Look, DON'T GET DISCOURAGED over small stuff. You must love music; that hasn't changed. You have your favorite composers to listen to and to play; that hasn't changed. I think it's too easy to fall into a self critical spiral (particularly if you're doing regular recording of yourself - play five minutes; listen five minutes etc.). Just try to forget all the extraneous stuff and enjoy music for music's sake again. Give yourself a break from all the analysis (John Yeh used to say "analysis is paralysis!").
It may help to go to a reed/mouthpiece that worked and just stick with it for a few months until you're 'back on your feet.'
It's just a phase.
