There is nothing braver or more healing than being real about mental health and you sharing it with us. You are more of the type of human the world needs who inspires us to be our best. Hugs
RIP dear angel. Please give my son a hug.
This community loves you Cinnamon. So thankful you are taking care of yourself. I love going back and watching videos from the past. You just continue to heal and take the time you need because we are not going anywhere! Sending love, hugs, and prayers for a complete healing! ❤️🙏
All of us that are FANS of your work support you! We see you as a great mentor and we want to see you well! ❤️❤️❤️ Good vibes and prayers 🙏🏻 we won’t go anywhere! 🤩
12:43 Cinnamon is describing something known as Spoon theory. Those of us who are active in the disability justice space or are simply disabled know this theory very well. It simply states that each day we may have a limited amount of spoons or energy for any given day. Each activity we do whether physical or mental can take a certain amount of spoons or a toll on us to complete. Some days I might have 10 spoons and other days I might only have 4. So, I try to plan accordingly as much as possible (with my disabilities planning ahead can be a real challenge because I can't always anticipate how I'm going to feel on any given day) so I can still get things done and accomplished. Please look up Spoon Theory.
I absolutely hear you and feel you Cinnamon and I hope that you take care of yourself and feel better soon! ❤
Hi Annie, Thanks for talking about this. I can relate. I'm a spoonie. Hi Annie, Thanks for talking about this. I can relate. I'm a spoonie. @anniefitzgerald4447❤
That was the first thing I thought of "spoon theory". I have been using spoon theory since my 30's.
R.I.P. Cinnamon, You are sorely missed sweet lady. 💔💖
Thank you for trusting us with your journey. Thank you for sharing.
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR US ALL, IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING, RIGHT NOW.!!! Sharing, telling, so WE can see it in ourselves and others. WE NEED THIS! God Bless you for being honest and open and helping us heal ourselves and others. WE CAN'T ASK FOR MORE. xoxo Althea
I am so proud of you! For slowing down, for taking the time you need to care for yourself, for being brave enough to share your thoughts and your journey through your healing! You are an amazing human being, just because of who you are! As so many others, I care about you sooo deeply and am sending healing vibes, thoughts and prayers your way!
Your health is the most important thing! I know I have so much to learn on what you already have! Know we not going anywhere! So take all the time you need! Keeping you & the family in my prayers!
You are motivating me to take better care of myself. My mother has dementia at 88 and lives with me. My husband has what’s called smoldering myeloma. I am 1 year into retirement. My blood pressure has been elevated lately and my family and my doctor are encouraging me to make some time for myself. We lost our son to suicide 2 years ago. I’ve been pushing through and trying to keep going as always and I can’t because I don’t sleep well. I’m starting to realize that my health needs to become a priority. You’ve helped me to see that and I just want you to know that. You inspire me. Please continue to do what’s best for you. I’m a loyal subscriber to you and I know many are who watch you. Take care my friend and I will be taking better care of me because of you.❤️🙏
So sorry for the loss of your son. Take care.
A million hugs. ❤
Hi Cinnamon...yes for me therapy is paintjng or sketching. I am in control of colors I blend of what I want to paint...and it takes edge off and if I am gifting painting that makes me smile.
Cinnamon, the reason your community is there for you during this challenge you are experiencing is because you have been there for us for the past 10 years. Keep taking care of yourself & thank you for sharing so generously now. It is so brave of you to put these things out there. Continued prayers for your recovery
Take time for you and the process of healing. Rest when needed and just keep being you. My thoughts are with you, John and your family. We will still be here no matter how much time you require. Trust the process and know we care
Medication does suppress your creativity and silence your muse… I pray 🙏 for you Cinnamon. You are one of the BEST teachers out there. Don’t stop taking your meds. Your health is more important than ANYTHING. Love and light. Your partner in the same boat ❤️🕊❤️
We love you Cinnamon. Thank you for your video. Your vulnerability to share your progress gives all of us hope. We have the motivation we need to tell ourselves we are worthy of self care. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤
Prayers for you and the healing to help you feel like you again. God bless you🙏🏻
LOVE YOU CINNAMON! You are very brave! I admire you! Yes , we did come from a "power through" mentality that ignores the signs. Love You!
God Bless you and your family.😊
You got this girl!
Keep up the good working honey and you got a new ways do thing in your art work !
