I, too, am in a slump.
I was passive this weekend, mostly. And today was a bit stressful at work, and now I am feeling low. Not horrible, just a little down.
Overwhelmed with everything I can't keep up with, and wanting to go hide in a cave.
About a year ago was my worst depression ever, and perhaps there is a bit of an anniversary reaction. Also, I am wondering if I have a seasonal overlay.
I, too, have that feeling that when things aren't great, it is because of my core flaws, etc. which is I think, similar to what you are describing.
Anyway, enough about me....
I am impressed that you could actually read your fairy tales and sew the pullover despite not getting a lot of joy (as you would expect to) out of them.
Mostly, perhaps you need to offer yourself a little patience? Allow yourself some days of being grumpy without it having to stir up all the sense of inadequacy and thinking about death?
