This is exactly how I am feeling right now. I have felt this coming on too and tried to turn it around before I lose my balls. I only need one ball going to keep me going, but I have nothing right now. All of them have stopped.
If I can get one ball rolling, even a little bit, I concentrate on it and try to get it rolling better. What this does for me is gives me hope at the same time forget about my balls that aren't rolling. Then I start feeling better, more confident, "lighter." I keep rolling the one ball, but I don't push it hard. I just ride it and help it sometimes. Before I know it my other balls start to roll ever so slowly. Once they are going they are easier to manage.
I don't know about your balls, but mine are "self, marriage, family, and work" mainly. There are more, but I don't feel like thinking too hard about my balls right now. I lean a lot on my spouse, but she couldn't care any less about my balls right now, so I have to lean on something else.
I have a couple things in the works. Some new balls! Like a T. T-ball. Going to see if I can get the self ball rolling with my T and screw the other balls for now. Self is the most ignored one usually anyway and should come first. I am finally learning that.
Good luck with your balls. Here's a gentle push for the one you would like to get rolling the most (uffda!)
