I never did have a lot of them. I'd tinker around with this or that for a while. But then I'd just move on to something else.

Nowadays I find that anything I do tends to stoke my anxiety & anger issues whenever it doesn't go just so.

So even things I could do I tend to avoid so as to keep myself on as even a keel as possible.

I can absolutely relate to this as well. Sometimes it just doesn't flow right and can put me in an even worse mood. The other day, I went to my favorite pool hall (which even going out in public is a victory for me most days), and it was very crowded. My panic flared up and my game suffered. This led to even more aggrivation after the fact and I wish I wouldn't have gone to begin with.

As for the PC thing, it sounds like you like to use that as a machine to connect and fulfill something within yourself. I see you post on here quite a bit. I would certainly put this into the helpful hobby category.

Thanks for your response, friend!
