I am a 52 year old creative. Been a designer, web developer and illustrator/artist all of my life. I have CPTSD and have recently had the rug pulled on a lifelong project. I feel BLURGH! I am in my studio and for the first time do to want to create anything. My confidence is in the toilet. I love your honesty and openness Mr Choe. Your channel is the first place I come when I want some positive creative reality.
I recently started working a "normal" job in a desperate bid to be a functional human and have financial stability. Things started unravelling quickly. So this week I quit. My wellbeing is far more important than $$. To stave off depression, I took myself op shopping (thrift/charity stores) and baked an apple pie. Then I went to youtube and received this divine gift. Be it synchronisity, algorithm or divine intervention, thank you David Choe for sharing yourself authentically with us. I'm getting the paints out now to smash out a bit of the angst. Big love 🙏
i keep typing and deleting this comment because im not sure how to say this. i just got out of the hospital for depression. it was the sixth time in the last 6 years. your videos are really comforting to me right now. thank you
It surprised me how much it bothers me seeing David depressed. He's such a kind hearted person and his videos cheer me up so when he's hurting I feel really bad for him. He's one brave dude though for posting stuff like this. I wish we had more people like this guy on this planet.
This is categorically false and terrible information for those who suffer. You do not speak on behalf of artists or depressed conflicted people. Conflict and depression isnt an automatic companion or side effect to creativity for everyone and it doesnt have to be. Creativity is often the channel and therapy for those who have depression and conflict.. not the other way around.
@avidadolares I find it interesting that, looking at these 2 comments, englewood9377 appears to be content with her life, and you are noticeably upset by her comment regarding what her truth is, and you're attempting to engage in conflict w her because what she says doesn't ring true for you. Depression manifests differently in all of us, and the solutions are equally diverse. Ur comment appears to be designed to cause negative emotions to someone who has found a way to keep themselves in a positive mindset. What other outcome could you expect? Maybe you're not aware of it, but it might be worth considering, since I can't imagine why u would want to spread negativity.... It's none of my business, I just wanted to share a different perspective...
Microdosing mushies have changed my life and deal with my emotions better instead of burying it inside….its also made me see the world differently and just want to create whatever that makes me happy….thx for being you CHOE….
here's my hack, David: get paint from the oops section and depending on who's working the paint counter, sometimes you can get them to add more pigment to it and experiment to make a new and better color (go when they are not busy). They will tell you it won't be able to be matched but you can assure them it will be a 1 off.
David you are naturally hilarious. Keep expressing your creativity. Suggest to also spend more time in nature without needing to do something or filming. The most intimate state to be is with oneself in silence. Know the depression that you feel is also every one else. We are all one silly. You are a sensitive being and you feel everyone’s pain. A daily ritual that works for you to remain rooted. Highly recommend to reach out to Peter Crone or listen to his work. Thank you for being vulnerable. Keep expressing your creativity. Much love brother.🙏
I did stare into your eyes,and i did crack a smile and started tearing up. Fuck...I never knew i needed to stare into a strangers eyes on youtube to feel something. Thank you Dave.
I've struggled with anxiety depression for most of my life. Its refreshing to see see others do too. It's refreshing to have conversations about these things and for them to be normalized and seen as seasons of life that affect everyone. Thank you for sharing some of your self care tips and favorite things with us.
As an artist, clothing designer, craftsperson, gardener and fixer, I too go to Home Depot when I’m feeling down, depressed or lost. Sometimes it inspires me to do a new project which can pull me up, even temporarily.
Dave I feel TOTALLY connected w u. Not just because you’re here making vids, not just because I’m learning, not just because I lived in LA for a while, not just because you’ve read the messages I’ve sent u on instagram, but because I know you know how to connect. And you’re good at it!
I used to get this VIetnamese dessert from the market called Saigon Lake. It was pretty much sweetened coconut milk with gummy bear textured fruit and gelatin. Awesome addition to any munchies expedition.
I have fairly debilitating chronic pain issues and have been on many different meds, some of which can send me into an emotional spiral, and some which do little for the pain but nothing to my feels. I understand the struggle.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable s0urce here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, blizmyco. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
This channel is the most powerful art your are creating. It has given me inspiration do deal with my depression. Life pulled the rug from me and these videos help more than you know Dave. I want to create again thanks to you, Dosume ❤
How refreshing to hear someone say the quiet things out loud. Totally jealous over the the sticky rice dessert! Haven't been able to have it for years sadly. The price of living in a 'small' town.
