This level of transparency is admirable
Admired, and also not owed to us…so thank you for your generosity Trixie!
Therapist here. I appreciate the vulnerability and highlighting the importance of mental health
Sure but a betterhelp sponsership? Zionist and past controversy wasn’t enough to not accept this brand offer?
@@lamelonlord1854google owns youtube and has had ties with israel. but here you are. can’t criticize others while you’re cherry picking.
I also deserve a break. Sis I read this level of pregnancy is admirable
I read an article on rest that said "rest is not a reward - it is a prerequisite for performance" and I only learned that in my 50s. So learning this in your 30s is great, seriously.
that's such an excellent way to frame it, thank you!!
Yes so true. We need to take care of ourselves to be able to do the things we want to do at the best of our abilities
@@user-ho4nh2tp2i the more we share knowledge with and help each other, the less time people will have to go without being able to learn these things; but at the end of the day I think it's more useful to take joy in people knowing it now rather than asking them why it took them so long
I learned that it was okay to live your best life for yourself in my late 50s. Unfortunately putting your self last is an extremely hard habit for you and the people in your life to break.
As someone who grew up poor as well and used to never say no to a gig, I see you. Listen to your body. Listen to the people around you. So glad you’re taking this break for yourself and we appreciate you speaking with us about a vulnerable moment. You’re an inspiration and you’re loved. See you after your break! Keep shining ✨
Again...your ability to free flow, non-stop, coherently speak to the camera is astounding.
Your intelligence & depth are what I admire most about you. Why I even watch your tutorials, or any other content. This video has to be my favourite thing you have done. The boy behind the lashes & overdrawn lips. The beautiful soul that you are.
Enjoy freedom & have such a wondrous time finding your peace & joy again🌈
When Trixie said "Growing poor is traumatic" I really felt that. Ant this is what we love the most about Trixie... Being a human, self aware and encouraging all the audience to work hard but not to death.
Same. Trixie was so real for saying that.
P S looking forward to the long beard ha ha ha . Flourish❤
Same
It's true. It molds your mental frame into deprivation mentality so strong that even when you're in abundance, you don't see it or trust it.
Tea. I feel like I’m aimlessly, tirelessly working myself up the corporate ladder because I have no other choice. That trauma runs deep.
Don’t plan your whole break. Give yourself a least a week or two of just staying at home, no alarm clocks, just watching tv, ordering food, going for a walk, etc just being bored at home. It’s important. Don’t do try to fill your whole break with trips or stuff to do or projects.
I think this is so true, but for me, I had to learn this lesson the hard way when I was recovering from my burnout. I also needed to fully schedule my "free time" (aka recovery time, but at first it feels like time off) in order to transition into an actual pause of that working mentality.
Yes boredom is honestly so healthy
@@niltjePagreed I had to learn the hard way too
I'm trying to take a break for the first time in years myself and this is such useful advice. I am so bad at not feeling like I need to do something that I start picking up fun projects just to feel productive, when really the days where I just spend the afternoon on my couch playing Animal Crossing and napping are the ones that really make me feel refreshed afterwards
This ^^. Planning your whole vacation to the nth degree will wind up feeling like you were on the clock and responsible to be places the same as if you were working and you'll wind up almost as burnt out as you started. Learned that from trying to pack vacations to the brim and at the end you need another vacation to get over the vacation. Just...............be, for a while
I saw the title and i said "FINALLY GIRL" out loud
I lost count of how many times I said “yeah” during this video. I’m a small business owner and run the place myself, so EVERYTHING you said is SO relatable and I’m happy and sad that we have this in common. Have so much fun and relaxing time on your break! So much love and admiration.
This
We don't want you using the Trixie persona to disassociate from life. You deserve to be a fulfilled person in your skin. Wishing you well on your hiatus 💙
This is so beautifully said!
This
@@GilaGone So much this!
Yes! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Trixie deserves a damn break after supplying us with entertainment for YEARS. Take that break boo, and take as long as you need.
Edit: I do not have a parasocial relationship with Trixie in the slightest. I have edited my comment as I have been educated to not use Trixies real name. It was a lack of knowledge on my part, but acting like I said it out of malice or with the belief that I personally know Trixie is insane.
