Yup. Mother dear's send me to a therapist tomorrow. Why? Well, I expounded upon it a bit in the religion thread, but here's as good a place as any.
While it had nothing to do with the topic of religion directly, I began to think a lot about free-will, about the problems connected with infinity, and reality in general (i.e., what if all of this is a hallucination of mine? What if the real worlds something completely different, and I've been in a coma being fed through a tube my whole life, that sorta thing). I had a panic attack.
This happens a lot in my family. We're smart, the lot of us, and we think too much about things, and get too deep and entrenched in them. We can't stop thinking about something once we've thought about it. Call it OCD, or whatever. But the same thing happened to my brother when he was younger. He became obsessed with the idea of gravity, and how we're always surrounded by it and could never escape it. He had a panic attack.
Sigh.
