That sounds like a fairly textbook case of depression. You should go to the doctor and get help, but failing that I found that simply knowing something was wrong did a lot to alleviate the problem.

People change. I find that my level of creativity varies...

Like the anon above points out, you may want to think about seeing a professional if this is causing you trouble.

It's possible you're just losing interest, which is nothing to feel bad about. Our interests change. But it sounds like you've been having a tough time lately and think your lack of interest has something to do with that. I think it can be normal to lose some interest in hobbies during really stressful times, but if the stress and depression isn't getting better, that's something to keep an eye on.

I've been in a slump myself for a while now, that's definitely been affecting my creative output. Personally, I've found that just accepting that, and recognizing it as a problem, has helped.

Hey it's ok. We all go through rough periods, in fact I'm kind of getting over a rash of bad events and problems that have been plaguing me since the start of the year, so I'm pretty sure I understand where you are coming from. I ended up pushing a lot of my fandom hobbies away, like drawing and reading stuff on forums. The most important thing to do is to get your rl back on track till you feel comfortable. Sometimes crappy stuff happening to you makes your old hobbies seem frivolous in comparison, but whenever you feel ready it's fun to go back to when you've got less on your plate. :)

I used to write for fun when I was younger, fanfiction and original. I stopped when writing started to feel like work and I became a bit of a perfectionist. I haven't written much fiction over the past several years.

I periodically contemplate trying to track down and erase all traces of myself off of the internet. Before, I never cared about leaving a trail. Now it bothers me.

I'd druther you didn't delete your stuff. Mostly because I hate it when a story vanishes. But also because it sounds to me like whatever the problem is, it isn't about your fic, and you'd probably end up kicking yourself for losing all that work later in your life.

I hope things get better for you, OP *Hugs*
