thankyou for normalising breaks from true crime content! i would watch true crime all the time, multiple videos daily!once i had a baby i started to suffer with post partum anxiety and my OCD flared up so intensely that i decided to take a break, i ended up taking a break from it for a whole year and have only recently felt comfortable enough to come back. i hope you’re okay!
literally just asked out loud “universe give me a sign not to end it all” and suddenly when i refresh the page, a video about taking care of your mental health comes up. i literally just got done crying before opening youtube too. UPDATE FROM A DAY AGO?? YOU PEOPLE ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY SWEET FOR YOUR REPLIES OH MY GOSH??? I PROMISE IM OKAY. I WAS JUST IN A VERY DEEP AND DEPRESSIVE EPISODE BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS, I COPED WITH IT IN A HEALTHY WAY. IM SAFE, I PROMISE
1. This is Your Sign to Keep Going You are loved, even when it feels impossible to believe. Your presence in the world matters more than you realize. This moment of pain does not define your entire story-it’s just one chapter, and better chapters are ahead. 2. Seek Help Without Shame Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Talk to someone you trust-whether it's a friend, family member, therapist, or support group. You don’t have to face this alone. 3. Small Steps Matter Focus on one small, kind action for yourself today. It could be as simple as taking a deep breath, drinking a glass of water, or stepping outside for a moment of fresh air. These small acts add up. 4. The World Needs You Even when you can’t see it, your life impacts others in profound ways. Someone needs your kindness, your perspective, and the unique gifts only you can offer. 5. It’s Okay to Not Be Okay Healing is not linear, and it's okay to feel lost sometimes. Your feelings are valid, but they are not permanent. Hope, like the sun, is still there-even behind the darkest clouds. If you’re looking for a sign to stay, let this be it. You are worthy of healing, happiness, and love. Keep holding on, one moment at a time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Truck Driver here, I found you a few months ago and been listening to your videos while I drive and I Love you and your team. Take care of yourself and we will be here waiting for you 🙏🏽💪🏽🥰
i’ve been doing my makeup to your videos since i was 17 and now i’m 22. you have always been such a great story teller and done such a wonderful job at relaying the HEAVY information of these cases respectfully. i can only imagine how taxing that is and i hope you’re feeling better soon
Second this! ❤ I was 15/16 watching her vids I’m now 22… would sob my eyes out if I met her in RL. Must be mentally straining researching and putting content together especially on hard and heavy cases. Girlie take all the time you need. Sending love ❤ Will now rewatch every single video again for the 100th time whilst cooking or doing my makeup hehe xxx

I’m crying 😭😭 we will miss you so very much, your voice has soothed my anxiety so many times. I have fallen asleep to the sound of voice. You’ve been just great for my anxiety not only bc of your voice but your compassion, your advocacy, your respect. I’ll just really miss you. I understand taking care of yourself & I hope you get to feeling well & find your happy space. ❤ much love!
i COMPLETELY understand the mental breaks, i get them too(i suffer from almost the exact same neuro-spicy cocktail), and your openness about your struggles and why you take breaks has honestly been one of the things that made me love you so much!! take care of yourself, take a break from the research if you need to, and we will all welcome you back whenever you’re ready
I love true crime but I can't watch it everyday either because I know it's real people that it has happened to and it's so extremely heartbreaking!! So good for you for taking a break from it all as well❤
I relate to this so much. Thank you for leading by example and just being the realest of reals. I only found you and subscribed today, but even if you never post another video I’ll stay subscribed forever, because you’re a gem :) Wishing you and your team well 💕
I’ve been subbed on all my accounts since I was a teenager & now I’m 23. Thank you so much for being there for me, even when you didn’t know it. You brought me a lot of big sister comfort, even with the scariest stories. I appreciate you so much. You’re awesome. ❤
so glad this video was recommended to me since now i'm able to catch up on the content i missed from not watching for a while! glad you're able to recognize when you need a break, have a nice one :)

been subscribed to you since 2019 and i’ve always admired your hard work and passion you put into your videos. it is also greatly appreciated as to how respectful you are when talking about the cases you research and keeping their name alive and fighting for justice. you are truly a blessing eleanor. praying for your health and happiness 🩷🩷🩷
Wishing you the best Eleanor. I’ve followed you for years now and I’ve always loved you and your content. I hope you get the rest and recovery you need and know we will be here for you when you’re ready to return.
