Hello barbella: The Skeezyks' perspective is that this is just the way it is. When something is new & different there is something of a stimulating effect to it... sort-of like a placebo effect. But, after a while, the newness wears off & so does the stimulating effect. It's not unlike what keeps people buying new cars when, in reality, they don't need them & sometimes can't even really afford them. You're in all likelihood not doing anything to cause this... & no you're not malingering...
