Dark Night of The Soul

Strangest phase. When everything just turns gray, all seems hopeless, you look like someone who never worked on himself at all, which is a nice blow to the ego.  The feeling is like grief, apathy, depression, something is dying (i am sure it is), nothing, absolutely NOTHING is effective in distracting myself a little, i am forced to feel my feelings, i try to stay mindful, present, to let go but it seems that there is always more to let go of. The boredom is a killer, not even spiritual talks or self-development material (which i used to love, as a self-help junkie) works anymore, i don't have the patience for anything and doing nothing is too painful. I am in that phase that it looks like i already know every fucking concept that i need, more information isn't going to help, which is a little disturbing. I see myself hiding from life, taking no action at all while "problems"  suddenly manifest all over the place. Sickness arises, the body is weak, painful, lazy, constant discomfort, for sure is a huge ego backlash. In truth, i kind of know what i should do, as it is not my first time, but i always love to hear your thoughts and experience about hard times in The Path.
