So, i've had this since my childhood and i don't have any idea how it occurs aside from whenever i focus on a blank area for too long, say a computer screen or a wall, things start to get faster..? I feel like i move faster than the rest of the things, my senses seem to slow down but everything else seems to get faster and then i feel kinda dizzy, after about 5 or 10 minutes it passes by itself. My mother said that when i was a child, this occured way too often. Nowadays, it seems like it has shrank but once in a while i still get this feeling. I really want to know what this is all about. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. And sorry for my broken english, i'll try to explain further if this didn't give you any clue as to what it may be.

Have you considered hypnosis? If it was someone could hypnotize you and reverse it.

I haven't honestly and i'm kinda timid a bit about that.

Do you operate machinery or drive a vehicle? Anything that makes you feel dizzy while doing these could have severe repercussions so hypnosis seems rather a painless thing to try.

I'm a student and this dizziness isn't controllable. I can still do whatever i want, also when this thing hits, everything starts spinning around itself. I'm kinda at a loss here.

That is a bit contradictory for if you are dizzy you can't do whatever you want.

Honestly, you jump straight to hypnotism? Is that because this was placed in Psychiatry and Psychology? There was no mention in the OP of any physiological testing during childhood. Don't you think that should be ruled out before trying something as unproven as hypnosis?

 

 

 

Afta, have you seen a doctor about this? That's the only advice we should be giving you here. If you haven't spoken to a professional about the possible causes of this vertigo, that should be your very next step. Before assuming this is psychological, you need to make sure this isn't caused by an inner ear problem, or some other physical disease. There are lots of things that could be causing this, but you need someone to make a face-to-face diagnosis. Websites can only tell you what it might be.

Yea - go see the doctor and see what he says about it.

Yes you would wonder why her mother didn't take her to a doctor years ago. [Phi for All - By "hypnosis" I was meaning had she considered it a type of "self-induced hypnosis"? "Have you considered hypnosis?" wasn't the treatment.]

I guess i will, anyway thanks for the help everyone.

If you have access to socialized medicine, this should be very easy. You've lived with this for a long time. I'm sure it would be a great relief for you to know what it is and how it can be treated or cured.

 

We would all love to know what the doctor says, if you care to tell us.

I will as soon as i know what this is all about.
