Sometimes I feel like I don't know what's going on & can't concentrate, I feel like I might have a seizure. Usually I just watch tv or play games to ignore it. It works a little bit, but I still hate having the problem.

Definitely get that especially after having a seizure. I had a bigger one over a week ago (a couple small myoclonic ones since then but nothing bad) and I still feel so spacey. I will be doing something and then just stare off into space or just completely forgot what I was doing or saying. I’m the past, it’s usually gone away much faster so I’m hoping it will this time too. Like you I just try to ignore it. I also feel like I’m going to have a seizure sometimes but I wonder if it’s not just fear of having another one. I hope you feel better soon.

I start having funny scary feelings in my mind. They are like warnings that a seizure is going to start soon. I have to go sit down and either go to sleep or watch TV. Thanks!

When I watch a movie I sometimes get confused. I'm like, "what happened, what s going on?" I lost the plot.
When I read a book I usually have to go back and read the page before again. Makes life fun!
