unusual 'fast feeling' in my head

HEY! You have anxiety! or panic attacks. Take deep breaths and do some research on how to calm yourself. Don't worry, TONS of people have this. hope I helped! :))

no its not anxiety. I have a friend with anxiety and i asked her if what i was experiencing was anxiety and she said it wasn't.

Hi,

I have these symptoms too. Concentrate on something like a watch serial or play a game u like a lot. this will concentrate your drain on one thing so you will forget about rush feeling and eventually it will go. (Don't keep you brain empty). meditation may work but I am not good at it.

Thank you

I know that feeling just wants me to just cover my ears and close my eyes its so terrible

I also had this when I was younger. I noticed that I tended to get it when I would be sick. Sometimes I would even experience this at night and then be sick the next morning. I figured it had something to do with having a fever and some kind of hallucination.

I'm 34 and have had these "fast feeling episodes" since I was also a kid. I rarely have them anymore. I did have one about 4 months back getting ready for work. Lasts about 10 to 15 mins. Everything in my head is fast, but I know I'm moving in normal time. It's a crazy feeling. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Happens maybe once a year now.

I used to have this same feeling years ago approx 15 years. But over the last couple of days ive had two episodes the scary bit is today the one i had was disturbingly the worst case. I know its happening yet at first im unable to stop what im doing until i can take no more and my mind just seems to crash. My doctor has been of little help and because of the gap between episodes it seems there is no medical explanation. But it scares me.

All is still. Then slowly at first things feel weird as if im about to experience another one. Then without warning my mind will speed up excessively my bodily movements are normal but i perceive them as really fast. Whatever im doing seems to go slow but within a microsecond everything is racing, i have no control over these feelings until such a time as i seem to be unable to cope and all i know what to do is shout HELP. i manage to stop what im doing while my partner or kids assist me by talking to me and reassuring me that all is ok. Fortunately i have a medication called lorazepam which is meant as an anti psychotic tablet that very quickly completely reaxes the body and mind to a near state of euphoria. The problem is that whatever these horrendous episodes that happen either yearly or as in my last 2 within days of each other. The tabs reduce the feeling but my head feels heavy and i feel very scared. My doctor has seemed uninterested over these symptoms and when i had a psychiatrist he also had no explanation as to what was going on. I have started to research this symptom but there are so many different explanations for what i experience and i have only found a hand ful of anonymous users explaining a similar feeling. But everone is still left completely lost and without reason for why without warning this happens..I am unable to pinpoint it to one situation eg. I could be on my Xbox or watching the Tv, i could be laying in bed or in the middle of town etc. Thete is as i have pointed out no explanation of a life experience as to why this happens.
Please if anyone has a similarity to what i experience please let me know and if you or someone you know can supply information as to how I can reduce these near terrifying experiences i would be eternally grateful......Thanks Chris. ......

Hello i am 13 years old and have been having a scary syndrome by the name of Alice and wonderland syndrome I still get scared when it happens but eventually it will just seem like a bad dream every time an episode happens it always goes away I am seeing things THIN and TALL and my body is so week. Every thing races in my mind and I get all crazy my body is just going threw the motions and I can't feel my body doing this both of the weakness and the thin and tall thing happened at the same time a major episode happened around once every 2 weeks or so but as you grow it will happen less and less

I used to experience this quite regularly from about 9 years old til about 13 or 14. Don't get it anymore, so don't panic. I believe you'll be grow out of it.

I thought i was the only one, ever since i was little i tried to explain to my parents and friends this. Its as if everything my movements, speech, surroundings are moving at an incredible speed when in reality they arent. I always tried to move super slow to counteract it but still was as everythig was in fast forward. I was told i was crazy or just makig it up. Good to see im not the only one. Now if i knew wtf causes it im 30 now and still happens to me. Still freaks me out too

I too get this odd feeling. Actually just went through it now. Starting to go away now. It's extremely odd and makes u feeling crazy lol. Happy to know others get this but what causes this too happen.?

I get this a lot too except I'm at school and suddenly it seems like tons of people are talking quietly or loudly like an office and it's too much I started to freak out in the beginning and now it's really annoying and scary I was writing a paragraph and I got it and suddenly I felt my head point things kind of went fuzzy and it felt like my hand was zooming across the page and I was writing mile a minute

Wow I also get this I can't believe someone has actually been able to describe it so well it just happens to me just now.
Hence why I've looked it up im 21 and male.
And as you've all said it happened often when I was young and no maybe 2-3 times a year and I've never been able to explain it as well as you have so it's interesting to know that other people get it and what it is

Don't count on growing out of it. I've had the "fast forward" feeling all my life. It started around 9-10 years old and it still happens several times per year and I just turned 47. Does anyone know what this is or what causes it?
