"What if none of this is real? What if I'm actually imagining all of this, and am really in a psych ward because of it?"
Or, more hypothetically; "If a giant monster showed up, how would I react? I feel like I probably wouldn't because it's a giant monster, it might just be in my head, so if everyone sees me freak out, when in reality only I can see it, I'd be labeled as crazy." Basically, I'd rather be killed by a monster than seen as crazy.
Sometimes when I'm hiking I think about salamanders, salamanders with tits, and how awesome that would be. Then I remember that they walk close to the ground, causing their nipples to rub constantly...making them bleed profusely.
Whenever hiking to a campground at a national park there will usually be a three-sided wooden shelter to house people from the elements, and inside that shelter there is usually a journal people will write in and sometimes when you read the entries from different people you might find that one gem of imagination. The story I told in my previous comment was one of these journal entry gems and also included a very crudely drawn comic strip of this salamander with bloody nipples, it was by and by the funniest trail entry I have ever read, but the credit goes to the trail alias of Tree Hugger. If you are out there Tree Hugger then I would like to thank you for amazing, inspiring and insightful story about salamander tits.
This isn't something I "think about", so to speak, but rather something that made me think... I was surprised by how anxious and depressed something so simple made me: I found myself aimlessly scrolling through the years on my calendar app... I stopped on the year 2462 and saw that my birthday would be on a Sunday.
I've been thinking about it for days now and I can't get over how much it's affected me. Being that close to being able to visualize a time you can't experience is super frustrating (to me anyway).
I don't think that the day before rioting and martial law will necessarily be normal. Often there is a build up of bullshit over a period of time that finally make the general population snap.
Yes, it does, doesn't it? Then again, as someone who has struggled with depression on and off for almost 40 years, when I find myself thinking about this too much, it's a sign to talk to someone.
But I still cannot honestly say that death doesn't just sound like such a relief from all the day to day noise and worry. Like going to bed at the end of a long, hard day.
I'm in the same boat, except to me its the most terrifying thing ever. I think about how I absolutely have no power over it and that one day I will never live again. Ever. Eternally.
This one. I think about how Serotonin is almost structurally identical to other Psychadelics like DMT & LSD. I think about how the entire world looks like it does because of how my eyes work, and how they catch reflections of light. How would you know it was a hallucination if you had been having it since the second you were born?

What if everybody sees it but they have the same logic as you and nobody reacts and it just calmly eats everybody?
[–] CantStopPooping 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Yeah, like the theory that life really isn't real, but we're really just in an elaborate computer simulation. That freaks me out.

Well, you win the prize. This has to be the only thing out of all these replies that has never popped in my head. But now it will.

...this comment made me anxious. And now I'll be thinking about it.

A mob is as smart as the dumbest member divided by the number of members...

This is the internet, so no matter how many people tell me I'm wrong, it cannot become a physical fight.

If I die right now, I won't have to do the 20+ page paper that's due on Tuesday.
[–] Pattoe [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Yes but imagine all the paper work involved in the afterlife
[–] chamington 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Meh, it's less than 20 pages I bet

Death.. Idk why, the idea of death, for me, sounds very peaceful.

Unspoken tranquility. That's how I put it.
Life is a long, pain-intensive, pointless process to a finite end..

If oxygen is a drug and we're all addicted. How much of what we experience is a hallucination?

Or even better, would it be a hallucination at all in that case?
