Partial Seizures/absence Seizures
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone else feel a seizure come on, and then start to self talk to try and stop the seizure? I find when i feel a seizure coming on, i’ll get into a safe position as quick as possible, and then i’ll start to try and tell myself to not go into it, and that im okay..and then the next thing i know im coming back to, and i feel like absolute crap :( usually really emotional and crying too

Yes! When I feel a seizure I mentally talk myself out of it for hours! I usually wont go all the way into a seizure it will just be this fight in my head and the aura feeling. If that makes since. Fatigue follows.

Oh ya. It seems like (maybe) its reduced the intensity of mine if i relax, close my eyes and take deep breaths. Taking deep breaths will help you clear your mind. If someone is around you tell them to stay calm too. I have grand mals and there has been one time i have tried this and the one time i tried it, it worked. I never went into the grand mal and it was the best feeling ever.

Absolutely! I definitely think there are a couple times I've been successful with it, but it scares other people because I don't like to tell them what I'm trying to do and if I do seize, they're completely caught off guard :/

It’s very cautious of you to try to get into someplace safe and try to steady yourself but they can be unpredictable and sometimes you can’t go around it. 🥺 I understand the emotional and crying it can be hard but just try to not let it bring you down too much. I pray you feel better. 💜💜💜💜💜

There are times where I can feel it coming on but I can't get to a safe place fast enough. It sucks when you come back because you feel like crap, everything hurts & you just want to sleep the rest of the day or night away.
