yes, thank you for asking, i'm doing a lot better. it started breaking up in the afternoon (4-ish? 5-ish?) and dissipated by about 6 pm today. i had about an hour or two where i felt really, really "clear" minded, could think rationally and felt things were good, i even remember looking forward to seeing my son tomorrow and to my daughter coming to visit later this month. now i'm back to my usual semi-displaced fog of half-in/half-out between this world and my world with mismatched affect (? not sure the right term) but NOT a bad place at all, not like yesterday. i remember during that brief "clear" period my emotions were totally connecting with things and felt "right" -- e.g. feeling joy and anticipation, matching the contemplated event, etc. it was probably hypomania but it felt so good! and it was so unexpected too, coming like it did right after that horrible blackness/stiffness/crushingness/locked-up-inside-ness dissolved.
