Bizarre question: This is a truly bizarre question. I can't imagine what you could possibly mean by saying you "want" to have a seizure. Perhaps you don't understand what a seizure is. I'm guessing you have severe anxiety and have somehow gotten the mistaken (very mistaken) notion that a seizure would relieve it. See a psychologist or psychiatrist to get proper treatment (including psychotherapy) for your anxiety.
