Has anyone experienced the feeling or perception of time warping in speed? The last few months I have had quite a few of these moments. I would feel as if there's a change of energy pressure inside my head that slows down time. Watching the clock while it happens, a minute would seem to drag on for 10min or more. It's really strange & quite uncomfortable. Also anyone experience minor epilepsy, seizures or what feels like a short circuiting of motor functions?? Since I was a kid, I've had these "short circuits," where suddenly I was unable to make my muscles react. Doctors never knew what was wrong...I finally saw a medical intuitive few months ago and she told me apparently my nervous system is bust.
In anycase I was watching Dolores Cannon vids on youtube awhile ago, & she mentioned how people who had too much uncontrolled energy going through their bodies would short circuit & fry the nervous system. What she said hit me like a ton of bricks, & I stopped to wonder if that was the answer to my problem...but now what??
Today I happened to be listening to Medical Intuitive, "Mona Lisa Schultz." She was talking about Mystics & Epilepsy. Immediately I googled it up & this is what I had found:

2.4. TIME WARPING
Another characteristic symptom of partial epileptic seizures is the alteration in our perception of time, consisting in the inner time – Strauss’s immanent time as opposed to real time – undergoing a distortion during the attack: the patient suddenly has the impression that the flow of inner time has changed, as if the cognitive processes were taking place more quickly than usual or as if everything were happening in the mind extremely slowly.
Let us remember the significant experiences of time warping that Dostoyevsky went
through at the moment of aura:
In the aura of the epileptic, a second is lived as an eternity, or as timelessness… I
don’t know whether happiness lasts seconds or hours, but believe me, I would not
change all the joys of my life for it… In those five seconds I lived a whole existence
and I would have given my life for them.
At other times, the patient has the impression that time has quite literally stood still, as is the case of this patient of Jaspers’:
All of a sudden I was overcome by a state: my arms and legs seemed to swell up. A
frightful pain went through my head and time stood still. At the same time, in an
almost superhuman way, the vital importance of that moment made itself known to
my soul. Then time flowed again as before.37
The same applies to this warping of time as to what we were recently saying about
bewilderment, or strangeness: while for some authors it is just another symptom of epilepsy, for others it is one of its defining characteristics, and it will always be present, whatever the content of the discharge. P. Schmidt considers this feature, which he calls instantaneousness,
as essential and crucial to any partial seizure:
In his thesis, P. Schmidt studies in turn the psychology of the aura. According to him,
this is an extremely fine psychological disturbance whose essential character, for him, is instantaneousness [..]. The aura extends in such a way in the temporal universe that the patient has the impression of living an experience of long duration in a single instant.

OK so the REAL question is, how is one supposed to deal with this?? make it better or perhaps make it go away? Suggestions or experiences, anyone?
