Does anyone wake up very confused and emotional? I woke up this morning dizzy. I have been having a hard time. Very confused and emotional. Struggling trying to do almost every thing. Like trying to focus and memory. Trying to use my phone. Having a hard time talking. Went to the store couldn't talk to cashier. If I would have I would of starting crying. I just need people to talk to that understand what it is like to have epilepsy.
Me 2 Joan, I sometimes forget that "oh yeah this is just epilepsy" I just chill out and watch a comic or a comedy. Take care ♥

stay silly and stress free as much as possible

She was so funny, we stayed there about 1 hour over our time and then my seizure. I am so tired of them happening at good times. We were all laughing, talking, having a good time and seizure. It didn't last long 45 seconds at the most and then I was rushed home and fell asleep .

Hello! I'm new to this site and I have a question that I hope won't garner too much judgment: is anyone else here an epileptic who is (or once was) also an alcoholic? Or do you know someone else who is like that? I am both an epileptic and an alcoholic, and I realize my substance abuse is putting me at an increased risk of having seizures.

I used to drink relatively small amounts, but once I started on AEDs (especially benzos) I stopped. It isn't worth the risk. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I can be happy without alcohol - no need for… read more
If you enjoy reading, a good book to help you with this is “How to be comfortable without being uncomfortable” by Ben Aldridge. Remember positive thoughts generally lead to positive outcomes 👍❤️🙏
