Is it normal i'm pathetic

I feel like a loser. I have no motivation, no drive, nothing pushing me to do better in life. From the outside looking in, things look good. I'm 24, married, have a beautiful 2yr old daughter. I'm attractive, in good shape, a good career, nice car. Everything looks good, but inside I feel empty. I used to have a fire inside of me, I used to strive to be great. I'm a musician, an artist, and a very talented one. I even have a good quality home studio that I (used to) use to make my own music. But lately I haven't even been doing that. It's my passion, it's what I'm good at, but I don't even have the fire inside of me to grind it out anymore. I'm just, here. I'm just alive. I exist. That's it. I'm pathetic.

    You sound depressed, not pathetic or a loser

      Not depressed, not suicidal, not angry or moping. Just being realistic about where I'm at in my life.

        I think you are depressed. Trust me I've been for more than 10 years. You have all the classic signs. I'd suggest you get out and find motivation elsewhere. You probably need a change of scenery for a bit. Try to think positive even if the feelings are dragging you down. Hope you get out of your funk otherwise get checked. There's no shame in that. It could most likely be a chemical imbalance in your brain that doesn't release enough serotonin, basically your "happy juice".

    Are you making music you don't want to? We all feel like that sometimes. I'm a frustrated musician and failed writer, I have depression and anxiety. But I try to find joy in the small things and love those around me.
    Try a change of air, travelling, learning something new.
    Hope my post is of some help.

    I think you need to find something new. Not permanently, just something temporary to refresh your mind. You probably know by now that making music is all about inspiration, you can't just force it. Take a break, a vacation or something, be spontanious, let inspriation find you.

    I for one, would give ANYTHING for the musical talent you probably have in your pinky finger, so it's hard to understand why your music isn't your salvation.
    To just be able to sit on the settee and play an instrument well, would be enough for me to feel fulfilled in life. ♪♫♪
