I miss being able to doodle a sketch for 2 seconds everyday like I used to. I want to be motivated to do art like I used to but I can& #39;t anymore. I& #39;m at like -10 out of 100 on motivation rn. I wan& #39;t to get back to drawing things I love, and commissions but I can& #39;t. Idk what to do.

I barely have anytime during work to even sketch for a few seconds. And when I do get days off, I just stare off into space waiting for my body to do something and it aggravates me. I& #39;ve tried to forced myself to draw recently but my body rejects it so hard.

Like, I& #39;m really trying not to let my depression get in the way of my work life and art life but it all feels like I& #39;m pushing myself to work and I sacrifice my motivation for that instead of art. I can& #39;t do both and its frustrating. I wish I can doodle at work.

My job is so pulling physically that I truly just can& #39;t make time for it. I truly wish there was a way to balance both. How do people get their motivation back? It& #39;s been a whole year of me being in a constant art block. Some days are worse than others.

I also want to get back to interacting with everyone in the art community. Idk I can just feel myself isolating again and slowly disappearing from all things I love and I just want to get back to that feeling of feeling productive and okay while also socializing.

Sorry for the baby rant lol. I feel like this is more about art so I didn& #39;t post this on main. I just need some advice tbh.

Another note: I think I truly just need to switch mediums for a while to reset my creative thinking. OR maybe I should start writing instead like I used to. Idk. I just need something FRESH. I kinda want to get back to streaming my art but it gets mighty lonely. Idk.