Been subbed since 20k and I adore you and your videos. I’ve always admire ur both personal and journalistic approach that amplifies and respects victims and their stories. I’m so grateful for all the work that you’ve done and that you’re taking a break to take care of yourself, it is ALWAYS the most important thing. And when you’re ready to come back, I’ll be here and I think I speak for everyone when I say we’ll wait for you. Love you loads 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
All this to also say, I struggle with my mental health, I understand. I’ve had to take a recent mental health break from true crime because I am going through my own traumatic trial right now but I continue to watch your second channel and it brings me so much joy when I can’t always stomach the true crime. Thank you for the distraction and safe place you provide 🫶
You just broke my heart! I follow you all over but I will totally miss listening to your true crime. I'm so proud of you and I am glad you are taking the steps you need to that will help keep you happy and healthy (all around) you have been such an inspiration! I truly appreciate all of your hard wkrk!!
me too i found myself more anxious than usual during my true crime obsession i still have to listen to something while doing chores or showering because i am addicted to podcasts and switching to celebrity gossip and lighthearted stories helped
i often watch smosh more, as it’s always been a comfort channel for me, when i feel myself in a darker state of mind. i can fall asleep listening to Eleanor and her videos, but breaks from the dark content can be better than anything for the mental 🩵
Same, when i am at work i listen to true crime stuff but i have also felt really depressed with the excessive consumption, i wonder if there was a similar format of videos that were not true crime but some like dumb or lighthearted stuff, if that makes sense? Just to take a break from that stuff bc it is so interesting but also detrimental to your mental long term
I started watching your videos in 2019, strangely enough, watching your content as really helped me during a difficult time in my life, and especially during covid. I really appreciate everything you do here on this channel. You have got to be one of the most respectful, genuine, and considerate people out there. What you do is super important and I will be rewatching some old favorites in the meantime. As a listener, I take indefinite breaks here and there from true crime content as well, but I really haven’t thought about what it would be like to be doing true crime as a job. Please take care of yourself and I am looking forward to seeing more content from you in the future. Happy new year and best wishes to you and your team
I just recently stumbled upon your channel and when I saw the title of this video I was like “nooooo.” However, your transparency is refreshing, and you need to take care of yourself first and foremost! I hope that you find the rest, relaxation, and reset that you need. ❤❤

@Loomie-j9u I haven’t seen the slurs, but I assumed that this individual was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Eleanor doesn’t give off “stealing content” vibes. I just preferred to ignore it vs giving the poster any attention. I appreciate you calling this individual out though!
I love the way you handle the cases with care. Even though I love your content, I too take breaks. Mental health breaks are important. Hope you have a wonderful new year and enjoy life ❤
the way I saw this video hung up the phone with my friend ands IMMEDIATELY had to start watching...also so brave for sharing thank u so much bc this is just such a healthy way of talking about mental health,, you're such an angel to the true crime community!
