    I still don’t know how to articulate the feeling I get seeing my country in decline but also seeing the world rearrange itself in a way that is probably healthier long-term as it happens. The Germans don’t have some long frankenword for simultaneous relief and deep unease at the same time, do they?

      As a German, I approve of your thought. However, I don’t know of any such word. Very unfortunate…

          “Urolettelse” is probably what you would get in Norwegian, the German equivalent would probably be very similar. It’s not an established word, but people would probably understand your vibe if you used it.
