Too tired by sharp_eyed_detective

I'm tired of everything

This last month I felt tired and sad. Work consumes all my energy and I hardly have any free time between work and university. I have felt lonely, misunderstood and without any reason to be happy after all.

I've been thinking that I don't want this... and whenever I try not to think about it, it gets worse and worse. Lately I've been having a hard time sleeping, and I'm having mood swings for any silly reason.

I feel like all the work I do isn't enough and doesn't get any recognition. I feel frustrated and want to give it all up.

But I always think: "This has already hit rock bottom, now it can only get better".

And I keep going...

I haven't really felt like drawing these days, I hope you understand.

poor girl. :'( *pats your back gently* I know how ya feel. time flies off way too fast and whenever your finally able to sit down ya just can't get your self to do much. You probably just need to give your self some time to breath and relax. u - u clear your head and take deep breaths.

Heya I hope you're doing alright, and don't worry about Colors for now - just focus on yourself and keep safe :)

I understand. I am in a similar boat, unfortunately it doesn't feel like it gets any less busy. We just learn to deal with more work.

But yknow, I hope to stop this line of work sometime. Eventually I will get where I need to be. Just need to find the right opportunity.

I'm like house wife > office job :eyes emoji:

Or at least I hope to be part time at work xD

That's understandable, you need to take care of yourself first. Please don't neglect your mental health and I hope things get better for you. ^-^

It can get better, you have to maybe drop something that's causing more stress than reward.
I understand how you feel, I'm not going through as much as you, but I've considered not drawing anymore at all....

All I can say is: we gotta adapt to situations, and can't repeat some actions as they can lead to repeated stress (if possible to drop whatever it is)

Yo I've been feeling the same way I know how u feel :( I love all ur works even though I'm a bit of a lurker. I think it's best to take breaks and not overwhelm yourself too much, especially since you have work and school to worry about.

I'm so glad to hear from all of you again. It's true that I haven't been at my best lately, it's been a tough time and life has hit me hard.

Anyway, we all have to carry on and give the best version of ourselves, don't we?

I'm sorry I haven't answered before, I didn't feel strong enough to answer back...
And well, I don't have much more to tell, today was my birthday, I turned 22. It's been a pretty sad day and I haven't done anything special.
I felt quite lonely today <\3

*hugs*
poor bean, ik i'm sorta really late to this, but i hope this have gotten/are getting better
ik how it feels, the stresses of life causing loss of sleep, it can be discouraging to not be noticed, especially when you try to make people notice

and it's never fun to feel like what your doing isn't what you ought to,
*gives you a big warm hug*
