 What's wrong with me?
#8604363 - 07/07/08 02:28 PM (4 months, 26 days ago) |

The past few weeks some strange things have been going on. I'll be sitting at my desk, or just walking, or whatever it is and things will start to get weird. I start feeling like I'm high, yet I havent smoked MJ since this past december. Things start to get fuzzy and start moving. Sometimes words on my computer monitor or on paper will start to sway a bit. Sometimes I see little things in the air that aren't really there. I'll be walking and it's almost like tunnel vision but not really. I'll see clearly ahead of me but everything else is fuzzy. Sometimes it makes me lightheaded, sometimes it doesn't. I'll move my head, and get a little dizzy, and things will get blurry while I turn my head. Sometimes it's slightly euphoric, sometimes not at all, sometimes it's almost uncomfortable.
Perhaps it's a slight case of HPPD? I dont know. Does this happen to anyone else?
Edit: I also get very warm too sometimes. Like right now, I feel almost faint, and very warm in my body.

Does anyone in your family have a psychosis?

Psychosis? Not that I know of. One my cousins is kind of crazy though. She got into drugs pretty bad and was committed to almost like a nunnery after going from place to place with no luck (not sure if those places were rehabs or if they were wards). She's pretty whacked in the head. My uncle's (through my mom) daughter from his first marriage.

So, no natural psychosis then?
What kind of diet do you have?

No, not natural psychosis. My diet. Well... breakfast I normally don't eat, I try to eat something in the morning but I wouldn't call it breakfast. Lunch usually consists of a sandwich and snack of some sort (today it was goldfish and peanut butter on crackers). Dinner varies from fast food occasionally to a pretty healthy dinner such as steak or pasta. I normally eat throughout the day though, so my meals aren't usually big because of this. Like during lunch I had a sandwich and saved the snacks for while I'm working after. I'll go home in a bit and just eat dinner, then something later on in the evening, and something right before I go to bed.

Sounds like you need more raw foods.
try mixin up some veggies and fruits for snacks at work.
Maybe try taking a B-complex vitamin.
Do you drink lots of water?

I do drink a lot of water, I normally drink water instead of anything else.
What does a b-complex vitamin do?
edit: often when this happens it's almost like I'm tripping. You know when youre coming down and things just aren't normal? everything is still a little distorted yes you feel grounded at the same time? That's kind of what it's like.

I have this happen. I have yet to figure out what it is.
I laid off drugs/alcohol for a year solid, and still nothing. I got everything in my blood imaginable checked...Still nothing. I have a decent diet sometimes I get off track, but still nothing. However, I did have a doctor find that some chemicals in my brain were really fucked up with some tests he ran, but all they can do is give you meds. Lets be honest those don't work very well. So I'm not on them anymore.
Mine all started when I tripped my fucking balls off one night on some acid. Since then things have never quite been the same. I have gotten better with time. I told my doctor about my trip, and he said you may very well have had something similar to an ego death and you are basically rebuilding it. That could cause I guess you could say a traumatic experience which would in turn cause your brain to be under stress, and possibly cause some weird shit to happen. My doctor is open to drug use so I was able to tell him about it.
Hm...Its hard to say, but I will warn you if it isn't that bad don't get it looked at. They will treat you like a fucking lab rat. They took more blood from me than I knew I had...Not only that the money I spent.

Seriously, I'd check with a general doctor if you have insurance. It may or may not be psychological, but I believe it to be physical and psychological as I now practice as a nurse in Texas.
It could be blood sugar, electrolytes, Blood pressure, or anything. If you have medical insurance and you're not ashamed, go see a doctor. You'll be glad you did if he can help.

Yea exactly. There is so many things that can cause that. I lived with 2 people who were in the medical field. I asked them once about it, and they gave me like 100 things it could be and thats when I started my 3 year trying to figure out whats wrong with me.

Hmm... I do have health insurance but I'm not trying to have 10001 tests done on me. Sometimes I kind of like it, I like looking at the screen or paper and the words start to move, it makes me smile heh. If it was something like an ego death then I'd like to keep it that way!
I have noticed it increasingly since I started eating more acid in past weeks. It had been about 8 months that I hadn't taken it, and recently I started again and these things have been increasing. They existed before but much more so in past weeks.
Coincidence or not, I don't know but I could see it being something like an ego death. I had a very intense trip a few weeks ago that kind of shook my world, kind of like an epiphany really. My views since then have changed. I am much more open to many things, different people from different walks of life. Much more patient (esp. while driving, I used to have pretty bad road rage) and much more tolerant of people that don't see it my way. Sometimes I'll get angry while I'm driving, but then something inside me calms me down and I realize there's no point in being angry. Just be patient because the negative feelings associated with anger does nothing but hurt me. It doesn't get me anywhere faster, just invokes negative feelings inside me. This is just one example that I have definitely noticed a change in.
Again, I'm not saying it's an ego death/loss but perhaps what I am experiencing is connected to my changes. I consider myself a spiritual person, so I wouldn't rule out.... i wouldnt say enlightenment because that's not the right word... an elevated consciousness perhaps? Kind of like kundalini rising... I don't know. I don't know what to make of it. I've been much more peaceful and happy with what I have as of late.

You should have put that in your first post...
I think you will get some answers now. Thats exactly what it is. Eating acid weekly will cause shit like this to happen. I mean if you think about it everytime you trip your brain is essentially going through something traumatic(its having to view things differently and learn so many things so quickly). So your brain is going through traumatic things weekly. I put my money there. Your brain is going through some serious shit right now regardless of what you may think. That fucker is going 10000 MPH trying to sort through all of that shit.
I think thats your answer. May not be, but bet it is.

But, it probably started AFTER you took acid for the first time, correct? Or at least, after you started doing drugs?
I've had something like this for a while, it started happening after I drank one night on zoloft in high school. The next day I felt really zoned out, and would sometimes have symptoms similar to what you describe.
It gets better with time, but I'm sure eating acid doesn't help.

Yeah dude it's definitely the acid. If it bothers you lay off the droogz for a bit until your brain sorts itself out.

Theres nothing wrong with you. The acid definitely plays a role in this. I'll bet whatever it is thats happening is not a symptom of any problem, but since it interests you and you're giving it attention its very apparent and maybe exaggerated. I used to have the same sorts of things happen to me and after a while I just stopped thinking about it or wondering why it was happening. Either it went away or I just don't notice anymore.
Our brains try to save energy for other tasks by cutting corners with processing visual information. For whatever reason, our brains 'fill in the blanks'. Thats why optical illusions are possible. Our eyes take in a lot of visual information but the brain doesn't necessarily process it all completely.
This is most noticeable when you're looking at the same general area for a while. The brain kind of takes a snapshot rather than continually processing a mostly still image (or parts of an image) that isn't changing. It seems as though the snapshot sort of degrades quickly and you start to see it messing up. Lines might disappear, colors might bleed, patterns may move, or whatever it is. But this mainly happens when you're looking at the same spot for a while and your eyes aren't moving around much. When I get bored in class I'll stare at rug until it starts moving around and forming patterns.
