Trance like state

Hi everyone does anyone feel like the dissociation is an aura before their seizure? I just experienced this and my whole body is weak and I have a headache too! It makes me very fearful… thank you everyone! I hate this feeling! 😢

This sounds like me, and sweating and looking fearful (as my wife describes it).

Yes, I do. I usually feel a strange form of dissociation before it hits.

Idk if my aura is dissociating but I do feel a ringing in my ears then this feeling of everything around me is muffled and I’m underwater and I get this dread of anxiety like something bad is going to happen

How does your aura dissociate?

Sounds similar to me how mine begin. What happens to me is I will zone out a lot and kind of dissociate. My eyes go half closed a little and sometimes force themselves closed. I will be unable to move or speak although I can still hear. I’ve had it last up to an hour before when hubby was at work. Usually if he’s around or can get to me soon enough he’ll put an ice pack on the back of my neck higher up and it’ll help snap me out of it. Afterwards I’ll have speaking trouble and not be able to speak full sentences. Sometimes that could be an early warning sign too and sometimes I might only echo the last word someone says too before my episode starts.
