Thanks for your reply. It might be informative that this happened to you due to a medication. Do you mind if I ask you more about it? Maybe you could pm me if you're not comfortable saying on here?

The more you can tell me about this period/incident, and about what led up to it, the better it will potentially help me figure out what's wrong with me.

I've been like this my whole life - don't even know what it's like to be normal, so I have no baseline for comparison. Again, thanks for your reply.
