Lord_Borgoth Hi my name is Janet and there are so many things that you don’t see. My brother Jeff was had grand mals since he had a high fever with the measles he lived everyday with bad seizures that might kill him and he had kid pick on him at school my oldest brother would get in fist fight to protect him but Jeff loved people he loved the Lord Jesus and was there for a lot of his coworkers he brought them to church so they would also get the love and support from people who care, I’m on this website talking to you because of his love of people and my love of people , my brother died 3 yrs ago but his legacy lives on. With the people he touched and helped, if you killed you self. Those people you might help might not get it plus God love you he made you and has a purpose for your even if you don’t see it now ,I’ve had seizures for 39 yrs at the end of this month so if you want to talk need help just ask

Sometimes it’s good to listen to what they were worrying about and reassuring them that everything will be ok and to hand it over to their higher power it takes some stress off and it helps the other person by listening it’s better to get the bad energy out rather than keeping it all inside otherwise we might say something in regret in anger x x

Hey man, I know how hard it is & I go through depression a lot but one of the best things that I learned to do is to give everything to my Lord and Savior Jesus! He promised to never leave or forsake us! Wants to help us carry all of theses feelings. Then never think for one minute that you are alone we are here, but there's also helplines out there with those who will just listen and talk to you.

Ive definitely felt like that throughout my 25 years of living with a brain injury! I’ve taken a bunch of assessments and had lots of therapy! But everything always comes back the same...it gives me purpose and I feel so good when I help other brain injury survivors! I love finding new things that we are learning about our brains!
I love animals too. I had a 1 year old lab/golden mix when I had my MVA. She went through it all with me! She lived a great life for 13 years.
Anyway, I found a local Service Dog Organization. They were looking for volunteer Puppy Raisers! It is the best job/therapy ever! I’ve raised 2 pups for them so far.
Can you think of something like that? Something you love and are interested in learning more about?

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member You have friends here who you do not have pay anything other your time to talk with us. Just remember that all of us have lower self-esteem from having Epilepsy/Seizure Disorders. And most of us have depression that we are constantly fighting. I personally have been in so low a level of depression and self-esteem that I considered suicide as a means of improving the life for those around me because they would not longer have to put up with a useless me.

However, that is the depression in combination with the low self-esteem and self hatred talking. I promise you that with a good therapist that you can get yourself out of this and to not only like and maybe even love yourself but also see that you have self-worth.

I have no idea if you have any family or good friends around you on the local level, but I can tell you that you ABSOLUTELY have real friends on here. More importantly, many of your friends on here have been where you are now at some time(s) of life. Until I started therapy with a good therapist who helped me get out of that very dark state of depression, I had the gift that my mom asked me to make a promise to her (and to God) that I would not kill myself and would not hold back to venting to her and/or other family members. Obviously, not enough others were born into a most amazingly supportive family as I have. However, even those who have not and who have no friends in-person, always have friends on here who you can vent to and who you cannot drive away from having your back. Never forget that we will NEVER give up on you. You have purpose and you are not defective (my sisters remind me constantly if I dare to say that). Until you find that good therapist, continue to vent to us and do not give up.