I was about to crumble when I saw the title. But please, pleeeease do indeed look after yourself. We love you and we'll be waiting whenever you're ready ♡
I totally get this and really appreciate you telling everyone to be mindful about their true crime consumption! I used to watch/listen to true crime 24/7 and would even put videos on to help me fall asleep and only a few months ago realised what it was doing to my mental health, even when I try to watch videos now I can’t. It really messed with my brain so I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling doing all the research for your videos, take all the time you need❤
ive been subscribed to eleanor for so many years. whenever i create a new social account she is the first person i follow or subscribe too. i dont know eleanor personally but i feel like i kind of do due the friendship i feel in the video as she speaks to us as an audience in a familiar and loyal way. you deserve this break eleanor much love ❤
Wishing you the best during this content break! Been watching since like 2018 and I've never been disappointed by anything you've put out. Wishing you all the best 💗
Eleanor!!!! Depression/anxiety/adhd girlie over here. I can relate as I’m sure many of us here can - take as much time as you need, we love you!!! Take care ♥️
This is so lovely of you, Eleanor. I haven't followed you for that long but just hearing you describe how you've "disappeared" in the past to now taking the time to tell us why and be vulnerable in that way is so huge! Take the best care of yourself and we'll be here whenever you're ready to return 😊
For sure you and I will be. If I had to bet, so will 97% of the audience be as well. I would write 99.9-100%, unfortunately in the past I've witnessed people un-subbing because they feel they are "OWED" and won't accept a short break for mental wellness. It's quite disheartening. Take care of YOU. If anything, I like you even more because of this public post. See you soon my friend:
whenever i feel really down mentally i avoid true crime, which is my favorite thing to watch, but hearing the cases can be tolling to one's mental health, researching and telling them must be much much more dragging sometimes. just like you let us do if a case might be too heavy, take as much time as you need. we will all always be here for you. take care of yourself
So proud of you for speaking about this. I feel like especially for true crime content creators (as well as viewers, but more so the creators) mental health is something that can really be affected and I never actually see any true crime TH-camrs talk about it, so thank you for speaking about it. I hope you are able to reach a place where you feel better mentally and are able to put yourself and your own well-being first. Sending lots of love and we’ll miss you but take care! See you next year x❤
eleanorrrr this was so raw and unfiltered, and the way you stay strong even through sharing this personal info, since i found your channel like half a decade ago, youve helped me have a safe place to come, spreading awareness and entertainment and youre just so mindful and sensitive to the cases you cover, we love you so much!! 🫂
I love your videos I watch them every day whether it’s in the morning getting ready or after school so take your time and enjoy yourselves love you!!! ❤❤
I always wondered how you managed to get though these stories with all the reaseard you do and figured the long break where either extensive research and breaks!! Glad youre taking time to yourself to relax, recover and take care of yourself! Stay safe and hope to see more content whenever youre ready too post! :D
I just want to say that I’ve been listening to you for years and it’s been a part of my evening routine to listen to you so I’ll definitely miss that but good for you to put you first and come back stronger. Thank you to you and your team for everything you’ve done ❤
I have been watching your channel since the beginning and have loved watching you grow and becoming such a happy beautiful woman. Make sure to look after yourself and we love you!
Completely understandable. You make great content and are extremely respectful telling these stories of tragedies. Please take all the time you need to recover and breathe. I look forward to your return.
You, your team, and all of your mental health are more important than anything!! You are so brave to talk about your personal life-takes a lot to let people peek around the curtains to see your true self. You will help others to get better themselves so thank you for sharing! Take your time and we’ll be here when you come back
I always wondered how you guys do it; the content you have to deal with, while interesting can definitely take a toll on your mental health, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself!
Been watching you for past 3 years, and can say your best, I always look forward to seeing your videos when they pop up, taking time out for you is always right thing to do ❤
Love the Ed Hardy shirt, and you do whatever you need to do to be the best you for yourself! You do such hard (like HARD) work. We are so grateful. Adored you for years, and Mary Chrysler
Understand 100% of every sentence. And understand is an understatement. I am walking in your shoes. I myself struggle with mental health. I need small breaks daily due to invisible disabilities. In August, I started my first semester of college, and it ended so badly for me health-wise that I am glad to still be on this mortal plane. I am proud to proclaim that even though I literally walked through hell, I never gave up (even though I got extremely close), and I got very good grades. Every time a content creator explains they are taking a break for themselves, I tell them I don't care one bit WHY they are leaving and to DO IT. I care more about the creator than whatever content they put out, regularly or not. It breaks my heart when they apologize for taking care of themselves because they can't give the content people love. I love your videos. They are informative, compassionate, and professional, and you and I share interest in the topic. But I will NEVER be upset if you leave. Never. Because you as a person matters 10 thousand times more. I will patiently wait for your return. I won't get upset that you don't post new content. In fact, I enjoy re-watching your older content. When you return, I will congratulate you on taking care of yourself. (Which, by the way, is HUGE for a person struggling with mental health. When you understand what you need and express it, that is astronomical.) You rock, Eleanor. And I hope this will be healing to you. (Ps. Don't come back until it is.) I can't wait to see you again. Enjoy it. You deserve it.
