From what I know...

Yes, hormonal changes can trigger seizures though it doesn't happen all the time. Any kind of hormonal influx can be a trigger from a period to orgasm or anything in between.

If you find yourself getting stressed out and know that is a trigger then try square breathing...you inhale and count to four (in your head) then exhale to the count of four...then inhale to four and exhale to four. Do this as long as it takes for you to calm down.

If the people you love and that love you know that you have an issue, then they probably don't feel like it's a burden to take care of you and watch over you when you have a seizure.

As for being embarrassed...don't worry about it...we all do things when we are in a concsious state that are probably a lot more mortifying than what happens when you seize...embarrassment is a state of mind, you can't help what's happening so embrace it until you get through it...then get past it...

Make sure you take your meds and take them at the same time every day and watch your diet...
