This... Reads a touch like baby manic depression.

Certainly, the highs feel better if you're coming from a low; but I tend to prefer my highs coming from mids. I will say that, although not a low, the sweet relief of getting through a stressful situation/project is great.




There's a flip side to that, which is anhedonia. If you're always at a mid, it's kind of harder to get the highs. But you avoid the lows, I suppose.


Anhedonia is sometimes used to refer to 'flat affect', which I guess could be taken as 'mid', but usually it is used to describe a lack of joy/desire that is quite common in major depressive episodes.
