Share this video with anyone you think might need it ❤ Sorry for the very personal video, I think in a way I almost made it for myself, to look back to if things get tough again, which they're bound to, but we're all in this together, and your love and support gets me through the hard times and brings back the unbridled joy I get to experience as part of my job. So, thank you.
Thank you Jazza. I feel just like this since I turned 20, I'm at second year at academy of art, and I need to start making living. All my life I dreamed to do that from art and youtube, but things aren't working the way teenage me imagined it will4. It's kinda hard to adapt to reality, still I needed motivation to keep trying. Once again you helped me! ♡
NeroTM Art I’m 4 years ahead of you and Growing up sucks! Lmao The best thing to do though is to surround yourself around like minded people and try not to put the pressure all on yourself. Express your dreams with people who will understand and support you.
"I put my heart and soul into my work and have lost my mind in the process" - Vincent Van Gogh, remember people creative work is dangerous to your mental health, this has been a public service announcement.
rat Creativity can be a great gift but it is also a huge burden. A burden that when it starts feeling so heavy and so dragging that I set it down just so I can hug it because I love my creativity that much!
It's a blessing and a curse, not everyone has the gift of being creative but those who do posses it run the risk of losing their minds to please somebody else's.
*Jazza, thank you so much for making this.* I've been a creative person since I was a kid, but I've also been abused and neglected. The mental block of being stressed around coworkers, around family members, etc has led me to feel high performance pressure, which paralyzes me from even starting. I've been afraid to make real friends close to me, for fear of being mocked, rejected or backstabbed. I've had an entire community of people throw me under the bus on the basis of someone lying about me. I want friends, but I don't want to be around anyone, and I want to do my own work rather than waste my time and energy working for someone else. I'll be 36 in just eight days, and I'm not getting any younger. 22 years of suppressed imagination has led to the seeds of great ideas, but my pain, and my psychological addiction keep me from acting on them. Nothing sates and gratifies my soul more than the flow state of creating good art, or focusing on the writings of my various novel ideas. I don't feel that any "job" will truly satisfy me. My loneliness, reclusive nature and addiction are chains that I must break, in order to unleash my full potential on the world.
I have chronic pain from a type of leukemia, I use art to escape my physical limitations and so far it’s improved my quality of life. I always wanted to be an artist, it’s all I ever really wanted to do. Ive met wonderful people through painting, my girlfriend met me because she liked my artwork. I decided to team up with her and we’re slowly building a following. I sometimes hit a point where stress shuts down my creativity and the pain is all my mind can focus on. Having support makes me feel very greatful, life is hard for everyone and being able to inspire others to create can change someone’s life for the better. Jazza you inspire so many people and I’m happy to say I’m one of them. I come back to watch this video sometimes, to focus on what it takes to break through that wall of stress. I grew up teaching myself animation and drawing, I can relate as I use to post to newgrounds as a teenager as well . I remember seeing your work along with other major animators. I wish you and your family the best, keep having fun and making cool things!
I just want to let everyone know. You are not alone when you are dealing with issues. Depression, burnt out, etc. Talk to someone, your problems are always relevant. Ask for help to cope with the situations you are in. If you cry, it doesn’t mean you are weak, you are trying to cope with your situation and your feelings are always okay to express. Always try to help yourself to go through everything you are going through
Whispersong I dont know. Because its so stupid and sometimes I dont even know myself really what problem I have... Just somehow... Sounds really stupid :'D
kaesekuhen ;P you aren’t stupid, don’t ever say that about yourself. You are a person and each person has problems that they might not be able to talk about or reach out to someone to talk about your situation. If you are able to contact some therapist online, counselors at school, parents, etc. they are all willing to help you go through a hard time through this and you’ll feel better at the end
I just want to thank you Jazza. I started to follow you not long ago and your creative and amazing artworks have really given me a lot of ideas. I myself like to draw but what I see myself as the most is a writer and as I am struggling with depression, burn outs are something I face a lot, even right now. Watching this video really helped me. Like, I finally got some real advice on how to move away from it even though I know it will come back because of my mental state. This video kinda gave me an idea on how I can overcome it faster and hopefully less painful. So yeah, I wanted to thank you for that so much. Please, keep on doing what you are doing. You are truly an inspiration to more then just artist.
I’ve come back to this video to thank you, Jazza. I’ve been going through a lot of emotional strain, most I don’t understand and am new to. Today, I finally decided to try some of the advice you’ve given. Specifically, the small meditation sessions. I was simply curled up on my bed, earbuds in, listening to a five minute song that has always spoken to me. After the song ended, I did the same thing you’d do: I asked myself what I needed. For once, I got a purely clear answer. It’s so obvious now, and I think I knew it all along. I was always trying to treat it and I was always trying to fix it, even if I didn’t realize it much. I needed someone who cared. I hugged myself. I gave myself the reassurance that my family cares, my friends care, and so many others. I told myself that they want to see me happy. Thank you, Jazza. I want to finally address myself head-on and I want to care for myself. And I want to remember that even those I look up to also experience the wall that is guilt for pain. Please remember that I care, just as everyone else in this comment section does. This video is old, but maybe you’ll see it, and hey, fate always finds a way.
it rly made my day seing someone actually facing this and talking bout it meaning it serious...its not to long ago i faced a burnout caused by to many project i kept working on for weeks without a break + chores , family and a child (not mine) i take care of...trying to satisfy everyone including me with my art..and then..for no reason it seems everyones complaining bout me...u do this n that wrong etc..that hits my heart like a knife and i suddenly feel so useless and burned out
Ironically, I think this is my favorite piece of content you've shared on your channel. It takes a lot to admit the things you did and then go through the ways to overcome those feelings. I think you should share more stuff like this, it shows you're just like everyone else and face the same struggles.
I feel like I can sum up most of the comments here in just two words "We understand". The fantastic part of an artist making content for other artists is most of us have experienced (on some level) all of these same issues. I can say with honesty that I have never been disappointed with your content and I love how open and honest you are with your followers. You're doing great Jazza, we're proud of you!
I've been struggling with creative block for about 6 months...ever since I started my new job. I keep thinking it's just because I need to get accustomed to the new hours/schedule. Once I get use to a certain work flow, they change it on me! I'm usually exhausted after work, and weekends I usually try to catch up on housework (so that I don't feel like a worthless bum that doesn't contribute to the home workload), but I haven't made anything in a long time, even though I have a crap ton of stuff I want to make. Like, I have an actual list. I just have no motivation. Or energy. BUT... this video sparked something deep inside just watching it. So maybe there's hope for me yet. Thank you so much Jazza.🥰
@Jazza you are my hero, just remember that when you face burnout/creative block your fans will always stay here with you! I know I will, because your personality and drawings are both amazing and awe inspiring. I’ve been subscribed to you for forever, you make me feel happy at the end of the day. I hope that you’ll get over the block and find even higher success in the future, because you are the future. Love you Jazza, keep going because we all admire your amazing character and your amazing drive in life!
