Have I ever made a good decision? For real, if nothing has worked doesn’t that mean I’ve only made bad decisions?
“Speed may have been a factor”
Today I discovered that this thing I experience sometimes has a name. It’s called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome and it causes me to feel like I’m too big or too small for my body. Almost like I’m changing size or even outside of it. The less alarming associations that the syndrome has are to Migraines (which I’ve had since childhood), lack of sleep (I’ve dealt with insomnia most of my adult life), and depression. It’s known to be caused by too much electrical activity in the brain and is common at sleep onset. Which all lines up.
It’s bizarre because I honestly just figured that everyone experienced it sometimes. I remember asking a friend about it once and receiving a blank stare, I just thought she didn’t remember or experience quite the same thing. But it turns out it’s a medical thing. Not a bad one (unless I have a brain tumor) and in all likelihood it’ll disappear by the time I hit 30. But… neat? Not neat? Just weird that it’s a whole thing I was unaware of.
