Any misery-enabled artists out there?

[Doubtcent]

I love to draw, however I've gotten into a mindset that if I don't do at least SOMETHING artistic every day, I get very anxious and lose my mind.
But if I do make art I lose sleep. What is wrong with me?

Honestly??? I actually REALLY REALLY love the physical act of traditional drawing, and by that I mean putting lines on paper. I find it relaxing and therapeutic.However, I often find digital drawing tiring. I had a period where I really liked it, but now I can't seem to have fun doing it. In the end, though, I'm always happy that I made something (even if it's not good).

^Pretty much this all the way lol I still love it and I do feel accomplished and satisfied when I finish a piece, but a lot of times I wish the artwork was "magically finished" haha! But, journey's aren't meant to be easy right?

It's so nice to see how many other people hate STARTING a page. It's murder. I don't know why I put it off. I'm usually pretty happy once I'm in the zone but the act of sitting down to the blank page is maddening. I paced around the house for an hour yesterday before starting.
