Odd when you develop bad anxiety issues from seeing a stress induced seizure...afraid you will have one from stress when its what stresses you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a trauma: Observing someone go through a seizure or other painful events can result in trauma or even ptsd for the observer of the event. Generally the fear passes and does not leave a lasting mark. If it persisted treatment with a therapist skilled in treating trauma and phobias should be considered.

Does this sound like a seizure? Random intense deja vu, comes in suddenly (cant find trigger) gets so strong to the point I can predict what a friend will say. During episode extreme anxiety can function and am aware just deja vu and stress?