Saludos desde Mexico señor Choe, thanks for your videos they are inspiring and you are helping me cause I feel lost and the only reason that I wake up to is to find a purpose. I send you lots of love :)
I cannot believe how much i (New Zealand Maori Woman) have in common with David Choe❤😊❤. I know i am having a bad health day when even my favorite foods do not get me excited. I also love checking the Off tint section at the local hardware store😂
Thank you for this, David. Your videos help me feel less alone. I've literally laughed and cried with you. Your honesty and vulnerability is beautiful.
*lock eyes* this too shall pass David, I hope tomorrow it doesn't feel so hard to swallow. Keep doing what you're doing, eat those snacks until the taste hits hard again, untill everything hits hard again, it will! 🙏
this just makes you more real in my eyes. as a fellow artist ya gotta have low days to know the highs. cheesy but grateful to see this side of someone I admire and look up to. love you bro.
Sometimes the videos you release are so timely for me that it feels designed. I'm also on similar medication and have lost weight and am still experiencing this feeling of dissonance and ambivalence, and feeling shame for feeling this way when I'm actually at a really good point in my life, with a good job, making more money than I ever have, in the best place I've been in my relationship, have 3 beautiful cats that love me. I dunno, just hearing this from someone else was so helpful. The reminder to move my body, interact with others, to eat the things I love, and importantly the permission to be kind to myself. Thanks man.
I was ready to buy a ticket from Chile to the US just to run to that Home Depot and rescue the doggo paint 🥹 🐕👌🏽 i love your videos,it feels like a warm hug to me 🫂💛 thanks!
The switcherooo at the end got me! I’ve been fighting depression too, after so long digging myself out and finding art and living in this golden haze of creating and just feeling so connected…I’m blah again and it feels even worse. I feel hopeless and forgotten by God. I guess I thought after I worked out all my trauma, that I would just be free and light and happy and centered, that I would have the answers I guess that would free me. This video shows me that you can have everything I think I need and still be in the thick of it. LOL I know that should make me more depressed but It’s actually freeing. I’m going to keep using my tools, keep being kind to myself, take a spiritual shower and try to wash it away, get messy with paint, listen to music and try to find some food in these bare cupboards. This too shall pass. Thank you, you helped. ❤
I just watched a few of your more recent videos...And....I so relate to my past as an artist myself in Hawaii and Quebec City... I would suggest you get a life out of success. Out of the web...Then, come back less depress, with more wiseness and less fear to loose the press....or others. Much unconditional Love forever and Appreciation goes from my Uni-Verse to You.
I’ve been in a funk lately and being super hard on myself. But this video really made me feel 1% better and then I watched more of your videos and felt much better. Thank you for putting out videos and sharing with us
I feel connected AF. Thanks for being real Dave. I relate a lot with how you feel. I feel angsty and stressed, but I have no idea why. Creating makes me feel better. Maybe, one day, we can just create together and feel together. Love you brother.
We have a desert in Jamaica similar to the taro and sticky rice. It's called blue draws, tie-a-leaf, or dukunu. We use grated green bananas or sweet potatoes, coconut, and spices, then wrap the mixture in banana leaves before cooking. It's sooo good.
i absolutely do THIS!! I get more "satisfied" by walking aroundthee massive stores just imagining all the awesome tings i can do then leave stisfied (ish!!) by leaving knoowing ive created in my head even if not followed through in socalled ral life ,,,,you know?
🖤🤘🖤🤘🖤🤘 glad to always see you doing all you can to better yourself throughout the years!Thank you for always being an inspiration. Loving the vlogs/ weekly wisdom you post!
Thanks for sharing your vulnerability with us. I believe that’s also a form of art that’s heavily underrated. I’m also a Korean-American artist born and raised in LA. Always resonated with you and your work and would be honored to meet you sometime.
Bzzzzz 🐝 It comes and goes.... depression... it's nice to know you're not alone in the experience... thanks for that hacks and the Thai snack recommendations. Much love 💗
hell yea david choe. Chicago been having me feeling more in a slump than in normally does, but im back on the drawing board, appreciate the words of whatever-
I feel this. I’m not “depressed” in general, but sometimes my medicine makes me feel so nothing. And as a foodie my desire and craving for food is sporadic. I miss wandering in LA… I’m moving back 😭
I thought I was the weird (?) one that goes to Home depot to get those free stuff.........I am glad that there are us(?) like ppl (?).....Yes, we are all connected.............take care of your health with out it...............we are all nothing............just the soil on this Earth~~ have a nice(?) or even not the best of the week but be content(?) with yourselves ....... we are all different but not weird!! ** Love what you are doing~~
Hey, brother. I feel the same. I feel anxious all the time, too depressed to find joy in anything - even things that previously helped me get through tough times. I feel like no matter what I do or where I go, life always seems so grey and uninviting. I know you take a funny approach to having depression to make things more digestible to everyone, but I can feel the pain you're feeling because I resonate with what you're saying. I've had lifelong depression and a never-ending sense of failure, along with very little positive influences in my life and no regular friends. I'm glad to see you're succeeding, despite the mental battles you're facing. I think sometimes it's nice to stop, take a breath, and take stock in those that are around you that care about you. Really lean into the love people are giving you and try to give it back as best you can. But realize some days are harder than others and don't be too difficult on yourself for not meeting mental expectations. I stumbled upon your content by accident but I appreciate your realistic approach to being a human and a creator. I hope you're having a better day than when this was uploaded. Much love, man.
