Oh beautiful sorrows, famous breaking moments. Even when we fight to stay strong, stay positive we still manage to have repeated meltdowns. Our everyday weaknesses kicks in and takes a toll on us draining our souls. We continue living as usual, doing what we must do to survive but eventually the draining energy attacks us and beats us down feeling hopeless. Suddenly this feeling turns into a horrible fatigue causing physical discomfort at times unbearable. For now have your down moment just make sure to cleanse your spirit, fight through another moment of unbearable discomfort and move forward towards the light of truth. Oh beautiful sorrow if it was’t for you so many of us wouldn’t be warriors.

I have Epilepsy as well. Late in life diagnosis due to severe head trauma. It is being treated, but uncontrolled as of now. After my sobriety I was mountain biking 20-30 miles 5 times a week. Now I drop at any time. I have had to stop working, and am house bound. It is so hard. I am such an extrovert. My husband is. God send we got a puppy to keep me company. I miss driving, and all my outdoor fun! I miss the pride I had in working daily. I have had bouts of depression. I had an MRI done, and it shows abnormalities but not in the Eplilepsy part of my brain. They are looking into MS. I still have Epilepsy, but now this. It has been hard. Plus I have suffered from depression on and off, and now my kids coming out of a tragic divorce with two alcoholic parents, and one given to total a total perverse nature, but will not get help. They are so overwhelmed with depression, and anxiety daily. God is my only refuge. I stand at the cross knowing He has a purpose in all our trials and tribulations. Thank you for sharing your beautiful posts! God is so good!! Blessings. Lisa ❤

Beautiful Lisa I feel your frustration, your sadness and your hearts tears. Believe me I have felt the worst of everything. My life was worst and worst through the years if it wasn’t for my boys I would of given up. Instead I became my own doctor and finally I have reached happiness. After 19 years please keep in touch and anything I may do to help, share so tips on how I have helped myself I will share on this as I have posted on IG.

My favorite part; Even when we fight to stay strong, stay positive we still manage to have repeated meltdowns.
I say to my husband daily no seizure day, and I will be strong to fall into great sadness. It is my day to day now.
