unusual 'fast feeling' in my head

Guest

I have felt the fast but slow feeling too, I thought I was alone but obviously not, there is one more theory and it may sound far fetched but I do believe that there are technologies that can send subliminal messages to peoples brains and sometimes every now and then we will pick up on them, It could be radio waves or microwave signals, sounds weird, just thinking out loud really, I also feel a small bit nauseated and faint after aswell, it's not a comfortable feeling at all.

I also felt that. Nobody cld explain it. The ONLY thing that stopped this awful feeling /sensation was,believe it or not, slowly singing out loud to myself. Thought I was going crazy. It went away gradually.

I just got on and I was freaking out I had to move quickly and back to get rid of it but I just came back making it hard for me to concentrate the last time I felt this was in a dream and then when I woke up I had sleep paralysis I was terrified as I was only 8-6 years old at the time and now I had a feeling of speedy-ness for about a solid minute to 3 it was very strange I think it's something paranormal also about the dream I was in a warehouse anyone else experience something similar

I experience this around time to time and it's a very weird experience, I have ADHD and I thought that it might be because of that. It could also be a random trigger of adrenaline which causes you this.

Same here. I'm 36 now it happened exactly like this. Except I would hear the sound of like a ball rolling. And the sound gave me a picture to see. I'm OCD a very clean person. Very determined at what ever I do. And I get depressed quite often. I'm trying to figure out what we all have in common. I was also a hardcore troublemaker. Broke every rules could. I'm now 36 with PTSD AND I constantly feel like I do more than others. Love,work ,care, anything. Feels like I put in 80 and everyone else barely meets me at 20. Sometimes I do that too. Very curious. I'm going thru it right now and yesterday I passed out over stress and I'm getting scared I might not wake back up

Oh my gosh!!! This happens to me too. I've had it since I was a child and then in my tweets completely stopped, now I'm in my midterms it's started more frequently. I get the urgency rush and it feels like im doing everything irrationally fast. I just had it bad and all of your comments made me cry!!!!

Same here, except when it would happen to me I would get a slow feeling mixed in, there would be either things looked like I was going incredibly fast but everything sounded slowed down or the opposite, and sometimes it would have its own sound, the last time it happened I was looking at a small red dot on my tv (the dot means the tv was off)

this is crazy to learn that i'm not the only one. i'm 17 and used to get these very very often in middle school. it is exactly as everyone else explained. i just had one while i was in my quiet bathroom doing something tedious and slowly and everything in my head began to speed up and my voice was going a million miles a minute and i felt like i was moving at lightning speed but i know i was moving slowly. this is the first one i've gotten in many months so i decided to search it up. also in addition to the small "episodes" like that, this would happen to me at night when i would lay down for bed when i was younger. i would shut my eyes and my thought and conscience would immediately move very quickly. and i would have weird flashes of pictures and thoughts that would normally be like an odd dream. they wouldn't be scary pictures either, i remember once it was just a flash of something about hannah montana lol. but i was never asleep while this happened because the feeling wouldn't allow me to fall asleep. at night the feeling was more anxious and scary. i felt like dead weight moving at lightning speed. and the only way i could squeeze some sleep in before having to get up for the school day was by sitting in on the floor in a hot shower and calm my mind. i felt like a crazy person. and one thing i forgot to add is throughout the day i would have a quick couple minutes long of the feeling and that's how i knew a night i was going to have to deal with the other worse feeling. & as everybody else mentioned, as i've gotten older this hardly ever occurs now

Having one now, eish. I always have a good read through here whenever I get them, figured it was time to post. Side note I feel like I'm bashing the hell out of my keyboard right now. 22/23 year old male, I've had these for as long as I can remember, but I didn't have as many during my mid teens. I started getting them a lot more frequently again a couple of years ago. Side note again, I just clicked back to normal just as I was thinking what more to type. It's weird, I don't feel in fast forward anymore but I still have the same altered tactile sensations I get when I have the episodes. I still feel like I'm bashing my keyboard, just in normal speed now instead.
I think the next time I see my GP I'll lump this in with the list of things I need to get seen to. Imean it's bulk billing so why not bulk problem solving, right?

I've always found it very reassuring reading through here that I'm not alone in this.

I haven't experienced this for over 2 years, and I had completely forgotten about it. It was only like 30 minutes ago when it happened, I felt a lot of vertigo and I could feel the "fast feeling" I really don't know what to call it. I sat down and found this forum to keep my mind off of what was going on, I was flooded with memories from my childhood when this had happened, it usually happened when I was in bed at night, I would feel very off and would experience the same "fast feeling", I legitimately thought I was going crazy, so I never told my parents because I was scared of insane asylums or something.

I have experienced the main attribute to the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, which is body parts and objects changing size, I've only had that happen once, and it was horrific.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

I have recollection of this happening when I was younger, specifically one time in 6th grade (11 years old) when I was taking an English test. All the other times I recall it has happened when I was in bed about to fall asleep. I have just had the feeling which is the reason I decided to look into it. I am now 19 years old and it hasn't happened to me in years. I had mentioned it to my mom after the time it happened to me in school and described it as "people going crazy in my head" because I didn't know how to put the feeling into words. Everything seems so fast paced but when I snap out of it I know that everything is normal. It's as if I know what is happing in reality but my brain is stuck in the fast motion. It usually only lasts for a couple of seconds, no longer than 5 or so minutes. I've never spoke of it again after that one time because I didn't know how to explain it in a way that my mom, or anyone else that didn't know the feeling, could understand without making myself sound crazy. I have gone through a traumatic loss in my family at a very young age and I don't know if that, or those memories, have anything to do with this "fast feeling" I'm glad I found this page and others who know what I have experienced.

It only happens late at night when I am trying to fall asleep my mind feels like it's 5 times fast. Thoughts run through my head and my sense of touch is all distorted when I touch my own hands they feel larger, way larger. I've discriped this sensations to others but they usually don't understand and it usually goes away within 10, 15 minutes. I actually measured my heart rate and it was about 70-80 bpm. This just happened to me btw, and this is far from the first time but it is my first time looking into it.
