It's ok not to be ok. The one positive thing about it is that you will find out who your real friends are. You will be surprised how many people you thought you had on your side are not what you thought they were. However on the other hand, people who you thought were not on your side will go out of their way to help you. I hope you find peace my friend.
Just two simple words….Thank you. T ✌🏻
I'm glad you made this video, Daniel. I took a break around Christmas time. I didn't upload for about a month. I still enjoy creating but my problem is money. I have a day job and I have the opportunity to possibly make a lot of money selling life insurance. But I really wanna make money thru creating content. But I'm not yet. So I'm just kinda confused of what direction I wanna go to bring in more income.
Thanks Daniel 4 being so Open,, Really needed this Today.. :)
You hit the nail on the head, The last 4 years have been the same for me the creative side takes a hit after and life just throws the last stone and the window finally breaks and you get hit after hit then you're finally almost a ground powder- but as a phoenix, you finally get the chance to take a step back, take a deep breath and say we are all human and we all have feeling and face the problems the biggest fail is asking for that help either from a friend, family member or vent to a random person to see that we are but two people with the same life issues and the only escape we have is to be creative with our minds so that we don't get lost in a whole dark place and don't just exist - we share our thoughts and we let our content be an escape to the millions of people struggling silently, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars! you are loved/ cared for AND we are HERE!
A lot of UA-camrs are depressed. But they don't talk about it. That is the issue so thank you for doing this.
Believe it or not you risk losing subscribers when you talk about it 🤷♂️
@@Mongolicious Because they are not REAL friends.
@@Mongolicious Facts. I had to some family off. It's so sad.
Thank you for this. I lost my mom 2 weeks ago, and I find it nearly impossible to get any creative juices flowing. I’ve already taken some significant time away to take care of her and the thought of returning to creating content is so daunting and frightening.
I totally feel that. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope you find a way back to creating content because I really do think it can be therapeutic. Sending all positive vibes your way ❤️
My mom left us in August last year. I got home about 45 minutes before she went on her next journey…. Make sure you have a a few good cry’s and a good barbaric yawp. Those are important. Content does not need to be perfect, just authentic! God Bless you and your family. Here is a pile of positive waves for you!!!
I needed to hear this. Thanks Daniel. My mom recently passed away, with plenty of family drama. But, like you, I find people that I can't share my struggles with and I turn the camera on even when I don't feel like it. Thanks again
Really sorry to hear about your mom. ☮️❤️
I’m not a creator but I’m suffering from health issues that are taking it’s toll on me mentally and physically
I lost my spark for life, I have become someone I don’t even know, I fake being happy just so others don’t become like me as I find it catching in some sense
I do know I need help but I don’t know where to start
Love and light to everyone, we will be ok, we will get through it ❤
Amen.
I’m coming from my cousin’s funeral as I type this.
There are so many things we suffer through that I thought just mentioning it might help.
In the same boat!! Our main focus- the Jeep- is in pieces. Joe was in hospital for 2 months and then he quit his job. We haven’t picked up a camera or looked at social media since August
I needed this. Thank you Daniel ❤️🐞
I took a year off. Yes, it hurt my channel a bit, but I feel I'm making better content. And part of that improvement is because of your videos. I hope whatever is getting you down, you'll find a way to pick up the old bootstraps and move forward. Hang in there!
Thanks for Sharing Daniel! Not enough people talk about this with their audiences, it's the same with business owners (I guess we technically are all business owners!) who spend all their time looking after their people, but always forget to take care of themselves.
Get some rest, spend some time with people that energise you, and I hope we'll see you excited to make content again soon.
This is the video I needed. I haven't uploaded in over a year due to a lot of issues in my own life and I feel like I've let a ton of people down. Life likes getting in the way with anything you have going for you. But you are absolutely right, I don't want to lose touch with myself and who I set out to be. Thank you, Daniel!
Great advice, Daniel. I find it essential to schedule time off from filming for periods of time every year. I film at times long in advance, and then pause. It really helps clear my head and allow me to come back fresher to the material.
