I was in a period of unbelievable stress and pressure. Amazing stretch of the most pressing life events one could imagine; Forest fire threatening second home, hurricane threatening other second home, partner mother die, my father die, retirement, things going SNAFU all over. Had a BIG cry (lasted about 20 minutes I think... time stood still) in a Home Depot lumber department and was completely and quickly overcome by peace, tranquility, clarity, resolve, a personality (a devout loner prior), and ability to tap the wealth of my knowledge in a way I never knew possible. I can not only recall everything in my life, but formulate with extreme clarity and precision. My mood can only be described as ecstatic; happy all the damn time, really. Genuine concern, empathy, and conversation with every living soul I meet. Very positive feedback from about 90%.
I had an out of body experience when I was 6. I was mauled savagely by a dog. As I went out on the operating table, I sensed myself swimming above the people helping me. This event seemed similar. The date/time of the event (the cry) seems forever etched in my mind... 25 Aug, 2:35pm. I remember looking at my phone just prior. There are more details to the story. I have relayed the story to three physicians, a call in shrink, my cousin, and a very close friend.... now you. Nobody up to now, except my cousin, can put a name or see anything wrong with it as I am in the best shape of my life at 65. My attitude is over the top. Bad things are still there and dealt with, but dealt with using humor and determination rather than anger. I do not remember being angry, I mean at all, since 25 Aug. What happened to me? Oh, my cousin said I had or was having a nervous breakdown..... Jus' Sayin'
