Am I having simple partial seizures?

Sat, 08/25/2018 - 06:24
eveything started one year back when I had an odd experience where I felt like my brain has suddenly detached from my own body, I felt numb senseation and my heart rate started to increase knowing the fact that something is really wrong with me got me terrified! I felt like I lost control over my body, emotions and actions! I literally acted out of my usual self. before that happened, I went through an emotional trauma that left my heart really broken.. That night I was so down till I heared something is talking in my brain! I assumed it was god back then! It was more like thoughts without a voice are flowing inside my brain, I felt numb and my body relaxed and paied attention to the talk, that voicless thoughts assured me and calmed me down.. it wasn't my way of talking.. Not my style at all.. Afterward I woke up and I felt much better! These few days! I'm experienceing the same odd things by which the brain fog has occurrd to me twice in the last 10 days! And more recently am having sleep paralysis more frequently than usual like 3–4 times/week most of them are sexual though I've never had sex! and it's so terrifying like am being raped! I used to get them in the past in seprete occasions without any kind of hallucinations except for auditory ones!! not forget to mention the fact that I've been in an emotional trauma for the second time now too! I have a family history of epilepsy but as I can recall it's due to head injury! Would normal people experience such things? Is it my brain attempts to relieve my stress? Is it some sorta of epilepsy like simple partial seizure? Or Is it a psychiatric issue? i'm so confused

U need to talk to a doctor

U need to talk to a doctor about this. Especially if u have a family history of Epilepsy in your family (and make sure it was caused by a head trauma..) I had seizures for months until diagnosed. The doctor will have to run some tests if they think your symptoms are seizures. It can take months (multiple visits and tests). And it's more scary walking around having seizures not being diagnosed than knowing and treating them imo.
