I feel like I can share this here. I’ve been going kind of crazy for the last couple weeks. Last friday I decided to be blind because I thought it’d be fascinating, and it was. But then the next day I went to take a shower, and the combination of being at an unstable mental place and the shower itself, the hot, enclosed box made my hindbrain start to flip out, to the point where all I could think was a scream. You know the magic eye books, where everything looks somehow deeper? I could see that everywhere I looked. And the screaming was in my head, terribly loudly. But then I took a mental step back and said “why am I screaming? If this is that bad I should get out of here.”

So I did. I wrapped myself in my towel and walked calmly back to my room, at which point i collapsed to the ground laughing. My roomate said “what’s up buddy?” and laughed when I told him the issue. I then calmly picked myself back up and finished the shower, because I still had shampoo in my hair.
