Hi my names allison and im 31 ive been diagnosed with ocd and panic disorder ive never gotten a reason for a ongoing issue that ive suffered for the last 7 years about every 6 months or so i get this strange sensation out of nowhere were my mind feels like its going so fast and my mind feels really loud im not hearing voices but more like my thoughts i guess, its that crowded in my mind it sounds like a very busy restaurant like all talking at the same time and it becomes very loud I dont hear this out side my mind its always in my mind and I don't see it as hearing people talking its more a sensation this feeling can last up to an hour ill have it maybe for a month and it goes away for months and months. Ive asked my doctor and he has no idea he said its not psychosis asim not having any other symptoms and this has gone on for many years and not developed into anything more. I do suffer from migraine so I don't no if this may be an aura type thing im being sent to a neurologists but I cant find any information about migraine doing this all that I can find that relates to my symptom is bipolar does this sound like bipolar . Ill mention i dont get depressed or extremely high moments so im at a lose can any one relate
This sounds very much like bipolar disorder. What they don't tell you is bipolar has different levels. Some diagnosis are more severe than others. The same thing happens to me when I get overwhelmed, I'm really stressed or just have a lot going on in general. It would probably be a good idea to keep a mood journal so maybe you and your doctor can review it and see if there are any triggers that causes these epidsodes. Usually meditating or going to sleep helps me because it wears me out when this happens but I've learned that once I hear the roaring begin in my ears, I'm on a timer and if I can get relaxed, meditate, workout, something then I'll be okay. Sleep is usually the best although sometimes I help myself along by taking Benadryll. I hope this helps and I wish you the best!
I think you are describing is a form depersonalization. If a label has to be placed on it. I know what your describing. Its a very surreal weird feeling and alters the senses. Its uncomfortable and strange. I would say its a part of the panic disorder. Absolutely part of the panic attacks. Mindfullness is extremly useful. I would not say its bi polar.thats a mood thing or a state of mind that jumps from one exrtreme to another with irratibilty. This isnt what you are describing.
Thanks for both your replies i seen a neurologists in In last few days and he diagnosed the screaming racing mind feeling as a migraine aura. I feel ok about the diagnosis hes given me medication so only time will tell if they stop this symptom I sure hope so cause its scary stuff when I get it. Thanks very much for both taking the time to message me back
Hi natnat thanks for your reply i was wondering what you think when I get this screaming loud racy feeling in my head i dont experience any other symptoms i can even feel sleepy when I get it. Also I dont experience depression but I do get short temped and find myself getting agitation over nothing at times but I never get really hyper were my sex drive goes high or I become a risk taker or talk really fast. After being told its all a migraine aura I still feel confused and worried
Hello! So I know this was posted years ago but incase you still frequent the site I was wondering if you ever found out what it was? I have never been diagnosed with any mental disorders or illnesses. However I do have days where I wake up and I feel quite tired yet my thoughts are talking super fast am nd in almost a yelling manor, in other words excatly what you’ve described. I can’t find any reasoning online about it sooo yeah! For me it will last around 1-3 days of it. Someone I know said it could be a sign of a anxiety attack but I’m never in a state of extreme stress when it happens? Thank you for writing on here in the first place and letting me not feel so alone!
Well I just read your update lol sorry ignore me 😂💖
I also understand that this post was a long time ago, but i pretty much have the same thing. It doesn't happen very often and ive only experienced it a couple of times. But it usually feels like my thoughts are very fast and very loud, but also my actions. I dont knoe if that is the same for you guys. You stated in your last post that it was caused my a migrane aura, but I dont suffer from migranes. Im wondering if that would still be the case for me
I know this post is a long time ago but I also experience this but for me its not too often. It only proc every time Im on my thinking space no noise. It triggers only when I discover something amazing or red something that keep my interest on it or having a deep thought. everytime It triggers I feel so calm, even tho my thought is too loud and fast sometimes I use the opportunity to think some more because its like my mind is multitasking all my thoughts. It stop if I hear other loud sounds or if I lose the focus or if I need to do something else. At first I thought I'm in my own world like completely not in reality I can still do other stuff even If Im on that trance. but now it bothers me I just experience it now after reading comments on fb and there is this comment that I want to reply but I cant coz he is talkin about god and being gay is a sin. then instead of replying I googled what religion is not against lgbt. then I red about bhuddism now the symptom triggered my thought were so fast and loud I cant make it stop I need to listen to music coz Im about to get nervous and lasted a few minutes.
