Top Comment: Before a seizure you feel like something in the world is wrong. After that I have few seconds to find a good spot where I don't hurt myself during convulsion. Next thing I know is people telling me I had a seizure and I'm just laughing like no I didn't.
What happens during a seizure and what do people feel?

Top Comment: There are a lot of different types of seizures. I had epilepsy and during a seizure, I would laugh & fall down but not remember it. I now have a different seizure disorder and have a more stereotypical seizure when I shake/jerk/“seize”. And honestly, it’s terrifying. Everyone experiences their seizures differently. I can confidently say that despite that, having a seizure is scary. You have no control of your body and the sensations that you can feel can be scary. I feel like I’m falling through the air. And even though in my mind I know that’s not happening, the fear is still there. A seizure is something that most people will never experience, and those people are lucky. As many seizures as I’ve had, every is just as scary as another.

If you are a person who has gone through a seizure before, what do you experience while in the midst of it?
Main Post:
Are you aware of your surroundings? Or is it more like blacking out and then waking up? I’ve always wondered but been too afraid to ask.
Top Comment: It depends on how severe the seizure is. If it is bad, it is a complete blackout. If I have a tiny bit of consciousness, I can feel myself thrash and I hear a repetative squeezing sound which I don't know where it is from. I had a hallucination that someone was with me when in reality no one was there. It was something benevolent. If your conscious you can barely register anything. One time I was pretty conscious so I was able to walk up to my mom and hug her when I was in the middle of an absence seizure.
