Q: i'm not 11.22.19  8:55 pm , but kind of in the same situation. i have lost my creativity and ability to talk to people throughout the last year. feeling like my life is falling apart. i try to find joy in socializing again, or at least some sort of escape from reality. i really want to make other people happy, inspire them somehow, though i can't even help myself at the moment. would you kindly suggest something?
A: what always works for me in those situations is to start expressing myself in any way possible, whether it's written text, improvised music, or spoken words, even just discussing and anlyzing the situation. that's just because stirring up mental energy is the main way that i function and feel alive. it also gives me a lot of extra comfort to also know that i am documenting those expressions as a souvenir of the struggle. for me, that always works. i often recommend the same thing to other people, but actually i just realized that maybe not everyone else is exactly the same as me
