I guess this is just another piss and moan thread...
Whenever I sell a commission or I end up with a successful drawing I could vomit - I get to many butterflies in my belly. I can't sleep for days and get super excited.
I'm so fucking addicted to the feeling of success whenever I have a low time or I simply lose one or two watcher on a plattform I could jump right out of the window.
And I feel so despicable for it... The worst part is - this is just my hobby. I own a house, I have a steady income, I'm happily married. But when my art receives no attention for some time I want to shoot myself. What the fuck is wrong with me.

Sucks that I ain't like you OP, I've got nothing but this, this is my life line. If I fail this, guess that's it.

I had to decide if I want to study art or try something more save. I went the save route. A buddy of mine didn't and he now survives by pretending to be a girl on patreon an drawing porn. He just moved out and has zero social skills and all... no fancy car or anything like that. Yet I envy him... so fucking much. It's retarded.
Whys that make you sick? Do you wanna feel happy for waking up and scrubbing shit? Do you wanna smoke weed until you die?
