Emotion and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

I have temporal lobe epilepsy -- diagnosed at 19, though I've had it all my life.  I know that temporal lobe seizures can present differently than "typical" seizures -- mine can feel like panic attacks (sudden feeling of fear, detached, sights/sounds become much more acute and almost painful...), which in the past has led to misdiagnosis.  My seizures have been controlled for 5 years now.  Occasionally I have "break-through" seizures, though these tend to be small and related to some type of trigger (flashing lights, stress, lack of sleep, etc).  I am 32 and recently moved abroad.  

Since my seizures tend to be controlled I more or less don't have to think about them, though I've noticed a trend in my emotional level - and I'm beginning to wonder if it might in fact be related to a seizure.  At times, I react very strongly or emotionally to things that wouldn't normally bother me.  What I experience is an overwhelming amount of emotion - fear, sadness, anxiety, etc - and a lack of connection to the real world (similar to how I feel in a seizure).  I tend to be a rational person, and I've heard frequently from anyone who has experienced this with me that it surprises them; I elicit a much stronger reaction than a situation calls for.  This has happened occasionally for years, and I've always justified it to myself and the other person by saying that things have caught up with me, I'm tired, etc... Though whenever this happens, I've always experienced as an event -- something comes over me, I react in a mixture of tears, emotion, panic, etc, and then at some point I "come to", and when I connect back with reality I feel incredibly mortified. Internally I've always termed it my "dips" -- I'm not typically moody or volatile - though for what feels like no reason at all I'll suddenly "dip", and then for what feels like no reason at all I'll come back up again.   

I've recently connected the dots and thought that this might as well be related to a type of seizure.  This has happened occasionally for a long time, even though with being older I've generally become much better about handling stress, emotion, etc -- in other words, I've made vast improvements in my life in regards to my mental and emotional health (which has significantly decreased my overall seizures), though for some reason this seems to still happen. I have noticed that this tends to happen closer to my cycle each month.  It should be noted also that I typically have a lot of emotionality with my seizures -- in my complex partial seizures, for example, I tend to laugh hysterically then cry really hard afterward.   

I'm wondering if this perhaps is another type of seizure.  Has anybody with temporal lobe epilepsy experienced a seizure like this - overwhelming emotion that seems to come from outside yourself (i.e. doesn't relate at all to your normal times of feeling sad, etc)?  Thank you!
