Alice in wonderland syndrome (AIWS/AWS), also called Todd syndrome is a neurological and harmless syndrome where someone’s surroundings are distorted and people and/or objects might be hallucinated smaller (micropsia), bigger (macropsia), further away (teleopsia) or closer (pelopsia). These episodes usually last 10-20 minutes and can be triggered by migraines, nervousness, specific lighting and fevers. Side symptoms during an episode (can) include dizzyness, sensory hallucinations, body dysmorphia in limbs, difficulty to focus and relax your eyes and losing sense of time. Alice in wonderland is not easily diagnosed due to the fact many cases happen to be in children, who are usually too afraid to tell a parent/adult or aren’t understood when describing their hallucinations. Most children grow out of their Alice in wonderland syndrome at the end of their childhood.
“Did you ever see objects in your room shrink for a while when you were a kid?”
“Yes, it is called Alice in wonderland syndrome”
“Oh, how come its called that?”
“Because it refers to Alice’s body shrinking and growing abnormally in the story, but another name for the condition is Todd syndrome”
“And why’s that?”
“Because someone named Todd was the first person to elaborate his experience with the syndrome.”

Get the Alice in wonderland syndrom mug.This is when you find yourself in a situation where you are the only person in the room who makes any sense. When it bothers you to be the only sane person at the "mad tea party" you are suffering from Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.
I attended a business meeting where management and my teammates decided to blatantly lie and mislead our customers. I was the only one who had a problem with this. When I spoke up, I was told to stop making trouble and to start being a team player. I fell into Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.

Get the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome mug.A shitty middle school in Portland OR. The kids are dumb as fuck are always high and do nothing but have sex and do drugs. The teachers would rather be anywhere but there and it has the biggest assholes for principals who suspend you for the most minor things. The building is small as hell and all the kids have to squeeze through tiny hallways ment for 5 year olds. I hate Alice Ott.
I hate Alice Ott Middle School so much I wish it would burn with the principals in it so I can yell "DIE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!"

Get the Alice Ott Middle School mug.Alice of Human Sacrifice is a vocaloid song. In the intro It says "Once upon a time, in a place unknown, there was a dream. No one knew who dreamt the dream, But such a tiny dream it was. The tiny dream began to think, 'I don't want to dissapear, How can I make people dream of me?' The tiny dream thought and thought, and finally it came up with an idea. I will let the humans come to me, and then, I'll make them create my world." The first Alice of Human Sacrifice is a Vocaloid named Meiko. The Second Alice is named Kaito, The third Alice is Miku, The Fourth and Fifth Alices are Rin and Len.

Get the Alice of Human Sacrifice mug.HOHOHOLY SHIT! That was good! What did I tell you? Didn't I say that it was a great anime? Didn't get the recognition it deserved? They made a Netflix adaptation! It was great. Not a single thing about it was bad. Other anime adaptations could learn a thing or two.
Hym "Ooooooohhhh!!!! Alice in Borderland season 2 was so good! The fight scene with the King of Spades? 'It was the only way I knew how to save you' UGH! 😩 It's so tragic! It almost brought a tear to my eye. And the Queen of Hearts? So charming and wholesome! And evil! I love her! And the Chishiya games? Brilliant. He's awesome. Favorite character. Too cool for school but not too cool to look at explosions. Great. I loved it. Loved the whole thing and I binged it the day it came out. Go watch it now! Go watch it now or I'll travel to every water bottling plant and piss in all of the drinking water. You might not be able to taste it but we'll both know it's there. You'll be drinking my pee. Forever. Every man woman and child will drink piss indefinitely. My piss. All because you're too stubborn to watch a good show."

Get the Alice in Borderland season 2 mug.This is a real and serious mental illness like depression, its just not nearly as common. Its when things seem either smaller or larger than they actually are. Or when something seems farther or closer than it actually is.
Patient : I look bigger to myself than most people see me as.