This King is so upfront and down to earth. I myself lost all of my money last year and had to move back in with my Mum and I'm now stuck in a tiny bedroom with barely any space/privacy to make content until I can save up enough money to get another place. Life is hard. Sometimes it screws us over, sometimes we screw up, but as our Brother Daniel said, it's ok to take time for yourself, and I think that's something that we should all value more. Us content creators love what we do, but we are still everyday people, much like our audiences. Thankfully, our viewers are generally awesome people and understand this, that it certianly helps if/when we might feel guilty about taking time away from the computer. Much love, Daniel! Hope everything improves for you and feel better soon! You and your channel have really helped me over the past 2 years! Stay awesome!
I was homeless at age 40 after a brutal divorce and economic depression. I lived in a truck for over a year. I promise you, things will get better. You are not alone ❤️☮️
Excellent video, thanks for posting. I hope that things get better for you.
Thanks so much. I appreciate that
You aren't just a creator bud, you're a teacher, a human being and honestly a son anyone would be proud of. Stay strong, we got your back.
❤️
You forgot to add that he is also a Rockstar... 👍😜
@@OcamRzr Yes, a rockstar too. 🙂
Very well said.
I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch, Daniel. Sometimes we need a time of solitude and isolation to process what has happened, or to grieve, or to heal the wounds. 2022 has been very hard for me, due to family circumstances, and I have not always been able to create videos as often as I would have liked. We will be here waiting. Take your time.
You are one of the few creators that I've come across that is authentic. While I struggle with many things, we all do, there is also a sense of "it'll be okay". I have a very strong faith that whatever my circumstances are, I will come out the other side stronger! And that is exactly how it goes every time.
Thank you for the honesty in this video. I love seeing other creators talking about the importance of taking care of yourself.
Last year was beyond brutal for me personally. Very tough dealing with my elderly mom. Pressure to keep streaming every Sunday morning and putting on a 'happy face'. That plus creating video content - TOUGH. Thank you for this. PEACE.
Daniel, Fellow New Englanders here. 😊 Sending you a lot of love as you journey through these challenges. So very sorry for the loss of your Mom. And, thank you for this reminder for us all. It is appreciated, and you are appreciated. Take care. 💞
My mom has been suffering from ALS, and she's on her last leg. She won't have long anymore. Combined with having a lot to say to her, due to issues in the past, but not being able to express this to her due to our deteriorated bond is immensely difficult. She's still my mother and I never wanted her to go through something like this, even though we have a rocky relationship, makes it excruciating. There's still somewhere a love for her that I didn't realise I still had, untill I realised I am going to lose her forever.
Damn.
So sorry to hear that. You’re not alone ❤️
I feel you and totally understand, Daniel. I saw your Tweet yesterday and appreciate you spoke further with a video. Sending you much light and love from one of the many whose experience of UA-cam and life you have certainly helped in so many ways. 🙏🏽
Thanks, John. I appreciate that
Sending good energy in your direction! ✊
I appreciate it, Tay. Thanks for that.
You have been on here for awhile, so you definitely can relate! "Chocolate rain..."
So valuable. I feel that struggle with every fiber of my being. Since I had gotten sick, I have been unmotivated and just flat… it’s been a year and a half and it’s either become my new identity or a set of excuses built on a string foundation… hard to really discern which.
Thanks for sharing Daniel. Appreciate this message very much.
Keep strong! You are one of those creators that are really worth following, not only because of your content, but because of who you are! And you have all the rights to slow down and take some time for you. We all have been there and we certainly will be again. So a big hug from here and take care 🙏🏻
I appreciate that ❤️
Thanks for being vulnerable, Daniel. I've struggles for about 18 months with personal health, mental health, family health, and financial issues that have made creating videos and the form of art I film a real struggle. I'm getting back...slowly...and I know better days are coming. I don't like to talk about it on video because it is so far removed from what my channel is about and I don't want to sound like I'm whining to my viewers. That said...thanks for taking that leap, Daniel, and giving the rest of us a little space to sigh, reflect, heal, and move forward.
I've suffered from depression pretty much my whole life. I've always wanted to make content, but only got into making content consistently around three months ago. I'm 21, and I've wanted to for as long as I can remember. You're not alone, Daniel. And thank you for making such an honest and personal video. It takes a lot of courage. I should know, I based my entire channel around the concept of being honest, as personal as I'm comfortable with, and just trying to make people happy. So thank you for doing just that, more poignantly and powerfully than I think I could.
