I have no personality anymore. Im a blank page.

I loved music, movies, photography, art. Now I don't do any of it, the last drop is not being able to listen to music anymore.

All the life I have left me, and I have no strength to try to reach back to who I was.

I cant even work anymore because I cant focus and get brain fog. I used to work really hard

Anyone has any tips on how to deal with this ?

Man, that's tough. My nihilism hits me for a week before I am able to recover.

Usually, I try to compartmentalize and focus on a small, doable task: make my bed, shave, do laundry. I don't know if you could apply that to music...maybe try to listen and enjoy one new song tonight.

I hope for your love for art returns.

I don't have any advice. I feel as I lose everything routinely. Physical, mental, emotional. Life is a series of resets. Each bringing me closer to the ending.

Something that helped me once was Zen koans, they are riddles with no true answer. The gateless gate, sound of one hand clapping, and so on.

For zen, to be no one, or no thing, is a level of enlightenment.

So perhaps I can share some joy with you that there are monks, right now, trying so hard to achieve what you have achieved.

(Their problem is that they are trying)
