During my teens my self esteem was down during the school years. My self esteem would go up more during summer vacations .

I had no trouble with riding the rides at the amusement parks. My seizures never got triggered from them.

I always found alternative ways to get around . Since I couldn’t drive and lived in the cities , I was able to get around on my Mt. Bike , walking , and using the city transportations . I also got around with family and friends.

I agree with you and your post and the other people's posts here, I have had some of those mentioned happen to me as well, I don't drive anymore and it's been 13 years now, I I have been on a roller coaster but that has been a long time ago and don't remember when that was, I do pay my way, rent and phone, and meds and what I have left over isn't much by today's standards, but I manage it wisely and keep a eye out for what I really need to keep myself ok with, I used to work and had a little extra money but gave up that job about 3 years ago, but I do my daily routine of prayer and bible study I believe in and do, my opinion here

During my teen my self esteem was down

yes can't be around fire works I can't drive I can't be in a elevator can't listening to loud music and can't eat certain foods and watch TV bc of flashing lights and I'm so emotional al bout it

Don't worry about not being able to drive! I had seizures in cars and nearly killed myself so many times... I had to hang it up.
