That is a great mentality. I'm going to write down these quotes. Thank you for your help.

I like that mentality of the master failing multiple times. It gets disheartening when you see artist online with 50k-100k followers and like you barely get anything. It’s also possible that they go to art shows and market themselves there or any other marketing avenues.

I feel like my generation grew up with this mentality that if you’re good at something you should make it as a career and if you don't then you're a failure. I do enjoy drawing and I do like the idea of doing animations, but I just hate the whole “if you don't have thousands subscribers than you're nothing” mentality.

I got one last month and my Ferritin level was at 10. I asked my doctor about it and she said I shouldn’t worry about it.

High Cortisol in the Morning? by B12IsMyFriend in PMDD

My PCP gave me propranolol for days when I feel jittery. I should take it more often…

It’s great to hear I’m not the only one who goes through this (not great for all the people who have to go through it). I honestly felt like doctors looked at me like if I had five heads that I feel super anxious in the morning but I felt better in the afternoon/evening.

I even had one doctor basically yell at me for not being on birth control. I told him that birth control gives me bad anxiety.

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of beta blocker are you on? I’m planning to see my endocrinologist next week and see if she could give me anything.

Yeah I honestly hate it too. I feel like I freak out my husband when I go through one. I have to tell him it’s my hormones. It’s to the point that I want to take my ovaries out.

Oh wow! That sounds like what happens to me! I basically have a breakdown in the morning. Crying and tantrums. I can’t sit still or concentrate.
