We all have different types and issures. I'm not denying that. I'm only saying that in my opinion there are two types of frustrations. One is from the physical part (biting tounge, injuries from seizures, etc) and the other is more of the emotional part (loss of control, dealing with others reactions). Neither will be the same for any people but I don't think the emotional frustration really depends on the type of seizure. Just my opinion. I know some of you don't agree but milder seizures can be frustrating also. It's like if you can see a seizure, people will understand that it is frustrating. If you can't see it, then people seem to think it never affects us.
