My brains has these fast motion periods where everything around me is going in fast motion what is it?

I'm 14 years old and I have these periods where my brain starts to race and it feels like everything is going in fast motion. When I talk, somebody is talking, music is playing or when I walk it feels like everything is going in fast motion like everything is being extremely rushed.It happens at least once every 2 weeks but i've had it twice this week . This only happened to me about 2 times in the past year but also I get these patterns of noises in my head when I'm lying in bed and it keeps me from sleeping.I just wanted to know what it was because I honestly am scared and my mother laughs at me when i try to tell her that something is wrong and it frustrates me

I started having those same episodes at the age of 6 maybe younger and I would have them up to 4 times a day, I'm not sure how long they use to last but it felt like forever. it would start early in the morning I would just lay there and after I always felt sick.  It stopped for awhile and I would have them once in awhile now its starting to come back more frequently and I'm 20 now this has nothing to do with caffeine. And I've always tried to explain it and people always looked at me crazy even my doctor.

Im 14 years old too.  The exact same thing happens to me. It happened a couple of hours ago. I suppose you're not 14 anymore but im so happy that im not the only person that gets this scary feeling.

When I was 17 I started experiencing something similar to what you describe. It might by mania because of bipolar disorder. Are you also suffering from depression?

I get these too. In mine, there is always the same thing: a person, I don't know who, talking the same things in my mind. Laughing at the exact moment it always does. I don't know why I get these. They are so horrible. I've never told anyone about them. I wish I could know what this was.

Has anyone found any answers about this, any long-term healing? It seems like a lot of very young people are suffering from something that doesn’t even have a name

the closest thing i could find is something called Alice in Wonderland syndrome, also known as Todd's syndrome. There's no definite answers to anything, though. One consistent detail i have noticed is that this started when people were young. then in went away, and it came back again later on in life. Weird
