Synesthesia as something negative?

Post Reply New Topic

I taste colors, and there are some colors that actually make me nauseous. Fortunately, they seem to be rather unpopular.

Mostly, it's not particularly negative. It's actually positive (I love music/sound -> color effects, usually)

I can see music when tripping.

If you need to be tripping it's not really synesthesia.

I also have other odd sensory perception things, and I wonder if they have any relation to synesthesia. Out of nowhere around 18, I started seeing pictures and patterns in 3d - I mean, full blown intense 3d. This has diminished, but once in a while it comes back, especially with contrasting patterns, or if I'm tired.

A couple years later, I started to experience really trippy stuff. In patterns, like carpets, or lines, or the bricks in a wall, I'd start seeing them visually shifting. In the library, the carpet had flashes and pulses shooting up and down the parallel lines in the pattern. And bright colors looked intense. For instance, I'd see someone wearing a yellow shirt, and it was so bright to me it was glowing. When I would read, I'd see the text shifting back and forth on the page.

I'd never done drugs and I wasn't going crazy. I didn't experience cross sensory stuff - it was all visual. But it was like the visuals were so ramped up, one visual perception would cross over into a different one, like patterns being so vivid that my brain interpreted them as moving, or in regards to the 3d images, perhaps my mind was sensing the visuals so strongly that it interpreted them as having depth, as it would expect them to.

I don't know why these things started or why they've diminished at this point. I do like it when they come back every now and then however.

I have grapheme- color ( numbers, letters, words, days, months ect. All have a certain color) and pain- color (if i stub my tow its bright yellow, a headache is a gorgeose shade of green) and personification- numbers ( all numbers have a gender and a personality) synesthesia. I love my it except in class i can get headaches from reading or doing a math problem from all the colors therefor causing green wich blends in with the words/ number colors wich is horrible. For example, lets say im doing this math problem:
6+9= (6 is marron and very snobby and 9 is pink and a girly girl.they hate eachother)
so i have to lisen to them argue and figure out the answer. Lets say ive been doing math for an hour. Then i get a headache wich is green. So i have maroon and pink and green all mushed together and 6 and 9 arr still fighting...
so in a way, it does kind of cause a sensory problem. But i still love it and wouldnt trade it for a thing : D

I can feel sound. And I don't mean vibration.
