Does Anyone Ever Feel Like When They Calm Down It Is Hard To Become That Way And Perhaps It May Be Due To Stress?
When I have been way too stressed out I find it very hard to calm down. I almost feel weary of falling asleep and I am not sure if i have had seizures or if it is exhaustion because I never get a break or even enough sleep. Sometimes I feel like i am falling into lala land and very upset but i am not sure if it is emotional and wishing i had a second to myself and exhaustion. Could it be because I am tired and just need a break or can it be because I had a seizure? I have allways had trouble… read more
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member i saw your profile and you are on keppra. one of the main side effects of keppra is mood swings (keppra rage). i have keppra too and i used to get that keppra rage. i take vitamin milk thistle and the keppra rage is gone.
as for the 2 woman, did you tell them that its a random thing and you have to wait for a couple of minutes to recover for optimal results. question... did you have brakes and/or a 9am-5pm job (just a guess for the hours)? if you are a live-in maid, i think you have brakes every couple of minutes for every hour or so you work. if you have a set hour (9-5), you can say that you have a set time and after that its my time.
like i said before. you need a mini brake. go to your room and do something that makes you happy. if you like music, go listen to music. if you like to draw, go draw or doodle. mom taught me 'you can leave a house to water but you cant make um drink.' the woman are set in there ways and nothing you can do about that. but you can do is use your brakes and/or family time to just do nothing.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member ok.. now i get it. then you need a group meeting to get the ground rules. if you guys are living together, you have to play together. no screaming and ranting when you are sleeping and vice versa. if they say no, get the radio/tv and crank up when they are sleeping. that or get those noise canceling headphones or a white noise app to cancel out the bitching and screaming.
Nope. I live here. My mom works for 3 days a week thats it and my aunt and her and gma are allways here. I am cleaning everything fixing it all and as soon as my kids get home watching after them. When they are at shcool i sit down and take a nap sometimes yet my aunt has a nocturnal schedual and gets up off and on and screams and rants at me and stays up till 4am most times. When thay are all home they sleep till afternoon but im allways awake by 6am kids or not and find it hard to sleep cause if i hear a tiny noise i wake up and cant fall back asleep. The docs say they dont think i should work yet a reg job.. Im waiting till my appt next month to tell them again. Perhaps i shouldnt even care. We have 3 dogs a cat 2 horses 5 chickens and a rooster which i also care for. They are pretty noisy
Sometimes whenever you are feeling like you are getting to be a little bit lazy it might be because of the medication you are on, I seriously think you are being overdosed on your current medications. I would have your neurologist do regular blood work on you at least once every 6-8 weeks whenever you are put on a new drug. Sooner if you feel more strange might be as soon as the next day. I have no issues with my epilepsy especially right after I have one, I feel weak at times but that will be normal at times. Everyone is not the same about the abuse section of the medications. If this occurs quit this medication at once and advise your neurologist that you have discontinued this and the reason why for it may not be for you. Every time this happens, mark this down and give it to your neurologist whenever see him/her next.
Thank you for all of your answers i appreciate them. Yes i can get angry but usually hold it in till last cord is cut. I dont violentally react and actually try to get out of the situation and even consider how to react before addressing it. I keep checklists in my head as refferance when it comes down to being a defender. Sometimes its more difficult due to living in a living room sleeping on a chair and never having a bit of privacy silence or consideration from others. I have 3 other woman my son and daughter here. The two woman have hormonal imbalance and are very negative, lazy and self regarded.(to put it nicely). I get criticized for everything they can imagine even when i am the maid and the house sparkles every day and my illness is not regarded even if i pass out and then they scream at me for not standing up even after they have caused me not to sleep all not staying up yelling and being loud in knoweledge that ive been awake 5 hours before them and need some sleep. Its not really anger i have a problem with because i regard my actions wisely and as a mother my words as well. I ask about the medical part and abuse because allthough i have tried to state a point to show them my medical issues make a huge impact on me and it isnt simple allthough i make make it seem so, they are making it become worse and very bad and im feeling more sick every day and without rest i cant ever feel ok either. I mean you would think your own mother would realize or care that her actions and screaming and critismn is making your life hard to deal with and causing you to be more sick.?? This isnt the first time btw. I left before because it got so bad.
