For me it is kinda. I had a job as an illustrator but the project didn't pan out. I lost my other job and I am gonna go back home because I can't afford rent. I use art as a coping/avoidance mechanism to escape the situation I'm living right now. No career, no spouse, no prospects, no nothing. Art is has become a sunken fallacy to me as I have nothing else right now. I would love to get another job but my skills are not there yet. I could do something else more realistic but I really hate doing anything else. Doing art all day "feels" like doing something even though at this point is nothing. I ruined my own life but art is just the catalyst. I don't know what to do right now. I have dedicated a lot but I am not nearly good as I should for my age.

>so now i *need* to stop

>1~2 years of mostly(as in, i drew once every 6~7 months and felt bad about it) not drawing go by
>life shafts me so i have nothing to do except for art, any books i try to read or games i try to play have to be put on hold for one reason or another
>theoretically, my skills are supposed to be worse now then they were then. so it should be fine....
>>>my art actually got better
>>>i deeply crave to draw living things
i hate it, the moment i stopped chasing after art improvement it started coming to me, i wish i knew better and manged things better. i plan to quit art again but currently i will stick around here and draw for a little while

Basically you’re going to hell. Good news, anon. You’re already in hell. You died a long time ago. Think about it.

I grew up under a single mother as the youngest of 5. My life was ruined from the start

Kinda. I have to isolate to draw, and my results are shaming me.
I appreciate art better now, but when I see other's works, it's depressing. I am in a small art community, and they are all so much better than me...
It's just wasted time I could waste in enjoying videogames, in which I am incredibly good.

Illusion. You’re not that good with video games either.

Sure, I am not le Korean player, but I am good enough to to play the highest difficulties, reach the highest ranks, for many different genres. There are several that made me compliments, many cursed me, and there are even people avoiding me.

And you know what? I find games relaxing (unless playing on the highest rank), while drawing drains of my energies really fast, and I don't get why...
After drawing for an hour, I feel like I want to rest a bit in my bed.

You cant make someone help themselves, the moment permabegg accept that drawing, studying, failure and critique are a part of getting better, you stop being a permabeg. (And become a beg, but not permanently)
