Sorry, I forgot to say that when I get the brain-flips I get a feeling like a quick free-fall sensation in my gut, like I've fallen out of a high window. It's such a quick reaction that I wonder whether it isn't part of the brain-flips themselves. The gut reaction is simultaneous with the flips. It doesn't come after the flips, not even a split second after.

I panic when someone asks me what time it is. I have an analogue watch so the picture flips back and forth. Is it 10.55 am or is is 1.05 pm? Have I had lunch yet? No, so it must be 10.55 am. Or I know that my watch is on my left hand, so the left side of the dial, near my wrist, is the numbers from 7 to 12, the side of the dial near my hand is the right side, number 1 to 5. etc People look at me like I'm stupid because I can't tell them the time. A simple answer to a simple question. Sometimes I just show them my watch and let them decipher it.

Digital clocks are the pits. Those digital numbers! 2's look like 5's. What hope have I got of deciphering that?