Thank you for this! Your honesty and willingness to share your struggles, as well as tips on how to deal with it is amazing. I especially recognize what you say about overworking. I find this to be true in my profession as a teacher as well. Even when I go home for the day I’m not done. Endless tasks tower over you, and you always feel bad for not having enough time to do all the things you should do. One really does have to learn to say good enough is good enough. I have experienced burnout before, and this video will help me if and when I get to that point again. Thank you!
Hey Jazza, thank you for always being there for your audience, you constantly put out artwork for us and make us laugh with your obnoxious but consistent jokes... Your an inspiration to each any every one of us and I thank you... Although, i do have a question... Is the motto for the channel "I really like the way that turned out", or is it "obnoxious, but consistent"? I've been wondering for a while
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've recently been experiencing a burn out and mental tried feeling. This video helped me a lot to realize and accept that I have been working and pressuring myself too much. Thank you! I'm glad you made this great and helpful video.
Been there multiple times especially most recently. Mix burnout with stress over family related matters and a sick relative who needs me (they need more of me than what's actually left). Basically I'm divided between my husband & stepdaughter, my very sick grandmother, mentally unstable mother, dad who needs my strength (again, what's left of my strength) and finally trying to come up with content for my UA-cam channel and for art projects. No longer have a social life and am exhausted. I just get on with life though so it's good I carry on. Can't wait to take a break from the worries and get that belated honeymoon with my husband.
Listin to this guy everyone he knows what he is talking about my life was absolute shit because I just got into my first very bad break up. After watching this video I found out that I have so many other people that love me more than my ex ever did. I was scared to move on because my heart kept going back to her. The only girl that I thought could make it better added me on Snapchat and we started talking I was bored so I asked what I should draw. I drew something depressing but I was happy as hell because I found out how to get out of the hole that I kept digging for myself. Jazza I thought you where just an amazing artist but now you are someone that I look up to. Thank you for everything Im happy again and happier than ever, I can’t let one person who I thought loved me, I need to focus on real people the people who do actually love me. Thank you so much jazza!
A helpful tip I learned for if your mind tends to wander during meditation is this: Imagine a bubble that's your favorite color. Breathe deeply, and each time you breath in, imagine the bubble getting smaller. Each time you breathe out, imagine the bubble getting bigger. It helps you focus and calm down, and it's helped me a lot with my anxiety!
I've got to be honest man. I felt this. It's one of the most authentic videos I've seen on UA-cam for artists. But I really struggle with what you mention in step 2. I also experienced some form of success from making art, but I identified the reason for it being me pushing myself so hard. Like that picture with the wip. And I kept thinking, damn, if I pushed myself and got this far, maybe I should push myself harder and get even further. It made sense in my head. But then I ended up in the mental ward. 2 years later, I'm still in a hole, and my career is lower than when I started. I still love and enjoy making art, but I just don't know how to do it without pushing myself too hard. I don't know how to try and be better without putting my mental health at stake.
One of the best pieces of meditation advice that I've ever heard: Close your eyes and imagine what it would personally feel like to reach your ideal 'meditative' state.
"George is aground, George has outgrown what he could do" - Sondheim Whenever I get in a rut, I listen to Sondheim's Sunday in the Park w/ George, specifically Lesson #8 and Move on. The former is about that creative block, while the latter is an inspiration to get past it and create. "Anything you do let it come from you, give us more to see"
This is so relatable. Sometimes you feel like you're at a dead end and drawing is more of a burden than a passion. "Why was I born with this?" kind of thing
I know this is an old video, but I only recently discovered your channel last year & felt the need to comment... I’ve actually found your channel to be exceptionally useful in helping ground myself as an artist and find inspiration. I can relate very much to what you’re saying here. Truth be told, this is the only channel I’ve ever truly found genuine interest in. I adore that, one moment you’re not afraid to do something *crazy* & embarrassing (still making it inspirational & interesting!), whilst on the other hand, you post something like this - very sincere, genuine, and human. I enjoy the feeling you give, that not everything has to be perfect, it’s simply *trying* that matters. Ironically, that’s part of what my channel is about too (just with a different twist). It’s still very much in its infancy, but I hope that one day we could potentially collaborate - if you can fit me in to your very busy schedule 😅. Perhaps we could give each other a challenge? (I also take them, under a project / playlist called *CONQUERED!* 😊). Anyway, I don’t even know if you’ll see this to read, but I hope so. I’m rambling on a bit now, so I’m gonna end it here. Remember that you are awesomeness personified, and please keep up the amazing work (and self care! 😉). Kind regards, Leanne (aka. “Lippy” - based in Yorkshire, UK).
I do not know if this'll reach you Jazza, but this video hit me so hard it left a grown man tear-eyed... I'm a social services student and the continuing pressure and the urge to accomplish have left me in front of this huge-ass wall... Making my sentiments turn upside down, resulting in procrastinating and thus leaving my future graduation on the edge of a knife... I genuinely think your video has now waken me up from the slumber and i can't ever thank you enough! Sincerely, Jere from Finland
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been in a block for a couple months, and being a creator is hard and to come up with new fresh stuff but “keep it the same” for your audience is rough. Thank you for everything you do! ❤️
Jazza, thank you. I run a business by creating miniature sculptures then selling them, and I’m always under constant worry that I’m not creating enough of them in a short amount of time. I love my work, and I’m a perfectionist, so my sculptures each take a couple days to make, on top of school. This truly helped me understand that that is okay.
If only I had seen this video earlier... I was telling my friends I felt burnt out and I didn’t know it was the correct term. Didn’t know how to handle it and I just kept drawing and writing thinking that would make it go away on it’s own, but it wasn’t as effective as I believed it would be. Thank you for the tips; I’m glad to have subscribed.
It's good to remember that this works for this other than art. This video can help so many people. Please share this to anyone and everyone experiencing something similar. Thank you for making this video for us Jazza. ;)
Thanks for the advice, I’ve been on this burnout for what seems like years. I still draw but it’s nothing I’m ever proud of. More and more of my work goes unfinished because I lose interest. I don’t have that spark that I used to have in school, I’m not myself. I used to draw all day everyday, but now it’s like I draw a few days a month.
