"Hello everyone, it's me! Your artist. Today I decided to tell my story to you."
"I've been in Persistent Depressive Disorder for a while, like 3 or 5 years. It takes away my ability to focus, not just arts, but my EVERYTHING in life. and it's keep getting worse in 2026."
>I think i know what youre going through, im not certain im 100% same, but i find myself at lack of confidence for about all my stuff aside of driving, and its torment to me in the art department, even when i thought that i was getting better there when i revived colorsketch, the process is still grueling for me, i judge every art of it and im not comfy or at peace till its closer to done

"I never took the pill to cure this since I'm sure they'll be gone soon. The hard thing is, my body feels like it's giving up, I can barely eat even half a meal each day. I couldn't sleep at all without crying first every night.
> I didnt try to do meds for a long time too, i believed in the mental breakthrough i could make myself, hopefully, but it didnt pan out, so, pillwise, im on Adderall for ADHD, and its helped me a deal but its not the cureall, still, sometimes we may need that extra oomph to push through, it may be good that you look into it to see if it helps you

It's the reason why my work has been delayed for quite some time now."
"Also, I hope all this gets better in no time. Trying to force myself to draw, trying tocomplete my Sleepover3 and all FVN game projects for my Patreons. Thank you everyone for your suppoting me🥹 and so sorry again. " ❤️-Stampmats
> Any progress is better then no progress, try to work on a thing, sit it down, and come back to it the next day, the mind has a neat way of noticing something that might be off, and then you can improve that toward the final pic, i.e like, draw the lineart for it and then sit it down
Also- i regret to tell you, but with mental fuckery like this-- it may not get better, im still battling my brain and im 31 now, have been since i was like, 20, all we can do is keep trying our best and work through things best we can, communicate with people and let them know, they arent just here for a wank from your art, theyre here because they love your style, and as humans, we care about others hardships, and most will understand that youre trying your best still, yknow?

I hope this helps a little, you arent alone in the struggle, and i hope others support and give you the care you need to pep you back up a little more again so you can get back to doodling all the things you enjoy
