I relate to your story in many ways and are as puzzled as you. I have gone through feelings of being normal and in flow, usually without meds., though they have often been part of what helped get me there. The best I can answer is that when I am not obsessing, sitting in indecision or suffering from confusion and fear and am just doing or being that's as good as it gets for me, which unfortunately is not often enough. And when I have a sense that my present is alright and so were my past and future. I don't get there enough unfortunately...
Others???
