Losing My Motivation

Nathan Williams said:
You will be surprised!!! there are a lot of people out there who would love for you to share your depression experience. I'm planning on creating a anxiety/panic attack and depression video out soon sharing my story. Always share your experiences because it will make someone feel like they're not the only one.

I don't know, I think maybe that makes sense for one video, but since I have a regular boring 9-to-5 and don't do anything particularly interesting (that I can safely and legally film - emergency services carries too much risk to myself and others to film that stuff) my life doesn't have much content that I can put out on a regular basis. That's why I'd rather do a talk show, but such a production takes an immense amount of resources.

Yeah I understand what you mean. I hope your depression goes soon and if you need someone to talk to I'm here :)
 
It can be tough to keep going for me at times, but I look at where I'm at now versus where I was say a year or two ago, and I tell myself that I have made progress in terms of viewers and subscribers who will talk to you and say what they think. And that keeps me going despite not being where I want to be with YouTube, Twitch, etc.
 
if youve only gotten 15 subscribers since last year id recommend completely re-evaluating your channel.check the quality of your content. how often are you uploading? are you staying on subject in your videos. id suggest checking out some bigger channels and compare yours to theirs. Note things their channel has or is doing. and LAST OF ALL KEEP UPLOADING. If you stop uploading theres a 100% chance your channel will fail.
 
If you feel no motivation then take a break. No sense in pushing yourself more when it's not working. Take a month away and come back with new ideas. You might be better for it

Thank you :) I've tried to stick to my weekly schedule of uploading every Sunday and I haven't missed one since I took a break earlier in the year which is a good thing I think :)

Hey, that's amazing! Even if it doesn't feel like it right now, you'll soon be able to look back and be proud of yourself for sticking to something you enjoy, even during the hardest times. That's a great achievement.
 
I kinda have a long term view to my channel. I want to know what'll be there in two to three years. I'm willing to put in the hard work so low periods don't discourage me all that much.
 
I just always think of how life is ending suuuuppppperrrr duuupppppeeerrr soon and how it just seems like yesterday that I was graduating from high school and now it's today. And before you know it it'll be the day when I'm on my death bd and I don't want to die knowing I didn't try my absolute best in doing what it is that I know in my heart that I love. Even though at times it seems like it is making no headway. I just feel that this is what is right. Keep on trying your best man and the results will come. The time when we are closest to succeeding is right when we are about to quit. Not quitting and sticking it out is what makes you a champion :)
