Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My everyday life — the dishes, the walk, the commute — passes in a fog while my mind is somewhere else entirely, and I want to actually be here for the plain, mundane moments instead of sleepwalking through them waiting for the parts that supposedly matter.
• I move through whole days of small encounters
• I disappear into the screen for hours and surface having completely forgotten what any of it is for
• The good parts of my day are happening but I’m never actually in them
• I lie down at night and the whole day reads as one undifferentiated blur of busy, and I genuinely can’t point to a single moment in it that felt like it counted for anything.
