I feel the same way, not wanting to do anything. Most if not all do, probably. My luck is that if I don't, it might not be able to do it at a later time due to perfectionism (and other stuff, maybe more so; really some delusional perfectionism that can get you completely stuck).

There may be two kinds: one based on doubt, the other conviction. Maybe it really hasn't much to do with personality at all. Or it may be a third type.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
