*hugs* Nothing helps a creative spirit like a creative sucess. Pull something out of the bag that you haven't shown to anyone, or show something you know is good to someone who hasn't seen it yet. Posative feedback helps a great deal. Failing that burn a building to the ground and watch the flames. They solve everything. Pretty pretty fire. For sensible (but boring) advice try asking someone else. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Sounds like depression to me...steveotepJanuary 5 2006, 22:13:10 UTC
*more hugs* theperkygoth and I go through spells like this, but usually at different times so we can support each other. So talk to sympathetic friends about it.
Is it reactive depression or chronic depression? We are chronic and get set off by all sorts of things, but even saner people can get depressed if there is some unresolved stress in their lives. Are family getting you down, are you being bullied or do you really hate your job?
"A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but are really thinking about a mother."
We both have family who can cause mental distress at 500 miles range, but we still love them. It can be hard going to university and then going home and getting treated like a kid again.
Finally see if you can get some counseling, which can help if you have some issue you don't feel you can discuss with family or friends.
Ahhh, I know that sometimes its difficult to get enthusuiastic about things... we can't all be happy shiny people all the time! But don't worry, I'm sure your creativity will come back soon - it's probably gone because your stressed about something and have just been ill.
