Are You Guys Scared To Drive

I'm scared to drive because the sunlight and flashes trigger my seizures sometimes and If i got in a car crash i would feel Like it was my fault because I got on the road knowing that I had seizures.

I’m not afraid of driving . I’m not legal licensed to drive. I’ve move my family vehicle around the yard when or if I was doing yard work.

I’ve also driven 3 & 4 wheeler a few time .
I’ve driven Go - Cart many times
Driven bumper cars and bumper boats and regular boats .
If you count riding Lawnmowers, I’ve driven those too.

Yes I've been wondering because before the vns an of course vimpat and keppra i was seeing them all the time I've been doing well but I've been dealing with a lot of stress and feel like some of my roommates have been kinda messing with me I'm sure but I think it's exaggerated by the meds which I've been pretty stable but I am on meds for depression too so? They are here for mental illnesses rather than dissibilitys do to to well otherwise different reasons

Actually, now that you mention it, I didn't like the thought of driving for a long time but once I got my licence and was driving for a while the fear went away. There are some things I still don't like thought of doing when it comes to driving but I'm a lot better these days. Once its done, it's done, and the fear is basically gone.
