Hi guys,
so I've been having this thing going on for a while which I don't even know whether this should be posted here on in another subforum (e.g. General anxiety). I thought it's health related because I think I might be mentally ill.
It's this: Sometimes random sounds in my enviroment (like rain, wind, fan, crickets, airplane) contain elements that kind of trigger a word impression in my head. For example, I will take a shower and the constant sssshhhhh will trigger a word in my head that contains 'sh', like 'washing machine'.Or the fan at night will go fffffffff and all of a sudden the word 'folding' will pop up. I don't pay attention to it, it just pops up. It's like mind pops that are triggered by sounds.
It scares me because it feels like my mind processes sounds into langauge. I goodled a condition called "musical ear syndrome" which seems similar, it's when people here music in random background noise such as fans etc. It's apparently related to hearing loss, which I also have. But with me, it's not music, it's words. Sooooo uncanny.
Anyone else experience it?
