Description
I'll use this opportunity to tell you guys a little bit about what's going on in my life at the moment - I mentioned before in a journal (read it here: MLeth's Thoughts - sharing a secret ) that I've suffered from crippling anxiety in the past and they have after 4 years of absense come back to me due to some less good experiences and I'm currently battling them! Due to this I haven't been able to do art the way I could previously this year and I've felt so bad that I haven't been active for about a month and it's bumming me out so much. The good news is that I now am much more equipped to battle these issues than I was before and I'm hoping that they'll be resolved very soon!Even though Brooke is giving the finger, it's not to you, but it is to my anxiety that is trying to take over my life and I'm NOT about to let it (and also to me cus I put her in this outfit..) And with that I want to thank all of you for your patience, especially the people that are waiting for their commissions. I did not anticipate these problems coming back but I WILL finish the commissions as soon as I'm able!
I love you guyses support so much this past year which has been my happiest when it comes to art and online community!

Your brain likes to play tricks on you occasionally! Just gotta kick its butt to show who's boss :'D
Haha yeah I totally enjoyed drawing her more salty too hoho

She doesn't look particularly pleased at her mode of dress; but such are the dangers of being at the whim of the artist.
Fortunately she still looks good in it, and is cute annoyed.
Glad to hear you're on back on the upswing. While I am (obviously) ill positioned to comment on any IRL occurrences, I don't think you've anything to worry about on the art front: it's still spectacular. It may take time, but I suspect you've got this one covered.

Great work!

Thought you'd been a bit quite lately. Anxiety is sucky, but I'm glad that you're working through it all. You got this, mate!

Yeah it sucks and I'm about to kick it right in the nuts, just you watch!

I think Brooke looks more mad that a certain someone dressed her up in something she's not all that fond of xD
And the anxiety. I assume you have support groups, as in people who you can turn to, but regardless they are ultimately the best thing anyone can have for just about any problem imaginable. I know I probably sound preachy or ignorant, but I like throwing my cents into the pool. I have too many cents, it's weighing me down!
*Tosses cents like a maniac*

Haha yep that's what the middle finger was for initially :'D
Yeah I've come in contact with my previous psychologist which I'm really happy about since he knows my issues better than anyone. I've been able to cope okay on my own but having that professional support is so important.
I'll take your cents with open arms!

i can't say that i know what it's like to go through what you're going through, but i know what it's like to have crippling issues, so i'm glad to hear you're doing a bit better. your art (and your lady OCs) are to die for.

The thought is enough for me! I'm happy to hear my art is appreciated :')

C-can I still pretend she's flipping me off? Not that I'm into that sort of thing...
That finger might just be the most dangerous weapon she's ever carried. I've been smitten.

So glad to see you back on your feet. Looking forward to seeing your new stuff!

^_^ brook might just be the best cosplayer ever. she looks so cute.

Really glad to hear you are starting to get on top of this. I know anxiety can cripple your whole life and the majority of people simply don't understand how all-encompassing it can be. You clearly have the right attitude to fight this.
Oh and Brooke looks absolutely delicious in that tiny outfit
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe thanks man! The worst thing to do is to accept your fate and let your anxieties rule your life - I know what that did to me before so I'm not letting it happen this time!

I figured that she was giving the finger because she was saying "FU" to the outfit
But I am glad that you are doing much better now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That was the main reason for the middle finger yeah but then I thought it was fitting for my current situation too haha

I noticed you weren't posting any art and I was worried something had happened. As someone who suffers from anxiety as well, I can completely understand how difficult it is to even work on stuff you love when everything is crashing down. It never helps when life stuff also happens to fall into what causes anxiety, because in that case it's really easy to feel completely powerless. Which majorly sucks.
However, I'm happy to hear that you're going to push through it. You deserve to be happy and to do the things you love. I really hope you start to feel better. <3 <3

