I've noticed that too with life changing events. It some how seems like it's always been. Such as my daughter moved out a couple of months ago. It seems like a year ago she lived here.
What about when an event seems both like it happened so long ago and at the same time yesterday? I had a right leg amputee that seems like happened in 1997 on one hand but also just last week? It was Nov. 2015
You say you went through a whirlwind of events. I would venture a guess that these events have fundamentally changed you in some way, and you are, in essence, a very different person now, than you were before December.
We define level of orientation by noting if someone is “Alert & oriented x’s 3”. The 3 are 1. Person (who are you) 2. Place (where are you) & 3. Time (what is today’s date or who is the POTUS, etc ...).
So, you could just say “Disoriented”.
When we are Disoriented, everything appears to be Surreal. And one may experience a Cognitive Dissonance. If time passes & you don’t remember it (missing time vs amnesia) that is called a Fugue.
Time can easily be manipulated. In order to test part of Einstein's theories scientists orbited one atomic clock and compared it to a stationary one on the ground. They showed exactly the time difference predicted by the theory as the orbiting clock was moving faster so time had slightly dilated. When you start getting up to 0.5C relativistic effects become significant. It must be a hell of a ride sitting on a photon (if one could do that).
You know photons have mass, very little but not zero. I'm no scientist but I wonder if a photon had no mass would it travel at an infinite speed? Maybe that slight mass is what slows it down to the speed of light.
