I'm just so tired anon. It takes so much energy. I don't hate the people coming through and I appreciate them saying encouraging things, it's better than being screamed at after all. When I finish the day I usually just fall asleep, and then fuck up my sleep schedule because of it. No matter how much caffeine or nicotine I have in my system, I can't seem to medicate myself enough to find the energy to do anything constructive with my time. I just keep watching documentaries and tutorials so at least I can feel a little productive even though I'm not. The optimist in me says "book your time better, make sure you're getting good enough sleep, exercise, eat well keep trying to get out" But every day brings a new flavor of hell

I remember reading somewhere that, more often than not, depression is caused by a lack of agency in one's life. I can absolutely agree. I don't feel in control, but I don't feel like I'm on autopilot either because I can't just let my lower brain take control and clock out mentally

I know about the hedonic treadmill and the story of Sisyphus. Art is the boulder that I enjoy carrying the most. Small, frequent wins are the best way to generate happiness and momentum. I can't seem to get that first win to gain momentum. I pick up the pen and the weight of the unfinished wip makes me want to put it back down and just doodle aimlessly, something that doesn't help me in the long run.

It's most likely that this step is just a phase bound to pass. It's just been 2 months of struggling and it feels like I'm at a point where something needs to change before I either drop the job all together and go into financial ruin or I snap

I mean, thanks anon. I'd usually just be posting art without captions or tags for the joy of it. I'm always more interested in art accounts that post just art, you know? Normies want more of a cult of personality thing though. Cheers

I keep trying to finish these illustrations but they never come out good enough. Why did I join this challenge? How do you guys do this? Everything keeps coming out wrong and its killing me.
