Brooding

The breaking point, everyone has one for whatever negative feeling/situation. Whatever the breaking point is I wonder if the symptoms are the same for all.

I wonder if when feeling that things are just "too much", others feel a maelstrom of activity inside their skulls, a frenetic mounting of energy, an increasing wall of internal noise that mutes the sound of the external world with its' volume, and muddled and confused colors and memories or thoughts winding around one another.

I wonder if when beginning to feel the descent into "moodiness" or "feeling down", others sense a slow sinking in their minds or perhaps it's an enveloping cloud, casting a shadow over their prior state of normalcy, or even happiness, with an almost imperceptible sloth like movement. Sinking in slow motion. The world turns a darker shade and unclear thoughts bubble to the surface - where the only clear "thought" might be a vague feeling of overwhelming sadness without a distinct point of origin. The internal world becomes heavy with the descent, the body ... the abstract body felt by the mind, wrapped and suffocating in a cocoon. The world begins to look grainy, somewhat unreal, as the mind is swallowed by the slide into the void.
