Coping with Epilepsy and Driving Setbacks

Hi! So, I can't drive due to my epilepsy and sometimes that causes me to emotionally freak out because I feel as if I'm behind everyone else. And like I'm a burden. Does anyone else struggle with this setback? If so, how do you cope with it?

I feel the same way, I'm already 22 and people are asking me why I don't have my license yet and I just don't know what to say. And it's annoying to always need someone to rely on to drive you places

I feel this way all the time. I always feel bad asking friends and family for rides places because I know they don't always wanna drop what they're doing to take me. I've somewhat learned to accept the fact that I'll probably never drive. It took me some time to accept it though.
