Overall

• End up thinking too much, but not actually doing much. Pacing around for hours coming up with interesting ideas.
• No motivation to do things / general 'enjoyment' or 'happiness'.

• Procrastination, (although maybe a more focused procrastination). Leading to somewhat arbitrary/random activities, although many of them useful.

• Often feeling exhausted or 'burnt out' a lot.
• More anxious.
• Possibly feeling 'smarter'.

Spent quite a bit of time watching educational talks. Things like software development.

There is less TV programming on now so that probably has a lot to do with it.

Random Activities

Generally things I'm interested in and could be useful and educational. But I didn't really 'decide' or intend to do this stuff. It's completely undirected.

• One whole day spent organising a small section of the rockery in the backyard.
• Two days spend trying to build a microprocessor in Minecraft but writing a program to do that.
• Two days spend researching the physical manufacturing microprocessors in general (optical lithography).
• Spent some hours looking into techniques for teaching my nephew programming in Minecraft.
• Spent time looking into machine learning but not indepth.
• Spent a lot of time looking for things I should look into. But never actually looking into them.

Planned Activities

• Writing personal finance software. Did some work on it but often was doing other stuff when I was wanting to (I'm writing this list now).
• Meditation (never happened)
• Need to vacuum the room. But that hasn't happened in ages.

1-2 weeks

Mostly seemed ok. But effected sleep quite a bit, Paxam didn't seem to be anough and I had a very light sleep where I was still thinking while being asleep.

1 month+ started feeling terrible in general, exhausted kind of sick some stomach issues. Also on minor stimulant at the same time. Possibility of unrelated sickness. But I think most of that happened the first time around to a bit of a lesser degree so it seems more liklely to be the medication.

Maybe became 'immune' to the level of medication and had some kind of withdrawal?

Wouldn't that just happen at higher dosages?

After than wen't back to normalish, feeling kind of drowsy. Able to do somewhat productive work but had also fixed my sleeping pattern at the same time which was more likely to be the thing that helped. Still thinking for hours about things.

Day
