I feel both depending on the day.. But mostly feel it could always be worse but I also feel like its ok to have days where I get stuck in a dark hole... but I always come back to light! My grown children and husband give me strength because I feel accountable to them and learning that I’m valuable eventhough I have an illness that keeps me more dependent on others but sooo grateful for the good in my life.

I have a good quality of my life. I control what I decide. I’m independent and can do many things the average person can do. I have great support from family and friends. I have my own wife and Kids. I love to help others understand Epilepsy whether it be to a stranger, friends, families, and everyone on this site.

My life is worth it . Im always learning Epilepsy tidbits of info myself . I control my life not Epilepsy.

I don’t have the quality of life that I’d like and that I feel like other people have. I take my good days and enjoy them and thank God for them. I remember to remind myself that there are others who are much worse off than I. I hope this helps 😊.

MarinaDevries: Don't talk like that. Everything is temporary. When things are good, enjoy them because it's temporary and when things are crappy (which we all know a lot about) know that it will pass. You have friends here so we want you to stay!

I'm sorry Marina!! Please talk to your Dr. Maybe your meds could be changed to help you feel better?
