When mine gets really bad, it’ll feel like a slow buildup of tension that is quickly released without my control. Almost like an attack. In the past, it’s actually felt like a shock as well.

But it sounds like NT people I’ve talked with don’t see it like that 🤔 and frankly neither does the internet at large 🥴

    It’s paralyzing to me. Tons of pressure builds up in my core. As it builds, I’m able to think and do less and less. The pressure spreads to the rest of my body. If left unchecked all I can do is lay down and wait for it to go away.

      I’m the complete opposite, I have to do something. I have to fix the feelings, usually in a super self destructive way
