Linkadge,
The perceptual changes you describe sound a lot like depersonalization / derealization, classic symptoms of anxiety. You did a good job explaining it. I think this is more indicative of severe anxiety than bipolar. But then again, I'm no expert on bipolar. So perhaps individuals with BP get this too?
BTW, these symptoms were really stubborn for me. They still come back, even though I don't feel anxious anymore. They do get better with (a lot) of time though.
Best,
Matt
