confusing feelings on fingers, "thick" and "thin" at the same time, heart beatin

This is crazy... Im 36 and have experienced this once a year or two for as long as I can remember. I just found this thread because I was laying in bed and it just happened so I said "f**k it... What does reddit say about this". I used to ask other people (before the days of a reddit and offspring) if they have heard of it and was given weird looks. I used to describe it as being the driver of the marshmallow stay puff guy. Like i am in the suit. I feel puffy but thin. And as I lay in bed I feel like a small person in my own skin or like my body is all of a sudden larger.

Now that I see the different connections people have put to it... Like trauma at a young age or migraines and concussions... It all makes sense.

I have migraines and multiple concussions plus a brain cyst. Guess its the brain healing or hurting.

Thanks redditers!

I experienced this the other day when I closed my eyes to get my lashes done. I almost opened them right in the middle of the appointment because I felt like everything was distorted. I was seeing in my mind my fingers way bigger then they were and head felt like it was small. I couldn't even feel how big my body was. very scary and it aren't away once I opened my eyes.

I also get this feeling. For me it feels as if my bones and skeleton are thin and frail. Every thing I touch feels this is way. I feel a slight sense of panic (not overwhelming maybe because I’ve had this feeling many times) in that I feel so thin and frail. It only slightly comforts me that about everything I touch feels more or as thin and frail. It happens before I try to sleep.

Also I will add that the room seems to get larger the corners seem to get further away.

I have the same thing....experiencing now actually... this time the "feel" part is missing but all of my inner thoughts are SCREAMING at me. This sometimes happens in place of the thick/thin near/far feeling.... anyone else have this? Very rarely all happen at the same time. My sister says she remembers having this when she was younger and I recall my dad saying he and his father, my grandpa, did too.... but dad told me it was best to keep it to myself.
I mentioned it to a Dr once and she immediately drug tested me.

I had a Dr once tell me it was called "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome" however the next Dr called that Dr a quack.... just wanted to share that.
Having a episode as I type.

I’ve had this sensation ever since I was a child. It’s always scared me because I could never figure out what it was. I’m now 37 and it happened again the other day to me. I’ve finally figured out what it is after all these years! People will think I’m crazy, but test it out next time you have an episode and you will see it totally explains everything. We are, for a short moment, literally feeling the rotation of the earth. The pull of the earth moving from west to east. That’s why something like a cell phone feels so light but so heavy at the same time. Because we are noticing the pull on it. The pull on ourselves. We feel massive because of the amount of force on us. I can’t believe I have finally figured it out!!

Wow! I'm not alone then!
Since I can remember fever or fatigue causes thick/thin feelings in my hands as well as fast/slow talking in my head - sometimes people sounding desperately sad. Fast/slow visions of people moving. Surreal scenes of holes and mounds becoming thicker or thinner like marzipan!
Not uncomfortable anymore because I expect it.

This is so weird, what is it! I have these memories from my childhood where I'd sit in the corner at my grandparents house, behind a chair, and my fingers would feel super large and light and everything I would touch would feel tiny and almost fuzzy. I must have been 7-9 years old, feels like a dream. And over the years I've felt the same sensations, but just glimpses of it, that weird feeling with my fingers. I've suspected that it might be trauma related, but I can't remember anything that might have happened to me as a child. It's so strange reading so many similar experiences, it feels so unique and odd that I couldn't have imagined others feeling the same.

I’ve had these feelings since I was younger. I’m 21 almost 22. I’ve have had sexual assaults happen. One happen to me when I was younger but I don’t remember.

Started with my blanket feeling thin. After that I’d get scared cause one second it would be thin and next thick, I tried telling people but nobody understood it. I just had an episode but this time my bones felt thin. Really thin. Its weird cause it’s like I could also feel my bones. I’m not sure what this is called but I wanna know

I have had these same issues as a kid and as I grew up they became less and less common. Never thought it could be trauma, but that could fit me since I didn't really have a traumatic childhood. But as a very young age maybe 1-2 years old according to my father I saw my Mom at hospital in horrible looking condition after car crash. As a kid I never remembered this, but as I started to go school around age 7 I started to have a same dream often where I was in a car with my mom driving and we had a head on collision with a truck. I guess that it could have been that trauma as a basically baby. Tho I don't have any proof of this being the case. Just remember being really scared about this feeling and panicking about it. I often tried to get rid of it by touching something really rough or unusual surface.

I also have this. The first time I remember having it was when I was in primary school and I had a fever (based on what I read here that seems to be a common thread) . Over the years I’ve experienced this from time to time. I would say less than once a year. I feel like things are thick and thin at the same time, particularly in my fingers. The last time this happens to me it was the strongest. It only lasts a few minutes, it never scared me, just seemed strange. I have never met someone who experienced this before. It is such a strong feeling that I never doubted it was something. I am very happy to read others also had this experience. I will leave an email here. Maybe if we get to a large enough group a medical school researcher could help us find out more? I haven’t been able to find any information online, so this might be something someone could be interested in exploring? No abuse, very happy childhood.
