Hello! I don't really know how to explain this in short so, thank you for taking your time to read this.
The last few months I've been having issues/problems again with Déjà vu, the best way that I can explain these "episodes" (if I can call them that) is that I feel nauseous, it is like the world is spinning and I am out of balance. I am never stressed before hand, I'm calm most of the time before that happens.
The occurences can take up to 2-3 minutes and happen at random.
I have periods of time that is like 5-8 days that I get Déjà vu, the amount of times I get in that time span is 12-14 times. So I sometimes I get it more than once a day, I have experienced it 5 times in a day before.
(I've only started noting it down back in April)
My family and I don't really know what it could be, we're going to the doctor for it soon.
I've been to a therapy group before and talked about it with those councelors in private and about my past. They think it could be in result of trauma or it could be epilepsy, they did say to not take their word for the second option especialy, which I didn't take their word for it until something can be diagnosed. The councelors also said it could be something else, but they couldn't really say anything. FYI I am a 17 year old girl so yeah. So currently I have limited resources. I just want to ease my mind. :)
Edit: (because I forgot to mention this)
Half the time when I get Déjà vu it feels or looks familiar. But I also had occasions where it came without something looking or feeling familiar in any kind of way.

This is most likely a temporal lobe epilepsy you're describing. See a doctor immediately.
This 100%. I dealt with this for a couple years before my first grand mal. See a doctor. Tell them you need to see a neurologist. This isn't anything to fuck around with, I don't want to scare you but you are seriously in danger if you don't take care of this.
I get deja vu every day. I think I'm gonna get checked out

I currently have no progress about this. My parents know and I got déjà vu today again. It happened while I was gaming, to be fair I was kind of out of it (possibly dissociating?) for atleast 15 minutes before I got déjà vu.
I told my dad and he still hasn't gotten an appointment for it.
For the majority of the time I live with my dad. I told him I had it once today and he now blames it on stress. Even though he promised me to get an appoinment, to be honest I'm used to the empty promises. While I was writing this I got déjà vu again so that was annoying. Don't get me wrong classmates annoy me, but not that much to the point that I think about them on a sunday.
I might go to a school councelor tomorrow. Hopefully the next update I give will be something that clears up everything for me. (Sorry if there are spelling mistakes, English is my second language.)
