ComicCon stress....
I had the world's biggest panic attack today, one so bad I had to call off work, and I'm expecting to have another.
ComicCon starts on Wednesday, but Cory and I are leaving tonight to go home to my parent's house, cuz the drive to San Diego is shorter and easier from there.
But back to the panic attacks. My sleep schedule is totally and completely effed up, which is causing so much stress you have no idea. Right now, I'm only basically awake from roughly 5pm to 6 or 7am. This puts me in serious problem, because I'm heading home to a 9-year-old brother and a family who's going to want me conscious. I just spent the past two days in physical agony putting myself through voluntary jetlag trying to fix my schedule, but it backfired and failed completely when I couldn't fall asleep at all last night, despite the fact I'd only gotten four hours of sleep that day. In fact, I didn't even fully fall asleep until noon today. 6am was when the full blown of the panic attack hit. I was just curled up in my shower with cold water hitting me just sobbing my eyes out.
I feel like a total failure, really. I have done nothing -- NOTHING -- since Monday. I haven't even touched my tote since posting that Joker picture (so the Joker isn't even done, let alone the other sides of the bags), I'm leaving tonight, within four hours, and I've only just begun to pack. Basically, I just feel like I'm losing my mind, and it totally sucks.... if it weren't for the fact that my family is expecting me and comiccon is next week, I'd probably have jumped off a roof by now...

You might want to try focusing on something. Give yourself a task of some sort...right now, that task probably would involve packing. I'd say "Don't stress out", but that's usually easier said than done.
I've been really stressed about Comic Con too. Let's work through this thing together!
Nextly, agreeing with Mischief, get some optimism in you, girl! D: Even if a situation is frick'n stressful or chewing into your brain, you always gotta find something in it to cheer you up because half the time there IS something that will do it. Situations and challenges are easier if you find some sort of silver lining to either look forward to or focus on.
;D So cheer up, girlie. You get to go to Comic Con, see all sortsa stuff...have fun with it. And get some sleep. Your body's health is more important than any of that stuff, whether you like it or not. Dx

Now with YOU, since you seem to be on a better track towards a career in something awesome (with your portfolio and all), I have to say - you may want to consider getting your butt to a comic con one of these days, even if it's not THE Comic Con. I'm not sure about the smaller cons overall, but I have a friend I went to effing daycare with who's been going to SDCC the past six or so years, and she's been making all sort of professional contacts and stuff there. Cartoon Network is having a beach party she's gonna drag me to, some dA people organize "drink and draw" nights (for when you're over 21), and they have portfolio review sessions with people from such notable places as DC, Marvel, Nickelodeon, Disney, and Wizards of the Coast (as well as from less notable more indie places). XP So... just saying, when it comes to advancing your career... it's probably definitely a smart move to get over there eventually.
Thanks so much for the comments! I really am doing better now, I promise.

For real? o.o
YES, I want to go to a comic con so badly. Dx I don't care what TYPE of comic con (okay, DC would be nice) but, I just want to experience that environment. D: SDCC? Duuude, a CN beach party? That sounds fun and--dude, portfolio review sessions with DC people? That's like...beyond epic.
D: Guuuh. Yes. I need to find a way to get to a comic con. Are they always in California, I must ask? Because the college I'll most likely be going to is in Georgia. ...maybe I should just start saving up for a Comic Con trip...
;D Excellent.
Thank you for the tips.

I'm le curious, just cuz I don't know you all that well - what is it you want to do?

Yus, I'm definately gonna have to find a way into at least one of them. Meh. I've got some time. >.> I suppose.
Career wise? Uh, I'm not entirely sure yet...trying to keep that door open/diverse as I can. Idefinately know I want to go into something along the lines of 2D/3D animation or illustration...especially with comics. That'd be beyond sweet.
Either way, I want to be able to draw and tell a story...if that makes sense. *shrug* My strengths tend to be in the dry media/digital media, since I'm about 95% self-taught.

And crowds spook me too, you have no fracking idea. People scare me. I'm pretty damn social phobic. Like, officially. It really, really blows. -_-

It was back when I rped horses, like...ALL THE TIME. I realized that they needed a background to explain their character development, so, I started writing for that. Then one of my friends asked if I drew stuff 'cause it'd be cool if I could draw my characters. I drew nothing but horses for...about a year and a half straight. xP This was back in 8th grade. I don't think I started drawing humans consistantly until, well...just last summer. BUT YEAH, that's where it all started. xD; I like...require a combination of writing/art. And music. Music is highly depended on.
Dude, crowds freak me out. Back in 9th grade, my highschool--goodlord--I hated it. JUST the freshman campus alone had well over 1,300 students. So walking from classroom to classroom was like hell in a handbasket. Bumping into people, getting sandwiched...guh. Dx That's why I love my new school...I think the senior class is only, like...18 kids. xD It's awesome.