Love this comment. ❤
yessss 🫶
Yup. We'll be here when you get back. Have an awesomely relaxing and restorative time off, my love. Just please don't forget to come back!
You better fight to get that pinned comment, girl
He looks so cute and I hope he has the best time.
Today at PSR we were talking about personal heroes. I picked you, Trixie. I picked you. Not just Trixie, all of you the whole person package. Brian Firkus. Your past, your integrity, your wit, your everything. I look up to you so much.
Much love to you Pink Mamma Trixie!
I’m a proud owner of an autoimmune disorder and managed to burn my self out a few years ago. It’s crazy, because the time it took me to burn out (maybe 7 years?) - it took me the same amount of time to put myself back together. I’m a totally different person in so many ways but I learnt the hard way that you cannot fool your body. You can trick your mind and all the people around you but your body always knows and it make you repay it. Please, please look after yourselves- Trixie and all you lovely souls. There’s lots to look forward to, but you need to be above ground to enjoy it ❤
I started watching UNnhh when I was 14. I’ll be 21 next month. I can’t even put to words how much Trixie meant to me as a child, and means to me as a woman. Hearing Brian, whom I’ve been so curious about for years, open up like this is a breath of fresh air. I’ve never felt so deeply proud of a stranger. Trixie Mattel is the American Dream.
🩷🩷🩷
I just did the math and I've been a Trixie fan for almost 10 years. Wild.
I think i started watching trixie during lockdown? First video was the brittany video or jinkx video, or kim chi korean food idk. Im 18 now..
@@ashlynnsomers yoooo same twinsiesss
I feel this so deeply, so well said. For years Trixie has helped me find myself. Its so deserved that Brian gets a break 🤍
You deserve a break. We don’t even need a reason but we appreciate the vulnerability
as someone who has been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis after years of suffering, it’s very validating to hear someone like you sharing bits of your experience and speaking out about advocating for yourself. i’m 21 and RA has forced me to learn a lot of the lessons you’re talking about. sending love
If you end up not coming back from your break I'd accept that. You've given the world a lot of beauty and laughs, enough for several lifetimes. Thank you Brian, and thank you Trixie
fr me too.
Agreed. I think she’ll always be creative and will make cool stuff, but the world isn’t owed any of it.
Literally I wouldn’t be upset at all with how much they’ve worked ❤
I just genuinely don’t see that happening. She has a lot of businesses to run that for require her to be hands on to a certain extent and due to the poverty mind set, she will want to accumulate more wealth while still sure it’s on the table. The deadline of 3m is something that she can use to tell herself “no you need to stay out of work” until it’s over and then when it’s over she can come back a bit more refreshed
She’s definitely coming back but I think it won’t be at the same level of content
I had a teacher in middle school who always said "I'll sleep when I'm dead" and he unfortunately passed a month after retiring... I loved him very much and this became a constant reminder that life and health is too precious and that sometimes even if it is difficult you have to say no to some opportunities and go to sleep...
damn that's dark to say to a class lol but rip
Very important message, you're doing a huge service to so many people by sharing it. Don't pack your vacation too full! You are loved and admired in and out of drag. Hope you extend the break as long as necessary for you to get the true, deep reset you are craving. Thank you for all you've given!
I nearly teared up during this. Seeing influencers and other media savvy folks embrace mental health so openly is beautiful. Trixie rest up and we ❤ you!
"Work yourself into an autoimmune disorder" ... as someone who struggles with Hashimotos, I 100% connect with this. It's rough. You don't feel well, then you feel guilty for not always feeling well, and then when you do feel well, you push to get as much as you possibly can get done and it immediately sets you back. It puts you in a cycle. Self care is so important, and not feeling guilty for taking care of yourself is just as important.
Edit: Y'all. I'm so glad everyone reading can relate. I'm saving this comment to come back and look at when I feel alone. Also, reddit has some great subs around all of these various conditions. That also helps me to remember that I'm not the only one and everyone is going through something. Take care of yourself and each other. ❤️
Why I quit dance, working myself into a hospital bed repeatedly before the age of 20 eventually made me realize I was probably too disabled to keep my career
same. i have sjogren's and it's rough
i have hashimoto's also, it's one of the most frustrating invisible issues i've dealt with
I have Type 1 Diabetes... I get it
Hugs! I’m autoimmune too! I have
Ulcerative colitis and was sooo stressed with life i ignored my health. It’s ok to take breaks!