Very reasonable of you, great example as to how to deal with these things in the modern world. Look after yourself babe, we will be here when you’re ready xx
You don't owe anyone an explanation. I've been subscribed to you for years, and I appreciate everything you do for us. Take care Eleanor, and I can't wait to see you again. Much love!
I’m a 16 year old girl who has severe anxiety and depression and I get burnt out easily and you coming out about it makes me feel less alone so thank you hope you feel better soon ❤
Thank you for the update! I can only imagine how hard the information is to go through when you already have mental health problems. Thank you for all you do!
Highly commendable! Taking breaks is so important for longevity in any career but especially one where you delve into the gory details of crimes. Look after yourself Elle xxxx

literally just asked out loud “universe give me a sign not to end it all”
and suddenly when i refresh the page, a video about taking care of your mental health comes up. i literally just got done crying before opening youtube too.
UPDATE FROM A DAY AGO??
YOU PEOPLE ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY SWEET FOR YOUR REPLIES OH MY GOSH??? I PROMISE IM OKAY. I WAS JUST IN A VERY DEEP AND DEPRESSIVE EPISODE BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS, I COPED WITH IT IN A HEALTHY WAY. IM SAFE, I PROMISE
I hope you've got a support person you can lean on right now. Sounds like you're in a rough spot. 🫂
Prayin for you girl 🙏🏾🙏🏾💘 ur not alone 💋
1. This is Your Sign to Keep Going
You are loved, even when it feels impossible to believe. Your presence in the world matters more than you realize. This moment of pain does not define your entire story-it’s just one chapter, and better chapters are ahead.
2. Seek Help Without Shame
Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Talk to someone you trust-whether it's a friend, family member, therapist, or support group. You don’t have to face this alone.
3. Small Steps Matter
Focus on one small, kind action for yourself today. It could be as simple as taking a deep breath, drinking a glass of water, or stepping outside for a moment of fresh air. These small acts add up.
4. The World Needs You
Even when you can’t see it, your life impacts others in profound ways. Someone needs your kindness, your perspective, and the unique gifts only you can offer.
5. It’s Okay to Not Be Okay
Healing is not linear, and it's okay to feel lost sometimes. Your feelings are valid, but they are not permanent. Hope, like the sun, is still there-even behind the darkest clouds.
If you’re looking for a sign to stay, let this be it. You are worthy of healing, happiness, and love. Keep holding on, one moment at a time.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don't give up ❤
🤗🙏🙏🙏🤗
Truck Driver here, I found you a few months ago and been listening to your videos while I drive and I Love you and your team. Take care of yourself and we will be here waiting for you 🙏🏽💪🏽🥰
i’ve been doing my makeup to your videos since i was 17 and now i’m 22. you have always been such a great story teller and done such a wonderful job at relaying the HEAVY information of these cases respectfully. i can only imagine how taxing that is and i hope you’re feeling better soon
Second this! ❤ I was 15/16 watching her vids I’m now 22… would sob my eyes out if I met her in RL.
Must be mentally straining researching and putting content together especially on hard and heavy cases.
Girlie take all the time you need. Sending love ❤
Will now rewatch every single video again for the 100th time whilst cooking or doing my makeup hehe xxx
I have also been watching her since I was 17 and am now 22! Eleanor and Kendall Rae are the most respectful true crime creators.
To everyone reading this, the person above me claiming that Eleanor stole their content is lying. They have said the same thing about many other content creators. They are using rage bait for attention by saying sexist things and calling people slurs. Do not interact with them. Please take this as a reminder to not fall for rage bait accounts, and call them out so other people don’t fall for it either.
