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

• Some days I’m unstoppable and other days I’m flat for no reason I can name, and I have no idea what was actually different
• My moods seem to come out of nowhere and blindside me, and only afterward do I half-notice it tends to happen around the same situations
• I can see exactly which days I slip but I have no idea why some days I follow through and others I don’t
• I go all-out for a few days and then crash, and the first time I’m tired or busy the whole thing falls apart
• Some weeks everything just clicks and I’m killing it, and I have no idea why
