So just before Christmas I felt a hypomanic episode coming on. And I went off my meds (don't try this at home). And there was this one night where I stayed up and I felt like my senses were on overdrive. I could feel everything, hear everything, see everything in technicolor, etc. It got kind of overwhelming so I closed my eyes and tried to stay still. And gradually the sounds I was hearing started to "translate" into pictures and sensations. Not like visualizing a door closing when you hear a door close, but mentally seeing different shapes or feeling a sensation that corresponded to different sounds. It was actually pretty pleasant for an hour or two before I got sensory overload and had to take some hydroxyzine and tylenol.

ANYWAY... Has this ever happened to you?