Girl you do whatever you need to do. Love to have seen your growth and glow over the years ❤️🥹
saw the title of this video and fell to my knees in anguish. haven’t watched yet but hope everything is okay with you and you’ll be back to us eventually. love you so much
“fell to my knees in anguish”??? girl I get it but😂😂
@ its just a figure of speech.
tysm for making content! take your time. talking about true crime definitely takes a toll on you, even to us consumers at times. I wish you luck and thank you!!
I’ve been subbed since middle school n im 21 now. I’ll always support you luv ❤❤. Take care of yourself. Put yourself first always, we will always be here. Xoxo
Girl I just lost my job and a big part of it was a combination of a harsh working environment mixed with anxiety/depression/surprise ADHD diagnosis. Take all the time you need! We are happiest when you show up feeling happy as well. It's like taking a break between semesters!
Hey it’s okay! We support you! I am a very sensitive person sometimes, I feel deeply. I completely understand what you mean. Take all the time you need and we will be here when you come back!
I’m crying 😭😭 we will miss you so very much, your voice has soothed my anxiety so many times. I have fallen asleep to the sound of voice. You’ve been just great for my anxiety not only bc of your voice but your compassion, your advocacy, your respect. I’ll just really miss you. I understand taking care of yourself & I hope you get to feeling well & find your happy space. ❤ much love!
i COMPLETELY understand the mental breaks, i get them too(i suffer from almost the exact same neuro-spicy cocktail), and your openness about your struggles and why you take breaks has honestly been one of the things that made me love you so much!! take care of yourself, take a break from the research if you need to, and we will all welcome you back whenever you’re ready
Neuro spicy cocktail..i like that😂😂 SAME
Hey I'm my own blend of neuro spicy cocktail too 🤣 nice to meet you 🫠
I love true crime but I can't watch it everyday either because I know it's real people that it has happened to and it's so extremely heartbreaking!! So good for you for taking a break from it all as well❤
the title made my heart sink, stay safe !!! ily eleanor
I relate to this so much. Thank you for leading by example and just being the realest of reals. I only found you and subscribed today, but even if you never post another video I’ll stay subscribed forever, because you’re a gem :)
Wishing you and your team well 💕
I’ve been subbed on all my accounts since I was a teenager & now I’m 23. Thank you so much for being there for me, even when you didn’t know it. You brought me a lot of big sister comfort, even with the scariest stories. I appreciate you so much. You’re awesome. ❤
@@SolitaireTv I love this comment❤️I feel the exact same way
Girl im boutta have a heartattack and the ad is long af
I was like "WHAT IS HAPPENING IS SHE OKAAAY?!"

What was the ad advertising?
Yt premium is worth the price, y’all
1:35 I can only imagine how difficult this work is. Plz take care of yourself! We will be here when you get back. ❤❤❤
Understand completely and appreciate you sharing with us!
Sending you positive vibes
Look after yourself ❤
so glad this video was recommended to me since now i'm able to catch up on the content i missed from not watching for a while! glad you're able to recognize when you need a break, have a nice one :)
just screamed “NO WAY” reading this title
as invested I am to your channel, I’m glad you take breaks. some times I take breaks from your videos bc they can be difficult to tune into. you’re amazing & i’m grateful for eleanor neale as a person & as a channel. thank you 🩷!
Just started this, but I’m sending you so much love right now! I’ve been here since the very beginning and I appreciate your hard work so much.
been subscribed to you since 2019 and i’ve always admired your hard work and passion you put into your videos. it is also greatly appreciated as to how respectful you are when talking about the cases you research and keeping their name alive and fighting for justice. you are truly a blessing eleanor. praying for your health and happiness 🩷🩷🩷
I’ve watched you for years and you are one of the best people doing true crimes. You deserve a break see you when you get back ❤️
Wishing you the best Eleanor. I’ve followed you for years now and I’ve always loved you and your content. I hope you get the rest and recovery you need and know we will be here for you when you’re ready to return.
