THE JOY OF MANIA

[Inventor]

I swear I must be misdiagnosed. I have a crazy amount of energy today yet I am bored and unsure of what to do. So i do a little testing, make a little noise, some email, some chat, and basically act like a teenager without enough USRDA of Ritalin. eep!

Do you ever get like this and what do you do? By the way i quit everything. everything including cigarettes, alcohol, etc. Maybe that's it.

Yeah, sometimes. I usually just pick some basic things that will further my long-term goals, such as voice exercises or guitar practice. Or maybe try new forms of music I haven't done yet. I think the way you handle it is about right - just do a bunch of stuff and go with the flow.

I suspect that over time, as you get further away from the substances you once abused, things will be increasingly coherent and you'll find your own flow and rhythm. It took me a while to find anything resembling such a flow and rhythm after leaving my abusive ex-wife. Stick with it, and it will happen.

Oh yeah, there's no question I'm more productive when off the chemicals. but it's anguish really. thoughts racing around, the desire to do more and more, excessive compulsion feelings, etc. Nothing like a good party night to dull the senses I say! Haha.
