I've got a RC-3 full.of half baked ideas, semi riffs, meandering chord progressions... all incomplete due to the search for the next must have pedal...
I can't sit down and play anything without getting bored. If I try to create something I end up obsessing over the same chord patterns and melodies, knocking pedal on and off and getting nowhere.
I do play acoustic and seemed to be getting somewhere a few weeks ago, but even that inspiration had dried up.
I've got an acoustic vision in my head, but time constants and procrastination always gets the better of me. Frustrating.
You might find out Fretboard jams worth it - sign up to a song and you then have something to learn with a meaningful chance to play it live...

The thought of playing in public makes me feel physically ill. I'll have nightmares tonight.
Seriously.

Once I played in the front room after the Mrs had gone to bed. She told me the next day she wasn't asleep and could hear me. I was horrified and couldn't pick up the guitar for a fortnight.
A few have come along to Jams who have similar feelings. If you want, we could work out a way to introduce you to the idea without it being a complete nightmare. There's other rooms where its 2 or 3 people jamming to a tune and no more. All relative beginners, all struggling and all making their way through it slowly.
Honestly, and for me, it's playing live with other musicians that keeps my interest fully topped up - nothing like it. And I'm not a confident person. In fact, I get proper bad nerves before a gig. Real bad. But once into it, it's a different game.
In that case, try fretless. Bass or guitar.

got him up doing rhythm once as he did fine though shaking a little a enjoyed it.
Fast forward 6 months and I just watched him go up at an acoustic jam and sing and play 4 songs solo. And what a fine job he did.
He's now working up courage to try a little busking (may take him a long time again but sure he'll get there).
If he can battle anxiety bad enough he was often too worked up to even walk in the pub then i reckon anyone can do it... And i guarantee if you managed it (even after a few months of going and maybe just going up and playing with a few songs for someone else) your sense of achievement and so on will be off the scale.
eventually you'll be enough part of fixtures it will feel like home and the massive gains you'll get from watching, hearing and playing with others live would be well well worth it.
Understand if you don't but really really reckon you'd be doing yourself the biggest favour if you did. And like i say go along as audience. Even hearing people do songs in a totally different style to original cab give you some great ideas for home
anyway this is your story and with above said do you always wanna be thay scared to have even someone hear you or would you like to be able to enjoy playing with others here and there. If its the latter then take some baby steps and go out and listen.
Recording is something I'd quite like to do, but as mentioned above I'm getting bogged down.
Maybe I should learn something new for inspiration, or maybe I need just one more delay pedal....
I'm not thinking about treatment, I just don't want to do it or even think about doing it!
