I'm 24 and I've had seizure

I'm 24 and I've had seizure auras for years but I never knew they were related to seizures. I would just get these feelings of extreme dejavu, get very hot/sweaty, and just feel plain sick. They would pass pretty quick though and I never knew what to do about them. Sometimes I would get multiple all week and sometimes I'd go months without any at all. I had my first full blown seizure Jan 2016 where I woke up in the hospital. In massive pain, disorientated, and sick. I have now had almost 15 full blown seizures since. They all vary in how much they mess me up. Waking up in a hospital becoming pretty normal for me.  Lots of times after my seizures I feel very emotional or depressed. My appetite completely gone. Food I thought was delicious 2 nights before I can't even attempt to eat. I just don't feel myself after most seizures for up to a week. It can be very scary not feeling like you have control over your state of mind.

Mine are 99.9% nocturnal or during sleep! But the worst/most uncomfortable emotion is that 'impending doom' or like something's gonna happen feeling afterwards!! (having to keep taking deep breaths)... Physically the bitten tongue or/and lip's obv' another sign etc, but cheers for comments as can relate to LOTS & this place is FAR more helpful/empathetic than my 'Neuro' TBF
