Like one time I was fighting with my partner and it felt like we were an entire football field away from each other even though we were just across the room. And every time they talked I physically felt like I was the size of a doll.

Or sometimes on bad dysphoria days I’ll watch myself type and my thumbs will look huge to me. Or sometimes they’ll feel really far away.

Is there a name for this? Is it indicative of anything?

    Coming back to this now because I thought Facky saying Alice in Wonderland Syndrome was a joke, but that is actually a term for this experience:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Wonderland_syndrome

    Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS), also known as Todd’s Syndrome or Dysmetropsia, is a neurological disorder that distorts perception. People with this syndrome may experience distortions in their visual perception of objects, such as appearing smaller (micropsia) or larger (macropsia), or appearing to be closer (pelopsia) or farther (teleopsia) than they are. Distortion may also occur for senses other than vision.[3]
