How Do You Not Feel Bad For Making Friends Leave Events Early?
I can’t drive with my epilepsy so I rely on my friends. When I feel disassociation and absence seizures coming on, I tell my friends that I would feel better if we leave.

Why do you feel like you need to leave if you feel a seizure? You’re friends are right there to handle things. I’ve had seizures since I was a kid.

So as long as you feel OK after the seizure you should stay and have fun.
