So I went to the mental health hospital lately cause I have a burnout and I have them every five years exactly. The nurse there wanted me to try lamotrigine and he said he think I’m neurodivergent. When I did research on autism and everything I fell on temporal lobe epilepsy. It describe exactly what I’ve been living with for twenty two years. At first it was every time I opened the fridge. Not it happens most days but not every day and it’s not fridge related.
What is bugging me now is that there are so many things that I thought were personality traits that I now think are related to the epilepsy and temporal lobe scarring.
On one hand I’m happy to find a diagnosis that I feel fits me better than all those I’ve heard all my life but on the other hand I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore. It’s a very scary feeling.
Anyone can relate?
