I've had it since I was a baby, I'm starting to notice depression like feelings in myself, I use essential oils, my neurologist suggested mood stabilizers.

The only thing I can think of is not letting it stop you from living your life. I'm sorry that it's been emotionally hard on you. It will get better 😊

how can I not let it stop me when I constantly feel overwhelmed and worried if I’m going to get a seizure what are people going to think. Some days it’s tooo much to handle you know . ♥️

I completely understand that feeling. I was diagnosed at age 4, so I think I'm seeing things from a different perspective. People are judgemental, unfortunately, and people will make assumptions. I'm always here if you'd like to talk more ^^
