Seizures are going to happen.
There are exceptions to this rule. It’s possible to have a single seizure in your life, none after that. Some people outgrow their seizures. Finding the right medications or surgery can prevent them from happening in the future. But again, these are the exceptions.
Seizures are going to happen.
But you don’t know when. It might be a minute from now, an hour, a day, a year… even when I was in the hospital, they took me off my meds, then went through sleep deprivation, there was never a guarantee about when I might have a seizure (or the type of seizure it might be when it did eventually happen).
And it’s important to take precautions to some degree. Don’t drive if your seizures cause you to lose consciousness. Take your prescribed medications. Tell people when they can do if you have a seizure (if you collapse, lay you on your side, keep things out of your mouth, etc.). Stay safe.
But don’t take safety to such an extreme degree that you forget to enjoy each day as it comes. There are places people live that can have natural disasters, but if there might be an earthquake, people don’t spend their days running from door frame to door frame. If there could be a tornado, people don’t live in tubs in the bathroom. If a hurricane might come one day, LEAVE FLORIDA NOW. Wait… no, the opposite of that. Don’t live in fear and suck all the joy out of life.
There’s no way to guarantee that bad things won’t happen and that’s fine. Bad things have happened in the past and they’ll happen in the future. You can learn from the past and plan for the future, but each day only happens once, so enjoy it while it’s here. Live for today.
