I have these odd experiences every so often. Its like my mind is in slow motion. All of my thoughts sound like they are in slow motion and if someone is talking to me their words sound like it too. The best description I can come up with is purposefully sounding out every word in your head as slow as possible but not having any control over it. Along with the thoughts I have this horrible feeling I haven’t been able to place. Its like the world is closing in on me, everything is too loud and too close. I haven’t been able to figure out what the trigger is though I have learned how to stop it by forcing myself to focus on music or something with a predictable speed that I know is real. It started occurring around 10 or 11 the same time as the abuse I experienced, I’m a csa survivor. Does anyone have any experience with this or have any idea what it could be?

I have no advice, but I wish you well. CSA can reek havick on a child and there is not right or wrong response, we put up the best defenses we can come up with at the time. Wishing you well.
