Hi all I am the youngest in a large family, I am married to a wonderful husband and I love our 2 children so much but sometimes feel like I just want leave everything and everyone behind and just want to start again.

I have no friends, I work full time and suffer from epilepsy since i was 16 i am now 46 and don't know what to do I've tried holidays and that's fine while it lasts but then I have to come home.

I put on a brave and fun face but inside I'm crying.

Don't know how to explain this to my gp or my family.

I think you did a great job of explaining it right here. Your GP has heard it all. Your situation will not shock him/her. It does sound like you need medical help, so I urge you to summon up all the courage you can, make an appointment, and talk about how your feeling.

It will be the first step toward getting better. I'm sure you want that.

Best wishes to you!

I agree with the other poster see your gp to discuss how your feeling. I have just gone back onto medication I am very hard on myself for needing it but my gp said would an asthmatic blame themselves for needing meds. Its just something we need and it happens

Depression and epilepsy may be linked, and there have been times in my life where I have also suffered spells. Recently I have started meditation every morning which has helped feelings of depression. I try and do a little every morning and it does seem to have a positive effect. I would recommend anyone try it.
