Stress can be hard to avoid, but our bodies can feel its impact. For some, stress or anxiety can also be a cause of seizures. And then more stress and anxiety about having seizures can pile on top of that! It can be a vicious cycle.

**Tell us: How do you manage your stress and anxiety to avoid seizures?

  1. Prayer is powerful to me a little talk with Jesus sometimes calmes my anxiety a little bit

    1. Listening to music. Or doing things and a musician. Artwork. Playing with the guide Dog I have. A bigger stressor is when you are around an emotional contagion someone who is controlling and has such aggression due to their own stress and anxiety. All I can do is get up and walk away. My neurologist told me don’t forget seizure triggers include other people.

      1. I have to humble myself and read to try and not have stress or anxiety but I still have it every now and then.
