I know the feeling, but really I just quit/slow participating for a while. The equipment/skills/supplies remain it's already paid for. The fish don't care I toss a 20 year old fly out. An M1 Garand is as effective now as it was 20 years ago Mills, lathes, granite flats, micrometers all work after all these years The tools/toys I know remain, it is up to me if I use them or notHobbies! I have too many and all of them cost too much. I'd be better off to pick 2 or 3 and give up the rest.
