I haven’t drawn with my white pens in ages…
That’s partly because I have a large stockpile of art supplies to choose from but I’ve settled on some favourites that I use most of the time.
The other, more significant part, is that sometimes the way I feel physically makes me forget to do some of the simple things I truly enjoy doing. Although art is now the method I use to cope with my pain, engaging with the creative practice I’ve established isn’t always easy.
Pain that never stops has a way of dulling one’s interest in doing anything beyond basic daily tasks and it isn’t always easy to muster the energy to do much more.
When I do feel able to do something creative, it usually involves drawing lines; and drawing flowers that might exist only in my imagination is definitely one of my favourite things.

Very nice. I’m the same, I have a lot of different supplies but only use a few things. Then I’ll break something out and it reminds me why I don’t use it.

I have an obsession with art supplies–the more colourful the better–but after I get them I feel bad about breaking them open & spoiling them.
I know how silly that sounds but little by little I’m working on that issue because each time I try a new item I learn something new . Sometimes, like you, it’s not a positive experience but I still try to see that as a learning experience.
