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

I was unsure how to pose this question.

I don't mean in a any technical capacity, as in, your system for some reason is not sounding good and therefore you can't stand to listen to it or some component is not functioning correctly.

I mean in the sense that your having some issues in life perhaps that is affecting you emotionally or mentally and you are unable to enjoy your system.

For me there is some personal issues that has been affecting me and my family for the past couple of years and there are times I just am not able to sit down and enjoy the rig.

For the past month I have been unable to bring myself to listen to anything. Heck, even hardly been on this forum.

I know different people deal with issue's in different ways. Some might completely immerse themselves in their system to forget about the world for a little bit.

I mean that would make sense. Music is not just enjoyable but therapeutic. 

I should actually be using my system even more in these type of times but I usually just seem to lose interest in things I like when I am a bit mentally disturbed due to some issue going on.

So I am just curious, do you any of completely turn away from your system or the opposite, immerse yourself even more?

Thnx

Sure.  Serious listening can be a a really involving experience, but like most involving experiences, it is actually work. I often find it easier and more what i want to play music on other systems more int eh background - rather than go, sit in one place, and pay close attention.  Normal IMO.
of course sometimes the big system provides the background music too ...

There is nothing abnormal about your experience. Pretty much everything in this world is cyclical. There is very little that is unaffected by this--  relationships, weather, politics, hobbies such as audio. . . and, of course, human emotions. 

I don't know if this is true in your case but when strategies we rely upon for self-soothing fail to do the job, it may be an indication that it's time to deal with whatever is troubling us more directly, instead of focusing upon relieving the symptoms.

@sheridanmartinj:

Why don't you find a more appropriate forum for your proselytizing?

And no, I'm not an atheist.

I do not see anything "brave", bold, or fearless about posting anonymously to an internet forum actually that is not brave at all.

Apparently you believe and are convinced that somehow although there is a LORD somehow he managed to screw up when it came to us humans it’s odd that you’ve forsaken reason for Faith.
