unusual 'fast feeling' in my head

Yup . .Same here..!!!!
anY SoLution for it??????

It's really odd to find that other people have experienced the same thing. My symptoms are basically just everything in my head rush. Rather its my thoughts, what other people are saying, my eyes, or just everything around me. It's been happening since I was a kid, and just happened again. It has been about a year since it has happened before now. I am 18 currently. Just a question for all of you to see if anything will connect. Have any of you experienced traumatizing things or anything like that whenever you were younger?

I woke up this morning and I listen to music and it sounded of tempo this always happens after I don't talk for a while but once I start talking it goes away. This is really annoying because I don't like my music in hyper speed!!!!!!!!!!!!

People, this is not Alice in the wonderland syndrome. we're talking about

 

BY GUEST: "listen to music and it sounded of tempo this always happens after I don't talk for a while but once I start talking it goes away. This is really annoying because I don't like my music in hyper speed!"

Wow, I haven't had this feeling since I was around 12, I'm 17 now and just got the same feeling two days in a row both starting while I was playing Black Ops 2. When I get it everything goes faster and when people talk it seems like there is a sense of urgency in their voices. They go away after 5 minutes, would like to know what the scientific term for this is though. 

If theres this many people who have had this experience then there has to be a sympton name? Does anyone know? Ive had this ass well but i usually get them right after i wake up from some nap/sleep.

Wow, it sure sounds like this is more common than any of us thought. I also used to get this much more as a child (I am 25 now), but i just experienced another one today. 

I had never heard of Alice In Wonderland Syndrome, but it doesn't quite add up. That seems to focus more of the size of objects changing, and appearing either bigger or smaller, and I can't see anywhere about thoughts speeding up as part of AIWS. As a child, I would get distortion of the size of my fingers (making them seem stick thin, and liable to snap - which scared the heck out of me - also always at night time before going to sleep, or in the night as part of a nightmare), but I am not aware of any size distortion now, or today when the speeding up thing happened. 

It does make me feel a little insane, like i'm schizophrenic or something, but i'm fully aware of what is happening, and I think in part, I can make it stop if I force myself to stop what i'm doing and focus on slowing down. It usually only lasts minutes at a time, and only maybe 1-2 a year now. 

The pattern I have noticed, is:- I am usually concentrating when it happens. Today I was packing boxes, but the other times I can remember in my adult years I was on the computer. 

- It does not happen at night time anymore, but it is always quiet, and I am alone, not talking. As a child it was always night time. 

- I am extra tired today, but I don't remember specifically if I was also tired the last few times it happened.

- I'm not stressed, or anxious, and have no memory of feeling this way on past incidences. In fact, I would say I've felt the opposite when this has happened - concentrating, but perfectly happy and relaxed.

I wondered if it is just over stimulation of the brain? Perhaps the connection of concentration and quiet, something to do with our brain waves on overdrive? Anyone else have similar experiences to this? I'm also pregnant, if that's any connection to why this is happening again after quite some time?

Would love your feedback, and to hear your own circumstantial specifics!

Im having this right now... Really hard to explain. Came here looking for some answers. (I'm 14 by the way)

i just had one, and i had one 2 weeks ago!! i remember a distinct one when i was younger on my nans couch and the couch seemed huge and the tv seemed realy loud as did every1 in the room!!! however the main thing seems the pace of everything!!!

I actually just got it and was also wondering what may cause it. Exactly the way you explained it, it has been the same for me. Even to the part where "they were quite frequent when I was younger but only happen about twice a year now" however I am 18. When it was happening I freaked out to a point, haha, but then I began to stay calm and just go with it. Before you know it I went to look up and as I was looking up, I noticed it had gone away. At the time I was looking down at my keyboard to type my password in to go on and look this up online, knowing it would go away. Haha, it almost felt like I was a drunk sort of or getting this major but different head spin and lasted like you said for only about 5 mins. It's like the second I said to myself it will pass, it went. 

ajandj OH MY GOSH!!!!! we have a diagnosis !!!! It's called Convergence Insufficiency

Finally after 14 months of just about every test under the sun, every doctor.. you name it. We have diagnosis's from migraines, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, Epilepsy, Tumour, Auto immune Disorder and Conversion disorder. I have had Psychiatrists want to admit my daughter into a mental hospital for 5 weeks, drug her up and all with no firm diagnosis. Fortunately i went with my gut instinct and now i have an answer.

My Sara has Convergence Insufficiency. It's a muscular disorder of the eye !! A general eye test will not pick it up.

We have seen numerous optomitrists. i heard of a Behavioral optometrist in a small town not too far from me. I made an appointment and we were in there for like 2 minutes, telling him what was happening.. The big and Small, thing very very very far away and then very close. He looked at me and said " I can help, i had this when i was 13 years old.. i KNOW what your little girl is going thru"

Oh my Gosh!! It was like 3 tonne of bricks was lifted from my shoulders. GO to a Behavioral optometrist... or optomotris and get them to find out where there is one close to you... This disorder causes everything from Big and Small, to very very close to very very far away things.. blurry things/ fuzzy things.. double vision.. STOMACH ACHES.... vertigo.. the list goes on.. CONVERGENCE INSUFFICIENCY!!!

Check it out... may or may not be what's happening to you or your presious baby.. but well worth checking out I truelly hope this helps someone else.. What's happening to our children is seriously heart breaking..

did your daughter suffer from the feeling of everything around her moving fast?

Yes, she broke into an uncontrolable fit of laughter on night whilst eating tea. Her brother was sitting next to her eating a drum stick and she was hysterically laughing. After a few minutes she calmed down and when i asked what was so funnt she told me her brother was eating like a motorcycle.. She was 4 years old at the time and in her eyes motorcycles go fast..
I really wasn't sure what she meant at first but a few days later we were watching a DVD and i fast forward to where we left off and she started to laugh again. She told me that was how her brother was eating.. faster faster.. She is now 6 and this continues to happen a few times a month. Things growing big and small are a constant thing.. she crys screams runs jumps.. really freaks out when it gets really bad

:) I can honestly say that I'm glad I'm not the only person this happens to. I've experience these "feelings" since I was young (about young middle school age is as far back as I can remember) and as I've gotten older they have diminished in their frequency but I still have the feelings occassionally. It is VERY hard to explain, I'm in total agreeance with that! My best discription fits most of everyone else's on here...feeling like every thing you do and everything around you is moving ultra fast, yet nothing has changed.....I have never had any adverse reactions to these feelings, however I recall having them when I was younger at night in bed, and it would start to make me almost panic because I couldn't do anything to make it stop. I eventually found that laying with my dog and putting my hand on her to feel her breathe and just concentrate on her slow, steady movements of breathing in and out would somewhat help in calming me down so that I didn't have any sort of full blown panic attack or something of that nature. Has anyone ever gotten any actual medical advice as to what causes this? Like I stated before, nothing negative ever comes from these "feelings", but I am still curious as to what exactly my brain is "thinking" or "doing" to cause these "feelings" to arrise. Thanks ya'll!!

I wanted to thank you for your post. I am going to look up SID. I have delt with this issue for a very long time, and have never known of anyone else that experienced it. Have you found any new information on what these "fast feelings" could be caused from or linked to? Thank you again!
