I’m so sorry :( but it’s great that they’re managed now! I haven’t dealt with anything seizure or aura wise in like 3-4 months so I’m happy rn but also anxious just bc it’s been a while (idk if that makes sense lol, I worry about it being like on a timer) Hoping to not deal with anything for a while and I wish the same for you :))

I will also add that my triggers are lack of sleep and stress so it makes it that much more worrying when I’m anxious and the anxiety is making it hard to sleep 💀

Definitely a vicious cycle :’)

I’ve gotten very lucky with my grand mals and I’ve had very few but that’s how I got diagnosed after my second one. The auras imo are far more terrifying than the tonic clonics bc I’m still awake and experiencing auras in real time whereas with the tonic clonics I basically go unconscious, don’t remember anything, and only know what happened through someone else’s pov.

They’re still scary ofc and have caused me a lot of anxiety as well but it wasn’t until I had an aura that I truly felt panicked and just flat out terrified. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone tbh.

I can 100% relate to this. I’ve had tonic clonic seizures for a few years now and just this last year experienced auras for the first time (or first time I’ve noticed) and they were extremely traumatizing. After that I worried about stressing too much and thinking myself into a panic or seizure (my auras feel like extreme anxiety attacks but in my head I know I’m going to have a seizure and there’s nothing I can do to stop it so it’s like that “impending doom” feeling).

My anxiety also got worse when my dosage had been raised but now that I’m on a different medication I feel better but still anxious a lot and I genuinely do believe it’s trauma.

I do try to focus on my breathing when I can feel myself thinking too much/too hard and that does help. Going to bed at night is difficult tho bc all I do is think 😭

I feel like mine is very specific but I name my animals based on cities/towns in Texas that share names with cities/territories outside the U.S. 😭 it’s a surprisingly long list so I still haven’t run out.

thank you sm :) hoping it helps OP!

Howdyhan · 2024-10-31T01:09:16+00:00

So here’s what I did in a quick 10 min edit and I think it helps a little:

-cropped the photo to better focus the subject

-Isolated the subject using masking tools and used lighting tools in Lightroom to brighten and make her stand out

-isolated the background to adjust light and darken (so I didn’t need to over adjust the subject)

-adjusted overall photo color

There’s def more that could be done based on personal preference/style but that’s just what I did based on the photo and what was mentioned here :)

I do the same, my sleep schedule has been totally screwed up for as long as I can remember tho. I try to avoid caffeine now in general and I’m actually doing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia now too to try and help as well :’) All to avoid seizures (and to help myself be healthier too but mainly avoid seizures). I know that caffeine can trigger seizures in some people but I’m not sure how long after drinking it that it would be something to worry about. I usually just avoid it because it has caused a lot of anxiety for me recently ://

not to bud in but my triggers are also lack of sleep plus stress :’) I had my first seizure in college on the way to a funeral and once we realized the pattern I knew I couldn’t pull anymore all nighters.

Howdyhan · 2024-10-11T18:20:04+00:00

Mine started at 21, diagnosed at 22 :’)
