I am 26, 3 years ago I was diagnosed with lesions on my brain. One bled into my occipital lobe. I had a major surgery to remove it and during the MRI they found another lesion on my temporal lobe. I am diagnosed as epileptic. I lost my job due to the disability but cant get benefits. I live alone and have a 2 year old daughter. I just had a full blown seizure with hallucinations in front of her a month ago.
Her dad was there, but since then I can NOT leave this house. I think to myself what if I drive somewhere and kill someone? So I dont. I won’t even go to the mall because what if I have a seizure and fall and someone takes my child. I live in a world of fear and full panic attacks ALL day long. I count the hours until I can sleep. So, as a result I started abusing alcohol because I can’t stop panicking. I dont qualify for any assistance and can only afford one medicine out of pocket. I get drunk every day. I live in fear of dying. I need help, bad. Please share your stories!
