Since school has started for many of you, we will start posting more educational or lecture styled based content for you. Here's a playlist of some of our past videos around psychology: kzhead.info/sun/dtWgl7CNjnh3d68/bejne.html Let us know what else you would like to see!

I have aphantasia and 90% of the time i just don't have dream or they are really short. But when i do dream i just wake up feeling a certain way (happy, sad, scared, ect) i can hear and feel stuff in my dreams but i never see anything. It's just pitch black then i wake up. And as an artist this is really difficult, because I'll have an idea but i won't know how it looks. It really sucks. I also have snow vision syndrome and it doesn't effect me too much, beside my pretty bad night vision, but it's manageable
I love your channel💕💕💕💕 it helps me learn about psychology!❤love your channel psych2go!
The first disorder is oftenly present in anime with 'yandere' type characters.
Interesting catch!
that number 8, is in Nisekoi, too much colour
That make sense..

Yeah, I was thinking that it was very similar to the yandere trope

i have visual snow syndrome and basically all the symptoms that come with it and let me tell you, it's a pain to deal with. i'm forever disassociating because of it and i will often walk into things as my depth perception is terrible. not to mention, the photophobia that can come with it is physically painful. thankfully most people only have it mild, but it can impact your daily life a LOT for some of us edit: i also am autistic and have sensory issues ontop of that, so when one plays up, the other starts playing up too. it's so irritating lmao
Dang I feel bad for you,as a person with Autism I can imagine how painful it would feel.
I have visual snow syndrome too and I will sometimes see figured (more vivid at night) that take form using the static I see around me and sometimes it freaks me out 😅
@@julietjackson8755 I js found out I have the snow syndrome and I'm lucky that it's on like 2% at day.
Or even 1% bc I never noticed having static on day, only If I look closely I can notice a very bit of static.
@@Yuki_Official_777 i think everybody has it, it’s just that most people don’t notice it
I wanted to take my time and thank you, because of you I could notice I wasnt okay and got professional help. Turns out I was dianosed with hiperfunctioning depression in a severe grade and anxiety dissorders. I just need to let you know that because of your videos I feel understood in a way. I'm so thankful to have found out about it as soon as I felt identified with some of the symptoms. You are working hard for this videos and many more may appreciate your work in the same way I do.❤
That's really good that u got to know and u r getting treatment too...good luck to u...hope u r doing well now
There’s this syndrome called “Alice and wonderland syndrome” it’s basically an alteration of visual perception and seeing sizes of a body part or external object as an incorrect size than it actually is.
It actually reminded me of "Malice in wonderland"
This happens to me but when I'm sick or have a fever Is that normal or??-

My mom has Erotomania and I feel so bad for her :( we have tried everything but she deeply believes that he's waiting for her and that he loves her. when we try to talk to her she starts to cry and tells us that we are trying to bring bad luck to her and that when that happens we will regret having said it. She even stalk him on his social media, she texts him every day but obviously he never answers and doesn't even know about her but she deeply thinks that he has read everything and he does not answer because his wife is jealous and control him. Mom i hope that one day you'll forget him and get better. I love you...
I have synesthesia. I can taste food whenever I hear about one or see one, even if i haven't even tasted it before. I once saw a Pao de lo cake, which my Portuguese friend brought to me and it tasted exactly like i expected it to. and like Amanda says, I associate words, songs, days of the week etc to colors. pretty cool.
That sounds cool ngl😯 imagine if u want to eat your favorite food but u don't get it..so u hear its name and can feel its tastes🤩that's pretty amazing

theres this thing called hypochondria and it is basically health anxiety, aka worrying so much about your health that you start to gain symptoms and have intense anxiety. i actually am a hypochondriac and ive been trying to treat this by myself and it’s working well
I never knew everyone can't see random statics in the dark or when they close their eyes. I've had it for so long but it still scares me. I actually ended up crying once after seeing the disturbing static once, it really got on my nerves. I also use to see this very bright static, which I would say was circular and looked kind of like a shooting star, every night while walking towards outside at this particular spot, and even though it was always at this particular spot I still got jump scares from it

