After A Seizure

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Overland, MO

Does anyone else freak out after having a seizure? Like I cry and freak out because I don't know what happened. I've always done this. After a while of crying I calm down and ask what happened.

When i was younger and had them I used to wake up, with my parents by me making sure I was okay, and when I was able to talk I would ask if I just had a seizure and they would always say yes and I would either just sit there in silence or sometimes if it was a long time when I would have one I would freak out and get really pissed and start to cry and feel sorry for myself. With time I learned to just deal with it. It will get better. I have learned to deal with a lot of things with learning how to just accept that things happen in life for a reason. Whether it's good or bad.. just be thankful that you have loved ones who look out for u and care about you and that you don't have anything more wrong health wise. :) I know every day that I don't have a seizure I am very thankful.

I have been fortunate , I haven't had a seizure in 16 or so years. I remember when I did have one ,I was too fried to have a lot of emotion ......with the deepest respect to your situation , ......my family would say I had s seizure and I would say........" Ok " ....and move on accept my situation..talk to my dr and have my meds adjusted....it's a part of who I am......oh yea my dr is still adjusting my meds because of side effects...

I honestly do not know. I do not remember my seizures. I do not remember a time before or after my seizures and I do not remember the recovery period. I have a blank period, as if there is a period of time in the universe that was cut out. The reason I say that is because I have the seizure, I come out of it. I get around have some time to recover and then find myself somewhere else and doing something normal about an hour after the seizure, not having a clue how I got there. I have to be told what happened. Is that part of the seizure, I do not know. I usually just sit down and try to relax, try to piece time back together again. Then I jump in my tartis and get back to the 20th century. (One must smile and make fun of this somehow otherwise I don't know what I would do.)