With you all the way. I often struggle to show my true self online because sometimes home stuff as a mom gets in the way. Thanks for speaking out with this. It’s so true
Sorry to hear you've been finding it tough lately. I hope this getting it off your chest helped, and I'm certain your audience would understand. I may not be a UA-cam creator, but I am a creative person, and I've certainly struggled with all the things you mentioned. Being under pressure to be on every day when you're actually off can definitely take a heavy toll. Take care of yourself, Daniel. We'll be here when you're feeling better.
❤️
We're here for you Dan! We understand, and hope you can take all the time you need. Thank you for all the help you've given us so far, and thank you personally for taking the time out of your day to help a college student like me with an interview assignment. Good people like you will have positive things coming your way :)
Praying for you brother!!!!!!
I feel you...much peace and success (continued as you rock) I went through this hardcore last year but came up with a plan that got me through it and back at it! Glad to share.
Thank you so much for this, Daniel. I've experienced a lot of those. Today was extra appropriate. Thirteen years ago today I lost my mom to cancer, and even though it's been a long time, it still wrecks me every year. I noticed that you haven't been as active as usual in the Batalion group. I'd hoped it was for good reasons. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. The world needs more of that. Sending you lots of good energy and thoughts of comfort.
Sorry to hear about your mom. That's something that just sticks with you no matter the years that pass.
@@Daniel_Batal So true. Sorry to hear of your mom's passing as well. Cancer sucks!
It's okay, to take a break. The acceptance of the struggle by not trying to squash it; is the first very important step to being able to catch the vital focus again. Proud for your courage and willingness to discern the struggle is real.. You are now on the path for your journey to heal your inner self... Huge Thumbs Up.
I'm not a creator nor anyone that aspires to be a UA-camr... Just a blue collar worker that's been getting my hands dirty for 45 years ... I now create things out of metal. I get bogged down at times and know how you feel when it comes to creating . I watch your channel because you're a genuine person . Take time off and do something different... it'll come back . Stray safe.
Thanks, Dave. I appreciate that
Daniel, your words echo in my heart, as I too have felt the pain of uncertainty. We all carry our own battles, but in sharing them we can find solace and strength in each other. Your vulnerability is a gift to us all, and I thank you for the reminder that we are not alone!
Hang in there! Eventually, even the hamster flies off the wheel. An upcoming video I'm recording that might help “It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” - Lou Holtz ✌
Lou knows what he's talking about.
That sounds intriguing.
Sounds like a video that may be helpful to me too right now…
Hear you loud and clear, thank you for sharing and making us reflect inwards and outwards to the things that matter . . . love your work my brother.
Man. You said it.
Thanks man.
We are all creators in our own way. Thanks for the message
I can understand totally where you are coming from, Daniel, my friend. I lost my Mom last year, and I had to travel to the west coast twice because of it, I have some other stuff going on that has been distracting from my live streams and other stuff.
You're in my thoughts, my friend.
From 1 person who creates content to another thank you for this 🙏🏾
❤️☮️
You are definitely not alone. You are a human after all! Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable.
As a modest You Tuber myself I can relate… you cannot always be “on” and if you are not feeling well, mentally or physically you can easily lose focus or motivation to produce content. Thanks for sharing… your audience will be patient. 👍👍
Myself and the entire drop it nation will be lifting you in prayer! Prayer changes a lot. I lost my big brother in July to a Hit and Run. I feel your pain. I'm not sure where you stand, religious or not, but I got 6🙏
Thanks for sharing Dan. The reason why we are drawn to you is because your not only a Rockstar but you are a real human being. You make us feel comfortable even when your talking about your problems. So sorry about your mom, I can’t even imagine what that feels like. But keep that chin up and keep going. I’m sure after your break you will come back with a vengeance. God Bless and take care my friend!
Just saw this and I want you to know that you’ve helped me tremendously - I only discovered your channel last month! Thank you. You make a difference and offer tons of value. You matter. And… I appreciate you, bro. 🙏🏾🙏🙏🏼 Whatever you’re going through, I hope that you have the uplifting support and love guidance to help you through.
