Did you also "hear" a sound in your head like a guitar string breaking when it happened?

I don't think so, but your comment sounds super familiar. I think we may have chatted about burnout before on another thread on HN?

I did once have an experience with nitrous oxide where I heard something similar and subsequently had a pretty major shift in my thinking process for awhile.

I think I may have read it on here before, this thread just jogged my memory and I figured I'd ask.

I do distinctly remember reading about this particular metaphor, but can't for the life of me remember where and in what context. Hopefully someone here can recall?

Can you explain more?

It's just something someone described their brain "breaking" as, and I was curious whether the GP had the same symptom.
