Sometimes real is just too real

Does anyone else got this?

I sometimes feel like reality is “too real”, like colors become very vibrant, sounds become enhanced, my visual field is like a very detailed tv show, don’t really know how to explain it, I’m doing my best.

This happens like once a week, since as long as I can remember. I’m sure it’s connected to psychosis, and the feeling is not scary at all it’s peaceful.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Definitely relatable!! It happens often though, and I’m almost kind of weirded out by my existence.

I know, it feels weird, but it’s peaceful. :slight_smile: Glad I’m not the only one

No, never got it. I had slight colour distortions on seroquel. Sounds interesting though, I’d never even heard of that before.

No, I have that too. I get sensory scrambling when I’m tired.

Me too. Had it last night.

i have experienced that a few times before not with any type of frequency like you do but like you i do experience a positive emotion when it has happened a peaceful feeling first time it happened was at age 16 and then after that not until age 33 and a few times after that

Totally the opposite for me. Sometimes i get this feeling that reality is not how i imagined it to be for so long and get lost in delusions and conspiracy. I would be happy to get where you are and what you have.

Yeah, I have that, too. Mental clarity for a short period of time.

I definitely feel like this sometimes. When it happens, I’m never sure if I’m in real life or just a dream. It usually ends up being real life. I think I’ve heard it called derealization.

I get experiences like that, it usually happens in the morning when I first wake up. about once or twice a week.

It’s not like derealization. I had derealization, it’s the complete opposite, it’s too real and I’m in it. Really hard to explain :smile:

I get stuff like that too. Sometimes colors have auroras around them. I always thought it was hppd but could be from psychosis
