Being a child my mother would just say "you're fine"... But it's friggin weird.

It can happen at any time. Last time I was sitting at my computer at work. I have no idea what triggers it.

What happens is I start to feel a bit disoriented... Not dizzy or not know where I am or anything... Just kind of off. Then it seems to feel like whatever movements I'm doing(picking up a pen, typing an email, talking, walking somewhere) that I'm doing them super fast... Like abnormally fast and gives me great anxiety cuz I don't know how to stop it. It ends up just subsiding after 10 or so minutes.

It sounds crazy but being it hadn't happened in so long I'd forgotten about it and chalked it up to "growing"... But I'm 28, in good health and such so I started thinking I was having a brain aneurysm or something... I'm not dead, so that's not it. But it's pretty creepy when it happens.

Enjoy them, some people pay good drug money to experience stuff like that.
Ive learnt to stay in the zone and ride it out now,even enjoy it at times.

I have suffered the same but experienced complete reverse to what you have.

Mine is triggered through post traumatic stress disorder when my sub conscious is reminded of nasty two days I had at sea; it triggers it to takeover the helm so to speak; and I find myself fully in the zone operating and dealing with everything fine, but my normal mind is a witness to it instead of experiencing it directly.

Everything slows down like beyond slow motion, its like you can taste what is about to happen and your conscious awareness is completely off center to real time. Even when others are talking to me it is like experiencing de ja vu continually for up to 20 miniutes or more .If I remain in a moving ocean it just continues.
Yeah, it's really really strange. Like a for instance...(and again, forgive me, cuz it's hard to put into words) ... When it begins to happen, I do subtle things. Reach for a pen or go get a glass of water. When I reach for the pen I do so slowly, yet I get the sensation I'm flinging my arm out there at a super fast rate and get kind of self consious... But know, in the same respect, that to others it's a totally normal gesture. When walking to get a glass of water, it will feel as if I'm speed walking(like super fast... like in movies where you see the blurrs and stuff) which, to someone this has never happened to, would scare the shit out of... It still does me. Every gesture, thought, and action feels super fast and my thoughts start to go through my head at a rate my mind has a VERY hard time keeping up with. I never really talk about it to people, cuz no one understands(and also cuz it's been years since it happened)

My friend is a clinical psychologist and she had no idea what I was attempting to convey. That further freaked me out, cuz that just showed me that it's not something that is common...
