DEMOTIVATIONAL / CRISIS BURNOUT

It's not the worst in a sense of "Oh, I kinda lost interest in working for a little while" but more in the sense of the "real-life detrimental problems" kind. Or there's the "Beat your inspiration down" version, that hurts almost just as much, especially when its been your whole livelihood since you've been born. If the inspiration screws up, that's fine since there's always room for recovery. But the people who find their way in and somehow make things not-as-should-be, then that's what can drive me away. Or when you find out you're living in an endless cycle where nothing matters anymore and you're just figuring out you've just lost control of your life to where you just wanna stay up at 4 AM in the morning wasting away at your computer or phone while you make chocolate pudding in the kitchen just to eat, and then you feel like you wanna just waste away but you can't because there's loads of weight on your back that'll all crumble if you even so much as break an ankle and you realize you just can't escape the drama while your only source of entertainment that's new just gets beaten to smithereens so all you have left is all your old stuff and whoever may be visibly available if they don't live miles and miles away and only can visit at least once or twice a year.