Just started the video but I have to say I KNOW THE FEELING! I'm no professional or even amature by any stretch. I'd say on and off hobbiest because I can't stay motivated. I've been trying to get into writing on and off for the last 2 years, I'm doing it more and more as time goes on but, I'll have two weeks of pure creative energy, Everything is amazing, music is great, I'm digging my Admiral Rodcockers Jammin 80's playlist, the world is full of opportunity and I'm ready to take it on and do amazing things and I'm writing 1000 words minimum every day. Then one day I just can't do it. Everything sucks, I'm tired of listening to my Admiral Rodcockers Jammin 80's playlist containing 359 songs and growing, all music sucks, I can't find new music and the world is grinding me down to a pulp. there is no energy, will to move forward or motivation whatsoever. Donald Trump is ruining my life, why can't we have one normal day? Just one? I hate myself, I have no skills, Ive proven I can't develop them because I can't even stick to a simple routine. Why bother, I'll never make it. This can last weeks. I can get a little bit done here and there but I'm just not into it. At all. It's a vicious cycle. I was out of work for a few months and that just amplified it 2000× fold. I'm on a bipolar upswing right now lol, so I'm looking for as much advice as possible to combat this internal struggle. I'm glad I stumbled on to this, I hope it helps. Edit. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS JAZZA! I FEEL LIKE AN ABSOLUTE MORON! Ive been trying to run marathons and do as much as I possibly can in one day! It's the same reason why I get sick of video games, then come back to them a month later and think, this game is awesome, WHY DID I EVER STOP PLAYING IT!? I recognized this with the video games long ago, years ago, but I never thought it applied to creative work. This is the main reason why Ive failed to develop as a writer and and an artist. I would have jam sessions where it's like okay, I don't feel like I'm in this head space all the time so I'm going to cram as much shit in as I possibly can. I blame Stephen King. I heard he has a strong work ethic and writes every single day no matter what. So I thought YEAH, I'm gonna be like that! I DONT EVEN LIKE STEPHEN KING, HIS STORY PLOTS ARE CHEESY AND UNINTERESTING! I just respected his work ethic lol. I put to much pressure on myselfz bite of more than I can chew and I end up folding. Also, the last 3 years have been the most stressful and depressing years of my entire life. This year would have been amazing in comparison if not for Donald Trump... Side note, The one positive thing about Ronald Dump is he pulled the pretty face off our extremely corrupt government and opened many people from their sleep. But anyways, thank you Jazza, Ive only seen three of your videos and all have been top notch so far, Ive been meaning to get around to watching your drawing tutorials but I'm a lazy cow lol... But yeah, I just assumed I was alone in my struggle, Thank you man, truly.
I have tests at school. I feel pressured. I don't want to let myself down. I don't want to be the worst and I don't want to dossapoint my family. They assure me time and time again that I won't dossapoint them. I know this but I can't get over this. I can't just not do my tests because it's what I need to get a job and survive. I'm 17 and my country is heavily run on education. If you're not smart you won't get anywhere. I tell my friends and try to explain but nowadays everyone is self diagnosing depression. Every day constant anger, sadness, tiredness (not fatigue. Just tired of having to go through everything) I try so much but I either get belittled ridiculed or misunderstood. I don't want to speak to a therapist because I ''have no reason'' to be this way. I have a few more days of tests left. I don't feel good about any of this.
BloodlessVenus Meme I feel like people are realizing they can be more honest and open with their emotions, which is where this flood of emotional videos are coming from. Doesn’t mean they weren’t sad before this period of time, they just didn’t share it
Thank you for all the work you do for this channel. I’m also struggling, I haven’t drawn anything for months. I’m struggling even daily basics, because of my depression ❤️❤️❤️
This helps. I don't know if anyone is gonna read this, but I've recently lost a friendship that meant the world to me. My friend thought it really wasn't a friendship to keep. Now this hit me like a truck with needles strapped to it. But, however hurting this may be, I've kinda learnt how to get back up on my own two feet. I have better things too look forwards to! One of them being that in 2022, on February the 2nd, it's gonna be tuesday. If you don't know what that means, it's gonna look like this: 2/22/22 on a Tuesday. Basically, 2'sday. Think about that. Also, to anyone who stopped and took the time to read this, thanks. I hope this helps in any way. A budding friend, Sam Giavedoni.
This video helped me realize some thing. I have a freind that is dealing with depression and he is trying to do it alone. Thus video has shown me that I can help him. I sent thus to him to try and hope he gets much better in metal health. Thank you so much for making this video.
There are many versions of meditation. If one doesn't eork for you, try to find one that does. Focussing on breathing freaks me out for example. I do one where I focus on surrounding sounds.
Taking five art classes and doing some projects for my portfolio and the art club I’m a part of so..yeah the art burnout is real and when it hits it feels like a bag of bricks just fell on top of me.
when i get artist block, or a burnout, i dont feel as pressured to make art because i dont have many sopurers but i do feel bad. some things i do is a work on an animation because somtimes trying to make my animation smoother helps. another thing is i take requests. request usally get me motivated to create something. idk tho
i've been experiencing this lately, and this was exactly what i needed to hear. so much so that i may have had a much needed cry after. thank you for sharing this.
Amazingly encourageing cause I'm just 15 and I wanna be a UA-camr but this is one thing I feared , the end ... But this video has made me realize that your the script writer and you decide the end , thanks so much for making this video Jazza this was very inspiring !! Love you !
Sorry Jazza we didn’t mean to make u feel pressured. I love u, ur singing, ur fam and ur personality. Ur an open book; really honest, so I don’t care what u deside to do; I support u and I know everyone else does too. We still have some of ur good/memories from all ur videos so u do u and well keep on watching “ The fans that quit on u for being u aren’t true fans; the real fans are the ones who say by ur side and love u for u” -Christine Savage(me)
i cant make anything when i think about how much pressure there is in everything i do. my art is the only reason why i had free education. thanks for this vid it helped me a lot :')
I.. Think I have tried a burn out before.. I felt like everyone hated me.. Because the thing that "started it", or.. Just made the thought in my head, was when my class played rounders, and it was with 1. and 2. chooser of teams. Me and my friend was the last standing, and then she got chosen, and I stood there left. Then I waited for the other team to choose me, but instead they said that they chose the ball.. The teacher said that they couldnt, but they just said that I was too bad, and they didnt want me on their team. I could just feel the tears comming, and I just wanted to die in that moment. Some of my friends came over to me, and helped me, and they shouted at them, but I was still feeling like they hated me. But of course I thought that they liked me, my friends. But that thought soon got changed.. Some days later I asked one of my best friend if we could go home to me after school, and she said she didnt have time. Then another person asked her if she wanted to go home to him and bake a cake,(they didnt know I was listning because I was about to go home.) and she said she could ask.. The next day I heard the boy saying: "Me and :the friend: made this cake yesterday!" My first thought: "Did she just act like she was my friend?" and I walked around thinking that EVERYONE hated me, also my friends.. I felt like I would never be loved... I really felt like I could just die, without anyone caring! I still get those thoughts randomly, and I always get them, if I get sad or angry. Feeling like no one is caring about you is really bad.. I dont know if Im still burned out, I could be.. But the worst part of it was, I was too scared to tell anyone. And I am still, and I just hope no one I know see this comment... And I just hide it. I hide it all.. But my "new" best friend (She isnt a new one, we have known each other for a long time, but it was just so you didnt think it was the other friend with the cake and stuff..) and I, we really "need" each other. In a way. She doesnt have that many friends in our class, and I dont have either! Because Im too scared to be let down again.. But sorry for the LONG comment :) And thanks for your time
I'm burning out for over a year now. Being in a relationship with a mental ill person for 3 years is nearly killing me. My whole life is only rotating around him and his illnes and there is no more room for me. I first thought that i could deal with his illnes but i over estimated myself and all the work that would come with him. He can go from happy to destroying everything within a second. I constantly waiting for him to freak out again and i can't let go of that presure. I can't feel happy or creativ anymore because everytime i do he is either bragging about how down he feels or he complains why i'm not taking care of other stuff. I have to care for him like a mother. I can't take some "me" time and i can't restore my energy. I tryed to end the relationship but his family and friends begged me to stay with him. I first didn't understandy why and thought that they supported me and the relationahip with him. But the actual case is that they are sick and tired of his behavior and because of his realtionship and moving in with me took all the responsibility from them away. They keep saying that his downs are just a phase but it's a awful long phase. I can't take it any longer. Being with him kills me. I have to function but i'm so burned out. I don't have time to recover.
