I am feeling dumb and half knowledged among others. I have been sharing same cab with a guy for about a month and so, yet I couldn't tell atleast the point where the person gets in the cab to the new cab driver who doesn't know directions. My cabmate said "You don't know this?" And gave a friendly laugh. But it felt like huge embarassment to me for someone of my age.

Another incident is like when I join conversations and start to socialize, they build up to be basic conversations of everyone's life. But I stop mid conversation because I feel I don't know what they are talking deep about it. Mostly because I never got to experience or never really got exposed to real life due to my condition.

Does this happen to you guys?

Can people with epilepsy leave this world when they have seizures? I remember a girl in my college who's around 18 or 19 left this world when she had seizures. Do people fear of becoming unalive due to this? I am not afraid of being unalive but afraid of the way I would become unalive, like with pain and agony.

(I don't know if I could use some of the words here so I mentioned "unalive")

Do people with epilepsy have weaker memory and low cognitive skills. It happens to me all the time. I definitely felt slowed down after I started my meds. I remember all the weirdest stuff like birthdays, and around 30 different mobile numbers, emails, 75% of the periodic table. And I can even name 85% of pokemon as a pokemon fan. I remember different things and their names in different categories. But I can't really remember what I did like two days ago. Sometimes what I did in the morning. I am forgetting important things to be kept in my mind and instead I feel why do I remember this junk. Does this happen to all of you too?

I recently came to know that people like a generation before us used herbs and the medicines made out of them to completely put an end to seizures. Did anyone hear about that? I met some people over 40 who said it worked on them. Is this true and does anyone has any idea about this?
