CT came with a very interesting comment yesterday in this thread:
What five campfire should you have in your locker.
I have read your post earlier and just looked through the comments. After reading through other posts and watching few videos, I suddenly remembered your post and thought, maybe this could be an inspiration to get out of that “stuck spot” 
CT posted a video link about chord progression. Very interesting. He also wrote “I would suggest “depositing” chord progressions” which my theory is not good enough to understand at all.
But I don’t need that much theory to be able to have a clue about chord progression and using the circle of fifth. There is even this one that can do some work for me: Circle of Fifth interactive wheel
Also I need just very basic understanding of scales and modes, hardly any time invested. Then we are good to go on the wildest exploration. 
The narrator in the video also at one point say something like this “else we are stuck doing the same chords over and over again”. That point I recalled this post, so maybe this could be it for you!?!? With the very best wishes, that something somehow can brighten your day and especially getting fun and joy back into your Guitar Journey
