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

• When I look back on good times it tips straight into aching for how things used to be
• I’m in a low stretch and it feels like nothing good is happening, and it doesn’t even occur to me to go back and actually relive one of the genuinely good moments I’ve had
• Good moments rush past me before I’ve even taken them in
• Something genuinely good happens and I just sit on it
• I finally do the big things I’d longed for, and then within months the whole experience fades into a vague "that was nice"
