Could someone please help me understand

Earlier today I was exploring research ideas an concepts, and getting more and more ideas. I was getting really excited. Then something triggered a memory and that set off similar memories, not positive. There was so much noise in my head. I started rocking and holding my head, and I was desperately trying to mask it and push through it. Then I started to feel unwell. I had to go out on an errand and thought the fresh air would help. I started feeling really disconnected and my peripheral vision was out of focus. The bright noisy shop was unsettling and people suddenly appearing near me was scary. I was feeling really unwell. I had to ask for something at a counter and had to force the words. The short walk home and I felt really wrong. Managed to tell husband that I needed to lie down. I grabbed my dressing gown and pulled it over my head and just lay there. At some point I fell asleep. Got woken up awhile later because someone shouted. I just lay on my bed unable to move for a long time. My kids came in and chatted to me and all I need was stare at them. 

I was feeling very drained, shaky and more jumpy than usual.

Then my kids started bickering and I could hear then fiddling with something (they are not little) and their arguing and the clicking noises got to me. I screamed and shouted so aggressively. 

This was a little while ago.

I still feel so drained, shaky and jumpy.

Could someone please let me know what happened, I really want to understand.

    I can't explain (although it sounds like a form of meltdown thingy-ma-jig) - but I can tell you that, on occasion, I have had a similarly super-uncomfortable / quasi medical event for no apparent reason.  With mine, I tend to get kaleidoscope vision effects.  It is very unpleasant and very unsettling.

    If it is any comfort to you - I've had this happen to me on a handful of occasions over the last decade or so - but have never had any form of lasting nor apparent long term or underlying problem.

    The worst time this happened to me, I was driving !  I stopped and rested for a good couple of hours without moving.  It was scary - but I was OK. 

  • Thank You Number, I will look into that when I feel more capable.
