- Hia, Just a little something different.
I have suffered with a problem for 11 years now and have finally just found out more about it.
I call it Deja vu brain blips.
I would love for all of you who suffer this to video response me with your experience and thoughts on it.
I dont think there is enough information on this and I assume there are loads of us out there living with it.
Here is a link you may find helpful.
ehealthforum.co...
On a lighter note.. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS, I NOW HAVE JUST OVER 4000.. And I am sincerely appreciative for every single one.
I suffer with this quite frequently. I had 8 of these Deja vu episodes in a single day last week. Its really difficult to explain to people who haven’t experienced just how awful it makes you feel.
However, it does make me feel much better knowing I’m not the only one who suffers with this!!!!
LCJR you know that this is epilepsy, right? Hope you have the chance to see a specialist to get this under control. If untreated the partial seizures (deja vus) can turn grand mal seizures.
This is happening to me again too
i’m 17 and this happens to me several times a day severely. but i had an eeg years ago and i had no seizures. the doctors are saying i have severe anxiety and dissociation but i can’t help but feel like smth is more wrong with me
angel 444 the doctors do the same thing to me as well! My ECG showed up normal but I still get these episodes frequently. It’s very worrying and I’m considering going to a private hospital for a second opinion.
LCJR same here!!! these episodes are legit so frightening. i am so sorry to hear that you are going through this man :(( i would totally recommend going to a private hospital or a different hospital to get another opinion. you deserve answers and freedom from your symptoms 💗
It's like a 2 minute horrible bad trip into your memories about things that never happened in your life but it feels like those things are in your head . When I have seizures I'm trying to remember this places and things its very hard because after the seizure all memories disappearing . I remember only that somebody is playing the piano I'm going down on stairs and sea and beach , and of course horrible freaky feeling like in horror movie .
Marta your description is so scary because of how familiar to me it is. I can be reading or watching television and every 5-30 seconds I’ll try to recall a certain word I read or hear as if it’s part of a phrase or quote or something I’m trying really hard to remember. But when I google the word or words not even google knows what my brain is thinking
I get a feeling before these "aura" start. even though they are horrible, I want it to happen. anyone else have this? I wish I could touch a person and give them a taste of this. it is so difficult to explain.
Marta I have exact the same thing, I sometimes can control this so it wouldn't start by trying to distract my thoughts, by looking to the different things or start speaking, but when it starts you usually see the same "story" which you can recall before it ends, you can tell everything what is going to happen in your head like what you gonna hear or see in your head but afterwards you never remember what you were thinking about, only very little or nothing at all.. usually you talk nonsense if you try to talk while seizure even if you think you speak normally.. I'm 19 right now and I have these seizures since 10years old and I've only fainted 4 times.. I had so many seizures which gives me strong headache, sometimes vomiting feeling and a strange feeling after it ends..
Laura Meska hi, Im trying to start controlling it but with no result . I cant , for me its better to just let it go . The worst thing is to get it in public place like shop or something . I remember I was working in the restaurant before, I was taking order and suddenly BOOM ! Customer was placing an order but I just walk away to toilet without saing anything .LOL
Dorian Farnham Yeah , thats the good thing . I also know maybe few seconds before it will happens. So when Im in a public place I have time to hide somewhere or sit down And act "Normal" . hahahaa yeah everything is fine with me ...I just have another biggest Bad Trip inside my head :)
This is exactly what I go through. I have been searching for similar people and descriptions for years. I have had these episodes 2-4+ times a year for the last 28 years. Usually starts when I am tired, or just waking up or when I am sick. It's really hard to describe because the most amazing and terrifying part of it, the deja vu stuff fades when it is over and you can't really put your finger on what you just experienced. It's amazing and horrible at the same time. Leaves me in a fog the rest of the day.
Same here. I forget everything that has happened once it’s over.. I know I was conscious and awake, but everything that was flashing through my mind, at what feels like a super high rate of speed and intensity, I have no memory of immediately afterward.
The deja vu moments are so scary it's like you've seen that moment in a dream, experienced it before or your minds playing tricks on you and you know feel as if everything that happens or is being said you already know its going to happen or be said. It brings a strong anxiety feeling on your stomach and heart and makes you sweat a lot more and breath heavier in the moment.
Exactly.
Yes and it’s also a feeling of euphoria that happens but the horrible feeling outweighs that
I go through this I can't believe so many people are going through this
Wow you literally described something that I have been struggling with but failing to understand or explain for about 2 years now. Incredible
This has been happening a lot lately, just yesterday this happed to me while I was at work, i could literally sense it coming my mind became foggy started sweating felt sick and it last for a few minutes but then disappears and I'm left with an awful feeling that i just cant explain
It's been 10 years since I first watched your video. The tears ran down my face because I thought it was just me. 10 years on......3x aneurysm surgery and the seizures still there. Completely changed my life and sometimes it's way to much. Your video alerted me to my problem and as a result I sought help. Consequently seeing you and taking advice from you probably saved my life. I hope you are well.
I hope you are doing well
@@salmonflavored Doing fine buddy. Can add diabetes to the list now though☹️
Oh my goodness, I just read your comment b'cos (like you said) I thought my seizures/de ja vu's/panic attacks horrible things only happened to me.
I wouldn't wish them on anyone but like you said, its reassuring to know im not the only one.
They're so hard to explain, & prob wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't for the 'fear' that literally swamps my body 😢
I can see you left your comment along time ago but even so have you been able to do anything to help you deal with them b'cos They're ruining my life.
The Gp's don't know what to say or do and I've been left to trying cope alone and in all honesty I don't know how much longer I can carry on, like I said their ruining my life.
No worries of you can't reply ~ I hope you're well none the less, Lots of Love,
Gem x
Mine feel like I'm remembering Im in a dream, oftentimes it feels like I'm with people that I don't know but during the episodes I know these people. It feels really really weird. Then I start puking...
same minus the puking. has this gotten better? have you found out/have been diagnosed with anything?
@Samhoffmanxo I'm having happen to me exactly what PanaSabroso decribed. Would you mind e-mailing me at minnesotamichael@comcast.net or telling me more about it here? Thanks.
Would you mind e-mailing me at minnesotamichael@comcast.net? The exact same has been happening to me! Or reply here if you prefer.
Same thing happens with me
Today 😭😭😭😭
Same exact thing with me but sometimes when I get the feeling I go into a actual seizure and start spazzing out
- I smell something burning or that isnt present
- stomach drops a lil
- i experience de ja vu for 1-3 seconds
- during the dejavu a memory plays out in my head that I have since either forgotten or it was just stored there / inaccessible
- then its over
- after its over I cannot remember the memory that plays out - I figure I can try to write it down but during all I can think to do is relax and let it pass.
