Yeah, I'm familiar with this feeling. since my symptoms have eased up, honestly I feel really weird and almost distressed. I don't know what to do. It's actually kind of depressing. I have a hard time working up the motivation to do things.

I assume this is going to pass and I'll figure out what I should be doing and when from other sources. But it's so odd not to have some little voice pushing me.
