I'm starting to think I never really grew out of epilepsy. I think I just willed myself out of it, and lately I've been stressed the fuck out and it's all unravelling. I think my epilepsy is starting to come back. I could be wrong.

a complex partial seizure may involve the unconscious repetition of simple actions, gestures or verbal utterances, or simply a blank stare and apparent unawareness of the occurrence of the seizure, followed by no memory of the seizure. Other patients may report a feeling of tunnel vision or dissociation, which represents a diminishment of awareness without full loss of consciousness. Still other patients can perform complicated actions, such as travel or shopping, while in the midst of a complex partial seizure.

Absence seizures (sometimes referred to as petit mal seizures) involve an interruption to consciousness where the person experiencing the seizure seems to become vacant and unresponsive for a short period of time (usually up to 30 seconds). Slight muscle twitching may occur.

I've had these symptoms for pretty much as far as I can remember; but that's not saying much because my memory is questionable at best.
I hope I'm just a space-case.