-You explained this to my Tee
-no not tea
- to a T but a t shirt
- Not anybody’s Tee my tee
- I’m actually wearing a sweatshirt.
this is a seizure
same symptoms!!!!
Same with the smell. Mom thought I was crazy lol. Hate it because sometimes the smell is so off putting. Deja vu, seizures that go unnoticed, slurry speech, memory problems, uncontrolled mood swings.
Same symptoms exactly! I usually have a headache too and every once in awhile auras that blur my vision. These started a few years ago after a bad ear infection. The first night it was constant and it felt like waves. I could feel it coming and it scared me each time. It would roll over me, peak, then slowly start again. I fainted twice. One time I was standing and the next thing I know I am on the floor, waking up. My eyes were rolled to the right. The haven’t been as intense as that first time but they make me feel bad with a headache and messes up at least one day
im not embarrassed to say that i have been diagnosed with simple partial seizures. they did make life challenging but i learned a lot about myself conquering the effects it has on my mind and mood... and the memories they would flash into my head would inspire me for my artwork. I started getting them when i was 13, and haven't had one in a while because i am now on meds, but im proud to say they make me unique! :) lets stick together guys! haha
I was so scared it was just me...
Sometimes I feel like when I experience the deja vu, my anxiety rises and it FEELS like I’m literally PRESENT with whatever I’m feeling, it feels so REAL and those few seconds of pain, I’m like this is it maybe I’m dying 😭
ME TOO EXACTLY ITS SO SCARY AND THIS HAPPENS TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK
Same to me 🤕🤕🤕🤕 it was 2015 i had the first feeling of these stuffs and i was home alone i thought today is the day 🤒🤒🤒 no way out. I had no any idea of it but now let it come i lay down and watch all the stuffs happening just enjoying the show 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have exactly the same, and everything else does not feel real, it only does when i have a seizure
This has been happening to me for a couple years. I, too, feel I can "predict" what's about to happen or be said, but afterward can't recall anything that was said or the vivid "memory" I had. Mine are also on a monthly basis but last for several days. During this "phase," I feel anxious all the time. I found out this is Catamenial Epilepsy - seizures induced by hormone variance. The neurologist was clueless when I tried to describe these - my EEG was normal. I'm about to see an endocrinologist.
Hey I’ve been feeling the same way can u add me on messenger I would like to have someone to talk to about these experiences
@@mikelogden7040 I got relief from these a few years ago when my doctor put me on escitalopram, a med for anxiety. The episodes stopped after about 8 weeks and never came back!
@@57is57 That’s great I’m happy for u can u try and describe what the feeling was like and how your experiences went
This is 13 years old but omg this has just perfectly summed up what I’ve been trying to describe for ages!
I get these, mainly in the shower and I know it’s the same de ja vu story ever time but I really could tell you what it is. My stomach drops and I feel so sick and it’s like the story takes over my vision and makes everything go blank. I’m knackered for like 2 days after. It started happening 4ish years ago when I got punched and I fell and hit the back of my head. So not sure if that’s linked.
I sometimes have different kind of moments where I don’t get de ja vu but I blank and my body goes all stiff and I shake but I don’t really remember them. So odd but I’m so glad I’ve found this to word what I couldn’t
I’m sorry you have these. Yes head trauma can be a cause ansi believe it’s what started mine off. A Keto diet helps keep the symptoms at bay. What I find weird though is mine always happened on my period and disappeared when I was pregnant only to return a few month after. I hope you get the help you need. Drs don’t seem completely clued on this.
I HAVE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO HAS LITERALLY EXPLAINED A FEELING I GET EVERY SINGLE DAY. much happier person indeed
Very good, you nailed it on the head outstanding explanation of how you feel, that’s probably the hardest part when explaining to someone/doctor what the feelings are like.
I can relate 100%
Kinda like the feeling you get when you realize that you forgot to lock the door to the house.
Yess, I call them auras, I get them during a complex partial seizure with all the visual symptoms but then also without the visual symptoms. A very strong feeling of dread, extreme fear and sense of loneliness in it, a smell of something burning, able to comprehend if someone is talking to me but unable to respond as I’m feeling frozen in the emotion and the moment. I get in twice on a same day usually, and it spreads to another 2 days in a lighter format but still quiet strong dominating my thought and emotion making me feel foggy and quiet anxious. Thank you so much for sharing your story, you’re not the only one as you can see.
I get this. It feels like impending doom, like I’m about to die
I have this exact same thing I went to the doctor and they told me there were panic attacks and put me on Zoloft which did make them go away. The way you described the episodes is EXACTLY how I used to get them I even called it "Deja Vu"!!! you are not alone!!! My stomach started to hurt watching this video because I have never heard someone explain exactly what I've been through in my own words!
I had this about 30 minutes ago, everything is normal then bam out of nowhere deja Vu, I zone out, I start feeling sick, body heats up so I start sweating, I struggle breathing and everything around me stops but after it I don't remember much what happened. I've been having it for the past 2 years on and off and I kinda like the sudden high feeling of it, it's normally triggered by bright green or a past dream I've had. I don't know if to seek help or not because I don't think it's serious enough...
Get your general practitioner doctor to refer you to a neurologist. Get OK with your insurance company before going so they will pay for it.
Sounds like Simple Partial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. My advice would be to go and get an EEG asap.
Me, too, I find the experience of it rather interesting. It always blows out my recent memory for awhile, usually takes several hours to remember what I was doing. Have not figured out what the triggers are, except I do get them if I am really tired and have not slept much.
My neurologist ordered a mess of tests that I took in the hospital setting. At the conclusion of my recent history, then, about 2 years ago, he told me, "Don't know if it is seizure related or migraine related.", since I have suffered migraines for years prior to these "partial onset seizures" . He gave me Keppra 250 mg, one tablet, every 12 hours seems to control it most of the time. He did not restrict me driving my car or truck which I think is rather odd. I don't drive much anymore---don't want to kill somebody!
Has anybody had these while driving?
DieHard10901 my gf gets this all the time while driving and just last week had her first grand mal seizure.
Kurt Ford - you are describing classic pre-seizure aura. You need to see a seizure specialist.
I get deja reve during mine. Which is like deja vu, but with dreams instead of actual events. It really seems like I'm remembering an actual dream but I'm not sure if I really am. After it ends, I can't remember what the dream was. I just always remember thinking that it was fairly mundane, but it still feels incredibly intense. It's such a crazy sensation, like you're on drugs, a bad trip. I haven't had one in two years so maybe I've grown out of them? I'm 33, and they started when I was 14. The biggest triggers were the sun and computer screens. As I got older, they became more random without any identifiable trigger. I still often get these moments when I feel like one is about to start, but it doesn't. It also makes me feel like I'm going to vomit, but I rarely do. Has anyone else vomited because of one? I also think they have destroyed my memory, and the damage has attributed to my anxiety disorder but that's all speculation.
