Some type of trauma

I agree

Burnout

Yea that's true

Lot’s of things could do that. Depends on the person.

yea

Well since we are emergent inside a metabolism I'd probably poke around in there first. No point starting debugging the software before checking out the hardware for faults. Unfortunately we didn't evolve system logs. . . yet

I would never usually think this way, but, recently, I'd have to agree, especially when it come to diet, specifically focusing on gut health.

A bad relationship, a familial fallout, a career failure.

Definitely

Mental habits

Might be because what you see as success, ambition, and confidence was a veneer. Humans are good at projecting narratives. It doesn't make them true.

Something they don’t see coming. We can handle what we foresee, it’s what you don’t see coming that’s gonna decimate you.

That's a very good point and makes a lot of sense

Strange, Iv always assumed that everyone experience highs and lows and a bit put off by someone asking the question

I can tell you a lot of it, but I don't understand anything about the situation at all. What are you talking about regarding all of it .. I don't understand any of it in the first place. It's like I'm missing half of a story/experience.

Crappy sleep

Crappy nutrition

There are lots of people who think I have cause and effect backwards. They are wrong.

I think we all seek purpose in life, and sometimes we lose those things that provide us with it.
