I couldn't agree more. I've been insane, and it was practically unbearable. I even got arrested and spent 3 weeks in jail because of my insanity. I should have been in a mental hospital. Instead, I saw ghosts and heard big bangs, and my food kept changing it's flavor while I was eating it. When I was insane I thought I was doing God's work. All that work for a God that doesn't really exist, at least not in the Christian sense.
My catalyst nowadays is work, and putting up with another that I live with. Also the court date coming up in December. I don't know how it will go.
I really hope everything will go well for you.

Such a nice way to describe it. I keep reminding myself that the whole of this illusion is real, too, it helps me ground myself and not forget that I'm here for a reason and that this all is not the nonsense that my skewed perception of reality makes me think it is. This is one of the reasons that I don't relate to Buddhism as much as I used to; I agree that there is no self and the world is an illusion, but it's a necessary illusion.