Much appreciated ❤️
Absolutely. Most viewers do respect authenticity. Often just acknowledging that things are tough is the first step on the road to recovery. I'm a "creator", but not a "UA-cam creator" and I can certainly relate to what you're saying. Being male, we're often encouraged to be tough, to be the hero of the family, to never give up and to never cry. I've hit rock bottom before and I know now that sometimes you just have to give yourself space and permission to let things go. It's brave of you to be authentic. Take whatever time you need to heal. I'll certainly be here for your next post and I'm sure that everyone else will be too.
OMG! Just to know I am not the only one who feels this way helps so much. Thank you for this, Daniel.
I feel you brother. Lost my sweet mama to that dreaded disease a couple of years ago and still haven't really dealt with it. I find myself chatting with her while out filming fishing content. I drop a tear in spring when the first daffodil pops up from the ground, thank heaven for the beautiful sunsets I witness while sitting in a kayak. I am thankful that I am here, trying to be the best father/grandfather I can... to make her proud. I really appreciate this video Daniel, I have been debating making one similar, as there are many around me who struggle with PTSD and the dreaded 22 a day.
I'm sorry to hear about your own loss. There are some things that might get a little easier over time but stay with us forever. Sending all positive vibes your way.
Same here, my friend; thank you for sharing this. Good to know I'm not alone with this same issue from time to time. God bless!
Thank you for everything you've done. I think it's the nature of an artist to think that everyone expects you to be "on" all the time, but most audiences understand. I'm sure we'll all be here when you decide to post again.
Dear Daniel! Besides being an amazing coach and teacher you are a very wise man. Thank you for being vulnerable and teaching us an important lesson.
Life is needlessly hard, like trying to do a basic action on Resolve...
I see what you did there.
You're a good dude, and I felt this in the heart. I hope for better days for you and everyone else who watches. Peaks and valleys for most of us.
All love and respect to you Daniel, this needed to be said! As creators we all need to take a deep breath and exhale. We have all been there at one time or another. You are so appreciated but there is that time that we as creators and human beings need to regroup, refresh and renew our mind, body and spirit. As a content creator for only a year now I absolutely get exactly where you are coming from and as a subscriber of this channel and your content I will always continue to support you on this platform. Again, prayers, well wishes and comfort to you. Take the time that you need to heal and we will all be here for you.........❤Your transparency is inspiring........
I hear you, man. Since I'm going through some difficult circumstances, I started a UA-cam channel to show others what I do in real life. I can relate to how painful it is because I lost both of my parents a few years ago. Brother, don't give up; just keep moving forward because things do get better.
I love watching your videos and used guys like you as an inspiration to start my own UA-cam channel a few years back now. I had trouble even talking on camera so I tried to mimic what I saw from people like you, Kevin the Basic Filmmaker, Andre, Worth it or Not which at least got me making videos.
Then I collapsed in the middle of making one video (after a terrible sweat) and went to hospital only to find that I have atrial fibrillation. So now, every video I make is a personal struggle for me because I get exhausted very quickly.
Making videos gives me a daily purpose but I have found that weekly or even twice weekly was making me keel over. I was fainting, sweating, passing out, getting AF attacks and looking white on camera. So now, I pace myself. Small amounts every day or so and the videos go out when they’re done. That takes the pressure off. I work at my own pace and discovered the pleasure of making them again instead of them being a strain on me to get them out on time.
When I think about it now, I was being a nutcase, making videos while having AF attacks for fear of losing my audience.
Now I’ve slowed down, the audience has remained. Many of them are really loyal watchers and really, I’m making the videos for them. My audience is only tiny but they have become ‘friends’ to me and they make it really worthwhile.
Video when you have the inspiration Daniel; the videos will be better and you’ll feel better about them.
Health is SO important. Something you find out when you are Ill…….
So true. Sorry to hear about your own struggles. I'm glad to hear that you were able to find some balance even when facing health issues. We do often seem to focus on all the wrong things sometimes.
Keep punching and keep the faith, brother! When I get in a funk I get on my recumbent bicycle and just ride, that really seems to clear my head. The year that I lost Dad, I bicycled 2180 miles during our short Alaska summer and it helped me tremendously! I also know people that do the 12 step programs, Al-Anon, AA , and the like. - Hey, it seems to help them, so why not? Sending happy thoughts and prayers my friend! PEACE!
