I coped with kids and a busy career, so why was I suddenly overwhelmed?

I related to this article a little too much. I, too, began to collapse under stress in my mid-40s.

    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.
