you took a break for months, of course it's gonna feel like you lost it. math intuition isn't permanent if you stop using it, it fades quick. think of it like a language, you don't forget the basics but you get rusty as hell without practice.
the good news is it comes back faster the second time. you already built those neural pathways once, now you're just dusting them off. power through the frustration for a week or two and you'll be surprised how much is still in there.
