Me: Has drawn non stop for weeks/months on end, never taking proper breaks and feel lazy if I don’t sketch more than one piece a day.
Also me when I finally crash and burn: Can I even draw??? Could I ever draw???
I have burnt my candle in both ends for years and I feel I’m going crazy.

Giviing yourself a mental quota on an act of inspiration or artistic expression is frustrating. It's like making magic into office work.
In the past year I've really found my passion for art again, and have felt addicted to drawing, drawing, drawing. Plus it's felt easier and more fluid, so why wouldn't I spend all my time doing it???
And then...
It's hard to take a break when you're feeling excited or passionate or it's the only thing driving you forward in life.
I'm going to work at taking more breaks too, as much as I hate not having a pencil/stylus in my hand.
It's just difficult when it's your soul purpose :' )
I could do XYZ. But I am utterly alone and have nothing much to live for outside of art. It’s a toxic cycle.
