I haven't done art for a bit, solely because I have felt that I can't do it in the mental state I've been in for the last few weeks. However, today I tried to do some simple coloring on a piece I already had linework for completed. I barely got 15 minutes into it and I was already having a headache, chest pains, and feeling awful about myself.

So, to avoid this, I'm just going to say no to art for a while. I simply cannot work on something which brings me mental distress. It should be something that brings me joy and relief, but I've frankly always been very critical of my art, especially given that I've been at it for nearly 5 years now and it still looks awful.
