[epilepsy] Re: Suicide

 

Mark,
Ending your life is not the answer.Your life as meaning..there are people who love you and would miss you and forever be despondent because of how your life ended. I don't have Epilepsy but my husband does and he's been battling it for 44 out of his 46 years..Now that he's had the vns surgery he is only have a few a year but there was a time when he had 7 seizures a day and had to be alone most of the time.
Is there anyone you can talk to. I know that life can be very hard and I miss my parents every day..My Dad died over a decade ago and my mother 12 years ago..and I still miss them.
Please know that we are here for you and you can talk to us about how your feeling. None of us like to depend on others to get around(since our car "died" three years ago that's all we have to do) and Joe went from walking up to ten miles a day to using two canes or a wheelchair in just a few short years(he's also had strokes and he's a young man).
We value you..email anytime..I'm usually online at least six days a week and Joe is online too if you'd like to talk to him(he's battled depression a few times over the years).
