Great to hear you're done with school. Conragtulations!! Hope things go well with your neuro. I will be keeping you in my thoughts. I'm proud of you for sticking with things when they got so tough and getting your degree. Now you know you there's nothing you can't do.

Hey everyone,Chrissy
I know what you mean about feeling lost. I've known people through people that have had seizures (you know, where a friend tells you their brother has them or something), but before this chatroom I felt pretty much alone. The stress of breaking up might very well be a trigger, but it doesn't mean you brought it on yourself, or that you are letting down your work b/c of regular life stress. I broke up with my fiance a few weeks ago. One of my best friends told me he wanted to swap my seizure meds with sugar pills, to prove to me it's all in my head, and that was kind of the last straw. 
It was a weird breakup, too, and really had me in a whirl. That, combined w/ starting the monthly (I have catamenial seizures, as well as others), made that week really rough, and in six nights, I had grand mals on five of them. I ended up having to leave work early one day, and call in another, and felt horrible! But my boss told me she understood what was going on, and to take care of myself first, and the work would still be there when I got back.
It is incredibly overwhelming, but you are by no means alone. Sometimes just knowing that makes things easier. I hope things start going better for you soon.

Much love,
Christine
P.S. The DBG's are all going back to school Monday!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear Kimmy is doing better...she can email me if she ever wants to :) Much better to have the smaller seizures with less of that knock out after effect.
I can understand your anxiety. I didn't leave my home for about 3 months after my diagnosis. Hang in there. Thank youi so much for your support this whole time, it means alot to me.
