Does Anyone Ever Cry After Seizures?

Right after the seizures stop, boom? You cry?

I don't have them . But in my opinion and theory , I think it's like a side effect. But it's not from your meds. It's from your seizures. Your brain waves are so active during your seizure, in the area of the brain that causes you to be emotional and cry.

Im usually very tired & fall asleep afterwards, later though Im very emotional and can just cry for no reason or feel very sad/ depressed sometimes. I think it just comes from what our body goes through it's very hard on all of us physically & emotionally it's always l suppose on our minds, like I can feel like I'm defective sometimes and I would just like to be normal like the person nxt to me that doesn't have any health issues at all.

After the initial not knowing anything or anyone, when reality starts to come back... I cry. And my emotions get so out of whack, and I get so stressed out because of it that I struggle to get it together. I had four seizures in a row two weeks ago and now being on Keppra again I just feel like crying all the time. A struggle to keep it together emotionally even though I am literally living my dream life. :/ I hope I can find happiness again.

I did every time, I think it's the disappointment of knowing you are not seizure free or that the meds are not working as well as you hoped😔

Al of what you describe I, too, understand and feel in my life. All parts of our body (going thru a seizure) are compromised and suffering in one way or another. It is sad, and we cry, and we hope, and we empathize, and we pray. And We Pray. That whole bundle of repetition is enough to produce a deep sadness. We must acknowledge this, and realize how much strength we have demonstrated, over many years, and how much “living” we have lost. We are incredible. We are not defected.
