I'm in my Junior year of University. I am a double major and my classes are extremely hard for me. I just had my fourth Grand Mal seizure in the past year and all of them are really affecting me. I have short term memory loss, I'm an insomniac but my seizures are caused by sleep deprivation and stress. Some of my professors are more understanding than others, but all of the work I'm given has been super difficult to work with. Along with this, I am trying to become a teacher, so I need to pass a series of very difficult tests in order to get my teachers license and I must pass them before continuing on with my classes.
I don't have many friends at all on campus, where I live. I also can't drink, have very bad social anxiety, stress, and depression. My girlfriend drinks and likes going out, but this is terrifying for me because I'm scared I'm going to have a seizure at a party since I'm so stressed out and we're staying out late, especially when I have work to do and sleep to get. I also can't work at my job or work out because last seizure I had, the paramedics picked me up in a rough way and dislocated my shoulder and both my arms are still in pain. I work a labor job so I'm not getting paid.
I've been debating dropping out and staying at home with my family and friends, working at a great job I have back home, and possibly taking classes at a community college near me.
Is anyone in a similar situation or have gone through something similar and can give me some insight or guidance? Thank you
