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.
