  • I get your point but at this point I get more satisfaction simply progressing and completing rather than overcoming harder difficulties. It’s a trade off I guess but I have a huge anount of games I haven’t even played so I guess It’s quantity over quality given my free time and that’s ok, I can change the difficulty back at any time but yes, I’m sure it impacts the enjoyment from the gameplay itself.

    I’m definitely feeling this.

    My schedule makes it hard to play online with people I know and I hate playing with randos.

    I switched to single player games on easy mode just to be able to make progress and get through some of my huge backlog of games.

    It is starting to feel a little forced though.




  • It kind of sounds like you’re describing bipolar disorder. These cycles of up and down.

    You said this low period always happens right after your most creative periods. Depressive cycles typically last longer than the manic phase which is what you described.

    Not a doctor obviously but I lived with it undiagnosed for a very long time. Maybe read up on it and see if it fits your experience.

    Whatever it is I hope you find some relief.

    I’m with you. Similar age and all that.

    You’re on the right track and doing the right things.

    I would just say the process of finding the right medication(s) can be a long and frustrating process but very worth it in the end.

    You try a new med, you have to titrate up to treatment dosage (weeks) only to find It’s not right, some meds you need to titrate back down before you can try the next one. Just to try out one medication could take a month or two not to mention usually monthly specialist visits. People get burnt out and lose hope that anything will work.

    It might have taken me a year to land on the right combo so if you go the medication route be patient until you find the right one.
