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


I was unsure how to pose this question.

I don't mean in a any technical capacity, as in, your system for some reason is not sounding good and therefore you can't stand to listen to it or some component is not functioning correctly.

I mean in the sense that your having some issues in life perhaps that is affecting you emotionally or mentally and you are unable to enjoy your system.

For me there is some personal issues that has been affecting me and my family for the past couple of years and there are times I just am not able to sit down and enjoy the rig.

For the past month I have been unable to bring myself to listen to anything. Heck, even hardly been on this forum.

I know different people deal with issue's in different ways. Some might completely immerse themselves in their system to forget about the world for a little bit.

I mean that would make sense. Music is not just enjoyable but therapeutic. 

I should actually be using my system even more in these type of times but I usually just seem to lose interest in things I like when I am a bit mentally disturbed due to some issue going on.

So I am just curious, do you any of completely turn away from your system or the opposite, immerse yourself even more?

Thnx

barts "Very brave of you to post this on the "audio" forum. "
I do not see anything "brave", bold, or fearless about posting anonymously to an internet forum actually that is not brave at all.

Apparently you believe and are convinced that somehow although there is a LORD somehow he managed to screw up when it came to us humans it’s odd that you’ve forsaken reason for Faith.
First, let me say that I'm not any kind of mental health professional - just to keep things clear.

I can, however comment on the OP's condition 'cause I frequently suffer from the same thing ............It's known as depression and can affect you in various ways. 

Seek some serious help. If you have a good relationship with your family physician consult him/her for a referral to a mental health pro. You might have to go through more than one before you find one that clicks with you. But keep trying, Believe me, it's worth it.

Allow me to clarify:  Many people don't post here for fear of being ridiculed which is quite common.  I suspect that once any person posts here they want to read the answer(s) to their question.  So, I conclude rightly or wrongly that it is a "brave" post to make simply because of its personal nature.

I believe many audiophiles deal with this issue in varying degrees.
I find that often when I can’t get any enjoyment out of my system it’s because I’m depending on it to be a panacea.
HiFi listening can be a source of pleasure but can’t be counted on to lift you up. The degree to which you enjoy your set depends the emotional state you bring to the endeavor. You want the music and good sounds emanating from your system to make you feel good, but it doesn’t happen if your troubled or depressed
