I'm driving myself crazy at the moment trying to balance burnout with just being able to help. I'm juggling a lot and this week is going to create a hurdle in my personal life that I'm going to have to face on my own. I just wish this was easier.
Jan 26, 2026 06:44I was beating myself up trying to make something, especially draw, but I didn't do any of that. Personal circumstances are worrying me and it's making me realize that I feel any time spent creating, or even enjoying hobbies, is childish. Time can be spent better helping others, apparently.
I'm just reaching my limit again and I wish I didn't feel like things would explode if I didn't put all my energy into everyone else but myself.
I'm hoping what I face this week will pass but I won't know or if it'll change my life. I just know that I can't do things alone anymore.
Prioritizing my self more is the goal. I want to help people in the various communities I find myself in, but I think my public persona for years now has been defined on myself helping others and ignoring myself, that's no way to live.
Just gotta re balance things. I'll always try to help though
