Do what you need to do man. Nothing on the internet is worth crushing your physical and mental health over. It’s ok to take time off. We still love you Donut.

Panic attacks are freaking serious man… been there and am thankful every day one doesn’t show up… do what makes you happy and relaxed

[Photogromer]

I made my last YouTube video 8 months ago and it hasn't been stress free over here (3 kids and adulting) but it is one less stress off my shoulders. The feeling of disappointing your subscribers which you once worked so hard to earn is overwhelming and makes your mind constantly think how to provide them with the best and latest content. In the end, the only way I found to turn that thought off is by quitting entirely. Unless you're truly happy making content and don't care about the results of that content then you're just trying to satisfy an endless craving of content that YouTube viewers demand. I've been to the hospital twice, once thinking I was having a heart attack, turned out to be an anxiety attack and the other from a stress headache that lasted days that I thought was more serious. In the end, you gotta start removing things or activities in your life that add to your stress. An editor might take a burden off or it might add a different one. If you can't enjoy a vacation without worrying about creating content then yeah I feel for you. Good luck brother, stay away from what's causing panic attacks and continue to make changes around what's best for you. Everyone else will understand or isn't worth worrying about. Cheers.

I’m right there too man. It’s a grind . It’s trying to live up to expectations. It’s the pressure we put on ourselves.

Donut, I’m a 43 old veteran that was invincible and would push everything down until my son was born when I was 39. The last 3 years I’ve been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. 2 years ago I started to make changes for the positive. I understand and do what’s best for you. Much love.

As someone who has been diagnosed with Panic Disorder since 2018 things do feel horrendously bad the first few months to a year. Especially if you dont find ways to cope with the episodes. Glad to hear you will be making things easier on yourself. Your body and mind will thank you in spades.

Admitting that your struggling is the biggest step into getting your head straight, panic attacks are the real deal.
Take it easy man, enjoy what you do and do it with a smile

[xxfalconxx]

As long as your good we’re fine with any of your choices

[RIGHTEOUS_RAGE]

Sup donut. I feel you on this, brother. Happened to me the other day. Comes out of nowhere and it's super difficult to control. It stems from all the shit we watch and put into our brains. Hits you all at once. Take care of yourself, man. You are just as important to us as we are to you!!!! Love ya, bro.

[PoeBoys]

Oh brother the struggle of a Channel that people don’t understand. There are more people than you know rooting for you too.

Take your time and get your channels where you want to be. 100% worth the investment for the future.

Im watching the vids either way though🤙🏼

[bdavis]

It's good that you share this stuff, gives people a more realistic perspective that not everyone is a stoic machine that never fails or falters.

[johnchalupa]

No matter how much money people have, issues such as anxiety and panicking are still just as valid. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself Donut and I hope you'll be able to spend more time focusing on things other than work.

[Mousyy]

As someone with severe anxiety that effects me on a daily basis, can confirm that panic attacks are absolutely terrible, they can make you feel like you're dying or worse. (that it'd be better if you we're.) No hard feelings about the vlog's, just make sure you take your time decompressing. We want a happy and healthy donut! ❤

[benparker]

You broke my heart for a second. I love your channel and do what's best for you man. Dont overwork yourself, and dont think we're worth that much. If someone doesnt appreciate you and hates it when you take a break, then screw them. You do you man, hope things get better for you

[jlabate]

Sorry to hear that brother. I had horrific anxiety in my late 20s (40s now) that brought me to the edge of suicide. Not even playing. It gave me stomach ulcers, headaches, cronic fatige and depression. I had it for a year solid without diagnosis and had no idea what was wrong with me and after I opened up to some close friends and family things started to improve. For me my faith in God and changing my mindset from being a negative pessimistic person to being positive and light hearted person helped tremendously. Don't be afraid to see a decent psychologist. Do your best to stay off the meds that they are going to push on you, they only inhibit the process. Keep your head up, things will get better I promise. I'll be praying for you brosanski even if you don't want me to.

[davidchinea]

Cody sincerely love the channel and couldn’t even begin to imagine your level of stress. We’re all human m, take care of yourself and just have fun brother!!!

[adamwilliams]

I'm excited to see what the future holds, and extremely glad your watching out for health. No Donut No good. Keep Donut.

[henryortiz]

I feel your pain brother ! I retired because I was diagnosed with PTSD . I suffered a lot of panic attacks and tried to hide it . Guess what I couldn't ! I know how you feel please take care of yourself brother ! Be safe and stay safe !

[tylerb]

Take care of yourself Donut, you have one of the best possible support groups around you and we all want to see you at your best. Take care and thank you for being real. 👍

[athcenturysuitofgothicarmor]
