I'm actually a lot like you. I don't think you're crazy at all.
[I don't believe mental illness is a real thing anyway; if it
has no physical cause then it's just a different way of looking
at things] Anyway, the reason why I've shifted over to being
impressed by exactly the OPPOSITE stuff of what I used to is
because my mind is already filled with multiverse, GUT, sci-fi,
time travel, a trippy outlook on things, [self-hypnosis for
example always came easy for me - I just have to breath and
think a thought I never thought of before [or think I never
thought of before]). So it's because my mind is automatically
filled up with that stuff, I've been forcing myself to be
'grounded' and start to see, "ok, what actually brings food to
the table" as it were. So, I keep a foot on both sides of the
doorway, looking at the doorjamb much of the time and trying to
see into both rooms at once.