Thank you so much!! and I sure will 💖
Thank you Cinnamon for being honest and sharing what is going on with your life! I really do care about you and want only the best for the best and that's you. I understand and will continue to pray and do all I can for you. Your friend Ava ❤
I found that when life is challenging (for whatever reason), I use a twenty minute balance (20 minutes work, 20 min rest, 20 min play) in an hour. The enforced rest (rest means not doing anything exerting) allows me to recharge enough to do a bit more in the next hour. I hope you find what works for you to recharge and find a healthy way forward. ❤
As for painting, i love going through your channel videos and finding painting tutorials I've missed, and ones to revisit (hopefully with more confidence and experimenting the second time through). Looking forward to seeing everything you share. 🤗 Huge hugs
About mental health: to anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had kinda androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)
Same for parental abuse, narcissistic abuse, the list goes on and on and on. Me, the list was endless. Therapy can help. Good meds can help. Getting rid of unsafe and half-safe people in your life can help.
@@BronzeDragon133 Exactly. I've wasted so much time being loyal and kind to fake friends who were toxic and envious. Same ppl who can see our potential and value but will drag us down with intent and hideus determination, when they notice a slightest sign of insecurity.
Please take care of yourself. I love watching your videos no matter how old or recent. You are such a encouragement to anyone who is questioning their mental health. You are so blessed and loved .
We are still here and we still love you. Take your time and take care of yourself! I love your updates because we care about you and want to know how you are doing, but please remember you don’t owe us anything. But we appreciate your bravery and your spirit! Mental Health is important!
You are loved ❤
You are an incredible woman, so full of love and compassion. I’m so grateful I found your channel and your struggles with mental health does not diminish who you are or how we see you. I think you’re brave speaking out about this and wish others did so as well. I only have more love for you and am sending healing energy for you and your family.
Much Love!
❤️❤️🙏🏼Thank you for being so candid❤️
Sending healing prayers your way. Be kind to yourself and listen to your body ❤
Thank you so much and I sure am. I am getting better all the time 💜
I have talked about this for years. I can see it. I can plan it but something stops inbetween my brain and doing it. It sucks but at least you are recovering.
❤ Much love to you and your family - keep healing 🥄🥄🥄🥄
Thank you so much things are going good and getting better every day
Prayers and thoughts are with you! So proud of you for your bravery, you encourage myself and others. I am sure! Take care and have a wonderful day!
As a clinical psychologist I applaud this public discussion of the difficulty with medication which is necessary. You tell both how it helps and how it’s different. So valuable. Keep on keeping on.
You are an incredibly inspirational artist, not only for the TH-cam community, but also for the mental health community. Thank you for sharing your insightful, honest and brave conversation with us about your recovery. It reminded me that it's ok for me to take 5 sessions to finish a painting due to my own challenges. Tons of love and respect to you ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you so much that means a lot 🌺
You are an inspiration! I also struggle with major depression, chronic pain, and medication challenges. You help me to feel better about myself when I struggle getting through a painting. I so appreciate your openness and candidness. You are awesome and I am thankful for what you do! Love and prayers to you! ❤
Your tutorials helped me during my time of depression. You are in my heart and in my prayers.❤
Wishing you Well and sending Love and Good Energy your way ❣
Cinnamon, I truly hope you understand how very special you are, how wonderful and giving you really are. In one minute you give more than anyone else can in a 2 hour session(or more). You are generous, patient, kind and so compassionate. You have cultivated that spirit in your community here, and I'm sure in other aspects of your world. It's take care of Cinnamon time and that's a good thing. I'd have to say, at least for me....I'm all in! Take your time, take Cinnamon time, take care and God Bless.
You have been so easy to learn from, but you have to take care of yourself first. You are getting the help you need and thats the best thing for you. We all understand and wish you the best. We will all still be right here where you left us. Take care of yourself and we will see you soon.
