Hi! I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 18, i had two grand mal seizures and was then put on 100mg of lamotrigine. Its now two years later and I haven’t had another, which I’m so thankful for. I know its unlikely I will have another seizure but I worry about it a lot and I’m paranoid that I will. The fear from my seizures has stayed with me but I don’t like to talk about it as I know I’m comparison to others I am so lucky. I am sure as time goes on ill feel better about it all but in a way because i am not having seizures i dont feel like i have the right to feel like this. I was wondering if others have similar feelings around this?❤️

FORUM
On our Instagram we have been allowing people to share their questions with the Epilepsy Positivity community, to gain answers from people with lived experience.
Building upon this, this page aims to create a more organised space for people affected by epilepsy to discuss their experiences and ask each other questions. We asked Instagram users in the Epilepsy Positivity community the broad topics they would like to be featured and these were the top six: seizures, treatments, mental health, social life, school/education and memory.
Note: the answers posted by users are most likely from experience and guidance should still be sought from professionals when necessary.
