So, if you were not looking for anything in particular and claim that only became Christian after that, what were you doing talking to a pastor, instead of a psychologist?
That alone tells me that you were wanting a religious answer to your problem, and that is exactly what you found... as is often the case... as human brains have evolved to operate.
Had you been elsewhere in the world and, instead of a Christian pastor, you went to a Hindu one or a Muslim, or a Buddhist, or whatever, you would now be in one of those religions, don't you think?
Oh, but I did. That's also my background. Not only was I a mental health clinician at the time, I was also working with psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and anybody else you could imagine would be in that setting. But when you look at something analytically, it's important to be exhaustive in how you research things. In all of it, the pastor was the one who had the answer. Working on that team on the time was exactly why I even thought about looking into the category on my own time. Curiosity as to why something kept coming up, so I did what I do. I explore.
Yes, you were working with those people, but did you talk with them about what you were experiencing?
Or did you self-analyze? Doesn't every professional know that self-analyzing/self-diagnosing is typically a bad idea?

"Something" that, from what little you describe makes me wonder if it was not some sleep related thing... combined with an invisible&remote way of conducting electrical signals 📶

As to this day, I find it as one of the most fascinating ideologies out there. I didn't do it to become a Buddhist, nor did I, but I still respect that approach to life.
You didn't have a mysterious something to deal with when you were learning about Buddhism, so you never thought of it as an answer to any something.
That you sought Christianity in an attempt to answer your something is revealing of your predisposition towards it... or even prior engagement with it. Which makes me wonder as to why you say that you became a christian after this event. How did you see yourself, religiously, prior to that?
How was your upbringing, in terms of contact with religions? On what sort of society did you grow up?

Same here, man!