Sincerely Haylee Thank you. It feels good to talk about it. I'm not trained at all and he didn't act that way when we first met or on the first year of our relationship. He slowly started changing and i don't see or think that it will get better in the future. He had profesdional help but i doesn't want to take his medication anymore and refuses any professional help. I tryed to talk to him about it but that made the situation only worse.....he even threded me that he would kill himself.....now i'm scared to say anything because i really don't want him to comit suicide. Right now i'm secretly looking for a new job and home so i can...."get rid" of him.
Lillith Pan Why If he's refusing professional health (even threatening suicide to make you stay), and expects you to take care of him, your relationship needs to come to a close for your mental health. You need to break it off before he becomes more toxic. Do you have anywhere where I can talk to you privately?
Jazza you are AMAZING and thank you so much for this. Your videos have made me laugh daily and have helped me improve my skills in art. You are truly awesome
What a wonderful video. This is about the most honest, helpful and inspiring thing I have watched in a long time. Authenticity is an important leadership characteristic and Jazza you are seen by a lot of people as a leader, we look to you almost daily for inspiration, education and fun. That brings pressure and admitting that you are not superhuman makes you someone genuine and someone we can all believe in. I am glad you are in a better space and I look forward to watching your videos in 2018.
Why do people think it's a good idea to tell a struggling person that they have gone through that too. Is that supposed to help? Is it going to make them feel better or what?
HSYN Then people know that they aren't alone. And because he has a popular channel, he will maybe someday meet Jazza and then they can talk about this. Not saying it's likely though
Jazza thank you so much for doing this video, it really helps a lot. I recently started posting speed paints on UA-cam and you're one of the reasons I keep going cause you're my motivation. Thank you!
Angel your art is so beautiful, been following you on IG and Twitter for a while now idk why I was surprised to see you here XD I'm glad you're posting videos, that's awesome!
I was crying while watching this. School has been increasingly stressful lately, my parents thought I was just being lazy and flippant... but it was more than that. I was trying to work full time, take college courses and work on my art. For weeks I have felt exhausted, blowing my budget on eating crap food and coffee to get anything done. But I am emerging from it, and I know I will be alright. It is hard to let go because of the shame of poor grades and my health, but I'm so grateful for this. I am sorry for the vent/rant but I was so relieved after watching this, thank you so, so very much. ❤
Reilly Azul If you feel its a place you feel comfortable talking about your feelings then vent away I have had a difficult time lately and in the past and this is a wonderful community.. so if you want to vent then vent cause it helps when you do :) ❤
I can’t imagine this was an easy video to make. Thank you for sharing. Know that we will always support you and will understand whatever it is you need to do, whether it be a break from the channel or just a series of videos about whatever you feel like. The content you like to create is the content we want to watch. Love you Jazza.
This is exactly how I've been feeling for a long time. It's why I haven't uploaded. Just now slowly starting to get over it but this was a tremendous help. You're the man, Jazza! Anyone going through it needs this advice. :D
Create what you want when you want and your true fans won't demand any more from you. I'm only a recent subscriber but I've got a pretty high amount of respect and appreciation for you. You're my inspiration to get into drawing. My point is your well-being is important to us and we understand you are HUMAN just like us. And we understand you have a life outside of your show. 😄also thanks for the video! Stay Awesome
Since we're all so creative we can tire ourselves from being too amazing. I wouldn't urge you to stop being amazing but to take a break from your creativity and come back when youre ready to make something wonderful
Share this video with anyone you think might need it ❤
Sorry for the very personal video, I think in a way I almost made it for myself, to look back to if things get tough again, which they're bound to, but we're all in this together, and your love and support gets me through the hard times and brings back the unbridled joy I get to experience as part of my job. So, thank you.
Draw with Jazza

Thank you Jazza.
I feel just like this since I turned 20, I'm at second year at academy of art, and I need to start making living. All my life I dreamed to do that from art and youtube, but things aren't working the way teenage me imagined it will4. It's kinda hard to adapt to reality, still I needed motivation to keep trying. Once again you helped me! ♡

It is hard but I just looked at your Channel and you are a really great artist! Keep going and just have fun. (also you just got another sub)
NeroTM Art I’m 4 years ahead of you and Growing up sucks! Lmao The best thing to do though is to surround yourself around like minded people and try not to put the pressure all on yourself. Express your dreams with people who will understand and support you.
"I put my heart and soul into my work and have lost my mind in the process" - Vincent Van Gogh, remember people creative work is dangerous to your mental health, this has been a public service announcement.
rat Creativity can be a great gift but it is also a huge burden. A burden that when it starts feeling so heavy and so dragging that I set it down just so I can hug it because I love my creativity that much!
It's a blessing and a curse, not everyone has the gift of being creative but those who do posses it run the risk of losing their minds to please somebody else's.
This entire thread is bs. Dont view things that take time and work that way. You devalue what should be appreciated.
*Jazza, thank you so much for making this.* I've been a creative person since I was a kid, but I've also been abused and neglected.
The mental block of being stressed around coworkers, around family members, etc has led me to feel high performance pressure, which paralyzes me from even starting. I've been afraid to make real friends close to me, for fear of being mocked, rejected or backstabbed. I've had an entire community of people throw me under the bus on the basis of someone lying about me.
I want friends, but I don't want to be around anyone, and I want to do my own work rather than waste my time and energy working for someone else. I'll be 36 in just eight days, and I'm not getting any younger. 22 years of suppressed imagination has led to the seeds of great ideas, but my pain, and my psychological addiction keep me from acting on them.
Nothing sates and gratifies my soul more than the flow state of creating good art, or focusing on the writings of my various novel ideas. I don't feel that any "job" will truly satisfy me. My loneliness, reclusive nature and addiction are chains that I must break, in order to unleash my full potential on the world.
I have chronic pain from a type of leukemia, I use art to escape my physical limitations and so far it’s improved my quality of life. I always wanted to be an artist, it’s all I ever really wanted to do. Ive met wonderful people through painting, my girlfriend met me because she liked my artwork. I decided to team up with her and we’re slowly building a following. I sometimes hit a point where stress shuts down my creativity and the pain is all my mind can focus on. Having support makes me feel very greatful, life is hard for everyone and being able to inspire others to create can change someone’s life for the better.
