If stress causes my seizures, why do they continue when not stressed?

Hi @baa
I am praying for you, crossing my fingers that very soon you will be called to the Vanderbilt Epilepsy Monitoring Unit.
Meanwhile, try to enjoy life and the present moment, though I know how hard this could be. When we get anxious about something, it usually does not help. It seems, according to my life experiences, that me more anxious we get about something, it somehow blocks energy, and things do not happen.
No creating expectations in your situation can be quite hard. In difficult times during my epilepsy journey, my yoga teacher gave me a daily exercise, which helped me quite a lot, something I try to keep daily up to today. She said to think about three contentments at the end of the day. At first, I could only celebrate having no seizures during the day, but little by little, I could see other contentments in my day. It is an exercise that helps us see the glass half full instead of half empty and celebrate what we have in the present moment, instead of thinking about what we do not have and wish to happen. Give it a try!
Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Hi @baa
A very good morning to you.
Stress is known to be one of the major triggers to seizures. Perhaps you continue to have seizures for different reasons: medications and other seizure triggers. What is again your type of epilepsy? I ask that because there are some types of epilepsy that have a higher rate of being refractory (drugs do not control 100% of the seizures), like Temporal Lobe Epilepsy with Mesial Sclerosis (the one I have).
Have you been sleeping well? Sleep is another very common trigger of seizures. For some people heat can also be a trigger and I know it has been pretty warm over there.
Learning about my triggers has helped me a lot to manage and avoid my seizures. I recommend the book "Taking Control of your Seizures". Here are two links with more information on this book:

Wishing you a good day!

@santosha Does the book "Taking Control of your Seizures" Talk to just "grand Mal" seizures or partial onset as well?

Good Morning
My understanding is that this approach is for every type of seizure!
