So I decided sometime a while back that rationality wasn't getting me anywhere and I should behave like a crazy person to see if that helped any. What happened instead? I began to have irrational thoughts but, aside from a few quirks like refusing to answer the telephone, my behavior has still been altogether too sensible. This is not the direction I wanted to go in! Sheesh, I'm supposed to be acting oddly and eccentrically and unpredictably, while instead I continue to be very careful not to make any major mistakes. Yes, many of the things I have wanted to do surely would have been big mistakes. So what? If I'm honestly having trouble thinking of a mental state that would be more unpleasant than the one I've been in for much of the last few months, continuing to be "sensible" makes no sense at all.
