That sounds like addiction to me. A lack of stimulation causing restlessness. Counseling and meditation help me with this, but it's on ongoing struggle.

- aphextron 9y agoHere's an incredible (science based) talk about re-framing addiction as a type of 'accelerated deep learning', not a brain disease. This has been helping me a lot lately. One of my favorite takeaways: "...[the addiction model] along with organizations like AA have people spending their lives thinking that their addiction is outside in the parking lot doing pushups and running laps getting ready to kick their ass.". His point essentially being that addiction is nothing but a learned behavior which can be suppressed and unlearned, but the disease model leaves people feeling helpless to their biology and genetics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOSD9rTVuWc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOSD9rTVuWc
