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

• When something good happens I grip it and dread it ending, and when something hard hits I treat it like it’ll last forever
• I catch myself treating the people and things I love like they’ll always just be there, and I clutch and take them for granted in the same breath
• The good moments slip past me — a meal, my kid at this age, a season of life — and I only really feel them once they’re gone.
• Good moments rush past me before I’ve even taken them in
• The good moments slide right past me
