Jeff is a Spiral lad! Though his mind's clear here, back home he was kind of sort of possessed by an entity (not a demon in any traditional sense, but he'll call it that because it's what the brain defaults to on the subject of possession) that was incompatible with like.... the meatspace world and Jeff's fragile human everything.
So basically his sense of reality began to crumble (as did the entity's), and his every waking moment was a psychedelic nightmare indistinguishable from dreams / fantasy / etc. His sense of what's real and what isn't fractured and then he died and came to here with, uh, sudden clarity and silence, which is pretty overwhelming and is one reason Jeff's such a big fucking mess.
Fun fact: he misses the entity, its company, its obsessions, and the way it gave him a glimpse into unreality and all its possibilities and he kind of wants it back just as much as he fears it!
