A Conversation for Alice in Wonderland Syndrome
So I'm not just weird

Or I'm still weird, but at least I have a name for it now!
Ever since I can remember I've had episodes like that. There are three seperate ones. The most common one, which I still experience sometimes, makes it seem like I'm doing everything impossibly fast, and everything around me seems to be going so slowly. It's interesting when it happens when I'm typing. I know I'm probably going no faster than normal, but it feels superhumanly fast!
Another one is when things around me seem incredibly far away, or much larger or smaller than normal.
The third is harder to explain - I'd get a feeling in my stomach, and get incredibly anxious, feel like something I was doing was very wrong, and I needed to get away from whatever was happening.
The last one was the most distressing. The first two could be fun, and they never worried me, but the last made me think that whatever was happening at the time was what was causing the problem, and I'd think that I'd done something wrong. Lately I'd been wondering if it was a form of PTSD from something I'd repressed. I'd be interested if anyone else has had a similar experience. The best way I can describe it is that it felt like a heavy weight on my stomach coupled with a feeling that I was doing something physically bad or sick.