Been subbed since 20k and I adore you and your videos. I’ve always admire ur both personal and journalistic approach that amplifies and respects victims and their stories. I’m so grateful for all the work that you’ve done and that you’re taking a break to take care of yourself, it is ALWAYS the most important thing. And when you’re ready to come back, I’ll be here and I think I speak for everyone when I say we’ll wait for you. Love you loads 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
All this to also say, I struggle with my mental health, I understand. I’ve had to take a recent mental health break from true crime because I am going through my own traumatic trial right now but I continue to watch your second channel and it brings me so much joy when I can’t always stomach the true crime. Thank you for the distraction and safe place you provide 🫶
You just broke my heart! I follow you all over but I will totally miss listening to your true crime. I'm so proud of you and I am glad you are taking the steps you need to that will help keep you happy and healthy (all around) you have been such an inspiration! I truly appreciate all of your hard wkrk!!
Thank you for letting us know this time, I was so worried last time you went MIA x
The way I RAN to watch this
3:33 yes girl, back in summer i was on a big true crime kick and i had to stop cause i was to the point i was shaking 😭😭
me too
i found myself more anxious than usual during my true crime obsession
i still have to listen to something while doing chores or showering because i am addicted to podcasts and switching to celebrity gossip and lighthearted stories helped
i often watch smosh more, as it’s always been a comfort channel for me, when i feel myself in a darker state of mind. i can fall asleep listening to Eleanor and her videos, but breaks from the dark content can be better than anything for the mental 🩵
Same, when i am at work i listen to true crime stuff but i have also felt really depressed with the excessive consumption, i wonder if there was a similar format of videos that were not true crime but some like dumb or lighthearted stuff, if that makes sense? Just to take a break from that stuff bc it is so interesting but also detrimental to your mental long term
@@ingamankayi6460 yes there is, look up BAM podcast and Moral of the story podcast
I started watching your videos in 2019, strangely enough, watching your content as really helped me during a difficult time in my life, and especially during covid. I really appreciate everything you do here on this channel. You have got to be one of the most respectful, genuine, and considerate people out there. What you do is super important and I will be rewatching some old favorites in the meantime.
As a listener, I take indefinite breaks here and there from true crime content as well, but I really haven’t thought about what it would be like to be doing true crime as a job. Please take care of yourself and I am looking forward to seeing more content from you in the future. Happy new year and best wishes to you and your team
I agree especially with the first sentence....Me too ..
Take care of yourself! I've had to cut way back on my true crime intake for my own mental health. Sending love ♡××
I just recently stumbled upon your channel and when I saw the title of this video I was like “nooooo.” However, your transparency is refreshing, and you need to take care of yourself first and foremost! I hope that you find the rest, relaxation, and reset that you need. ❤❤
ELANOR HAS LEGIT STOLEN CONTENT FROM ME AS A VICTIM I AM SO UPSET NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME!!😭
@@ville-c4unobody believes you when you call a bunch of TH-camrs slurs and say they stole content you don't have
The first person in this reply section claiming that Eleanor stole their content is lying. They have said the same thing about many other TH-camrs. They are using rage bait by saying slurs and sexist things for attention. Do not interact with them. Take this as a sign to not fall for rage bait, and call it out so others don’t fall for it either.
@Loomie-j9u I haven’t seen the slurs, but I assumed that this individual was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Eleanor doesn’t give off “stealing content” vibes. I just preferred to ignore it vs giving the poster any attention. I appreciate you calling this individual out though!
I love the way you handle the cases with care. Even though I love your content, I too take breaks. Mental health breaks are important.
Hope you have a wonderful new year and enjoy life ❤
Take as much time as you need! Always put your health first.
Thank you for all that you do 🩵🩵🩵
the way I saw this video hung up the phone with my friend ands IMMEDIATELY had to start watching...also so brave for sharing thank u so much bc this is just such a healthy way of talking about mental health,, you're such an angel to the true crime community!