Jazza you inspire so many people and I’m happy to say I’m one of them. I come back to watch this video sometimes, to focus on what it takes to break through that wall of stress. I grew up teaching myself animation and drawing, I can relate as I use to post to newgrounds as a teenager as well . I remember seeing your work along with other major animators. I wish you and your family the best, keep having fun and making cool things!
I just want to let everyone know. You are not alone when you are dealing with issues. Depression, burnt out, etc. Talk to someone, your problems are always relevant. Ask for help to cope with the situations you are in. If you cry, it doesn’t mean you are weak, you are trying to cope with your situation and your feelings are always okay to express. Always try to help yourself to go through everything you are going through
Whispersong I am too trying to make art fun and amazing. Check out and tell me if l m doing good😊😊
Whispersong Thats a really nice saying! But the probem on my burn outs is, that I just can't talk about it. With no one... I just can't.
kaesekuhen ;P Why not?
Whispersong
I dont know. Because its so stupid and sometimes I dont even know myself really what problem I have... Just somehow...
Sounds really stupid :'D
kaesekuhen ;P you aren’t stupid, don’t ever say that about yourself. You are a person and each person has problems that they might not be able to talk about or reach out to someone to talk about your situation. If you are able to contact some therapist online, counselors at school, parents, etc. they are all willing to help you go through a hard time through this and you’ll feel better at the end
Thank you Jazza, just thank you.
I just want to thank you Jazza. I started to follow you not long ago and your creative and amazing artworks have really given me a lot of ideas. I myself like to draw but what I see myself as the most is a writer and as I am struggling with depression, burn outs are something I face a lot, even right now. Watching this video really helped me. Like, I finally got some real advice on how to move away from it even though I know it will come back because of my mental state. This video kinda gave me an idea on how I can overcome it faster and hopefully less painful. So yeah, I wanted to thank you for that so much. Please, keep on doing what you are doing. You are truly an inspiration to more then just artist.
I’ve come back to this video to thank you, Jazza. I’ve been going through a lot of emotional strain, most I don’t understand and am new to.
Today, I finally decided to try some of the advice you’ve given. Specifically, the small meditation sessions. I was simply curled up on my bed, earbuds in, listening to a five minute song that has always spoken to me.
After the song ended, I did the same thing you’d do: I asked myself what I needed.
For once, I got a purely clear answer. It’s so obvious now, and I think I knew it all along. I was always trying to treat it and I was always trying to fix it, even if I didn’t realize it much.
I needed someone who cared.
I hugged myself. I gave myself the reassurance that my family cares, my friends care, and so many others. I told myself that they want to see me happy.
Thank you, Jazza. I want to finally address myself head-on and I want to care for myself. And I want to remember that even those I look up to also experience the wall that is guilt for pain.
Please remember that I care, just as everyone else in this comment section does. This video is old, but maybe you’ll see it, and hey, fate always finds a way.
it rly made my day seing someone actually facing this and talking bout it meaning it serious...its not to long ago i faced a burnout caused by to many project i kept working on for weeks without a break + chores , family and a child (not mine) i take care of...trying to satisfy everyone including me with my art..and then..for no reason it seems everyones complaining bout me...u do this n that wrong etc..that hits my heart like a knife and i suddenly feel so useless and burned out
Ironically, I think this is my favorite piece of content you've shared on your channel. It takes a lot to admit the things you did and then go through the ways to overcome those feelings. I think you should share more stuff like this, it shows you're just like everyone else and face the same struggles.
I feel like I can sum up most of the comments here in just two words "We understand". The fantastic part of an artist making content for other artists is most of us have experienced (on some level) all of these same issues. I can say with honesty that I have never been disappointed with your content and I love how open and honest you are with your followers.
You're doing great Jazza, we're proud of you!
I've been struggling with creative block for about 6 months...ever since I started my new job. I keep thinking it's just because I need to get accustomed to the new hours/schedule. Once I get use to a certain work flow, they change it on me! I'm usually exhausted after work, and weekends I usually try to catch up on housework (so that I don't feel like a worthless bum that doesn't contribute to the home workload), but I haven't made anything in a long time, even though I have a crap ton of stuff I want to make. Like, I have an actual list. I just have no motivation. Or energy. BUT... this video sparked something deep inside just watching it. So maybe there's hope for me yet. Thank you so much Jazza.🥰
@Jazza you are my hero, just remember that when you face burnout/creative block your fans will always stay here with you! I know I will, because your personality and drawings are both amazing and awe inspiring. I’ve been subscribed to you for forever, you make me feel happy at the end of the day. I hope that you’ll get over the block and find even higher success in the future, because you are the future. Love you Jazza, keep going because we all admire your amazing character and your amazing drive in life!
Thank you for this! Your honesty and willingness to share your struggles, as well as tips on how to deal with it is amazing. I especially recognize what you say about overworking. I find this to be true in my profession as a teacher as well. Even when I go home for the day I’m not done. Endless tasks tower over you, and you always feel bad for not having enough time to do all the things you should do. One really does have to learn to say good enough is good enough. I have experienced burnout before, and this video will help me if and when I get to that point again. Thank you!
Hey Jazza, thank you for always being there for your audience, you constantly put out artwork for us and make us laugh with your obnoxious but consistent jokes... Your an inspiration to each any every one of us and I thank you... Although, i do have a question... Is the motto for the channel "I really like the way that turned out", or is it "obnoxious, but consistent"? I've been wondering for a while
+Josh Winter why not both?
YOU ACTUALLY REPLIED!?!?! You have absolutely no idea how long I've just wanted to talk to you... I'm in shock right now...
thank you jazza
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've recently been experiencing a burn out and mental tried feeling. This video helped me a lot to realize and accept that I have been working and pressuring myself too much. Thank you! I'm glad you made this great and helpful video.
Been there multiple times especially most recently. Mix burnout with stress over family related matters and a sick relative who needs me (they need more of me than what's actually left). Basically I'm divided between my husband & stepdaughter, my very sick grandmother, mentally unstable mother, dad who needs my strength (again, what's left of my strength) and finally trying to come up with content for my UA-cam channel and for art projects. No longer have a social life and am exhausted. I just get on with life though so it's good I carry on.
Can't wait to take a break from the worries and get that belated honeymoon with my husband.
Dude.... I’m fine with it if you make a little less content. I’ll have the time to watch all of you’re content🙃
Listin to this guy everyone he knows what he is talking about my life was absolute shit because I just got into my first very bad break up. After watching this video I found out that I have so many other people that love me more than my ex ever did. I was scared to move on because my heart kept going back to her. The only girl that I thought could make it better added me on Snapchat and we started talking I was bored so I asked what I should draw. I drew something depressing but I was happy as hell because I found out how to get out of the hole that I kept digging for myself. Jazza I thought you where just an amazing artist but now you are someone that I look up to. Thank you for everything Im happy again and happier than ever, I can’t let one person who I thought loved me, I need to focus on real people the people who do actually love me. Thank you so much jazza!
