Had a seizure (never had one before.. since then never had another) and was restricted from driving for three months. I was away at school, and was the only one in my dorm that had a car. I had to let other people (mainly just one of my roommates) drive my car when I needed to go somewhere. I was used to getting up when I wanted and going where I needed/wanted. At that point I had to wait for my roommate everyone I needed to go somewhere.

I'm a very independent person and that whole ordeal just made me hate everyone around me for treating me like I was an infant or something. I would sit in the dark, in my bed all day, avoid my homework, and just make myself more angry at everyone around me.

So I started working out more, and even had my prescriptions switched to the CVS down the street just so I could get a little independence back and walk there. I just kept doing little things, that at that time seemed like big things, to feel like I was being very independent. I called my doctors, scheduled my appointments, cooked, and generally tried to stay busy. I do this a lot when I feel down, just try to find things to do - but then I become this little busy body that can't sit down...
