When my seizures got worse and my memory started to decline, my first reaction was to fight back. But honestly, that approach hurt me more than it helped. The harder I fought against the changes, the more painful they became to accept.
What really helped was learning to accept these changes instead of trying to continue with my life as it once was. That acceptance gave me a sense of peace and helped me find my smile again.
There's a principle in yoga called Ahimsa that was a true game-changer for me. It means "non-violence" or "non-harming"—including toward ourselves. I realized that trying to fight back was actually a form of violence against myself.
Please try to be as gentle as possible with yourself right now, especially while you're waiting to start treatment that will help you feel better.

@santosha I can understand that a calmer approach is the new treatment for my supposedly diagnosis as science will clear my next move. Rather theraphy or treatment that is the goal I need is to be able to change the game on waiting for the final results. I may have new evidence that calm me down just 12/11/2025 another deadly symptom arrive I dont have paid 24hr asssistance the Van Buren Housing situation oversees and was able to call EMS for care vital very vital. Once my results from my horomones I believe are in then they may be associatee with taking on too much. A lighter schedule could be made with the rest in the future right now just take meds and live thank you. I understand health I am from Michigan which is the most leading hospital so for Ohio Health to know HFHS perfect another relief very stressful trusting a Emergency Room Doctor so for the 4 time things have been corrected.

I was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy at age 78yrs!! I go to Mayo Clinic Phoenix. At first they thought it was Migraine Amnesia but the medication did not work and then after more tests it was Focal Epilepsy and it was two years ago this month I started taking Keppra and have Not had another Serizure. I see my Mayo Clinic Neurologist every 6 months.. He actually lowered my medication some which helped not being so tired. Mayo Clinic has been great for other medical issues I have. I feel very grateful.

Good Morning
I'm truly sorry you're going through this. I understand those memory gaps all too well – I experience them too, especially when my seizures aren't well-controlled. The good news is that once you begin working with a neurologist and find the right treatment, these gaps may improve. I'm hopeful that will be the case for you. 🙏
Can I ask – have you experienced any other episodes since June? And did the hospital prescribe any medication when you were discharged?
I'm hoping you'll get clear answers and a diagnosis soon.

I know my answer here may not fall under the specific conditions you show, but in general for all, the thing that has helped me the most is being less stressful and getting better sleep, although my sleep starts and stops twice a night. I'll take it though if it helps me from having a seizure.

@royanthony Getting rest just does not help before I sleep problems retaining my everyday so resting makes me forget mote I fill so behind anyway so Monday thru Friday busy. Saturday and Sunday I be with friends resting did not work so I just read thru the night just to be able to spell and read its helps me even if it took 3wks for a 399 page book I working with myself because I need to its vital in my society.
