At the time I just knew I felt different. It was like my whole outlook on life had changed. I felt like I'd woken up; I started half-seriously counting my life from the time that I noticed the change. Telling myself it was okay that I hadn't found ways to support myself yet when I'd only been alive 1-2 years.
Later on when I discovered my kitsune nature and was reading about Inari, I also found out about fox possession. Some of the descriptions I read of what it was like, in the abstract, reminded me of what I'd been through. It's not like the modern medical condition or most of the legends, but ... I still find it a useful way of understanding myself and what's happened to me.
