Paranoia After Seizure

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I would like to ask a question. When you have a seizure, does anyone else get really paranoid about anything? For me, it is my bills. After a seizure I forget I have paid my monthly bills and within a day or so after a seizure, I will repay one or two.

I have to mark everything on a calendar anymore because of the same thing, we come too half the time not knowing where we are clouded and paranoid, and more times then not clueless of our surroundings. So my best advice is to make sure you mark everything down... Hope this helps

Perhaps mark on a calendar when the bills are due, and then tick as soon as you've paid them. Then, after a seizure you can easily see which have been paid and which have not. i'm sorry if this seems like an obvious answer, i'm not sure what your current technique is. This is how i have to do all my important things as my memory is awful!
