Long story short: I started dream journalling in 2019 - I think most people would agree dreams are a gateway to the subconscious mind. A feature of my dream app has a "how I felt" rating (during the dream) it is characterised by emojis: smiley face, neutral face, sad face.

I have a linear graph of my recorded emotions. Starts with 2019, 2020 in the middle & 2021 at the end.

While the line between 2019-2020 is averaging on neutral, after 2020 there is a sharp drop towards the sad emotions that is kept at a constant through to 2021.

I know it is just dreams but I worry there will be a new drop between 2021 and 2022.

It is pretty worrying to see a record of my morale deteriorating, in graph form. Hits different.
