Living with someone Bipolar

[trinity68]

Hi there Ive had epilepsy my whole life. A person Im with that has bipolar sometimes makes my seizures worse. She gets mantic when things happen like family issues stress etc. Well she then sets my seizuers off. Like at times which I never had was a grandmal seizuer all from her. What do you do when stress is involved with your seizures.

Hi there, a lot of people tell us that stress can be a trigger for seizures. And it can be one that's tricky to manage.

We have some information about the relationship between epilepsy and stress and  suggestions to help to manage stress on the website which might be helpful: epilepsy.org.uk/living/dail...

And you can talk things through with us at the Helpline if you think this could help on 0808 800 5050 or livechat ((epilepsy.org.uk/support-for...

It can be really helpful to share support and information so I hope you hear from others here. You might be interested to know we have other online services as well.
