Hi,
i was diagnosed with petit mal when I was 7 (quick eye fluttering). When I was 19 I had my first tonic seizure (early stage of grand mal). Since then the petit mal has persisted and the bigger seizures have been in and out of my life as well. (i'm now 2. For me, they have always been brought on by lack of sleep, lack of food, stress and anxiety. Any kind of brain stimulation gets things moving in everyone's heads, and axiety and stress also do that. Anxiety puts your body in a "stressed" mode and for sure contributes to seizures. I had a baby 2 years ago and the stress and sleep deprivation from that caused some seizures for me. Your body has been going through immense changes over the last year, some that may be permanent. After I had my daughter, I developed post partum depression (which I didn't realize until 4 months later). I was very tired all the time, felt anxious and stressed and out of control of my feelings. This induced a seizure (which was how I figured out I was depressed). That's certainly not to say you're depressed, but it might want to be something to look into. When you feel the anxiety coming on, if it's possible, take some time for yourself, lying down, taking steady breaths, listening to soft music etc. I know from experience that when you feel anxious it's hard to unwind and get calmed down. But it's important to try, as I say...For me anxiety is seizure provoking.
Hope this helps and hasn't been discouraging.
