      JoJo 33 Mental health issues can effect anyone. ANYONE. Doesn’t matter what your income is or if you are doing the job you love. You can’t control depression, stress or anxiety. Especially depression since it’s a chemical imbalance. Nothing to do with your lifestyle. Stop being such a nasty cow and live your life how you want but don’t bring others down doing so.

    I’m glad more creators are talking about their struggles and their mental health. There is a lot that goes down when the camera goes off. Being a TH-camr is often over glamorized in an unhealthy way.

    Your mental health always comes first. That doesn't go just for you, Elle, but anyone reading this. We're youtubers as well, and the pressure can be unreal sometimes. There's absolutely _nothing_ wrong with stepping back and really making sure you're giving yourself a chance to breathe, get help if you need it, and reach out to your supportive networks. Mental health _is_ health. And when your health isn't there, it's really, really difficult to claw your way out of it. You got this Elle. ❤️

    I had never heard of you before today. Just by watching this one video, I can tell that you're amazing. When I was 22 I fulfilled my lifelong dream and when you achieve that it's an amazing feeling, but then it settles in. "What do I do next? I've achieved my dream already." I asked this to a stranger on a plane and she gave me the dumbest, simplest advice - "Find a new dream" . She was right. I've lived so many dreams it's hard for me to fathom. Things that would blow the mind of high school me. I think you make great videos and I think that TH-cam is better for having you. I hope you'll continue to do it because I can tell that you inspire people and make them happy. One of the greatest feelings is to know that you make a person's day better, even if just for a moment. Those are my favorite comments on videos. I hope you're well soon. Take all the time you need, TH-cam will always be here.

      Is that her problem though? She DID ask what to do when you achieve your dream so young, but she didn't go into it; mostly she's talking about your run-of-the-mills TH-cam-burnout stuff. Pressure, anxiety, depression...Not so much that she achieved her dream but the shit that comes with the kind of dream she had.
      After disappearing from TH-cam at around age 18 and 100k subs, Pupinia eventually claimed that she couldn't handle the attention, and that it takes a special person to be able to. This Elle girl definitely has the talent and personality for this; she's not average at all. But even she couldn't handle it. That says something pretty despairing about this as a career.

    I feel like this is a common thread amongst TH-camrs/freelancers. "Oh you get to work from home, how lucky" Yeah I'm alone basically all the time and I hate it. "Oh you get to work whenever you want" Yeah, so I have to actually motivate myself to do work or else I can't make a living. There's all these negatives which can cripple you if you feel forced to hide them away for the sake of a crafted persona/vibe. The best thing to do is this and just be open about it, because tons of people have these problems to varying degrees. Mentally it's like a breath of fresh air and can result in friends reaching out in a way you wouldn't expect. Fuck professionalism, that's just a word synonymous to being dead inside. Everyone just needs to be real.

      This is not true, I was deeply depressed most of my high school years, I tried to find happiness in a man, had kids, and now I’m headed for a divorce after he left me for another girl. A part of me feels like that depression wants to creep back in, it wants me to not care, to give up on my dreams and blessings. I reencountered God though, he told me my worth was not to be found in any man, any profession, my appearance, etc etc. Our worth is found in him who gave us life, his word says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made! He gives peace to the anxious and joy/comfort to the broken-hearted.

      Linda Ramirez nah but for example I would panic and it’s hard to describe the feeling but you’re always down, sad, negative thoughts and just become so unproductive and not movitated to do even things you’d normally love. But sometimes... and I know it’s different for anyone, if you can get out of it and look back at what was really happening you’ll feel that what you went through could be small compared to other situations. Everyone has to remember that they ain’t the only going through what they are going through. Sorry for the vague message it’s just that it can get deep. Silly was probably not the best word to use.

    Awesome sauce. Depression is a life long struggle and it never goes away. The key is to learn to cope with it and do the things that make you happy and if youtube is becoming too much then you should probably give it up. And I don’t mean that in a negative context but if it’s effecting your mental health then you need to cut out the venom before it takes over. I hope you find happiness in your life.

    I'm no psychiatrist, but I'm pretty sure the reason you're so unhappy is that you're not getting any feedback. You're just speaking into a camera. There's no facial expressions to read as you see their reactions to what you're saying, there's no voice other than yours to break the monotony and there's no new information coming in from another person to get a fresh point of view. It's just you talking to yourself and don't get me wrong, everybody needs some alone time every now and then, but human beings are not supposed to be alone constantly and talking into your camera or just staring at your phone reading a text is not going to fulfill the need for human contact and when you're making a video, the people who are watching. They're not friends they're fans, so you're not having a casual conversation. You're on a stage, acting for the crowd, waiting for them to criticize your performance as they boo or cheer and that's where the anxiety comes in as you wait to see which way it goes. Believe it or not, acting takes a lot of energy and will slowly wear you down over time. TH-cam is just a job, do not let your entire life revolve around it.

But inside my head is a very different picture. Inside my head I am overwhelmed with shame and guilt for all the ways I fail them. I am toxic and will make them miserable. They are better off without me.
    How delusional is that?!!
    But THAT is mental illness. We are not choosing those thoughts. We can't snap out if it. We aren't looking for attention.
    It is the lonliest, most unforgiving illness one can have....because you feel no one can help.
    It is the good times, when there are no stresses and worries, that I know I am ill. Because I have every reason to be joyous, but I'm lost in a dark cloud of hoplessness in my mind. That is not a choice.
    I have no advice to give. Except we are all alone in our struggles, no matter who stands by you. You have to love yourself. Figure out how to do that the best you can and daily struggle from there.
    If someone reading this suffers from mental illness.....I'm so sorry. It's just not fair. You don't deserve to suffer like this. You are as valuable as anyone. The Universe loves you unconditional.❤❤❤

      Juelz906 I'm sorry to hear that. You have so many struggles and it's not fair. They are learning new things all the time and one day you won't have to suffer. Discovering interesting things with probiotics and our guts. Google it, you may get inspired. Hang tough. Remembee this: just cus you don't fit the mould of what society expects, doesn't mean you are any less unique and valuable.❤

    Achieving your dreams is not what makes you happy, it’s the journey to getting there.

    Love your channel Elle. I know all too well battling depression and anxiety. It comes in waves of hopelessness and a emptyness. Even at my proudest moments I find myself crying on the inside. You are stronger than you know. Talking to anyone who will listen helps. A quote I go by is
    "The devil whispered in my ear, 'You are not strong enough for the storm.' Today I whispered in the devil's ear, 'I am the storm.'" love you Elle and everything you do.
