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

I'm 39 years old, and it's so wild to find this thread of people who have gone through what sounds exactly like this mystery condition. It's been rare as an adult but it happened many times when I was a young teen, and it happens in a more subtle or momentary way now occasionally.
It's exactly what and others have have said: the air sounds loud, everything sounds super loud, my voice in my head is screaming in all caps, the air feels thick to breathe, and there is that dizzying sense of everything moving very very fast. I used to associate it with a sensation of having pillows on my head a little bit.
I've never received any professional analysis, but depersonalization and some kind of panic attack sound like the closest things to me intuitively, migraine halo or psychosis don't sound like a fit, or Alice in Wonderland syndrome, but I am just a lifelong amateur speculator.
I experienced various and prolonged trauma as a kid, lots screaming/fights/turmoil, other things, so I believe that might be a factor, but for all I know it could coincidentally be a purely a neurological condition.
Anyways, it's really interesting to see you and others have experienced what sounds like exactly the same condition. Hope we figure it out one day, especially if it's symptomatic of another broader condition.

hi! i posted a couple years ago on this thread and have kept up to date on it every time i have one of these attacks. I still don't know what it is but i think in finally ready to talk to a professional about it and see what they think of it. The only thing that seems to help is looking in the mirror when they are happening. its kind of reassuring 😃
ill let everyone know what comes of this situation 😃 and maybe try the mirror thing

Hi! I know this post is like, super super old, but I still have a response lol. im 15 and Ive been experiencing this a lot too! I dont know exactly hen it started, maybe a year or two ago, maybe longer? Anyways, recently, ive been having a lot of these. And twice my thoughts have acutally gotten so loud that I actually did end up hearing them in the form of an auditory hallucination. Its really crazyy, this happened like twice or three times? possibly 4 but I think at least 2 or 3. So yeah, thoughts got so crazy and loud that i hallucinated.
