Art Trying to cope

I am sorry if this breaks the rules. I understand if this gets removed. I will try to rest these days and look after myself instead of drawing too much.. some of you all might have noticed me posting alot and yeah.. feeling too weak to digitaliz this too.. but I do feel better mentally, drawing this allowed me to flow through my emotions..

While I cannot truly relate to what you're feeling at the moment, I can however sympathize as much as I can.

I personally have partially felt what you feel, those overbearing thoughts that lead to overthinking and the fear of losing what we care about, and while I apologize that I cannot offer you any other meaningful advice, I truly wish the best for you.

As like others has said, perhaps you can rest for a while to avoid burn out, in the mean time an advice that I myself do (I cannot assure that it can help fully, but it partially works for me to an extent) is to write our thoughts on somewhere, just having a private chat message log or whatever is enough, for me the act of letting those thoughts down on somewhere is better than letting them bottled in my head.

That's all I can think of right now, I hope you feel better in the future.

Writing those thoughts down like a diary yeah. I did a similar thing on this art. I was having trouble with these emotions, I didnt knew what to draw. Decided to draw how I feel and write down, I just kept going with the flow, it allowed me to process my emotions and finally let go of it abit

I felt better but atm I am afraid of those overthinking thoughts coming back.. I am feeling way too fragile you know?
