Alice in Wonderland Syndrome?

Question

Has anyone here had experience with Alice in Wonderland Syndrome? (FYI: It is a real medical syndrome)

I have looked at websites on it. Used to experience symptoms when I was young and still every now and again I do. I was just curious to hear from others who did as well.

Symptoms: see things as bigger or smaller than they are, feeling you are running when you are walking, feeling as if things are faster or slower than they are
And the whole time knowing it's not right.
For example, I would look at my fingers and see them real skinny like I was a witch but know in reality they weren't. Or I would walk to sit down and feel and see myself running but knowing I was really walking. It is strange!

Answer 1

For those who don't know.
Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS), or micropsia, is a disorienting neurological condition which affects human visual perception.

I met a little boy with it when I was an optition. Check out this website for more info.

Answer 2

I never heard of it being a real medical condition. Ask a real doctor.
As for me, long ago, I had my own experience chasing that rabbit down the whole. =) That was soooo long ago.
Anyways, good luck with that. Like I said, ask a real doctor about it.

Answer 3

I don't know if this was an experience with that or not, but when I was on a medication for anxiety and depression, I remember looking down at my floor and it looked like it was liquid...it really looked liked it was "waving" around.

Answer 4

No, I have no experience with it. In fact, I have never heard of it before. But I just looked it up online and found a ton of information on it, so hey, I learned something new today.