It’s so good to see you Cinnamon. Your willingness to speak openly about your health is probably helping so many of your followers. You are going to win this battle. I went through a very hard time after having my daughter. Anxiety and panic attacks. It was a very dark time but I sought help and was able to come out on the other side back into the light. I didn’t think I ever would, but I did and so will you. You’re doing everything you should be doing to become whole again. Exercise, sunlight, sleep, healthy food, plenty of water and talking about it always helps to work through it. You mentioned that you’d like to learn to crochet. Do it! It’s easy once you learn, and fun! The yarn is so colorful and soft. It can be meditative as well. All you need to learn is the chain stitch and single crochet and you are on your way to making tons of items. I recommend a scarf as that would be the easiest to learn. Crochet helped me A LOT when I was having anxiety. Quiets the mind and redirects those pesky “what if” thoughts.. anyway, TH-cam has tons of great crochet tutorials. Start with “how to make a chain and single crochet” and you’ll be on your way. I have tons of yarn and hooks if you need any!! ❤ much love and healing vibes coming your way Cinnamon. Thanks for everything you do for us, but right now take care of YOU so you can come back to us. We need our Art Sherpa!! ❤
I’m a huge fan of yours Cinnamon, I love learning to paint, I also know we all need fresh air and sunshine to help us. Bicycling has really helped me cope, I have bike trails near me, and so happy it’s warming up so I can be outside. Keep doing what you can do, there’s plenty of content for all of us that you have already done. Breathe and enjoy spring in your neck of the woods. I love seeing all the migrant birds return and learned the names of so many birds bird watching with bird watching groups.
You are doing good Sherpa. I send my heartfelt love to you. Thanks for all you do for me.
You're a bright light to the world Cinnamon. I think your honest communication about mental health is a big part of your calling right now. So, thank you and continue to take really good care of yourself. ❤
Love you and your honest sharing.Your vulnerability is so refreshing. We need more honest people like you! Put yourself first for now! This is just a season. To everything there is a season. I’ve been through quite a few myself!!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉" Never a Sprint ...Definitely a Marathon..❤
Thank you for sharing your journey Cinnamon. Your health is most important. Take a deep breath and relax. Praying for your healing. Your body heals when you sleep so that’s of utmost importance ❤I find crocheting to be very relaxing!
Wow thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable. I'm glad you are taking care of yourself, so much wisdom in your words. Thanks so much.
I am blessed that I found you during my time of struggle. I had never painted before. 5 years ago I watched your techniques and it became natural for me. Right now I'm not painting because I don't have a place to but when I finally get a place to live I will keep this video in my mind. I was doing about 10 paintings a day. Thank you for being your authentic self.
You are loved..continue to heal and be at peace…
Your health is first and very important!! We have a lot to learn from you, And Thank you for sharing one more time your journey 🫶😊
Take care yourself and enjoy these little things that make you feel better ❤️🩹
We are your community 🫶❤️ and you are on ours prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤ We love you 😊 we are with you
Love your honesty. So many of us creatives go thru difficult periods. All people do. Sometimes meds are necessary-absolutely. I get it.
My SO passed away and I have had to radically change my time priorities. By being honest, you are doing way more for us than projects. I get where you are at. Don't rush to get back to full power - it's ok. For you, half of what you did before is plenty. ❤️❤️
Take care of you. We'll be here for you
❤Thank you for sharing your journey! So glad to hear things are going in a positive direction!
Hello Cinnamon and family, so happy for you, since a huge surgery started meditation, it will sure help you, and so happy you are taking good care of yourself, everybody, will still be there for you in community, you have been working so hard for your art, and community, sometimes your body and mind need a little break, and help…. Go go go Cinnamon and family,everything will be fine xx. We will be there xx
May God heal your mind and body quickly, Cinamon. As a fellow prescription taker for your mind, my heart goes out to you. I've been taking meds for the last 30 some years due to a near mental breakdown. I've tried to slowly take myself off but got worse. Dr. said I may need to be on it indefinitely. I've come to grips with it and you are so right to allow your body to tell you what you need, and be sure to listen to it! There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's no different than anyone that has to take blood pressure medicine for their high blood pressure. You go girl!! We're here for you!! You definitely will be better!! I made it by doing the same things that you are doing right now.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and journey. ❤️❤️❤️
I am so so sooooo proud of you for taking care of yourself and sharing your experience with such transparency. You are just so lovely and I have a special place in my heart … along with your sweet family ♥️
Do what you need do…and can do! You are so loved❤❤❤❤
We support you!!! Give yourself time. Love yourself. Give yourself time. You will get used to the medicine. Your energy will increase over time. I love how creative you are at changing your activities!!🥰😍
You are such a beautiful person. I appreciate your candor about your experience with mental health. I have struggled with depression for many years and still do. You are such an encouragement to me. Thx
❤️❤️thank you cinnamon for this heartfelt video.take care and take all the time you need to recover. I’m happy to do your older paintings.😊
Cinnamon, you are so brave and your amazing strength helps me because I relate to what you are going thru I am bipolar and it's difficult getting support out there sometimes . But I support you so much you are the reason I have painted the last 4 years and it is my self care for sure. We love you take your time be good to yourself ❤
Cinnamon you are a very brave woman. Because of you I called my doctor and started talking to a counselor again. After my previous counselor moved I didn't think I would bother with counselling again but you made me rethink that. I knew I needed help but kept putting it off and things got bad but now I am getting help. I guess I just need a push and you gave me that. I have started arting again as well. You are a light in a place that is dark for a lot of us. You are courageously speaking out and taking away the stigma of mental illness. God bless you hun and take care of yourself. We love you and want you to heal. Take your time and be sure the be good to yourself. John you are encouraging as well, going through this with Cinnamon can't be easy but you are doing it. You both give us hope and we give love back to you both. Hugs and prayers for you both.
