I feel very strange, I feel like I’ve woke from a very long dream. It feels like everything has changed, though I know nothing has. It’s weird, it feels like the me of yesterday isn’t the me of today. But I know I’m the same as before. Worries I had are gone and I don’t see why I worried to begin with. I do have depression, anxiety, OCD, and autism so that might be related. If I woke tomorrow feeling as I do today or as I felt yesterday I don’t know if i’d be disappointed or not. I feel neutral. I’m not freaking out or anything, I feel relatively calm for a change. Anyone else have any similar experiences? It may sound like I’m high but I’m not.

    Feeling high but not being high was my experience of depersonalisation & derealisation. You could read about these and the specific symptons online (on medical not entertainment websites) and check if it fits. You should probably see a Doc about it if it doesn’t get back to normal

    This is crisis response. Or at least, this is how I would describe my crisis response. Everything seems crisper, clearer, better understood. Emotions detatch and you’re ready to take action to move you and those you care about out of the crisis.

    I imagine it’s our brains switching to a reprioritization of functions, like how a neurotypical brain feels in an adrenaline response, but with the renal system on standby.

    “Panic attacks are not a priority right now. Action is.” -Your Brain

    I last experienced this while walking into a call center of 400 people with 6 techs and every single one of those people had a million tech issues from a botched migration. 4 of my techs were panicking within 2 hours, me and one other verified autism bro went into fucking zen.

    Just like you said, a spike of anxiety followed by a sudden “waking” into calm. Spent 3 and a half days fixing their issues. The 4 techs were cycled out and us two carried hard.

    Now, I’ve hit that zen about our country, about 4 weeks ago now. I know what this is. I know what it feels like. And I know what I must do. Bella Ciao.
