Right, this is my moment to shine!
We build a tolerance for caffeine. Fortunately we can safely quit cold turkey, give it a week or two, and the caffeine sensitivity recovers for the most part. Might be worth a try.
Could also be that, like a good 1/3rd or so of the population, your mental health has taken a bit of a battering after the last two years. Speak to your doctor.
Also, how much do you sleep? The idea that lots of people don't need much sleep is largely a myth. Only a tiny handful (single digits per million) have the particular gene that allows that. The rest of us need a solid 8-9 hours, consistently, to be fully rested. This becomes more true as we get older (cruelly, along with falling a sleep and staying asleep becoming harder).
Lastly, just so you know: decaf is not caffeine free. It's more like 50%
