I'm only 14yrs old
Ever since I was a young I have been having this intense/fast feeling. It's like one minute everything is normal and then everything starts to become fast and intense. Everything you hear becomes louder and your movement becomes faster but in reality it's not.
It just happened again a few minutes ago and well it was happening my sister walked and and started talking to me but she sounded so loud and her movement around the room was fast and intense.
Can someone please help me and tell me what it is.
This happens to me quite often it and sometimes it doesn't matter where I am. An episode usually occurs when I am unconsciously thinking of nothing and all of a sudden I would hear every sounds become so pronounced and intense and every little noise can be felt and heard at a level so intense that it can be overwhelming sometimes. I can hear my own heart beating intensely as well.
I hate it when it happens when I'm doing something important like how it happened when I was sitting for a finals paper and my lecturer was quite a long way off in this massive examination and I could tell that he was whispering and I didn't realize I was staring until I could actually make out what he was saying.
Anyways I've developed a way to deal with these episodes. I usually concentrate on a sound usually my heartbeat and try and count along with the beats and ignore everthing else. I'm so good at it that when one is starting I suppress the feeling and try to concentrate on anything or I force myself to talk to whoever is beside me.
Sometimes I just like to be alone to get away from all of it.
It happened twice just now and by typing out this long as reply im diverting my mind away from it all.
It will get better. I am 25 years old and learnt to deal with it when it happens and have never taken any meds for it. I always say mind over matter when an episode occurs.
