My 23 year-old son has had a lot of therapy and it's helped in a lot. He's probably better at managing a mental rollercoaster than anyone I've ever met. I didn't fully appreciate his skills until my 13 year-old started to struggle last fall. My 23 year-old talked to him for about 30 minutes and his advice blew me away.

I'm nuts. I reall am. I'm extremely obsessive about stuff. It's so bad sometimes that it's almost crippling.
For example, NFL football. I can't pull myself away from it. I can't even get through a primary lesson without streaming it on a mobile device. It sounds funny on the surface, but it's not healthy.
I'm like that with a lot of things. If I like something, there's always a risk that I like too much of it.

If I drank, I think I'd be an alcoholic for sure. I imagine gambling could ruin me too.
I played fantasy baseball a few years ago and beat everyone in the league by so much that it was ridiculous. I'm sure some of the guys cared, but I wonder how many of them dug into stats like I did every single day. It was insane. I hated it, but I couldn't stop until the season was over.

I really am crazy.
