Sometimes, things are difficult and your skillset and personality exacerbate your current challenges, or you’ll have an off week, and it might feel like nothing’s working and everything is terrible forever.

Every time this has happened to me so far, the feeling eventually passes, and then the most important thing that I can do is put one foot in front of the other again and get back onto that horse, even if I don’t feel like it, because sometimes action can lead to emotion. If you’re trying to get out of feeling this way, uninspired action leading to positive emotion is probably what you need most right now.
