for me its not very worrysome because it does not happen often. andd when i zone out i am aware of who i am and where i am and what i am doing. basically its just me staring off into deep thought. sometimes i do it without realizing and sometimes i can do it intentionally.
Hi there. The phases of zapping our or spacing out could be petit mal seizures or better known as absence seizures wherein the patient is physically present but mentally cannot recapitulate the events and thoughts later. These come in brief phases without any physical signs of seizures like tonic clonic activity. This needs ruling out by an EEG and MRI brain to search for any focal lesion particularly temporal lobe. Anxiety seems to be a big problem for you and needs medications called anti anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines to relieve the symptoms. Your neurologist is the best judge and please cooperates with him in achieving proper therapy. Hope this helps. Take care.
