Emotional After Seizure?
Does anyone feel really emotional or a change in their emotions after their seizure or for the next day or so?
I find I can feel quite down and sad, sometimes near crying or I cry a little. Not crying because I can't cope or that I'm upset about having a seizure, just more that I feel really down. In the past I've also felt a little angry or moody after a seizure as well.
Just wondering if this is normal and if anyone else has experienced this?
I have grand mal/tonic clonic seizures.
Thanks x
Every now and then I may feel the blues . But , I don’t let the the blues spiral me down to where I can’t climb out.
My question to you Serenarose . Is your emotions acting up the second you come out of the seizure? Or, are your emotional feelings started up from you actually feeling bad , depression, sad and ect. Are you in control of your emotions and feelings ?
If your emotions start up right away after coming out of the seizure , it meanS that your seizures activity is Located in a area of the brain , where your emotions are.
Seizures and depression as well as brain injuries and brain surgeries are all connected.So if you feel emotional,sad, or depressed after a seizure or cluster of seizures, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! This used to happen to me more often when I was younger.Now I don't let others discourage me, I don't listen to others opinions and let them negatively affect me.It could also be that I have had epilepsy for over 30 years. I have gotten used to it, So it has given me time to learn how to deal with the stigma and how to endure.
Yup, it happens!!!
When I was first diagnosed at 22 until I was about 29 I didn't notice much of a difference in my emotions and mental state of mind after my seizures.. but around 30 things changed and I did start noticing a change and it's gotten worse I'm not 36 and my seizures have gotten worse and more frequent over the last 5 years and I know get extremely emotional and get in a very depressed state after a siezure and sometimes right before one and it can last for days. I know you posted this a long time ago and may not see this but I pray you do and know that your not alone! If you have found anything to help with this please share and when I find out info I'll be sure to let you know. ❤️❤️
Yes just about every time. At first it was fear then anger but now yes just depresses me for a day or so. I guess I'm always hoping it won't happen again
I've Been Told By My Friend And Past Care Assistant I'm To Emotional. Do Other Guys Get This? Or Anyone Else For That Matter?
