The article I was reading quoted Tolstoy a fellow epileptic I believe. I had never seen the word before.
this quote from Leo Tolstoy, from (his novel) ‘Anna Karenina,’ where he talks about ennui, or boredom, as ‘the desire for desires,’” he said. “Boredom is a motivational state. You want to be doing something that matters to you, but you just don’t want anything that’s currently available to you.”
Ennui
boredom
a feeling of being bored and mentally tired caused by having nothing interesting or exciting to do: The whole country seems to be affected by the ennui of winter. Synonyms. boredom. tedium.
