It just happened today. Also I am doing pretty good right now. Nothing to worry :)
It was a kinda regular day. I woke up at 6:45, had breakfast, brought my kid to school and then biked to work. I left around 18:00 and biked directly back home.
I sensed something slightly off. I was biking at 25km/h on an electric bike (pretty normal) but weirdly everything felt slower than usual. Not slow-motion but it was like I was walking.
I realised I might have had one more cup of coffee than usual. Then several thoughts came to me. Is this how people on drugs feel? Potentially there are people around me who perceive everything more slowly and clearly. If this was how I perceive the world constantly, would I be more successful?
I knew something was off. Checked my watch for heart rate. It was also normal for biking me.
I remembered a friend, from 15 years ago. He said some drugs give you the feeling that you can do anything if that effect continues forever. I also remembered thinking the brain was and is just chemistry. Probably too much coffee affected that. It changed my perception, but reality is still the same. Thoughts are also a combination of perceptions and I am a knowledge worker. Would I be super-powered?
When I came home, I was just dizzy. I drank a glass of water, laid in bed, started sweating suddenly. Then ate a bit. It took me roughly 30 mins to get back to normal.
I really don't know what happened. It can be dehydration, it can be low blood sugar, it can be just my initial thought, a little bit too much coffee. I don't know but it reminded me something. Your health is important, your normal is important, and you have limits. Those limits can be different than others. Sometimes more, sometimes less than your peers. It is fine.
