I do work currently. I am an intake specialist at a family owned law firm. The stress is moderate (I do not think I would be successful at a more stressful position... probably would be prone to more seizures), benefits are OK (I would love to find a better job, less stress, but better benefits) but I am nervous to look because they are really understanding with my condition.
However, I always worry about how long I will be able to last working.
Thank you for listening.

I don't like the feeling of taking all the medication I need in the morning and night, it makes feel so dependent on it. Like if I am stuck in a situation where I don't have it for my epilepsy. Working or not, it is always there.

Epilepsy, depending on the progression of the condition, the intensity of the seizures, and other symptoms/complications, can make certain working environments challenging.
Let's hear from you.