I know it's not technically a "disorder" but nobody really talks about Maladaptive Daydreaming and I think it's pretty cool (I have it myself). It's basically daydreaming elaborate and realistic fantasies (daydreams) and doing this for hours a day. It's also common to do it with music playing or pacing around on the floor. For example, I'll put on my headphones with music and walk in circles for hours daydreaming about characters I've built up over the years and specific plots. It's really cool, unless it begins to become distracting and causes you to loose focus on important tasks. Otherwise it's a great thing to do when you're bored :D
omg i do it all tfing time. i thought i was just very imaginative 👁️👄👁️ but the con abt this is that u usually lose touch with reality and often get distracted.
Lol i do that every time i go to bed because thats the time i get to be alone by myself and im actually able to snuggle up in my bed and daydream for an hour or two at midnight before actually trying to sleep X3
That happens with me but when I’m reading a book and drawing a new character it sometimes happen when I listen to music though
i do that
I also do this!

Hey, I know you probably won't see this but I just had to say THANK YOU!!! Watching this video is what let me find out I had visual snow syndrome and because of it we were better able to treat my visual disturbances and I've gone from migraines that left me stuck in my room for weeks to only getting a bad migraine once a fortnight. While to most that wouldn't seem all that great it has had such a huge impact on my life! I've been able to actually go out and do things regularly for the first time in years and I just can't thank you enough for helping me discover this!
Small fact about aphantasia: most people with aphantasia are self diagnosed (such as me). I’m not sure how to explain why, but you can search it up and find good articles on it

I actually have visual snow syndrome, and it really doesn’t affect me, but when I was little I though that what I was seeing were atoms 😂
O my god same with
Omg me too! I was always confused because teachers and adults always said they were too small to see, bug I thought I saw them
well i thought i was seeing fairies...
Oh wow I did too!
Wait some people don’t see it?! Oh my God- It’s so weird I also thought I was special seeing atoms
Anytime someone says a letter or number in front me, I almost always subconsciously picture that letter or number as a color in my mind. Like the letter N being purple or the number 2 being blue and now I mostly know why. Thank Psych2Go for such wonderful and informational content😊

I found out what it was called when I was 13 or something
Bruh I though it was normal! I developed it when I was 7, just seeing green static in the dark.
legit when i was like 8 i was with my friends and i was like: do you guys see those tiny snowflakes? they looked at me like i was crazy, it was summer tho lol
I looked closely and then I realized that I can see tiny pixels in the dark. Uh-
I have factitious disorder and and I’m glad you have mentioned it. I suffer from anxiety and overthink a lot so this video explains it well. I try to prove myself by doing this stuff so I seem somewhat convincing. I finally got diagnosed at 9 because they thought it was a typical thing for kids to do.

Visual snow sufferer here. I was diagnosed around a month ago and when I first started showing symptoms, I thought I was going blind so it caused me horrible distress and it was extremely concerning that no doctor seemed to have any idea what was causing it until I went into the hospital and did various tests for a week, and even now, every doctor I've spoken to said they've never heard of it before my case, I'm so glad awareness is being brought to it but I will say, for many people, it isn't mild and very much affects daily life. It comes with a whole host of symptoms besides the visuals, and there are varying presentations of the visual affects beyond the static. I have floaters, palinopsia, double vision, random colored spots in my peripheral vision, afterimages, and really bad light sensitivity, I cannot see outside without sunglasses. If I'm indoors I can forget about it depending on the light conditions, other times I have to wear sunglasses indoors. VSS is highly linked to migraines, I had debilitating ones every other day for a while. I also get frequent pain in the upper corners of my eyes toward my nose and my eyes get strained and fatigued easy. I have brain fog and memory issues. I also have tinnitus and insomnia, all of which I didn't have before my symptoms appeared. It causes a lot of abnormal effects that you wouldn't think it would cause, but neurological conditions tend to affect many parts of the body. It really sucks to live with, but I'm just glad this isn't something progressive, and I recently started treatment and I'm hoping for the best! Thank you for listening to my story!
I have vss too. it really does suck, i get disassociated from reality a lot because of it 😭
@pwqshiiv. I have the same problem! Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder is another common comorbidity. I've heard some people say that fasting can help this symptom, so I'm gonna try it!
OMG THX SO MUCH FOR BRING ANPHANTASIA INTO THIS! I actually have it surprisingly despite being an artist. I actually avoid doing mental image exercises and meditation because of it. I feel so weird knowing that what others see I can’t and I draw as a way to get it out onto something I can see!
i never realized that not being able to picture something was a psychological disorder
Wait what I used to be able to do that but now i barely do it. I always just blamed school, as they changed it to make factory workers during WW2 and that meant no being distracted, so they made it get rid of your imagination. They havent changed it since. That is why the US education system sucks.
@@UCvWGv8vqxYyQa4taCrn0syw same here I thought it was normal to not picture an image
Same I’m glad I found out what to ask the doctor on why I can’t imagine shit...
one of my friends cant picture things in her head too. she always had to do something else in english whenever we were doing imaginative texts.
I thought that it was the same with everyone and people were just joking when they said they could create a mental image until a few weeks ago
Bro---Imagine her reading you a bedtime story though
First sentence will make me sleep and drop on the floor
Lol, its.like- 12:25 am right now