My physiotherapist always says “try softer” bc I try harder to push through everything and sometimes it’s not the way. Enjoy your well-deserved rest. ❤
Try softer!!! I love this. ❤️
I'll try this way,thank you ! ❣️
GOLD
❤❤❤
This! I had a similar revelation during therapy to "pull" instead of "push". I.e., instead of keep pushing to "get/feel better", fighting against my brain and not getting anywhere, I can do the opposite - work *with* my brain, feel the feelings and make small changes now/when I'm ready - and it felt like a gamechanger.
I LOVE the idea of a “back to school,” “here’s how I spent my summer vacation” type of video!! Enjoy your rest ❤️
Girl, I am so proud of you grasping the concept of being one’s friend. I did that step recently too and am also proud of myself. Going to take a year out.
Take your break, heal and be happy! 🤗
I’ll miss you of course and others may too but i guess we want you preferably healthy and happy 🤷🏻♀️
🤗😘
A motto I’ve made for myself recently is “That’s not the serve you think it is”. Overworking everyday where you make great money but haven’t had a day off in years is not the serve you think it is.
I like calling it “it’s not a flex babes” too
@VVillle🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I’m gonna start using this.
@VVillle wow how dumb
@@carlyaskren359 I use "that's not something you should be proud of."
I actually screamed at my TV when Trixie started talking about ideas for this channel when she'll come back! It won't be a vacation if you are treating it like content for when you come back! We'll be fine! We love you and the best thing you can do is not think about what your fans want for the next three months (or however long)!
Agreed! I hope Brian can rest without thinking about ideas for his comeback. A simple catch up video is enough.
100% agree!
HE . Get it straight
Agreed! STOP IT! TAKE A BREAK!!!!
@@richcampbell6808Trixie said she’s alright with fans calling her she out of drag
Completely support this break. Today I quit a super stressful job, partly because I've developed a chronic stress condition and am mentally emotionally and physically exhausted. Really needed this today. It's important to take care of ourselves x
I'm so proud of you for taking the time to take care of yourself. I am also a workaholic for some of the very same reasons as yourself. I had the same realization about a year ago and completely melted down. Between therapy taking some time off and really consistently questioning each one of my activities to see if it serves me and some type of way I have been able to get myself in a better head space. I hope that you can do that for yourself as well
The comments make me cry. This community is a mirror image of what you've given us in all those years. We're so thankful. You're a lovely human being. See you again soon. ❤
I totally agree. This comment section has been such a breath of fresh air, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. This community is wonderful. ❤
Totally agree!
Stooooop that made me cry!!
Love this community so much!
If you go to Sitka, Alaska they have a bear sanctuary to rehab bears who get injured in the wild. It’s called Fortress of the Bear and it is such a fun place where you can go see the bears living their best lives while rehabbing. They’re so cute with each other- it’s literally a joyous place. Have a great break!
i don't think trixie is a bear though
@@Ylurple😂😂🤣
Love bears!
I thought you were recommending that she go to bear rehab to get better lol
@@hannahtrombly7070Idk about anyone else, but I feel like I could be healed in bear rehab 😂.
thank you Trixie
Oh sweetie, as one of your biggest fan & a therapist, I’ve always wondered if you ever do self care & time. I’m so happy you’re doing this & normalizing it for everyone that looks up to you. 💜💜💜
As a chronic illness girlie I learned the hard way that if you don’t take frequent breaks to prioritize your health, your body will FORCE you to take a LONG break that will not be enjoyable at all. Please allow yourself to completely rest too rather than trying to fill your whole sabbatical with travel and socializing, that will burn you out eventually as well ❤
As another chronic illness girlie I second the importance of utilizing all kinds of resting! Physical, mental, social, etc. All important!!
Same! Having a chronic illness is devastating but it teaches you valuable lessons as a young person.
My body is trying to do....something. I'm not sure what. Unfortunately, it's gotta take a number. 😮💨
I experienced this omg
Absolutely!
one of my favorite quotes is “You can do anything BUT not everything.” - David Allen
Thank you Trixie for everything & go take care of Brian. 💐
great quote
Excellent
yeah, I keep forgetting that.
