Not an actual crisis if you clicked on this thinking it would be urgent you were WRONG haha pranked you. But please read this it’s kinda important Okay but seriously. I’m actually losing touch with a lot of my ocs. This hasn’t really happened to me before, my life basically revolves around my ocs to a concerning degree so this is lowkey a bit scary. I have not thought about Twizzler at all lately. Or like half of my other ocs that used to be my favorites. I used to find a song I really liked and have an oc to use it with. These days I try to make an animation of some sort but have no one I want to do it with. ik this sounds really overdramatic but as I said earlier my ocs are INCREDIBLY important parts of my life. So imagine starting to lose interest in one of your favorite things in the whole world. The thing is it isn’t because I’m getting more interested in other stuff, my interests have remained about the same and there’s just a void where one of the biggest parts of me just isn’t anymore. I’m not uninterested in having ocs, I’m just uninterested in a lot of my ocs at the moment. I have no idea how to deal with this. It’s like artblock but worse. I want to make stuff with my ocs but I don’t have ocs that I want to make stuff with. Of course there are ocs I still really care about, but there aren’t as many as I’m used to so my options feel really limited. I have literally no idea what to do if anyone knows how to deal with this PLEASE tell me. This has been happening for like 3 months. I’ve been trying to make new ocs that I’m more interested in but I just don’t get connected to them. Please help. (Side note: there is a possibility that this is because of depression, I am not diagnosed but there is definitely the possibility that I do have it. I’ve got pretty bad seasonal depression in the summer in past years (yes I know it’s weird but we stay in our family’s beach house for basically the entire summer which means I’m hours away from any of my friends, not to mention there isn’t really anything fun to do here cuz I don’t like the beach) and its not surprising if that’s what is going on with me now. It might go away and maybe I’ll be fine once I go back home but I really have no idea.) (Side note #2: this could also be because I’ve been starting to try and handle more mature and sensitive themes in my stuff, I’m not forcing it or anything I’ve just been feeling more compelled to write about stuff like that. I could be losing interest in a lot of my ocs just because they don’t really feel as realistic to me now that i know how many people struggle with this stuff, but again a lot of my ocs that I used to be interested in did have sensitive topics involved in their stories so im not really sure) Thanks for reading all that, again if you’ve dealt with something like this before PLEASE let me know if there’s any way you’ve been able to help it.
