Anyone Else Have Something Like An Out-of-body Experience When They're Siezing?

Like you can see what's going on or even experience portions of it but have no control at the same time? This is difficult to explain.

Yes, this is a weird feeling. I can hear and see what is happening but I don't have control over my actions and my speech is not appropriate. I know it's a siezure and try to walk away to my safe zones but I am not able???
This week I learned I cannot cry. I have tried but no tears. MD said from scar tissue caused from Traumatic Brain Injury. WEIRD BRAIN!

I haven’t . But I have heard of people experiencing an OBE, during the seizure.

Having had seizures when I was a young and as a nurse, I’ve found that to be almost a given when people describe their seizures
