I don't even know how to explain this I've been scouring the internet and different forums and can't find anything remotely like this. Let's see if I can explain it correctly...

Ever since I was a kid this wierd thing would happen to me out of nowhere (or at least I couldn't find a pattern). Basically, life would be going as normal and then all of a sudden in my head everything would speed up to 1.5 to 2 times normal speed. All sounds would do this and I would hear a voice in my head that sounded like my aunt that was also going 1.5 to 2 times normal speed. It would be a horrible feeling in my head. The closest I can describe the feeling is it was like someone taking their nails and running them over a chalkboard over and over. You just want to rip your head off to make it stop! It wouldn't last more than a couple minutes, but I could only get through it if I left everyone I was with and went somewhere quiet to close my eyes. The more external stimulation there was, the worse it was.

This started when I was a little kid and as I got older happened less and less. I hadn't had it happen for the last 5-6 years until about 2 weeks ago. Then it hit me out of the blue when I was getting ready to move. I've never told anyone or mentioned it to anyone. I've been too scared to. I've been dx GAD, so I'm wondering if that could just be an anxiety thing from stress or something. I never could figure out a pattern for it happening as a kid, but I didn't realize I had anxiety back then.

From what I've been reading of people's descriptions, it is not "racing thoughts". And because of the anxiety, I have a hard time getting my mind to shut up. This isn't like either of those. That's why I'm lost. Has anyone else had anything remotely like this or know what it is? I'm sure hoping it is only an anxiety issue.
