Hello, I'm Maureen, and I'm grateful to have found this supportive community. I'm curious if anyone else out there suffers from epilepsy/seizure disorders (I've had seizures for about 13 years), and how/if this has impacted your anxiety. And, if anyone has suggestions re. specific coping mechanisms, I'd be grateful for your advice. (While I cope in ways that are most commonly associated with anxiety in general, I don't know of anything specific to epilepsy). Thank you in advance! Best, Maureen

Hi Maureen. I'm an unstable epileptic after a TBI I suffered some 20 yrs ago. My szs can be anything from a simple absence to a full blown tonic/Clonic & the "biggies" can be up to 6 pw with 8 partial seizures in between. I don't have a coping mechanism; more an acceptance of what I must live with. I'm thankful to have family near when I'm really out of it & need my es cue meds. But it doesn't help my depression which is severe & causing me some scary thoughts at the mo. I think it's sort of one day @ a time for me.
