i dont know honestly if this is supposed to be mental health, even if some of the following things describe physical health somewhat. i feel like im sta5rting to get worse and worse at everything i do an somewhat panic. i am an excellent sketcher, but over the course of 1 week ive completely mistaken on all of my sketches without actually getting what i am trying to get. ive tried to keep calm, but it never worked, the more i concentrate the worse they looked. i am above decent in basketball, but right before the christmas holiday i was TERRIBLE, unable to guard easy to block shots, steal, make good passing/crossing, dribbles and shooting aswell ( even from short range). theres more hobbies but id rather not enumerate and just generalise. its fucking my brain up and i am constantly switching from a new hobby to another and mistaking everything for each. i dont know what to do, i feel like doubting myself i feel like i lost a ton of confidence and self-esteem and pm i feel like i dont have absolutely anything to do in life and no purpose.

I don't know what mental illness you have in specific but many illnesses can cause issues with memory, concentration and motor skills. don't worry it will likely pass, but you will need the right help. Can you tell me a bit more about your mental situation?

Sounds a little like you're slipping into a slight period of depression, but for a diagnosis you'd have to see a professional to do a proper anamnesis. I'm writing this not to pull you down even further, it's nothing to worry about for now, really, most people go through these kind of episodes once in a while and then they dissolve by themselves... Maybe try to not generalize things too much, as in "I'm a failure at everything," because it might just make the confirmation bias stronger. Instead maybe rationalize more, ask yourself if what you're thinking is an objective truth or if your subjective feelings might be adding layers of exaggeration onto your perception. Sometimes it also helps to focus more on things outside of what you think you need to be good at (like the quality of your art and basketball playing). For example, spending more thoughts on people dear to you, taking nature walks, or whatever you may already know helps you get out of the circle of negative thoughts and feelings.
I hope any of this makes sense, I wish you to soon feel better and back to your normal confidence! If it gets worse, however, I would recommend you to see a mental health counselor or therapist, they definitely can help you much better than just a message in some forum. :) All the best to you!