Yes I believe they’ve destroyed my memory. It’s funny you say that but I felt quite behind in learning too after all this happened. Mine started at 14 and went at 33 how odd? I hope you are feeling better these days?
Yes and since I have been taking keprra 750mg and four 100 mg phenytoin ex caps it helped me out a ton and I was just taking the phenytoin and I would have seizures about once every three months but since I been taking keprra it works wonders because I will only have a seizure about once every 6-9 mouths now and your body gets better quicker when taking them. Ask your dr about this because I know the pain you been going through
@@panacea81 I made a comment on this page about three years ago when I was just taking phenytoin to help my seizures and it would take my body a month to get to normal and since they added the keppra my body feels better sooner and I don't have seizures now but only like once every 6-9 months and it helps you out big time with the throw up feeling and making food taste good again sooner
Hey can u add me on messenger I need to talk to someone with the experience
Yours is bang on like mine too Keppra helped massively I hadn’t had any DEJAVU until now cuz I tried to wean off and it’s been nearly 4 days then it hit again which sucks thought I was in the clear but I guess just gotta stick to keppra
Thank you so much for your honesty.This has happened to me since I was a child. I always dread it happening and can feel it coming but am powerless to stop it as everything I do feels like its been premeditated and is an inevitable part of what is coming. My stomach feels sick and the blood rushes and pounds in my ears. It'll pass in a minute or so but leaves me feeling very disorientated and I find it hard to focus. Sleep usually helps if I can, when I awake I feel better, but there's no knowing when it'll strike again because it can happen any time. Hearing you say the words I havent been able to get out ( I had no idea how to describe it to anyone) is such a relief. Now I can explain it better to my partner etc. You're a star for sharing your experiences.
UPDATE: I went for MRI scans and EEG and was diagnosed with epilepsy about 6 months after this post.
What were your triggers?
@@saravandiverc.o.oforchaseh8245 honestly there don't seem to be any specific triggers, it can just happen out of nowhere. I considered things over the years like flashing lights etc but it seems to just come when it wants to.
I remember watching this video over ten years ago and showing it to my mom and sister because the experience was actually way too overwhelming to put into words. “Deja vu” can be categorized in many ways but there are so many other factors that came with this. I experienced these episodes for about ten years and I can definitely pinpoint it to an electric shock I felt after hitting my head on the steel bar of a yellow swing set in elementary school. When the electric shock was over with I remember tasting blood on the inside of my cheek but I had no recollection of biting my cheek because the electric shock was so overwhelming.
I had NO idea what these things were but I would stay home from school when I had them. Just as this woman explains, they would reap their torment about once month or so and last all day, in my experience. My mom would beg me to see a doctor but I wouldn’t want to leave my house when I had them. I could only tolerate familiarity on the days when I was experiencing them. I didn’t know how to explain them to a doctor at that young of age other than saying “scary deja vu”. And as described in this video, you feel the deja vu VERY intensely and the feelings that accompany before and after (our of body experience, sweating, tiredness, euphoria the day after), but what I never wanted to talk about when I was younger or even now is that immense, terrifying feeling of dread. I don’t even have the vocabulary to describe the feeling to this day. Please seek help if you have these because in my case they turned into grand mal seizures (which was a blessing in my case because I found out that they were seizures). I am now on medication and I haven’t had once of these in about 10 years.
may i ask you.. what meds u are on?
This is a great explanation of what I’ve been trying to explain for 30 years. I get it about 1-2x year now. All of the same symptoms. I feel nauseous but almost feel like I know everything about my life and I have the answers to everything. Almost like I know everything, the past and future...it’s so intense and scary I can feel my mind backtracking trying to get back to normal thinking. I told my mom when I first got it that I felt like I was about to die.
Ive had degavu for 8 years now. It starts by feeling cold and then looking around like I've been here before and knowing what happens next. As dejavu goes away i still cant talk knor read but i know im having an episode and go sit down and sleep automatically.
i am so happy to see that you are experiencing the same thing. whenever it happens to me, i feel so scared and disorientated. i dont understand whats going on but at the same time, its like ive experienced it before. im glad to see that you have gone through the same thing. also, i love your makeup videos!
Thank you for posting. I've had these since November 2018, it starts randomly as a deja-vu and I know what's coming in my current conversation or activity, and then I get really dizzy and nauseous and have to lay down quickly. It's always a frightening feeling and all I can do is say "no no no please please stop". I need to see my neurologist but I'm still in collections from my stroke 5 years ago. :(
Thanks for posting this - I know it's an old video but you describe what I'm going through right now. I've had them on and off for several years now. The episodes occur for a week or two and suddenly stop for months...in this case, almost a year. It's a feeling of Deja Ve, then suddenly it feels like I'm being ripped away from my body. Almost like a panic attack with the sudden feeling I may mess myself but I don't? Lasts for about 30 seconds. Afterward, I have a tired yet euphoric feeling...like the "happy pills" you described. Sometimes a cold sweat as well. May happen twice a day, sometimes only once. It's scary but it's not anything I feel is life-threatening. My heart doesn't beat erratically, there isn't any pain.
Something similar started happening to me about 2-3 weeks ago. I have déjà vu, but what really starts it is remembering my dreams. Ill start to remember a random dream and I feel really really sick to the stomach. Afterwards, I totally forget the dream. It usually happens about 1-2 times a day
I know it's been 7 years but this is exactly what is happening to me + weird smell and nausea!! Were you able to find out what it is? I'm trying to get behind it now but my doctor tries to tell me it has to do with my depression but I know that's not it!
SAME!! IT FEELS LIKE IVE DREAMT THIS EXACT MOMENT and everyrhing is déjà vu like what the person says to me i feel i saw it and heard it al n i’m my dream. and when it happens it feels like a kick in my stomach i get shocked and scared and freeze but i can hear everything and procès everything happening to me so i don’t know if it could be a seizure. i have it multiple times a day
@@saskia_ me too!!!!
@Big B!! I used to have epilepsy and when it happened my stomach started to hurt and id have a seizure thankfully I grew out of it but talk to a doctor
Me right now.
Wow literally described them 100% especially the sleep part. Thank you so much for this.
Omg I’m not crazy and I’m not alone. I needed this video so much. ❤️
I've had temporal lobe epilepsy, with every symptom you've described, for about 9 years. I have more like 5-7 a month, with the deja-vu feelings being the worst thing about it. I also have very good memory, which is bad in these episodes because I can always remember the details of the episode itself. I remember every little thing about how my brain is altered, and even remember doing the 'automatisms' or meaningless movements. It has completely changed my life. I wish I could be like you..
