Most of my bad ones happen when I'm alone.
Partials tend to occur more when people are around, but rarely ever progress and normally nobody even notices.
 
I'm the same as Silat. Only my immediate family really recognize when i have a partial in their presence. Tonic clonics tend to be at night time when i'm in my flat on my own.
 
id say 50/50 for me, i live in social lil town where everything is walking distance for me, I'm pretty socially active myself so some have been in public and some have been at home but the list of places and circumstances I've had seizures is as broad as it is long.
 
Alot of my auras & complex partial seizures happened when I was either home on my own or when I was staying at my parents place.
But I used to also take a few auras & partials when I was walking down the street or doing voluntary work at the charity shop. I think most people wouldn't have noticed if I had an aura, but I had told my boss at the charity shop what happens when I have a seizure so he was usually able to tell when I was having an aura or complex partial.

well my tonic-clonics usually happen first thing in the morning and it depends on if my boyfriend has left for work yet and my partials happen at night so Im mostly with my boyfriend ....
I once stayed at my best friends house and had a partial which led to a tonic-clonic i woke the next morning and i was no longer in the spare room ..... I was only in his bed ....half dressed .... I was mortified but now he's learnt about my seizures we can laugh about it now ha ha!!! it was his first tonic-clonic he had seen so must have scared him silly :(

But thankfully my bad ones Im 70% of the time got someone :)
 
50/50. All tonic-clonics, about half in public.
 
Unfourtanly most of the seizures that I have I don't know I've had it unless there is someone there to see me have it. Usually when I have a seizure I'll end up with a horrible headache so if I'm alone and have that headache then I think I've probably had one.

I have started having seizures that I know I'm having but I don't realize that I've had it until I come out of it. I'll be having alot of trouble doing things, espically if I'm writing something or trying to concentrate on something. Alot of the time too however I don't know I've had those unless there is someone to see me have it either.

I've also started having little seizures where I don't feel right. Dizzy like my head is spinning and other little types of other things, I'm sure alot of you know what I mean by that.
 
I think most of mine are at home. But not necessarily alone because my husband is sometimes in the room with me. I think being sleepy may be a trigger for me, so things tend to happen in the hour or two before I go to bed.

I also will get some while riding on the bus or walking the short distance from the bus to my home.

I tend not to get many at work.

I am kind of guessing here since I am just know starting my seizure diary.

Maybe I get more at work than I am aware of.
 
i've had more when i'm at home but have had some when i was i public, one of which i was at work and got sent to A&E
 
I'll have simple partials anywhere and everywhere. One SP I have jumbles up the words in my internal monologue so it’s really tough when having one on one conversations. Luckily my meds help keep that particular one at bay. I had one TC at work and the rest have been in the comfort of my own home.
 
I've had many CP's at home & in public, also several TC's in public where the folks have called 911.
 
I usually have mine when I'm alone. I hate being alone because I get bored. My seizures mostly begin with the deja vu aura so it's easier for me to get a seizure when I'm by myself because I have no distractions. I can see anything and for some reason when I'm sensitive towards having a seizure it sets off that deja vu feeling as though this thing is familiar. Then my stomach knots up and then I'll go into a seizure. So being out in public or around people really help me not to have seizures.
 
50/50 for my tcs, complex partials I have more at home. When I have complex partials my legs become really weak and I can't walk properly. When it occurs in public it starts with me dragging my left foot and progresses to bent knees and bent hips and not much balance. At home I'll notice it coming when I'm lying down. It once got so bad I could only get around by sitting on the floor and dragging my self backwards with my arms.
Simple partials happen everywhere.
