How often do you think of giving up?

I've never heard the "three day rule" but that's really smart! I might start to use that, too!

It's actually a suicide prevention tool, but I found it works pretty well for a lot of things you feel like doing on impulse.

Good to know! Impulsivity is real and a real problem. Even little stuff, like quitting dumb assignments or putting off chores.

Totally! It's a really good tool to keep you on track.

I did give up. I have been drawing and publishing my comics in some form or another since 1997. But after failing to get syndicated, I quit in 2006. I figured it was time to move on and grow up.

I restarted in 2015. Once you have quit once, you don't feel like quitting again.

At least once a day.

Continually...

The gaps between those thoughts are getting smaller, while the ones between actual writing seem to be getting bigger...

I'll put it this way, "more and more".

Often. I suffer from bipolar 2 disorder, PTSD, and I'm on the spectrum which doesn't help with my confidence when I hit a low. When I hit this low I tend to get intrusive thoughts from the depression to quit my comic and just disappear off the face of the internet or even IRL if it gets bad enough. The reason why I continue is that I love my characters and drawing whether it be my comic or regular illustrations just helps take the edge off.
