I've had epilepsy for for over 20 years now. I'm 39 and seizures started while I was driving a car out of a driveway when I was 18 (thank the Lord for that btw). I've had every different type of seizure these past ~20 years but I'm not sure if I've ever had an aura. I've read and read about the different types people have with epilepsy, but my episodes seem to just come randomly with no forewarning, mainly in the afternoon the last few years for some reason actually.

My question is this: To those of you who do have auras, is there any doubt in your mind that 'this is an aura so I know an episode is coming'? If so, are there small things you notice that you tend to do before it happens, or a certain feeling, emotion, etc?

Thank you all beforehand for reading this. It is greatly appreciated!

I recently convinced a friend to watch Uncut Gems, and it reminded me how rare (and great) it is to see an actor completely break out of their usual style and absolutely nail it. Adam Sandler breaking out of his typical comedic roles is a great example of this.

What are other great, against-type performances by actors?

Just watched Blue Ruin for the first time this past week, maybe more than once 😉 , any recommendations for similar in-depth, very personal, slow roller (to a point at least) style films?

My movie style is slowly changing as I get older I guess. So this, Aftersun, All of Us Strangers, and Civil War have all really peaked a new interest into indy-styles for me recently.
