Entertaining flights of fancy, mania as well as paranoia, was necessary on my journey. I just had to allow reality to reel me back in when I got off track too much. It's helpful like that.
(that's what I meant when I said, being intentionally crazy freed my soul and grounded my spirit btw)

That's how to overcome depression, anxiety and dissociation. We ask ourselves "what if?" and tell ourselves stories, until we figure out what our values are, what our options are and what our goals could be.
Then the path becomes tangible, even if it may be windy or rocky or steep or muddy.
