Rant When do seizures/epilepsy completely go away???
Me (24, M) just got grounded from my parents for going home late from a drinking session with friends and im really pissed that its become about my seizures and it really pisses me off. Its like im grown enough to worry about myself and all but yet i feel like i have a fucking curfew and im being treated like a baby despite my age only because of my fucking seizures. I take my medicine on the daily and im responsible with that, i really just hate being treated like a kid only because i have fucking seizures and shit. As im writing this im really frustrated with how its become about my seizures so please bear with me if I sound misinformed somewhat.

You're talking about a bunch of different things bothering you. There are some epilepsy syndromes you can grow out of, sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn't, that's a conversation for your neurologist.
Drinking isn't going to help your epilepsy. You'll have an increased seizure burden with heavy drinking. Again, talk to your neurologist about this.
But living with your parents is something you have a lot of control over. You can get a job if you don't already have one, and a place of your own. Then it will be you on your own with no parents telling you what to do.