Yeah I really didn't want to make people worry but I didn't want to tell my situation at the time as I didn't want to really believe my problems were back for real xD But now I've decided to deal with them before they escalate like they did the first time around! (5 years ago). Also everything you say is very true for me - Everytime I picked up my pen I was feeling the anxiety creeping up and so I kept away from it for a few weeks. Your brain is great at being a douche sometimes, isn't it? Haha
Thanks for your support too, I've heard about your situation from your brother and it makes me think of my sister who has a similar situation and I just want to say that you're loved and while life does seem to beat you down continuesly, you won't let it keep you down! You get up and keep your head up high and proud!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's the worst thing about anxiety; it's ability to escalate. Probably my least favorite thing. haha
Also, it's soooo difficult to find inspiration for art when you're anxious, which tends to make you even more anxious. Ugh it's a endless cycle.
Also thank you so much. I'm also trying to beat my anxiety about art and life in general. My brother is definitely helping me attack my art demons.
Please also know that what you just said to me also applies to you too. Just gotta fight those issues that tell you things are hopeless and get back on your feet, even when it feels completely impossible. And some days it will feel like it's not going to happen, but you'll work through it and you'll get where you want to in life. I believe in you!

You're describing my situation 100% xD Thankfully I'm at least able to draw some small things like the Brooke pics I've done but they just take a lot longer to make hehe.
And thanks again - I have a lot of support from both family and online-friends so now it's up to me to say "f*ck off!" to anxiety and do my best to battle it with all the experience I've had of them in the past ^^

I too deal with depression and anxiety, so I know the battle you wage. I for one love your work, and can only hope that you can find the peace you need to continue with your art. Good Luck.

Thank you! Anxiety is a strange beast, but the best thing for me when I had it the first time around was the knowledge that I was not alone. There is help out there!

What came first, the artist or the anxiety?
I've been there, done that, and all those thoughts still pop up from time to time just to ruin a perfectly good day (it happened the other day, in fact). Good to hear that you're fighting back, so to speak.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha good question xD
Your brain does tend to mess things up from time to time but you just gotta say "Ey brain, don't be a douche" sometimes, mang
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Been thinking about you, man. Not wanting to disturb you, but also worrying about the silence. Glad to hear you are working through it, and I wish there was something I could do to help. But anxiety is a personal battle, and while friends can offer words of encouragement, you are the one who has to face it. Bravery and confidence to you, friend!

In my case I've figured out that what I need is more of a social life - I've done more social things during the last month than I have in a long time! Sitting in the library, going to new stores in town and just hanging around downtown. It makes me happy to see all the people which is very ironic because I suffered from social phobia earlier in my life xD I am a really social person though, which is something I've gained from my dad. I'm currently waiting to get in contact with my previous psychologist too! One thing that has helped me a lot during this month is also to document everything I've experienced, good and bad, in a spread sheet. If I hadn't met you I probably wouldn't have done that. The way I think is much more different and in depth. I try to see the anxieteies and what circumstances triggers them. When I write them down they become less mysterious and more tangible which is very healthy! With all the documentation I've done it'll be easier for me to talk to my psychologist too. Anyway, I'm rambling! I appreciate all the support you've given me <3

Hey, that's a great idea! Taking the scientific approach!
Sounds like you've taken some really positive steps forward. I know what you mean about social phobia (I get that too), but as you've discovered, the best way to get over that is to just go out and see that it isn't so bad! Strike up a conversation with the cashier, or say "hello" to people as you pass. I need to go out every once in a while to keep my "social tolerance" up. If I hermit away for too long, I get disconnected and uneasy around large groups, so going out occasionally makes it a non-issue.
Glad to hear from you, man. You know where to find me, eh?

You got this man!
As a fan of your works, I always look forward to what you come up with next. Be it something with Brooke or some Anime character I've never heard of ^-^
As regards to your paintings; it doesn't matter if it takes awhile. Making sure you do a good job is better then rushing it out in my opinion.
Brooke herself looks a little miffed about your clothing choices.
Excellent job and I hope you the best!

Thanks for your support!
And yeah no Brooke loves the outfits I put her in - The middle finger is all love, mang

Is anxiety related to being an artist, and being scared of failing to deliver to backers and commissioners?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's certainly related since stress is normally included when it comes to anxiety. But in my case it goes deeper than just the fear of failing my clients. Something came along that scared me which couldn't have come on a worse time when I had indeed taken on quite a few commissions. It went well up until that point though which shows me that I CAN do it - I just have to rework my strategies xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, only bad artists are never scared of disappointing. Don't worry, only a troll would talk trash about your art, and there's no doubt that you care. Being creative must never turn into a chore, remember to keep it fun!

She looks cute and is really showing how much she likes the outfit with her right hand. XD
