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

• At the end of the day I can feel whether I was patient or short-tempered, but it all blurs
• My days just dissolve one into the next with no real reckoning
• My days mostly run together as fine-to-bad, and even when something genuinely good happens it slides off me by bedtime
• I get to the end of the day and the only things I can recall are what went wrong
• 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
