Mine I can only describe with a feeling of just not feeling all there.... kind of like im "spacing out". I get the feeling of sadness, and the last time I had a seizure, it involved me getting numbness on my left side of my body. Starting in my hands and feet, working its way up my left side of my body to my face and head. Thats when my seizures begin with jerking on my right side of my body.

Hi, I get a strong sense of fear or dread just before a fit- my fits are nocturnal (when ever I try to sleep, 30-60 mins after dosing) be they night in bed or day time on the sofa. I remain aware throughout the seizure - they are brief, lasting a second or so,

I feel much too warm, very suddenly. If there is noise or light around, I need it stop NOW. A strange sensation in my right arm--not burning or tingling or prickling, but something else that I don't have a word for. If it spreads up to my head, I'm in for a complex partial.

it's hard to describe until I get them
but I had some today, that have been recurring throughout today, that are a common type.

today I've had feelings (that are common) like my memory bank gets entirely jumbled

put very simply, for example, my mental banks
red:round:apple
long:yellow:banana
round:furry:kiwi

starts becoming something like red:kiwi:long, banana:furry:apple, etc

but it'll happen with the current instances, and with far far complex concepts and occurrences
and often it will involve something current - which is how I can relate the typical "deja vu" descriptions
and it's like a lot of the overall concepts of things get broken down and blurred - and it seems like the concepts become more and more complex and varied, which feels like a bottoming-out freefall of sorts

if it happens quickly enough this may dip right into a tonic-clonic, but overall I'm not really sure how I go from pre-seizure to post-seizure on a mental and awareness level - at least not that I can recall now

I get a 'rising' sensation that goes all the way up to my head, and I say to myself 'just breathe, it's cool, it'll be ok' etc, like I'm trying to reassure myself. This only lasts for a few seconds, then the lights go out.
