Excitement? I tend to get seizures when I get excited. Maybe the excitement of having a new job is causing the seizure

You are probably dealing with both stress and anxiety. And if you add work on top of that can result in seizures. I know because that is what I suffered from. Your meds may also play into this also. So try not to let stress be a part of your life. Motto: LESS STRESS = LESS MESS!
Take care.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member so you are saying you have sudden mood swings seizures? its where sudden changes (happy to sad or mad) will trigger a seizure. those seizures is in children but phase out around the teens but there is rare studies of adults getting um.
or its totally random and its the luck (or unlucky) of the draw.
