Things have been interesting lately. I'm for the most part stable, with the occasional hiccup. My siezures are, for the most part, only during really stressful times.

My stress and anxiety have dropped tremendously. My homelife has calmed down a lot over the last few days.

I have an appointment on Monday to see a phsyciatrist about my disorders, so hopefully that will show me what is really going on with me. I just hope that they will see what is wrong with me as opposed to not.

I'm happy you are mostly stable and that your seizures mainly seem confined to stressful situations. Really happy your stress and anxiety have dropped so much. How's the appointment go?

The appointment went well. I've been officially diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, and he recommended disability benefits. He even gave me a card for an advocate.

My sister said that she'll help me out and become my power of attorney.

I'm glad the appointment went well and that your doctor gave you a push towards finding an advocate - that can make things a lot easier.

Awesome that your sister is so supportive.

My sister is going to be my power of attorney, and I called the lawyer yesterday and left a voicemail for him. Just playing the waiting game right now.
