Anyone else gets anxious when doing what they like?

I do creative writing as a hobby, but lately it's been a source of such anxiety and I don't know why , maybe because I'm a perfectionist.

Anyone else? And how do you cope if your source of comfort is now one of dread? :")

@Kuffiyah

I too am a perfectionist.

I would give it a little break, do something else you enjoy and then come back to it with a clear and unpressured mind 💜💖

Yeah same here. I do creative writing as a hobby too. But I'm so anxious to under perform that it has become a source of anxiety for me.
