Yup - I know a lot of teachers in that situation myself.
Personally, I was considering cutting way back on my piano accompanying anyway - and that decision seems to have been made for me. I'm like you in that I retired from my "real world" job in 2016, and the piano accompanying income, even though it could be fairly substantial at certain parts of the year, was really just a "nice to have" which, truth to tell, didn't require that much effort on my part (unless it was the Franck Sonata, or one of the Prokofiev Concertos, or, yikes!, the Bartok Violin Concerto, etc.). I had been thinking maybe I should devote my practice more to solo repertoire, but, so far, I haven't been practicing at all in the last couple of months. (The only playing I've done at all was a couple of days ago, when I was just playing through sections of the vocal score to Wagner's Parsifal.) Am I undergoing a bout of depression? Sure doesn't feel like it - although, like you, I feel sorry for my colleagues in the music field, who are seemingly unable now to make a living.
