Sensory Overload? Im trying to put a name to this feeling

lately i've been having this sort of dissonance that's been hard to deal with. I often feel like I'm not fully present, sort of like I only have one hand on the wheel and that wheel is reality.

I feel this general sense of unease and confusion. I feel like 50 percent of my energy is being used to just remember who and where I am. Its like theres something I forgot to do and then all of a sudden i'm back in this conversation and everyones talking to me.

Even in small groups or one on one conversation I kinda fall in and out of what I was doing.

Is this just another part of my anxiety or something else? Can anyone relate?

It is also happening with me too. Its just stress, and because of covid 19 that we have to stay home, many other that generally dont have depression or anxiety are also experiencing this.
