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

• I spend so much time sorting through what’s wrong and what I have to accept or fix that my whole field of view has narrowed to the problems
• I get a page of praise and one line of criticism, and the one criticism is all I can see
• This one problem has swallowed my whole field of vision
• My mind runs a constant scan for what’s wrong and what I’m missing, and even on days when plenty is actually fine I end up feeling vaguely deprived
• I’m burning myself out churning over things I can’t actually move