Dude….thank you for this much needed video, I wish I could convey how much I needed this video. A lot about the beautiful being you are resonates with me and it nice to not feel alone, so thank you sir 🙏
You've made my life so much brighter over the past decade. Like massively, you have been the gateway to some of the most important aspects of life. The most recent being introducing me to Cartoonist Kayfabe about 3 years ago. Last year I drew a 156 page comic/art book. I literally wouldn't know about AFX without you (it was the first money mark episode way back im pretty sure). Just Thank You Dave
You may have just cleared something up for me: every time I go into Michael’s I have to go to the restroom. Then I walk a couple doors down to go to the restroom to Target because I have no idea if Michael’s even has a bathroom for the public. Maybe I am literally clearing myself of all my depressive thoughts at the moment because that’s where I tend to go when I’m depressed, even if I’m not really buying anything. For you is Home Depot for me I think it may be Michael’s.
Appreciate you leaving in the vulnerability (about how you were feeling when this was recorded) in this video. Never a fun place to be, however, it is very relatable! So, thanks! And thanks for all the inspiration. I'm creating differently now than I was before finding your TH-cam content, and it's been a fun and interesting evolution! Also, your I AM shirt is 🔥✨️
You’re post money & im definitely pre money. Depression is the worst, anxiety is the worst & PTSD is the biggest worst. I like your art & I like you you I’ve subscribed so I can keep both. The depression I have has stopped me being creative since December 2023. I’ve doodled for literally about an hour in that time. I’m in the doldrums but it’s good know I’m not the only one. Thanks for being honest & sharing. I’ve seen you on Joe Rogan too & think you’ve had some great adventures. I too found a dinosaur. It was at the bottom of my daughter’s toy box & we’d been searching for it for days, so don’t give up hope you to will find your dinosaur. Cheerio.
I need to practice this practice. Trying to focus on art though I gravitate to Target and The Dollar Tree. Now that I know there Home Depot hacks, the world is my oyster.

Where did you buy that “I Am” shirt David? It’s awesome! 🔥🔥
You've made my life so much brighter over the past decade. Like massively, you have been the gateway to some of the most important aspects of life. The most recent being introducing me to Cartoonist Kayfabe about 3 years ago. Last year I drew a 156 page comic/art book. I literally wouldn't know about AFX without you (it was the first money mark episode way back im pretty sure). Just Thank You Dave
You may have just cleared something up for me: every time I go into Michael’s I have to go to the restroom. Then I walk a couple doors down to go to the restroom to Target because I have no idea if Michael’s even has a bathroom for the public. Maybe I am literally clearing myself of all my depressive thoughts at the moment because that’s where I tend to go when I’m depressed, even if I’m not really buying anything. For you is Home Depot for me I think it may be Michael’s.
I love your videos David ! Greetings from México
I appreciate the realness of life ^__^ thank you
love you dave
Appreciate you leaving in the vulnerability (about how you were feeling when this was recorded) in this video. Never a fun place to be, however, it is very relatable! So, thanks! And thanks for all the inspiration. I'm creating differently now than I was before finding your TH-cam content, and it's been a fun and interesting evolution!
Also, your I AM shirt is 🔥✨️
You’re post money & im definitely pre money. Depression is the worst, anxiety is the worst & PTSD is the biggest worst. I like your art & I like you you I’ve subscribed so I can keep both. The depression I have has stopped me being creative since December 2023. I’ve doodled for literally about an hour in that time. I’m in the doldrums but it’s good know I’m not the only one. Thanks for being honest & sharing. I’ve seen you on Joe Rogan too & think you’ve had some great adventures. I too found a dinosaur. It was at the bottom of my daughter’s toy box & we’d been searching for it for days, so don’t give up hope you to will find your dinosaur. Cheerio.
I also walk around stores at odd hours of the day without buying anything.
Usually grocery stores.
You are my favorite person! Thanks for sharing.
my life is so good. yet here i am, watching youtube at 3:58 pm on thursday and eating tic tacs. at least i’m watching you and can relate.
💙💙
Dave you are my favorite
I need to practice this practice. Trying to focus on art though I gravitate to Target and The Dollar Tree. Now that I know there Home Depot hacks, the world is my oyster.
