No, Jim, you're not. 
And there are not three separate people, McGinn, Desk, and Tornadoes. 
And you do not have a Master's thesis on the internet. 
And you are not living under your own recognizance. 
And you never learned what a phase diagram shows. 
And you never learned what boiling point means. 

There are lots of things you believe that to you are as real as trees, but
they aren't reality, Jim. 
You have a mental illness, Jim, and those delusions are just as damaging to
you as hearing voices to burn down the bedroom, even if they don't feel
damaging. 

I know all this posturing feels better than getting the help you need, but
you really should get that help first. It will not rob you of your ideas. 
It will just help you see them for what they are. Nobody is going to
lobotomize 
you. There is no reason to be afraid of treatment.
