Hormones play a big role in emotion The first almost overwhelming one at seizure start is due to the rush of hormones caused by it. Intensity of this said to be like the intensity of thought from it-may be why so many creative geniuses had seizures.Still quite unknown why of course. All talk of stress but in reality any high emotion in brain with high hormone could cause a seizure.To try to rein all in to avoid seizures will not help control as well as meds can.

I agree. I am emotional too and having to clean up someone else’s mess would make me very angry.

Absolutely. Usually a few days before and after.

I have moments of emotion from time to time that can be intense. I am learning to accept this as my new normal. The people around me are having to meet the new me.
