StressFilter: I am an epileptic who experiences grand mal seizures. Ten days ago, I had 3 seizures within one day, and it seems like the cause was emotional stress.
I'm trying to work through something emotionally painful in my past, but when I start to move forward, I have a seizure. My question is this: how can I address something so painful without stressing myself out to the point of a seizure? [more inside]

Our cat just had a seizure about an hour ago scaring the almighty shit out of us. Spasms, frothing at the mouth, paddling paws and dilated pupils - not fun. While this appeared to be the first time it's happened, I remember being woken by similar noises a year ago but just dismissed it as chasing an insect / nightmares / high jinks. Anyway, I wonder if the feline friends on 'filter would care to share their experiences in this area
