I didn’t know anyone else had that same experience, to be honest. Ive told shrinks and they all just say unusual presentation for anxiety/panic attacks
It honestly makes me wonder why my symptoms went away, but yours persist…
I’ve talked to a few people (like 3 or 4 i think) with the syndrome in the past, and it behaved differently for each person I spoke to, whether it’s the symptoms, the cause, or, as in our case, whether it goes away or not.
It’s a pretty unresearched syndrome, though the Wikipedia page for it has way more info than when I last checked.
EDIT: Another thing I’m curious about is that the symptoms also stopped causing panic attacks for me. I haven’t had the eyelid thing for a while, since it’s way easier for me to do that when I’m extremely tired, but the last time that happened I didn’t get an attack at all. If anything, I tried to actually focus on what I was perceiving, I tried to make something out. Again, very weird how it develops differently for every person.
The friend I was telling you about in another comment had to sleep with a blue light on for years because if he didn’t, he knew (even though he realized it was totally irrational) that he would be abducted by aliens. And I guarantee you that was from the trauma of being kidnapped.
Kids are just so easy to fuck up even when you’re actually doing everything the right way.
Yeah, it used to trigger panic attacks in me too. That’s fascinating!
