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

• People feel out of reach right now and the connection I want from others just isn’t there
• I’m caught up in my own head almost all the time, and the rare times I really stop and take in a forest or a shoreline, I feel like a small part of something huge and alive
• My days feel small and self-enclosed, all about me and my own little concerns, and the times I’ve felt most lifted out of myself were when I was caught up in something bigger than me
• I feel cut off from everything, like I’m walled inside my own head and nothing reaches me
• My own problems have swollen up to fill my entire world and I can’t see past them
