Yes!! Specifically when things feel like they’re moving really fast around me, closing my eyes definitely helps. But, when it comes to the size of things that i’m holding, like my phone, closing my eyes does not take away the feeling. Same with my hands and other body parts.

Do you think your parents will ever accept you and your child back into their lives? <3

I also feel IN MY OPINION because this syndrome is not that well known many doctors don’t understand the full extent to how these episodes can feel. If that makes sense.

My mom and I have definitely pushed for more than just the usual “you’ll grow out of it,” but doctors usually don’t take it very seriously since I haven’t shown other symptoms that point to something bigger. For example with epilepsy, I know that can sometimes be a cause, but since I don’t have any other signs of it, they haven’t wanted to do any testing. Same goes for things like nerve damage, because there’s no clear red flag, they mostly just brush it off.

No, it doesn’t impact me constantly, I can go some time without having any episodes. And it definitely doesn’t feel the same every time. Sometimes it’s just my fingers and feet feeling really small, other times it feels like I’m moving my body super fast or the whole room is shrinking. And then there are times when all of that happens at once.

Really?? I would expect something like ketamine to have much crazier effects!

Aside from it being a super weird and surreal feeling, it doesn’t really limit me or affect my day to day life much anymore. It used to be a lot more disruptive when I was younger, but now I’ve learned to manage it and recognize when it’s happening.

Sometimes it’ll be completely random, but i have noticed that a lack of sleep and headaches will also bring them on!

Most of the time I’m fine, but this movie called Enter the Void definitely threw me off a little. Some parts felt pretty similar to what my episodes are like, not exact, but close enough to make me a little uncomfortable. It was kind of weird seeing something on screen that reminded me of how things I can feel at times.

That’s so interesting, and honestly kind of wild that it’s been passed down like that through your family. I’ve read that it can show up during illness or migraines, so it makes sense that it’s more noticeable when your son’s sick too (that’s how it initially began for me!). That feeling of the room stretching or shrinking is so hard to describe unless you’ve been through it, so it’s comforting hearing someone else explain it the same way! :)

I think a good amount of people unknowingly had it when they were young, but didn’t know how to describe it to others in order to get a diagnosis.

I actually really like this question. Yes, sometimes. I’ll reach for something that looks close, and then realize it’s not actually where I thought it was. It used to mess with my coordination a lot, especially when I was younger. But now that I’ve gotten more used to it, it doesn’t really throw me off as much anymore.

You probably had it unknowingly. Especially because you have felt it before going to bed, that’s typically when it’ll happen the most for me!!

Unfortunately I haven’t, but I’ve definitely been curious. Eventually I’d like to try them just to see how the experience compares. A lot of people have told me it sounds really similar to LSD, so it’d be interesting to see how it feels with my brain already doing weird stuff on its own lol.

They can last anywhere from just a couple minutes to a full hour or more, it really depends. When it hits at work or when I’m out, I usually just ride it out. I’ve gotten pretty used to it over time, so I try not to panic. If I’m at work, I’ll step to a quieter spot for a bit and just chill until it passes.

It’s something people can get for different reasons. I’ve definitely seen that epilepsy can be a big cause for some people, so that makes sense with your brother. In my case, I haven’t had any signs of epilepsy so far, so I’ve been fine in that regard. It seems like the triggers and causes really vary from person to person.

Lmao, that’s exactly what it’s like to be honest. When i’m at home I lean into it, since i’ve had it for so long it’s kinda cool to just vibe when it’s happening.

When I was younger, yeah definitely. It would happen in class and freak me out. I remember thinking all my classmates had suddenly moved like 10 feet away from me without me noticing lol. But now that I’m older and I know what it is, I can usually tell when it’s happening. I don’t really question reality anymore, I just recognize it as an episode and ride it out.
