I never used to be like this
I am 47 and just taken a new role that is leaving me almost paralysed with my inability to do stuff
Simple stuff like sending emails and making decisions
We predominantly work remotely and so send so many teams and emails that I barely have time to go to the loo.
I have big events next week and just so worried about not being able to perform

Breathing exercises and yoga

• medication
• change of circumstances
• nature
• singing (so much research on this and genuinely helped me come off my meds)
• exercise

Probably in that order!

CBT
Exercise.
Time spent outside each day

Sounds like perimenopause OP. Exactly the same here.

hRT, sertraline, daily exercise and cognitive therapy helps.

Medication.
