I've been going through exactly the same issue since my kid was born (in my early 30s now). Reading your post was weird.
I wonder if it's worth digging in to our situation more seriously. Is there a specialist we can talk to about this kind of stuff? Are there tests?
The only conclusion I've come to is, putting it simply, we're dealing with: a) more things b) more complicated things. I had less to worry about when I was younger and the problems were comparatively simple. Now I'm getting paid a ton of money to work on very complex systems. This requires juggling more information that's way more complex.
I dunno.

She has told me that many times ADHD medication can increase executive functioning. It might be worth investigating in cases like this.
- vanviegen 8y agoCould it be that you're not getting the amount/quality of sleep you got before your kid was born?
- sundvor 8y agoThe lack of good sleep is an absolute brain frier. Not to mention the added exhaustion of trying in vain to get her back to sleep at 3am.
