How Do I Cope With Seizures And Stress

​I was asked 3 questions about epilepsy/seizures, by someone who suffers with epilepsy as well. I finally did the video. And I answered them. 

How do deal with the stress of waiting for your next seizure to occur?
Honestly, I don't worry if I'm about to have a seizure. Unless I feel seizurish. (Seizurish: when you feel dizzy or an aura and you are about to have a seizure).  I don't wait for a seizure to happen.  If I feel sick,I listen to my body and go with that. 

Is stress a seizure trigger for you?

Yes stress is definitely a seizure trigger for me. Also, when I have a cold, however that's not on the video. I try to live a chill stress free life.

How do you cope with stress?
That is a great question. I keep everything in usually, so it would come out in the form of a seizure.  For me to better communicate, I actually communicate. Even when it is extremely hard I communicate. I rather open up and let everything be said and fix things. Verses me having a seizure.

I’m glad you are able to manage your seizures. I don’t suffer from them but I do suffer from stress which may come out in a different format. It’s great you provided what you do.
