Weird Experience Last Night: Dissociation or Absence Seizure?

I experienced something weird last night. It felt like dissociation, but I was still kind of there. And afterwards I had enough energy to mumble when spoken to, and I was "lagging," answering questions that were asked 2 questions ago. Then I had a small migraine (light throbbing feeling) and very tired/mentally drained. I don't know if this was an absence seizure or really bad dissociation that I was trying to "fight."

a functional seizure is psychological related. A way for the brain to escape from being overwhelmed, basically. Sometimes related to dissociation

The headache makes me lean towards a seizure, but a great question for your doctor for sure. I am currently trying to differentiate between seizures and functional seizures. It can be hard to tell sometimes!
