The surprise for me is that I can remember exactly what losing my mind was like. It’s tangible to me, it’s a taste in my mouth. And, even more surprisingly, I think I’m able to describe it.

Imagine a tone of voice. The tone is sort of dreary. But it’s also despairing and frustrated. If the tone was matched to a voice, it would be the nasal voice of a boring man, intoning his despair weakly: Oh no, no, God, oh dear, oh, no …But forget about what the voice is saying – it’s the tone that’s important. Dreary, despairing, frustrated, pathetic, and quite loud. So take that loud tone, and make it ingredient number one.

Second ingredient, very straightforward: fear. Jittery, panicky. Something that you wouldn’t think would exist with the dreary tone, but does. Quivering, cold, biting, fear.

The third and final ingredient, also straightforward: random words. Random words, strung together. Strings of words. Simple and unhinged. Without pattern, no looping, no meaningful repetitions. And SHOUTED AT TOP VOLUME.
