I had one episode during a period of intense stress and anxiety. It was so goddam intense and scary, which only fed it and made it worse. I'd see the same person simultaniously far away and right up on my face, space wouldn't make any sense and time was all choppy. It was made worse by the fact that I had to go attend to a thing as it was happening.
It all got bad to a point that I started getting what I think must have been psychotic symptoms (even though I was mostly aware that it was all coming from my head). I thought the signs were all talking directly to me (a "🤫 silence" sign got me all jittery) and people's eyes were all in HD and violent.
I started treating anxiety in that same week and I'm all good now, years later.
