Hi Just Fred!
This is normal and has nothing to do with your equipment. Would a painter throw out their brushes, paint and canvas when experiencing this?? NO! Because that would be blame-game instigated by somebody who is insecure or is selling paint, brushes or canvas!

You need inspiration and a goal.
1) Join a camera club.
2) Take a class, even an online class will give you homework.
3) Go to the 500px website and search on your favorite subject. You will probably be dazzled... Pick your favorite photo and challenge yourself to imitate it and beat it's ranking- I.e. Create and post a superior version of the same photo.
You will be fine! Everybody here has gone through this to some degree!
Good Luck,
Paul
