Does anyone every feel this way?

Like when you draw a picture on the computer, and you post it, on a forum or an art site, you're all like "HUR DURP THIS PIC IS SO AWESOME, ONCE I POST THIS EVERYONE WILL TREMBLE AT THE SITE OF MY DRAWING SKILLZ" or something like that. Then maybe a day later you look at your picture and you want to throw up and you're like "HOLY stuff THIS IS HORRIBLE, WHY DID I POST THIS HERE. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID" and you feel ashamed, and stuff. Yeah like that. Not particularly with just art. But everything. Seriously I do this all the time. And if anyone has this mental problem, is there a way to prevent this? Because it's kind of annoying to feel like I'm the ruler of the universe and then I wake up the next morning and I start self loathing and I begin to go into spiraling depression.

Not just with pictures. But with life, y'know.

I go to bed feeling extremely happy and loving everything in our local group then the next day, I wake and feel like I wanna put bleach in a cup and drink it.

[Black and White]

yes :S

Every time I'm drawing something, I'm all like "This is looking awesome, this is totally cool."
The minute I stop drawing, I end up seeing all flaws and throw it out.

I get this too about certain things.

Its just you doubting your abilities. When drawing your confidence is there and you are happy to post it. But afterwards, when you go to look at it afterwards, you worry about what others think and you'll judge your work too harshly and think its terrible.

I'd say its a sort of modesty and / or lack of confidence in yourself. Though perhaps you should draw, leave it for a few days, then return to it; if you still like it before posting, do it. Otherwise change it accordingly.
