Your game has only just finished. With your opponent you courteously enter the analysis room for a look at the game. You sit down together and it starts normally, then suddenly you have a massive panic attack. Visions of shrines, demons, and the wrong lottery numbers, overpower your mind and run riot within it. Flustered and emotionally charged, you jump up and start shouting in another language. You can’t think straight nor think about your game anymore. Many people are alarmed and stop what they are doing, some children look scared almost. Some minutes pass before emotions are held in check again, then it happens again. The same visions return but this time there are extra visions of being tasered by police too, as well as many bottles of booze. It causes you to have another panic attack rendering analysis impossible. Your walk becomes a limp, your head a mess. Your opponent doesn’t know what’s happening and asks what is wrong. What should you say and do?
Ride out the storm. Yes more panic attacks are coming because the visions reappear but we can ride it out.
Or you could bring the analysis to an early end as it isn’t getting me anywhere.
Or you could decide not to invest time and money in the lottery anymore.
Or you could emigrate to Russia and become an alcoholic.
Could you re-alter your sense of time somehow and perhaps avoid being tasered…oh and don’t smash anything else up.
Maybe go for therapy and go on medication?
Now look at this, I’ve got to finish this post up. I’m getting visions of visions which are warping into my own sense of humour.
Last option: make tea not war!
