A year ago I was able to play college soccer with no problem and now my coaches are scared to put me in because I might have a seziure. And they have a right to be scared. After every game I have played in this year I have had one. But, I dont want this! I am a strong woman. Not only strong but intelligent! Last semster I had a 4.0. This semester, forget about A's, it is nearly impossible for me to concentrate in classes. Don't get me wrong, the lowest grade I'll get will probably be a B but that doesnt cut it for Graduate schools.
No one understands. My friends certainly don't understand what it is like constantly thinking when your next seziure will be. Or why I cant go out with them on the weekends.
I was suffering from depression and anxiety before but now I am drowning in it.
