Mini seizures?
About five years ago, I had a seizure. I think it would be what's called a grand mal seizure. I passed out and started jerking. Ever since then, I've had these weird things that I've always called mini seizures. I'll be riding in a car and the sun will be kind of flashing through the trees, and if I close my eyes, it's like I'm having a seizure only I'm awake. I'll freeze up and feel like I'm jerking, and it takes me about 10 seconds to snap out of it. Sometimes I'll be talking when it happens and I'll hear my voice get shaky, but when I ask the people with me if they noticed anything, they say no. They never see me jerk or hear my voice shake or anything. I've heard about mini seizures before, but none of the experiences I've read about sound anything like mine. Any advice on what this could be?

Hey there,
I have had seizures before and so I can relate to you. I believe what you are having is a type of seizure, they are just more mild now that its been a few years.
I used to have brain bleeds when I was little, so now I have minor seizures. When I am about to have one, I have a 'feeling' I'll call it, where I get a weird feeling inside of my stomach and then I know I am going to have one. People hardly ever notice, for they only last about 20 seconds and I don't shake or anything, I just kind of blank out (like staring into space, which most people do anyhow). My mom says I seem to turn my head a little to one side, so she notices sometimes when I am going to have one. She also says, that if im in a middle of a sentance, I will just start slurring my words if I am having a seizure.
Flashing lights, worrying, and stress are main causes of seizures. Try not to get stressed out, do things that you enjoy and take time to relax if you start to feel exhausted. Simple things like pulling over in your vehicle when you feel like you are having one can save your life too.
Whenever you feel like you are going to have one, just relax yourself and breath. You probably have epilepsy, which is common for a lot of people, even famous actors. I would go to your doctor and get it checked out, for if you continue to have seizures you could damage your brain and end up having a bunch of grand mal seizures for your adult life. It is better to catch them when they are small and fix it while it is easy. I hope you find the help you may need so you can continue your life without any worry of seizures <3
