Daydreaming. I'm sick of it, but I keep going there.

Not to downplay your issue but I kinda wish I had something like this right now. I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety recently, to the point where my brain feels like it's short circuiting. I wish I had places I could go in my mind to escape.

I get it, most of my life I've had episodes that are more like yours, and my brain just found this and it doesn't want to let go for a reason. The first couple of months I thought it was the best escape, but once I realized I couldn't stop, I've been despairing. I feel like I'm going mad but more quietly rather than explosively.

Overthinking while drawing. I'll think to myself "is this too little contrast? Too much? Are the shadows too blurry here? Does this fur look flat? It looks flat. Is the form too blurry around here? Let's try again!" I've always been considered a perfectionist, and that's one of the reasons I blame for a long time between submitting drawings!

Hating the state of the union.

Taking Ambien. I'd never sleep again though because of my other meds.
