I’m doing better than I was, maybe a bit burnt out, but I am no longer in hypomanic episode with depressive symptoms. It’s like the emotions burnt a hole in my brain. I’m feeling discomfort though, don’t feel cognitively sharp and getting random discomfort in my body, like the body sensation from past trauma. At this point, I don’t even care. Am I still human?

Yes, you’re right @creative_writer about trauma and it’s effect on us. I am glad you are feeling better.
My family is going through a crisis right now. I can’t elaborate but it’s been very tough lately.
