Hey,
Videogames sometimes make me nauseous. I've experienced derealization since 2000 (an unreal feeling, sort of like you're detached from your body) and playing a videogame seems to worsen this feeling. Videogames also gave me the occasional nausea before the derealization started. I've had panic attacks since 2001. TV programs or DVDs don't seem to do this at all, only videogames. I fear epilepsy, I knew someone with it and I feel it's one of the worst things that could happen to me. I've never had an epileptic seizure, but I often feel like one is building up inside me. I'm also very sensitive to changes in framerate (the speed at which video is moving - 30 frames per second is usually enough for most individuals to consider the movement smooth), screen flicker and such.
I'm not entirely sure why I'm posting this here, I suppose I just need to tell about my fear and maybe read some similar experiences or convincing that my fear is uncalled for. Does anyone know how epilepsy is detected, and can it be discovered before someone with it has even had a seizure? I'm wondering because I believe medical proof against my fear would be a big relief.
