Why do emotional highs sometimes lead to emotional lows, and is this normal?
Yes, experiencing emotional lows after emotional highs is normal for people with epilepsy. Living with epilepsy can make mood swings more frequent or extreme due to the stress of managing the condition.
Several factors contribute to these emotional Show Full Answer
Emotions can cause many of a reaction which could be stress or anxiety. The cognitive location is always within the hippocampus area however neural patterns tend to be slightly different for each person. It's taken me awhile to understand this and I didn't fully understand it until going through all three of my surgeries over the years. (Left TLE 1995, VNS device 2008, DBS device 2011). I find myself still learning at times as there can be brief changes to how the seizure activity can and/or will change after all of the surgeries have taken place.
It’s really normal. I almost always have a big down and then after the seizure I’m hyper sensitive to even-like a emotional high. It can happen the other way around but when it does, I’ll have a seizure that I have to go to the hospital for, be held 4 hrs- I try leaving before that because the noises and lights can lead me into a second seizure, but I need the fluids put into me so I go.
That be exactly why suffering epilepsy be akin to riding a rollercoaster .. the ups and downs be quite dramatic indeed .. helps to remember things do tend to level off somewhat in between .. hugs snd prayers to be holding on tight from William and Jen💜💙🤗🕊
I'm Just Sick & Tired Of These Emotionals PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
