: Simple Pleasures :


Kleptomania, Pyromania, Trichotillomania, etc. the goal is not to have, to earn, or to vandalize. It is a more direct pursuit of the one thing that compels you. A focus on action, not reward.

The individual feels an increased sense of tension before committing the act. For some, the tension does not necessarily precede the act as much as it is associated with attempts to resist the urge.

Just wondering where the depicted black hole comes in and what "...mania" it may stand for. I do resist the urge of commenting more explicitly - and consequently I am indeed rewarded with the tension promised in the posted statement. Is there a good name for this disorder?
