You can speak, holler, and move, just unaware. When I come me out, people tell me how I act and what I said.

Awareness for me during a seizure is being conscious of everything going on around me, except I cannot put thoughts together, therefore, I cannot talk.

When I have my small seizures I’m aware of what’s going On and can remember it all for days on ends.

One time I dug my nails into someone who went to turn off my car. My car was parked and hand brake on but my foot was on the accelerator I was fully UNAWARE . But I was FULLY AWARE a stranger tried to turn my car off reaching for the keys but I thought he was trying to steal my car .
I haven’t driven for years now and sold my car due to this , it scares the crap out of me

This exactly what I do during my seizures I am aware what is happening but unable talk or if I do trying to respond I am told I make weird hummiing noise. After the seizure is over. I can tell you almost everything that happen during my surrounding EMT’s doing their part and during the seizure itself. I can tell you every single detail of an auto accident I had two years ago. I even got a chance to explain the details to the state troopers the hospital Dr’s they all were creeped out by what I knew

My seizures are now called Impaired Awareness rather than Absence.

A minor seizure when they happened I would stop talking for a bit and stare. I might wake up and continue the conversation as if nothing happened. I have a horrible sense of direction anyway, but with a large one I could be extremely confused. I need to urinate. That is a form of stress, I guess.

I could need to sleep in order to recover, sometimes as long as 6 hours or so. Lack of good sleep is a trigger for me.
