“aura” rings very true for me, I can feel it coming on 5-30 seconds before it hits hard.

I especially struggle, not necessarily to the point of seizure but at least increased brain activity, with social situations with too many inputs when I can’t decide which input to focus on.

I had nocturnal childhood epilepsy and, thankfully, I grew out of it.

I would have an “aura” before going to bed that I would be having a seizure that night.

Thankfully, I never had a daytime seizure.

i have the same troubles in social situations with too many inputs. i am quite frankly asocial because of it, though i don't necessarily want to be. do you mind if i ask what your reaction feels like? my reaction feels a lot like dissociation, but it also could be absence seizure. it is hard to introspect in those moments.
