Hi everyone,

I'm still recovering from the allergy complications. It's been an infuriatingly long process with very slow progress, and it's still ongoing. A lot of questions I'm still trying to get answers on from the various doctors about the best way to move forward. I appreciate all the well wishes, and I'm doing my best to get back to normal.

I don't want to go too far down the personal life rabbit hole, but this whole situation has been really tough mentally as well. and continues to be. I take a lot of comfort in structure, and one of the places of structure in my life nowadays is the channel. I say all of that because I'll be releasing some more audios soon, and I want to be clear about the fact that that isn't me not prioritizing my health, it's just the opposite. I need some normalcy back amidst all this. This is an area where I actually have some answers and some control, and I need that right about now. But I also don't want to just get back into the swing of things and act like we're back on a normal schedule without any context, because unfortunately, I'm not back to normal yet. But I'm working on it as best I can, resting and recovering as best I'm able, and honestly, having a place to focus all the mental chaos that goes along with this confusion and frustration is a part of that process.

So, short version: I'm all right, but the problems are ongoing. Some audios are coming fairly soon, because I need to get my mind off this shit, and making them helps with that. Thank you guys for your kind words and for your patience. I appreciate it (and you) very much.

- Erik

It’s okay! Take your time and I hope you feel better soon! I know making audios helps you get back into things and makes them normal, but try not to push yourself too hard for them, okay? :3 Hope you feel better soon! 💞

Ammy

I felt this immensely-- I also tend to create to get my mind of physical or mental uh...unwellness. In any event it's great to hear you're recovering and I hope the process gets smoother and faster so you don't gotta deal with it anymore. ♥︎

SunnyScripts

Thank you for the update, and we all hope you can get back to normal order and structure and health soon 💌

I’m glad you’re mostly okay! I’m also glad that this channel makes you happy because you make so many people happy with your work. Please know that this community you’ve built only wants the best for you physically and mentally. Take care💛

konkrete

Really glad you're okay!<3

Manda

As someone who battles various health issues and faces the same issue it’s 100% tough and extremely exhausting when you’re whole Sense of normalcy gets thrown off especially if it’s what keeps you “sane” in a sense! I hope you get answers soon!

Mimble

You're a workaholic, sir. /j But far be it for any of us to say you're doing the whole relaxing thing wrong. Distraction is just as good a form of relaxation as any. I hope you get the answers you're looking for soon, too. Medical shit is such a pain in the ass.

ScarlettNIndigo

Anything that helps you the best! Glad to hear from you and hope you make full recovery soon, cause being sick sucks.

EmilysMovingCastle

Sending you good vibes Erik!!! I hope you feel better soon 💕✨

Hot Dog

It’s good to hear from you and I’m sorry this is ongoing! I’m sure it can be frustrating when people assume that you’re pushing yourself too hard, when you’re ultimately an adult who can manage your life and schedule. But obviously people just want to get across that we don’t just see you as a dopamine machine that cranks out videos for us.

Litlkim

Thank you for letting us know 💜 You’ve been on everyone’s mind. We trust you to do what’s best for you. Take care of yourself, whatever that looks like until you’re 100%.

Eevee S

Take your mental health days, if not your body will tell you and force you to rest. 🫂 don't worry, as always your work is worth the wait. Xoxo

Carmilla Dragyns

Please, take all the time you need to heal, Erik! All we ask is that you're happy and healthy!

riathepinkie

I hope releasing/working on audios as you are able aids in the healing process and sending you all the Health Luck in getting to the bottom of all this

I'm so sorry you still feel unwell. Allergies in Texas suck so bad, I hope you start feeling better soon. The structure will come back, don't worry.

