(OP) User ID: 80430673 United States08/19/2022 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You’re not alone. I think many of us are experiencing low grade depression. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82626772 It's unfortunate for many, as it's draining. The whole covid and lockdown thing would've suited my creative habits perfectly, but it became the exact same time I took a creative dump. You're probably running low on serotonin.

(OP) User ID: 80430673 United States08/19/2022 03:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I might agree. It's a time loss. Time changes things. I'm kind of a metal guy, but I can't seriously promote myself that way at this age. I also see that sex appeal has a lot to do with creative opportunities, or opportunities of any kind. Once old, I feel like I have to brut force myself into things, whereas a younger me was welcomed even with less to offer. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 83697026 United States08/19/2022 03:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I feel you though, the past 3 years have been rough on me... creatively. Quoting: BFD Maybe even the past 6-7... The world is falling to shit and I'm not really all that good at disconnecting from that. I feel the same way. I'll try a hobby and soon be bored of it. Not to mention entertainment, and hobbies etc are expensive nowadays. And even going out is becoming not an option with how expensive it is and all the craziness out there. Between crime, shortages, and people. Everything sucks. Everyday it gets harder to get out of bed. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 83822354 Canada08/19/2022 03:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the last couple of years I have lost a ton of muscle, skinny as hell now and no longer strive for anything. I use to come home from work and work more, landscaping by shovel and wheel barrel, years of it and I loved to create, pathways, gardens, build sheds you name it. I do not want to be part of anything, no groups, no teams, I no longer call friends and family. for sure it is depression and aging as I am over 60. I am ready to be called home, returned to my maker as I do nit see much point of a fight or struggle to even live never mind better myself. the only difference from myself and panhandling junkies is I have a pension to live on otherwise I would have a short life on the street. sad state of affairs |

Once you are naturally self-aware, you will be aware of everything else. Literally what all the secret societies teach - without the sutt bex To do this simply ask yourself the following 3 questions as often as possible. What am I thinking? How do I feel? What am I doing? Good luck, old man. What am I thinking? How do I feel? What am I doing? |

Covid killed the last of what remained of shitty LA music scene. I soft retired once covid hit, all the clubs went under. Hardly touched an instrument, Began drinking a lot. Have since quit drinking, and while the scene is still gone, I'm practicing more with a fresh outlook on my concept, which is refreshing and a I feel a bit more inspired. Hang in there there is still shit to be done, but nothing wrong with taking as big a break as you need to feel inspired again. |
