Have you ever been so into something (be it a hobby/activity. Not exactly talking about a person but if that's how it applies to you then feel free to share) that you love it so much and then lately it has become attached to a hurtful/negative memory or event that doing this one thing that you love has become painful as well? Now you feel stuck in a rut and down all of a sudden because of this.

How do you deal with that without giving it up? Or how do you find new interests/hobbies so you can take a break from it and maybe later come back once the depression is over, etc?

Well I'll quit being vague - drawing has that effect on me lately. The very thing that motivated me to draw seem to be crumbling into pieces. I have come to a point that I still love art regardless but right now my inspiration is crushed so I dunno where to go from here and it's kinda making me feel depressed. >_<

I am trying to get back into gaming though but nothing has jumped up to me and caught my interest so far.

Yikes sorry for sounding so emo. But basically I am just curious to know if this has happened to anyone here so I don't feel so stupid for feeling this way lol..or if anyone has any advice.
