I understand but when I was having my convulsive focal seizures I wasn't sad. I was really pizzed off. Being sad or pizzed does not really help. You need to learn to deal and live with your epilepsy. Seizures are spaces in time. I will live my life the way I want. I live each day as if it might be my last. Can anyone garuntee they will not get hit by a car tomorrow. Or a tree falling on them? What about tripping on the curb. Dweal with what you can do and not what you can't see tomorrow is another day and who knows they have made many advances in the last 25 years tomorrow they have have something new on the horizion that will treat us.... I hope you get the assistance you need
