Millie, I know you were making a joke when you said "itching" to drive, but it made me start crying. It IS very frustrating. I have hobbies -- some that benefit my family and others like baking bread (make that MAKING bread -- I don't just pop it into the oven ;) and, being an obsessive-compulsiv
I feel like a baby having to ask people to take me places. And (I know, you shouldn't start a sentence with a conjunction!
More and more my thoughts are turning to hurting myself. My case manager was here today and she asked me if I thought I needed to go to the hospital.
My mind is going a mile a minute now so I'll have to end this message here. Thanks so much for your concern.
Mark

Mark,
I don't recall there ever being a time when you weren't "itching" to
drive.That must be very frustrating. Have you tried starting some hobby to
keep you busy . There has got to be something else to do.
Yes, I think you need some counseling. You need someone to talk to --to
accept not being able to drive. Or at least give you some handles to work
with so you can get your thinking about something else
I think it was Terry who said you could have a sz a day or week after 6
months. That is very true. My Dr. told me that I could be without a sz for
20 years and they could start again.
Since I sold my car, I am going thru having to ask people for a ride, wait
when the shuttle or bus doesn't come for 30 -45 minutes -- and I don't like
it. I always take something with me to read while
I am waiting. So I am feeling some of what you are feeling but I know I
won't drive again.
That is just the way the ball bounces. You need to find something to do.
Do you have any hobbies?
Millie