Thank you so much for putting this on line its exactly what I have been experiencing for years. I can go for months without anything happening then I have a whole day where I have loads (yesterday I had about 30). To stop me being scared when they are happening I try to concentrate on what I am seeing and it seems to be the dream I have had the night before coming back but much clearer.Today I feel absolutely exhausted but relieved finding out there are other people having the same experiences
Hia Lauren, Its good to hear from you and I am sorry for you that you have suffered so badly too. I feel much better about it now since reading all these comments and realising that I am not on my own, and neither are you.
I have epilepsy and this is exactly what I experience it’s like I know the people and place bt in reality I never been there before
Stay strong ❤️
YES THIS! This is exactly what I experienceas well
exactly what I’ve been going through since 2009... It’s ruined my life... there has been times I’ve actually knew peoples names before I met them... and have full memories about them them moment I see them but the problem is, is that I’m right about so many things that was in my mind... it’s like there’s a whole story that all comes out at once... it’s almost like I’m living the same life over & over... and nobody remembers shit but me... There’s too many details I’m right about and can’t explain why... It’s like Constant déjà vu and remembering another life and nobody else remembers...
This is amazing to me. I am almost in tears because years ago I suffered with the exact same thing. I finally fell into the hands of an amazing Epileptologist. He diagnosed me with having temporal lobe seizures and I was prescribed Lamictal. It has been a god send. I have not have this feeling for years. It was hard to explain to people. Thank God I had my boyfriend at the time to support me. Now he's my husband. But even my parents didn't get it.
This has been happening to me as well for a few year. It only happens for a day or two a year but I've had up to 20 episodes in a day. Mine feels like deja vu but like I'm remembering a dream. More than that, a dream realm, other world...something like that. So familiar that how could I have ever forgotten. Then when it's over I can't remember anything that I was thinking about.
I thought I was crazy the first few times till I did research. I've been to my doctor, a neurologist, gotten an MRI and EEG and they found no evidence of seizures. I've kinda given up figuring it out at this point.
illustrationdresser I have the same thing, the same exact thing, but sometimes I can control it so it wouldn't start. Doctors couldn't find anything, nobody believed me at first, even my mom, she thought I was just so dramatic but then I got a really serious seizure when I fainted and then she started believing me.
Laura Meškauskaitė How long was it happening before you had the major seizure? I think it's been about a year since my last episode. I'm crossing my fingers that it's over.
illustrationdresser I got my first episodes at the age of 10 (now I'm 19), episodes were very often 5-9 times per day nearly the whole week but not every week, usually in Autumn and Spring, then it started appearing less often, sometimes I didn't have them for months. The first time when I had my episode and then fainted was when I was 15 years old then 2 years later I had my second episode with fainting ( I had many in between that time without fainting, only de ja vu episodes ) and then 2 years later again, 3 days ago I had to episodes with fainting. I didn't have any episodes for 9-10months so it was a bit scary.. my doctors still can't find anything..
Cut out ALL caffeine. I cured my partial/Temporal Lobe seizures this way. These types of seizures rarely appear on MRIs or EEG's. Seizure free for 25 years. It may take some time. But PLEASE try it.
Me!!! Finally somebody else who is going through this. I sound like a crazy person trying to describe this to people. I'm doing to the doctor tomorrow morning and Im hoping to get some answers!!! Praying for you!!
hey! kinda late but what were you diagnosed with? was it TLE?
@@sydneykratz192 it was actually wpw.. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.. Meaning I have 3 extra electrical pathways in my heart..They say it has nothing to do with my weird seizure symptoms and deja vu, but I have to disagree because since surgery I have not had these feelings anymore
Yeah I agree the more I am hearing and finding out about it.
Thanks for taking the time to comment :)
I get this EXACT thing!!!!!! it throws me so much! Dejavu, rush of heat and sickness, sort of dizzy, have to sit down and take deep breathes with my eyes closed. REALLY familiar fleeting memory plus as it subsides I almost immediately lose grip of what the really familiar dejavu feelings were and I can't remember them at all. Had one today, left me feeling really hazy and off the rest of the day. It was so scary the first few times. occurs now and then, sometimes 2-3x a week others like not, not for a month then a single one.
had a brain scan and it was clear, suspected of having seizures, havent got to the bottom of it. Happens more often when I have had a lot of caffeine and/or not a lot to eat that day. first time I was in a shop, it was horrible. Changes my entire mindset after it happens.
Aaron, do you still get those episodes? Have you been diagnosed? I've been going through the same thing at the same frequency as you've mentioned. I'd love to know what your experience has been 8 month later. Thank you!
I get depressed after I have mine too... RIP
omg thank you for posting. I've been reearching a lot. I couldnt quite find something with more accurate info
Aaron Posts stuff I had been having the same thing since I was 24 years old I'm 30 now. Wasn't diagnosed till March this year. I had an sleep EEG nothing showed up so I changed nurologist and they did an Ambulatory EEG Wich finally caught a simple partial seizure. Wich I was finally diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Aaron if possible talk more with your nurologist about an Ambulatory EEG. And it kinda helps hearing and watching what people experience and you know you're not alone.
GamerKid21 Hawlk I have eeg.dreading it.whats it like.do they try to bring one on.i don't want anymore
I have been dealing with this off and on for years now. At first I thought that maybe this was just me... but now I guess I’m not alone.
It always feels like Deja Vu. I don’t feel depressed after it, and honestly it feels exciting... Almost like I’m chasing something i can’t remember and the closer I get to it the farther it gets away. My heart races and I get short of breath. It often happens in the middle of something like when I’m teaching a class, and i have to attempt to fight through this intense wave of familiar emotion. Like, it all seems very real and clear in the moment but when it’s passed I can’t remember what it was that I was recalling. It’s so hard to explain but the way you explain it sounds so similar to my experience. Now I’m a little shook and a little scared to think I might be having seizures but also it’s a little comforting to know I’m not the only one.
oh hun me too, I'm struggling loads with it at the moment. I find stress/stressful situations make them worse. They're so hard to explain to people who don't have them. I thought I was going mad 😢
Have you found anything that helps? x
Birth control helps. If you get on the right hormonal birth control it takes then away completely. Desogen works for me
This is pretty much how I feel. I remember the doctors saying it's an anxiety attack. I said how can it be anxieties? It feels intoxicating.
@@martinmartin38077 I definitely describe it as oddly euphoric. It’s like I’m on the verge of discovering something I’ll never discover. But it’s definitely scary that it happens..
@@krissydiggs It can be scary sometimes. For me it's like last night's dream has suddenly turned into reality, and everything makes super sense - even though it's actually nonsense. Somewhere between the scene from the film Limitless when the tablet starts working, and when Homer gets the initial effects of the Guatemalan insanity peppers...
