I haven't told anyone this but sometimes I think of this place that puts my body in extreme euphoria. I'm thinking of it right now but it's different because I don't feel like I'm 'there'.

Sometimes it happens while I'm working and it gets me really pumped up, home, driving. It's not a physical world that I can see but just a thought of a place that I'm not even sure if I've seen with my own eyes and a feeling of euphoria that it produces (?!?)

The place isn't the place though without its proper atmosphere. The weather I'm thinking about has to be just right. Slightly windy with a purple ominous sky but not enough to make you think it could rain.

There are plenty of fresh flowers on the ground and also hanging without the worry of being surrounded by bugs. The place is made of stone and has a single stone step leading up to the doorway.

I'm writing this right now but it isn't doing the trick. I'm thinking of it but I can't feel the nice giggly warm embrace that surrounds my body like an aura. I want to close my eyes and feel it.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what it could be? Thank you very much. As awesome as it makes me feel it's actually kind of weird to see that all written out.

It sounds like a beautiful place!

phoenix is right, it does sound like a lovely place.

How did it come about? Is it a space that you constructed? Are you cognizant of entering the space? From what you've written it seems as if your unable to force your way in... have you been able to in the past?

I have a lot of interest in what you've written because I have a space – no, a state of awareness – that I have found myself in, with ever increasing frequency, that is a place where I feel warm, loved and safe. I don't have any sensory awareness of my space – you're able to see and feel in you're space? I wish that I could.

I'm having memory problems but I do know that I can slip into my safe and warm space and stay in it for days. This is new to me and I don't know what to call the phenomenon. Apparently I function during the time there but I have no memory of what I did during that time. I haven't told my doctor because I know that I would face forced hospitalization but I disclosed it in a message here, somewhere, during the past 2-3 days.

Are you aware of time when you're experiencing this euphoria? Are you aware that it's not a "real" place even when you're in the place?

I'm trying to get an idea of what's going on with me, so I've an interest in your experience. It doesn't sound as if you're hallucinating or delusional and while I do hallucinate, I don't have delusions. I don't think that I do.

I'm uncertain of when this first started and am unaware of entering the place. The only reason that I'm frightened is because of the loss of time, because of the increase in frequency and, maybe, duration? I already have problems accounting for what I do during a days time but when I lose whole days in a row, it frightens me. A few hours ago I ordered an eight camera security system from Amazon. I want to be able to see what's going on when I'm in those states.

I'm entering a period that may culminate in constant hallucinations. That's how I feel at the moment. I don't know what will happen if that occurs. I just don't have any experience with that.

I don't know if I'm repeating myself but I think it's wonderful that you're able to feel euphoria.

It seems as if there are some similarities in our experiences but I haven't been able to to find a "label" for this yet. I have a "need" to label things but I'm not having much luck with this one so although I'd like to help you with more than an empathetic ear, I can't.

Maybe someone will come along and recognize these symptoms.

Goo luck.

It sounds like what some call their "happy place". There is nothing wrong with taking a little mental vacation sometimes. Just as long as you come back.

That's what is troubling me.

It seems to be taking longer and longer to come back. It sounds so sensationally Sybil to say, but I do have a fear of getting stuck because I am so warm and safe and loved there.

I have wondered if God has granted me a glimpse of heaven. I'm not "crackpot religion," even though some people would think that any supernatural beliefs crackpot.

The sun is down and this hasn't been a good day. I believe that I have been here all day and I recall that moments ago I wrote a message dismissing the idea that mental illnesses were not real.

One thing that I like about Tapatalk is that I can find threads that I have contributed to: the only bad thing is that it keeps crashing.

Yes I am aware when it happens. Like I mentioned it's more of a thought and feeling. It happens at work so when work colleagues approach me it's not like they are entering that space and yes I'm aware it's not a real place and also the euphoria it produces feels great because I'm normally depressed so I just go with it. I welcome that feeling with open arms.
