I've never done that, but, I understand it.
Let's say you love pizza, but you eat it every day. Eventually it's going to suck, even though it doesn't really suck; you're just tired of it.
I don't read as many comics as I used to as I'm pretty busy with setting up my post-divorce life and getting my business growing, but, I'm still on here, still follow CBR and Newsarama and Comics Reporter and the Beat now and then.
Not buying nearly as many comics either as I'm thousands of issues behind, which is kind of crazy.
Still, do what you do. You'll probably be back, and that's fine.
Like my dad always says, all things in moderation (recovering alcoholic).

I think all of us have had comic book burnout, at one time or another.

I've been meditating for over 125 days straight. Usually 15 minutes a day, but I can't really say that a huge change has a occurred. I was in a really bad place a few months ago mentally. I started to excessively daydream. Started having fantasies of an alternate lifestyle. Disturbingly I want to say I got pretty good at it. Afterward, I broke down one day, it was bad. My wife helped me out. This was a couple of months before my son was born. I started meditating. Started with 5 minutes a day, then to ten, and now usually 15. Done a couple of 20 minute sessions along the way. I just try to focus on my breath while sitting upright in a chair. I use an app on my phone called Calm which provides a variety of soothing music or sounds appropriate for meditation. Sadly, I don't think any big change has occurred so far. I have stopped daydreaming. I can't even do it anymore really if I want to. At least not to the degree I could months ago. I still have bouts of anger, depression, and I'm just not any more productive than I used to be. A little demoralizing overall.
I'm not going to see a therapist, or psychiatrist either. I don't want to, and I'll leave it at that. I just thought meditation could help me lead a more productive life. Especially work-wise. Perhaps I was wrong. Not everything can be cured with the touch of a magic wand.

So sorry, PapaShogun. There are other ways to change your mood, maybe change the foods you eat or exercise . It might help to talk to friends , either live ones or the forum kind. You're always welcome here.

/bangs head on monitor
Raydeen is one of the most beloved anime series of the 70's, and has suffered retcons.
NOT 'toys'.
toys came 'after the creativity'.
gerrrrrr.
