unusual 'fast feeling' in my head

I'm a 13 girl and the samethings happened but when I talk it very slow and it gets harder to breath. But for the first time today it happens in the morning it always happens in the middle of the night and also today i noticed that I'm very shake its very scary I don't know what to do

It's good to see that I'm not alone with this, I haven't experienced it for a while but it just happened. Like everyone else it occurred much more when I was younger but is not much less frequent. It doesn't worry me, it's just annoying. It's really good to see that I'm not crazy though and other people get the same thing :)

I get the same feeling and same circumstances as you, wish I knew what it was though

Hi I'm so happy I'm not the only one! This just happened to me again, I used to get it a lot as a little kid and it's been a while since it's happened.

I was just in the car, my dad was driving, and all of a sudden the car felt like it was going extremely fast, when I looked out the window I saw we were going a normal speed but I still felt like we were going extremely fast. Also, every time this happens and I'm holding my phone it feels extremely heavy. I put my phone down and when I felt my hands and knuckles they felt small and delicate and breakable. I hate when this happens cuz for me i start panicking a little and I have to remind myself to breathe deeply and calm down.

But this makes me wonder, when I experience this is it like I'm experiencing all the things around me for the first time? Like if I'd never driven in a car before, and I did it for the first time, is this what it would be like? That might sound weird but that's how it feels.

I think you're on to something here. I think it's a bodily reaction to a cortisol imbalance.

I get the same feelings and i am like 13

This happens to me too it feels like there is someone screaming at me in my head and all my thoughts and noises around me jumble together and I start to sweat and feel anxious

This has been happening to me the past few days in the morning for 10 min tops, but I relate to my voice/thoughts in my head speak very slow but urgent, when Im in school and doing work I feel like I am writing very slow but Im not, and Im getting very scared by it. I cant remember what my thoughts say but I try to pray and take my mind off of it when its happening but it wont. I've felt very off since this has been happening. The feeling is the same from when I had fever nightmares as a kid, things would be getting bigger and smaller like pillars falling on me and I would try to run and jump. But the sensation is the same in my brain and I dont know if this is caused by stress cause of all these exams but I dont know Please help

Me as and right now I am 16 and it just happen I hate it but it's not big it's just very weird

OMG!! I HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW!! I was looking on the internet about this, and I can't believe that there are people out there who has this too! But along with the fast feeling, it also feels like everything's really loud. Like the typing noise on my phone sounds like it's in a mini speaker.

Im amazed that others feel this way as well. I used to have dreams with this feeling coinciding within. I also have this voice in my head that sounds like someone shouting whispers. Also there is this feeling of me becoming smaller and larger. I don't know how to explain it other than a mess of contradicting feelings that I can't shake for extended periods of time. I'm 27 now, and it only happens once every few months, but I've been familiar with this for as long as I remember. If there is anyone that knows how to snap out of it , I would love to know. I've tried everything, meditating, distracting myself, mantras, yet nothing seems to work. Thank you, and it is a relief to know I'm not alone.

This is crazy I saw this site and new responses. I've had this on and off since I was a kid, I've always had headaches since I was a kid. I get tunnel vision then my own voice is frenzied loud sometimes scared. Everything is going so fast my arms feel short things feel closer. It feels like there are a million neurons going off in brain at a time. During it I'm usually in control though one time I was sitting there and it hit me and suddenly I felt like this was going to kill me it got worse the room spun around the fast feeling got worse and I felt like I was going to die. I got up to go say good bye to young kids because I thought I was going to never see them again during this entire time a loud voice in my head was screaming please make this stop. My boyfriend came in grabbed me and sat me in his lap and told me snap out of it eventually I did. Another time I was driving and I couldn't concentrate on the road because I felt like I was going to fast and I knew I wasn't, my own voice was to loud to concentrate. These episodes seem to be getting more intense followed by severe debilitating migraines at times. sometimes no migraines just the "attack". I'm going to see a neurologist and get ct scans done this week. I hope they can help if it is this alice in wonderland syndrome, vertigo, I hope they can help control it.

My son has started to have this happen very frequently and recently while he is awake. He is very scared by it.

He also has fever hallucinations anytime he gets sick. He is just getting over the flu and strep throat. But that typically only occurred when he was asleep.

Does anyone think this is evil? My son says sometimes someone or people will yell mean things to him and once "it" told him his parent were dead

I know exactly what you mean! It usually occurs when I am alone in my room studying or something... The cars outside seem to go faster and are louder, people talking downstairs seems to be urgent and louder and I feel very lonely. does anyone know what this might be? Any connection to stress?

Sounds like dissociation. Do you find yourself 'spacing out', have you dealt with depression and anxiety and possibly been diagnosed as bi-polar? Do you feel 'far away' from yourself?

It's so common, and so frequently misdiagnosed. It wreaked havoc in my life until, at 35, I had a 'breach of reality'. If this is you, friend, talk to someone, please.
