Epileptic. Feel stuck.

[kyle barnett]

Hey guys I've been following Leo since highschool. I'm now 26. I've been meditating for many years and following spiritual practices but also I consider myself someone who wants to be somewhat successful in life.

While I've had great benefits on my spiritual practice in life. I've had a lot of struggles in my productivity and what I want to do career wise in life. I also struggle to get myself to study basic self help now and continue my meditation practice because of this.

I am married and live with my wife who also has a health condition. She is quite happy on her own but we're both unemployed and can't drive however we live with her mother/my mother in law.

I wanted to work full time and drive. I hate not being able to drive. It really puts me off life in general. I feel stuck because of it. I've been chasing the ability to drive for years only to keep failing due to my epilepsy.

Is your epilepsy currently being medically treated?

Ever since I got out of highschool I worked really hard on trying to drive and get my license. I got turned down by jobs for not having a full license and legally it takes over 3 years in my country to get a full but at the same time, I got diagnosed with epile in 2021 (beforehand I had symptoms but they were considered not real seizures it's complicated.) so I was driving but if I had a full seizure I'd have to wait a year again to drive.

But I felt like If I couldn't drive I was screwed in life. 

 

I'm starting to undo that belief more and more

Yes since 2021. It's complicated but it took a long time for me to be diagnosed

You considered living in a big city? Driving there is annoying anyways. There should also be plenty of work opportunities. In which country are you?