Daniel:
I hear you brother. Mental health is a very important aspect of life that many people don't invest enough energy to keep in check.
I know this because I deal with it on a minute by minute basis in my life. Most people see me on my channel as a comedian because of the content I produce. Many people see me on the outside as a fun guy that can make light of almost any situation, but what they don't see is the pain, struggles, heartbreaks and loss I have to go through just to make light of those situations. They only really see how I react and how I deal with the events that cause me pain.
From being bullied (literally tortured by 6 guys all at the same time) for 10 years to finally blowing the cork off the bottle that I pushed all that pain into, and emerging into the one person nobody wanted to cross paths with on a bad day, to learning how to be a better person, the ups and downs of my life have been huge. I have to deal with the realization that sometimes if I don't check my emotions from going too far to one side or the other, I could revert back to that person I don't ever want to emerge from me again. I've used comedy to make all my problems not feel so bad, but at the same time, when I re-tell the events in the way I can to make people laugh, I have to re-live every incident all over again. But it's part of bringing laughter to the world, and it is what creates a sense of happiness in me to create happiness for others.
Most people see comedians as people that nothing bothers them because they make things funny. But the opposite is true. Comedians just have a different way of coping with their personal struggles, failures, and follies in life. They use humor to invoke the mind into seeing things in an obscure way so that a traumatic experience doesn't seem so bad. Or a bad relationship seems to ridiculous in nature to be involved with.
Sometimes I have to take a step back myself, when I'm feeling really edgy and on the edge of anger. I've been through anger management training to learn where my limits are and when I need to close myself off for a while. But just like a very successful person once told me, "Sometimes you have to take a step backwards in order to run a few mile forwards"
I wish you well on your path, and know that you will once again bring on the positivity that you always present. Peace Love and Happiness my friend.
Well said. Sorry to hear about your own struggles. I think we often forget that the things we push down and push through can sometimes resurface at the most random times. They have a cumulative effect. Sending you all good vibes.
@@Daniel_Batal if you are ever in need of a laugh at my expense, check out my comedy routines, all are 100% real events in my life. As embarrassing as some of them are, I've also found a way to make them funny for people to listen to.
It can be rough sometimes, take your time that you need and regroup. We will wait for you.
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. I wish you the best, and I personally have been grateful for all of the help you've given all of us creators over the last few years.
- Dave
Praying for you, Daniel. As a YT content creator, I completely agree with all you've just said. I also find it hard sometimes to come up with new ideas - esp when there are emotional bombs going off in the household, or when I've just not had enough sleep (usually caused by the aforementioned bombs!!). A lot of viewers don't really understand how draining it can be to continually be making content, filming content, editing and uploading content etc etc. So, please take care of yourself. Take as much time as you need. Your health is more important. I, for one, will still be here when you're back up and ready to make the next video 💛
Thank you for sharing. I can identify with a lot you said. I lost my mom and some other family to cancer, and now I'm on medical leave for kidney cancer myself, barely scraping by in Japan. Endured a rough marriage, divorce, and lost custody of my wonderful daughter 15 years ago and have been trying to rebuild that relationship as best I can. My subscribers are a small group but they've been mostly positive. You're right: they'll understand.
I feel for you Daniel. We have all been through difficult times including me. And actually my way out of my problems is content creation! I am separated and I don't get to see my daughter often enough. However the days I'm not seeing her are the days I'm creating my videos and that's helping me cope. And yes, there are times that I don't feel like doing any videos, that I just want to sleep. Times that I struggle to get the right content out, so I postpone it. And that's ok. Until we get up again, a big hug friend and a pat on the back.
Kids are all of it for me. I have one son and I love him with all of my heart.
I just want you to know that I lost my mom last week. To work thru my incredible grief, I turned to my creative side and I was determined to create my first UA-cam video for my newly minted channel. It was because of you that it happened. I watched your videos regarding Filmora last night, immediately downloaded DaVinci and dove in head first. Today I uploaded that first video. It's not a work of art, but I will always know it was the first video I created to work thru my grief. Thank you for providing insight and advice. We all find ways to cope. May you find your perfect way for yourself.
❤️❤️ never give up 🔥🔥
That's always been my motto. There are times when that's much easier said than done, especially for any creator out ther who might be struggling.
