I would say a helpful tip is to keep some sort of a log of your seizures so then they can be more predictable. So it can be like this, but it doesn't have to be. For me, I don't know why, but I usually have seizures on Fridays and it's quite weird. I mean, not always, it doesn't mean I don't have them all the days, but just when I know that it might happen, then I'm more conscious and I don't do things that might get me in a dangerous situation. So let's say I don't go outside by myself. You know, just keep a log that's helpful. What happened during the seizure, how do you feel, all that stuff.

I think a very helpful tip is to educate others, like your closest friends, family, maybe teachers, like educate them about your seizures, not just like, oh people have seizures, no, tell them exactly what to do when you have a seizure, tell them what not to do. I did it because I'm in high school and I send a long, long message to my every single teacher and when I had a seizure, tonic-clonic seizure at school, they knew what to do and they weren't so scared. I wasn't so scared when I felt it coming, I just felt better because I knew they know what to do, so yeah, educate others.
