To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Living Life With Epilepsy Seizures I was diagnosed with epilepsy seizures when I was three years of age. I am now 16 years old and I cant get a drivers license and I cant do anything a normal 16 year old would do. Because the more stuff I wanna do is limited by my seizures I feel that my seizures are taking over my life. I been on medication ever since I was diagnosed with these seizures. My neurologist said I would out grow them in a time being after I went through a stage in early adulthood (puberty) but puberty has came and gone and I still have seizures and I feel that thier going away but now I have been more depressed and suicidal. I cant fuction in school because I lose concentration and i used to play baseball and basketball but since i’m not functioning or concentrating correctly my grades have dropped and I’m ineligible for any extra activities after school. So thats reason I feel that my siezures takes over my life. It’s very hard living with a disability like this is so depressing and hard. Thanks for reading my story! Comments
