unusual 'fast feeling' in my head

Guest

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. I usually just lay there think about things, sort of enjoy it and make sure my breathing is normal.

Hi I'm 13 years old and I have these all the time. It's cool to know that other people have had it to. I actually have one happening now. That's why I came to the web site cuz I want to know. I've had them as long as I could remember. I mostly have them in the middle of the night if I get woke by something. And I've also had them when I work out. I think it might be chased by being tired but that wouldn't make complete sense because I've had them in the middle of the day sometimes so it might be from being dehydrated because u can't drink water while your asleep and when u work out u get dehydrated and u could just be getting dehydrated in the middle of the day. Those are my thought .

I don't get this feeling often but just experienced for the first time in a while earlier today and thought to look it up. I'm so glad to find this forum that other people experience this too!

I'm now 36, and while people say it's more common at night, I feel like mine usually happens during the day. Today's experience was in the late afternoon. I was moving around my home, tidying, and was moving at normal speed but in my head I felt like everything was super speed and I was hyper aware of my movements. Another time a while ago, it happened while I was in the shower, and I felt hyper aware and super fast as I shampooed my hair.

I get this all the time! And I can't focus and I try and listen to music but it just makes it worst. It feels like everything is moving fast then faster and faster. I am 14 and I have had it for a while and it's only gotten worst. I don't know what to think about when it happens.

Yes, this description of two simultaneous realities, a sensation of supersonic speed while also registering normal timing, is something I had regularly as a child, then less and less and now as an older lady, very seldom. It's bizarre but also kind of cool.

I've also had these when I was younger and I just had an episode today, I'm pregnant should I be worried?

Same! My thoughts race but, at the same time everything around me seems really slow, my parents say it's just because I'm tired but I don't think I am. It makes me kinda anxious as it feels as if I'm going mad because I can't even understand what I'm thinking because it's going so fast! I'm too scared to go to the doctors because they may think I'm mad and when it happens, I wouldn't say it frightens me because I get it a lot but it's.just crazy, and luckily I've only ever got it at home. I'd just love for there to be a solution to this weird stuff and it has been worrying me quite a lot and that's why I googled it so I'd love a reply! (Sorry it's so long!!)

Wow. I just fell on this post and can't believe other people have experienced this as well. As a kid i remember it happening alot. I am now 41 and it doesn't happen at all anymore. Has anyone ever found information that can explain this feeling ?

I also get this feeling. I'm currently 14 and It happened me just 2 minutes ago, I have been having this feeling a couple times a year since I was about 7. I tried to explain it to my mum when I was younger but she just said I was being silly. I tend to jut let it pass but I would love to know how such a feeling is caused.

I call it focus.. your mind starts to race and you're thoughts are almost too fast to comprehend but in simple tasks it seems to just increase efficiency. I wonder how it would do in more intense situations. I'm 17 and I've been getting them since I was 7 or 8 and apparently medical studies hasn't figured out what to call it so I say just pick the course of Irony and call this thing, "Focus". Works for me.
