Yes extreme fear can be an aura. That's the main feeling I get when a seizure is coming.

this sounds so much like what I experience. thanks for sharing.

I noticed this after a night of drinking more than I should have (before I knew I had epilepsy). It was almost every 30 min or so. Not very fun. From the outside it looks like I'm fine. A few times other people have felt my nervousness when it's a real bad one.

This is exactly how my daughter describes it, she sometimes gets an overwhelming feeling of fear, nearly manic, it might last for just a few minutes, sometimes over an hour (coming and going throughout the hour). To an onlooker, it looks like a panic attack, without the hyperventilating. She can also hear sounds/voices/buzzes, all giving a dark and negative feeling. Another symptom she gets is the sensation of De Ja Vous, which again gives her the fear of dread.

Some times my postals can be panic attackish