Hi Marta, this post is quite old but I am wondering how are you these days?
Your video actually helped me to find out that these weird episodes that I was having are focal, partial seizures. I had an increasingly journey of seeing several psychologists who described my symptoms as part of depression and OCD. I don’t need to tell you that this was of course bs. In a desperate moment I started googling my symptoms and came across your video, which describes, down to the very last detail, what I have going on. After that, I made an appointment at the neurologist and, drumroll, it is epilepsy. All my actual epilepsy test came negative (there are no adequate test for partial focal seizures) and so the neurologist did a differential diagnosis and concluded epilepsy. I was relieved and scared at the same time.
Over a year now, I have been trying out several meds, some of them help, some of them don’t. I just wanted to know what you are doing now and if there has been any change with your episodes?
I've been dealing with this off and on for over a year now. It tends to feel like a premonition of death, a state of horror, I've been here before... I don't really know what it is or what causes it.
Sounds like Simple Partial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. My advice would be to go and get an EEG asap. I have had these 'Deja-vu' episodes and have only recently been diagnosed. They started when I was a teenager. Trauma can be a cause.
That is what I have. You are exactly right!
Interesting because my friend died not too long ago and I’ve had psychedelic shrooms before and they stoped ever since my friend past away
Very eerie
Same here. Correct.
I had a bad concussion and ever since I've had these seizures. Ive had one really bad one that made me seize fully and pass out for 20 mins.
This has been happening to me for the past 3 days and it really hurts and gives me a headache after
Yes i was diagnosed this week. I have had it since i was 6yrs after a bad car accident. Thank you for this video
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this video…..it’s the reason I went to the Dr’s around 10 years ago. I just thought I was going nuts, and found this 👌🏽 I hope you managed to keep it under control!
Ive never cried from it, although after it washes over me I start feeling realy scared and lonely.. and like I am the only one around..its quite disturbing. I wanted to say so much more, and I dont feel I have described it properly because I was nervous of the change from make up vid to possible loony..lol
Panacea81 - Lauren Luke I have the lonely feeling too. It is impossible to describe but I know exactly what you are talking about.
Yeah I still have the same symptoms as you had and the same illness which you suffered ....
Wow, I'm so glad I found this, I've had this for about 3yrs now. From time to time, I get these "memories" of something I dont even know if its real and then, I feel it coming on. I start to warp out. I call them episodes. It starts in my head then moves down. I have to stop what im doing & sit still or it'll get worse. After the warped feeling goes away (1-2 mins) my mind goes blank & it takes another 5-10 mins to regroup. My doc says to get a mri, definitely will set that up asap
You explained exactly what I go through. Terrifying. I’ve had this for 8 years now and I just now getting testing done to rule out anything. Did you ever figure out your diagnosis?
i'm 15 years old, and i have suffered with about 6 of these throughout the last couple months. i have had them before, like last year, but it stopped for a while. you can imagine how annoyed i was when it came back! knowing that other people are suffering with this as well makes me feel much better, i hope you are doing okay!
I have epileptic seizures since I was 7 years old, I am now 21 and slowly growing out of it. Since I was sixteen I have never let my disability get me down. I have been to Japan, college, and joined the jv softball team. Dont let it stop you!
collinssec best advice
I have suffering from these for 15 years, and the main problem is that it had affected my memory and cognition and i feel much more 'stupid' and less capable i was 15 years ago
Yes this has happened to me too. I don’t feel I can focus like other people
Hello can you please tell if you talk about short or long term memory ?
@@panacea81 Hello can you please tell if you talk about short or long term memory ?
Sam Sam my memory has been extremely affected. I believe I have learning difficulties since they started and sometimes can not take things in, finish sentences or remember things. I have big blanks in my life that I have to rely on others around me to fill in. It’s quite scary
@@samjamil8511 well i guess it depends on the exact place in your head where the seizure is happening, in my case , among other things ,it had affected a lot the visual memory, i cannot longer remember places where i had been , or even driving on my own city can be a problem because i cannot visualize the streets ahead
I have these....I call these episodes déjà vu with a twist...
I hate they are referred to a seizures but it is what it is...
I actually can feel when mines about to come so I'll get busy and focus or sing until the rush goes away
try to write the words that you thinking of while having this deja vu feeling called "auras" and after this "aura" try to read it..from my position, i cannot remember things that i was thinking of while having auras.. I tried this and i realized that my thinking and speaking change while having it.. i was thinking about really strange things and sentences context was very strange.. so just try it..
+latisha mitchell Thank you for posting this. I've experienced this 3 or 4 times over the last year, but after looking around for info, no one seemed to have quite the same experience. Youre the first I've found who matches exactly what I experienced, being able to feel it come on and able to control it by focusing on something or a distraction and making it go away. Not sure if you had it also, but i get a strong sense of dissociation right after the deja vu. Have you ever talked to a doctor about it?
Wow same here
I Can too, people think that you seizure means you fully lose your speech and so on. I don't lose vision or anything except once but it's never happened again. And I can feel them coming on
Jessica Blackwell me too
I had my first episode at the end of July. I watched this video the next day but didn't comment which is very ungrateful of me as it put my mind at rest about the whole thing. I thought I was going bonkers. I was watching a youtube video and had a really intense Deja Vue and felt the need to stand up and breathe deeply. I had a few more instances in the next few days. I did a google search and found this video. I called my doctor a few days later and he, without my promoting said he thought it was a focal seizure. I have had a few more, about once every 3 to 4 weeks. I had an MRI on Monday and am seeing a neurologist tomorrow. I will let you know what he says. Thank you again for posting this.
Hi Mike, sorry to hear you’re going through this. Your doctor seems to be on the ball with his thoughts. Please keep us updated as to what they find? Take care
@@panacea81 The neurologist has referred me for an EEG which I am waiting for.
Sir you have epilepsy please read the newest comments cause I made recommendations for everyone about meds you need to take and ask your dr for
@@weedman1168 Can't see the comments
Update: The EEG revealed occasional irregular brain wave activity over the right middle temporal area. I have an ambulatory EEG next week.
Wow 14 years on and my random Google search brought me to this video… I started calling it the DeJa vus as well. Early days, only happens a hand full of times.
My deja vu is somewhat different to this. I don't get seizures or anything like that, but sometimes I have dreams at night that occur later on in real life. The problem I have sometimes is that the setting of the place is the same as in the dream, but the interactions with the people are somewhat different in real life, but something that sticks out in the dream always comes true.
When it happens to me I get a banging head ache does anybody else get this ?
yes!! what other symptoms do you have???
