Stress and Anger.. Cause Seizure??

Tue, 06/12/2007 - 08:12
I'm really angry at my mom cuz my family was away for about 2 in a half days so now they came back and she's really getting on my nerves. She keeps nagging and making a big deal out of nothing. To make things worse, my relitives are coming over after their dinner to do I dunno what. I loath these particular relitives a lot. So, I was wondering if anger can cause seizures? I have complex absence, absence and some other kind of seizures. Also, some of my textbooks ae here so I'm sorta starting school. So, I'm now under a bit of stress because of that. So I was also wondering if stress can cause seizures? I have been having a bit more seizures per month than I used to and I don't know why. I dislike scaring my friends and stuff. ~Sophs

I think it can because the only Gm szr i ever had in the day was when i caught my ex cheating on me (plus i was stressing about it before) n i started cursing and really working myself up n then the next thing i know i'm waking up in the E.R the next day. About the relatives n ur mom, you could try this; totally engulf yourself in work and studies in your room and stay out of their way, eat quickly at dinner then go to "sleep" lol. just a suggestion!