Praying for you! Take all the time you need! Sending 🤗 ❤hugs
God Bless you Brave soul.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and being so honesty with your journey. It's so valuable. Sending love and light your way ❤❤
Hello Cinnamon. Take care of yourself. We are with you. Love you.
It takes so much work keeping the body and mind healthy. ❤❤
Apologies for the late comment, but as a fellow artist also making their way through the mental health recovery process(I struggle with Bipolar and am very open about it), your stories and artwork and tutorials mean the WORLD TO ME ❤ I am only 24 years young, and only recently found my passion for art and creativity while I was in college last year! I try not to beat myself up about starting so late, though it is wonderful to have incredible people like you helping and cheering us on along the way. Thank you reminding me that I don’t have to paint huge canvases weekly, or even finish an entire piece in one sitting. It helps me feel less shameful and disappointed in myself for not doing what I told myself to do, and instead being more mindful and appreciative of the entire process as a whole. Thank you for reminding me self compassion is just as important to the art process as the materials themselves are. Much love. Xoxo
Please continue to take care of yourself. I love painting with you. You describe what you are going through so well. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I hope I can get back on track. You inspire me to keep at it to better my mental health. "Never give up, Never give in! That will be my motto.
Say hi to the family!
I followed you years ago. Then I lost contact. I saw this video and was curious. I think you are so honest and real. I am sure you will help others who are struggling. I find you brave. I pray for your continued recovery. Good bless you.
Hello Cinnamon..hugs...in sorry to hear u were having me tal health issues. When I was watching u years ago. U helped me through my depression and PTSD. I always have seen u as supportive artistic and accepting. I did have a similar experience with not being able to think straight or find creativity..hold ur head high and never give up what u love. Take care Cinnamon ❤
You are such a talented artist, I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing this story, I hope it helps someone else realize what happens. You are a very talented, beautiful person, it takes a brave person to keep going.
Thank you for touching base with us. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself. I could not complete your projects in one day, so I’d pause the video and resume the next day. Two or three part projects would be fine for me:)
Mental health is so important... SO important! Am so glad that you got the help you need Cinnnamon! I have not been through exactly what you have, but I have had a lot of problems with my mental health when growing up. I still have GAD, but I manage for the most times now as I did get some "tools". I also am so much better at taking ME time. I do little things for just myself every day! But this is NOT about me. Keep on taking care of you! 🥰
I am so glad you found the help you needed too and that you take the time for care for your mental well being. Love all the support and kindness through the years Mona 💞
@@TheArtSherpa 💓💓💓
First you teach me how to art and now your teaching me how that relates to my mental health ❤
Cinnamon, you have been a blessing to me and I totally understand where you are at. Please know that I totally support your healing journey and the time it takes. I am praying for you ❤
Thank you for being so open and honest about everything that is going on. Thank you for all you do. Take your time, the Art Sherpa kids are doing alright, we will be here for you today and tomorrow. Peace within.
I'm with you, I believe everyone is with you. You are an incredibly kind and generous soul who helps people everyday! Please take the time you need and create as works for you. You will always be amazing.
Love you even more!! ❤❤ You are amazing, strong and beautiful!!
