As a kid / early teenager at night I remember lying awake at night and feeling my whole body screech at me. It’s indescribable, almost. As an adult, I have only felt this way again twice. Once in Egypt when I caught some kind of flu, it felt like electrodes running through my body. Come to think of it, it feels a lot like holding onto an electric fence. The other time was after a megadose of LSD, my body screeching, the world crashing againt me in waves, dipping in and out for hours, and there was that pain again.
Besides the pain, I could only think these words to try to understand how I was feeling: plastic, elastic, spastic. I think elastic because it was like my nerves were being stretched out and allowed to smack back into place, although now I type it out here I realise that is just drug induced psychosis.
Anyway, the feeling at the time was that this sensation of being pulled apart was insanely familiar, like it had at one point been with me every night of my life. I would like in bed and fidget about and stretch myself out and try to find any position at all that didn’t hurt.
Wondering if just me or everyone else as well?
no I’m 5’4 I never grew
Idk if I am describing growing pains or not but if I am it didn’t work because I am still smol.
Yeah, I went from normal sized kid to towering teenager during my high school years. Painful af.
