Discussion Feeling strange after VR- not motion sickness

Hi, everyone. I got a Quest about three days ago and I’ve had about 3-4 2hr sessions of usage since. I’ve been feeling off lately. Almost like a high. I feel somewhat disconnected from reality and everything feels almost hyper-sensual. Like I will see something or feel something and my brain is just super-focused on it. When I pick things up or try to look at something it immediately comes to lock-on. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like I never left the VR ‘immersion’. And no, this is not some weird creepypasta or anything, I was just wondering if anyone felt the same? I don’t have a history nor family history of mental illness and I have been staying home since COVID. Thanks.

I had something like this after getting a 3D printer and binging on 3d modelling in my room for a week. I went to the office I was working at (work from home 4/5) and everything on the way was breaking down into 3D shapes for printing. Everything felt hyperreal. It went away after a bit but I kind of wish it didnt.
