Does it feel like your brain is sweating?

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes when I learn something new that effects how I think about a lot of other things, I can feel the associational links being updated with a flood of image fragments, and words, but it's all streaming past too quickly for me to even try to follow anything. Sometimes I'll sit there zoning out, or I'll do little autopilot tasks like washing the dishes. I don't get a headache, but it feels like my brain is vibrating and, well, sweating.

Anyone else?

Not really:\
All I ever feel in my brain is this weird overwhelming, full, cloudy, emptiness.
A lot of the words above contradict each other, but that's how it feels.

I'm not sure the sensation is precisely the same for me, but I do know the experience you're referencing.

I have such a hard time following mathematical equations, that when someone demonstrates a higher math principle to me and I ACTUALLY GET IT, I start laughing uncontrollably. Unfortunately, in those cases, the revelation usually doesn't stick with me for long.

In other cases, though, I do get what you mean about actually having the sensation that new information is updating files throughout the database. That's when I have to put the book down for awhile and as you say, perform some mundane function while I absorb it.

Same here... The emptiness can be kind of nice sometimes, but at other times it drives me insane.
I don't feel I can control it at all. I mostly zone out when my mind feels empty.

I don't know if it's actually emptiness, it's kindof like a block. That I can't access my thoughts.
Though when I really realise how something is, I also get this insane flow of... yeah like duke666 said "flood of image fragments, and words".

It's more like blue tingle, and electricity, not shocking but buzzing inside my head. But... I think I know what you're talking about. Personally, I like it, at least when I'm by myself.

If it happens when there's lots of folks about, it's disturbing. But otherwise, I like the blue tingle.

Vibrating maybe. Like my brain can't focus on a single thought.

Whenever I am learning about something new, my brain does tend to vibrate, and maybe I even feel a little anxious, but that is probably because it is something new and I am struggling to remember it all. It makes my brain rush quite a bit, so I think I know what you are talking about.
