    How do people deal with burnout?

    I Find when im close to burn out, i persue my projects. For a while a central one has been creating a decent chess teaching platform and computer opponent application in java. I find the problem solving sort of recharges me. But i really struggle to do anything else. I can get lost in it for...

    What kind of stims/behaviours are you not comfortable doing in front of othere people? Are you comfortable doing these things infront of partners?

    What kind of stims/behaviours are you not comfortable doing in front of othere people? Are you comfortable doing these things infront of partners?

    I find the flip side of this ability, something i actually cherish is, coupled with my iq, my ability to visualise systems and models in my head. And the emcyclipedic knowledge ( in a few personal areas) to back them up. Put me on a machine in a factory. I will get to know everything about it...

    What kind of stims/behaviours are you not comfortable doing in front of othere people? Are you comfortable doing these things infront of partners?

    I Have had quite a traumatic life. But I have learned behaviours along the way which have in a sense protected me from that life. I have a pretty high iq, I am quite gifted at logically and systematically working my way through complex problems. So knowledge has always been my weapon. And within...

    Introduction, feeling lost.

    Im waiting for my degree to change my life. I think until its finished, it will be a slog, end of. At that point, when i go off to do research in machine consciousness, if she learns to accomodatr things, she can get in on it. If not ill be gone and never look back.

    Introduction, feeling lost.

    Sorry I didn't elaborate. At that time, she saved my life. Took me into her home in full blown withdrawal, and cared for me through it. The state I was in, would not be here without her. She lives in south Yorkshire, but I got on my feet, moved out, and I think insomnia was the downfall of South...

    Hey David thanks for your reply. And everyone thank you for being so welcoming, it has been a much needed boost today. I half expected the whole 'your not diagnosed' front. I am on 45mg of mirtazepine now, that is the med that has held me for the last 2 years ish and it works wonders for my...
