(Solo-founder in the middle of a last pre-launch crunch): all the emotions I had (excitement, fear, doubt, fun, confusion) seem to have been dialled out to white noise and I find myself in a moment of almost zen like tranquillity. I know what I need to do and am just doing it. I get up, go to my computer, work and go to bed. I do this 6 days a week and spend day 7 re-assuring my girlfriend she's not in love with a robot.

It's not sustainable, the end's in sight but perversely it's quite liberating. I feel like I've finally achieved complete internal acceptance of what I'm doing.

Sounds like you are approaching burnout my friend. Beware the unsustainability of this approach. Launch is simply the start of a long journey. If the launch fails to get traction, will you have the energy to continue?