I've been trying to get new content posted for a few months. Thanks for sharing, comforting to hear.
Thank you for sharing. I'm going through something right now, too, so it came at a perfect time. I didn't want to stop creating, because it's actually helping me to distract myself, but it did impact on the type of content I'm making, 'cause I feel the need to talk about the healing process.
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad to hear you're still creating. I've seen so many creators give up on their dreams because the struggle became too overwhelming. We're all human and have our flaws and breaking points. I hate to see anyone struggle.
I am building my channel around recovery from addiction. I haven't posted any new content in over 50 days because of my mental health. Which I feel guilty about because I should be sharing it with my audience because it's a common struggle in the recovery/addiction space. Thank you for sharing this with us Daniel. I know that I see successful creators on here and often think "how do they never struggle?" etc. You put a human element back into this. It's my goal to film a video and get it up this week but I'm still struggling. I'm so sorry about your Mom. Take care of you.
Amen, Jessica. We all struggle in some way, shape or form. As good as we sometimes are at talking about things on camera, sometimes we aren't as good in real life about verbalizing those inner struggles ❤️
When you are ready to share, you will. Your audience will still be there.
Bravo to you, Daniel, for talking about this. Society too often tells us that any struggle with mental health is something to “just power through.” But rest - true rest - is often what we need. I have battled depression since my dad died in 2020. It wasn’t until last year when I started therapy that I could see any kind of “light” in the world. When a close family member had a recurrence of cancer last fall, I knew I had to take a break from my channel. It was hard, because I was just starting to get back in the swing. But I knew that in the long run, giving myself time to rest was going to be the healthier thing to do. To anyone reading this comment - if you’re struggling, talk to someone. You don’t have to “tough it out.” There is light.
Thankfully, after teaching middle school for 20 years, it’s prepared me to act happy even when I’m not. Everyday, you have an audience right in your face for like 7 hours a day. I usually just bury myself in work to get out of the funk. 😀
Yes, it's all an act. A good nice salesperson can bluff it in public easily. Turn off everything inside and just robotically continue to smile, nod head yes, occasionally.
I think you nailed it. That's exactly what I've done most of my life. Just bury myself in the work. Unfortunately for the long game, there is a cumulative effect of many struggles and burdens that can creep up on you when you least expect it.
@@Daniel_Batal yeah, there’s a chance my heart bursts in a few more years from stress. Take care. 😀
I'm bipolar so sometimes my grasp of reality is a little tenuous. It's important to share what's going on inside of our heads, even if it's a little scary. Having somewhere safe to do that is healthy. I've always felt you were a genuine person, and your expression today enforces my view of that. Take the moments you need.
💕🙏💕
You're human and so real. Thank you for sharing your truth 🧡
I AM SO THERE WITH YOU. My adult children have had drama after drama and I'm struggling so hard. My channels are really rolling and all I want to do is flop.
With you 100% Daniel, just remember it's OK to not be OK, I've had 2 really good dark meltdowns and posted about them on my channel and the support was truly amazing, the messages afterwards saying that in watching my experience it helped them deal with it better was very humbling too. Keep talking, keep focusing on the good things, get into nature and just sit and listen to the birds or the wind through the trees for a while, you have an amazing community and we're here for you. Take it easy my friend.
Thanks for this video, Daniel!!! I was struggling to try and create nothing because I am having a lot of difficulties in figuring out UA-cam in the first place and now, I just lost my father yesterday morning!!! Rough days!!! Stay strong!!!
I feel you, man! I'm not okay either, and I haven't been okay for a long time. It isn't anything I feel comfortable talking about either. People see me and feel that I'm not okay, and they try to be supportive, but most are in no position to understand what I'm feeling. I just push ahead and do my best. That's all I can do.
I hear that. Stay strong 💟☮️
Great topic. I am glad you published this video. I too have gone through alot of what you spoke about. My wife is currently in her 19 month of fighting cancer, and her CAT scan was clear yesterday. Your one of my inspirations, and the content you create is great! Thank you!
I’ve just gone through prostate cancer and at only 49. I used my channel as a voice to show my fears but also then after successful treatment to spread awareness and to raise money for the charity here in the UK that helped me through it.
