Hi Judy. How are you doing? I've been spacey for several days. My birthday was Saturday and it sent me into a tailspin. Some years it does that to me and others it goes by without a problem. I never know which it's going to be. When I get depressed, I slow down to a snail's pace. So, I'm not getting much done. The next part you're going to think is ridiculous, but it happens every time the seasons change. Sunday was a sunny day and the temperature set a record high of 79 degrees, which is a jump of about 25-30 degrees from normal. For whatever reason, I've never been able to adjust to sudden changes like that. I float out of my body. I feel like I'm living in a dream and I can't wake up. I'm in some kind of a trance state where my eyes just stare and I have to keep telling myself to blink. I don't feel connected. Thinking about how I feel only makes it worse, so that's enough of that. I expect I'll be better before long.
Although I prefer to call them "flashback smells," do you ever experience olfactory hallucinations? When I am physically ill, and only then, I can smell the psych ward I was on in the hospital. That's the only thing I ever smell. Since you also have a powerful reaction to hospitals, I was just wondering if anything like that happens to you.
