Maybe you will be well, maybe you won't. Life is certainly a crapshoot isn't it?
I do understand though. Sometimes I think those times in which I feel "normal" exist only to punctuate the rest of the times when I don't. Although I guess you could flip that and say the bad times exist to make the good times good. But whatever.
Sometimes we all have to (and certainly get to) howl at the moon so to speak about what has been dealt to us.
I would not be surprised at all, if some years down the road, your condition and others like it are classified as seizure disorders.
Hypersensitivity, certain types of migraines and even cataplexy just seem to me to be sub-threshold seizure conditions. While you don't have frank seizures, you may have a certain kind of absence seizure characterized by sleep.
The ironic thing is that a bump on the head as a child can potentially cause it.
All in all, I guess we are as well as we can be. We have certainly earned the right to define our own "well" as separate and distinct from what others do.
As far as not having a child. Total and utter poppycock. I can not and will not validate that thought.
Your son is a lucky lucky child to have a mom that is self aware, smart and clearly has a lot to offer.
But again, howling at the moon is certainly allowed.
Seldom.
