Do You Think Your Condition We Have Stops You From Being The Person You Are? Curious

I don't think so, at first when diagnosed with I didn't know what I had, but as for me and my life I live and my lifestyle i don't see anything out of the norm I do, I do my daily routine of prayer and bible study, and my regular day to day living, I don't think it hinders me and my life, I know that I have a diagnosis epilepsy I have but does not stop from being who I am, I am ok with that and am not or complaining about the way I live, what do you think about this ❓

Never having it changed for me for time period, I was very dependent for sometime. Not that I wasn't able to do things, since had surgery that was successful for some time. So since I've got older have most of my independence back in me. I can't drive but can get transportation when needed, 1 will include my dog when needed. Sorry for those who feel dependent knowing that can be hard.

Yes, people will remember who I was and not epilespy. Hopefully, they will also remember the books I will write. LOL

Don't give up on finishing your education. See if you can finish your courses online.

Because my Epilepsy caused me to have slow learning and motor skill, I wasn’t able to go to college for archaeology. I just ended up reading and watching documentaries on the subject.
