I think it's your brain telling you it likes being stimulated. If you enjoy reading the papers, your brain is telling you it enjoys reading the papers. If it wasn't happy, your brain would say "throw this nonsense in the trash". Sometimes, MI confuses us into thinking the brain isn't "normal" anymore. But we like what we like and we can still function. I'm still smart, but I short-circuit into violence every now and then - anger is my main symptom. To chill out my skull, I try to keep it occupied on other things.