~MAC~

I hope things get better Erik, I'm wishing you well and I hope you recover soon!! <3 <3 <3

Siren

If it's specifically a Sulfa allergy, it takes about a week to, like, show signs? symptoms? However you wanna word it, y'know, like, hives and all that,, oh so fun jazz. It can take up to about two weeks to clear, that's how mine went but, everybody's different with allergies, so as bad as it sounds, expect the longer time range to either be right or pleasantly surprised, as I like to say lmao. But anyway ! I hope your recovery goes smoothly! Allergies suck so much, but you got this! Kick its ass!

Ice Palace Art

I feel you, health issues have been kicking my ass lately too. Just glad to hear from you and I send my best wishes!

Caroluus

Thank you for the update. I'm glad you're prioritizing your health but I'm sorry it's such a long process. I'm hoping you recover without issue and some sense of normalcy is returned for you. It's been a rough few months. We are very aware that you're capable of making the best decisions for yourself and I understand that urge to keep a sense of control and normal through upheaval. I hope things get better for you soon ❤️

Loup

Hey Erik, I'm sorry to hear that this all has been dragging on. As someone who also relies on some semblance of structure to function I know how shitty it is to have something suddenly toss a wrench in all that, and even more-so when it's a health related issue. It's definitely good that you're getting a chance to rest though, and as far as content goes, whatever you feel called to make and/or release, we'll support you the entire way, 100%. Whatever helps bring some peace and calm to your life! I'm wishing you a speedy recovery dude- I hope you feel better soon! 🫂

MoonCharmed

i'm glad you're doing alright, erik! i've been thinking about you and wondering how you were so i'm glad to hear that ♥️ hopefully you'll be able to get some answers soon and get back to normalcy. it's awful when such a wrench is thrown at you. sending you all my love and well wishes!!

Calico

Many hugs, Erik, hope u feel better soon <33

sera(tonin)

sending all my well wishes, erik! do what makes YOU feel the best, we’ll support whatever that ends up being :)

Spiny Dogfish

So happy to hear you're doing okay. Please try to take it easy and do what's best for your health, mental and physical alike. Thanks for updating us too, and I'm wishing this is resolved for you soon!

Empress Arcana

You’ve got this under control. I believe you’re doing everything possible for your recovery and I can only imagine how difficult it must be, especially not being able to put your time in the things you love. I do hope you obtain the answers needed from the doctors, sooner than later. Keeping you in my thoughts, Erik. You’ve got this!

Shana

Thanks for the update and glad that you're at least on the road to recovery. It's understandable to want that normalcy, and I hope it helps you get to a better place mentally. Do what you feel is best for you and we'll still stand behind you, like you have for us when we needed it! I hope things continue to get better for you as time progresses and looking forward to when you next post!

Nightshade1217

Glad that your feeling a bit better and if you feel well enough to work we won't force you to stop do right by you hope to hear back soon

lotus

glad you're feeling better!! i appreciate the update and i'm happy to hear that youre taking steps to help your mental health and get back onto your schedule (as an OCD haver i understand the need for rituals and schedules and how difficult it can be to fall out of them) :] i look forward to hear you again!

Hannah

Thanks for the update! Glad to see you’re doing at least a little better. These past few months have been absolutely crazy, but you’ve been so amazing throughout all of it. Take care of yourself, find that sense of normal-ness again, and do what’s best for you. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we’re here supporting you every step of the way. Sending all the good vibes and energy your way! ❤️❤️❤️

Nyriis

Progress is good. Hopefully it snowballs into more, faster moving progress soon. Balancing physical health and mental health can be tough, but I'm glad you're taking steps where you can. That we benefit from that is just icing on the cake. Feel better soon!!

Rinzler

I'm so sorry that this whole thing is causing you so much stress. I'm so glad to hear that you're ok though. Hoping nothing but the best for you and a speedy recovery. You know what's best for you and we're here to support you however your healing looks. Lots of love and well wishes!!

