I went through something similar. First of all, assess what could have been the 'trigger' for this. You mentioned earlier that "Recently something's happened" so try and pinpoint the events surrounding that moment. Could it be because of the change in weather? Stressful news? A realisation that you made? You need to find what triggered you. In the same way that an event can trigger people into action, the same thing can happen but backfire people. If/when you find the trigger/s, inspect it. Was it in your control? Was it out of your control? Also know that perhaps other people have gone through something similar to you as per HN thread. And that it's part of life. Also know that many items in our lives are 'manufactured'. Now, your reaction. Is your reaction healthy or unhealthy? Sometimes giving your mind/body a rest is your body's way of survival. Maybe lay off on those side projects. Maybe lay off on the new technology and just focus on one. Or just lay off technology. -- * I can't be bothered barely get out of bed in the morning. -- Are you getting 6 hours sleep? Are you spending your time in bed mulling over your problems? Maybe schedule in something at 11am ie a meeting, a walk, a meditation session, to get you out of bed. It doesn't have to be every day but it can be once every 2/3 days. * I'd rather stare at the walls then touch a computer, frankly it's amazing I'm even writing this. -- Not everything revolves around the computer. Go out, go for a walk. Maybe yourself walk for 15 minutes, then 30 minutes. Set up a routine that involves your getting out of the building and somewhere else * There are loads of projects I'd love to work on but any time I have free time I'd rather go grab a pint or just do nothing at all. -- You could be having a creative block. Maybe do something else in relation to your project -- read books over a glass of wine if you need to drink, go out and get coffee to sketch. More to doing projects than being on a computer. * There are big problems to solve at work and in my head and I just can't get the motivation to work on them. --- Based on this, I don't think you are depressed or burnt out. I think that you are on a creative block!
