It's so very hard to adjust to epilepsy, I've always had anxiety (since my late 20's- I'm 46 now, diagnosed at 43) be patient allow yourself to adjust. And remember your not alone. I believe that most of us have anxiety, it goes hand and hand with having epilepsy (in my opinion) eventually, I have gotten to a point in thinking to myself, anxiety only worsens my epilepsy symptoms, so I try and meditate and think positive thoughts, this too shall pass. Breath slowly, and when all else fails, I take my anxiety meds. Good luck. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

KristiWatkins your story sounds much like mine. After my first episode that night. Mom and I stared putting things together. I would wake u✅ some days soaking my bed at the age of 32, staring off like I was ignoring you and have these constant dreams like a story. While I am in one it starts to pick up where it left off. I have come of it at times laughing and crying. I try so hard to remember it. It is all blank. I asked friends and family if I say smtg tell me so I might put the story together.

I wake up with anxiety and it's a constant battle to refrain from succumbing to it. In not the person I use to be, and for me that is something I have come to terms with,but I'm so anxious about my future.

Many of us struggle with a level of anxiety. Some may struggle with a lot other can tolerate and cope with their stress.

My depression has got worse since I lost my dad to cancer so I don't have any family i hope you get things sorted good luck kristi
