Stress and anxiety triggering seizures

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. Any high emotion could trigger a seizure happy or sad. Had many while say at a concert but woul never miss one just cause of that. Remember our meds to avoid them not what we do or think. Real anxiety then a panic attack would occur which can be far worse than a seizure & harder to control as well.

    1. I am learning to let go of things that really not that relivant.

      1. Smoking Marijuana on occasion. Not daily unless I'm really stressed. Retirement and Epilepsy meds help too

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