I'm definitely more of a hermit these days since the seizures have returned after nearly 26 years without them. I thought I was free and clear but I always knew it could come back at any time.
I recently realized how little I leave the house when I came back from a walk to the shops and startled the cat so badly he puffed up his tail, arched his back, and had a wild look in his eyes like "I thought you were sleeping upstairs!"
I guess my social life is hanging out with family outside cuz I really don't drive I mean I if we go anywhere my dad
I really don't have a social life. At least when it comes to having a girlfriend. As for getting out to do things, forget that noise..... especially if you don't drive.
The only time I really have any contact with people is when I go to church. I know this sounds sad, but I am use to it and I have enough things around the place that keeps my attention going. Sometimes is a real blessing.
Most people would probably go nuts. I however have an inner strength that doesn't quit. I don't allow things to get to me. That's because I have accepted the path that was given to me.

I try not to let it affect my “social life “ but it usually ruins any plans I may have made
Every once in awhile it’s something I Really wanted to do.