Same
Please read the newest comments cause I have giving recommendations about what meds you need to take and ask your dr about and you do have epilepsy
thank-you so much for sharing...this is the first time i have ever heard anybody say what i have been experiencing for most of my life!! i thought i was the only one untill today...
Oh, I am so sorry Lauren, I hope your condition improves and so that you may eventually be cured. I do not have this condition, but I sincerely sympathize.
Hi, I was just curious as to whether you had had a referral to a neurologist and a diagnosis. You are definitely describing all of my symptoms and symptoms typical of temporal lobe epilepsy, I have TLE but I'm now controlled via medication (Lamotrogine/Lamictal). My life is back to normal now, I'm driving again and hold down a full time job. TLE is an horrendous illness and is very scary to cope with, I ended up in psychiatric care on various occasions due to suffering from clusters of seizures over days, leading to postictal psychosis. The giddiness and feeling of awe that you describe is referred to as 'postictal bliss'. After my seizures were over and I was back to normal, it would feel as though I'm in a new world, much brighter and happier than the previous one. During the actual seizures though, mine are always filled with dread. I can feel like only I exist and the meaning of the universe is being revealed to me and it is incredibly scary, scarier than anything I can try and imagine, if I was to try and imagine hell, it would not come close to the feeling.
Oh, if you check out my videos, you will see one of me during a mild simple partial, this was actually the last one I ever had. I get regular deja vu from time to time but so does everyone.
Pete Bell. what did the doctor say that was wrong?
Hi Kayla, sorry for the late reply. I was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) I am controlled now via medication and haven't had a seizure since 2014.
This sounds like the kind of type I have. Only that for me the deja vu feels like i've been there countless times before and that this world feels so automated somehow. It feels like I live my life over and over.
@@petelyneey i think mine are happening in my sleep. I wake up terrified and confused. Do you see colors? Visual snow?
It happens every time I look at my washing machine when it's running or when I see an old family photo
anytime I hear the song "buffalo soldiers" by bob marley... I know there have been other triggers but yeah that has been the most noticeable
this makes me feel so seen. these are terrifying and i've gotten them a lot since i suffered my brain injury. thank you so much for sharing. i hope you're doing okay
I can't believe it. I've lived with this "thing" for years and just thought I was weird or crazy or something. I go through very many of these same symptoms, and your story sounds very familiar. This is what I go through, too. This is the first time I've ever actually been on You Tube. I created an account just so I could respond to this! I'm going to watch some of the other videos. Thank you for posting your story. I get it, I really do!
I keep having these.. for about a solid year, I had it happen 6 times yesterday, and twice today so far.. I try and tell my family but they just brush it aside.. I’m going to try and see a neurologist soon, I can’t handle this any longer and I have no energy after they happen.
Bless you, sorry to hear you’re having them too. I hope you get far with the neurologist and get to the bottom of these. They are very weird indeed.
Please do asap because you do have deja vu epilepsy like me and since I been taking keprra three 750 mg pills with my phenytoin ex 100 mg caps two years ago it's worked wonders with me cause I use to have seizures every three months and it was hard to go through and since they added the keppra I don't have seizures but like every 6-9 months and my body heals quickly around 5 days not like a whole month like old times. Please look into this so you can go on with your life
I get these moments that are totally random (I can't understand the logic of why they occur when they do) when I start remembering a dream (or really bits of a dream) and I remember that it already happened before, but I know that it actually never really did happen and that it just feels like it. It feels good for a bit and I actually kind of enjoy it in a way, but then there's also an element of light nausea which gets stronger within a minute or two. The nausea isn't that bad really, and it's pretty manageable. I just feel really disoriented and while I seem to be able to function and talk to people, when the episode is over I'm still fuzzy in my mind and I have no idea whether what I've said or done was totally okay (though everything seems fine). I also can't remember what was in the "dream" though I really want to. The overall experience is just weird and confusing if not pleasant. What's not pleasant is not understanding it and being really scared that something is wrong with me.
I do experience this very often.
And it makes me feel like vomiting, like passing out
Lauren, good luck in finding out what is wrong. I care about you and hope that you will be fine. Gayle
Dear Lauren,
Im sorry this has been happening to you. I can only imagine how scary it might be at times, but I just want you to know that even though I havent experienced it myself, I'm here for you =). hope you clear this up soon.
Oh wow, I came across this old video while researching seizures and I had these in high school (around 2016-2017) and had no idea what they were. I was experiencing a lot of panic attacks at the time and it was the worst my anxiety ever was to this day. I was anxious almost all the time and just thinking about panic attacks made me panic. I started having these mini episodes of deja vu but like everything I was experiencing had happened before in a dream. All at once I had that feeling, everything felt distant and weird, I felt super hot and sweaty, nauseous, like I was going to throw up and pass out. It would fade after about 30 seconds but so much happened at once it would really knock the wind out of my sails and I’m sure I looked pale and detached. I never mentioned this to my parents or doctor because I thought it was just a weird side effect of my panic disorder. I started having them a bit again when my mental health took a nose dive in 2018. I haven’t had a bad one of these in years but I feel one come on occasionally but am able to somewhat stop it in its tracks and allow myself to calm down. Perhaps mine was brought on by the stress and trauma of that time in my life. I hope to never experience those again it was truly terrible.
Have you felt this but never had a seizure? I feel exactly this dejavu and it is soon followed by strange memories of dreams or moments in my life, but I have never had a seizure in my life now Reading the comments I was really scared of having a seizure or something serious neurological.
I want to get checked for this kind of thing because I think I've been having these ever since I was 9 (I'm 20 now). The last time it happened I was helping my sister paint her new room in our new house. I looked outside her window, stopped what I was doing and just stared. She got a bit freaked and asked what was going on, I couldn't even form a sentience to explain to her. Thing is, I can remember what's going on, I just can't talk.
I'm waiting to see a neurologist, I have the exact same symptoms and I know exactly how you feel! it's always hard to explain to someone how it feels, so glad you've uploaded this :)) x
Thank you :)
The more I research its starting to sound more common than I had imagined. I cant wait for any video responses on this, Its hould be very interesting.
I just started getting these symptoms around 2 years ago. Just today I had about 3-4 “episodes” of Deja Vu with nausea and dizziness, then my head starts to hurt for a few minutes. I’m hoping to see a doctor soon so I can at least get some answers because my parents really don’t understand it, and they tell me to “get over it” it’s something you really can’t get over!!
I get several episodes in a month and it dies down for a month or two. My mom thinks it’s stress, but I’m really not stressed out. It’s really interesting!!
