The Depths of Despair
8 months ago
I'm going to be taking a hiatus now. I've been doing increasingly worse as of January. I don't know what's wrong with me or what to do really, I just hate everything and have lost all hope. I feel incredibly bad and like I burden others a lot. My friends have been so sweet trying to help me out but at what point does it impede on their health and their situations? I have to search a lot just to find it in me to drag myself out of bed. It has never been this bad in the past, I've had a sad spell once and a while but this is something different. I really resent life and how everything is. I've just lost a lot of me and I can't find it in myself to even search, I can only ask myself what is the point of all this? Why even try?
I know y'all aren't my therapist so I'll spare the details. I've been tempted to quit drawing and being a furry altogether. I don't wanna quit, I just want things to be easier, I want to feel like everything is fine and I'm okay. But I just don't, it's been dragging me down for way too long and I say the same things when trying to describe it. I can't even look at my drawing tablet rn. I just hate everything. So hopefully a hiatus, a break will give me time to reflect. I've made it a bad habit to compare myself to other artists and it's been destroying me. So a good break is needed. I'm so sorry to everyone, I feel like I failed you all.
Thank you for listening to my dumb sad state of affairs, you guys be safe out there!

Taking a break sounds like a good idea if it helps you step back and take care of yourself. Your worth isn’t tied to your art, your productivity, or what you create—you are enough just as you are. I know it’s hard to believe that right now, but I hope with time, you can be kinder to yourself.
If you ever want to talk, even if it’s just to sit in silence with someone who cares, or me(but i can't promise if i can but i will do my best). And if you think reaching out for professional help might be an option, I fully support you in that too. You don’t have to figure this all out alone.
Please take care, and don’t apologize for feeling this way. You haven’t failed anyone—we just want you to be okay. <3
