Mid 20s Crisis..

These past 6 months my performance at work has been dwindling and one primary reason I attribute is memory loss. I find it difficult to recall key points of mails, design reviews, MoMs etc. and often end up missing out things at assigned tasks. What's scarier is that it not only applies to new concepts, I often find myself forgetting even formerly familiar things. During morning updates and discussions I find myself giving uncertain inputs and asking shaky questions because I find it hard to remember key terms, figures etc. I sometimes even forget to pick up some assigned tasks altogether. Random brain freezes have become everyday affair. . Sleep-wise it has been little medium-poor but not so bad that could explain such drastic changes. I'm 30 yr old, male, unmarried and don't have any major health issues (except some stress / anxiety and accompanying Irritable Bowel Syndrome condition). . If anyone else experienced this, how have you dealt with it?

Having worked in banking for a few years now, having no motivation to stick around. Is this mid life crisis or saturation? Are other millennials facing this too? Thoughts?

Recently read about something called short attention span and was taken aback by the very evident thing present in my habits and day in day out task that I carried out. Started observing in much more detail about how this is really affecting me and results are not really good. This is probably the root cause of all my unproductiveness. Feels like toddler now. Observations 1. mobile is directly or indirectly the reason behind this (Started reading books in order to overcome). 2. Trying to do multiple things at once eventually leading to doing nothing. You all get the gist. This is nothing strange. So wise people of grapevine how do you overcome this and also how do you reduce your screen time.

I have a feeling I have become dumb/dumber as the folks around me grasp things much faster ! I am a 33 year old guy and have been having this feeling since last couple of years. Anyone else in the same boat and if yes,what could be the reason behind this and potential solutions ?

Do you guys feel that all these years of hardwork, getting best education & hustle to get decent/top job is no way remunerative to what people on SM(insta/yt) influencers make by simply sharing their life/cooking videos/GRWM/nutritionists etc, which we audience consume mindlessly. Does this change in career mindset going to make children opt out of higher education? I see a lot of people below 18yrs to have below average scientific mind. Ofcourse, there are people in the same age group doing amazing stuff, building startups etc but an average kid seems lost in the digital space.

Do all late 20s (28-29 years) men face the same issues mentioned below? 1. Parents getting old- you don't want to see your loved ones getting old 2. Single earning member 3. Staying away from parents sucks as they need us more now. 4. Paying rent 30-40% of total in-hand salary in metro cities. 5. Less friends, even if you have more friends you don't want to express what you are going through. 6. No emergency fund- Agar koi emergency ayi to dosto ko paise mangne padenge. 7. Job switch - As the market is unstable, so you're afraid to switch and get laid off. 8. You want everyone around you to be happy, as your happiness depends on their happiness. 9. Unable to express what you are going through to people around you (wife, parents, friends, relatives etc) 10. Happy Wife Happy Life - You try to do things out of the box (which is beyond your reach) because it makes her happy. 11. What about our happiness? 12. Many more.... I'm going through this now. Sometimes I feel like I should talk to a person (who is anonymous to me and I'm anonymous to him/her) and express everything that is depressing me.
