Long story short, when I was younger, I used to draw all the time. As I got older, my anxiety started kicking off, and I became very critical of everything I did, which also impacted my drawing so much that I quit altogether. For a while now, I've had this urge to create something. I think it might stem from the fact that I've never been good at talking about the way I feel, and it would seem like a good idea to process my emotions in some other way.

I've tried to look up things about art therapy, basically how I could try to use those things by myself, but I haven't found anything too helpful online. My biggest problem is that whenever I decide to draw something, I never have any ideas, and even if I do, it's been such a long time since I've last done it that I'm very lacking in skill. That then leads to me becoming very frustrated and quitting. Are there some exercises I could begin to do, especially the kind that are focused on improving creativity and expression rather than skill?