A helpful tip I learned for if your mind tends to wander during meditation is this: Imagine a bubble that's your favorite color. Breathe deeply, and each time you breath in, imagine the bubble getting smaller. Each time you breathe out, imagine the bubble getting bigger. It helps you focus and calm down, and it's helped me a lot with my anxiety!
I've got to be honest man. I felt this. It's one of the most authentic videos I've seen on UA-cam for artists. But I really struggle with what you mention in step 2. I also experienced some form of success from making art, but I identified the reason for it being me pushing myself so hard. Like that picture with the wip. And I kept thinking, damn, if I pushed myself and got this far, maybe I should push myself harder and get even further. It made sense in my head. But then I ended up in the mental ward. 2 years later, I'm still in a hole, and my career is lower than when I started. I still love and enjoy making art, but I just don't know how to do it without pushing myself too hard. I don't know how to try and be better without putting my mental health at stake.
Awesome video Jazza, definitely an inspiration for me to keep making videos and doing what I love. Thank you
Lauren Jesson channel pro-mo in disguise
definitely
Lauren Jesson I see this exact same comment on so many videos. XD
One of the best pieces of meditation advice that I've ever heard: Close your eyes and imagine what it would personally feel like to reach your ideal 'meditative' state.
"George is aground, George has outgrown what he could do" - Sondheim
Whenever I get in a rut, I listen to Sondheim's Sunday in the Park w/ George, specifically Lesson #8 and Move on. The former is about that creative block, while the latter is an inspiration to get past it and create.
"Anything you do let it come from you, give us more to see"
This is so relatable. Sometimes you feel like you're at a dead end and drawing is more of a burden than a passion. "Why was I born with this?" kind of thing
I know this is an old video, but I only recently discovered your channel last year & felt the need to comment... I’ve actually found your channel to be exceptionally useful in helping ground myself as an artist and find inspiration. I can relate very much to what you’re saying here. Truth be told, this is the only channel I’ve ever truly found genuine interest in. I adore that, one moment you’re not afraid to do something *crazy* & embarrassing (still making it inspirational & interesting!), whilst on the other hand, you post something like this - very sincere, genuine, and human. I enjoy the feeling you give, that not everything has to be perfect, it’s simply *trying* that matters. Ironically, that’s part of what my channel is about too (just with a different twist). It’s still very much in its infancy, but I hope that one day we could potentially collaborate - if you can fit me in to your very busy schedule 😅. Perhaps we could give each other a challenge? (I also take them, under a project / playlist called *CONQUERED!* 😊). Anyway, I don’t even know if you’ll see this to read, but I hope so. I’m rambling on a bit now, so I’m gonna end it here. Remember that you are awesomeness personified, and please keep up the amazing work (and self care! 😉). Kind regards, Leanne (aka. “Lippy” - based in Yorkshire, UK).
I do not know if this'll reach you Jazza, but this video hit me so hard it left a grown man tear-eyed... I'm a social services student and the continuing pressure and the urge to accomplish have left me in front of this huge-ass wall... Making my sentiments turn upside down, resulting in procrastinating and thus leaving my future graduation on the edge of a knife... I genuinely think your video has now waken me up from the slumber and i can't ever thank you enough!
Sincerely, Jere from Finland
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been in a block for a couple months, and being a creator is hard and to come up with new fresh stuff but “keep it the same” for your audience is rough. Thank you for everything you do! ❤️
thanks you Jazza, I feel as if I'm hitting a wall and about to go through my first creative block, you have really made me feel better
Jazza, thank you. I run a business by creating miniature sculptures then selling them, and I’m always under constant worry that I’m not creating enough of them in a short amount of time. I love my work, and I’m a perfectionist, so my sculptures each take a couple days to make, on top of school. This truly helped me understand that that is okay.
Thank you for posting this. A lot of people go through this problem and we need more people like you. 👍🏻👍🏻🙂🙂
If only I had seen this video earlier... I was telling my friends I felt burnt out and I didn’t know it was the correct term. Didn’t know how to handle it and I just kept drawing and writing thinking that would make it go away on it’s own, but it wasn’t as effective as I believed it would be. Thank you for the tips; I’m glad to have subscribed.
It's good to remember that this works for this other than art.
This video can help so many people.
Please share this to anyone and everyone experiencing something similar.
Thank you for making this video for us Jazza. ;)
Thanks for the advice, I’ve been on this burnout for what seems like years. I still draw but it’s nothing I’m ever proud of. More and more of my work goes unfinished because I lose interest. I don’t have that spark that I used to have in school, I’m not myself. I used to draw all day everyday, but now it’s like I draw a few days a month.
Just started the video but I have to say I KNOW THE FEELING! I'm no professional or even amature by any stretch. I'd say on and off hobbiest because I can't stay motivated. I've been trying to get into writing on and off for the last 2 years, I'm doing it more and more as time goes on but, I'll have two weeks of pure creative energy, Everything is amazing, music is great, I'm digging my Admiral Rodcockers Jammin 80's playlist, the world is full of opportunity and I'm ready to take it on and do amazing things and I'm writing 1000 words minimum every day. Then one day I just can't do it. Everything sucks, I'm tired of listening to my Admiral Rodcockers Jammin 80's playlist containing 359 songs and growing, all music sucks, I can't find new music and the world is grinding me down to a pulp. there is no energy, will to move forward or motivation whatsoever. Donald Trump is ruining my life, why can't we have one normal day? Just one? I hate myself, I have no skills, Ive proven I can't develop them because I can't even stick to a simple routine. Why bother, I'll never make it. This can last weeks. I can get a little bit done here and there but I'm just not into it. At all. It's a vicious cycle. I was out of work for a few months and that just amplified it 2000× fold. I'm on a bipolar upswing right now lol, so I'm looking for as much advice as possible to combat this internal struggle. I'm glad I stumbled on to this, I hope it helps.
Edit. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS JAZZA! I FEEL LIKE AN ABSOLUTE MORON! Ive been trying to run marathons and do as much as I possibly can in one day! It's the same reason why I get sick of video games, then come back to them a month later and think, this game is awesome, WHY DID I EVER STOP PLAYING IT!? I recognized this with the video games long ago, years ago, but I never thought it applied to creative work. This is the main reason why Ive failed to develop as a writer and and an artist. I would have jam sessions where it's like okay, I don't feel like I'm in this head space all the time so I'm going to cram as much shit in as I possibly can. I blame Stephen King. I heard he has a strong work ethic and writes every single day no matter what. So I thought YEAH, I'm gonna be like that! I DONT EVEN LIKE STEPHEN KING, HIS STORY PLOTS ARE CHEESY AND UNINTERESTING! I just respected his work ethic lol. I put to much pressure on myselfz bite of more than I can chew and I end up folding. Also, the last 3 years have been the most stressful and depressing years of my entire life. This year would have been amazing in comparison if not for Donald Trump... Side note, The one positive thing about Ronald Dump is he pulled the pretty face off our extremely corrupt government and opened many people from their sleep. But anyways, thank you Jazza, Ive only seen three of your videos and all have been top notch so far, Ive been meaning to get around to watching your drawing tutorials but I'm a lazy cow lol... But yeah, I just assumed I was alone in my struggle, Thank you man, truly.
