When I get excited for something, I get excited. I mean like super excitement. Like kind of excitement where I have a lot of energy. Like in this case, I got a new video game. Where wanting to play it, is super excitement worthy. My excitement becomes and obsession until I get to play it, lol. I will run around, check up on people using the television...they get annoyed when I do this...I run into objects, I do my excited rocking. Thinking about the game, makes me just go wild. lol.

But sometimes, when I'm excited, until I get to play that game, I become obsessed with it. Super obsessed, I want to now everything about the game to supplement the fact that I'm not playing it. If let's say I don't get the television tonight and don't get to play my game, I dream about it. I will think about this game forever and ever. Sometimes my excitement turns into frustration if I'm forced to wait to long and I wil get angry at the people blocking my way to playing this game. I treat them more like obstacles. They are in my way of my obsession.

Usually what happens, is I lose site of my prioties sometimes. One time I had to wait almost a month to play a video game, and I couldn't focus on my homework or focus in class because my only thought was on the game.

Does anyone else get excited like this?

How do you deal with it? How do you stop your excitement from becoming frustration?

Btw, yes...for the title I spelt excited wrong on purpose. The original titled I revised it cause it sounded weirdo.

I used to get that excited when I was into Star Wars. Everything new would excite me. The smallest spoiler, the newest images of figures, all of that stuff would make me go crazy, insane excited.

I get strange panicky feelings, sometimes. This tinge of panic goes through me when I realize I didn't do something the right way or made a mistake. Sometimes, it interferes with me thinking rationally and I feel totally doomed.
Excitement feelings have subsided. I used to get over excited. Just about every emotion was too much emotion.
The night before Christmas I could not sleep. The night before going on a trip, I could not sleep. I could not sleep the night before the first day of school. Excitement kept it from happening.
If I were about to go on a long journey, I might not be able to sleep the night before.
I guess I still get that excited feeling from time to time, just not as often.

My obsession is the broad genre of video games. Anything video game worthy feeds my video game addiction..lol

I get that 'nervous excited' feeling when I hear or read something about my interest(s). When excited in general, I bounce up and down and eek :D Of course, I've learned when to do that in socially appropriate times :) But yeah!
