Seriously, what should I do?

[Simplistic Dreams @SimpleDreamsArt]

Okay, I don't know what to do. This isn't a normal "art block." It's been a years-long: I genuinely hate everything about my art. I used to draw so much, but now whenever I pick up a pencil I get so deep into my head that I feel anxiety whenever I put pencil to paper.

[Simplistic Dreams @SimpleDreamsArt]

I can pinpoint this art block to a specific event which I talked about in this thread: https://t.co/WQKn62nbCR

I just need help. How do I get over this? I just wish I could draw like I used to but it's like I get constant flashbacks of every criticism I've received all at once.

Here's some Aerith for her birthday 🍰 #FFVIIR #FFVII #squareenix

This is the first time I'm posting art in years. If you care to know why haven't shared any of my art lately, read the thread below:

It would be sooooooo nice if I could stop hearing the "your art isn't quite there" voice in my head whenever I draw something.

Did some sketching of my OC today--her name is Hazel. She has a cockatiel familiar named Kwee.

[Simplistic Dreams @SimpleDreamsArt]

It would be nice to actually draw something without being reminded of how much I suck at drawing.

This has been going through my head every. single. time I pick up a pencil.

Finished this little shikishi board project of Tanjiro from #DemonSlayer in copics.

I'm thinking of selling the original but idk. I'm not even sure I like this? 🤷‍♀️

[Simplistic Dreams @SimpleDreamsArt]

....anyway, if you've made it this far, thank you for reading. In the end, I do enjoy drawing, I just don't like drawing with such highly critical thoughts. I may continue to share my work, but it's hard to find motivation.

...but even so, I don't see any value in my work. I honest-to-goodness think I suck. And yes, I've heard the whole "artists are most critical of their own work." I just don't understand how to get out of that headspace...