I've been in creative block for almost 4 years. Both art block and writers block. I think I'm dead inside.
I have tests at school. I feel pressured. I don't want to let myself down. I don't want to be the worst and I don't want to dossapoint my family. They assure me time and time again that I won't dossapoint them. I know this but I can't get over this. I can't just not do my tests because it's what I need to get a job and survive. I'm 17 and my country is heavily run on education. If you're not smart you won't get anywhere. I tell my friends and try to explain but nowadays everyone is self diagnosing depression. Every day constant anger, sadness, tiredness (not fatigue. Just tired of having to go through everything) I try so much but I either get belittled ridiculed or misunderstood. I don't want to speak to a therapist because I ''have no reason'' to be this way. I have a few more days of tests left. I don't feel good about any of this.
Love you jazza we,the jazza army will always support you
Thanks Mrs. Brooks for the very helpful workhorse metaphor
One of my favorite videos. Great work and good to hear the advice. Keep up the good work
Thank you so so much fgor making this, I've been through a burn out since October and it's been pretty bad, so thank you
Anyone getting some serious Jaiden vibes from this? Just me okay..
BloodlessVenus Meme
Jaiden Animations boi
BloodlessVenus Meme I feel like people are realizing they can be more honest and open with their emotions, which is where this flood of emotional videos are coming from.
Doesn’t mean they weren’t sad before this period of time, they just didn’t share it
BenignBoba You are right! 😊
Cavvie The Artist nope me too
I did
Thank you for all the work you do for this channel. I’m also struggling, I haven’t drawn anything for months. I’m struggling even daily basics, because of my depression ❤️❤️❤️
This helps. I don't know if anyone is gonna read this, but I've recently lost a friendship that meant the world to me. My friend thought it really wasn't a friendship to keep. Now this hit me like a truck with needles strapped to it. But, however hurting this may be, I've kinda learnt how to get back up on my own two feet. I have better things too look forwards to! One of them being that in 2022, on February the 2nd, it's gonna be tuesday. If you don't know what that means, it's gonna look like this: 2/22/22 on a Tuesday. Basically, 2'sday. Think about that.
Also, to anyone who stopped and took the time to read this, thanks. I hope this helps in any way.
A budding friend, Sam Giavedoni.
This encouraged me to start drawing military people again, thanks Jazza!
Mental counselling with jazza
This video helped me realize some thing. I have a freind that is dealing with depression and he is trying to do it alone. Thus video has shown me that I can help him. I sent thus to him to try and hope he gets much better in metal health. Thank you so much for making this video.
There are many versions of meditation. If one doesn't eork for you, try to find one that does. Focussing on breathing freaks me out for example. I do one where I focus on surrounding sounds.
Thanks jazza. You reminded me that i should start meditating again
Taking five art classes and doing some projects for my portfolio and the art club I’m a part of so..yeah the art burnout is real and when it hits it feels like a bag of bricks just fell on top of me.
Demanding Viewer: WHAT IS THIS?!?!?! I WANT DRAWING VIDEOS!!!
Others (Including me.): We love you Jazza! Life's a hard thing!
Thank you. You know your channel probably inspires more than who is subscribed
Needed this. More than I thought I ever would. Thank you.
I have had Burnout for about 3 Months Now, this was really helpful!
when i get artist block, or a burnout, i dont feel as pressured to make art because i dont have many sopurers but i do feel bad. some things i do is a work on an animation because somtimes trying to make my animation smoother helps. another thing is i take requests. request usally get me motivated to create something.
idk tho
I saved this in my Blender playlist for me to find later when I need it.
although its great advice for drawing and anything creative. but for emotional times and hard times... love you Jazza!
Idea: Glass ink pen, make your own ink.
Draw a female shinobi with a sword?
i've been experiencing this lately, and this was exactly what i needed to hear. so much so that i may have had a much needed cry after.
thank you for sharing this.
I get so frustrated from having nothing to draw.. Its so depressing. Thank you for posting this. You help me so much.
Amazingly encourageing cause I'm just 15 and I wanna be a UA-camr but this is one thing I feared , the end ... But this video has made me realize that your the script writer and you decide the end , thanks so much for making this video Jazza this was very inspiring !! Love you !
This video was brave because we like the drawing videos but everyone understands and its nice to have a serious video
This really helped thanks JAZZA
Thank you for sharing your experience with this, and I know how hard it is to to do that
Sorry Jazza we didn’t mean to make u feel pressured. I love u, ur singing, ur fam and ur personality. Ur an open book; really honest, so I don’t care what u deside to do; I support u and I know everyone else does too. We still have some of ur good/memories from all ur videos so u do u and well keep on watching
“ The fans that quit on u for being u aren’t true fans; the real fans are the ones who say by ur side and love u for u” -Christine Savage(me)
Seeing Jazza crying at the beginning was so painful.
i cant make anything when i think about how much pressure there is in everything i do. my art is the only reason why i had free education. thanks for this vid it helped me a lot :')
This is very inspirational jazza! Thank you 😊
I'm going through the same thing and this really helps.....thank you Jazza.
I needed this. Thanks Jazza!
I.. Think I have tried a burn out before.. I felt like everyone hated me.. Because the thing that "started it", or.. Just made the thought in my head, was when my class played rounders, and it was with 1. and 2. chooser of teams. Me and my friend was the last standing, and then she got chosen, and I stood there left. Then I waited for the other team to choose me, but instead they said that they chose the ball.. The teacher said that they couldnt, but they just said that I was too bad, and they didnt want me on their team. I could just feel the tears comming, and I just wanted to die in that moment. Some of my friends came over to me, and helped me, and they shouted at them, but I was still feeling like they hated me. But of course I thought that they liked me, my friends. But that thought soon got changed..
Some days later I asked one of my best friend if we could go home to me after school, and she said she didnt have time. Then another person asked her if she wanted to go home to him and bake a cake,(they didnt know I was listning because I was about to go home.) and she said she could ask.. The next day I heard the boy saying: "Me and :the friend: made this cake yesterday!" My first thought: "Did she just act like she was my friend?" and I walked around thinking that EVERYONE hated me, also my friends.. I felt like I would never be loved... I really felt like I could just die, without anyone caring! I still get those thoughts randomly, and I always get them, if I get sad or angry. Feeling like no one is caring about you is really bad.. I dont know if Im still burned out, I could be..
