As I’ve gotten older, my inner voice has been getting ever quieter, and now I often go long stretches without it. Like you, I sometimes feel like my inner critic has been saying something nasty, but mostly the thing has just shut up, which is very nice! At the same time I’ve gotten over my depression (never officially diagnosed, but I’m pretty sure I had it). Coincidence? I think not, but I don’t know which is cause and which effect, or just how it happened, so I don’t have any advice.