*people with Aphantasia: 😥*
Ive had visual snow syndrome my whole life and when I asked my dad why I saw “a bunch of dots everywhere all the time” and why I “could see atoms” 😭 (I WAS LIKE 7 OK?) he told me they were probably just floaters. Now I know what it is! :)
Lol when I was little I used to think they were bacteria
I was so silly (age 8) I thought that they were pixels T-T
The thing is, theres so many mental disorders, it’s difficult for somebody not to have one. Even if people claim they don’t they might have one
True tbh.
that's why everyone is special
Describing static on everything: Me realising that’s not normal: *fack*
I was watching this video on a call and asked my friends if they could relate because I thought it was normal. I guess I was wrong-
BRO THIS VIDEO MADE ME REALIZE IT WASN'T NORMAL Since I saw the video, I looked it up and researched it. I've been talking over the symptoms I've had with my parents and researching it more, hopefully gonna meet with a doctor about it soon on my youtube deep dives on it, I found a video called "visual snow relief" which is basically a video of static, where watching is supposed to help relieve the symptoms. I stared at it for a bit, then looked at another screen, and nearly cried because for a SPLIT SECOND everything was clear - then it got "fuzzy" again :P video for those who are interested (if it lets me share the link) kzhead.info/sun/a5Rplp2NhZt8Z5E/bejne.html im gonna experiment with it to see if i staring at it for various periods of time will help at all
DKKLSDLKDLKSDLKDS SAME- I used to talk about it a lot with the kids at my bus stop like "do you see static, like tiny changing pixels when you're looking around?" and they were always like "no wtf" so I kinda shrugged it off but knowing it's not normal kinda makes me laugh, 2020 has been my year for figuring out that there are 3592389297902334982 things wrong with me and I can't fix any of em lmaooo
RIGHT i thought everyone had that!! Now I feel bad about seeing it
I always thought I was seeing the colors in everything.

I related to 2 and 7 surprisingly much! I really often hear music, that comes from my mind, and it can be a little distracting. I don't find it uncomfortable though. It's pretty hard for me to imagine pictures, they often are blurry and I can't imagine them for long. It's super easy to imagine sounds and speaking, even if it's someone else's voice, in my head though.
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my KZhead channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙
Maladaptive daydreaming needs more recognition 💔 imagine going to your therapist and she tells you to "not be in your head too much" it's heartbreaking
Yeah i found out abt it too and im sure i have it but ppl around me say its normal?? i know its not
Y e s . I’m trying so hard to not constantly daydream. It’s hard when you have a busy schedule outside of the house, then when you’re home and should be taking care of yourself (personal hygiene/sleep) or doing homework, you end up staring at the wall for hours daydreaming instead. I want to do something with my life and quit daydreaming about being someone else in different sorts of situations but it’s so difficult to try to resist.
Not self diagnosing but why do I seem to have so many things-
Not sure I have this wait no I do this in school in the bathroom every when play games or watching tv its fun when doing homework oh yeah in the showers and in bed and laying in bed and in the store everywhere ha yeah fun..........

