Why can't I tell when something is going wrong? Only after reflecting hours or days later might it seem I might have been acting strange.

Seizures can be very hard to pick up unless you have very obvious pre seizure auras. It can also be possible that you may have the pre seizure auras but don't know what to look for. I get them and know what to look for now, but it took me years to work it out.
