    Your consistency is not the problem, uploading faster or having more views neither. Is that you're not happy, it's that you're ill and you have to start with you! Don't blame yourself and you are very rude towards you, you have to be your friend and actually be kinder to your self, you got this!

    I can relate to a lot of things you've said, and I'm sure others can too. It's good to talk about these things. My catchphrase these past few months has been "I can't kill myself because I won't be able to see the next Spider-man movie, listen to that new album, play that new game, see that band live that I got tickets to". When you talk about talking down on yourself, that hit hard for me. I find my own thoughts to be my biggest bully.

      You know, I tell myself that as well. "I won't kill myself because I want to see (fill in the blank) when it gets released". It might be a shitty way to find a reason to continue living, but it's still a reason. And then along the way, the depressed episode eventually ends and I start feeling like myself again. Only problem is when the depression comes back, learning to tell yourself that you've been through it before, and you just have to ride it out until the depressed feeling goes away.

    I think a lot of people can relate to your story. As a fellow depression and anxiety sufferer, I know what's it like to feel like you're making excuses for failing to do things most normal people can. Some days it's as simple as telling yourself you need to get your shit together and just doing the thing you're avoiding. The bitterest pill you have to swallow is realising you are the one holding you back and only you have the power to change things. That's not to say don't be more gentle with yourself. Think about all you've accomplished with work etc, also remember we are all in a state of confusion atm due to Covid. Having a wacky sleeping pattern isn't that bad or unique now (at least I hope it's not lol). Still, I would say establishing a proper sleep, eating and exercise routine is the best way forward long term. Also, stop comparing yourself to others. That's always been a major source of my misery too.

      Thanks for the advice. The biggest thing I've noticed is I have to upload more regularly. The reason why there's so many people that get so many subscribers and views on CZcams in a fraction of the time I've been on CZcams is because they are consistent and I'm not. I'm gonna make a bigger effort starting tonight to make myself record more videos. CZcams tells me you're a subscriber of mine, thanks for following me it means a lot! Make sure you turn the bell on next to the subscribe button so you'll know when I make a new video.

    Dude you are awesome. You make great videos. Would love to see more guitar videos or gaming or whatever you’d like to upload bro. I’ve been dealing with anxiety as well recently and it sucks bro it really does. But just keep going with the CZcams vids and twitch. I’m so sorry you are dealing with anxiety and depression that combo is very tough. Try and incorporate music you like to listen to and maybe go for a walk I know you said you don’t like the outdoors but maybe just give it a try. Look forward to your next video.

      Thanks for the advice. I think the biggest thing holding me back is not being consistent with uploading on CZcams. Most of the people that get tons of followers very quickly upload all the time. And sometimes I have to get out of my own way and just make a routine of making videos, even when I don't feel like it. I think that would help a lot. My biggest obstacle right now is simply making myself do it.

    In case it might help: After all, humor is one of the great anti-depressants. How about reaction videos to songs that might make you laugh? Suggestions:
    Frank Zappa - Jazz Discharge Party Hats
    Denis Leary - The Downtrodden Song
    Nicolas Slonimsky - Children Cry For Castoria

    I know how it feels to struggle with depression and anxiety. My life hasn't turned out how I wanted it to either. The only thing that makes it tolerable is Jesus and my children have grown up to be good people. My son is 2 years younger than you and he struggles to make friends because of autism. I feel bad for both you and him. He has never had a girlfriend either. I will pray for you. You seem like a nice guy. Maybe try to find a good church to try. There are a few good ones that are accepting of everyone. Hang in there.

    Hey Stranger 🙂
    I found you trough one of your reaction Videos. Hearing you stuggling with the actual Situation touched me. I barely write comments, especially not in any other language than my native one. But I felt like you would, maybe, like the though of not being as meaningless as you think you are. I personally think in both of your topics (yt as well as Meeting New people) its maybe time to think about new approaches.
    Maybe you gain more reach by uploading Videos more often? Maybe you could try and do cooperations with other ytubers? Maybe its more effektive to get to know people via Internet and Meeting afterwards with them. Maybe in your region there are interest groups or societys, where you can join?
    I hope, i did not disturb you and also sorry for my english🙈
    Take care!

      Thanks for the advice. The only way I can talk to others for now since I have no income and no car, is I just use public Discord servers. Sometimes, it's just mean trolls but other times I get to talk to some great people on there.

    when are you gonna tell urself that enough is fkn enough. the dialogue that you have with urself is terrible and you think too much. DO something bro. this comment is not to be rude or anything but i hate to see a human being beating themselves up when plenty of people get off their ass and make a change. you can do the same because fundamentally, there is no difference between you and another person, we are all human. what separates a 'top tier' human and low life is that they make a step forward every damn day. you gotta get after it every single day. thats the only way to get out of this rut because the world is unforgiving and competitive. unfortunately in this world, if u are not competitive, you will have a shitty life. so, its fuck how you feel even when u feel like shit or when u fuck up; it doesn't matter, you must do what you have to do REGARDLESS of ur feelings.

    no one ever becomes famous on youtube with the goal of trying to be famous. everyone started out doing what they love with a camera in front of them. judging by the state of this channel you don’t have the passion for this. i doubt you even really know what you want to do with your life.
