Are you sure you don't have epilepsy?
This is me comming out of a focal-discognitive seizure; where I'm effectively blacked out for 3-10min, but still mobile and making decisions.
You just kind of snap out of it, confused where you are, and wondering what you've been doing the last few min. It's not fun; especially when you make dumb choices during, like running across a busy highway :/
Note; I don't drive because of this.
Are you sure you have epilepsy?
Given 8 years of this and multiple diagnosis from several neurologists; yes.
What I don't know is why it started, why it's continuing, or what causes/triggers them.
We have at least found a set of meds that supress them sufficiently, so it's not as much of a daily problem.
