Recently, I've had problems which I think are due to my brain mis-interpreting sensory information. It's almost like audio or visual hallucinations, but not quite
For example, I'll be sitting at a desk with a pen in front of me, and 5 minute after I sit down, I'll jump because of the pen- like what I would do if the pen suddenly appeared there. I also interpret my floaters as spiders, or flies. And I don't just mean I see spots, and wonder what they are, but I see something I am 100% sure is a spider...except it isn't. And reflections really bother me- if I look at/move towards anything slightly reflective, it always throws me off- even though it didn't a couple of weeks ago.
Other examples would be banging a bag against my wall, and hearing someone speaking to me instead, or just not recognizing common noises. And I am always mis-hearing people when they talk to me. Or when I take my pills, it sometimes feels like they're stuck between my lip and my teeth, instead of on the back of my tongue. etc., etc.
Does anyone have any experience with something like this? It's very frustrating, because it means I've become very jumpy. I jump at almost every noise because I don't know what it is/ mis-hear it, and then my eyes make me jumpy too. (very appropriate for halloween, but not otherwise
)
Thanks!
Nicole
