"Autumn is my favorite season!" Everything proceeds to go wrong in Autumn.
and i give up.
i am stressed, i am anxious, i am depressed, and i am manic. i feel like since the end of October, everything has decided to just stop being good for me, personally. yes this is a first world problem, yes i'm going to whine about it because i just spent 20 minutes crying in the shower.
finances are getting tight for multiple reasons, and of course our bed breaks and then, on queue, the car needs a pricey fix that also means we cannot drive it as often or as far as we want.
i decide that i'll make my home a little better but just fixing it up! it'll benefit us and the landlord might appreciate it! i get prepped and then find out that we were told wrong and i cannot finish the work i started. great.
trying to get my outside time and enjoying the company of the neighbor's cat! chair suddenly crumbles under me and i topple off the side of the porch. ouch.
i gave up on trying to fix the keurig i was gifted last holiday because i just cannot get it to work.
my cats have terrible breath and i am really concerned about their teeth and health. they seem fine, but the bad breath is worrying.
all of my self-development work and my work toward helping my mental health just flew out the window at the start of the month because i just felt it in my gut that something bad was going to happen and everything did at once.
all i can do is cry. i feel helpless. i have no sense of control over anything. i can't do anything to fix it all. my therapist said she was proud of me, but i can't even feel proud of myself now. i'm giving up. i just don't know what to do anymore.
me: i should really start watching my caffeine intake due to my anxiety, so decaf coffee and tea from now on

I didn't do much art in 2022, either. Went back to trying to just do sketches. This was the last time I did any art, in fact. I put my tablet away and haven't touched it in two years.
I would love to try art again, but I can't stop comparing myself to other artists. I know they have been doing it for years and if I did, I could get close to that level, but my brain says "if not good immediately, no." Ugh.

i hate that every game on steam that releases in now marked "early access"
if i am PAYING you for the game, it is not early access. it's a full game. if it's early access, it's a beta and i should not have to pay you $40 for an unfinished product.

Friends, since I am in need of a hobby that isn't just being chronically online, I wanted to pick up and try digital art again. I used to draw... and I can post the last bits of art I did, but I would appreciate any tips or tricks or advice! I use CSP and a Huion HS610.

My cat:
This is all I can show from 2021, but I was nearly there.
i will love you in every life. (threatening)
