I recently watched this documentary again about John Nash. I think it is interesting what he states in the beginning about madness being an escape of sorts. Things are not so good you maybe imagine something better.
When I had my psychotic breaks, I used to describe it as my imagination started to run away with me.

Thanks for this!

Love John Nash, To say he was brilliant is such an understatement.

There are two types of genius, the intuitive type of genius is the man of imagination. It's the musician and the poet. The problem for my psychosis is that when it breaks paranoia and fear take the drivers seat and steer my intuition away from every day causes and effects towards madness. I call my imaginative psychosis fearsight, because that's what my imagination whips up.
