Pace yourself. Get a new plant. Get a new pet. Process. Avoid trying to "replace" what is gone. Instead be patient before discovering "something new".

It's mostly the gas pressure, and is only mildly influenced by temperature.

Yes. With the turbo it's commonly called "Spooling up".
Also, the turbo benefits from air temperature differential (hot exhaust vs. cold intake air).
On really hot days you may get reduced performance impact. (It still works)

Just to add some detail.
A supercharger is normally driven by a belt/chain/gear attached to the crankshaft (central spinning part) of the engine.
A turbocharger is driven by the outgoing exhaust gases from the engine. For this reason, there can be a little delay between pushing on the accelerator and actually getting the boost in power.
Both of these may be used in a frugal sense to get more *efficiency* from the engine, or in a performance sense to get more *power* output (or a little of both).

You feel like maybe you don't have the skills for the job (or task) you've been given.
E.g. You can write software. You get a job. You google a lot. You worry that the other programmers probably don't google so much. You feel insecure.

Don't overdo the stretching or massage.
Squats and deadlifts but start very very light and increase the weight slowly with a major focus on form.
Edit: beginner? Get a coach and lots of guidance
