I am super depressed and withdrawing from my antidepressants, contractually obligated to post two videos this much but trying to get any artistic ideas out of me for the last month has been trying to squeeze water from a rock. I am trying to get better and then experience artistic gains unparalleled by any artist since da vinci. How are y'all doing, can I tide you over with any videos of me rambling about hot button issues etc? I am totally willing to do random one takes and put them on here.

I would prefer if you took care of your mental health. As an "investor" in your creative output, I'd like you to make sure you are able to create long term. So like, I don't know, a video of you silently doing a coloring book page would make me happy

Fuck the contract. Seasonal depression is real, and Seattle is hella dark this time of year. Bitch ass sun wasn’t up til almost 8 and set before 5. What kind of shit is that even?

Rose Ma

I encourage you to move! After 40 years in Seattle and 20+ years of SAD I moved to a sunnier climate and have ZERO regrets. Make a plan for 18 months out and go for it!

hey ro, i dunno what type or 'quality' of video you would want to make out of this so i will not say one, but i'd be really interested in your opinions on the phenomenon of people hating mf who get back from traveling and learning new cultures and having their perspectives changed from that. maybe it's just me but i see heaps of media about how annoying it is and stuff. maybe it's just because i've personally been privilaged enough to travel to a bunch of places during my childhood with my single mum and siblings so i've never been on the untraveled side of things but I dunno. also if it's interesting to you it could be cool to talk about international travel in general from a leftist perspective

To answer your end-of-video question: when I'm depressed I light a candle in my living room. It's super simple which makes it doable. And sometimes I call my friend Amiee.

Make sure you take time for yourself! We are happy with any and all content you put out! ❤️

I’m so sorry i know anti depressant withdrawal can be the absolute worst. I hope it starts to lessen soon 💗💗

rhiannon salt

Also I super support the one takes and whatever feels the most accessible! 💗

Liv

feel free to just vent here if you need. try not to be too hard on yourself, no one can be creative all of the time!

Are you withdrawing on purpose or unable to get them? Withdraw from antidepressants is honestly the worst and when I ran out of mine and my insurance got messed up a few years back, I couldn’t afford my medication for 3 weeks and went cold turkey. Do not recommend. If you’re going off of them on purpose, see if you can get a tapered dosage for a bit. If it’s not on purpose, is there anyway we can support you? Depression is the absolute worst and I hate to see anyone deal with it. And as far as content goes, you do what makes you happy, I will literally watch anything you make. It’s all gold. Even if you made a 10 minute long video of you just staring at the wall, I’d still watch it. If it’s a contractual obligation, just make something nonsensical. If you’re just saying it is because of us, ITS OKAYY!! Take a break!!! We don’t always need these videos! You gotta take time for yourself!

Take care of yourself first. I hope in the future creators feel comfortable making content in seasons, rather than constantly. Constant overwork isn't sustainable, especially artistic work.

Micah Callari

I'd totally be okay with rambly videos or anything else you want to make. it sucks that you're going through shit rn, hope it can end up better in the end!!

Kale Cob

I echo all the positive sentiment that other folks are saying on here. Super duper important to take care of oneself first, but also I see and understand the value in wanting to push through artistically. Have you heard of chainsaw man? I just finished reading it and that's pretty cool lol. I don't know, if you'd be willing to speak on how TikTok affects your mental health; I saw your take in Mia Cole's video. Though it might feel overrepresented as a sentiment, your specific take I would still find value in hearing

Chelsea Nielsen

Also, don’t overwork yourself to a point where you hate making art 😓 I do video/photo for my day job at a digital marketing firm and it’s sucked all of the creativity and desire to create out of me and I’d do anything to get it back 😓

alex the tired queer

my brain is empty so i don't have requests/suggestions but i always watch everything u put out so just do whatever works for u !! sending u all the love in the world, been there. fun fact if u commit a federal crime it makes ur depression go away! it's a life hack the fbi is covering up (/j for legal reasons)

Fargo_vicious

Ramble posts on hot button issues etc would be cool

laterbabes

hopefully everything is okay with your prescription. med changes/withdraw can be brutal. it’s hard, but progress is never linear and creativity is never constant. finding motivation to create art when being a human is already difficult enough is draining. but you are human, against all odds, life goes on, and there’s always a peak after a valley. remember that we’re always here to listen if you need it and help where we can. we’ll be here when you’re ready 💓

Ariana J Murphy

I totally understand I am in the same place. I don't have any suggestions but I send all the positivity I can muster for you. Take gentle care with yourself!

To The Solarium

My hearts with you!! My brain has been pretty mean lately too, so whatever you make I’ll be happy. Unless you’re like “hello, I’m evil now” and not in like, the sexy queer way. So- really impossible. Lots of love to you!! Wish there was more that we could do but 💛💛💛 yah

Amir

don’t worry ro you’re good 👍🏾 take care of yourself and use this time to rest

Emory Layfield

I know it may not mean much but I hope you are doing ok and taking it easy, your videos bring me a lot of genuine joy and I sincerely wish that you can get everything you want and need

littlecourage

Take care 💜 please ramble on anything that's easiest for you during this time. I'm always hoping for the creators I follow to make any content discussing Teal Swan and her potentially dangerous mental health teachings/cult like inner circle, but I know that's probably not a quick one. Honestly you should just talk about something you like and are interested in. If you can't pinpoint anything that's bringing you joy right now, talk about a toy you were obsessed with as a kid or a past hyper fixation. Keep it light if that's what is best for you.

Drifter

Stay safe and take care of yourself. If you need to put out content via contractual obligations, by all means, just ramble about something for 10 minutes or something. Game the system. Get that shmoney. Kidnap their dog if you have to.

i am also very depressed atm. <3 no pressure to provide us with anything
