burst from the effort

[toji.]

Sometimes my body has so many energetic impulses, in the sense of wanting so much energy, of doing so much. That translates into behaviors that justify obsessive acts of effort, for example, studying 12 hours without rest, jumping rope for 2 hours without rest, etc.

That translates into me sometimes having an obsession with pushing myself to the limit, with destroying myself. I like it, and for that reason I am sometimes afraid that that energy will be so great that it will end up shooting me in the head.

Does this happen to anyone else?

hey
you can do this
be aware that you’re the only person that can control your mind which clearly you already are
and so with that being known
don’t make yourself shoot yourself in the head

I can control myself, it's true, but sometimes I scare myself, thinking that one day I'll lose it and end up doing something crazy.

I have big dreams and aspirations, I think that for now the shooting thing is on the back burner.

I did some research and there's a concept called hypomania, maybe I suffer from that, I'm trying to figure out how to control it so that doesn't happen.

Thanks, bro.
