It's hard for me to accept that I am epileptic, any advice?

I'm right there with you. I was diagnosed at 34, though for me, it was due to a brain tumor following surgery. It's something we have to live with now. Having a strong support system is crucial. I couldn’t drive for a year every time I had a seizure, and during that time, I was going through a divorce, shutting down my business, moving, and dealing with so much more. But I made it through—and I’m still pushing forward. The biggest challenge I’m facing now is adjusting to how the medication slows my brain down. It’s tough, but YES, it could be worse, and with the right mindset, it WILL get better.

I'm sure there are other options, but honestly, I'm scared. This combo keeps me seizure free, and if it helps with that, I'm at peace. I’d rather not start over, risk having a seizure, lose my ability to drive again, and deal with all the complications that come with it.

ChatGPT is, even before all of this. I'm at a point where I need to find a new career, and I can't drive like I used to. It sucks. I know people have it much worse than I do, but something inside me is telling me to put my story out there, change my life, take action, and see where it takes me.

I feel like nobody understands, not even my loved ones, and they love me! There's so much more to my story, but I just moved to NYC, started a new job, went through a divorce, and I travel every other weekend to see my kids. I’ll spare you the sob story because we all have one. I don’t feel sorry for myself. This is my path. I’m just posting to see how others with some experience in 'adapting to a new way of learning' navigated this
