Thank You Xambgii for your comments they are really appreciated.
Not sure if this may help you or something you may like to look into which is Behavioural Activation/ Activity Scheduling.
This is only my point of view and how I am and towards things sorry if this is not helpful for you but thought you might like to see how another view things. Also just got some sheets and tips from T so I am on a I can change/ do this role, happy space in mind and not thinking clearly to tell truth but happy delusional.
Back to what I was trying to given example of, instead of having to achieve a certain thing or amount or quality. E.G if I try to draw and usually it comes out like a three year old would do, then that's going in the bin and I am not drawing again for like months. Even though I got B grade in art at GCSE.
You look at how to build it back into your schedule/life. The thoughts I get are I am no good, it will not be worthwhile because I am going to get frustrated and annoyed. Even if try the outcome will be the same. You have to try and set aside these self doubts/ thoughts.
By planning how to get this back into your life. So firstly my T point’s out does it matter if you are any good if your just doing this for personal pleasure. Is anyone going to see so who will know the out come of your drawings. Is it your own personal self thoughts that you are not good? Also if you have been a bit low in mood and not thinking right and not drawing regularly are you really going to be really good when you draw next? Like most things in life you have to learn how by making mistakes but if you don't carry on then how will you know if this is justifiable or negative self doubt.
Then plan maybe a certain day/ number of days a week or time period when you are going to draw. Then think of things what are you going to draw say an object you have or something from your mind what ever come into at that time but try to narrow it down but not too much. So say if you couldn't concentrate on the object you chose and decided to draw say monday each week for 15 min. Next monday don't give up just because you couldn't concentrate on that object that time. Try another object or approach to drawing depending on what’s not going right for you. Maybe looking back a family member distracted you so try another time/ day or place e.g beach or park. Also rate your mood and thoughts try to write them down before and after as a way of evaluating and trial and improvement to get this back into your life. Also a way of personal self happiness/ structure for me personally that’s why I need task and hobbies to start as stepping stone may not be same for everyone as way or what you chose for behavioural activation/scheduling.
Once again sorry if this not helpful just an approached I have recently learned and trying to put in action.
