I don’t know if you remember when I mentioned I think we have the option of egging it on or deescalating it. I got the idea years later when looking back at this episode. They say it lasts about 5 days. It started in November with at minimum some sadness but it may have been depression and I was brought to the hospital in July. I was not in any treatment at the time. An article online said to exercise to naturally beat depression. I took the advice. Shortly after I developed the obsession. I also turned in marketing plans for the hotel ( I look back and that was super embarrassing. ) I lost 80 pounds. I was full of energy and was exercising nearly 5 hours a day. I was trying to get rid of the energy with exercise and it about the same as trying to get rid of a fire with gasoline.