"Hung up the phone with my friend", parasocial much? 😬
@@artyb27no i was js otp w my friend and was like “DUDE I NEED TO GO”
I was about to crumble when I saw the title. But please, pleeeease do indeed look after yourself. We love you and we'll be waiting whenever you're ready ♡
Girl you’re channel got me through middle school and high school 😭🫶
No she didn't 😭🙏
I totally get this and really appreciate you telling everyone to be mindful about their true crime consumption! I used to watch/listen to true crime 24/7 and would even put videos on to help me fall asleep and only a few months ago realised what it was doing to my mental health, even when I try to watch videos now I can’t. It really messed with my brain so I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling doing all the research for your videos, take all the time you need❤
I totally relate to the burnout and sensitive mental health. Please take as long as you need and take care. We'll be here when you return later. 💗
Best of luck in your future, Eleanor. Thanks for all the joy over the years ❤
ive been subscribed to eleanor for so many years. whenever i create a new social account she is the first person i follow or subscribe too. i dont know eleanor personally but i feel like i kind of do due the friendship i feel in the video as she speaks to us as an audience in a familiar and loyal way. you deserve this break eleanor much love ❤
Omgggg noooooo😢 wishing you a great reset for your mind. And happy holidays Eleanor!✨🥰
Hope all is well! I struggle with anxiety and depression too. Can’t imagine how hard it is to do this as a job. get better soon! ❤
Wishing you the best during this content break! Been watching since like 2018 and I've never been disappointed by anything you've put out. Wishing you all the best 💗
Eleanor!!!! Depression/anxiety/adhd girlie over here. I can relate as I’m sure many of us here can - take as much time as you need, we love you!!! Take care ♥️
Noooooo, your videos help me survive the week! We're gonna miss you so much!! ❤😢
i hope you’re okay, take care of yourself💘sending so much love
This is so lovely of you, Eleanor. I haven't followed you for that long but just hearing you describe how you've "disappeared" in the past to now taking the time to tell us why and be vulnerable in that way is so huge! Take the best care of yourself and we'll be here whenever you're ready to return 😊
For sure you and I will be.
If I had to bet, so will 97% of the audience be as well.
I would write 99.9-100%, unfortunately in the past I've witnessed people un-subbing because they feel they are "OWED" and won't accept a short break for mental wellness.
It's quite disheartening.
Take care of YOU. If anything, I like you even more because of this public post.
See you soon my friend:
whenever i feel really down mentally i avoid true crime, which is my favorite thing to watch, but hearing the cases can be tolling to one's mental health, researching and telling them must be much much more dragging sometimes. just like you let us do if a case might be too heavy, take as much time as you need. we will all always be here for you. take care of yourself
So proud of you for speaking about this. I feel like especially for true crime content creators (as well as viewers, but more so the creators) mental health is something that can really be affected and I never actually see any true crime TH-camrs talk about it, so thank you for speaking about it. I hope you are able to reach a place where you feel better mentally and are able to put yourself and your own well-being first. Sending lots of love and we’ll miss you but take care! See you next year x❤
eleanorrrr this was so raw and unfiltered, and the way you stay strong even through sharing this personal info, since i found your channel like half a decade ago, youve helped me have a safe place to come, spreading awareness and entertainment and youre just so mindful and sensitive to the cases you cover, we love you so much!! 🫂
Wishing you the best. Absolutely love your content. I’m glad that you’re prioritizing your mental health 💗
I love your videos I watch them every day whether it’s in the morning getting ready or after school so take your time and enjoy yourselves love you!!! ❤❤
I always wondered how you managed to get though these stories with all the reaseard you do and figured the long break where either extensive research and breaks!!
Glad youre taking time to yourself to relax, recover and take care of yourself! Stay safe and hope to see more content whenever youre ready too post! :D
I just want to say that I’ve been listening to you for years and it’s been a part of my evening routine to listen to you so I’ll definitely miss that but good for you to put you first and come back stronger. Thank you to you and your team for everything you’ve done ❤
I have been watching your channel since the beginning and have loved watching you grow and becoming such a happy beautiful woman. Make sure to look after yourself and we love you!
