One is politics &#8212; after keeping away from news since November, I did finally Gaze into the Untempered Schism. I became depressed and anxious for several days. After that I started watching random Youtube shorts because I was too demoralized to focus!<\/p>\n<p>Another reason for loss of momentum is, I&#8217;ve had trouble setting up a person \/ group to report back to. My former tutor is swamped right now. And the Discord server I joined doesn&#8217;t seem to be a good place for me. I haven&#8217;t figured out how to behave in that environment. Instead of working on the music project, I&#8217;m obsessing about how much \/ how little I should say in the Discord, did I say the wrong thing, are they wishing the awkward old lady would go away etc etc.<\/p>\n<p>Back on track!<\/p>\n<p>My daughter has volunteered to be someone I can submit things to once a week.
