It does sound as though there is a link between your seizures and your boyfriend's downward spiral.

Unfortunately, you haven't met with a professional yet, who could discuss your diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis with you two. That would probably relieve a lot of the stress that you find yourselves battling right now. People often require some time to get control over the seizures. But it sure would help you both to understand your particular situation.

Then, it would be something tangible. Rather than a big fuzzy danger. It is scary ~ and it is stressful. Those are facts. Of course, different people deal with their stress differently. It sounds like he wants you. Like you're a stress reliever for him (normally). But, right now, feels ambiguous to him. He's worried about you, and it stresses him out. And those normal stress relievers aren't working like they used to, because this situation is so different.

The more I talk about it, the more I think that's what the problem is. How much longer before you see that neuro? I don't remember. Is there any way that you can get that date pushed up?? Perhaps you could explain to the receptionist that you're very anxious to find some answers and really need to see the neuro asap. Hopefully, they'll find a quicker time that works for you.

Try to get your boyfriend to come with to the appointment with you. That way, he's getting all of the information first-hand, just like you, and is then able to ask whatever Q's are on his mind. I think that would be the best advice I could give.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. This really is a difficult time in E. Hopefully, finding the right treatment will be much easier!
