I've been feeling creatively frustrated. I feel the need to pen and record music more than ever but I'm being tugged around by myself in different directions. The last album I put out on here, "The Papier-Mache Man" kinda tanked, I know I wasn't extremely happy with it myself and I chalked it up to just never being content with my work, but it seems other people didn't really care for it neither. I was really hoping for feedback on it to help me understand and the lack thereof has left me in a strange state of defeat and failure. I don't want my music to be lame and stale but I also don't want to hang it up yet. As for where I go from here, I wish I knew. I need to rediscover inspiration.
I'm a one man garage band

I think I'm working through similar problems, and I really feel for you. So, I want to be more productive. I want to make more music and all. I’ve just felt so bored and drained of motivation lately. There's a part of my mind telling at me to do something, anything, but often when I try it, I just lose all drive and motivation, like my brain is telling me it's not worth it, that it's not fulfilling.
I don't know, maybe it's best to keep trying anyway and hope for the spark to catch. Above all, be kind to yourself, and take a break if you need to. I wish you the very best.
Thanks man, I hope whatever's ailing yer creative process passes as well man. I don't wanna hang it all up yet, I'm hoping to at least somehow/some way make myself feel some sort of resolution through my music or find a contentment with something I can call a bookend for it all.

never hurts to take a break and recoup, take in musc and content.. and get re inspired..
keep doing it for you, and the rest will eventually fall into place.