TRIXIE! OMG! You reached into my soul with this one. I too have just put the makeup on and dissociated. We adore you and we want you to be the best you. Enjoy your break SO HARD ❤❤
Mad respect. Self care is not a joke and thank you for sharing.
This level of transparency and serenity is something we need to see more of. No music, no glitz and glamour. Just a human being expressing their feelings. All the best in your break, Trixie!!!
We love you and support you in whatever you need!!! I hope this break is everything you want it to be. We’ll be here when you come back!!!
We don't need "more" of anything. We can just support.
you’ve literally not even stopped since season 7 of drag race it’s more than warranted. I love you trixie you seriously have made my life so much fuller with your comedy.
That's actually kinda wild to think about. Non stop work since 2014. I'm surprised she didn't go on a break sooner!
This is so relatable. I have 2 jobs, I work 60+ hours a week, and I haven’t been able to take more than 4 days off in a row (like literally once a year) in almost 15 years. But I don’t have the privilege of “taking time for myself”, so I applaud you, Trixie. Love ya guurl.
Yeeeessss!!!! I am happy for you! DESERVED! ❤
If Trixie comes back, great.
If not, still great.
Thank You for your transparency
As a pro cosplayer, I reeeeallly felt it when you talked about how eerie it is to feel burned out and at your lowest and still have to put on a wig and make people laugh. I have been there! Take all the time you need - you more than deserve it!!
@VVilllejokes on u I don’t have a mom but u are a horrible human for cursing others
sorry i just had to say that i recognized your name and loved you on sourcefed!
Meg you helped me realize I was bisexual like over a decade ago. Thank you!
MEG!!! Love youu❤❤❤❤
I had a nervous breakdown at 35. I taught high school at a very challenging school and had no support system. I literally worked myself into a psychological melt down. I can’t tell you how happy I am you are taking this break for yourself. Enjoy!!❤❤❤
Hope you’re doing better now- sending love! :)✨
Teaching has become highly regarded as one of the most stressful jobs in the world, as a Music Ed major, my profs have integrated mental health into all our ed classes. Thats something that's been missing forever. I saw both my parents, who are educators, struggle with panic disorders and ulcers. It's awful. Wishing u the best xxx
@@pebbles5450that’s amazing to hear, I’m glad there’s being progress made in those aspects. Now if only we could fix the salary bs 😅
Sending love. I’m a teacher in Sydney Australia and I think it’s fair to say the education system globally is under so much pressure. People leaving the profession. I hope you’re finding some peace and balance ❤❤❤
Wow, this really resonated with me. I really failed to put myself and my health over work. You are so brave to be vulnerable. Enjoy your amazing break and keep whatever you want/need to yourself!!!
I REALLY needed to hear this. Always so grateful every time I am booked, can’t seem to say no whenever there’s money on the table. Forgot to take time to actually enjoy myself. Thank you for the reminder!!!
I don’t think Trixie realizes just how MUCH she’s given us over the years. Figuratively and literally. We have over 10 years worth of material from her to “hold us over” until she comes back. We’re not going anywhere. And if she’s given us all of that while being exhausted and stretched thin, imagine what she’ll give us when she’s at 100% again. I love her and I wish her the absolute best.
I have this quote at the top of my notes app so I see it every day- if you don't take care of your wellness, you'll be forced to take care of your illness. Wishing Brian and everyone in this comment section peace, contentment, and balance
I love that quote! Very eye opening
Just screenshot this. This is a great reminder for all of us.
Enjoy!
Ditto to you. 💕💕
Omg. Gonna sit horrified with this realization for the next two hours
I know i need to hear this but internalizing is going to take so much time. I know i need to stop. But the trauma response is so real. Its so real. The thought of not streaming just...crushes my soul. Because it feels like the only thing i do that makes me have any value at all.
I feel you so much. I'm currently off work with poor mental health and burnout is not to be underestimated! I feel like I've lost myself.
Ur only human Brian. Be kind to yourself and heal. We love you and will be here waiting for you, if you decide to return. Sending love ❤️
To the mastermind behind Trixie: Thank you Brian for all of your hard work! I love all the Trixie content and I hope this break brings you renewal and lots of rest! Please focus on yourself for all of your break!
didn't expect this to make me cry but imaging the feeling of taking that much weight of stress off yourself made me burst into tears- burnout is real.
