Well of course I am!  Lol, I am posting this is the "Living with Disabilities" section!  Haha, Well, let me list off what I have.  Epilepsy is one of them.  It's not really controlled and I have been on TONS of medication. In fact, I am on two new medications which make it impossible to live.  The two medications I take are Stavzor and Keppra.  Lol, Both make me tired beyond all reason and usually end up depressing me.  Because of them my balance is off a bit and I can't drive or walk long distances.  I'm not allowed to swim or really do anything that could put me in any possible danger.  I also have migraines.  They say it's connected with the seizures but who knows.  Haha, the doctors don't. I take Zomig for the migraines and it works WONDERS!  Let's see.  I have ADD and I get hyper, Haha, so in other words I have ADHD.  Myopia is another thing I have.  Hmm, Bipolar, which is just another effect of my medication.  I have severe memory problems, but my friends love me for it anyhow, Haha.  I get depressed quickly, though I have never been so far under I haven't been able to push out when I needed to.  That is about it I think... Haha, I can't really tell half the time.  Now living with all these things is very difficult.  You always have to look at the positives.  For instance, I have alot of time on my hands to help out those less fortunate than me.  I get my sleep.  And I can make alot of jokes.  Especially about the time I died for ten minutes.  Haha, but that is another story.  But for those that have disabilities, the best way to live with them is with humor!  Make it a joke and it makes life feel better!  Even if you can't do quite everything that everyone else can do.  Just think.. Because of your disability you might know how to do something a thousand times better than anyone else! Well, that's all folks! Until next time on "Keep your head on straight!"  Lol, Kidding!  I'm not a weekly guy, Haha.  More of a once in a blue moon person.

I guess, if it works for you.  But putting "haha" after "I'm about to die" doesn't always help.

Not for everyone.  But If I die, I will die with a smile on my face and a laugh coming from me!

Sweet of you to build up so much courage. But life isn't one big haha. I mean not everyone would live by your type logic. At most, just content yourself.

I agree with you there.  Not everyone has my type of personality.  I just hope that some people may find this inspirational and find happiness in themselves.
