This is literally my life with (undiagnosed for a long time) ADHD.

It helped me to reframe it in terms that remind me it is temporary. It sucks I'm not doing what I want right now, but it doesn't mean anything about me as a person.

Plus, feeding yourself is valuable work. Even if it's macncheese.

I did this bit for ten years straight. Lots of lost art I won’t get back.

To really commit to the bit: Make creating art your full time job and then feel exhausted and desperate for a break, but also being incapable of actually taking a break because art is just about the only thing that actually helps you relax.

I felt bad about not doing art, but now I discover I've been doing a bit for the past 4 years, so it's like I really was doing art!

Here's a bit idea: steal people's time, creative energy, labour, and surplus value so they don't have a chance to dedicate themselves to art the way they'd like to.

Don't feel bad about it comrade

i've performed thousands of consecutive renditions of 4'33"

get on my level

Are you me? I posted about not feeling happy with making music just like 2 days ago.

Were in this together comrade! If you wanna drop me a line and chat, feel free!

I’ve been going through the same - you’ll feel artsy fartsy again in no time - until then we’ll all accept you for just being fartsy :)

Mac n' cheese should be your number one priority it's the thing that holds back progress on the rest

Otherwise I must confess that my main motivator for creation is to see other people do art I find bad and thinking I could do better, pretty toxic obviously but goddamn effective, use at your own discretion
