Please read, I need to say...

That I don't feel lately very good morally, I'm living some bad times here, each day that passes I have less and less free time, due family and job.

I'm not gonna enter in much details, but my job leaves me very exahusted and I barely wanna do anything else than just sleep or play a game ocassionaly (that if my parents leave me and don't ask me to do chores and stuff), my time of a content creator ended up some years ago when my job started to be more demanding, and sadly I can't really get a better one due the fact all of them are even worse than the one I am right now, and throwing off the bonus I have here for all the years I was working in my current one is stupid.
I just got aware that, to be a good artist and improve your art skills, you need to make it your job, or just be jobless, all in all, you get burned from it, or you die of hunger.
In my case, I need a secure and constant income to live, so, I can't leave my job to do art and live from it, the bad thing is that when I have free time, I relate drawing with job, and that doens't help me too much, also being a fan of videogames doesn't help one bit on these times with the tsunamy of good titles that are coming.

I'm kinda depressed, and that made me do a big clean up of my social medias, and ended up deleting most of my friend list from Discord, if you're one of them, I'm so sorry, is not your fault, I just... need some time to be alone, like a restart.
It really hurt me to delete some people, cool artists and people that I chat and have some good time with, but I feel this was kind of necessary for me right now, when I feel better, I will try to retake all my peps, so, again, don't feel offended or mad with me if you're one of the ones who have been deleted.

I'm going to try to draw some more, I'm not sure how is going to be or if I was gonna be able to make something decent, but I'm gonna give it a try, I barelly do any art lately, and that's burning me from the inside little by little, and I have the need to change that.

For those people who keep asking me about Project X... I'm gonna be honest, is time to move on, it was a great experience, and it was fun, but the program is already very old, is an issue to code and do all the stuff for it, all the people who was involved to do it, is busy right now, we all grow up and we aren't teens anymore with spare time to waste, so don't expect much more from it.

That's all for now, loves ya all <3

It's cool, it's a rough time for a lot of people, and a lot of folks feel the pressure building as time goes on. Take the time you need and rest

All and all, I still wish ya well.

It's understandable.
Sadly, life doesn't treat anyone lightly and it only gets harder.
Wish you to find a soft spot for yourself to be in a comfort zone and deal with depression, it's a major bitch.

I know how you feel. I used to have the same life a year ago.

I was so exhausted after work (Call-Center) that I could only choose between drawing or geeking once home.
However, my friends kicked my butt to force me to find another job which was killing me.

I really hope you'll find your way to get out of your depression. Enjoy your free time as much as possible. You don't owe anyone anything :).

Imo, you should keep art as a hobby. If you really want to find another job,
why don't you look for a training center corresponding to the job you would like to do ? (I dunno' if it exists in your country though...) Easy to say but... that's what I did to escape my old job.

Don't worry about Project X ! It was an amazing project ! You and your team did great ! You left us a marvellous present ^^.

Ayo Zeta! Sorry to hear you're having a rough time. The world has changed in a way that really puts stress on all of us, but try not to compromise the things you like in life. If you're comfortable where you are then just remember there's always going to be a light in the future, we're a bit stuck and stupidity is at an all time high, but there will be better days, hopefully sooner than later.

But remember that you are in control for yourself, and your happiness. As much as we compromise ourselves to keep our way of survival secure, remember that there is more to life than just surviving, and if you're just feeling like its a grind, its time to move on and find something new to make sure you are able to stay happy, healthy, and above all else, be able to live for yourself.

I'm in a similar scenario and I am working to try and make myself better. You're a smart lass and I know you can choose the best path for yourself, just remember to love yourself, and reflect. Think on what you want and what you need, and try to balance it out.

Peace ♥

You are in the mindset/mood i was in around 4yrs ago Zeta. Work, come home tired and sleep/pass out on a bed or chair. Made me feel that's all i did. So my mood dipped a lot and i lost interest in a lot of things.

Art wise its been an amazing and tagging along with you along the way was sweetness. Meeting you on SL is something i won't forget any time soon. ^^

So take care of yourself firstly. This kind of mindset feeling does get better in time. Was mostly youtube vids and Mythbusters and outside projects for me.

So finding time for yourself and keeping amused mite help?  Alright gonna snooze Zeta. *Hugs* Take care. :)

Te mando abrazos, Zetita Linda, porque se como te sientes. A mi tambien me pasa lo mismo en cuanto a depresion y ansiedad. Lo unico que puedo recomendar es que trates de ser fuerte. La depresion es un enemigo dificil de derrotar, pero si se puede. No es imposible. Solo hay que tener la voluntad de querer superarlo.

You'll get your passion for art back, Just glad to see you stepping away to take some time for yourself.

Hey, I know we didn't chat too often or really do much but even I was noticing how worn down you've been. *Hugs*  Rest up, deal with what you need to. Your fan base loves you enough that they'll want you healthy and happy, not a slave to art. Those whom don't care? Who cares about them! :P   Hope to see you around still from time to time, maybe hang out and all that.

Most importantly,
I'm Rooting for you! ^_^

Is re-schooling a possibility for you?
My aunt went to a specialized high school curriculum to get into college for nursing at the age of 40.
That said, she was a in a low paying position at a store, so she felt like she had to get up in the system to make the ends meet.

IMO, if you don't get time to do what you want, why bother?
I would talk to your closest about your possibilities, especially if you feel you are getting drowned in responsibilities.

It's a shame to hear about the cancellation of Project X but you gotta look for your own sanity first. Stay safe Zeta and don't worry that much, will go for better but you said it, you need a restart. Good luck!

Yea just take sometime to step back or some time off for something fun. I know from most about work and family burn out while trying to do something. Sadly I did the worst thing to it but for now just take some time off and later if you want to come back to anything you can and finish it up or just try something new. Thanks for a great game.

Aww..no more Project X? Darn. I've greatly enjoyed your work on X. Time and life stand still for nobody and I commend you for all the time and effort you have put into your projects.

I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery back to feeling better, both about yourself and your situation.

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with these tough times, but it's for the best that you step away from hobby work if it's starting to feel like work. Burnout is real, and it can make other problems much worse. Take all the time you need, and I hope you feel better soon!

Are strange times. For me everything has become a bit noisy online so I'm moving around my all-time friends lately for try to do something. I hope you can feel better.

I would like this to be the last question about Project X to you. Since you've cancelled the game, is it alright to give the fans a go at the game? I'm sure a passionate fan might want to have a go at this project and finish the missing animations, create new content, and better the gallery. I am asking this question to see if there is a possibility of you giving this project to someone who would have the time to finish it, and to see if there is someone who is willing to finish it.

Life does come at you fast. the most important thing is taking care of yourself and loved ones over social media. I am sad to see you so distressed, but im sure if you give yourself a rejuvenation period it will be much worth it.

Take care and remember, your still adored by your fans

I know it's late and well these things due happen, especially the part where you feel burnt out. Maybe a little time out of your day to do a doodle could help out. The work life does burn you out, one thing I personally have been doing is looking up the baby steps on how you can proceed towards getting a better job.
Most importantly though, I hope your mental health gets better. Try to get some time to yourself and keep some contact with some ol friends, close ones usually can help in these situations.
