Comparing episodes and symptoms
Tue, 10/13/2015 - 20:16I am a 26 year old male , and was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child. When I was a child I would only get them while I was sleeping. So I would barely remember them.But when I got into my teen years I started having them while I was awake and would be conscious for what I feel like was an epileptic episode . My symptoms would be feeling like I was doing something bad and that I was about to be punished for what I was doing. And feeling like I had lived that moment before and I was about to be condemned . I would also feel like something was coming right at me and that I was doing the same thing over and over again. So naturally my heart would start racing and I would feel like I need to run away. Which after the episodes it would take me weeks to feel confident enough to get back into my daily routines because I constantly felt like the next move I made I was going to be doomed. I just want to really know if anyone has ever experienced anything like this.
