Tell it like the French...
There's a French term: nadir - the lowest point, the minima, the trough. I'm at a current nadir right now after having spoken with the phone to a relatively new friend about, among many other things, a comparatively old friend.
I will largely recover from this nadir in short order. Beijing is getting to be too exciting right now. But I fear part of that nadir will always dampen everything I do for the rest of my life.
There's a certain comfort in this you know - perhaps I'm finally free of fearing my life. Come what may. Come what may.
