Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Or, as what happened with me, people start to notice your work and stuff gets popular and you get real chances of earning money and getting jobs from it but you buckle under the pressure you put on yourself and end up killing your creativity. It's been almost a decade and I'm still unable to make things as I did before.

I feel this deeply. When I have been really depressed, it is like all my creativity has drained out of me, and I second guessed even boiling water when I am actually an amazing cook. I am very lucky my mom likes to cook with me (she calls herself my sous chef, so sweet) and put up with affirming me almost continually for awhile when we cooked together. I hope I never end up back there; dark times. Having a therapist has also really helped. I hope you find a way back to your creativity. It may never be quite the same, but I promise it can be great again in a new way. Baby steps, not giant leaps.
