Welcome to the club. It sucks here. The only thing that works, for me anyway, is spending time in the woods hiking.

I would likely be outdoors on an extended trip.

Oh boy... I need to step out into the wilderness more :-D

Spending 24h in the woods, AKA “what used to be normal life”.

Walking a few weeks in the nature is precisely the point.

I was unemployed for a good stretch last summer/fall and would go hiking, backpacking or camping in the Sierra Nevadas almost every week.After the third trip in a month, walking among granite cliffs and alpine lakes I realized that I wasn't feeling much awe. To have those profound breathtaking moments in nature you need the contrast of months in civilization sitting on a computer. Same thing with special moments with loved ones, or anything that seems profound and makes you think &q

No offense but it sounds like you need to take a media break and get some air. Go camping.
