i recently had my first generalized seizure and once i knew and talked with doctors who confirmed it as primarily TLE i realized i had been having focal seizures for years.

i think i may have a similar feeling in long meetings/conversations too. it's like i am forced to stop paying attention for several seconds. i can generally even notice that i am not paying attention, but I am unable to focus even if i try. i think i've noticed it tends to be worse if there are lots of people talking. it feels a lot like dissociation. perhaps it is an 'aura', some sort of absence seizure...
