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

• I do the same everyday things
• 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.
• My ordinary days just blur past
• The good parts of my day are happening but I’m never actually in them
• I get to the end of the day and realize I was barely there for any of it
