Feel like everything is moving slow but my mind is going really fast almost screaming at me.

Hello all,
I know this sounds crazy but i swear this is what it feels like. No doctor has ever told me that I have panic attacks or anxiety or anything but... i think i have a severe case of it.
Im a senior at CSULB since its my last year it has been incredibly hectic. Sometimes when I am trying to do things fast or if i have a lot to do I feel like:
      Im moving in slow motion
      Things are goin really fast in my mind (almost feels like its screaming at me) <-- sounds crazy but im being honest
      My heart starts beating really fast
      Gets hard to breathe
I do not use drugs. I do not drink. I do not smoke. I am not over weight. It just drives me nuts. I dont know what is going on. Any advice would help and be greatly appreciated. thank you so much in advance.

Also there are voices in my head and they talk really fast and half of me wants to freak out but the other half of me stays clam and then everything else is in slow  Motion and my heart races and then it's hard to breath and this happens when I wake up or when i try to go to sleep.

Having the same problem since childhood and it mostly happens during going to bed. Everything seems small and slow but the mind, the thunking...

Wow. I posted this a few years back and for some reason I had just completely forgot about it. Thank you to everyone for your very informative responses. I really appreciate it. It's crazy how many of us have this similar thing happen. I stopped bringing it up to my doctor when I go for my yearly check ups because it was always just dismissed. In the last 12 months this has happened to me like 3 times. No explanation for it. Just happens randomly.

Hope everyone is doing a lot better and that someone has figured out what this could be. In reference to bipolar disorder, I'm going to have to do some research on it.

Thanks to all!

I have the slow motion thing too. Mine comes along with the feeling that I should be panicing, but I make myself stay calm. I also feel like my thoughts are screaming at me trying to get me to panic. Mine always happens with water...doing laundry or taking a shower. I stop it by watching t.v. For a few minutes. It helps every time.

I do believe they are related.

Yeah, I have had this ever since I hit my chin, hard, in gym when I was five. I'm twelve now. I can induce it. I just talk to my self in my head and making it go faster and faster until everything else seems like it's in slo_mo l. I do it during my singing performances. It helps with stage fright. And for my dancing performances. It helps me not make mistakes since my mind is going so fast. I've learned to recognize when I'm dreaming, so the dream isn't as scary. My dream is that a giant hand is cracking a whip and it was really loud. I was in the middle of a red circular room and the hand moved around the edge. I focus on my heartbeat and try to slow it down and when I'm calm I normally wake up. To be honest it kinda feels like I'm in a training simulation in divergent! :-) if you want tips on making it stop email me at ***@****!

hi there, I have the same kinda thing and it worries me. I just had it about 10 mins ago whilst I was putting make up on. I felt like everything was going in slow motion but it was going at a normal pace and it sounds crazy but I felt like someone was laughing at me, and smirking. it gets me really upset and it sometimes happens when I sleep. The dream will be like a 4 year old had gotten angry at a drawing and scribbled it all out, and that black scribble just gets bigger and smaller going faster then really slow and it really freaks me out. I'm 17 and have never spoke about it before but it's starting to really scare me now.
