You know, I experienced something like this a couple years back. Not a pity post - feel free to scroll on for one, and I'm in a mostly better mental place these days for what it's worth - but a couple of years ago, I was laying in bed one night, having a particularly depressing episode. I've dealt with depression for basically as long as I remember, and that night, I really wasn't doing so good. It's a long story, but eventually, I fell into a bizarre state inbetween consciousness and unconsciousness that's hard to describe. I was awake, but no longer there. I felt everything stop. The world, my heart. No pulse, not a movement in the air, and all was silent. Not even soft ringing in my ears. I felt, physically and emotionally - nothing. Everything stopped in and around me. No thoughts whatsoever in my head, and no emotion. I literally froze and just stopped working at all. And this lasted for a long time that night, I don't even know how long. I just laid there, not feeling a thing, no thoughts, no emotion, just nothing. The whole time, I felt like I was falling, and everything around me was just black. I was just perpetually falling, and did not care. I just...was. I just existed, in some strange place, falling. I felt nothing towards it, good or bad, and was silent in my head and the world around me. I can only describe it as my soul literally having "died" temporarily, because whatever was me before, ceased to be. I was but a corpse, a ghost, a shell, just...falling, endlessly. From there, things get hazy, because all I remember was waking up the next morning, and I was NOT myself for a good handful of hours. I noticeably talked low, emotionlessly. My voice was soulless. I still felt nothing, for anything, and I moved extremely slowly. Now, throughout the course of the next handful of hours, I did very slowly come back little by little. Gradually, my emotion came back, and I became more normal as the day went on. To this day, it hasn't happened since, and it was the only time it ever did happen. Without physically dying, I died within, literally and not figuratively. What was me, just...stopped. And then came back. Anyway, my point is, this picture for some reason reminds me of that experience, and perhaps I can empathize with you a little if you're going through something.
