Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles?
I've just become completely lethargic lately. And there's some sort of mental block stopping me from working. It's kinda insane because I can work on other stuff, but as soon as there'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't explain shit.<p>I'm trying to slowly get back on the pony just because I'm ashamed of all the salary I've collected for what little work I've been able to do.<p>Haven't done therapy lately but one thing that comes to mind is how futile everything is. I know it's a cliché but I'm almost 40 so this isn't your regular teenage angst "nothing matters", I thought I was past that.<p>It might be rooted in the fact that I don't have kids, I haven'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?
