Question for the community as a whole. How do all of you deal with anxiety and to be more specific feelings of inadequacy when trying to rp with others. I already have a problem with keeping rps gping for long periods of time due to my IRL being a mess from time to time and throw my ADHD into the mix and i quickly lose interest in something im not completely focused on. I also try to at least let my partners know whats up but i can go from being on every day to ghosting for months on end. So how does everyone deal with it?

Everyone has their highs and lows. I go from making a few long posts I feel confident about a day, to struggling to make a post. Making some kind of disclaimer in your profile, and being up front with your roleplay partners, is something that can help to prevent any upset feelings.

If you're not feeling it, then you're not feeling it. Your roleplay partner needs to decide if a possible long wait between posts at times is something they can handle. Some people lose interest.

You're a good roleplayer, and everyone on this site has times where they are on less frequently. Or when their muse is being a little shit head and won't cooperate. My job and my family drain me sometimes and I got nothing left for roleplay. I'm involved in several roleplays that I absolutely love, but sometimes my brain is like, "Sorry but I want to save Hyrule or watch funny cat videos right now, maybe later." I HATE to keep people waiting, but I'd rather shoot them a warning and wait a bit longer than send them a crappy post.
