I have sometimes gotten a strange feeling in my head before a seizure, but other times when i feel that i just distract myself and the feeling goes away. is it possible that the feeling could be the start of a seizure but i somehow manage to stop it?

If you do suffer Complex Partial Seizures, auras can include deja vu sensations, rising fear, but also foul odors and strange tastes. If this fits, and even if you have solely the auras, which do not go onward to full loss of awareness, you should get evaluated by a neurologist. Uncontrolled epilepsy would preclude driving, activities at heights, power equipment, swimming or bathing alone.