Completely understandable. You make great content and are extremely respectful telling these stories of tragedies.
Please take all the time you need to recover and breathe. I look forward to your return.
Hope you’re ok!!!❤
You, your team, and all of your mental health are more important than anything!! You are so brave to talk about your personal life-takes a lot to let people peek around the curtains to see your true self. You will help others to get better themselves so thank you for sharing! Take your time and we’ll be here when you come back
I always wondered how you guys do it; the content you have to deal with, while interesting can definitely take a toll on your mental health, I'm glad you're taking care of yourself!
Been watching you for past 3 years, and can say your best, I always look forward to seeing your videos when they pop up, taking time out for you is always right thing to do ❤
girl don’t do this to me
Read a book
@@danbh84 i read a lot actually do you have a favourite? 🥰
ALSO not as bad as i thought, enjoy your break Eleanor it’s completely understandable, im sure everyone will still be here and waiting🤍
@@jiminsnumONEbaelove this reply 😂
@@jiminsnumONEbae girl i love you so much 😭😭
Mental health is extremely important. Take care of yourself and I will continue watching your second channel. 😊
Love the Ed Hardy shirt, and you do whatever you need to do to be the best you for yourself! You do such hard (like HARD) work. We are so grateful. Adored you for years, and Mary Chrysler
Understand 100% of every sentence. And understand is an understatement. I am walking in your shoes.
I myself struggle with mental health. I need small breaks daily due to invisible disabilities. In August, I started my first semester of college, and it ended so badly for me health-wise that I am glad to still be on this mortal plane. I am proud to proclaim that even though I literally walked through hell, I never gave up (even though I got extremely close), and I got very good grades.
Every time a content creator explains they are taking a break for themselves, I tell them I don't care one bit WHY they are leaving and to DO IT. I care more about the creator than whatever content they put out, regularly or not. It breaks my heart when they apologize for taking care of themselves because they can't give the content people love.
I love your videos. They are informative, compassionate, and professional, and you and I share interest in the topic. But I will NEVER be upset if you leave. Never. Because you as a person matters 10 thousand times more.
I will patiently wait for your return. I won't get upset that you don't post new content. In fact, I enjoy re-watching your older content. When you return, I will congratulate you on taking care of yourself. (Which, by the way, is HUGE for a person struggling with mental health. When you understand what you need and express it, that is astronomical.)
You rock, Eleanor. And I hope this will be healing to you. (Ps. Don't come back until it is.)
I can't wait to see you again. Enjoy it. You deserve it.
Very reasonable of you, great example as to how to deal with these things in the modern world. Look after yourself babe, we will be here when you’re ready xx
off topic but the eyebrows look amazing, hope you enjoy your break ❤️
I applaud you for prioritizing your health and wish you all the best!
You don't owe anyone an explanation. I've been subscribed to you for years, and I appreciate everything you do for us. Take care Eleanor, and I can't wait to see you again. Much love!
Happy Holidays! I wish the best for you!
I’m so excited to see what content you’ll post in the future when you’re ready.🥰
AHHHH ELEANOR I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, GOOD LUCK BABES CARRIED ME THROUGH MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLY ❤
Aww I hope your okay sweetheart sending my love!! Love your videos, they’ve educated me so so much❤
I’m a 16 year old girl who has severe anxiety and depression and I get burnt out easily and you coming out about it makes me feel less alone so thank you hope you feel better soon ❤
Thank you for the update! I can only imagine how hard the information is to go through when you already have mental health problems. Thank you for all you do!
stay very safe and we will see you soon!
Never clicked a TH-cam notification so fast in my life
Highly commendable! Taking breaks is so important for longevity in any career but especially one where you delve into the gory details of crimes. Look after yourself Elle xxxx
GIRL don't scare us like that!!!
