All in all I would say just grit your teach and try your best with what you want out of life, even if what is holding you back is you.
I am 25 and I won't be done with school til I am around 30. When I think about how much I dislike the fact, I remember that being 30, and never graduating from school etc would be much worse.
Insofar as drawing is concerned, I understand the frustation, I can barely draw basic shapes anymore, when I used to do well at such things. Not being as good as you used to be isn't a red flag to give up though, it is something to make one thing why their performance declined, and how they got that good to begin with, beyond generalizations.
I am my own worse enemy when it comes to doing things, which is bad since because I live by myself, there isn't anyone other then me to give me a kick when I need it. But even as much as I abhor too much of my day being written in stone, I make basic daily goals for myself without setting a particular time to do them at first, then if that doesn't work, I set a particular time. In my case it is trying to learn Japanese. Iplan on being an english teacher in japan after graduation. So it makes sense to knwo what people are saying. That and of course I am a huge anime fan, and that helps out as well. I am also looking at learning chinese after I learn japanese. The problem is that as bastardized as english is, it is more or less one big lump of a language, while japanese and chinese use that twice bedamned kanji, have various regional dialects, and so on. I am in the process of learning hiragana at the moment, then going to katakana, and finally kanji. One of the things to make it a little easier to learn is that hiragana and katakana are like 'letters' of the alphabet, and kanji are like pictures. For example, remember the picture books from childhood that would have 'apple' written and then a picture of an apple? Well hiragana and katakana are like 'apple' and kanji is like the picture of the apple.
Even after all this time my ability to run enthusiastically off my train of thought is aweinspiring. o.O
Well, I hope you quit getting injuries and insults and whatnot, and get back into the swing of things with your art.