SM Relix

I hope you feel better soon!! I'm super glad you're feeling at least a little better! And always remember, we'll be here to support (and...listen, if you'll pardon the pun) Sendin' all the good vibes and wishes!! ✨️✨️✨️

Haz

Thanks for the update sorry to hear it’s been a slow long process but glad to hear you are doing alright. You know what’s best for you an what you need to do right now that you are taking your time and if getting back to the content helps making even just a little bit of a difference for you then it’s good. Take care and hope you are feeling even more better very soon.

malika.

Glad that you're able to find some escapism through working on your videos, hope it provides some heavy duty solace mentally while you recover. I hope you have a bunch of other sources of solace too and that you get some helpful (!) answers from doctors soon. I hope Life Things™ get a lot kinder to you soon.

ReplayCamera2 Chloe

I’m glad the channel can be some sense of normalcy and a life raft for you as it has been for so many of us as well. Take care, I hope this medical crud gets squared away soon.

Helios Flame

Hope things get better for you soon!

Rachel_Maybe

Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself where you can, even if the medical stuff is frustrating. I hope you're able to get some solid answers/solutions soon, and can get feeling better. 💛 Sending good vibes your way!

Malory

Don’t push it too far Erik. Even though I can’t wait for the audios, I still hope your health gets better first before content. Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water make sure to eat.

Sonlove 17

Hopefully this is all over soon and you feel better the ever❤️

Delimira.Audio

Antibiotics suck! I’m severely allergic to one and understand that feeling of wanting answers. Hopefully you get only good ones from your doctors soon. I’m hoping that you have a quick and easy recovery and do what is best for you. Sending lots of healing love and hugs your way and take care of yourself.🫂❤️

Rhonda

Sometimes it's the things that require hard work and focus (like creating) that give us the stability and grounding we need in the storm. Makes perfect sense. :-) Thinking of you and wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.

Angelixia

Oof I can relate to the allergies and yep, they suck. Hope everything gets sorted out soon! And take your time with all the stuff that's happening, we'll be here patiently waiting! 🥰

Anna Ricci

highkeymika

i relate first hand to how infuriatingly slow medical stuff can be , especially things like this :( finding your own ways of coping is incredibly important , so i'm glad the channel can be that for you ! do whatever is best for you , we'll always be here cheering you on ! <3

GHOSTLYTOASTY

Thank you for the update and so sorry things have been so rough lately. Sometimes all we can do is be still in the storm. Do whatever you feel is best for you, and just know we’ll support you no matter what! 💕

Stephanie Bush

Hopefully it'll clear up soon for you! Thank you for all the hard work! You can kick the allergy's ass! ❤️

StrayDryad

Hope you've been doing alright despite everything going on and that you can find the answers you're looking for. I'm all too familiar with the medical stuff and know how exhausting/frustrating it can be. Thank you for the update, sending positivity your way <3

Geena

i totally get that, it can truly be a pain in the ass so i wish you the best on your way to recovery and normality! i hope you're feeling better soon but until then, take care, remember to drink lots of water and kick this allergy's ass <3

Hoping you get answers soon!

take your TIME man!!!!

ICY

Take the break if you need it 💚 your mental health is important

grxy

i’m glad that you’re feeling better i’m just sorry that you’re not 100% yet, i understand completely how frustrating that can be. needing structure and normalcy is absolutely understandable and hopefully when life starts to feel a bit normal again you’ll start to feel better. i hope things start to clear up soon, both your allergy and answers to what your allergy is. you’re amazing and thank you, erik

Angel’s Wings

Hopefully you’re able to get the answers you’ve been waiting on soon! Being sick is never fun especially when you get left in the dark on it.. I also hope focusing on videos and stuff let’s you both disconnect from that stress and work as a positive distraction on the way to feeling yourself again ☺️ Much love and remember to go at your own pace 💜💙

Origene

Totally get that. Sending all the healing vibes your way 💛🫂

Green Blue

I totally get needing a place full of things you can control

SebCastellanYES

You gotta do what’s necessary in order to cope. You have so much presence and influence that people around the world are worried and sending well-wishes to a random dude in wherever-you-are (Arizona? Idk) We all hope you recover 100% but meanwhile we’ll be standing by. Take care.

