Fascinating. I self-diagnosed myself with schizophrenia once. A horrible 6 months locked in an alien world where all I could think about was time and space (at about a million miles a second). I would hear chatter in my head and was convinced I was overhearing random conversations people were having and was even certain of the locations they were having these conversations. The idea that we all shared one consciousness and that time and space was an illusion would give me constant panic attacks every day. I would look at tv and faces would warp, become big and small. It was like living inside a nightmare.

But then I broke out of it in an instant 6 months later whilst I was trying to distract my thoughts by focusing on the shoes that peoples were wearing inside a busy train station - I started to find it amusing how silly people looked in certain styles etc. Who knows, I was out of my mind. What a feeling.
