what indie said, no need to always post stuff to the art portal! you can just set doodles to not go into it and they will still appear on your profile and in peoples' feeds!

If you're suffering from art block, some tactics I always use is doodle things for upcoming events (IRL, Newgrounds, or trends), or doodle something that's way out of your league, or in some cases: just doodling your emotions.
Though, in my case I tend to polish even the most meaningless doodles. Just because I think it's funny to have a super polished and well done drawing of like a character face-down on a bed. That's just me though.
It can be good to ease down on things if you feel a sense of burn out, as forcing yourself to continue can be more damaging than not, especially with more going on or if you find yourself to be too focused on doing your best, at least in my experiences.
With that said, you might surprise yourself to cut loose a bit and do what feels good in the moment, though that may largely depend on if you find it easier to work with a plan or being in a natural state when drawing. Who knows, maybe posting outside the portal with sketches could be of some relief possibly.
No worries, man. Come back whenever you feel like it
