you ever been so stressed that youre calm

this is my constant state

my chill is fake

“How are you so calm?!”
“I’ve passed beyond stressed, beyond hysteria, into the grey misty indifference of complete shutdown of all but emergency services in my brain.”

That’s actually how I managed to pass my driving test. I went through the stage of being shaky and feeling like I was going to throw up then run away, and got to a really serene, calm place and drove really well!

I seldom realize I’m stressed till after it wears off, because I slip into a ‘one step at a time’ survival state in which I appear and feel perfectly level-headed and certain of the next thing I need to do.  

Unfortunately it’s probably my most efficient and productive state.
