I've just had the wierdest experience of my life.
I have diabetes and the level of sugar in my blood dropped significantly.
My mind went into overdrive but i couldn't focuse on any thought.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Have you experimented with drugs before. Mind describing the feeling further.

SWIM had way too much of some very strong weed for the second time of trying it. Alone and in a negative cycle of paranoia/dread, focusing on a single thought for more than 1 to 2 seconds max was impossible. The intensity of the loss of control over thoughts was very scary. It wasn't until waking up the next day that "sanity" returned.

Trying to sleep was the only option... sleep wouldn't come until after about an hour of a nightmarish clusterfuck of the mind. That crap must have been laced.

Did you slowly/gradually gain back your focus or was it more of a instantaneous snap back? Did you just find it weird and not at all scary?

No drugs but yeah could not "focus" thoughts. It's from one of my past mental disorders. To me it felt like separating the mind from the body, hears so many thoughts in my head, and felt like the world is "showing it's true unrealistic image". I don't know if that made any sense but that was how it was. It was truly thinking outside of your head. Or maybe it was simply some sort of mental defect.

yes, far too often it seems. I've had plenty of bloodwork the last 5 years and no doctor has said anything about me being diabetic. So perhaps we have experienced a similar phenomenon with differing causes or your experience happening while your blood sugar dropped is coincidental.

I'll try to describe what it is like for me and you tell me if it sounds familiar.

My mind goes from one thought to another. Rapid disjointed thoughts. My concious control seems like a distant voice yelling out "slow down!" or "Wait! Go back to that!" but you do niether. A few minutes later it passes. Best I can do. Sound familiar?

Yes, it was something like this.
It was gone when I ate some sugar tough.

I'm insulin resistant and that is similar to what I experience when my blood sugar is low. I just can't think straight and focusing is right out. Someone who's been around to watch my blood sugar level fall has said it's like a top spinning down.
