Hi @jennsprung
Thanks for sharing this experience of your seizures !!! I have very much identified myself with your focal seizure experiences. My experiences are pretty much the same, I also have TLE.
I know, it is difficult to find words to describe them. I first also called them vision and later on my short movies (it felt like a short movie I have already seen many times before). They were all very clear during the seizure, but after it is over I can not remember them. When I was younger, I could tell my mother “the movie is starting” at the start of a seizure. Nowadays, I can not warn through words anymore, but gestures. In the past, some seizures gave me a good sensation, like a feeling of relief. Nowadays, not anymore. In your post, you have mentioned that your seizures are terrifying. Would you mind telling me more about it?
Thanks again!
