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

• My whole mind flips between "I don’t know enough to move" and "okay now I finally know enough" with nothing in between
• I’ve been frozen on this for weeks, telling myself I’ll move once I’m sure
• In the area I know best I hear myself laying down flat statements about how things are, no room left for a question
• I started really questioning something I was sure about, and now I’m standing in this uncomfortable place of realizing I don’t actually know
• I started thinking something through and now I’m less sure than when I began, and the unsettled feeling makes me want to just grab the first answer and move on
