fighting my mental health (personal stuff)
6 years ago
Executive dysfunction just isn't letting me do anything lately.
Some days (like today) I'll get up excited to start things, I feel good because my depression isn't as bad as usual and my body isn't in pain. Things must be good! Then I open what I have to work on and everything sinks. My hands won't move, I'm overwhelmed. I try to pick a spot to start, and pickup some colour to work with, then depression starts to creep in as I realize I'm not getting anywhere.
I try to run through any stepped I missed that would get me back to moving,
Did I forget to eat so my mood is deteriorating? No, that's not it. I took my medication, I have water to stay hydrated, I've seen friends recently, I went outside in the sun yesterday, by all accounts there should be nothing holding me back.
And yet?
Here I am, I fell off schedule almost immediately.
I haven't worked on any personal projects, or commissions, all I've been doing is some pencil sketches.
I tried to work on some commissioned work, despite today not being on schedule for that, because I haven't in over a week, but all that's really done is made me feel guilty that I'm here, with things not done or worked on, unable to function. I guess mostly I'm just saying this because I haven't been active here at all.
I'm doing fine otherwise, so there's nothing to worry about for me, just that I really have nothing to post other than maybe another compilation of traditional stuff. If I can get out of this long enough to finish the work I have, I promise I'll do something nice for all the people here. Maybe some free art giveaway or something similar.
I have a huge urge to do so much art but right now I'm just held back by guilt of not finishing things I suppose.
I'll keep trying to fight this and actually work on something today, I'll keep trying to do my best

FA+

The important thing is that you just do what you can at the pace that your body and mind allow. Whether that is fast or slow doesn't matter.
The good days may seem few and far between, but they do come ^_^ (*hugs*)
But I totally was in a not so good position
Kindaaa broke a few days ago
buut is better now
I think sometimes one just doesnt want to do anything
Like just wanting to stay around
and kinda listen to music or other things
and avoid stuff
Also
I think pencil sketches are also awesome
You should upload those as well!
U keep trying your best
We will cheer for u!
