you ever think about giving up

art, life, pretty much like all of it?
I keep thinking about it. Keep thinking that the human experience isn't really worth it.

That said, you gotta spend your time on things that are rewarding for you. Take some time to reflect now and then and figure out what things aren't working, and what you can replace them with or how you can improve them.
Find something to live for. I live for my dog, and she's the one that makes those thoughts fade
I attempted a couple times a few years ago.. I was saved and have such deep regret for even trying to leave this world. We all have our times where things are so hard that it seems like the only way out. There is always an answer, always a choice, a solution. There is always going to be brighter days, you just have to take a deep breath and take life one day at a time. ♥
If you need anybody to talk to, I am just a note away! Please stay safe, and drink some water! ♥
The thing about mental health is that people try to use physicaly influences to heal a broken thought. Even though drinking water helps a headache, it might not fix the thoughts.
To combat hate, I had to take a LONG time to think to myself about "what's my reason? Are the haters... right? Am I wrong to be drawing this?" and such. In the end, for myself, I had to mull over my own world views and morals. Ironically, looking into how you think about art helped me jump over a lot of anxiety I've had. You're supposed to do whatever you want as art can literally be anything. People have strong opinions and backlash is only ever opinions.
I think we all fully support you taking a break to disconnect off of social media to heal. It's beneficial. There are way more supporters than haters, just sadly haters tend to be more more noisy than supporters. Sometimes, it really just takes time to remember why you draw and do what you love to do.
Sorry it's been rough! Everyone else is right too and have very good and positive points!
Your art is very comforting to look at and I've enjoyed seeing your creative designs! UwU
I want to add on the hater opinions thing, since this quote always helps me laugh them off a bit: "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and they're not always pretty" 😆
Though if its not being triggered by something external then seek some help. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy a lot to help me get over it. It might help you but its not for everyone.
