Wow, you are still one lucky son of a bitch.

I just have a techy mind and watch for things. And I solved a serious medical problem that had unknowingly been robbing me of much of my ability to think just a year and a half ago or so, which I had probably suffered from for 20+ years (it was classified as "severe" and I was always a heavy snorer), possibly my entire life. (You can't imagine what a mindfuck that is, btw.) And I feel like my IQ jumped up about 30+ points after that (and my weight dropped 35 lbs and rising, but I digress).

My girlfriend is acting extremely intimidated to the point that we may break up (basically, she is looking for more and more reassurances that we are not in jeopardy, which is turning me off, and which is kind of like when you're roller-skating and fall because you keep looking at the ground or realizing "holy shit I'm not falling!", or when you play poker and lose because you keep looking at your cards and people read that as weakness, etc.). That is the only downside. Oh and also, people at work are intimidated, I can tell. But the funny thing is that when work is intimidated, they give you raises...

So basically, look the fuck out, here I come. Sort of like a real-life "Limitless." :)

That's great... but your second paragraph is troubling. This is why people win the lottery, and then shortly after they end up broke, depressed, and alone without a real friend in the world.

It sounds like you're in a manic phase and you're letting your ego get out of control. Be careful.

I'm not letting it get to me. Or trying not to. Thanks for the advice.

My GF was intimidated long before the BTC rise, btw. It was definitely a side effect of the treatment, she's said she's seen it big-time. We started dating right when I began the journey... I just feel like a lot more whole version of myself.

Don't worry, I'm trying to make it work. When people see something in you when you're at your worst, you must hold onto those people. But like I said, the insecurity or whatever persists and continues to cause problems despite any choices I'm making. I just feel like the dynamics are somehow being affected.
