I'm generally put off by enthusiasm, it's not a trustworthy mood and swings uncertainly to gloom.

It's not my enthusiasm, of course, but others. I don't really suffer from enthusiasm, sometimes manic but it's very brief. Not mania, manic is just activity, mania is much worse.

Till you've had that mood indigo..."
