Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?

Definitely depression, or on the verge.....live with one who does in a bi-polar fashion.  Not severe, but there are times.....

I hope Jay gleans insight and solace from the overall response from all...and admire how some so quickly stepped up with concern.

Not shrinks, but experience shared and thoughts engendered do count. ;I

I think this thread shows we are ALL broken to some degree. It manifests in each a bit differently, but still exists. To see an outpouring (for the most part) of complete strangers supporting someone struggling speaks volumes to the overall nature of the people here. I would guess we have a “membership” of 99.9% men. We tend to not want to express or show weakness of any kind. It is in our nature. But here we all are doing just that, and being lifted by each other. Bravo!

my mood def affects my enjoyment of music so that when very stressed or feeling low for any reason I tend not to listen to it. Hope you find your way back to enjoy listening again, for me and I'm guessing most other audiophiles out there music is food for the soul. without it I miss the frisson but am unable to experience it when my mood is badly affected, a double edged sword.

I feel sincere gratitude to all responding to OP and to OP for his post. Many of us had/have some similar experiences,. Responding to such kind of question could be more valuable than a technical advise regarding a particular gear. Compassion that you express is important and can well be encouraging and helpful for OP. 

I found it particularly useful to create some kind of intimate (positive) feeling and relation with my audio system. Enjoy both, the SQ and the music. Depending on your mood, try to decide which kind of music may please you. Sometimes I find it calming to listen to silence. 
I have a very specific attitude and relation with each of my (three) audio systems. Independently of the cost of each of them, i enjoy all of them in different ways.  Try to create an intimate relation with your system as if it were a member of your family. Despite  your personal problems, do you still communicate with the members of your family/friends? So do the same with your system.

Dependencies are no good,  but here in this world we always depend on many things (as an extreme example, we even cannot exist without an air - our existence is subject to the environment and one small component of this environment is our audio system). 

To keep things fresh, I dial up either Qobuz or Primephonic and happily choose what musical morsel I might next want to listen to. Will it be something I'm familiar with? Or something/someone I've totally never heard of?  And yes all you literalists, I actually do dial up my choices...on the ethernet-connected payphone/PC presently parked in the parlor.
