Inside my mind is an entire world that operates at all times, like an alternate reality.
Every experience gets replayed in multiple versions and especially bad experiences. These can get stuck in a loop and my mind will create flash-forwards like alternate futures of how something is going to play out good or bad.
When I was about 7 my parents were taking me to see the airport and planes, in the car I had a vision of myself wandering onto a plane and ending up in another country. It was like a premonition from Final Destination. I screamed and cried in the car (meltdown perhaps) that we can't go, something bad is going to happen and we have to turn around. So we did and I never went near an airport or plane for the rest of my life.
If I have a conflict with someone, my mind will replay the whole thing over and over and over again as if I have a virtually reality machine plugged directly into my brain. I have shutdowns or meltdown for hours. The conflict can replay for days, weeks or even years and will cause significant distress.
Does anyone else experience anything like this?
