General
I'm feeling a bit better now.
These past few days I haven't been working at all. Just chilling, playing games on my phone, watching movies and series, and for fun sculpting little figures out of plasticine.
Turns out I was going through withdrawal syndrome and depression kicked in.
I take meds for anxiety disorder. Earlier I mentioned I was organizing a big Halloween event for a lot of people. Of course, where there's a party, there's alcohol. You're not supposed to drink while on these pills, so I stopped taking the medication for a while.
After the Halloween event ended, I just rested for a few days.
And I forgot to get back on the meds. I went without them for over two weeks, and that's when the withdrawal hit. So the "depression" seemed to come out of nowhere, but there was a clear reason.
The reason is that I'm an idiot.
I started taking the meds again a couple of days ago, and I'm already feeling a little better. But the depression hasn't fully lifted yet.
That's how it went.
Very soon I'll get back to drawing free art for my patrons and fanart, because my energy is slowly coming back.

I was wondering if it also had to do with just general burnout considering the amount of art you're doing. If that's the case, no shame in taking it easy for a day or two!
