How To Beat Extreme Exhaustion/depression That Come With Epilepsy?I'm Using Emdr, Cbt, Medications... Most Days Can Barely Get Out Of Bed.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chadron, NE

It's so tough because people are rude and assume I'm lazy etc. If just bought a house before this got bad and now may lose it. Kids dad tells them things Like there's a lot of people that have the same diagnosis as your mom and they work. So now I have my kids thinking i'm just being lazy. It's tough. I know this post is on the negative side. But I just can't seem to get that first foot out there.

Thank you, @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member. I may take you up on your offer.

Brain Pressure

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Wausau, WI

Has anyone here ever had days or times when your brain feels swollen? Not a headache, not sinus pressure, but brain pressure. I feel this occasionally, usually followed by ear ringing (tinnitus), some times this is a precursor to a seizure and/or migraine.
Am I going crazy?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

That’s when the word airhead came to mind because that’s the way it truly felt.
