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

  • My days just dissolve one into the next with no real reckoning
  • My days just blur past and I never stop to look at them, so the same reactions I’d want to change keep happening on repeat
  • My days kind of blur together and I drift, always with a reason why it didn’t go how I wanted
  • 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.
  • By the time night comes my whole day has blurred into one undifferentiated "fine" or "rough," and I couldn’t actually tell you what happened in it
