going through same shit RN. I fear that i have chosen art just to keep being my typical disorganized, inconstant self, instead of adhering to any routine or responsibility.

After I snapped, I was in a moment of lucidity and got worried and called my mom. She made an appointment with a doctor she knew. I went there a few times telling exactly what I felt and was doing. Got diagnosed with bipolar disorder, to my shock as I always dismissed that as a spoiled tumblrina meme. Now I'm deep on lithium.

I basically lost all my will to create something.
I have no motivations whatsoever anymore, and yet there's nothing else than remotely interest me, thus I spend my days doing nothing.

I feel like a fucking disgrace, please send help, I want to feel the joy of drawing again.

I don't follow Terada's stuff as much as I should. My hatching hardon comes mainly from Moebius.

Here's your help - it's the answer you already know solves your problem. It's the answer you don't want to address, even though you know it's the only way.

Start saying "today I'll get back at it" and fucking do it you little faggot.
