calm acceptance met with extreme focus
Going down hill for me, has to equal being tied to a runaway train that's about to go off a cliff for me to think it's really going down hill. Things have to be really bad for me to even recognize. Once it gets that bad, at first I get manic and very aggressive. I snap at the littlest irritation. Then my brain takes over completely and I dissociate. Once this happens no one and nothing is real anymore. It's like it's all happening to someone else. My emotions freeze up, all thoughts begin to quiet, I can't be reached at all by the outside world. In this mindset nothing at all bothers me and I am completely unavailable emotionally to other people. I can't feel sad, angry or understand urgency. But I also take no more pleasure from anything other than the relief of no longer experiencing any rage.

I saw it more like the body being a vehicle or marionette.
"But I also take no more pleasure from anything other than the relief of no longer experiencing any rage."
Mine's that way but with fear instead.
