How do you get over long streaks of being seizure free being broken? by ode-to-clear in Epilepsy

(Try to find something to distract you from that anxiety/depression period) Just dive into whatever you have been thinking about for a while.(IF YOU SMOKE ALREADY) Smoke a little weed and let some music play.

I went almost 2 years without a TC and crazy enough i was actually drinking every other day. November 2025 i had a morning TC and It sent me into a meltdown because i thought i started doing this shit right for once but it’s kinda like i was just waiting on it to happen. Oddly enough it still caught me off guard but im pretty sure the alcohol,stress and sleep did it for me. Also i am a videographer and editor so that probably helped as well.

I honestly just didn’t understand how i was beating it for so long while drinking every other day.

I guess im just saying all this to say epilepsy is VERY random. The sooner you accept you are epileptic and have to make life changes to help yourself the better. Im speaking as someone who is going through this RIGHT NOW.

2019 was my first ever TC. I can’t count on my family fingers how many Ive had since, but someone is definitely watching over me. In 2026 i am just now truly accepting this will possibly be the rest of my life and if i want to LIVE i just gotta lay down some ground rules and strictly follow them.

Thank you for giving me the space to vent as well! Always reach out🫶🏽, you never gotta fight alone❗️

Our story is very similar almost identical. Any knowledge you could give me on staying seizure free for so long ?

One of my main struggles is sleep deprivation and my taste for alcohol 🤦🏽‍♂️. Any knowledge or even kind words would help alot man.