Same! My parents were thinking it was nervousness from sports but it started when I was little then it stopped for a long time and came back maybe like 10 years ago. It’s scary to me tbh get it like 2 times a month
I have these "deja vu" feelings ever since I was little, about when I was 7. But with mine I actully go deaf and I can't talk to anyone when I have it but I can walk around but it makes me feel very nervous and like an out of body feeling. I makes me feel like nothing is 'real' I have always just called them deaf spells cuz idk what else they were. The deja vu feeling doesn't always happen when I get my deaf spells. I have gotten it when I get woken up fast. Or when I get scared.
Lauren ,
First off I must say i love your accent !! ( USA here ) ...
Secondly , I have had DejaVu on and off through out my entire lifetime . . . .
AND ;) I actually feel comfort in mine - I take it as a recognition of having lived before !
" I've been here or I have said this exact thing before !
I have even told people what was going to be said.... before it WAS SAID !!! .......
I was born with ( I suspected ) epilepsy , Diagnosed at age 12 .......
Anyhow , In addition to the DejaVu ... I also notice a complete absence of Dreams ;(
When everyone else seems to dream & remember them , I do not . and it only serves to be more of a way of me being isolated from society . . . . Since many of my friends seem to enjoy telling stories about " our dreams " ........ Helping me to feel more and more
Left out , or having less in common .
So sorry to hear about all this....I had no idea stuff like this exsists! Well I hope you find a cure for it & have it checked out at the doctor please! Take care....XxX
I’m having it right now. Except mine is lasting. It’s still happening rn, I think it started like 30 minutes ago. I just feel like everything’s already happened. I started experiencing the deja vu after I felt my anxiety coming on. I also felt quick deja vu a few days ago. The only difference is that this one is lasting. It’s really scary and I don’t know why it’s happening but if it’s happening.
I know exactly what your talking about and their is this foul smell it's really bad I feel like am about to pass out,and I don't remember anything after the episode is done I hate it.
You have medial temporal lobe seizures. This is not a frontal lobe problem. Some people will perceive a horrible toxic-metallic smell during the seizure -- so you are lucky you don't have that. Get an MRI to see if there is a physical reason for the problem. Otherwise, ask your doctor about a good anti-epileptic medication for MTL seizures. With a long course of medication sometimes people will stop having seizures and can stop taking medication.
I cannot believe I finally found something about this, it’s been such a painful struggle and I could never find anything online even. THANK YOU!! IVE FOUND MY PEOPLE 😭😭 will be going to a neurologist soon
Hi girl I know how u feel it was brushed of at Frist
Omg I've been going through this at least 10 times a month for the last year and I didn't know what was wrong. I'm so glad I found this video. Thank you.
My gf has been telling me, for 2 years now, about her "deja vo" experiences. Until last week I have always thought she was being dramatic and i couldn't understand why she kept making such a big deal about it. I was actually starting to get a little annoyed... Now I feel like a giant asshole... Well... Last week she had her first grand mal seizure, at work (she's an RN). She was in the middle of talking to another nurse and just fell to the floor and started seizing... A few months back she started getting headaches on one side of the front of her head. She has also experienced the deja vo atleast once a week for the past few months, much more frequently then ever before (she said she's had "deja vo" since she was a child). When the neurologist told us that these were mini seizures, I started doing some research. What I found blew me away... Part of me is absolutely fascinated by this becsue it's very interesting, but part of me is scared for someone I love. Why don't ppl know about this?? Her step father is a doctor (ENT) and he had never heard about this. Blows my mind how few ppl in the medical feild know about this.
Richard Guidroz yer I have it too.my auras I get a rush and dajavu but forget it.now I have dreams in mine.i hear voices.see things.its euphoric.had them for 6 months and then bam missus found me in bed fitting.hardly breathing.rushed to hospital.its scary.mine are in my sleep my seizures which is quite dangerous. My auras sometimes I have 4 a day. Freaks me out.now since my first seizure a get a constant noise like when u bang ur head.slso colours lights confuse me.fast moving objects too.im 44 and was fit as a fiddle before this.your right mate it is scary as now I pray I'm going to wake up in the morning.this has made me anxious and a bit panicky .freaks me out mate
And mine started with a headache that woke me up and made me sick and feel drunk.missus saved my life.
Temporal Lope epilepsy is one of the more uncommon forms of epilepsy
I've had this since a teenager (i'm 45 now). It used to happen only few times a year. One time in my 20's I was out at a party and passed out several times. Sometimes I could go years without an episode. Never been diagnoised and the one MRI or ECG scan I had (can not remember what it was), showed nothing wrong apparently! Always thought there was something wrong and unual. Been told it was pain free migraine auras to something else! Already have a vit B12 deficiency. Bit scared to go back to the GP! :/
Ps. Had forceps delivery birth, wondering if that may of caused it!
I’m 14 and this has been happening to me ever since I could voice it and mine also come only every like 4 months and stayed for a month and I get the feeling 4-5 times a day everyday
I'm in shock right now. I had this EXACT thing when I was a child and everyone brushed me aside. I had no idea that other people suffered from this -- or that it was actually 'something'. No one believed me and no one understood what I was going through.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. It's always to interesting to hear someone else explain what I go through, the way I explain it almost word for word. We have a VERY similar story. I recently went off meds, the deja vu came back. And now even though I'm back on meds I get it occasionally. Today is a very bad day, it's happened like 6 times. I'm just sweaty and tired.
The doctor story!!!! YEEESSSS. I went in and they said it was just me having a headache. Like... no... this is something different. Googled, it said epilepsy.... I got scared and just decided to ignore it. About 6 months later I woke up in the hospital bc my first big seizure happened in my sleep.
ive been dealing with this for as long as i can remember, though much of it i wasn't able to put into words. Glad you were able to, interested to see if anyone is going to find a way to minimize the sensation...
Casimir Acoustic psychedelic mushroom helped me with my seizures and for some reason trauma had something to with it
l have it too.... my family doctor would NOT believe me. So I stopped telling people until l had a grand Mal seizure and ended up in the hospital. The doctors knew exactly what it was after I told them I get these weird feelings like I have been there before..... they put me carapamazepine never felt better.
weird enough it seem to happen more the fall weather....even though my family doctor does not think they work like that (starting to think she doesn't know to much). you would think she could look on line and read about cluster seizures 😡😷😕
+Sundae Mussche Sorry to hear about your Grand Mal Seizure, I suffered from them about 8-9 years (having one every two weeks) I've now developed simple partial seizures which are incredibly frustrating and give me weird sensations and symptons. What's the medication like that your on now?
Phil Howarth I take 800 mgs of carbamazpine daily and 200 mgs at night. It was only 800 at first but then I started having those weird feelings but it never involved to anything worse but they upped it. What do you experience when you have a simple particle? ?
It honestly feels like my brain is fried and I can't process or think straight, I have small migraine with visual hallucinations sometimes seeing lights or even people. Its crazy. I also suffer cold sensations on the body and pins n needles, then after its finished i feel fatigued and I have bad mood swings. Are yours still under control now?