Thank you for sharing your journey. Life .....has its ups and downs and self- care is of upmost importance. "Be good to yourself....."❤
I used to paint with your videos a lot but I haven't done anything in years because I feel so burnt out & feel like I have no energy left in me to be creative, but I feel like I have no other option than to continue working. I'm so glad to hear you have the support you need to rest and take a break ♥
You are a gift. This community is here for you. Also, if it feels right, give crochet a try. Once you gett comfortable with the basc stitches, thinking is optional.
Please keep taking care of yourself.we are all praying for you and supporting you 100%. Take all the time you need to get better. We will be here when you are ready to teach us again. Miss you and know you are appreciated and loved God bless ❤
I have had similar issues but not to the degree you are going through. I am relearning that I need to take care of myself again. Stay safe, you are loved. We are all here for you! Hugs
You have given so much of yourself to others.... time to give some of yourself back to you....self care is health care ❤
I am glad that you are feeling better.
you r so brave! i am afraid to tell anyone im depressed because i had to give my much loved cat..what happened is i adopted a second cat and it was a constant cat fight//long story short i kept the newly adopted cat and let my son take my teddy..i had no options but its too complicated to explain..i know teddy is happy but i feel like ive gone through a heart wrenching death..i quit painting..i havnt left my home in 7 months...i sometimes try to paint but the joy is gone where it used to bring me such satisfaction..anyways, i think u r brave to talk about how u r doing and what you have gone through,,im 72 and in poor health so it was painting that kept me busy and happy...im going to click this b4 i change my mind about posting
Sending you the warmth and light that we all need to greet the day. I hope and pray for your joy to spark a smile that you truly feel down your toes 💕 I feel for you. My Boo passed over today. I have many cats and three dogs too. They're all family in fact I guess they are my children as I have no human children. Cinnamon is very brave and wonderful, she really does bring beautiful joy.
My Father was a talented painter, he suffered from depression and had a difficult life. I am a struggler, not terribly talented but I really enjoy painting. I wish you well. I hope it wasn't rude of me to respond to your comment to Cinnamon 🌹
❤ You got this.
I am very glad to see you taking care of yourself. Crochet can be a nice, lower mental effort creative activity. I personally find Filet Crochet fairly zen. You create these images in your work through placing and skipping stitches in a pattern. Crochet can also be challenging if you select harder/more complex patterns. I hope you find something you like! If crochet isn't for you, I find that counted cross stitch can sometimes scratch the same itch.
Little lessons and a slow pace is good for me. I love to paint with you. Finished the Christmas cow for my great grandson and next will be Jack and Sally. Take care.❤
Dear Cinnamon, please take care of yourself, you should rest when needed and medications too. You are doing great please don’t struggle with your thoughts or when you are tired. You will always be my inspiration. Btw your FISH is lucky to have your love. Praying for you and supporting you in every way I can you will be better much better in six months from now.⭐️ for sure. We ❤️you
🤗 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏
Thank you for being you! Regardless of any changes that happen,I am thrilled to be a fan, a student, and a patron of yours. Wishing you great health, peace, and happiness.
You've got this Cinnamon 🌹❣️
Take good care of you
Have no fear my dear, I’m sure many others as well as myself look forward to seeing your vault lessons. Take time to heal. We love you!
I discovered your channel recently. I'm in awe and admiration of your honesty ❤ Thank you.
It's really a big change of mindset to put your health before the hustle (or what you'd call it). It's frustrating, but it helps so much in the long run. I had a mental breakdown 2,5 years ago, and now I can actually tolerate a bit of stress again. It gets better! It might not be the exact same as before, but it definitely gets better when you let your brain heal. I'm definitely rooting for you!
Thank you so much Cinnamon. You've described mental health challenges I've faced throughout my life.
A great quote I saw said people tend to say, "Don't just sit there, do something". When you're dealing with mental or physical health challenges, a much better motto is "Don't just do something, sit there".
We race around like it's life or death ... no ... sit, relax, breathe, reflect, renew, recover
💙💜
Take all the time you need. You are such a gift to everyone. You make art accessible to people who never thought they could be an artist. We will be here along your journey, cheering you on.
Cinnamon you are AWESOME! Your new lessons are great. Your archived lessons are sooo much fun to watch and try to paint along with you. I'm trying to paint your squirrel and Ive named mine Timmy!
You are the best and I wsnt you to take the time you need to heal. You are important to all of us out here in UTUBE land.❤
