Do any of you ever have the equivalent of writer's block regarding answering questions?

For the last several months, I seem to have a hard time answering questions, or at least getting motivated to answer them. For awhile, there were a lot of really boring questions, but now that more interesting questions have started appearing, I seem to be out of steam.

I chalk part of it up to being busier than usual, and still suffering from insomnia, so I’m more tired when I would normally be answering questions, but sometimes I just feel like I can’t give an adequate answer, even though I know what the answer is, or know that under more ideal circumstances (not sure what that would be) I could easily answer and give a worthwhile answer.

This last week, I didn’t even look at Fluther for several days in a row, which is not like me. I just felt too exhausted, and when I did check in last night, there were a bunch of Q’s that I would have normally have answered, but I just sat there. It’s not like I didn’t know what to say, I just couldn’t seem to push myself to say it.

I’m probably just in a slump. Maybe it’s a side effect of taking Valerian. Who knows.

Have any of you ever had a period (not when you left Fluther) when you just couldn’t answer questions? Do you know what the cause was? How long did it last?

I’m not feeling depressed and I’m not sick or anything, I just feel un-motivated to answer, mostly due to feeling a bit more tired than usual. It’s kind of a drag, because I feel like I’m sitting on the sidelines.

This may be a related, or un-related, thing, I have noticed that every two or three days, food which would normally taste fantastic to me, has almost no flavor at all. Then it’s totally fine the next day. I’ve suffered from nasal allergies for years, but it has never effected my sense of taste. I wonder if this has anything to do with the answering blockage?

Any ideas about any of this?
