depression

Even if the new situation has been accepted rationally, emotionally it has yet been digested. Often people are only aware of the irreversibility of events after completing negotiations and have signed the new conditions. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed by a strong nostalgia for the "good old days"; sometimes they can even fall into a depressive situation.

LET'S SEE AN EXAMPLE

Queen Elizabeth starts to list loudly everything the Prime Minister suggested she should do and, from the annoyed tone of her voice, we understand that she doesn’t agree with the result of the negotiations (Situation emotionally not digested). She states that the English people’s values have changed (nostalgia for the good old days) and suddenly she puts aside her arrogance questioning her actions and the possibility that her actions are damaging the monarchy (depressive Situation).
