I am not, in any way, joking. Keep believing whatever you want to believe, but just double check and make sure your physical health is ok.

If on the other hand you've always believed it's da juice since you were in highschool, a cat scan won't show too much.

ETA: Reality is 100% subjective. I can't find a link, but by way of example there was a guy that contracted a super-rare parasite while on a "missions" trip in Africa. He was ironically stuck in a very real hell. He could see it. He also thought there was a clone of him that was trying to take his family, all sorts of stuff that he saw and knew to be true. He was about three days away from death until they figured it out.

Once they killed the parasite his reality changed into a much less stressful normal, although it did shake up his faith quite a bit. Not suggesting it's a parasite in any way, but even mild pressure in the cranium can dramatically change a persons worldview.

I dare you, to prove that you're normal.
If reality truly is subjective, then would not normal be subjective? There is only Truth. But, ?For now we see through a glass, darkly...? we all have our sight through the darkened glass. The darkness comes from within and without.

Internal/Within: Prejudices, experiences viewed wrongly, fear, hate.
External/Without: Education, propaganda, upbringing, environment.

ALL the external sources for darkness must pass through whatever natural or built up dam you have that keeps you from believing yet another lie aids in further darkening of your window into the world around you.

?Above all, dont lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.?
- Fyodor Dostoevsky

Or, in simpler terms, ?I may be wrong, but, I am not lying? - Owen Benjamin

No, I am not normal, and it would be a shame to waste this life by being normal.

I appreciate any sincere concern for my health, I can use all the prayers you have to offer on my behalf. These last 2 years have been hard on all of us, and certainly I have had my shares of trials and tribulations.
