I've already tried two years of solo-study and it's gotten me nowhere, even when I've tried to keep my depression in check. Sure, I've improved (barely), but it's been hard to do it in a very isolated environment with no art culture or even casual socialization. Now that I've moved to an area with a semblance of an art community (with even figure drawing sessions), I could try another stab at it but my parents are getting antsy and I haven't made any reoccurring social contact with people my age since high school.

But my main point is that I feel like fucking shit that people younger but miles ahead of me get out-right rejected from art schools, so what will I ever be able to do? The last portfolio review I went to, I was able to get chances at scholarships but didn't take advantage of because of my shitty brain. Now that my skill:age ratio's shifted to be less favorable, and I guess the bar's been lifted even higher, what chance do I have in any art industry?

I don't even know if I'll get any better, in spite of my practice, even if I do double my hours.
