We Do Be Mentally Ill - Tumblr Posts
MmEh, kinda bummed out atm.
I've finally labeled my fic as on temporary hiatus- i mean it kinda already was given I hadn't updated for around over a month but sti l l. It got to the point where, mentally, I wasn't able to look at my writing without immediately having a bunch of negative thoughts about it. I just didn't like my own work. To the point where opening up the draft sparked immediate anxiety.
And the thing is!!! It's frustrating because I KNOW why, I know it's all just in my head, and the anxiety isn't logical. But it's still!!! Fuckin there!!!
And I WANT to write it. I'm the only person who can write this. I know I still love the ideas bc I'm still working on it in other mediums (art, comics). The motivation is there but the mental illness do be nerfing me.
I try my best to look up advice and such, knowing it's not JUST writer's block. But I have yet to find other individuals who also have bad anxiety about writing to the point that it inhibits them from doing so completely. So I just- don't really know what to do :/
So uhh if anyone else is sorta in a similar scenario, your writing is good. Just a reminder. Brain is just mean sometimes. Be patient with yourself 💕 I'm trying my best to be patient too, even if at times I do feel guilt for not updating things.
Annnd if anyone has advice like. Pls tell me 😳
To those who may have read my fic up to this point, it WILL be coming back. I promise. I just want to enjoy the process of creating it.
