I had my first seizure in 2015 then didn’t have one until 2020 I first had them in my sleep my last one in my sleep was April 22… then last week I had my first awake one an it has completely traumatised me I hope I don’t sound too dramatic for all you people who struggle daily, but this was something I never want to experience again I can’t stop thinking about it I was admitted to hospital an have recently been in touch with my gp regarding a new referral to Walton as I was referred elsewhere in the past. But I just need some tips and advice on how to overcome the anxiety side of it because I feel it’s making me ill thank you so much in advance!!

Hi Charlotte,
I’m so sorry to hear about what you’ve been going though because of your seizures 
Having your first seizure in the day time can be particularly scary and please don’t feel like you’re being dramatic because you’re not at all!
Would you mind dropping an e-mail over to helpline@youngepilepsy.org.uk ? You can literally copy and paste the message you’ve left here 
There are a few ways in which I believe we could offer you some support around accepting and overcoming anxiety around epilepsy, so it would be good to chat to you in more detail.
Thanks so much! Becca
