More from Winston
If you are taking the time out of your day to read this, thank you it means a lot to me.
I've been dealing with some mental issues ever since the middle of middle school (a long while basically). I've been dealing with depression, a little bit of anxiety, and an intense case of perfectionism. I've always had a bunch of dreams, my main one is to make a game. Now one of the reasons why I haven't started is because I actually hate working at a desk but more than that I'm worried my perfectionism will make me hate myself even more than I do every day.
Basically I just need help to figure out an effective way to deal with my depression and perfectionism so I can actually pursue some dreams of mine and not hate myself on a daily basis. And no I won't go to a therapist, I know they do help but I don't trust doctors or any kind even if I know they're trying to help me.

This is one complicated thing. And I'm not qualified to give solutions, but may be I can give a few tips that work for me, might work for you as well; first, taking a small step at a time, Plan on doing what you can do thing for today/tomorrow, like "drawing at least a thing for myself and having fun" start with something you can reach and done with comfort. When you feel confident enough, you can move forward, start pushing for something slightly farther away. If your goal were "one picture today", you could push for "try to improve the character pose" or "a new character," a goal that needs more effort but is still comfy enough to do.
You need to treat yourself. It's normal to feel down or be down, that's ok, but you also need to be the one to pull yourself out of it and not stay in the downs for long. learning to appreciate what you have done and what you can.
