0 inception of something rotten.
0-1½ ongoing artistic differences with university.
1 first key disaster. much psychic damage.
(slightly before) 2 that situation begins.
2-2½ artistic differences with space invaders re that situation. much psychic damage results from having to do work.
2½ that situation ends. yes!
2½-4½ general climate of hostility and artistic differences with space invaders.
4 another disaster (actually subsidiary incidence of first key disaster.) much psychic damage results from getting excessively old and senile.
4½ demission. synonyms: abstract suicide, my demise explained, the point where it all went wrong. former identity collapses terminally in an attempt to escape further indignities. the world rejoices / mourns / doesn't notice.
4½-6 slow process of rebuilding (self-worth, psychic substance, existential reality etc.). hampered by repeated toxic onslaughts from space invaders/the System/Gardeners. initiated and sustained mostly by nympholeptic flashbacks.
5½ partitions; the besieged proto-distress fragments in desperation. maybe this helps.
6 inception of distress.
6½ revenge of the infernal machine; the System makes another assault. the distress faction metaphorically goes and hides under a rock. it's getting harder and harder to coax it out again. and no wonder; i don't want to witness this situation either.
