The name of Erik creates an overly-sensitive nature which causes you to sense and feel far more than you can understand or put into words. Being energetic and restless, you require outlets in creative accomplishment; otherwise you experience moods and depression when faced with monotony or inactivity. The outdoors often acts as a panacea for times when you feel distraught and pressured. Theoretical work that requires planning, concentration, and close attention to detail interests you. You are naturally curious about the deeper reasons for life and enjoy exploring new avenues of thought. This lack of communication creates unhappiness and moods of depression. You dislike crowds and prefer solitude, or experiences shared with only a few close friends. However, you prefer to avoid routine, monotony, and menial tasks. Sometimes you must fight to control your mental state and nervous system against morbid, turbulent thoughts resulting from your psychic sensitivities. Your feelings tend to build up within you and, if you cannot release them through a creative, constructive channel, you could suffer with frustration, moods, and much inner turmoil.
