Do you guys get these at all?
I’ve been getting a wave of this today. its freaking weird and annoying.
example: The couches look miniature or people look abnormaly short. the cup in my hand looks tiny, cars on the street look small.
then it changes and everything looks too big.
Yeah, something like that happens to me sometimes.But it is usually a far/close type of thing. Sometimes in my apartment things will suddenly look twice as close to me as usual.
I get this a bit in a different sense… things grow and shrink… more like they are breathing.
It get to me when it seems like things are growing and growing and soon there will be no room for me.
It’s hardly been studied at all. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=schizophrenia+lilliputian
I had that in hospital once. I was sure I growing taller.
I’ve been trying to give this some honest thought… I have a feeling that because my eyesight is pretty bad I might not feel like things are shrinking or growing during a calm day.
If something looks smaller or bigger… I really blame my eyesight.
I’ve wondered that as well. When I was 7 I had an eye operation to tighten the muscles in my left eye. My visions been good though
I’m always amazed by the small operations that can be done… that sounds huge.
My eyesight… Just got worse as I lived. I’m glad I can still wear contacts when I need too.
No. But I quite often experience that my arm seems unreal, just like looking at something far away, and not part of my body. I heard this from an artist/schizo that she also had this.
Its probably derealzation
I used to get that a lot as well. Felt like my arms were not mine. Or that my head looked like it was almost separate from the body. Just a feeling of unreal
Back when I first got ill, and had no insight, I could see my face morph into someones elses. Happened two times.
I get it all the time… I think it may a bit ocd as I tend to feel strange, stand up and look around my room, and everything is shapeshifting many, many, many times a day/night… It’s quite fun but disturbing if I’m with people
I ckecked it online, and its NOT a psychotic sympom as such. Its actually a quite common symptom of panic disorders and anxiety. Good to know I think that Im not yet psychotic being of meds. Well not totally but its 3 and 1/2 months since last injection of Invega Sustenna
I had that as a child. I also saw small and big old cartoonish men falling from the sky when I had a fever.
seem to be having this again this evening, was feeling in a bit of a depressed state, and also a bit stressed from a lot going on. so i drank a big coffee,
now the walls are wavy and objects looks small then bigger, then i begin thinking what if im actually on the ceiling and the floor is just the ceiling and the ceiling is the floor. (of course i can rationalise that is not the case.)
just strange perceptions
Could be ‘vertigo’ from a possible inner ear infection? Maybe get that checked out.
i actually had tubes in my ears when i was a kid, its kind of been an off and on issue for many years. but seems to happen when my days are more hectic.
I have the exact same breathing thing. Though I’ve also seen objects, mostly heads and faces, shrink. Fairly amusing actually.
It is amusing isn’t it!
A bit difficult to explain the giggles in a work meeting though.