They’re completely normal and most people experience them now and again -You probably don’t have visual snow syndrome if this is the only time you experience it because that’s just what head rushes do Head rushes make people dizzy, light headed, confused and can cause cause vision to blur -When I have head rushes I go temporarily blind
@@ladylemon202 uh, im not an expert at this stuff so correct me if im wrong but that doesnt sound right qvq it happens nearly every time i stand up and it causes me to not be able to stand up properly unless i lean against some form of support, it also pretty much blacks out my vision too, ive had head rushes before and they feel... different? Idk its kind of hard for me to describe. Sorry if i sound rude Im just honestly confused-
@@moni8908 I don’t think you sound rude at all. Some potential causes of head rushes are: -Nervous system disorders -Dehydration (That’s all I could really find) I’d suggest: (after doing some research) -checking your medication (if you’re on any) because it could be causing low blood pressure -making sure you’re staying hydrated -standing up slowly (apparently clenching your leg muscles before standing up helps because it pushes blood around more) -if you get really dizzy after meals then it’s advised you eat smaller portions more regularly -apparently getting some exercise can help as well Please seek medical advise! I’m not an expert on any of this but I really do think you would benefit from a visit to the doctors.

I have never imagined like actual pictures are you supposed to? I still dream like but it’s like with no pictures

My girlfriend has Synesthesia. She has explained to me that the colors she hears are colors out of the color wheel, they don'texist. She once told me: "I recently been listening to songs that sound like red." One color She heard is a mix of green and red, And sometimes she can't hear the same color
That's amazing though

@Stepsthanks. Yeah it was supposed to be surprise, but she said that most of us were like a yellowish brown.
@Steps Thanks! Yeah, she was my favorite teacher that I've had - we were her first ever real class! (She had just graduated) Surprisingly, she was awesome!
@Steps She was! We haven't really talked much or anything now that I'm not in her class, but she was definitely great! A lot of it was that she was so enthusiastic. She visited everybody's house and talked with them and gave them each a card-type thing that was written in fancy calligraphy and must have taken hours. The dedication!
That sounds really cool
Thats super sweet! I wonder how my voice looks like
Dude, thank you so much.. I thought I was just stressed out because of school but no.... I looked into Factitious Disorder and I have done many things that my brain tell me to do. One time I even broke my leg just to stay home school. More things like this involve me not eating, drinking, and even cutting myself just to stay home. Thank you for making this video, this might just be what wrong with me.
Dude, I have aphantasia! Im glad to see channels telling more about these than the few KZheadrs whom share that they have it.
2:10 I literally thought that this was normal. Seeing static-like background, especially when in the dark.
For me it's very common for me to see static in the dark. Sometimes if I got up and went somewhere static fully covered my whole vision for a few seconds which I didn't know the reason till now.
yeah sometimes i just stare at the static in the dark because it's so strong
I used to see static and strange colourful patterns in the dark when I was a child but I've grown out of it. My brother used to have it too and we'd sometimes talk about all the patterns we could see before we went to sleep. We always thought it was normal.
@@KittyKaperz Same, wow I thought I was the only one
@@snuggies1826 happens to me, it happens because you stay in a certain position for too long, then suddenly changing your position into another position, happens a lot to me
I truly love her voice, it's so calm and therapeutic
Thank you so much!!
I love her voice its soo calming and I understand every point she says 🥰♥️
Amanda silvera’s voice is so calming, I don’t know why but I almost fell asleep listening to this.
Me thinking that when people say "imagine this" was a figurative thing...
ayooo same
I have the opposite "problem" I envision things way too vividly and often can't get images, some lovely but some disturbing, out of my head. 😪
@Ianna Zambrano yoooo same, I can only dream fuzzy colors, ik it represents something, but I don't know what
@@yazajag same T-T but i also have maladaptive daydreaming
I can't just picture something, like what do you mean picture the beach?! All I see is black!

