I was just in the car, my dad was driving, and all of a sudden the car felt like it was going extremely fast, when I looked out the window I saw we were going a normal speed but I still felt like we were going extremely fast. Also, every time this happens and I'm holding my phone it feels extremely heavy. I put my phone down and when I felt my hands and knuckles they felt small and delicate and breakable. I hate when this happens cuz for me i start panicking a little and I have to remind myself to breathe deeply and calm down.
But this makes me wonder, when I experience this is it like I'm experiencing all the things around me for the first time? Like if I'd never driven in a car before, and I did it for the first time, is this what it would be like? That might sound weird but that's how it feels.
Im amazed that others feel this way as well. I used to have dreams with this feeling coinciding within. I also have this voice in my head that sounds like someone shouting whispers. Also there is this feeling of me becoming smaller and larger. I don't know how to explain it other than a mess of contradicting feelings that I can't shake for extended periods of time. I'm 27 now, and it only happens once every few months, but I've been familiar with this for as long as I remember. If there is anyone that knows how to snap out of it , I would love to know. I've tried everything, meditating, distracting myself, mantras, yet nothing seems to work. Thank you, and it is a relief to know I'm not alone.

This is crazy I saw this site and new responses. I've had this on and off since I was a kid, I've always had headaches since I was a kid. I get tunnel vision then my own voice is frenzied loud sometimes scared. Everything is going so fast my arms feel short things feel closer. It feels like there are a million neurons going off in brain at a time. During it I'm usually in control though one time I was sitting there and it hit me and suddenly I felt like this was going to kill me it got worse the room spun around the fast feeling got worse and I felt like I was going to die. I got up to go say good bye to young kids because I thought I was going to never see them again during this entire time a loud voice in my head was screaming please make this stop. My boyfriend came in grabbed me and sat me in his lap and told me snap out of it eventually I did. Another time I was driving and I couldn't concentrate on the road because I felt like I was going to fast and I knew I wasn't, my own voice was to loud to concentrate. These episodes seem to be getting more intense followed by severe debilitating migraines at times. sometimes no migraines just the "attack". I'm going to see a neurologist and get ct scans done this week. I hope they can help if it is this alice in wonderland syndrome, vertigo, I hope they can help control it.
He also has fever hallucinations anytime he gets sick. He is just getting over the flu and strep throat. But that typically only occurred when he was asleep.
Does anyone think this is evil? My son says sometimes someone or people will yell mean things to him and once "it" told him his parent were dead
It's so common, and so frequently misdiagnosed. It wreaked havoc in my life until, at 35, I had a 'breach of reality'. If this is you, friend, talk to someone, please.