But the worst part of it was, I was too scared to tell anyone. And I am still, and I just hope no one I know see this comment... And I just hide it. I hide it all..
But my "new" best friend (She isnt a new one, we have known each other for a long time, but it was just so you didnt think it was the other friend with the cake and stuff..) and I, we really "need" each other. In a way. She doesnt have that many friends in our class, and I dont have either! Because Im too scared to be let down again..
But sorry for the LONG comment :)
And thanks for your time
Thanks. This is the video I needed right now. You're really an inspiration, Jazza.
Good video, I'm feeling better now :D thank you!
What Does Burn Out Mean?
Art block and burnouts are temporary.
*but DOOM is eternal*
Thanks for this video 💕💕
Thank you for this video.
Inspirational bro! You're such an amazing artist!! Everyone's with you!
AWESOME Vid, JAZZA!!!!! Thanks for the advice.
I'm burning out for over a year now. Being in a relationship with a mental ill person for 3 years is nearly killing me. My whole life is only rotating around him and his illnes and there is no more room for me.
I first thought that i could deal with his illnes but i over estimated myself and all the work that would come with him.
He can go from happy to destroying everything within a second. I constantly waiting for him to freak out again and i can't let go of that presure. I can't feel happy or creativ anymore because everytime i do he is either bragging about how down he feels or he complains why i'm not taking care of other stuff.
I have to care for him like a mother.
I can't take some "me" time and i can't restore my energy.
I tryed to end the relationship but his family and friends begged me to stay with him. I first didn't understandy why and thought that they supported me and the relationahip with him. But the actual case is that they are sick and tired of his behavior and because of his realtionship and moving in with me took all the responsibility from them away.
They keep saying that his downs are just a phase but it's a awful long phase.
I can't take it any longer.
Being with him kills me.
I have to function but i'm so burned out.
I don't have time to recover.
Lillith Pan Ignore the family.Do what you think is best
Kiti Kat I try. But i don't have any energy right now
Lillith Pan make time for yourself to get that energy back no matter what
Sincerely Haylee Thank you. It feels good to talk about it.
I'm not trained at all and he didn't act that way when we first met or on the first year of our relationship. He slowly started changing and i don't see or think that it will get better in the future.
He had profesdional help but i doesn't want to take his medication anymore and refuses any professional help.
I tryed to talk to him about it but that made the situation only worse.....he even threded me that he would kill himself.....now i'm scared to say anything because i really don't want him to comit suicide.
Right now i'm secretly looking for a new job and home so i can...."get rid" of him.
Lillith Pan Why If he's refusing professional health (even threatening suicide to make you stay), and expects you to take care of him, your relationship needs to come to a close for your mental health. You need to break it off before he becomes more toxic. Do you have anywhere where I can talk to you privately?
This really helped A LOT, thank you Jazza!
Thanks so much for this
Thanks .. this helped
Jazza you are AMAZING and thank you so much for this. Your videos have made me laugh daily and have helped me improve my skills in art. You are truly awesome
This video helped me so much. Thank you
What a wonderful video. This is about the most honest, helpful and inspiring thing I have watched in a long time. Authenticity is an important leadership characteristic and Jazza you are seen by a lot of people as a leader, we look to you almost daily for inspiration, education and fun. That brings pressure and admitting that you are not superhuman makes you someone genuine and someone we can all believe in. I am glad you are in a better space and I look forward to watching your videos in 2018.
This is really good man, I feel like I’m slowly losing interest in drawing and stuff and I don’t want to but I think this definitely helped me out!
MeAndMyself you're stuff is great dude, I hope you keep going happily for a long time
MeAndMyself i feel the same thing..sometimes i just wanna give up
DO YOU NEED A HUG
NO BUT DO YOU NEED A HUG
Random Commenter Yes please

No i dont need a hug but i need a hug
Yes
NAh
Ugh been there before. Several times. It sucks :/
Chad Alan Yeah many many times but I try and fight it oh btw hi chad!
Why do people think it's a good idea to tell a struggling person that they have gone through that too. Is that supposed to help? Is it going to make them feel better or what?
he isnt going to reply he is a busy person look at his channel
HSYN Then people know that they aren't alone. And because he has a popular channel, he will maybe someday meet Jazza and then they can talk about this. Not saying it's likely though
Chad Alan oh hey chad
Jazza thank you so much for doing this video, it really helps a lot. I recently started posting speed paints on UA-cam and you're one of the reasons I keep going cause you're my motivation. Thank you!
Angel Ganev your art is actually nice!!
Angel Ganev Keep strong!
Angel your art is so beautiful, been following you on IG and Twitter for a while now idk why I was surprised to see you here XD I'm glad you're posting videos, that's awesome!
Kelly B Holy shit Kelly! 😂💙
Kelly B I said Holy Shit because I did NOT expect you to be here. Lmfao. I miss you. I messaged you other day. D:
Brilliant video Jazza. I'm proud of you for being open about it, and thankful that you're sharing it with everyone :)

I was crying while watching this. School has been increasingly stressful lately, my parents thought I was just being lazy and flippant... but it was more than that.
I was trying to work full time, take college courses and work on my art. For weeks I have felt exhausted, blowing my budget on eating crap food and coffee to get anything done.
But I am emerging from it, and I know I will be alright. It is hard to let go because of the shame of poor grades and my health, but I'm so grateful for this.
I am sorry for the vent/rant but I was so relieved after watching this, thank you so, so very much.

If you feel its a place you feel comfortable talking about your feelings then vent away
I have had a difficult time lately and in the past and this is a wonderful community.. so if you want to vent then vent cause it helps when you do :) ❤
Chloe O'Neill thank you :) I hope you are feeling better too! ❤
Reilly Azul I like your profile picture

Know that we will always support you and will understand whatever it is you need to do, whether it be a break from the channel or just a series of videos about whatever you feel like.

This is exactly how I've been feeling for a long time. It's why I haven't uploaded. Just now slowly starting to get over it but this was a tremendous help. You're the man, Jazza! Anyone going through it needs this advice. :D
I cant believe no one liked your comment, heres one from me :)
Create what you want when you want and your true fans won't demand any more from you. I'm only a recent subscriber but I've got a pretty high amount of respect and appreciation for you. You're my inspiration to get into drawing. My point is your well-being is important to us and we understand you are HUMAN just like us. And we understand you have a life outside of your show. 😄also thanks for the video! Stay Awesome
So amazing of you to share such a tough experience. Bravo!
Since we're all so creative we can tire ourselves from being too amazing. I wouldn't urge you to stop being amazing but to take a break from your creativity and come back when youre ready to make something wonderful
SmileyFreak yes.thst helps for me too.

Well said. I was just about to comment that

WHY THE HELL WOULD PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS VIDEO?????
i swear if someone brings up the "dis i like" joke im 'bout to fight
Maxie Doe maybe they thought it said
"DIS-I-LIKE" instead of dislike
Ikr
Maybe they thought the video was too sappy or it didn't make them laugh I don't know.
