Hello my fellow Warriors, this is Tom your friendly neighborhood Researcher

When it comes to seizures, any type of seizure has triggers behind it that will cause the seizure to happen.

The KEY note here is to identify and understand what the triggers are. That is the first part in stopping seizure break throughs.

Once you can identify the trigger, take action and avoid the triggers so you are less likely to have a seizure.

When it comes to stress and anxiety, most people will practice something we call the art of Yoga.

Yoga is a form of meditation that will reduce both Anxiety and Stress. I am also adding in Anxiety because you can not have Stress without the other. It's like a man and wife marriage.... they go hand N hand

As for being overly tired, that tells me that you are not getting enough sleep. Once again, this is a trigger that will cause a seizure to happen.

To help with sleep, here are some ideas to try....
It's important to get sleep because it could be a trigger for a seizure to happen.

Here are the ideas

1> Established a sleeping schedule and set a time to go to bed. Go to bed at that hour all the time and stick to it.

2> If you can, buy yourself a sleeping mask that will block any light from hitting the eyes. Thus, waking you up. Be sure to have the curtains closed all the way...not allowing the light to shine in through the window.

3> If you are a reader, read a book until your eyes become tired.

4> Blink your eyes fast for 20 seconds.

5> Avoid to many screens before you go to bed.

6> Get on a regular schedule work out before bed time.

One more thing to do.... always take your medicine on time..... don't forget.

Hope this helps you.

I had one at a stop light once and the lady behind me after honking and honking finally got me to snap out of it and by the time I realized what was going on the light had turned red again. I felt like a POS and could see her cursing me out in my rear view mirror. Driving is such a grey area for me and my Neuro Dr that I'm ready to just say F it and let the chips fall where they may. Life is short and I'm only focused on my well being these days nobody else.

I have absence seizures most days. Especially late evenings. They are like staring episodes to my surroundings but I'm day dreaming and off somewhere else or totally blank. If I'm out and have 1 its because there's too much going on around me - sensory overload. I try to stay local when I'm in the city and out alone. Try not to go out at all if I'm tired. I sleep where I work so that helps. Have had to learn how to make alot of life adjustments because of absence seizures. Its ongoing.

Yes stress or overload or PTSD seems to bring my absence seizures but they are very rare nowadays gratefully

Mainly stress and if my routine changes
