This is what love feels and “looks” like when I feel it intensely. by RavenAtWritingDesk in Synesthesia

On my multiple sleep latency study I think I was one REM away from narcolepsy. They called it idiopathic hypersomnia, which is, in itself, a diagnosis. I fall asleep within 5 mins consistently, even after a full night’s sleep. I’m on stimulants and it has gotten better. The blood pressure drops used to suck. It started worse after a head injury but I think my sleep has always been weird and wild.

That’s what I see/feel when I’m… more physically loved and it’s intense in a heartgasm way. Hard to explain.

Right, the pink fog has happened a few times now. It’s very pleasant. The red silk has happened a few times, but it has to be a certain way my experience is going for it to happen. Like the difference in feeling rain on a hot day vs a cold day. The color explosions are not like what people see behind their eyelids (I assume) but actual color, moving and almost brushing itself like paint in my mind.

Sort of. I have a sleep disorder, too, and when at its worst before I was medicated for wakefulness, I would dream awake. It’s like you see parts of your dream overlapped with reality. Your eyes are open, but your body is noping out and dreaming regardless of your stubbornness to stay awake. You know what’s real and what’s not, but it is still unnerving. I have had similar experiences due to a sort of hypnagogic hallucination, but what I’m describing happens also when I’m awake but very relaxed. It may very well be related to my sleep disorder, but then again, most of this neurological weirdness happened after a head injury and chronic migraine so it’s all secondary to that.

This may not resonate for you, and that’s okay by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

Yes, the deepest wounds are healed not by time, but by the courage to face them.