Hey i'm 15 yeah i've been experiencing this same feeling for the last 2-3 years where everything in my head gets intense like my'normal' thoughts kind of speed up get louder i saw a doctor but when i explain it to people who don't have this they cant understand it but when i read it from someone who explains it i can really relate it makes me feel more secure and better, when i was feeling down about it i searched it up and found this other fourm where there where heaps of people talking about this feeling as well check it out if you would like https://www.reddit.com/r/Neuropsychology/comments/2k6t1m/surroundings_becoming_weird_and_fastintenseloud/
hi i am 17 and this happens to me often but not all the time i feel like i am screaming at myself but its not me its my thoughts. its normal thoughts but they're very aggressive i feel very angry and out of control of my own body is it something i should tell a doctor or just leave alone.
that's literally what i have experienced for my whole life. id feel detached from reality because the thoughts were so loud and racing. however, at the same time it's not that i literally hear it - but more of a different feeling no words can describe. for me it's a mix of certain images i associate with it and a chaotic feeling. i
hi this same thing has been happening to me now for the past few years and i am 15 and i didnt know what was happening to me when sometimes id just be sat down and all thoughts in my mind were being shouted at me well they were just really loud and they were running through my mind really really fast at such a high speed and it would happen up to like 10 minuets and it was quite scary and strange and it hurts my head and when its happening if i move my body it feels like its moving really fast does anyone know what this is and whats happening ???
Hey Erin. I'm 21 and this has been happening to me for as long as i can remember. I recently had a REALLY intense episode and it was really scary. I went to a doctor but he didn't understand what i was telling him. hoping to find out soon
This is crazy I felt so alone and out of it growing up when this happened it happened a lot more when I was a kid but it happened 20 minutes ago which made me look it up, it is just as yall have described an uncontrolled volume of my thoughts as if they are screaming and everything feels as if I'm moving fast and everything feels so distant like the walls and even the bed I'm laying on, it usually happens when my mind is idle and i feel so relaxed almost to the point of going to sleep but my thoughts are so loud it's difficult to truely relax if that's understandable, there is a nostalgia I get I believe because it has only happened a handful of times and I can never forget them, I'm never usually afraid but just strangely relaxed amist the chaos and thoroughly freaked out. I'm 25 now and this is my 1st time actually bringing this to anyones attention so thank you and if anyone figures this out would be greatly appreciated
hey, i have experienced this a lot of times throughout the past month. I had mock exams (practice GCSE papers) and I had it almost every exam. I have no idea what it is and when I tell someone about it they don't know what I'm talking about. I just all of a sudden hear aggressive Loud screaming voices in my head literally out of nowhere. If anyone knows what this is called I will appreciate it very much
This has happened my entire life! It definitely happened more often as a child. I remember it being so dang loud inside my head that I'd be yelling to talk over the racket. Back then it was almost auditory, and was like being in a room with a whole bunch of people talking at once, but not being able to make out any actual words....
As an adult (29) it has evolved. Now (as in 15 minutes ago, initiating the search leading me here) it is really loud, chaotic, fast thoughts. As if I'm yelling at myself. Then my movements feel as if they aren't quick enough and this makes my brain louder. It isn't an auditory loudness though sense of sound isn't really involved. It is a whole separate, strange entity that can't be described using any of the five senses. The closest i can come to accurately describing it, is that it is like a buzzing chaos that starts in my mind, but sends an uncomfortable, chaos filled tenseness down my spine and into my fingers. Really, it is all consuming while it is happening, scary a lot of the times as well.
I Have this feeling too . It will happen out of no where . It slowly happens though. I will notice things start to feel loud and then its like someone's yelling at me. But its all in my head. Ive been having these since I was a kid. I didn't really know how to describe it when i wanted to tell my mum what was going on. So when my next episode happened i wrote down what i felt and what was going on inside my head. I was sitting at my couch alone. And all of a sudden i have trouble breathing. The quieter things get in the room the louder my brain speaks. Its an uneasy feeling, my thoughts are repetitive but i don't know what its saying. Its like its screaming at me. Like loud words are being thrown at me and i cant see them coming . It frightens me. I'm not sure why this is happening . I don't know what it is and that's what makes me feel so alone. Is my Brain tricking me? , Am i insane? . I was once sitting on the couch enjoying my day and then all of a sudden I am crying and in desperate desire of this too stop. I turn the TV up so something might be loud enough too fill the deafening silence. I wonder if i will be able to go back to normal soon. This happened to me for about thirty minutes. These episodes just happen so randomly and i have no clue what it is . I thought i was the only one.
Hi, I'm 14 and I've been experiencing the same thing for years. When I was younger and I was super upset, these episodes would happen. Right now, I'm experiencing the loud voices(but can't understand what they're saying), shakiness, dizziness, and everything feels like it's going fast. I'm under immense pressure and stress from online school(my school closed down a month ago due to Covid-19). I'm thinking it's an anxiety attack. It's really freaking me out and my parents don't understand/believe me. I thought I was the only one. Hopefully we can figure this out.
omg ! these are the same unbelievable feelings , racing screeming thought , aggressive sounds , fast mouvement and sometimes i get weird visuals also , like if the image zoomes in and out repeatedly and aggressively, i had them since i can remember , i used to get them when i was sleep so i wake in the middle of the night so freaked i would thing i was still dreaming , thank god i don't the sleep episodes anymore , now am 26 and i don't get them as often , once maybe twice in 6 months if i was really stressed out , it lasts from 1 mn to 20 mn max then i ll get back to normal really quickly . PS : i remembre vividly the first time i had it , it was when i was 6 / 7 years old i had a really stong fever and i was hallucinating and seeing things , since then it triggers with high anxiety ( more like stress induced by anxiety ) . so i think it would be maybe brain damage from high fever thanx for sharing with us Xx