why did you think this was funny when you posted it

Random Account “ I hope you have a bad day” ? What the heck, wishing someone that is just as bad and it’s pretty stupid when their perspective of that comment was making fun of that syndrome.
I knew there was a word for it ever science I was little, I used to talk to my little sister about how I would see “static” or “sparkles” especially when it was dark, and I was so excited to find out this is a real thing that happens to other people I have mild visual snow syndrome :D
Can we just appreciate how much effort she puts into this
2:42 haha the dynamite record thing in the background looks cute!
I just seeing creeper head

I didn’t realise that 😂
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS HEHE 💜
I saw that to.
when i saw the knife i was like "THATS A YANDERE THATS A FRICKING YANDERE"

Oml exactly i thought that
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!
Ohhh SENPIIIIIII
Lmao same
Aphantasia is something i never know i had naturally i have been asked to visualize many things in school that I never really cared about so I thought I couldn’t visualize it because I didn’t care a lot about it but when you asked me to think of pie my brain was a blurred up I couldn’t imagine the simple slice of pie so thanks for helping me find that out
This is interesting, I actually just learned I’ve had aphantasia all my life, and never knew until this video. It’s amazing how the internet can be used to learn such fascinating things.
2:15 wait so you're telling me that not everyone sees like that? I thought it was normal
Yeah me too
Ikr?
omg same
Samee
Yes!
I have always have a thing associated with a specific colour: people, friend groups, numbers, grades and scores, subjects, songs, foods especially weekdays!! Monday is blue, Tuesday is yellow, Wednesday is dark green / purple, Thursday is lime green, Friday is Red, Saturday is light blue, Sunday is Orange. I've never really thought about it before, but when i think about it now , it's just always been that way since I can remember :o
Yeah I’m not sure why it’s labeled as rare tbh! I have it too and so does my entire family lol
for me monday is red tuesday is green wednesday is purple thursday is lime green friday is yellow saturday is brown and sunday is dark blue
i died inside when they showed the blue wednesday!! monday is light blue tuesday is dark blue wednesday is red thursday is green friday is orange saturday is dark purple and sunday is yellow i also have it for states, countries, numbers, letters and most words recently new words havent been giving me colors to associate them with and its so weird lol
wednesday is yellow just like the number 2 and 4
monday is red like the number one and tuesday is yellowish brown and wednesday is green and thursday is brown like the number 8 and friday is light blue/yellow and sunday is yellow/orange lol I never actually realized until now that I actually think of some numbers and days as colors- I think they have to do with the letters which make up the word, the way it sounds, and things that sound like other words (Like SUN-day, making me think yellow like the sun). IDK if I actually have this condition but I definitely do often think of numbers as colors, and sometimes days of the week, mostly thursday which is brown, and tuesday which is lighter brown.
No because I actually have visual snow syndrome, and didn't know what the heck it was called and thought everyone experienced it. So thanks for this!
Great video! :) I now realize how many of these I have, that I didn’t even know was an actual disorder 😭 Not that I’ve bee diagnosed, but from what I can gather, I definitely have musical ear syndrome. I thought it was normal this whole time too. But every time I’d say something like, “yeah, whenever a room is silent and it’s just me and my brain, I have like 25 different songs playing over each other at the same time, just repeating over and over” they’d tell me that’s not normal 💀 Another thing I definitely have is alien hand syndrome. I’ve always tried to explain this, but people don’t seem to understand. It happens rarely, thankfully, but very randomly. I love how they used a pencil as an example because that’s usually what I’m holding when it happens. I believe I have aphantasia, but it’s hard to explain. For example, I can’t picture an actual apple. It’s like my mind draws an apple. Especially with faces. For instance, I’ll be like “oh yeah, I know my mom’s face. I can picture it.” But when I actually think about it, it’s not actually her face. It’s hard to explain. Anyways, it’s interesting to learn more about these disorders :) thanks for the video
