Stress tests
Spent a lot of this week under a sudden stress due to a big government bureaucracy thing that basically made me worried I was going to inevitably get in a lot of trouble.
I'm confident I've figured out a solid path forward now which is helping me slowly chill out, but boy, it sure was hard to concentrate on like, work and such when a big part of my brain was just dedicated to screaming at me on an unending loop

Definitely had at least one call with coworkers that I normally shepherd carefully through things where I legitimately heard about 20% of what they were saying, and just responded to everything with "oh, yep, that seems good! I think you've got it figured out, so, yeah, just go with that!"
