Thanks for responding. I had the PTSD first, a long time ago and seizures just started at the age of 61. 😀

Unfortunately, not a question I can answer… one you probably need to talk to a professional for.

The only thing I can say is, if you already have an epilepsy diagnosis, then your intense thoughts of ANY situation that causes you undue stress/fear/panic can result in a seizure, just like any current stress would. Sometimes the thought of seeing my abusive dad for a family gathering coming up can cause me to have a seizure. I’m 64 and it’s been a very long time since the abuse.
I’m sorry you’ve had to endure this. ❤️