i like to color words. tuesday is yellow, and a weird thing is- "daisies" in japanese, only japanese, is mint. "idiot" has a special font though :]
Some songs have certain colors for me, too. And school subjects. Math is either yellow or blue. Science is purple. French is red.
@@krakenoutofwater very cool :D
@@bloodhound.. :)
I thought i was the only one that does that
@@la.1644 nope
me: *doesnt wanna self diagnose and be ignorant and rude to someone who has aphantasia but I've literally never been able to visualize something in my head my whole life, I'm 15 now.*
Same i dont want to be that person but in my life ive never been able to visualise somthing.
i can, but its supper hard for me to do, it doesnt last to long, and if i am, once i notice i am its gone and then i cant get it back its like it only seems to happen if im inbetween being awake and alseep
i have aphantasisa, and if you think you have it then go for it! there’s different levels of aphantasisa and it’s severity, so knock yourself out, it doesn’t hurt to mess around with a label like that :)
bruh same lmao
Sameee
I like how you made the screen partially static when it was the visual snow syndrom
I have musical ear syndrome, visual snow syndrome, and synthesia. It is hard to sleep with musical ear syndrome because of hearing loud sounds and instruments in the middle of the night due to the silence, and it really scares me when it happens. One time, it drove me to the point where my family and I had to help me calm down for an hour after having a mental breakdown because of it. On the other hand, visual snow syndrome and synthesia are fun ones. Seeing the static is so cool and can be an ASMR experience while synthesia can be fun to write what colors or words to with which colors and words. Also when listening to music, I also taste certain things and people say it's colors, which seems pretty cool! Some downsides are that when I'm trying to walk and I start seeing static, it's dark and I run into everything and it's bad. I'm glad you made this video so I can find out which I have and that people out there have it with me!
I have alien hand syndrome. I literally try to eat grapes and my hand flings it across the room from me-
that sucks
Your hand: YOU SHALL NOT EAT!
Is it only one hand?
oof that sucks 😭
yea i had a friend who had that or something🤔 like it they just switched it to the other hand when it acted up 😑
story time, when i was 7, 5 years ago, someone in my class had a crazy harry potter obsession. a draco malfoy obsession to be exact. they highly believed that draco malfoy's actor ( tom felton ) was in love with them. one time, someone said "he doesnt even know you exist." she got really mad and threw the person's backpack across the room.. i think she has the first disorder.
@Alannah Allen she probably talk about how inlove Tom Felton for her. I would be annoyed too if so.
@Alannah Allen Yeah, a little rude but it’s better they know the truth.
your voice is so satifiying
This is a Video that illustrates how much we need to know about the Brain or the Neurology of some people especially Ghanaians and black Africans.
The problem with having problems is that 'someone' always has it worse.
Exactly. I can't complain about anything without someone saying that people have it worse, which is one of the worst possible mindsets ever. It could keep people in abusive relationships and have people not speak out about their problems because "others have it worse", as if the grey area doesn't exist. There's a spectrum, people.
This is so true

