What are your thoughts on self help groups for epilepsy?

I have seen people with severe epilepsies - and sometimes even mentally handicapped - who take things, after a while when they adjust to it, you know after they have worked on their pace you know to cope with epilepsy and eventually even with the handicap. They can cope with life in general in an easier way and sometimes people with a less serious epilepsy they feel it's even worse for them, it's terrible and they can't live very well then because they haven't coped with it yet.

And it helps so it's for everybody and everybody takes what it wants out of the group. It's finding a place where you're listened to, where you can share your emotions, share the burdens of life and sometimes it's too much and then it becomes better eventually but anyway you have people who live the same thing that you live and you are going through and then I think it helps a lot.
