@Alysaa219 , makes a good point. Changes in your personality, behavior and emotion changes, could be from medication side effects and possibly seizures.

From an emotional point . Going way back in my teens , I was in downward spiral. I was depressed and felt alone. I even thought I was the only one with Epilepsy. When My mom started bringing me to the Epilepsy Foundation support group, I realized that I wasn’t the only one with Epilepsy. Many of my group also thought the same . They group and staff helped me out of my downward spiral and got me back on my feet. I learned a lot more than I did as a teen. I started to cope better and by my 20s I was well coped.

I don't know if I would've been like this if I didn't have seizures but I have one of them personalities where it's either you love me or you hate me. My one friends afraid of me going to a psychiatrist because he's afraid it will alter who I am. A lot of people for some reason like my sense of humor. I don't know what I would've been like if I didn't have epilepsy but I feel like I probably changed for the better.

I don't think I have any answer to this because there are good days, but the bad days can be so difficult and stressful that sometimes they seem to just run together and you try to get yourself out of that darkness but it can be so hard!
