Some times I think that I got lucky!

Stress... Its a strange thing!

Because of my past, when im stressed I have a seizure. Its quite simple, starts in the night usually but if it starts in the day I can fight it untill im somewhere safe. Its pretty easy for me.
When I look at others, dealing with stress is a very serious issue.

Some people exercise... they get adicted to endorphines....been there done that....not too bad an addiction if kept in check.

Some people smoke, a known stress level raiser and also highly addictive, with very bad side effects and complications.

Some people drink, similar out comes to smoking. Ive tried drinking, it doesnt help.

Some people do drugs, many start on soft drugs and turn to hard as the stress doesnt get any better, they also have the added problems of addiction and the physical ravages that ensue.  So not a good option either.

Im not trying to be holier than thou, but in my time ive been addicted to prescription meds (thanks doc), tried a small ammount of soft drugs (but never for escapism reasons), drunk heavily (because I could and to have fun) and done the exercise bit (untill over exercise and undereating got in the way).

My point is, even though I have a none addictive personality, looking back on things I do think my seizures are the best form of stress relief that I have ever had. They are non addictive, dont ruin other peoples lives, non voilent, dont steal, dont cause cancer, heart problems etc...

So sometimes bad things can be a blessing.
