I'm assuming I don't know the person you wrote this for, but I'm glad you posted it. This line in particular:

I would be euphoric one moment, and intensely afraid of dropping the ball the next.

I can't even begin to tell you how that resonates. It's like... well, it's exactly what you describe. And every success becomes meaningless as soon as one tiny mistake is made.

I guess it's the topic I've been avoiding posting about the last couple of weeks. :-P (With how much I post, it's kinda amazing that I *avoid* posting about anything... ::snerk::)

The person isn't on my friend's list, so you probably assumed correctly ( ... )

Wow: I totally relate on being fearful about becoming too lazy. :) I tried to stay up for three days straight over the stupid website, for fear I would become too lazy to finish it. Of course, I'll emotionally and physically crash & burn if I DON'T take breaks. I know, too, if I become bored with a tedious project, it would take a moose on steroids to shove me into finishing it. I often just plunge right in and spend days doing a project until it's all over, then I burn out like a flash hitting the pan. I had a really good professor who seemed to know how to direct my energy. I wish I could hire him full-time. It's hard because I usually misjudge where I am truly not being lazy, and when I *am* just being lazy ( ... )
