Anyone Else Have Something Like An Out-of-body Experience When They're Siezing?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Like you can see what's going on or even experience portions of it but have no control at the same time? This is difficult to explain.

Yes, this is a weird feeling. I can hear and see what is happening but I don't have control over my actions and my speech is not appropriate. I know it's a siezure and try to walk away to my safe zones but I am not able???
This week I learned I cannot cry. I have tried but no tears. MD said from scar tissue caused from Traumatic Brain Injury. WEIRD BRAIN!

I haven’t . But I have heard of people experiencing an OBE, during the seizure.

Yes, usually that’s the last thing I remember and then when I come out of it and my wife says, “welcome back”.

Having had seizures when I was a young and as a nurse, I’ve found that to be almost a given when people describe their seizures
