Hi there Carla,
I have had epilepsy for around 8 years now (I am nearly 22 yrs old) and I used to drive until recently. I have found (like you have) that I used to depend on the car to go everywhere and when I first lost my license, I was lost without the car. But after a while, I began to find that I didnt really need the car to go to many of the places. Taking into account your asthma, perhaps gentle walking is an option where you live? I live in North Wales so there are plenty of places you can walk. Movies are OK to a point, but you run the risk of staying indoors so much that you never go out and become a total social recluse. Family days out are good fun too. Perhaps a day out with your son/daughter(s) to a place you want to go like a museum, landmark, theme-park... what ever takes your fancy. Maybe there are social clubs you can join in your area. (Clubs for various collections, {like netsukes, various ornaments and even stamps!} sports - taking into account your asthma {Such as snooker/pool, bowls etc} or even a new hobby like crafts, tarot reading or maybe studying?
If you have a religion, you could make a point of going to a gathering once a week. These are all things you can do, where you can pick and choose when you attend (so reliability isnt an issue) and if you were to have a sz, you would be safe.
As your your mood, all of the above will help. Getting out and about is always a good way of lifting your mood. I am a psychology student and I have read quite a few published papers regarding exercise and mood. It doesnt have to be strenuous exercise. (Im not suggesting you should go run a marathon here, maybe just walking to one of your new found activities?!) Just getting out in the sunshine help your body produce vitamin D too! Being out for 15 minutes, 3 times a week is enough to produce enough vitamin D for the week. So getting out is healthy, fun and mood lifting!
I hope this helps. If you want to email me privately, my email address is available.
Best Wishes
Darren