Me too❤
You beautiful human. Your transparency is saving lives!
Enjoy your break bb!!!!❤
Girl don’t worry :) take your break!! you deserve it after everything and it’s super understandable that you don’t want to share everything in your life and we don’t expect you to 🫶🏻 the transperacy you give us is super admirable
enjoy yourself :)
My parents have pointed out to me that one of the struggles of being a “workaholic” is not knowing how to be alone with your own brain. That has totally changed my mindset about taking breaks because honestly learning how to take care of my own mind without constant distraction IS hard work. I have so much respect for Trixie talking through the importance of breaks, especially in the United States where there is so much pressure.
It hits different when your parents say something
I'm so glad you're on sabbatical. I took a year off in 2015, and it changed the whole trajectory of my life. Now I make sure I incorporate nice long breaks on a regular basis. This is the wave of the future that' also a blast from the past. Rest well. 💗
Heyyyy girl ! Queen of sabbatical herself 👑
Oh hey!
Love you and just want to give you a hug. Your presence will be missed, and we will be patiently awaiting your return.
So we can hear all about it girl!
Be safe.
Travel light.
Enjoy
I was just thinking about you today and then see this video. I am SO happy to hear that you’re taking a break and taking care of yourself and your well being. We love you! ❤
The Katya shade about working every 4 months during her heartfelt mental health talk is chef’s kiss perfection. If when she isn’t trying to be, she’s Always in brand. Love her. We’ll be here when she comes back rested and refreshed ❤
Ain't no shade stop being messy
@@CorneliousBrackens-ye1hl shade can also be said with love. shade isn't inherently malicious.
@@CorneliousBrackens-ye1hl in an obvious loving way, don't get it twisted
I love that Trixie mentions Katya several times.
As someone who just worked 8 last-minute notice cover shifts in the past two weeks, I really needed to listen to this. Thank you for reminding me to advocate and help myself when I need to.
Please take care, love. ❤
My advice is to turn off notifications on your days off and just straight up ignore them! I basically never accept calls from my workplace because I hate being pressured into covering for people and thats the only reason they've ever called on a day off lol.
absolutely, take the break!!! take the rest and recharge and handle you, precious you. looking forward to guest stars!! love you and my hubs loved Trixie Motel and Drag Me Home!!
I feel you. I ignored those stress pangs and it led to a big burnout that led to a 3-year recovery period. I’m grateful for the time, I learned my lesson. I’m glad you’re taking this step of self-care ❤
As a person who has been struggling with burn-out for almost a year now, I recognised the feeling. All these years you have been taking care of Trixie, but now it is time to take care of Brian! Brian is more important than anything else! I am wishing you an amazing time! Take care of yourself! ❤️❤️
He wasn't taking care of Trixie . Listen carefully
Beautifully said❤
❤❤ as a kindergarten teacher who had severe postpartum depression I felt the putting on a wig and making people laugh comment so much. Having to choke back pain and make sure a class of little people are ok is the worst, I feel you Trixie xx Have a gorgeous break xxx
YES. I had the same reaction. I'm a pre-k teacher who had to surpress the grief and depression of losing both my parents in a very short window of time. So much so that I also triggered an autoimmune disease, so that's fun.
I also really felt the comment about how being able to just "switch it on" can scare you. Like how are we able to so easily compartmentalize that depression so easily?
I'm so relieved to know he's going take the time to concentrate on being well. We love you Trixie. ❤❤
Coming back with a different look or persona or not drag could be so fierce too I'm just excited to see you, whatever you do
Get it girl! Enjoy your summer. Hopefully I will get to see you at Palm Springs pride later this year after you are all refreshed!
i feel like a baby seeing her dad w/ facial hair for the first time like who is that?! Take care of yourself trixie, we'll miss you but you deserve this time to enjoy the wonderful life you've built!
TRULY LIKE WHO IS THIS BIG TOUGH GUY
I’m so sorry that you have been suffering. You give us so much for literally FREE. Please rest, recuperate, laugh, heal.
New subscriber after watching Trixie motel show. Thank you for educating me, that was something totally new and unexpected to me. But the most important, I really enjoyed getting to know you. You are so so nice person! I hope you rest and recover well. Looking forward seeing you again in autumn, whatever you decide to be and do.
