YouTube and Depression

So I struggle with Anxiety and Depression and it makes me discouraged to make videos sometimes like my effort won't matter. Does anyone have any advice for me? I love doing YouTube videos, but it gets in the way.
 
Do whatever you're comfortable with doing. If you're doing a video every day, and want to slow down to 1 a week to de-stress, you can do that. Just make sure your subscribers knows.

Is YouTube your full time job?

while i don't suffer from those things. i can see why it would affect you in those ways. i think making those videos could really help. i have seen it many times on youtube someone that was depressed or anxious using youtube as an outlet and they have benefited hugely from it. making new friends. becoming more positive about themselves and gaining confidence. keep making those videos and you will reap the rewards. i have an idea

YOUTUBERS ESSEMBLE! get your butts over to missy's channel and give her some words of encouragement, do it, do it now :)
 
I understand where you are coming from. The biggest thing to remember is that YT is a grind. Its won't be easy and takes effort. Whenever I'm discouraged I look at my sub count and tell myself i'm better off then with no subs and no channel. I got this far, how awful would i feel if i gave up. Keep your head up, always work on improving, and keep on grinding.
 
I know the feeling. I loose alot of motivation to make videos depending on how I'm feeling. I'm currently trying to get back into all the editing etc. We will see how it goes. I'd get support off any close friends you may have that support your channel.
 
Thank you all so much! Your comments have made me feel a little better today and that means a lot. Thank you for those who checked out my channel and commented <3 I'm gonna keep working my dream to become a Youtuber. Depression is a tricky thing and it's nice to know I'm not alone in all this. Y'all are the best. I hope to hear from y'all in the future and maybe become friends :]

Do it at your own pace! Let people know how you feel, and your subs will support you!
 
I am 100% in the same way. I was making videos ever other day for a week.. and this past week I haven't got anything up. Depression is crazy. I need 1 just 1 person to get on me and push me in the right direction ever day. And I'll do the same with them..

I hope you feel better and start getting some awesome content cranking out again.
