"Lightning Brain"

I've been getting a thing I've been calling "lightning brain"every so often when I'm feeling particularly overstimulated. It's like a mild headache with foreboding, uncomfortable itching pressure that permeates throughout my entire body. It doesn't last long in real time, but it feels like an eternity until it passes. I remember having them in classes in high school and college and having to excuse myself to dry heave and flip out in the bathroom for fifteen minutes. There are only a few people I know who have witnessed these fits, and I don't have very distinctive memories about having them. There's something about most of my emotional episodes that gets overridden in the memory department, leaving my past a swiss cheese of true recollection. I'm forced to fabricate a lot, and people are often surprised at what I've managed to forget. This makes me unreliable as a witness and a storyteller. But I'm great at faking it to a point and living in the moment comes naturally to me.
