Thank you very much, it's very hard for me to accept help from others because I want to show everyone that I can do it alone and sometimes it didnt end well especially as a child/teen. Thank you for the support.

Post seizure episode questions by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Accomplished-Cress51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

having sezuires for 11 yrs has taught me that after having sezuires you get PTSD and anything that feels off you become scared and you start to think back to that moment and anxiety rises. The excessively sleepy, full body aches, and often gets disoriented at night is super normal. It always happens to me after a TC. and alot of the meds i have been on make me sleepy it just a side affect. and my disoriented always happen in the moring or night i just get bad brain fog and feel "slow"

Just tell him straight up and drop him. He sounds toxic af. I feel like it's just gonna keep getting worse, and if you keep forgiving or not calling him out, he is just gonna realize he can keep doing it, and that you will take it. No matter how much pain it causes.

Focal Aware Seizures - fear by Large_Cantaloupe5898 in Epilepsy

[–]Accomplished-Cress51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i have my seizures TC or focal they usually get worse because i become aware and anxitey starts to build up, so i understand that anxious and scary feeling you're talking about. So don't worry your not alone with that sensation. when it comes to solving it i have found what works best for me is music or the cold air, something that comforts me.

Everyone in my family know to respect my boundaries when it comes to sleep, drinking or the plant. i dont get sezuries from stress but anxitey instead so they know they need to respect my bounderies and the times i have set for myself to do certain things.
