Very strange sensation?

Posted , 39 users are following.

So iv had this new symptom for a while now

It's hard to explain but it feels like for 1-2 seconds I zone out/black out/go unconscious/die/out of body experience/shock in chest and head

It's kind of like I forget I'm alive for a second and come back or like I'm drifting in and out of consciousness and I feel a little shock

I don't actually pass out or see black or anything like that though

Does anyone understand? Or have this?

I don't even know what to say to my doctor it sounds strange

    Ive been on google for like 45 min now trying to describe what im feeling. i googled "i feel like my vision twitches for a quick second" but all that came up was epalepsy.. and i got freaked out and thought id continue my search bc i was like ok, theres bo way. im 28.. grew up active. well anyway, now i searched "i feel like im falling for a quick second" . and i clicked on your "link". when i say falling, the best way i can describe it is if you were Riding in a car and not paying attention and the car suddenly went through a drop. And your stomach almost i wanna say lifts up. well yeah that kind of feeling. i get that feeling in my stomach, and almost like a head rush at the same time. and my vision like glitches. idk, its soo hard to describe. but as i was reading your description... i was like yea, thats it. i think thats it. im not gonna lie, ive been abusing opiates lately gere the last few months. im actually getting off of them, im in the proccess now. but yea im worried what it could be. my fiance has been bery supportive. shes nothing close to a drug user. shes a straight edge girl, whos in school for pharmacudical sales (guys please exuse ny spelling on some of these words) and shes such a sweet heart, shes been supportive and if it wasnt for her, i highly dount id be getting off of them. anyway. i have been pretty depressed at times in the time of my drug use. ive also just felt like im dying for some reason, like i wouldnt be high. something just tells me im not healthy. well she woukd say its my anixiety. but i grew up pretty rough, like i wouldnt really conider myself sensitive to most things. so im thinking i dont panic, i dont have anixiety. but idk. if anyone reading can help, please let me know something. shoukd i be worried? have tou found anything out since your post? thanks for reading.

      Did you find out what this is? I've been dealing with it for a year now.... It freaks me out still

  • Posted

    These posts describe something i have experienced many many times but struggled to put into words. i kept saying, i felt as if i was blinking out! My entire being!

    its a weird feeling!

    I am not anxious or nervous, I am quite calm and at ease.

    i have experienced trauma in my body, 4 major back surgeries, several procedures and injections, shoulder rebuilt, skin cancer removed, appendectomy, bleeding ulcers (insaids) repaired.... all this within a 4 year period!

    I pastored for 25 years and was a General Contractor for 30+ years. For the most part i was very healthy up and until all the above!

    Hardest part - not being able to work and do things as before.....

    i experienced the blinking out before all this but seems like its happening more often now.

    sounds selfish and crazy but its good to know im not alone in this!

    this is the most scariest thing ive ever had to deal with. , around two weeks ago from today feb 28, i took mushrooms and had a bad trip where i felt as if i lost my mind and went insane. i was feeling a little off for a few days but i had taken psilocybin before and know youll feel weird for a couple days .after around a week , i still didnt feel like myself , it felt like i was in the backseat of my mind , an out of body experience , and it started feeling like i was tripping again . i began getting really bad anxiety and started sleeping in my moms room. after a few days of the restless nights and confusion , i still didnt feel like myself. the past 4-5 days it started getting really bad. i wanted to ride it out and wait till it was over but in desperation , i didnt want to feel like i was tripping all day and not feel like my self, so i took my vyvance medication to see if it would focus my mind . and it did, but theres a downside., id wake up the moment i closed my eyes and it feels like i got no sleep at all . the moment i wake up its instant heart racing anxiety, and it feels like im tripping, this was going on the whole 2 weeks. so these past 4-5 days taking my medicine calms me down and brings me back to reality . but the thing is im STILL not me. I feel like I’m present,but it’s like I’m a young kid or someone who doesn’t know any better ;mindset wise. I’m easily influenced by emotions, but I already start figuring things out fast , after a few hours of doing everyday things like being around my friends or doing any simple tasks. This is what I do; I do them as if I’ve never done it before ,and I instantly realize, wait a second I usually do this the most efficient and close to perfect way,and As I do things throughout the day ,who I am and everything I’ve come to live by from past experiences starts coming back to me, I have morals , I have dreams , I have goals , and I feel like I don’t need to question myself anymore. After my first trip on lsd , I started changing my life for the better and did things the most efficient way , and that’s what I’m used to now, I let my experience help me think about things with a new and most effective perspective and mindset on life. so at this point at the end of the day when I come back to all my conclusions and live based off my experiences,I’m comfortable being alone and who I am, I’m just chillin so to say. Nothing bothers me and nothing could take my mind off what I love or take control of my mind period. But when I go to sleep , and wake up, I reset this whole cycle And have to do it all over again. This is killing me inside . I don’t want to have to do this everyday , im only 17 im so confused on what could be happening to me , please if you have any answers , reply.

    I had an experience this morning, for the first time ever, and trying to search for anything similar led me here. I am wondering if it sounds familiar to what others here are experiencing. It happened while I was still asleep, but was definitely not a dream, instead it interrupted my dream and sleep.

    Everything I'm going to describe here happened very quickly, in a matter of a second or two, at least that's how it felt to me. Hard to know for sure since I was asleep at the time it started.

    I was dreaming, but suddenly it was like the lights got switched off. My dream just stopped, everything turned completely black. I was immediately aware that I had been dreaming, and was no longer.

    Then it felt as though my body switched off, in the same way a light does. Difficult to describe, other than to say it was as if my body just ceased existing.

    Immediately after that, there was a short buzzing sound and then the same thing happened to my consciousness. Click, gone. It was as if I ceased to exists, entirely, for just a split second. Of course, not existing, I have no idea how long it really lasted, but it felt immediate to me that I was "switched back on".

    The best word I can use to describe this sensation is a reboot. Like the universe just turned off for a second, then turned back on.

    When the universe turned back on, my eyes opened, I was fully awake, my heart was racing faster than I have ever felt, and I could feel adrenaline pumping through my system, but my mind was completely calm.

    It wasn't scary at all to me, but that's a personal thing. Still very bizarre. If it happens again I'll post about it.

    I also sometimes get the sensation, but it was constant in my middle school years. I would practice this sensation in front of the mirror (how I did that was I would look at myself and I would look at my reflection and pretend I was my reflection and I had never seen me before, I would try and convince my brain that I had never seen this body before and put my mind away from my body while staring into my reflection's eyes).

    I don’t remember why I dropped this practice. Here is an explanation of what it feels like for me (it feels like my brain is floating, a faint buzzing sensation in my head, it feels like my soul embodiment is wavering back-and-forth more like side-to-side, I don’t know but my body feels fuzzy in this moment).

      Yes, I was able to do this when I was younger. I would stare into a mirror and repeat I cannot believe I'm not Bryan and within a few minutes its almost like you're no longer inside if your body. WTF I thought i was the only one. You described it perfectly Id become the reflection in the mirror.

    So thankful I have found this thread. I too have these strange sensations where I feel my entire existence has just been rebooted. It feels like a strange in and out of consciousness sensation that last a fraction of a second. I feel like I am shutting down and then a quick surge brings it back online. I could never explain until reading what others have experienced. I tried explaining it to my doctor 20 years ago with no luck so I don't talk about it to anyone. My wife would be so p****d but now I feel like I can explain it better. Maybe stress I do have a high stress career choice. I am not the best at getting adequate rest which I am sure does not help. But I'll post more when and if I can get answers. Be blessed all!!!
