Time For A Break
13 years ago
That one-picture-a-day thing that I'm certain I missed at least once and that nobody probably knew/remembered anyway... I just.. I can't do it anymore.
I gotta get work art done, and my muse isn't having it, and I've kind of been a fucking trainwreck lately, even compared to my normal self. I'm about a billion times more irritable than usual, I'm constantly in pain so bad that I- who never takes pills EVER- I have been forced to basically supplement my diet with pain pills just to keep me able to use my legs. I haven't made ANY fucking headway on getting the $400 car repair, my bills are piling up and I'm having insomnia.
Any way you slice it, art just... isn't even on my radar of priorities right now. And to top it off, I have one outstanding commission that I just DON'T THINK I am capable of at the skill level that I am at. I really wanted to when I accepted it, to challenge myself, but right now it's just a challenge to get out of bed.
So I'm going all hiatus-ey and shit. I only talk to three people online anyway on a regular basis, and I've got their AIM, so they'll still see me, but idk. I'll be here to comment and stuff, but yeah. Done with this for now.
Upon my return, I think I'll set a different goal. Rather than uploading one of ANYTHING, EVERY DAY, I think I will strive to upload one completed work(read:full-colored with back grounds and shit) every WEEK. The day will be... let's say Fridays. I'll upload a completed work every Friday, not counting this coming one. There my or may not be sketches or other things in-between, but yeah. And then maybe once I'm done being so FUCKING STRESSED, I can complete my long list of owed work. v.v

I hope things work out better for you soon. Being stressed out sucks hardcore.
Don't be shy if you see me on AIM (or even if you don't, sometimes I appear offline).
All in all, some time to yourself is probably best. Nothing's worth killing yourself over.
Have you tried melatonin or valerian tea? Or Sleepy time tea by that Celestial tea brand.
Warm milk or any decaf tea helps a lot, or just hot water with honey and lemon. Also warm baths~
Hope that helps! ;u;
If you need to take a year or whatever time to feel better, who are we to stop you. Here's hoping you feel better 'w'
I did take a year off of art once though. One full year where I literally produced zero. Not even my own personal sketches, just... nothing. I had just dropped out of art school though, so I was arted out.
That's quite timespan without art. I have the same kinda feeling this summer, which is bad cause I half to make a college portfolio soon 636'
