I'm new here, so please forgive me if this is not posted in the right place or if this question is out of place.
I've not been diagnosed with epilepsy, however, a doctor told me about 5 years ago in 2012, that he thought I may have it. I didn't think much about it because two other doctors said that they didn't think I did. So, recently I stumbled across a post on another site, about someone having absence seizures and I felt that what they were talking about was very similar to my experiences.
I've seen a couple of videos on YouTube of people have these types of seizures and I really think I've had some, based on what a friend has told me.
So my question is, can someone have this type of seizure and start talking to themselves? Like completely lose awareness of everything around them, and began vocalizing their thoughts?
The reason I'm asking this is because about two years after the doctor told me that he thought I had epilepsy, I was in class one day, and the professor was looking in my direction and asked if I was okay. I looked around to make sure he was talking to me and I nodded my head yes. He asked if I was sure and if I needed to leave. I didn't leave, but I was kind of confused as to what had just happened. The class was quiet and there was a weird energy in the room. It was all just very strange, as I had just been sitting there in class, listening to the lecture. Or at least I thought I had. And then I thought to myself "did I just say that out loud?" ('that' being my thoughts). Around this time in my life, I was having frequent flashbacks to sexual abuse that occurred when I was a child. So now I'm panicking wondering if I may have said or done something completely embarrassing. I also remember the professor making a seemingly random comment one day, although I cannot remember if it was the same day as this incident or another day.
