For the past two months, I have felt very unstable, with a lot of ups and downs from depression to euphoria. Normally, I'm stable, with only mild depression throughout my entire life, without any issues. The downs that I've had recently are pretty severe, like depression mixed with anxiety and terror. Ups are very weird, with sudden joy and happiness that I'm alive and that the whole world is changing and I'd be a part of it... I'm also waking up in the night, but don't have any problems with going to sleep afterwards. Usually, I don't remember dreams, but if I do, those are often just surreal ones.
As for the rest of my life, I got laid off from my job the same day Pierre was buried. I must say that I hated it, but being the only breadwinner for the family was just fueling my anxiety. I try to limit my attention regarding the events that are currently happening because it's just too much to handle. Whenever I go to my hometown, I learn that somebody I know has died, often from a heart attack, suicide, or turbo-cancer. But when I look up excess mortality charts, all is good! It's like my "gut feeling" is in constant dissonance with my analytical mind, I can now understand what old Uncle Clif High was saying about "hyper novelty".
