Not necessarily an epilepsy question but could relate to epilepsy and I'm sure others with epilepsy may experience it. I just want to get others' experiences with dissociation. I started experiencing dissociation after a traumatic event and it's a little scary to say the least
So strange you wrote this, I just read earlier today about potictal seizures or something like that! And had another thing today at work where I started cutting chocolate out of the fabric- but in reality there was no chocolate. Strangely enough I thought I might've had an absent seizure I lost time of my day like I was staring off and couldn't hear anything wasn't responding (no one was talking to me so it's hard to judge it) but I didn't remember seeing our experiencing anything but when I came to the only way I knew something was up was when I heard a burst of noise from everyone talking (normal workday) it was unusually loud bc I wasn't hearing anything and I noticed I was staring at all. I've never had an absent as far as I know so it's very strange so this could be what's causing these behaviors as well. Might have to talk to my neuro I'm going to start a journal about sleep and activities and seizures to track it though.
I'm still so new to this. I spent many days in a catatonic like state staring at the ceiling early on. I could have moved but didn't. Then there is discussion about confusion post seizure. Perhaps writing stupid letters? My last four years have made no sense, seizures partials but maybe not as I live alone.
I've had the experience of waking up, While I was already awake. I'm a believe in God and ive experienced the spirit world since I was in 1st grade. The experiences are otherworldly. Was goethe or Leonard cohen who said "the cracks let the light it" 🙃
I've done had episodes like that, I would collapse /fall on the floor an when I pop out of an attack I would look around an say hmm nice 😎 house 🏠 where am I an I would tell my husband who are you an he 👦 would tell me he's my 👨 an I would tell him I don't have a 👨 an I don't know who I am an Im leaving. At times I would just catch an episode that I don't no anything or anyone an I would leave my house or where ever I at and I don't know anything
