Have you experienced emotional challenges associated with epilepsy?

@jakedduck1 I wanted to ask after my seizure or even before it when i know a seizure is coming, is it normal to feel nervous and anxious. Almost like your scared but you actually aren't scared because your use to having seizure and you've accepted them?.

Yes, it is quite common. Nervousness, and anxiety can happen before during and after a seizure. Have you ever felt or expressed anger? Do you experience auras or perhaps a prodome
Are you having focal impaired seizures? Have you been diagnosed with TLE (temporal lobe epilepsy??)
How long does the nervousness and anxiety last?. Have your doctors pinpointed where your seizures begin? Have you ever had a prodome, a warning that may happen right before a seizure or even. days before. If someone has a prodome just prior to a seizure I'm not sure how doctors differentiate that from an aura unless it's the type of symptoms themselves, but that's just a guess..
In my opinion you're fortunate to have these warnings prior to a seizure. I never had any warnings of any type, Just down-n-out.
Take care,
Jake
