I kind of had the opposite thing happen to me, although I'm not sure if chapters 3-4 is what knocked me out of my funk.
I was losing my goddamn mind for like, 5-6 months straight and I'm still not sure the exact cause (if it can be one thing) but I think it was just insane burnout.
Then when after I played Deltarune again some part of me got sick of being miserable and taking things seriously all the time and it's like my inner critic basically died.
Now everything is going far smoother for me and I've tried other things besides keeping up a consistent schedule that was making me hyper miserable.
It's nice not being horrible anxious about stuff all the time and actually feeling like I'm making progress again.
It's also nice wanting to just try and do a ton of things again, and while I haven't actually gotten around to a lot of them, the few things I did try have been great.
Writing is awesome and I go into these fugue states that last for hours where I'm just enjoying the entire process.
Maybe I calmed down because I'll be 25 soon.