♆ Kyle ⚓ Oceanvs ♆

I’m sorry Erik that really sucks, one of the scariest things is having something go wrong with your health and the time it takes for the doctors to figure out what to do. I’m glad you have a method of escapism, it sounds like that’s just what you need right now. I hope you get the answers you need soon and are able to make a speedy recovery. We’re all here for you Erik, and once you’re all recovered you should take that break you talked about taking before all this happened. Sending love and healing energy 💙

Valfjet05

Take you time and take care of yourself.,You deserve it.

BeepbeepLettuce

Do what you have to do to help yourself navigate and manage this chaotic healing process. We’ll be here cheering you on regardless of what that process may look like, Mr. Redacted

Susanna

Alex Hamilton

I hope you can figure things out soon. Many good vibes for health and answers

RainyDay

I hope you get some answers and can have some comfort and stability back in your life soon 💚💚 Thank you for the updates also, I think if I were in your place I'd be face-down on my bed in the dark and completely disappearing off the internet for at least two weeks 😅 youre doing amazing and we appreciate everything you do so much

Lilian 726

Regularity, rest and routine are the 3 major things that can do wonders to one's mental and physical health. It's what my dad always tells me and it's good you're trying to keep a hold of those things while also making sure you're the number 1 priority. I'm glad to see your situation is improving, and I hope it keeps improving so you can get back into the swing of things soon. 😊

Birdybell

You know yourself well enough to know what you need, so yeah, do what makes you feel better. Taking care of yourself isn't just physical, after all. I wish you a speedy recovery and all the good health wishes!

EmSterling93

Love you, Erik ❤️ Sending love and hugs!

Morleygirl

I hope you find some answers and balance soon. Hang in there ❤️❤️❤️

Cinnamon Sugar

So soooo glad to hear from you. It’s truly not our right to know anything about your personal life, so I absolutely acknowledge the privilege you show us by letting us in on what goes on with you. From a Creator perspective I know that you don’t know us the way that we feel we know you. From a fan perspective I think we all feel invested in you in a personal sort of way. It’s a testament to the realism and care you put into your work. It’s hard not to think of you as someone we know closely. With that in mind, I’m incredibly relieved that you are on the mend, though it be slower than anyone would like. I’m selfishly glad that making content helps make you feel better, and equally pleased FOR you that you’ve got something within your control to help you feel…at least mentally better. Know that we’re pulling for you. And while we love the You that you let us see from the outside peering in, it’s love and care nonetheless and I hope you truly feel that. Get well soon Erik, when you’re hurting, we’re hurting. ♥️

Evangeline

Oh Erik! Sending you all my healing energy physical and mental and hoping you feel better soon 💜💜

Asher

Hey man, you're totally valid. Sometimes laying around being sick makes you feel worse about being sick. As long as you're doing right by you, that's what matters! Wishing you health and better luck, because man. I don't have much but you could sure use a little.

Char

Thanks for the update Erik. This all must be incredibly frustrating for you. I hope things get better soon, until then keep taking care of yourself.

Keara

Ah man this must really suck for you. I am glad your getting some time off though you give us so much and deserve as much rest as you need. We’ll wait for you

ChocolateMama

I hope things get easier for you. We’re all here for you, and thank you for the update 💛

Mira

Man that sucks- I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with that on top of everything mentally too. I hope the days to come are kinder and gentler and that the symptoms ease up soon!🤍 thank you for doing what you need to get better- whether that’s resting or knowing yourself enough to know that doing videos brings you that rest and control. Do whatever you need and we’ll be here to support!

Ash Rempel

You are awesome! And we all appreciate you. Wishing good health for you, physical and mental!

Megan

This universe journey that you have created is definitely a life line for you and your community. However, I hope you find a balance at you own pace. ❤✌

StephOS7

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Wishing you the best and looking forwards to whatever you put out next. Thanks for keeping us looped.

