Still, she has a point. I've been a little worried about myself lately, and I think I might be suffering from a very mild case of depression: I'm not sad, I'm just deeply unmotivated. It doesn't feel like burnout, because work is great. I love performing, love my audiences, and am excited to be working on some new music. The last few weeks of my Italy tour, however, and a good bit of time since my return, I've felt adrift and somewhat joyless.
It's been exacerbated in the past few days by caffeine withdrawal, as I've gone cold turkey, but I'm nervous it might be a trend. I may need to start making some slight changes, particularly in accessing my deep local network of friends, and see if that helps.
