      Loose it, and ignore it. Regret it and sleep it off.

      I become very irritable and snappy and self-isolate. I sort of experience Burnout Lite™ and it's hard to do much of anything without feeling absolutely exhausted. The stress also triggers my seizures.

      Go into a dark room, usually the bathroom, and sit on the floor with my shoes off. Sucking on ice also helps.
