I'm so sorry to hear that this is happening with you.
You've always had one of my favorite styles, I love your work! I know it may be hard sometimes, but hang in there!
*hugs*

Crippling depression is a possibility.

You're crazy to think its the worst

*hugs* I know that some times, there are days like this. But I promise you, you're a wonderful artist, and I know I'm not the only one that loves your artwork :)

Just look in my scrap folder. You'll see plenty of bad things. Hell, there's probably worse in my gallery. You're a damn good artist and that means a lot if you knew how picky I am (certain styles, certain designs, a lot of things don't look great to me because the artist did something that makes it look weird to me).

As for your happiness, it's why I like being angry. Anger is my go to response, pushes me on. Reason being two things will kick shit out of you in life: Yourself and Life. When life's not beating you down like a loan shark, you end up undermining yourself for the most fickle reasons imaginable. Same as how you can wind yourself up over suggestion alone (Like once during winter, I hadn't heard from my husband for 2 days. By the time he got back, I'd convinced myself he'd been killed to or from his parents, and had been freaking the fuck out). Life has a spiteful sense of humor. Your mind does the rest of the damage.

You just gotta find something that makes you feel smug, to boost your ego. For me, I read the Agony Aunt section in the paper and mock how extremely dumb the people are (Oh, you cheated on your wife with her sister and mother but still "truly love her"? Yeah, fuck off mate. (this was an actual letter)) or... I mean, generally it's not hard to make me feel superior. :P But you gotta find something that can make you feel smug, it'll take the edge off of certain problems. Obviously there's a line between being smug and being a douche, so just find something that makes you feel superior and you can move on with a good feeling about your work. :)

You ARE a good artist.

You know, I don’t know how you feel now, it being so many years later, but even so, I understand your pain and feeling. I hope you feel better about yourself now. And if you don’t, I hope you will!
