yeah i think part of it is just "trust the process" combined with "you're not gonna be perfect" in retrospect, it's probably about as good of an idea to obsess over the definition of relaxation and stuff as it is to obsess over every line i make when drawing
after actually walking away for a bit i've realized this is the only time my anxiety has actually been encouraging me to be a better person so :thumb-cop: yay
kinda hope this stays around because its reminding me of my org meetings and stuff i normally have a hard time remembering (in the short time it's been a thing)
i cannot express how much of an improvement "utilitarianistic thirdworldism" is as a thing to worry about adhering to over the multitudes of random things my GAD brain comes up with
I totally get trying to manage "if I'm going to be stuck focusing somewhere, here's a better place than most". It just looked like it was starting to get away from you at some points in this thread.
Also, I wanted to say that if you have to let yourself "disconnect entirely" from something and come back to it, you're not completely starting over, some of it does stick around, even if it doesn't feel like it. That's especially true when you've found a healthier outlet.
