I can't explain it other than to say it feels like smoking pot -- but x100. It comes on suddenly and without me doing anything different. Today I was at the store with my friend and I felt like I was in another world. Not delusional, but completely disconnected from reality. (Maybe it is a delusion.) There was definitely a "time warp" element too. Five minutes felt like hours.

My psychiatrist doesn't know what causes it but also doesn't seem too worried about it, and said I shouldn't be either.

All I know is that it's one of the scariest experiences I have ever had.

Has this ever happened to anyone else??
I get something similar to what you are describing when I think I am in a manic state or going into one. It is not so much terrifying to me at the time cause I only do things that make me feel good. That is the problem though, when I crash it is bad. I don't get like that a lot but the times I had the crashes were 100X worse than the high ever was in many, many ways.
