Background is I survived a medical emergency made worse by clinical negligence. All very distressing, painful, long recovery yadda yadda. But since then I've changed. I see things in black and white, I'm very forthright in my views and don't piss around. This is very unlike how I was before. But it is proving productive. I have been promoted so more money, more seniority, I'm suddenly making decisions and taking leadership about complex matters and I'm getting them right. My personal life is also going well in that I'm socialising more as am now a proactive organiser. I know how to oil an evening and make things go well. I am busy, successful even, but I don't quite know how I'm doing it because really I'm disconnected from everything which is the secret behind my relatively newfound success - you don't agonise over decisions when you don't really care about the outcome of them.
So actually I'm not enjoying any of this because it doesn't feel like it's really happening to me, although I take a certain pleasure in notching up achievements met. But I am observing it from the outside if you like and sort of marvelling at my secret power. The secret power being not really giving a shit.
Can anyone identity with this??

AIBU to think that nothing can touch me but also to be secretly terrified?
