This is my situation: I have petit sezures

I can contiue recieving temporialy disability and get a monthly income of $1000. I pay for my own health insurence which is $500. After all the monthly bills I'll be left with about $300-400 to use for the rest of the month. I'm not allowed to drive and use public transportation. I'm 24 and a full time student, thats 4 classes. At this time I'm living with my family. They refuse to understand that at this moment in time I need the help from people the most. I take care of things on my own, carrying on my own. All my life I've been demanded to adjust to their circumstances and to become emotional and physiallly draining. This is the point of my life that I have to put myself first and I can no longer hope they will help me out and to also continue the way they demand from me. They do not openly help me with transportation and to be emotionally considerate that I'm going through a very tough time with my recently diagnoised seizures. Yes they have been emotionally and physically abusive.

What I'm leaning toward to dowing right now is:

I want to go back to work so that I can bring in my own weekly income and my work will provide me with health insurence. With the money that I'll be earning I would use that money to move out and rent a room. I've heard all the reasons from my relatives and friends that I need to live at home so that I can get the help from my family. I say "what help from them, I'm at the lowest point in my life, having to adjust to my health circumstanes, as my family walk away after kicking me." They've already told me that its just better for me to leave. That already shows how much they really consider my health complications.

I am sorry that your family is not being as supportive as you need to be for you right now.... If I may ask? - are you with your parents / siblings or other family members?

I assume that you are taking medication that are helping to control the seizure? - if so, is the medication able to control the seizures to the point that you could work with little or no interference from the seizures? There are many people that suffer from seizures that go to school full time and even hold down full time jobs.... and so can YOU!

I will be keeping you in my thoughts and I hope that all works out for you... Good Luck.
