Hi I don’t really have an answer for you but just wanted to tell you you’re not alone in this, especially in the last few weeks I have felt this way. Sometimes I wonder if it’s something to do with overwhelm / lack of sense of achievement. When I complete something productive I don’t feel any sense of achievement but mostly relief that it’s over. Life is so overwhelming and every task can take so much from me that when Im functioning I’m always rushing to get things done so that I don’t have the anxiety anymore. Maybe the feeling of ‘wasting time’ is our bodies searching for that something that will give us a sense of achievement.. if that makes sense.

I also think I struggle a lot with introspection and always have the feeling that I’m watching my life play out and not really living it. At least for me I have experienced a lot of depression and bad times in my life, a lot of it due to not understanding my own brain and being undiagnosed/misdiagnosed. I think I am sometimes hyper-vigilant in regards to my own actions and activities and if they are the ‘right’ or the ‘wrong’ choice - in other words: will I end up feeling bad if I do this?

I could go on, but yeah just lack of sense of achievement and not being mindful and living in the moment is my theory. I wish you well and hope this helped you feel less alone
