Anxiety and Epilepsy

I am a 30 year old woman living with epilepsy. Recently I have had a few other health issues as a result of my epilepsy which has increased my anxiety. I have started going to therapy to help put things in perspective, but I thought I would reach out to people who can understand. I appreciate your feedback.

HI, I am new on here... I was just about to right my story about epilepsy and the anxiety I deal with daily because of it. I had my first seizure when I was 11. I was diagnosed with grand mal epilepsy. I have been seizure free for 3 years. But I do still struggle with the thought of having a seizure everyday. And it certainly restricts me from doing things. So you are not alone. I should say I am 37 now. I have two daughters and a good job. But I really push myself everyday to get through these feelings. I wish you luck xxxx
