Do I Have Epilepsy?! Please respond!

I know little about epilepsy but I looked up what I've been experiencing and epilepsy keeps appearing. I have had two bad episodes which I was alone in one, the other i passed out after shaking and making noises at my friend's. I haven't seen a doctor yet. I have also had episodes that weren't as bad but I get very scared, confused, hallucinate,jerk my arm, sometimes remove clothing and stare. I remember very little of them but I remember some the beginning of some episodes and everything was spinning. Shimmering lights, my vision got blurry and everything doubled. I was disoriented and unable to speak after it was over. I've been having mini episodes ALOT and I've been woken to myself kicking the air. I have been experiencing extreme confusion, disorientation, depression, pins and needles, numbness, extreme anxiety and I feel like I'm screwed. Can someone experienced shed some light?
