A depressing thought...
This is kind of a spinoff of numerous other threads.
A couple of months ago I became fixated on a depressing thought that everything (physical) was essentially the same thing, thus everything lost its importance, which lead to nothing really matters. Not completely sure why I connected the three in my mind, but they naturally seemed to coincide. Anyway, thinking everything is the same made it really hard for me to find interest in anything. I also started to question the significance in what I perceive(could it all be just a sort of illusion?). All in all this was acting as real downer.
I havn't spent too much time in the philosophy forums, but I recently started browsing through them. I found it interesting to see how widespread doubting reality is. Seems a few others have grappled with similar confusions.
My reason for posting is to take sort of a poll:
Have any of you ever fallen into the same or similar train of thought and it made you lose interest in things, or just make you question your senses of reality? (I realize this could be just a yes or no answer, but feel free to elaborate...or merely comment)
