You’re so young. To say you’ve “lost” the ability to write- as someone who is about to cross the threshold into 30 without a feature script to my name (working on it) I would say that your existential dread is premature. Take a day off, watch movies, get drunk, and do absolutely nothing productive. Just remember- any thought that tells you you should harm yourself is bullshit and not part of the creative process.

Also I’ve been on antidepressants for years. I’m having difficulty shitting out my first feature because it’s my first feature, and it’s going to be terrible, and the last time I made terrible art I cut myself because of the reaction from my professor. “Your class makes impressive short films”. Art is terrible, why do we do this, why do I do this?

DO NOT harm yourself. Take a break. You are a beautiful person and so am I damn it, no matter if I’m confused or stupid. Doesn’t matter, I exist, you exist. Whatever snarky bullshit these not getting laid ass smart white single men with small dicks (99% of Reddit) post is not going to change that.
