Feeling Very Depressed After an Epileptic Seizure a Few Days Ago

SJH1994

So I was diagnosed with epilepsy nine years ago now, due to a build up of things on my mind recently, I had a fairly big seizure in the early hours of Friday morning. Although it was three days ago, I'm at that point now where although I don't feel ill, I still don't feel myself, ie everything doesn't feel quite "right", and I also feel very depressed. I know epilepsy is quite commonly paired with autism, I was just wondering if anyone else who has epilepsy ever feels the same after experiencing a seizure.

  • Hi 

    That sounds really tough.

    My husband has epilepsy, and he often feels out of sorts for a few days after a seizure too.

    It seems quite common to feel low or not quite yourself afterwards, it’s a lot for your body to recover from.

    I hope you start to feel more like yourself again soon.

    Take it easy for a bit if you can, your body needs rest.

    Hi Lonehare12

    Thank you, I seem to gradually be feeling slightly better bit by bit each day, but not quite there yet.

    If you don't mind me asking, was your husband diagnosed with epilepsy later in life or early on in childhood? I developed it nine years ago in my early 20s, but this was my first bigger seizure in almost exactly four years
