Just realized I visualize everything

I’ve been having mystery health issues lately which any person would stress over. Honestly though, I just realized I’m very sensitive to body sensations because I visualize everything. Feeling has a color, taste, smell, every sensory input has a color. Music is just the strongest.

When my body messes up for whatever reason, I automatically visualize every sensation. It’s overwhelming to have multiple minor visualizations when I already have them from the environment and my own thoughts.

Music used to help drown it out because it’s color is so strong, but my brain has gotten so good at putting the visuals into boxes, it’s not enough to distract. So I don’t just feel when my body or mind does something, I see it. I then can’t figure out if the lightheadedness is from the health issue or sensory overload.

I love my synesthesia when it comes to music and writing, but I never realized how it overwhelms me on a sensory level, cause my brain just naturally works this way.
