Im constantly having anxiety about my seizures. I feel like most of my thoughts throughout the day are me trying to calm myself down so i dont trigger anything.
I usually try to distract myself by cleaning or working on art, listening to music or spending time with my bf and friends and family. Those reminders that you have people that care help a lot

Living with epilepsy since a young child , I had ups and downs learning , adapting, experiencing depression, and find support from a epilepsy group , then learning even more and by my adulthood I started to cope.

When I moved out on my own , I made sure that, I was near transportation services and programs , so I could make it to and from work.

My way of coping with my Epilepsy, is knowing that It is a facts of life and it’s a difficult lifestyle. It’s knowing what our alternatives are , compared to what the average person does and take for granted. Another thing that helps me cope , is reminding myself, that I control my life , not Epilepsy. Trying to keep positive and not get too stressed can help also.

Keep calm and not think about it. I have learned If i think of the possibility of having a seizure stress and anxiety starts to build which leads to a seizure. I have other things to think about.