Have a very relaxing and fun break! You deserve it. This was helpful for me to watch, as I'm at that breaking point as a business owner. I have what I want, I should be blazing happy, but I'm sad, and it's the stress. You take care of you, and thanks for all the work you put into a career that makes all of us smile!
As a retired professional performer & educator, I can absolutely state that if you don't take breaks your body will take them whether you want to or not. Pace yourself out there!
The emotion in his voice is very raw. I've actually wondered in the past just how tf he does all this, because it's insanity. It's a VERY hard thing to learn and then ACCEPT that REST IS PRODUCTIVE! We become programmed to live in survival mode, and our culture teaches us that rest is lazy, which is a lie. Flat lie. Proud of you for stripping yourself down and learning that rest is productive. ❤❤ Enjoy the time off. We have LOTS of content to revisit when we miss you!
thank you for this Brian. The lack of music made your message all the more powerful. I really needed to hear someone be this candid :)
Thank you, Brian, for your honesty and everything you contributed. It was truly a lot! Enjoy your well-deserved and restful break and reconnect with your friends and family! And yourself!😀
TRIXIE!!! Embracing the “what if it was your best friend crying like this, what if it was your best friend … but it’s me” LITERALLY saved my life when I was younger. I’m so glad you said that and really put it in perspective for all your followers ❤️ take your time babe and enjoy life
Let Trixie take a nap so Brian can enjoy himself. Also, LOVE the facial hair. So handsome.
Love this 😊
Wishing Brian a lot of naps as well! They are the best!!!
Trixie has made it clear that “Brian” is a name for family, not for fans. This is weird.
@@catsandcelery I think they wrote it to sound poetic and isn't speaking directly to Trixie. It's fine for a youtube comments section...
@@shawnde1it really isn’t tho, if trixie had outwardly say they don’t want it be called it, it’s almost like deadnaming
love you sister enjoy your break!!! thank you for being pure love and joy!!!
Yes we want those return videos! We love you Trixie! Have an amazing - much needed - rejuvenating break 💕 If you’ve never been - this BC girl highly recommends visiting Tofino on Vancouver Island for an escape. Every trip I’ve ever had there has felt so deeply relaxing and magical.
As a therapist I can hear the change in his voice and the emotions held back. So glad to see someone taking the time to take care of themselves. Enjoy your 3 months, we'll be here when you get back!
Honestly I love a recap PowerPoint!
I had a GF get married and say “omg I want to take you out to dinner as a thank you” and I said “if I have to dress up and go to another event with you I’m going to cry, I’d rather have take out, sit in PJs and see all the photos from your honeymoon.” And it was the best thing ever.
This is so important. Yes, take care of you! 💖 You’ve built an empire so quickly. From the outside, I have been like wow. How are they doing such much?! It is such a blessing having those friends and family who are able to get you to stop and just take a breath and just consider how you’re actually feeling. I have been there as a Burlesque performer. Crying inside, slapping on the face and the wig. Having the thing you love turn into a chore. Enjoy your break, blessings! Hope you find a safer, healthier, enjoyable balance. 💅🏾💖
Sending so much love. you deserve all the breaks wishing you the best an health an happiness.
i recently quit my job that i was working for nonstop for almost 6 years, i was suffering tremendously with my mental health.. driving home crying, my migraines became so severe i was losing my hair from the stress, i finally spoke to my family about it and they encouraged me to quit and they will support me with what i need. I am so grateful for given this moment to self reflect on who i am and how to take better care of myself. I am so happy for you Trixie, you're going to feel so amazing during your break! We will miss you!
Best of health to you!
As someone who has worked herself into a serious autoimmune disorder and several hospitalisations, and 20 years in still struggles to take a day off cause what if opportunities dry out, this is so important. Go, heal, we’ll be here when and in whatever shape you choose to come back 💕
I was crying by the middle of this video. Here is this mega star and it felt like sitting down having a heart to heart with my best friend. I'm really glad you are taking this time for yourself and I hope you have all of the fun, rest and relaxation! ❤ you Trixie!
