffer from horrible behavior problems though and it is very hard for me socially. I have a hard time staying in relationships more than a year because of my seizure related outburst of anger and anxiety

I have the whole spectrum of seizures from grand mal to the little waking ones where you are confused and dont remember what just came out of your own mouth , im tired of apologizing to my loved ones and not having any friends , I cant quit though. hang in there thats all i can say ! I take my meds right but they take away alot of my emotions . I dont know what to do alot of the time. Thank you for letting me vent a little.
