I am 21 living with my parents with nothing to do but clean the house, play video games, watch tv and read books every single day . No friends and if I want to make any I gotta ask my parents first and I already know what they’ll say. In fact, I need their permission for just about everything I really want to do. I also have epilepsy which makes it even harder to get friends or do anything I want; it’s the reason I need my parents’ permission for almost everything. I had friends, if you can call them that, in high school but I let them go after I realized none were really my friends. They were just people I spoke to on a daily basis and they never invited me over to their house or to do anything outside of mine. The person I consider a friend is my sister as we talk and do a lot with each other. When it comes to my seizures I am always afraid of having one in public because I don’t like feeling pitied upon by everyone else or to be watched while it happens and I’m very limited in the things I can do too. My dad said that if I didn’t have epilepsy I would’ve been in football while I was in high school. Makes me wish I didn’t have epilepsy even more because then I would have a clear goal in mind, it would also stop my mom from always complaining that I do nothing around the house. She does it all the time and it makes me feel like what I do doesn’t matter to her. So again I ask when will my life truly begin or am I destined to forever live with my parents with little to nothing to do and little to nobody to do these things with?
