That’s how I live too. I offer to help friends with stuff to give me something to do and it also gets me out of the house and socialize

Check with local churches. Even if you don't worship in a particular church it's a community to connect with and whatever options you participate in you will connect with people!
Another possibility is at your community center where many activities and community service projects are planned.
Good wishes to you Marla!

Living in a city can give you easier access to health access. Also, you may be closer to an Epilepsy Foundation in that city.

I understand the difficulty of limited transportation options in a rural area. Here are some suggestions to stay busy and connected from home: Join online communities like MyEpilepsyTeam to connect with others going through similar challenges. Share your experiences, ask questions, and support each other. Look into accessibility features on your devices to optimize web browsing and app usage if you have vision, hearing, or mobility limitations. Stay active with exercise you can do at home, even short routines, to benefit your physical and mental health. Maintain social connections online if you can't easily leave home. Real friendships formed online can provide great support.
