I think, with the exception of psychosis, it's a little like being drunk. It's you, only magnified. If you're already a racist, you will just be a louder racist. But if you're not one to begin with, you won't suddenly become one.

I just stayed up for days, paced, went out and weeded in my garden in the snow in a T shirt at 3 am, wrote notebooks full of crazy shit, painted weird things, talked to myself, etc. But oddly, kept it all to myself because I couldn't figure out why I couldn't change that about myself.

But psychosis is different. You are not in your right mind. People do all kinds of things they wouldn't normally do, and they shouldn't be held to account for it.
