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

• I walk everywhere already leaning toward the next thing — head down, pushing to get there — and even when I arrive I’m halfway to the thing after that.
• I get going on something with a lot of steps and then stall out partway because the next move is fuzzy, and every time I sit down I have to figure out where I even was before I can do anything.
• Even on a walk my mind is somewhere else
• I walk through my own home and neighborhood without actually seeing any of it anymore
• I walk all day completely up in my head, never once feeling my own feet hit the ground
