    I totally relate to being caught on the backfoot by sudden loss of competence. For me the loss of competence feels like a loss of value. And oof the overwhelm at simple to-do lists. I absolutely lost my shit yesterday, about how life is just doing tasks until you die.

      Cries in ADHD. Seriously, I thought I was having a midlife crisis. Everything is just struggling to maintain and trying to tick off as much as possible from the list and somehow the list never changes anymore.
