Undergoing a seizure may stop you from being able to perform certain tasks because of the risk of a convulsion which could put that person suffering from the attack in a dangerous position.

It may cause to be unable to handle certain responsibilities and can even prevent you from participating in some social functions.

The psychological after effect of seizures can make an individual with epilepsy feel they will be restricted from accomplishing the goals they strive for in life -- even small goals like driving a car, diving off a diving board, swimming by yourself or even being able to baby-sit a friend's child.

Some people may feel that these goals are not that important, but the people who have the disorder know that they are very important.One goal that I had was to drive a car. I was able to drive for a couple of years.

Once I began to start frequently having seizures my neurologist asked me to stop driving. I used to get very frustrated not being able to drive a car. I am the type of person who likes to depend on myself and not have to rely on others to help me take care of my responsibilities.

 I felt frustrated and embarrassed to ask other people to drive me to my destinations. It did not matter that they were my family and friends. I felt people were feeling sorry for me and felt some type of obligation to have to drive me to the places I needed to go.

I became depressed for a while and I began feeling sorry for myself, until I stopped and said, "enough is enough."Surprisingly, I was not the only person who was feeling this way.

While researching this book, I found that so many people that have this disorder feel so alone. Many people who have written to me have given up their goals and expectations in life. Their attitude about life is very negative. Many people have given up because they feel they have too many limitations and restraints. Countless individuals who suffer from epilepsy think that they can never accomplish their goals and dreams in life, but I am here to tell you that this is not true .The trick is to learn how to deal with the hopelessness that your experiencing.

I strongly believe the first step is to fully accept that you are epileptic. I taught myself to accept that fact and I have learned how to live with the disorder in the most positive way possible. In this book, I talk about how I taught myself to accept me for who I am.

Another important factor is to understand that you are not battling this disorder by yourself. You need to realize that other individuals can relate to you and can empathize with the pain that you are feeling. We all need to be reassured at one point that there are people who understand where we are coming from.

 These people are willing to reach out and give you their support. You need to recognize that these people are not going to give you their help unless you ask for it.It is important that you learn how to live with epilepsy and endure it. Otherwise, you could end up destroying yourself your relationships with people, your friendships, and your family in the end.

 Everything you do and say affects the people around you.Eventually if we do not learn how to deal with all these issues, we could end up really destroying ourselves emotionally, physically and spiritually. This does not have to happen if you do not let it.

 One way to prevent this from happening is to develop a lifestyle that is suitable for your own needs. You need to make sure that it is a lifestyle that is going to make you happy over time. You need to be your own designer, creating pathways to a fulfilling future. There is a whole world in front of you. This world has millions of opportunities just waiting for you to encounter. It does not matter what age you are. You can achieve anything you put your mind too.

 For instance, I graduated college with a degree in business and marketing. I have worked in computers and sales for the past three and a half years. I wrote this book and several newspaper articles on the topic of epilepsy. I am happily married with my first baby on the way. My seizures have been well controlled through medicine, exercise and healthy eating habits.
