A lot of the time I can't stop thinking about my epilepsy. I feel like I am trapped. It makes me very sad. Especially on days that I am having a lot of auras. Whenever I get a thought about my epilepsy I say to myself , it's just a thought I don't need to think about it. Then I do do some deep breathing. When I breath in I think of a word that will calm me. I do the same when I breath out but I think of a different word. When you are deep breathing to calm yourself you could just think of one calming word or image. This is a very Buddhist way of calming down, and it really helps.

Bean,thanks for the heads up on the blog, I enjoyed talking to you. I am sorry you feel trapped, perhaps when you start the new school, you will find new interests and friends and you will feel better about everything.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you, Bean. I'm glad to see a new post from you, though I'm sorry you've been having a rough time. It sounds like you're working on a form of meditation. I can't imagine a better way to manage something stressful.
