Testimonial-obsessive compulsive behaviour
This blog I designate as a personal testimonial behaviour. It relates to physical activity with unlimited physical stamina. For about 6 weeks during the month of July and early Aug 2012 I was doing some gardening and other physical activity around my residential home. It involved laying of grass, removal of heavy patio cement and granite blocks, cutting grass etc. During this period it seemed I had unlimited physical endurance. I would begin the activity early in the morning, and after having only a brief stop for lunch, and a short rest period to avoid regurgitation of my meal I would be out working again. This daily activity continued in spite of the temp which was in the high 20's and low 30's. My wife was afraid I would collapse. As I did not experience any anginal symptoms- only some nausea which I related to cerebral anoxia- see my earlier blog- I found that my weight dropped to 122 pounds from the low 130's just a couple of months ago- most of this probably due to dehydration
Then suddenly I experienced- just as quickly- a total lack of desire to do any work. Also I found that my decision making seemed less precautionary. For example on one occasion I began backing up my car to enable me to make a sharper U-turn, forgetting to remember that I was also pulling a trailer. On another occasion while driving my car on Main street in Winnipeg and proceeding south and approaching Leila from the second lane, I tried to make a shift from this second lane to the lane next to the boulevard, but noticing a person on a bicycle I began slowing down. Although there was a car some distance behind this bicycle the driver refused to let me into this lane. Under frustration I made a quick decision to accelerate to enter the next street to make this right turn to proceed west to McPhilips. Unfortunately I had momentarily forgotten that this was a one way street going the other way. I quickly alter my plans continuing southward on Main Street until I reached Inskter Blvd.
I interpet this behaviour as an example of manic depressive behaviour- a component I believe that I may have and which has given me impetus as well as the ability for generating ideas- the necessary components for conducting scientific research.
