The funk is that mood or sentiment where a person starts to feel like one is drifting, going nowhere or completely lost. A person who's got the funk will often be depressed, question their reasons for coming or staying along with feeling constantly lonely even when not alone.
This could discribe a certain stage of culture shock for people who have been in Japan for a few years, but I wonder if long-time residents of 10 years or more also get the funk. How would such a person cope with the funk, knowing that leaving Japan is not an immediately option?
have you or someone you know ever had the funk? How did you/they deal with?
