I think I know what triggered my current funk...always kind of operate on the edge anyway, but I've been trying to maintain, for me anyway, an upbeat outlook...I put things off I know I should do, but I tire easily, my back starts hurting, or I'm just not in the mood...wife has been pressuring me to (among many other things) clean off the table next to my recliner so we can put up some kind of tree & other Xmas decorations, so I got myself motivated to do it...going thru all kinds of paperwork & junk mail that I put aside to deal with later, I found a grace period notice for my life insurance premium...obviously I had set it down to deal with, it got forgotten & buried...then the afternoon mail brought a notice that it has indeed expired because I dropped the ball...now I'm in a real funk, no life insurance, & I just know that getting a new policy is gonna be a steep price because of my age & health...& all the other crap that I've been putting off still looms large & mocks me as I move around the house...
