Does anyone have some strong emotionally reactions after seizures? I didn't pay attention at first when I had seizures, I just assumed what I felt was just me. But I notice when my seizures occur in large clusters. Or I have a really long one I tend to eventually get to a point where I get angry. Today was a very long day, and the seizures seemed to stretch on forever. So near late evening my seizure threshold must increase I think, because I won't have auras typically. I was post ictal, but as soon as I came around. I just turned into the hulk or something. I got so angry and I am really curious about this. Anyone have similar experiences?
 
Yes, either right before or after I will go into a rage sometimes. I think it is because the feeling of losing control which is fustrating at times.
 
Interesting, no I kind of turn into a little girl. When I finally come to enough to comprehend, I usually curse, turn my head and pout before falling asleep again. I am quiet and almost shy. I act like my daughter when she's tired. I dont' get angry until I've slept the day away.
 
For me, I remember getting really scared before a seizure came on, thats when I would get the aura before the seizure. But there were times I wouldnt get the aura and not know the seizure was going to happen, only to come to after the seizure was over, and start crying. I felt bad, angry and horriable that another seizure happened. Last year during my VEEG, before the seizure came on, I had a aura, that has the feeling of fear and sadness... that there told me something was about to happen... seconds later the seizure came on. So I think its totally normal to have a bunch of different emotions after the seizure is over.
