Sliding doors, dude.

I have a disease that is treated very well by cannabis. Like lost organs bad of a disease, and there's a ~50% chance I'd still have the organs if I'd been a pothead in high school (it has been a matter of not a small amount of theoretical debate). Some "what if" hallways, if your mind goes down it does not come back the same. Just leave the door closed.

Huh... I've had the same kind of philosophy for a long time. Except I would explain it like you're in a long hallway, with doors on either side all along the way... be careful to stay in the hallway, because sometimes you might go through a door and not be able to easily come back. Crack a door and peak, if you must, but try and stay in the hallway

It was mainly a tool I used for maintaining mind during a hallucinagenic trip, but has stayed with me as a tool for "regulating myself", so to speak. Interesting that you describe basically the same concept

i strongly believe in the concept of convergent evolution. i don't know what it was, but sounds kind of like something eerily similar inspired us to develop a mental regulation tool we use in an eerily similar manner as you. fun, huh? ain't nothing original under the sun. maybe we were both independently and nonconsecutively watching the shining and knew the tub scene was coming up and asked our various loved ones' ghosts to cover our eyes for us because we are delicate, and now we run down corridors in our minds. maybe we like doctor who. idk.
