Is it stupid to quite a job just because I know I'll eventually have a seizure because of it?
Post Body

There's a lot of things I avoid in my life because of my seizures, and some of it is stuff that I SHOULD be avoiding (e.g. being low on sleep, a lot of caffeine, extreme stress), but theres other stuff I avoid just because I think it could become a trigger or it gives me a feeling like I'm about to have one (things that cause my heart rate to go up a lot, for example) I don't want to let epilepsy rule my life, but I also don't want to, if you'd believe, go back to where I was at this point last year where I was having multiple seizures a day. My current job is in shifts of 9 hours, 5 of which I am alone for. There are other reasons I don't like my job, but during my last shift, I had an aura and couldn't do anything about it, including sit down, because there was no one to relieve me. I've only been here for a month and its TECHNICALLY just a side job while I get my own business up and running, but is it stupid to quit just because I feel like I MIGHT have a seizure and I'm scared of being alone and not having anyone to help me if I get confused or need to go home afterwards?

This is also my first job since getting diagnosed so I guess I'm looking for guidance from anyone who has experience with this...
