I recommend finding a supportive environment (like TE), I went to a few epilepsy support groups during some of my dark days and had to stop because they were too depressing, same with the epilepsy support boards; too depressing that they were sucking life out of me rather than shedding some light on my life.
+1 for that.

For some reason, sometimes "support groups" become dominated by the people who just can't overcome, and there is nothing positive going on there. The positive people who do come can't carry the group and the weight of their own battles, so they move on. I see this on weight loss boards. Lots of people with no real commitment spend all their time talking about it instead of doing it! That can make inspiration and motivation hard to come by.

So, Katie, be careful where you get your information. If it doesn't lift you up, find something that does. You're a 'can do' kind of gal--don't let anyone tell you you can't.
