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! ❤️🙏
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
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! 🤩
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!
Thank you for trusting us with your journey. Thank you for sharing.
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. ❤
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!
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
Prayers for you and the healing to help you feel like you again. God bless you🙏🏻
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 ❤️🕊❤️
Take care of yourself. Thats always important. Keep us updated, and don't worry about needing to take time for yourself. We'll always be here.
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❤

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! ❤❤❤❤❤
Take Your time!!! We all have issues!! None of us are without our problems!!!!
You are wonderful and have so many lessons!!! Good Lordy we could go for 10 years and not get them all :) xoxox
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 ❤
It takes so much work keeping the body and mind healthy. ❤❤
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!
Blessings to you dear, John and your family. Stepping out of the dark into the light can be blinding. Keep those shades on and the lights dim until you're ready to come out nearly fully. You are worthwhile and a wonderful woman - we are all perfectly imperfect and you are loved. You're taking care of us still - take more care of yourself. Thank you for sharing and for being your unique self.
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 ❤
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
Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest during this time ❤ this is such a wonderful community, I know all of us are over the moon that you’re being so compassionate and kind to yourself right now. I’m beyond grateful to hear/read so many stories from everyone, and to know that this is a true safe place and a place that vehemently advocates for prioritizing mental health. I look forward to live paintings, but I’m so happy to wait until you’re ready and you feel ready to come back, regardless of how long it may be!
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 have given so much of yourself to others.... time to give some of yourself back to you....self care is health care ❤
Love you Cinnamon. Take time to heal. You’ll come out great! And thanks for your update!
I don't think I could ever get through all of your videos :) Thank you for listening to yourself. Healing takes time and it can be hard to remember or believe that things will change or get better. But they can and do. We are here with you 💟
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.
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.
Do what you need do…and can do! You are so loved❤❤❤❤
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 ❤
A greater variety of activity is good for everyone. Your body will thank you for resting more, and your joints may last longer. Keep slowing down even when you're further along in your recovery.
Hello Cinnamon. Take care of yourself. We are with you. Love you.
Take your time Cinnamon honey, we ae all here to support you, no matter what. Prayers for our and your family. God Bless from Montreal.
❤you for many years- you have touched my heart and inspired me - and still in your rest - you are an inspiration - thank you for sharing- I’ve been searching for older lessons and rewatching and learn - praying 🙏 for your healing journey 👩🎨💕👍❤️
You are being so strong I really admire you for going forward in your
Journey keep being positive and taking care of yourself 😊
You are doing good Sherpa. I send my heartfelt love to you. Thanks for all you do for me.
Listening to your story and efforts is a reminder that we all need to look after our own situations! Remembering to keep your mind in balance and seek help when needed is an important lesson for us all! We all move through different levels of energy and activity, learning to take self care seriously is so very important. Your words help myself to remember that having a down or slower day on the creative side is okay! I know that when we did the Abstracts, a couple of those raised a bit of discomfort for me. I needed to wait until the "energy" allowed me to go there!
We all love you and are thankful that you are sharing your healing journey with us. I am still struggling with depression and anxiety due to an attack by some dogs so I can relate to your struggles. We find the strength within in times like this. Know that you have a lot of people walking alongside you.❤
Thank you for sharing your health journey with us. You are so brave and so inspirational. God Bless you! Prayers lifted up to you.
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 .
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.
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.
Sending strength, compassion and friendship
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.
Wow Cinnamon how awesome are you ❤❤❤, it takes bravery to be open about your mental health, I completely understand where you’re coming from I have been there and understand that you need to take little steps and do little things that bring you joy. We will always be there supporting you, we love you and don’t plan on going anywhere you are a mentor to so many. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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! ❤
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
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.
Cinnamon you are so brave to share all of this.
Your tutorials helped me during my time of depression. You are in my heart and in my prayers.❤
Cinnamon. you are in my prayers. I am on meds after cancer which cause me to go into a fog and my focus is way off. hearing you, has totally helped me. THANK YOU
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!!!!
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.
I loved your work and your personality for many years. I've been watching you for a long, very long time. I have saved almost every painting session you have never painted and published on CZcams. I want cinnamon back. The happy-go-lucky cinnamon! You have a lot of people that love you, especially John, and you have all of us. I'm not going anywhere, and I think I can speak on behalf of everyone here that we're not going anywhere. I know I will be here watching the last video until God calls me home
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.
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've got this Cinnamon 🌹❣️
Take good care of you
I am three years into recovering from a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. It hurts my heart to see anyone else have to go through something like that, but I related so much to so many of the things you said, especially that painting is very tiring on a healing brain. But the great thing about being a creative Gen Xer is we don't give up and we apply that creativity to problem solving. I know you will continue find creative solutions as you go through your recovery. Also, crochet, if you keep it simple, is great for resetting your brain, calming it down, and regaining focus. I had to take a couple years off from it, but I am at a point where I have been able to pick it up again and it has been wonderful to have that outlet again. Wishing you all joy, peace, and art. :)
First you teach me how to art and now your teaching me how that relates to my mental health ❤
You are loved ❤
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.