I’m a watchmaking channel but i found myself talking about cancer. It was cathartic for me and the response was overwhelming support.
I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve and found voicing it to anyone and everyone helps make any problem smaller even one that was as frightening as mine.
I learnt to always stay positive no matter what and that live goes on .
Take care mate. Time will heal
So sorry to hear that. I'm glad to hear the treatment was successful. That's such a blessing.
Amen Brother!! Wish you the best!
This! You're not alone, bud. There's LOTS of that going around. I'm more aware of it within myself this year.
I am SOOOO glad you brought this up and spoke up. It's a struggle for so many.
I am ALWAYS in a funk this time of year. I suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). The last thing I feel like doing is creating. So I just give myself some grace, create if I ever feel inspired, I don't force it. I have also told my community, so if any of them suffer, they'll know they aren't alone.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us, we all greatly appreciate you!!
🤗💗🙏

God bless you brother and God bless all the creators who are struggling right now 🙏🏻♥️
Wow! Creators have the biggest hearts too! We have such empathy for others even though we struggle ourselves.. This will touch a lot of people! Thank you from a simple Photographer! Also sorry about your mom I lost mine in November. I’m lost without her.
This was a much needed reminder for me to just breathe. Thank you Daniel!
Hi Daniel! This is Randy from Randy and May's Lifestyle. I can relate to what you said in your video. I have been married twice before and have 3 children, and I lost my mother to brain cancer. When I met May, she changed my life, and we decided to have a UA-cam channel. This forced me to learn editing and content creation. We enjoy it. I have moments when "life" gets in the way, and I am not able to create. I just stay positive and thank my lucky stars that I have what I have in my life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings it helps me feel that I am not alone in all of this.
Honestly never imagined you being someone who gets into a funk, regardless of your trials and struggles... saying that in light of the energy you usually put out, on video and in person. I can certainly relate. I've been struggling for WAY too long here and I'm still working way too hard to get myself back into my old flow. I hope things turn around for you soon. Take care.
Thanks man it’s really encouraging to know that folks aren’t alone in the struggle we really appreciate all of your hard work and you sharing your knowledge and kindness keep it up brother
oh man you brought my tears out.... yeah. I am one of those for sure. I am pulling through, creating videos but certainly it is not easy... when your child is sick and you are waiting for all doctors test and all that, not knowing what is going on... yeah.... lots of strength to you. Hugs...
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it all works out for you and your family. As a father, kids are everything to me. We never want to see them struggle and it rips us apart when they do. All positive vibes your way ❤️☮️
@@Daniel_Batal absolutely... I feel the same... thank you for your words and also all the best to you.
I just saw your post. Thank you for being open about this. If your community truly cares for you they will support you wanting some downtime. We're all human like you stated. Bad things happen. And time is needed to process and recover. Condolences for your mother.
2:38 I think it’s great for many reasons that people open up a bit more. 👏 stay well my friend
Daniel, thank you for this message! It really hit in the heart strings. Life can be pretty overwhelming at times and it does impact creativity. again.....thank you 🙏
Most often it's not about solving the problem but to simply be heard. Finding people who can sympathise an understand makes you not feel alone.
So cool, Daniel, for you to share what you have been going through and the message. Thank you. Hope things get better for you.
What we love about you is your authentic happy vibe. There’s not many people who could maintain that 24/7. That you take a mental health break when you need it is such positive advice. Thank you. And so sorry for the loss of your mom and that you’re going through a struggle right now. ❤️
Thank you for highlighting this issue. A lot is going on lately. Layoffs, relationships, jobs, daily life. Most of us are going through something, but we push ourselves to be "on" and entertaining to our audience. Big hugs to you. ❤🧘🏾♀
Thank you for making this video. Creating for me is escape as I’m fighting substance-abuse, but feeling exhausted.
Don’t stop creating. It’s truly an investment in yourself and can lead to great things.
@@Daniel_Batal thank you for taking the time to respond to another human being as I know you have a lot of human beings interested in your content.
Thanks for sharing Daniel. I look forward to more videos in the future. Take your time. I'll be here when you return!
U r right Daniel and I agree with u. When face with any obstacle or problem, just stop. Analyse then proceed. You'll be on better grounds.
Wonderful video - thank you for saying this!🙂
