Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles?
I&#x27;ve just become completely lethargic lately. And there&#x27;s some sort of mental block stopping me from working. It&#x27;s kinda insane because I can work on other stuff, but as soon as there&#x27;s a simple task for my employer my mind just wanders off.<p>And when I really try to focus I just go blank in my head. Can&#x27;t explain shit.<p>I&#x27;m trying to slowly get back on the pony just because I&#x27;m ashamed of all the salary I&#x27;ve collected for what little work I&#x27;ve been able to do.<p>Haven&#x27;t done therapy lately but one thing that comes to mind is how futile everything is. I know it&#x27;s a cliché but I&#x27;m almost 40 so this isn&#x27;t your regular teenage angst &quot;nothing matters&quot;, I thought I was past that.<p>It might be rooted in the fact that I don&#x27;t have kids, I haven&#x27;t found purpose yet. But the thoughts that come to mind is that this could all end tomorrow and wtf are we working for when we could be living?
