yeah I describe it as stuck drawers
I’m pretty sure what I need is in there, but can’t get it open easily.  Previous Message All these pieces of knowledge are seen through windows, and usually the windows are uncovered and I can see through them easily any time. But sometimes I go to look through a window and it’s like someone draws curtains or snaps blinds shut over it, so I fumble around looking through cracks and fiddling with hardware trying to figure out how to clear the obstruction. Previous Message Kind of feels like a glass wall? The word is there but you can't figure out what it is? Previous Message
It happens to me multiple times a week, which seems like a lot, especially considering I don't really talk to people that often. I don't know if it's just getting older, or if there's something wrong.
