I more often think about the triggers and whether I have done something which might trigger a seizure later that night. I try to avoid most triggers but it’s not always possible if you want to live a normal life. Once I’ve had a seizure I try to figure what may have triggered it. Stress and anxiety are probably the biggest factors, not always easy to control. This is just me though.

It's understandable to feel anxious about not knowing when the next seizure may occur. However, constant worrying and stressing rarely changes outcomes. As the member shared, it can help to accept what you can't control and focus on carrying on with your day. Many members have found it empowering to develop a level of comfort with the uncertainty of seizures. This allows staying present rather than preoccupied with the past or future. Taking care of your health, identifying triggers, and preparing emergency plans can provide some reassurance without needing to obsess over what you can't predict.

I do stress about it. Bcse my seizures are always different. They can be not bad at all or very bad. I’ve been trying to tell myself that it’s ok. I’ve always been a bit high strung so that doesn’t help. But I’m trying. Happy new year.
