It's hard, my brother will tell me to get out of my room yet he has no idea how much it takes for me to get up when I feel triggered or after having a focal. I have no energy and I fear I will lose control of my wheelchair down the ramp if I go outside sometimes. Get yourself to listen to music when you feel like that if you can. I feel that it helps having my headphones on even if I don't remember half of what I'm listening to. It redirects thinking about it so much. Eating also helps me, protein is a big help some days and others carbs and sugar.

Thanks for that. Anything is useful as I’m in my 60s and feel quit isolated even though I have a partner

Yes it can. I have focal awares that last from one to five seconds on average and mentally I'm done for the day. I still feel triggered even if no seizures happen for days.
