To me the antidote for this is twofold:

1. Go on a gear purchase "fast". Do not even consider purchase of any new software or hardware until you have woodshedded out at least a new 25% of the gear you already own. For me, these fasts last 5-10 years.

2. Force yourself to play out in front of people either live or by raw recording simple voice and instrument. Do open mics, form a band or join one. Learn how to play bass. Buy one if you have to violating rule 1. Bass players that can hold down the low end and not get in the way are in high demand. You can get a very gig friendly bass at Rondo for just over a c note shipped to your house. I learned the fretboard by forcing myself to play bass and now I get asked to play in two different worship bands and I'm enjoying it. My guitar playing has ratcheted up as a result.

3., yes I know I said twofold. Write songs. Lots of them. Don't talk yourself out of it. Practice writing. Share the songs no matter how raw they are recorded. Work on this until it starts to feel natural. Work on it until you can say "I'm a songwriter" and you feel honest saying it.

All of these will distract you from the computer and hone skills that once its time to return to the technology, will only help not hinder.

That's been my journey so far.
