hi i got epilepsy about 2 yrs ago when my dad died, n i find that keeping yr mind busy works well .stop yrself from staring, try not to think to much about 1thing for too long, im a window cleaner i have 1fit a month but every time i do its at home n i think its cos my mind is too active on other things.1 more thing if anyone who is with u sees u going into a fit, shouts yr name n poke or prods u will possibly bring u bk out of it, tried and works well
