Scary things tend to get our attention. Our brains are wired to focus on danger so we can keep ourselves safe. Sometimes our brains go into overdrive, though.

I know. Pat Deegan talks about learning the terrain of her psychosis. She says she learned that certain trains of thought were like a tractor beam pulling her back to psychosis. She had to avoid going there. http://www.madnessradio.net/madness-...sonal-medicine

That's why I worry about you chasing planes around with a video camera or sitting up all night trying to stop time with your mind. It doesn't seem wholesome somehow. It seems like it's going to lead somewhere you don't want to go and you may have a hard time finding your way back without outside help.
