If this has happened to you, how did you readjust?
Not about sewing. But I have spent hours "couponing" and then got frustrated because it felt like the only thing I did all day was bargain hunt/coupon for things I didn't even really want. So, I've had to reevaluate and ask myself, "Do I really want to spend my days shopping for bargains?" (for things I don't want/use---but just to be able to say I got it?" I've had to say, "No, I don't want to." Now, I'm trying to shop for things I either need or just want (like fabric).
At this point, I can't imagine being where you are, but there is no shame in changing interests/energy. My mom told me I could have her fabric because she really doesn't want to even sew anymore. I've brought almost all of it over here to Poland and used a lot of it already in charity quilts.
