[Serious] Depression

[Omni]

I jump from one big thing to the next to keep myself excited. Little things don't excite me. Big things do. I have to have a big project, an obsession, a massive goal. This is the most significant manifestation of my having Asperger Syndrome (the others are no longer apparent in me, but this one is a permanent part of who I am). It's likely a trait that many folks have in varying degrees, and it's obviously more common in wrtiers and nerdy types. We're just wired differently and don't get the same dopamine rush that most folks do from smaller activities. My goals are often long-term, my biggest has been in the works since I was about twelve years old. If I'm not actively working towards the goal, I get the same way. If I am, everything else seems better. Videogames are more fun. The people I meet are more engaging. It's because I'm happy, I'm contented. I dunno. It's hard to quantify.

Are you on any medication?
