Has Anyone Ever Had Seizures From "Bad Nerves?"
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I live in a apartment and it just seems like when Im around people that I dont get along with, I have a seizure. Or even hoping I dont have a seizure, I have one anyways.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Too many times! Whenever possible, try to stay away from these people until you become very good on "deflecting" their comments or actions that get you going. Anything and anyone that/who raises the stress level of someone with Epilepsy/Seizure Disorders is a threat to trigger a seizure.

In case of the stressful professor, it is best to demonstrate attention, but do not absorb the insults as personal because for some people this is how they treat most others (especially when they are in a superior position, as is the case of a professor to student or boss to worker). My supervisor (assistant director) was someone who could raise my stress level (mostly due to annoyance but also knowledge that if my voice level goes up she will interpret it to be yelling at her or if my email message is covering more than one subject and "too long" by her assessment, etc.)

NOTE: Anything beyond the length of that paragraph would be considered too long by her standards.

The key is to find a safe place to vent (even if it is going in a room away from anyone else and yelling it all out), but DO NOT use public media sources (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) or a place at work to do the venting.

I managed to get it to a level that she could do no more than give me headaches. I have achieved the same for most people.

I was born with it. I agree with Randy. It was tough growing up. If I wasn't so stubborn I don't know where I would be today. I think I fought more for the people who couldn't.
