Starting strength is a good program but only for beginners. The intensity ramps up quickly after the first few months and it's hard to stay consistent at that point.
If you give it another go, I'd recommend dropping the weight again when it gets really intense. It's very ok to drop the weight and rebuild again. I do this often.
In fact, I just rebuilt back to my pr after feeling like my form was suffering under load.
You'd be surprised how much you learn with the bigger weights and then you can apply that learning in the lower weight lifts.
That said... don't worry about he program as much as worrying about working out. Stay consistent with working out. Do some body weight work. Do some mobility stuff. Revisit the big lifts again in the future.
