Hi Guitarboy,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and progress.
I have also felt those same symptoms. So I know what you are talking about.
There is no crime in being human, sharing your emotions and what you are currently feeling.
Those two symptoms are pretty heavy going on the mind. Well that's how it is for me.
Emotionless, that flat everything is a chore felling, zaps my energy. The loss of drive to do the things you love like playing guitar, I hope you have not lost yours.
Being a guitarist myself, I never thought I would stop playing. It was my life and I did it professionally for decades. To losing that passion is a struggle for me at the moment. I hope you have not lost your passion for the instrument.
I find that simply forcing myself to simply pick it up and play changes everything. (Even if I don't feel like it) The simple act of putting one foot in front of the next, then the next, edging my way to the guitar or drum kit and play can snap my mind into gear. Before I know it, I'm lost in the love of sound.
Social isolation really hits me bad. Yet again, I know if I for myself, I know it can be uplifting.
I encourage you to keep playing your guitar. (Your name "Guitarboy" inspired me to write)
I will keep an eye open if you feel like adding to your post.
You have inspired me to pick up my guitar, I love your courage and attitude. It is awesome.
Please write back when you feel the need. Let me know how your guitar playing is going.
All the best.
IF
