Well I have seen a psychiatrist and I have epilepsy. I'll leave it up to you whether they are related or not. After explaining the situation to the psychiatrist he simply said they aren't your friends. This was 10-15 years ago in a work environment and all of us had known each other for years. I considered them friends but that is ok if they wanted to play games I was up to the task. I just hadn't engaged that portion of my personality with them. You see they were working hard at being the gap between the sphincter at the end of the colon...but I am a natural. When I engaged they were wondering if they needed lawyers. I assured them they didn't. They knew where they stood and that was enough. They weren't my friends is what you should take away from this. If possible get a new set of friends. Yeah and I suppose it is ok to defend yourself too. While I have to be real careful when I engage that portion of my personality you probably don't. I am an introvert so my comfort zone is not going out. Covid didn't change my lifestyle at all. I have to force myself to walk out the door. I always have fun when I do. You probably will too. Good luck to you.

Are you sure you have Epilepsy or were you seeing a psychiatrist because you were/are having Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures (PNES) which are psychologically induced instead of having abnormal brain electrical discharges.
