Members opened up about how they experience seizure warnings, sharing that auras feel very different from person to person, ranging from a strong sense of deja vu and surreal feelings, to gut feelings of impending doom, hunger, headaches, or simply feeling 'weird' with no clear way to put it into words. Several members shared that they have no warning at all before their seizures, while others described recognizing patterns over time, like stress as a trigger or post-ictal exhaustion as a sign something happened. A recurring theme was the relief of finding others who understand how hard it is to describe these feelings, and the comfort of not feeling alone in the experience.
