And then what? Does it make you panic? If I smell something or hear a certain music that reminds me of when I had panic I start panicking and blocking panic. The brain is a evil little thing...

no I don't panic it's just the smell remindes me of a memory or something it's kinda scary tbh

I actually have this happen to me too.. or I'll even see houses that give me vague memories and it scares me a lot because I can't put my finger on it and don't understand it. It's the same thing with that aroma thing too

Yes mine too, it's really bizarre

Smell is a much stronger sense than we give it credit for. It closely linked to memory.

I also know that an aura is often visual, or blurred vision in high stress or with migraine, but you can have other senses too, like a particular smell or a ringing sound, or tingling.

Yes sometimes its good and sometimes its bad. I'll get anxiety from the bad. But that's where I have learned to focus on what exactly it is that's so bad and remind myself it's in the past I'm not that person anymore. Or that I refuse to let it effect me that way, try to turn it into a positive.

Not what you're looking for?
