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

• There are a handful of scenes I keep returning to
• There are a handful of moments where my whole life pivoted, and I’ve quietly decided what each one means
• I’m so convinced I’m "the one who always falls apart" that I can’t see anything else
• I’ve been writing down the thoughts that bother me, but I can’t tell which ones are just a bad-day reaction to one situation and which one is the flat, always-true verdict about me that keeps showing up underneath all of them.
• I taught it once, felt the rush of finally getting it, and stopped there