We will be here for you when you get back! I hope your reset is sucessful and non-stressful. 🥰
This is a “drink your juice, Shelby” moment. There are just times when you need to take care of you and, the hardest part, is letting those who love you surround you with the care and support you need. I am sure I and thousands of others will miss Trixie- but know that we’ll continue to love and support you in gratitude for all the joy and laughter you brought into our lives. Hugs & prayers! ❤
Steel Magnolias 🫶🏻
No one should EVER have to apologize for taking a break and taking care of themselves. Your own mental health is more important than videos for us❤️
Absolutely! I truly care about them as a person and want them okay!!
You are EXTRAORDINARY, lots of love whatever you decide to do, take care of yourself first ❤❤❤
Thank you for all that you do. I'm glad that you were taking some time for you. Also, I would love to see silky nutmeg ganache on here 😍
My dearest Trixie (because only your mother and your lover call you Brian), as someone who is also an '89 baby, with intergenerational trauma, grown up underprivileged, with longterm depression, an autoimmune disorder, I FEEL YOU! "Putting on a wig and forgetting about reality " is the exact reason I went to theatre school. I was also recently diagnosed as neurodivergent. Congratulations! You are human. You deserve to enjoy you as much as the world gets to enjoy you. You deserve to experience you the same way the world experiences you. You deserve to receive the same love and care from you that others get to receive from you. I would highly recommend you explore your Indigenous heritage. Seek out some elders, and listen to them. Participate in some of your community 's traditions and ceremonies. Seek out other communities if you'd like. Connect with nature. I promise you will not regret it! I will continue to be sending you (and everyone else) all my love throughout the next 3 months. I look forward to hear all about your experiences! All my love, E ❤❤❤❤❤
You and Katya have helped me tremendously with my mental health, it's so important to take care of yours too. We can wait, enjoy your time off
You’re such a gift 🎁 thank you for taking care of yourself, this world needs a happy and healthy you 💖
Gurl u been with me through it all.. before i got addicted, when i was addicted & watching unhhh & now I'm sober finally! You deserve everything you worked for but you sure do deserve a BREAK so overdue! Love from Kuwait 🥳
Speaking as a therapist and fan, thank you for making this video. Your message and honesty will help many people who struggle to slow down and take care of themselves. Enjoy your adventures!
I feel like early thirties is the age when things like these really hit you to make you stop... I'm seeing it on all of us . I used to have the same attitude that you talk about about in regards to work and touring and etc , working a corporate job and at the same time building an international career as a VJ, and these few months I'm slowly recovering from burn out and I've been diagnosed with glaucoma. Some friends of the same age group including my bf have it worse, having been diagnosed with autoimmune diseases on top of the burn out. It's no joke, your body very clearly tells you to stop. I hope we all find balance and joy in our lifetimessss . ♥️♥️♥️
This is comforting; I had a full burnout 6 months ago that I'm trying to recover from so it's at least nice I'm not just failing
so happy for you! been following and relating to a lot and recently i realized i need a break , it is so important. take as long as you need. thank you for all your hard work
So well said.. and life is exactly this.. proud of you!
I don’t even need a why, none of us do. Trixie does so damn much, and I’m so grateful for it. Also, I’m like… girl please take a long vacation.
“You cannot reply on people around you, who make money off you or watch you perform or work with you, it is not their job to tell when it’s time to take a break. Bc that day will never come”
SCHEDULING THE 3 WEEKS OF PTO I ACCUMULATED TOMORROW MORNING ~THAT WAS THE EXISTENTIAL CONFIRMATION I NEEDED. THANK U, U BEAUTIFUL, BALD BADDIE. XOXO
Have a great detox! Truly, you deserve it
We LOVED your SPD set in Vancouver in June for Pride! Thank you for sharing such an honest and personal part of your experiences and life. You deserve to rest, reflect, and enjoy your life after giving so much joy, love and laughter to the world! Taking a proper break to travel with friends, chill with family, and step back from social media sounds perfect. I hope you get to fill your cup and reset your body and mind, so you can find a new baseline that is healthy for you. Sharing these personal things is brave but it will help other people so much. Sending ALL the LOVE and ENJOY your time off.
SPD? Am I derpy? Cuz I'm thinking Sensory Processing Disorder. My son has it.
Ohh myyyy please come to Seattle!!!! It would be so fun!
The amount he works is insane. If anyone deserves a break it’s him. At this point it’s necessary. I think a lot of people know how grateful he is for the opportunities drag has helped him attain but he constantly put his work life first. Happy break Trixie.