@@ras_krystafari3333 are you okay
DUDE, that second one happens to me. I'll either have a sentence stuck in my head that'll replay itself over and over again or a random song. Sometimes its so loud, I cant hear or focus on anything else
I see! Thanks for sharing. How do you usually deal with it?
@@Psych2go usually I have to wait until it stops. There's really no way that I can get rid of it ;-;
@APansexualMess yeah omg! I had BlackPinks "How you like that?" Stuck in my head and I only got 2 hours of sleep, it was so loud!
me too!!
@@tide4623 come on now ots stuck in my head AHHHHHHHH it wont stop All I hear is "how you like that:
I actually recently found out I have a disorder which only 1-2 percent of people have, called DPDR. (Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder) which means that sometimes I have lapses that it feels like I am not controlling my body (actually happening rn) and I feel disconnected to my body, environment, world, etc, including feeling like everything is fake or is all just a dream, or sometimes feel dizzy due to this. I usually have these around 2 -3 times a day, and usually last around 30 minutes to an hour.
Omg I saw the DYNAMITE poster so happy to see other fellow army's!
2:15 OH MY GOD IM SO HAPPY IVE FOUND THIS, IVE HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM ALL MY LIFE AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS UNTIL NOW THANK YOU SO MUCHH
OMG SAME I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL
@@teo_the_best__4026 ME TOO I-
SAMEE I THOUGHT EVERYONE SAW THIS
YOU GUYS ALL HAVE IT!.?
When I squint my eyes forcefully at night I notice static or shapes in different colors that just look like static I feel like this is in everyone it just effect people differently
Imagine going into the hospital and in the waiting room is somebody crying next to a man dancing.
I feel bad for laughing at this Jesus Christ 😂😂
@@catoutawindow2279 Don't feel bad about that, laughing isn't illegal bruh
Stop the dancing plague
LMFAO
STOP YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL BAD FOR LAUGHING--
1:45 This doesn’t happen as much anymore, but when I was little, I remember falling asleep to these audiobooks (my favorite being a Pinochio [Pinokio???] audio book) and one time I was showering and I kept hearing one of the paragraphs from the audio book for a period of time.
I have aphantasia and i remember my dreams, i am also an artist and lots of people dont think people woth apahantasia cant be artists but it is actually pretty common. Sending love yo anyone reading this ❤❤
Wait- so yall telling me seeing the static/snow on everything ISNT normal???
IKR I SAW IT AND WAS LIKE WAIT-
I WAS CONFUSED TOO
Ikr, I thought it was something everyone saw
@HanHanPlayz soo, you might not understand this either, but have you ever seen a tv that isn't working that has static? It's like that, but in whatever colour it is your looking at. At least that's what happens for me so I think so
@HanHanPlayz wait what don’t you understand? I think I can explain. I don’t know if this answers your question but the “snow” in the name “visual snow” is the statics, I think it got that name because it’s kinda like tiny white dots moving around, like snow.
Oh i guess I have aphantasia, that’s why in school as a wee lad it always pissed me off getting told to “use my imagination, and visualize”
There are other mental illnesses with that as one of the symptoms. For one of my mental illnesses it is a symptom but it can come in different levels. Mine is low so I can kind of imagine it but not that clearly like other people can ^^
i think i have it too, just not the object part, more face part. I really cannot imagine a real face, when i try to i only see a blanked out head
@@brainrot368 same here! I'm not diagnosed, but I can't imagine faces. Maybe like, eyes, a mouth, etc. but when trying to piece them all together they either fade away or move around trying to find where they fit (they never do). I don't know if this makes sence, but it is what it is- I can't really picture anything that clearly tho, it might be worse or better depending on what it is
yeah true one day i told my teacher i cant imagine something that bitch said "Just think about it and visualize" like huh?! bitch if i told you i cant imagine then that means i cant visualize ether she must have been on drugs that day or something i swear
I remember that too. 'Imagine a safe place..." Well I can't, and I didn't know it was weird up until 2 years back. (It's 2021 btw)
There is a book that helps describe and understand synesthesia better, it is called “A Mango Shaped Space” and I really enjoyed it
Her voice is so relaxing 💙🌺🕊
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought I was seeing some sort of "static". Thanks for the term Visual Snow Syndrome, would've never been able to describe this to anyone.
At night I se a colored static over everything. It sometimes makes my eyes see full static during the daytime. It last just for a few seconds.
I thought those things where molecules :/
Ye it’s so annoying glad it’s not just me and my weirdness
i tried describing it to my mom one time and said i was seeing air 🤦🏻♀️😂 i didn’t know that this disorder existed, or that i most likely have it (not saying that I do bc I don’t want to assume)
I only see this before migraines and only on some occasions.
Me and my friend both have synesthesia. She can taste people's names and see colors in letters, and I can hear colors in music and colors in scents
damn i want a friend with synesthesia like me
so what color is the scent of chocolate cake?? :D
Cool, I can feel taste and smell touch also letters and days of the week have colours and letters and numbers have personality
I do too, I have photographic memory as well, so when I hear something, I either group the letters together and make a color for that certain word, or see a disco of colors as someone is saying the word
@@rupamkumari9069 white and yellow for me
1:42 wait, not everyone has that? I tought it was normal... Like, when its silent, I start hearing songs, and sounds... I tought this was for everybody... (Sorry for my bad english, im Hungarian)
Hold on I also hear sounds when it’s too silent but it’s mostly a ringing
You‘re English is perfect!
10. Dancing Mania attracted me to this as although i have never really had a problem with continuously dancing without a will, I would dance at random times and stuff and wondered if it had anything to do with it.
