I've been trying to describe these moments I've been having since I was a child to my family but no one seems to have any idea what I'm talking about. It's where inside my mind, everything becomes very fast and loud. The voice in my head sounds like a loud whisper but more importantly, the "tone" of the voice is very urgent. My thoughts only feel like they're going fast, even though I can realize they're quite normal. Even moving my body feels fast, despite moving normally. The movement is more like "slo-mo fast", if that makes sense. Like out of a movie. I'd almost consider it to feel like hyper concentration besides the fact that I'm not actually thinking any faster or clearer. The intensity/urgency is more pronounced than the fastness of the sensation. It's sort of like highly exaggerated thoughts and movements. These moments last anywhere from 2-10 minutes but they feel like they're a lot longer.
It's not super uncomfortable like a panic attack is and when I was a kid I actually liked getting them. I'd get them mostly at night while lying down. I haven't had that feeling for a long while but for the past couple of months I've been feeling it every few weeks, regardless of the situation I'm in. I've tried explaining this feeling to people a lot of different times but no one has ever said they get the same way.

I've found a few posts online that have people describing that their children have the same feelings but hardly any well into adulthood. Most people seem to think it's a panic attack, when it's not. Or some form of seizure, which seems unlikely too. The most likely explanation I can find is that it's connected to vertigo.

This was my first worry but I've only ever had one seizure due to benzo + alcohol withdraw. The feelings have been around since as early as I can remember, with anywhere from one episode a year to occurring every few weeks.
The feeling is actually very benign and doesn't actually cause any confusion. It just feels weird.

Also, do you think you could describe the feeling in your own words? I'm not doubting that you get the same sort of feeling but I'd like to read how someone else describes it.
