I have had this since I was kid, but not for years. and yes it sometimes happened when I had a high fever and once when I was on a plane getting ready for takeoff which was super weird. And like every one else I am really stoked that I'm not the only one who experiences this.
Wow I didn't know there were other people experiencing the same thing as me! I am 15 and this I experienced this two or three times. It happens out of nowhere and it lasts only a few minutes. I just feel like I am in speed motion, that I do everything super fast and for long time I wasn't sure if I was really just doing everything faster or if it was only a perception... now that I see that many peoplle have been in the same situation I think it was only a perception. I think it's caalled Alice in Wonderland syndrom and that I had it on a very small scale...
I have had this since I was a child age 11 It first happend with a fever and happend spontaniolsly untill I figured out that been alone and thinking about it caused it. it's like falling inside your self deep into your own thoughts and mind and it can be stopped with slow controlled breathing and counting backwards. Am now nearly 29 and can turn it on by thinking about it and retreating within my self but can not hold it for longer than 30 mins as it ends when my heart rate drops to a normal pace it leaves the body weak and worn out but during the fast forward all senses are hightend. If I abuse my body by doing it over often I suffer from cluster headaches and ringing in the ears. Although I can start the sensation and stop it once it accours I can not stop it from hapning of its own accord. And as a child the sensation filled me with panic and fear controlled breathing and company was the only thing to subside the feeling.
I've been having this feeling for as long as I can remember. Today I finally found something that might very well be what we're all experiencing.
It's a thing called Racing thoughts, and can be caused by things such as Bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep deprivation and the use of amphetamines.
