Hi Burnout and others.
It is funny reading all the people because it seems that we have some symptoms in common and others we dont (excuse my english grammar if wrong, Im spanish in an Italian cyber cafe...).
Per example lights do not seem to affect me at all, as matter of fact I love bright lights. And an other odd thing are gas stations. I love them, the clean and bright ones. I think it is the only place that is not static, you are just passing by.
Any way, I see that some people relate to this because of incidentes in their lifes that brought them to numbing or brain dazing and also people that are just like that. It does not really matter, bodies share similar responses no matter how thay have been triggered.
I can realate to you liking alcohol. I have never had a problem with it, but I know I could if I dont watch it. As a matter of fact certain people that are extremly curious do have a tendency to discover the much needed new situations that will give them a little dopamine through drugs and alcohol. For some people this is innate and for some aquired (like some people with PTSS).
You know what you have in common with Michael Shumacker (formula race driver)? He is pretty much fearless. I think people like you are the ones that discovered America, travelled to the north pole, worked in submarines. Or even before in the stone age, the ones that searched for new caves, etc. A type of persone that was indispensable for older society, and some present undeveloped societies, in order for it to progress, the explorer, the one that can think she or his way out of situation because of being able to dissociate (natural response to factors that are no longer common in western society).
I might be wrong, but maybe what you need are not medical druggs or alcohol, maybe it is just a little more action???
I am a tension addict for what I was told. Actually I get extremely depressed when I do not have anything to do. As soon as I become active, it goes away. I can be active by thinking non stop of lots of different things, by going really fast on a vehicle (stoped doing that thought), etc. Apparently a long tame a go I was taken away the capability of returning to the normal relaxed state of the brain (many years of not relaxing).
Does some body relate to this? Not being able to stop because it makes you depressed (or something similar to depression). This is tha key element for me, I know if I learn to relax with out dozing or getting depressed I will be cured. Maybe for other people too, even if thay have not gone through trauma.
Contrary to what I think, my friends also say I am pretty much above avarage in intelect and creativity, but not mathematical though, can not concentrate.Well sorry all to be so long. Im just putting everything my mind comes up so together we might find explanations. Continuos brain storming lots of you are already used too, he, he.
Happy to hear from other people, very happy.