Peppermintzzz

Gosh I’m so sorry Erik! I’ve been there with the whole slow medical process, it can be awful. I’m sending you lots of virtual hugs, it’s been a rough few months but you’ve been taking it all in stride. Take care 💓

Emma JW

Thank you for the update. I’m so sorry you are dealing with this! Finding answers to an ongoing medical problem is so tough. Sending you love, light and all the healing vibes. ❤️

Sunshine515

Medical issues suck. I hope you can find answers soon. I'm glad this gives you something fun to focus on and enjoy in the midst of the health issues. That's as important as resting. Looking forward to what's to come, as always.

Audrey

Best wishes! 💙 thanks for all you do for us!

Rogha

God that sucks. I hope one day our medical knowledge gets to a place where this stuff doesn't happen anymore. I look forward to the new videos and sending some well wishes to getting better. However that looks for you.

not Vanessa

do what you gotta do! sending positivity ❤️

Nikki 5¢

I send all my best wishes and appreciation to you!! I’m glad the channel itself provides that normalcy. I’m sure it hasn’t been easy sailing but we are here supporting you. I hope all is well. And thank you for everything. Keep looking after yourself 💙

just a pebble in a pond

It suddenly makes sense that all of Erik's characters are workaholics/j I hope you recover soon. I know what it's like to feel awful all time and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, much less someone I look up to and respect. You know yourself best so do what ya gotta do.

MissRaptor

I hope you get to feeling better very soon, my dude. I’m sure it’s been said a trillion times, but don’t push yourself—we aren’t going anywhere.

Victoria C.

Erik, I completely understand your frustrations and I’m sorry your recovery from everything is dragging ☹️ If creating for your channel provides you a distraction and an outlet and helps you in other ways then absolutely use it! It’s important to nourish the mind and spirit when the body needs time to heal. I think everyone here just doesn’t want you to place unnecessary deadlines/pressures on yourself, so we ask that you pace yourself, take a break when you need one without feeling there are expectations from us. We enjoy your work immensely and so many have benefited from it in a number of ways and we find ourselves wanting to give back to you in any small way and the only way we can easily do that is to keep telling you “scrap the schedule -take care of yourself - we’ll be here.” ❤️

Lovely Deviant Alyssa

It's so great to hear from you, Erik! 💜 But of course, I'm so sorry that the facets of this recovery, and solutions to those issues, are coming at such a slow pace. I have no doubt that such an uncertain process must be unbelievably frustrating. I'm so sorry you've been struggling with all of this 😔 As someone who has also dealt with long-term, chronic health issues myself, (often with inconclusive explanation,) I truly do empathize with that situation. And I completely understand what you mean, with finding comfort in structure, and in keeping your mind creatively occupied. Sometimes, the relief of distraction, and shifting focus to things that are creative or fun... That can be an incredibly important part of boosting personal morale, and supporting overall convalescence. You phrased it perfectly, in saying that, continuing to make audios IS a vital method of prioritizing your health! That totally makes sense 💖 So, you should absolutely do whatever works best for you, in whatever method and timeframe serves you best. As many others have already said: Do whatever is most comfortable for you. There's no pressure or expectation here. Take all the time you need, with anything and everything. We will all be extremely happy for any updates, previews, audios released, etc., regardless of any schedule or schedule changes 😄 We all wholeheartedly trust and support you. You of course know what's best, both for yourself, and for everything you've got going on. And we'll be enthusiastically cheering you on, through and through! 💖 Thank you you so much for sharing this update! And thank you so much, for all you do. I hope you feel better very soon! I'm sending lots of warm wishes and good vibes your way! 🫂💖 We appreciate you so much, as well. Always 💜 And I hope you have a great time, in your return to making adios!!! 😄 I can't wait to see what's ahead! I know it will be fantastic, in every way.
