Aww... thank you, everyone. I really needed that.

This has certainly been a learning experience... today was the first time I experienced any kind of perceptual disturbances like that. I didn't think I was capable of it. I guess the [himself bipolar] psychiatrist friend of mine was right when he cautioned me that just because I hadn't been through something before, that doesn't make me immune to it occurring in the future.

I think I'll take a "sick" day tomorrow...
