I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Recently (well, not really, since 2018) I have been on a creative decline mentally. It's been extremely tough to think of things to make.
I wouldn't even consider myself an "artist" anymore, at least as how I would have defined it back when I graduated highschool. My life has been on a slight decline since 2020, I haven't
really felt creative or energized to make stuff. It usually feels like a huge mental chore to even pick up the tablet, but sometimes I do have a random surge of energy only for it to die out
very very fast. I don't really know what to do to improve the mental side of whats going on. I do want to keep doing art, but for a while its been really tough... It's really one of the only things left I have
in this world that makes me "happy". Hopefully it passes in time, but its feeling more and more permanent every day.

It sounds like you're clinically depressed. A symptom of depression is losing the energy to partake in hobbies and self-care. I suggest you urgently set up therapy/psychiatrist appointments and they can help you through it with medications to treat your symptoms, if advice and goal plans aren't enough by themselves.
Everyone needs help sometimes. Genuinely, I'm rooting for you.
