    Why I’m Moving out of my NYC SoHo Apartment. In this video I chronicle the 9 apartments I have lived in during my 8 years in New York City. I go over the reasons why I am choosing to downsize from my SoHo loft. This is a bit of a life update video and the most candid I've spoken on this channel in a few years. Let me know if you want to see an apartment hunting vlog or more day in the life videos in the coming weeks!

Thank you for being strong and admitting that you’re not perfect and struggle with depression issues as well. There is not alot of people like you on CZcams and I really appreciate how genuine you are and honest you are in all of your videos. I wish you all the luck because you really do deserve it!

    Depression is a monster that whispers in your ear and tears you down. i, too, took forever to get a shrink, but i am so glad i did. Life on a good day is rough and this past year has shown that we are all in this together. there is no shame in asking for help, so hopefully this video will resonate with a fan or fans who needs to hear this.

    Purely focussing on the building : I only watched the walkthrough last night and despite the hidden storage I thought it was just a giant empty hall with far too much headroom (heating costs) - when the tiny bedroom was revealed I was stunned you’d put up with it.
    I’d never even seen you before yesterday so can’t comment on the mental health elements but admire you being able to talk about it.

    Thank you for talking so honestly about this. As someone supporting loved ones with issues such as these and subsequently becoming someone who reluctantly admitted that had also had succumbed to depression as a consequence I appreciate how important it is to talk to someone. For me it was a Dr at the end of a phone line. Being there for someone is so important.... equally allowing someone to be there for you is even more so.

    Erik I literally just started watching your vids tonight. And early in the morning. Starting with the Miami penthouse tour, then smallest apartment, then your move-in Soho loft tour. Finally your move out and had to hit pause after you opened up and completely blew my mind. No one is doing this. Your authenticity and integrity as a man went from boss status to Thai Chi Master. I am going through the exact same process of not wanting the help that should probably get for my mental health. Thank you 🙏 for your vulnerability and courage. I literally woke up when you started talking about your mental health. You are very entertaining to watch. But you are even more genuine after what you just did. The trust and defeatist conundrum you must have been going through. Anywho…I really respect what you did. And you have hopefully inspired me to take the next step. I just don’t think I could get people a 10% discount after my breakdown. Which is just an unprecedented hustle in the midst of your lowest point. Unreal and mind-blown props to you kind sir.

    Well done for being brave and sharing and also for helping to reduce the stigma and taboo associated with mental health. Particularly as men are pressured not to show emotions. We really enjoy your vlogs and you are completely awesome. 🥰

    I've been toying with therapy again. I have bipolar disorder and have fallen into a depressive rut. Zero motivation. Which I recognize the symptoms now. I used to drink a ton and wasn't aware I had bipolar disorder. Got help and a psychiatrist. I quit drinking nearly 5 years ago. Kudos to you for taking the plunge for better mental health.

It's so amazing to hear people, especially guys, talking about mental health bc honestly, it's something we ALL deal with, whether it affects us a lot or affects us a little.

    It's very brave to talk about Mental Health. I went through the exact same situation as you. I didn't want to talk to anyone either because of the stigma. I tried to commit suicide in 2003 and ofcourse had to move forward. I had lost everything but over time with the help of Therapists, Drs etc. I was able to rebuild. I still have my difficult days but having positive, understand People by your side really helps. Thank you so much for talking about your struggles. I hope you are doing better.

    Oh Eric! I’m so sorry you’ve been hit by the insidious illness called Depression. I stumbled across your videos and I’m so glad I did. You’re certainly blessed to have such an awesome dog in your life, Theo is gorgeous. I was put into a Nursing Home by my Son and abandoned, I discovered that I’m not the only Mother in this place who suffers with Depression, sadly it’s quite common in Aged Care. I’m one of the younger residents and I have a hard time making friends as many are in their Eighties and tend to pass away to soon. I have a great Therapist and I hope you keep up with the great things in life.

    This is such a great video and this really hit home. I have dealt with depression before and I didn’t know how to get through it. We are all human and we sometimes need help getting in the right headspace. I will look into this for sure. Sometimes i just need to talk to someone that will not judge me. We have had a tough year in 2020 and i am just recovering. I channeled my depression into working out and being active. Thanks Erik! Also give Theo a hug for me. I just love him.

    Thanks for being open about your battle with depression. With the death of CZcamsr Lee MacMillan, who died last week after a lengthy battle with depression, its important now more than ever that depression and anxiety be discussed. We all know CZcams is a little cutthroat and its very demanding. The toll it takes on its content creators is immense and many CZcamsrs have struggled but so few have discussed it, so thank you. I am glad you are getting help and that you are doing better. You have such a cheery disposition and I look forward to seeing your future videos. :)

    I am thankful you got the help you needed. It's helpful that you are speaking about this. It's funny how humans make assumptions about people through the externals. I had thought you were happy. No one can guess another's struggle just from a few minutes of video content. I wished you peace and happiness a few moments ago when I viewed your previous video. And that still holds true. I will add though that I also wish you the guidance you need when difficulties arise. So much still ahead of you to learn,enjoy and love.

    It hurts, but the loneliness you can experience while being in a relationship is WAY worse than being actually alone. And if one of the two experiences this, it has to end for the better of both.
    Experience is a cruel teacher: it asks you questions first, then it explains to you the lesson. You’ll be a different person. The pain never really goes away, it becomes part of who you are. But it’s not a bad thing, even if it seems the contrary. You’ll need some years to understand this.