Pretty much. It seems worse around the fall season. I have been OK. I still get a weird feeling but comes and goes really quick . I would get a dejavu. Then I would like get really scared because I would think that I really had done or dreamed what was seeing. Then everything starts to look weird and let get ringing in my ears. My legs don't work and l can't talk. This started when l was round 12. My family doctor never believed me. Then l had a grand Mal when I was about 37. When in the hospital, l was given a brain Dr. She asked if l ever had weird feelings and said I have dejavus. She knew exactly what l was talking about. So lucky for me l was able to finish school and have 2 babies before they started to dope me up😊. Now lam 45 and I think I good. But my family doctor still has no clue and she starting to question my meds. I may have to contact the doctor from hospital and make an appointment with her again. I don't want to have another grand Mal. I have to work.
Thank you for your video! You put into words what I have had trouble explaining to people. I wasn't even sure if I was having partial seizures, because they never found anything on all the tests they've ran on me. I experience a lot of the same stuff you're describing with the dejavu, feeling like your brains fried afterwards along with feeling nauseous. Once I've had one, I know it's going to be a long day of having several because one usually triggers several more leaving me zonked and just wanting to go to sleep. The only trigger I've noticed for myself, is when I'm sleep deprived. Anyways thanks again for your video, I intend to show it to my doctor, family and friends and anybody I'm trying to describe what I'm going through.
Hi- I've had these episodes since February this year. I had five yesterday and went to the doctor and they think I have Simple Partial Seizures. I'm waiting to see a neurologist next. Thank you for your video. I thought I was crazy. It was great to be able to hear someone else describe what has been happening to me. I've always had Dejavu, but now it comes with intense feelings of vibrating and trouble seeing clearly. Thanks Again
Awe thanks Bi, Hope you are keeping well?
Im glad you got the brushes safely. I over worry things go well with all my orders so its like a cloud has lifted when I hear you have them safe :)
So thankful to know it's not just me. EVERYTHING You said matches up with what I've been trying to explain. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for watching and I’m sorry you’re going through this.
Holy crap!!!! That explains what I've been going through. This just randomly popped up and I started watching. Does anyone else get caught just staring at nothing, I get asked that all the time. Holy crap....thanks for the info.
Yes.. Had this today i am so happy I have found this!. i was in the car park waiting for an order and i thought about something, which then makes you over think this certain something and you then start wondering if it was real or a dream, and then it leads on to something else, and then something else and it feels like your brain cannot focus properly. Feels like you have been there before, like you say, similar to DeJa vu but not. Afterwards i'll get a really bad headache all day and feel so sick. I have had this around 3 or 4 times in my life, but today seemed to have been the longest i've had it and i still don't feel 100% right now, i feel if i started over thinking it now, i would start this off again. It's sooooo hard to explain. It's so weird!
I will say, I roughly have 1 red bull a day, my body don't deal with caffeine well, and this weekend have been very busy where i've been driving loads so all i can think of is, it's the tiredness causing it... (i hope)
Wow, I can't thank you enough for making this video.
I've been experiencing almost exactly the same symptoms for about 6 years and always thought they were panic attacks. But of course that never made sense... I even tried to desensitize myself to "triggers", but they always just came out of nowhere when I felt fine.
Your video spurred me to do some research and I'm convinced this is what I have. They only happen every one or two months in clusters. I guess I'll go to the neurologist soon :)
What were your triggers?
THANK YOU. You have just described a condition I have been dealing with for many years. I also call it Deja vu. I also somtimes get this smell that I cant quite place. I had been put on Tegretol but it had some side effects I didnt care for so I stopped taking it. I dont really know if it helped because the episodes dont have a schedule. I sometimes go for months without one. Afterward I am burned out. I cant concentrate or perform detailed tasks for about an hour.
I experience all these symptoms and experiences. I have Frontal lobe Epilepsy. Had my first real seize recently. It is not rare. The more I talk about it. Thanks for sharing.
Need a 2022 update on how you are and how things are going !!!
Lauren, I am sorry to hear that this is happening to you. I have felt this before and it was diagnosed as "panic attacks". I have even had to call the medics. Please take it easy and make sure that you don't drink things with caffeine or smoke. I got the brushes and the pigments. I love them! and thanks for the samples. You are a doll and you will be keeping you in my prayers. Read on panic attacks and anxiety attacks.
I can't believe I never seen this before ! I've been watching your videos since I was 13/14 . I'm now 22, and still love it .
I've been suffering with this now for about two years . For me it's set off by settings around me , songs playing on the radio , smells and even a conversation. For me it's like a flashback to a "memory/dream".. I honestly can't even begin to explain how it makes me feel or some of the situations that happen , even writhing this is making feel weird .
I hope this can help some of you that have commented on here. I too had this exact thing happening to me, horrible feelings. After seeing my doctor, and feeling a little embarrassed because I thought he would think it very odd, he sent me to see a specialist believing it could be seizures. After a few tests the specialist asked if there was any history of migraines in the family, which there was, my mum suffered from them a lot. He told me that the migraines can cause this feeling, even though I wasn’t even getting headaches, again seems odd doesn’t it. I was prescribed some medication that helps a lot, and I get a lot less attacks. I hope this can help some of you out, but please seek proper medical advice first.
I suffered my first epileptic seizure recently, at 36yo, thanks to your video I am beginning to make a connection of that episode with these deja vu episodes I have been having about once a week or two weeks, for 2 years now. I was failing to understand what that was, couldn't describe it. Horrible feeling. I'm glad to find that I'm not the only one going through this
No problem. I hope it helps a little to know your not alone.
thankyou so so much for this video, i get this nearly every day up to 2-3 times a day and, since i have very bad anxiety aswell, it leaves me physically sick, drained and unstable. i thought i was alone for so long and ive been researching it for a while too, but seeing someone actually talking about it makes all the difference and has reassured me
What is the solution
am 46 had exact experience first when 19 ended up sectioned was 1990 tried explaining to doctors vicars anyone read hundreds of books and only recently met another person same age sharing what we thought we both thought no one had- even lead life deep into meditataion,mysticism for answers to such dreadfull visions they were like showing hell -thankfully had some good ones years later-bless you flower or anyone who has this experience as many times as yourself -its deep like you say sort of seeing self a step ahead of yourself-only recently heard called TLE it really was sort of a curse and a lifechanging experience each time fitted-thanks for sharing your expieriences-honestly never knew of anyoneelse for over 20 years talk about this -wow
This just happened to me. I am still speechless. I can't believe so many are feeling the same thing like exactly the same the funny thoughts the memory loss EVERYTHING. Thank you for the video.
