We’re between things. It’s an uncomfortable place.
... Bottom line: If you are demoralized there’s nothing wrong with
you. But there is definitely something wrong with the larger
situation.
If you know someone who is demoralized, don’t try to ‘fix’ them by
helping them fit back into their old lives better. The problem
isn’t with their ability to adapt. The problem is they are
already adapting to what is coming. They’re ahead of the curve,
not behind it. They just see the new curve before you do.
With that critical framing for the word demoralization, we can now
go a bit deeper. But first, I want to introduce an important term
relating to demoralization: Zozobra. It describes a potent
sensation one might experience during an interregnum, especially
if demoralization is in play.
... The word “zozobra” is an ordinary Spanish term for “anxiety”
but with connotations that call to mind the wobbling of a ship
about to capsize.
... This feeling of zozobra is commonly experienced by people who
visit or immigrate to a foreign country: the rhythms of life, the
way people interact, everything just seems “off” – unfamiliar,
disorienting and vaguely alienating.
According to the philosopher Emilio Uranga (1921-1988), the
telltale sign of zozobra is wobbling and toggling between
perspectives, being unable to relax into a single framework to
make sense of things. As Uranga describes it in his 1952 book
“Analysis of Mexican Being”:
“Zozobra refers to a mode of being that incessantly oscillates
between two possibilities, between two affects, without knowing
which one of those to depend on … indiscriminately dismissing one
extreme in favor of the other. In this to and fro the soul
suffers, it feels torn and wounded.”

neurotransmitter dopamine and the synaptic cleft:
