Childhood Epilepsy: Anyone Else Treated Differently?

Hey everyone, my name is Jasper and I am a 19 year old trans man. I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was only 6 because of a benign tumor in the frontal lobe of my brain. I've always had a very watchful eye on me. I want to know if anyone else was treated like that as a child with epilepsy or even now.

I was treated this way as well. I was allowed to go to school but never any events outside of it. Forget about field trips. Even as an adult and being sezuire "free" for 10+ years; I wasnt allowed to use a knife or lock doors or go anywhere alone. Even in my own house.

Yes, I was watched very closely as well. Almost to a point where I'd dub it suffocation when it came to personal privacy.

I couldn't say it more accurately myself. I'd be lucky to go out with friends to a pool party at 12 years old–
