I'm gonna try to keep this short. I'm sorta kinda losing interest in Scratch. My mental health is not very good right now. It's been that way for about a year now tbh, but right now it's quite particularly bad. I've been doing things to try and fix it, to little avail. I'm making a bit of progress tho which is good, but I am FAR from feeling okay again. I've also been dealing with quite a few issues surrounding my identity, and how I wish to express myself [ If you know what I'm referring to please try refraining from mentioning it in the comments of this ]. I have no ideas for projects and the few ideas that I DO have either get messed up during the process of me creating them so I give up on them altogether, or I have no motivation for them, hence the lack of project uploads. Scratch as a whole has felt like it's becoming quite toxic too as of recently, tho I imagine that's most likely due to the things happening in America. It's mostly subsided which is good. I'm considering leaving Scratch [ if I do end up leaving Scratch it'll most likely be AFTER the YAB program is over fyi ], or at the very least taking a break to sort out my identity, regain motivation and ideas and overall just get my mental health back to being somewhat okay again. I've been on this website for nearly 5 years, with little to no breaks or dips in activity whatsoever and I feel like I'm coming to a bit of a breaking point. I've made promises that I'll be less active but never followed through with them. Thing is, idk how long exactly the break will be, or what? That's where you lot come in. What exactly should I do? Should I take a break? If so, how long for? Your input on this would be greatly appreciated, especially if you're one of my friendos and you talk to me often. :3 Have a great day folks! :D [ TL : DR // Bad mental health and lack of ideas and motivation kinda making me lose interest in Scratch sorta. Considering taking a break :p ]
