Yeah, which is why I've brought it back to what people actually want quite a few times. Everyone loves the idea of freedom. True freedom will scare the mind $hitless.
I was there, once, but ... well, stuff happened that got me thrown into a 72-hour, mental ward lockup. Not long after that, more stuff happened, which resulted in another 3-day stint somewhere else. Hence, I understand quite clearly the efficacy of locking oneself in the bathroom.
And yes, true freedom will scare most minds truly sh!tless. The thing is, there is also a fearlessness that can sometimes accompany it, and that's when locking yourself up somewhere might not be an altogether bad idea.
All the more reason why the process of a gradual awakening is a very good thing.
Yeah, I think I've mentioned before that usually, though obviously not always, the mind regulates it's stability by simply not noticing whatever would bring about too much instability. When there is already an instability like depression or severe anxiety, realization becomes more likely since the risk seems like a potential escape.
