Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?

Just remember this. You are NOT alone or wierd. Everyone goes through some dark times. @ oldhvymec has given very good advice. @hilde45 also. Everybody gets some heartache in life. Nothing will save you from it IMO. But we get through it, usually stronger & wiser. This too will pass. The good times will reemerge and you will enjoy life again. And talk to friends. Do NOT isolate yourself.Not good. Reread  oldhvymec's post

It once happened to me in the past.
I was not in a mood to listen to music.It made me feel worst.
And My system is a good one.
I asked an audiophile friend , if music was that important in life.
I almost put a blanket on my system . So much money for what ???
I hated it , ….and many things  in life.

I shifted to television for a while. But I gradually came back to music . Fortunatly , I have not sold my gears .
You are not alone .

@Jay73 sorry to hear you're struggling with some personal issues. I find it interesting you'd pose your question in this forum. Why at least 50% of us are crazy. Why else would be be audiophile know-it-alls? lol 

No doubt you have already done some things folks suggested -- and forgive me if I overstep, that's the last thing I want to do -- but I need "friends who are closer than a brother" in my life. (cf. Prov. 19:24).

I learned long ago that I need others who are like minded, headed in the right direction, maybe some older, some younger, whom I pursue. I've worked very hard over the years to develop these "closer than a brother" friendships. In my world, my closest friends are Believers so we're "on the same page" in many ways. We've gone through major health issues, family problems, adult children problems, cross country moves, deaths in our families, you name it. No one judges the other; we're simply "there" for each other. I encourage our adult kids and folks in my sphere of influence that you need this kind of community all your life and you cannot wait for others to take the initiative. I chose years ago to pursue people -- no tit-for-tat -- if they don't call, pursue, invite, no sweat. I work to be a good friend and over time, solid friends emerge. Some relationships are transitional and that's OK. 

Technology and Covid have driven us away from community into even more isolation. In a way, audio is kind of a isolation hobby (granted, much more than a hobby for many of us) but we need face-to-face connections and friendships.

Whether it's a good beverage, cigar, cookout, firepit, sitting on the porch or patio... if you are not already hanging out with good people, pursue some. Maybe some audiophiles in your area? 

Press on. Be of good courage. I hope you find a love of many things, not just music! 

I find that i need to listen more during the bad times good music on a good system seems to calm me down.

bless you brave OP. get help if it gets too dark. Let me know if i can help.
