officially diagnosed with epilepsy

Sa
So after a year of having episodes that sorta resembled fainting. I was officially diagnosed with epilepsy yesterday. (Confirmed by eeg). My doctor wasn't able to give my types a seizures a specific name but said that they were called 'small seizures' and they they were coming from a small area of the brain☹️. 
Anyways I just feel really strange hearing this news and was wondering if anybody is in a similar situation.
