*TRIGGER WARNING - 9/11*

I've been thinking about my last seizure a lot. Then I read something about psychogenic non epileptic seizures. People with PTSD can have them. From what I've read, it seems to be when your brain goes into overload mode and it can't handle anything and it mimics a seizure (falling, convulsions, etc) but it doesn't have the electrical brain discharge with normal seizures. The last one I had, I was in downtown Dallas. There was an apartment building that had many floors with their fire alarm going off. 10 minutes went by and no fire trucks or anything came. So I calmed down and figured they were testing the system or something. Then suddenly, the blocks were filled with fire trucks, police and ambulances. I looked up at the building and one of the very top floors, I seen this lady leaning out of her window, looking down. My only thought was "omg. She's about to jump" and I just pictured people jumping from the twin towers and then everything went black. My boyfriend said I went into convulsions and people from stores ran to me to try to help before the ambulance got there. Trying to give me water and such. I know I don't have epileptic seizures. I'm 99.9999999999% certain that would be impossible because I have no problems with flashing lights or anything like that. I spent years reading about 9/11. Conspiracy theories, news articles, interviews, videos. Everything. Is it even possible to get PTSD from just over doing it while researching?

Has anyone had a seizure from PTSD?
