From being diagnosed with Depression to Bipolar to Epilepsy

Had first seizure when 11 and lost 5 out of 6 friends that very day. Life changing to say the least.

I have never known controlled seizures, I have had them controlled up to a certain point (once I got to where I had only a few a week and only in the night) the rest of my life it has really been a roller coaster ride with the meds and the types of seizures I have.
