I’m 17 years old. Two years ago I had a seizure my 10th grade year, it still haunts me everyday.
I’m in 12th grade now and I’m having trouble moving on from that seizure. My mom and dad tell me I need to drive, my sister’s tell me I need to drive, my brother says I need to drive, my boyfriend and his family say I need to drive, but I’m terrified of it. I know that I need to drive but I don’t know how to get over this fear of driving.
I’m so scared that if I start driving I’ll be driving one day and I’ll have a seizure in the car and I’ll hurt or even kill someone else, someone innocent.
Then if I survive that it would be on my mind, haunting me everyday. I also think that I can’t be loved by anyone just because of that tumor. I’m stuck and I don’t know what to do
