I think I'm suffering from chronic tension. Everyone I come within five feet of twitches or feels uncomfortable or both, and I can feel myself trembling.

John Tesh (with Intelligence For Your Life) says that watching the National Geographic channel, due to our tendency as humans to be unconsciously fascinated by animals, is one of the most relaxing things you can do. I'll try that.

There's also the option that I've become a psychic vampire, but what are the odds? Let's look for dragons while we're at it. If I am, then I'm sucking energy from those around me because I'm a leaky "energy bucket."

Then there's the idea that I live in a system very much like the Matrix and that I have become "aware," and must soon choose between the red and the blue pill.

Or maybe my brain or my brainwaves are acting up, or it's a hormonal or psychological problem that is somehow detectable by the psyche of others.

Which of those possibilities look realistic? Whoever said anything is possible is crazy.
