What are the steps you take to hold on to your sanity?

“Remembering’s dangerous. I find the past such a worrying, anxious place. “The Past Tense,” I suppose you’d call it. Memory’s so treacherous. One moment you’re lost in a carnival of delights, with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon of puberty, all that sentimental candy-floss… the next, it leads you somewhere you don’t want to go. Somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp ambiguous shapes of things you’d hoped were forgotten. Memories can be vile, repulsive little brutes. Like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can’t face them, we deny reason itself! Although, why not? We aren’t contractually tied down to rationality! There is no sanity clause! So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there’s always madness. Madness is the emergency exit… you can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away… forever.”

I find outlets to vent and express myself. Be around positive people. And enjoy the little things and moments we often don't appreciate.

Take a moment to reassess the situation and piece by piece try to come to a sensible conclusion

I throw any threats to my sanity into my basement :) I hear they've started a book club down there, no idea how they can read in the dark though. Probably a chick thing?

i don't. i have 3 voices in my head. innocent + autism, rage and anger and the last one is reason. 1 and 2 are always in contradiction and reason calls the last shot. but reason is that personality in my head that's the line i do not cross but if something happens to get rid of or reason or innocent then i'll go insane
