Anyone here that is pushing himself too hard? My stomach hurts every day because every day I get mad about shit gains even though sometimes I do more than needed.

I fear that Ill get some mental diseases from pushing myself too hard and overall I feel really shit all the time. Its not easy to fix because I really want to be the best, like no one ever was and all that crap so I would like to know if there is anyone like me here

Smoke weed, nigga, it'll help. Or take a long, long fucking break, and forget to pick up drawing for the next 6 years; and wake up one day realizing that you draw like a 12-year-old still, and that your dream of becoming an artist is postponed until an unknown date (maybe that date is 'never') because you sat on your ass doing jackshit, thinking you'll get accepted into CalArts on giddy hope alone (like a protagonist of a bad anime); and maybe that promise you made to your dying father will never be fulfilled, that you will fulfill his failed dream of becoming a cartoonist like his father before him; maybe you really are the disapointment you feel you are. And when your 4-year-old cousin was dying of cancer and you promised to turn him into a cartoon character? Never going to happen, because you are a lazy cunt that nearly flunked out of high school and never practised drawing, and are now trying to wing it through a non-descript art school even though you didn't pass the admission exam (and the only reason you got accepted was because they needed to fill space; they outright told you that).

That's my experience experience, at least. This advice works for me.

Do you exercise? Trust me, it helps. Especially with your mood and self-worth. If you don't have a gym nearby, just go for a run.I understand that you want to push yourself, but this is a marathon. You have to settle for long-term, meaning that you have to get a job, get your life straight and manage your time so you can do the daily 3-4 hours of practice.

Getting so stressed that you're getting ulcers isn't good man

You don't have to be so hard on yourself and be so singularly driven by "improvment"

Have some fun, drink some beer if you're of age or like the 2nd anon said woke smeed

All that effort spent on stomach cramps and getting mad and feeling shit is effort not spent on drawing and improving. And you believe you are pushing yourself? lmao.
