I've been really stubborn trying to improve and trying to push my way through an art block for almost an entire month. Now when I draw I just feel like tearing my hair out. I keep starting tons of drawings without finishing a thing anymore. I constantly feel like I should be able to do better.
I'm not even sure what I want to draw or where I want to go with it either.
I think I might just need to take a break for a while, instead of trying to keep forcing it.
It's like I'm afraid of somethings, but I'm not exactly sure what or why. Because all the answers I find seem irrational and are probably nothing I should care or worry about... but sometimes I feel like people have high expectations from me, and I feel like I need to meet some sort of "requirement" and am often not comfortable with my art or to step out of my zone of comfort. I know I should not be thinking about it... maybe it's just me having too high expectations from myself?
Sorry if this journal is more of a vent?? I've been very isolated lately too so that probably won't help. I've lost contact with most of the people I used to chat with, so I've been feeling a little lonely. Either they are busy, gone, or ignoring me *sigh* and I'm not the the kind of person to start a conversation so it's hard for me to keep in touch with people?
Anyway. I will still be posting a few adoptables so I can pay for food and bills, but I won't be active for a while. I will take this break to draw things purely for myself, for fun, to experiment. I won't be posting these, so I can do it without any kind of pressure... Sorry if that sounds selfish, but I really feel like it's something I need right now. Until I can figure some things out.

Quelqu'un?
Je m'ennuis a mort depuis que je peux presque plus dessiner. Ca fait un bon bout de temps que je m'isole et ca n'aide surement pas mon moral, alors je me suis dit que ce serais bien de connaitre d'autre gens qui parle Francais puisque j'y suis beaucoup plus a l'aise pour socialiser. J'ai Discord et Skype que je suis plus active. Laisser moi savoir si vous voulez m'ajouter ou juste chatter par notes. Mais bon... je suis une personne plutot timide avec des interets ennuyeux alors n'ayez pas de trop grande attentes ;u;
Adoptables and new account
I mentioned this briefly before, but it's now decided I will be uploading most of adoptables and other things on a separate account. For the longest time I've been thinking of keeping my work separate from my personal art. I want to keep this current account for illustrations, paintings and personal art. Other things such as adoptables, resources, commissions will be uploaded to that other account Korajora (https://www.deviantart.com/korajora) I will probably be updating and uploading more often on that other account once my arm is healed, good new is it's getting better!
Arm injury
Not good new... since 2 weeks, I had to stop drawing due to a shoulder/arm injury. It was triggered from drawing for too long in an uncomfortable position, moving my arm across the tablet too often. But the pain only started after 3 days of doing this and it was already too late when I realized. I was trying a different coloring style and got too aggressive on choosing colors (the position of the color picker on my screen was not convenient).
In 12 years, this is the first time I have significant pain caused by drawing, so I don't really know what to do or what to expect of it. It's making me worried, since drawing is my only source of incom

I've heard from other artists that when they encounter what you have, they stop doing the art they have been doing. It gets dull. They start drawing or painting in a different style or different subject matter and that seems to help.