I’m praying for you and a full recovery. I have depression and am now knitting daily . I have also taught myself to crochet thanks to CZcams. It helps me get out of my thoughts and feel productive. I paint a couple times a week , but I do have to be in the mood. Painting is my passion but knitting is my therapy. I hope you do try crochet. There are some wonderful people in the knitting and crocheting CZcams . ❤️community.
It is a wonderful thing, depression gave me lucidity at some point.... And to respect my Self, in every way ❤
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, CZcams 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!! ❤
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!
My son is on the same journey as you..he was stepped down to a PHP program today…he has just gotten out of a manic episode that has lasted 2months, 1 hospital and 2 programs later…I can’t tell you how helpful you videos have helped your family…please take care of yourself…we love you!!❤
Cinnamon, so glad you’re doing everything you can to care for yourself. You and your health are top priority at this time. We, your “art family” will be here. I wonder if doing some abstract live tutorials would be easier on you…something that didn’t require doing a painting that is “structured.” You could just be creative, and “chill”…and just chat. You wouldn’t need to plan ahead, or give direction. Maybe this would allow you to reserve your energy for healing.
This is just a thought.
We all want what’s best for YOU!
Always remember, we follow you not only for the art, but for YOU.
YOU are important to us ❤
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.❤
You are loved..continue to heal and be at peace…
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:)
So true about Gen-Xers. It can be hard to feel successful if I don’t think I put enough effort into something. Thank you for sharing your journey with us Cinnamon. Sending love to you. I love shorter videos. They’re new to me. 🥰
❤️❤️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.😊
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
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 sharing your journey! So glad to hear things are going in a positive direction!
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 ♥️
Wishing you Well and sending Love and Good Energy your way ❣
Thank you soooo much for sharing. I have no meds but I suffered a horrible attack, by so called friends. It really took the last 4 years of my life. I could not even open my mail for 2 years. Getting up and dressed and making my self eat was all I could do. You have my prayers. I am pouring out my soul in the paintings I am able to do. I found you when you were starting. You made it so clear and fun. I have 1 friend rejected by all family so I thank God you have suppirt. With love❤❤❤❤❤ Susan.
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.
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 for sharing. Do you know that the short lessons are the ones I reach for when I’m having a bad day? A bite size painting that doesn’t stress me out and is short enough that I feel like I can complete it and not get overwhelmed. It is like a little “win” during a bad day. So you’re telling us that it’s hard for you to make long videos during healing, while short videos are healing to me when I’m facing hard times physically or emotionally.
Thanks for being so transparent during your healing journey. It’s been so helpful to hear your words. You’re so brave to put it out there and so uplifting for others going through similar things. Keep up your good work in healing, and there are plenty of videos we can all go back and watch. You are amazing.
I think I found a group that is full of love. I will keep ypu in my prayers. 😅
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!
Your kind spirit and passion for art has taught me so much. I always give a like, but I am usually not one to post a comment, but I want to tell you what an inspiration you have been to me personally. I found your videos years ago and have done many of your tutorials, so many that during the covid pandemic I took a stack of them and donated them to our local nursing home during Christmas 2020. (Of course crediting the original art design to our Art Sherpa) We shared your beautiful designs with those that probably really needed it during the time. I never did get to go in, but I know in my heart it brightened their spirit the way you do so many.
Cinnamon you MUST always put YOURSELF first. Your journey back to a healthy place must feel overwhelming especially with your livelihood attached to it. I’m very aware of what you are going through and your bravery in sharing it with us. Those of us who ‘see’ you will be here whenever and in whatever way you are able to offer. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and holding you in my heart ❤️
Cinnamon, it's okay...we are walking with you...as long as it takes. ❤
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 ❤
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 ♥
I have delt with anxiety/depression my whole life. But now with Lupus it's hard to think straight. Painting is my peaceful place 'when I am able'. As you speak I can relate...
Take care of you. We'll be here for you
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.
Thanks for the update, I appreciate you and all you have taught me, just do what you need to do, there are lots and lots of videos/pictures to paint. I have lots on my list to do that are already there. You will get back to you, but as you said, you need to do it in a healthful way, we don't get to the bottom in an instant and we don't return that way either. Just take your time and learn your lesson well. Love you!
You are brave and your explanations about what you are going through is going to help many other people. Take the time that you need, you have been so generous with your time and creativity, we can wait. I have been on a lot of your lives but don't normally make a comment. One thing that has helped me is diamond painting, when I get in a slump I diamond paint, clear my mind, listen to a book or just let my mind be still as I concentrate on placing the diamonds. Big hugs to you.
Love you even more!! ❤❤ You are amazing, strong and beautiful!!
I've been working on stuff I missed over the years. It's giving me time to really catch up. Their is plenty to work on
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.
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 ❤❤
I hope your team is advising to take time to get used to the medication you are on. A very real problem can occur with switching meds in mid trial. This happened to my nephew a few times. Too many switches in too short a timeframe. Please give yourself space to heal at your own pace and get to know your limits.
I can remember many years ago when I decided to start painting and you were the first person I watched and learned from. Loved your wild hats and funky jewellery. You were so amazing and still are. And then I discovered your mother. She has also put herself under a heavy load and I hope she will be careful with her well being as well.
Thank you for sharing your healing journey with us.
Sending oodles of positive vibes your way! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
