Does Anyone Deal With Depression Or Anger Or Feelings Of Worthlessness Post Seizure And How Do You Work Thru It?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

How does your family deal with your post seizure emotions? My wife keeps asking me what’s wrong or why are you upset but when I tell her it’s nothing she’s doing and it’s just normal post seizure she gets upset. She’ll say “it’s all in your head” or “it’s been 3 weeks get over it” or “do you not care how I feel”.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member i have a lot of families and some have that. dad (and others) are caring and loving but is doing it wrong way or in the wrong time. when i have an aura or something pre seizure, dad tries to be 'funny' or 'goofy'. dads methods sometimes works. thats because those jokes are so stupid or funny that my mind gets out of the seizure just to say 'your hilarious' or 'really!?'.

I’m a carer for my husband. Hardest part for e is when he starrs having seizures again and can’t drive. It’s very hard on both of us and he gets depressed and angry. I understand it imust be horrible but I still struggle trying to deal with it and help with transportation. Pretty exhausting ad depressing.

She needs to go to one of your appointments and talk with your Dr. , to learn and understand better about Epilepsy.

Another idea is to lookup your state Epilepsy Foundation and find out if they have a conference coming up. Hopefully she can learn more from that.
