Hi everyone. :) I'm back. And I want to talk about something personal, but so, so important: mental health.
Recently, I made the difficult decision to leave RU-vid for a while to take care of myself and my mental health, and to brainstorm (and start implementing) some exciting channel changes. And during this time away from my channel, I realized how important it is to me to raise awareness for "taboo" topics--specifically like trauma and mental illness. Not only do I believe that it's important to live vulnerably, out in the open (kicking that trauma shame, anyone?), but I also wanted to let those who do relate know that they're not alone. And for those who don't relate, this video is for you, too, because it's a real, inside look at what my life is like as a creator with PTSD--and it's very possible that you know someone who relates.
So I hope you enjoy this honest look at my life, and I hope it helps you understand why things that seem easy--like making videos on a consistent schedule--can be more difficult for me and for those who experience difficulties similar to mine. Thank you all for your patience with me as I take care of myself. As the airlines say so very eloquently: put your own mask on first. I encourage you all to take care of yourself in whatever way you need (including taking a long break from stressful things--no matter how rewarding they are or how much you want to resist the rest).
More storytelling content to come next week. Until then, happy trails!
