WATCH OUT FOR THESE AED'S!

I think I have a pattern to my tonic clonic nocturnal seizures, which is one seizure every 7 to 10 days.

I have only been diagnosed for two months and am really finding it hard to stop my worrying and just would like to know if anyone has any advice about how they began to accept their diagnoses? Thank you
