 2018 has been a pretty rough year for H3H3 Productions, but has he learned anything? What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and real quick did you hear a brand new book boom Rewire your anger it's out now you can download it by the way I get so many people who are like I don't have a Kindle I can't download your book the Kindle app is free if you have a smartphone or a tablet or a computer pretty much whatever you're watching this video on right now you can get the book so I just want to clear that up real quick but yeah anyways I made some videos about H3H3 this year since he's been talking a lot about his depression and woohoo the internet has not been happy with him like I was just doing some research right before this video to kind of check and see what's going on and I man man so those of you who don't know so H3H3 he was one of the first like I don't know I don't know if he was like one of the first like commentators but he was one of the first like calling out other youtubers on just kind of like not so great content but this year with his kind of ups and downs and like breaks from making videos and focusing more on the podcast and then he came out with his new app and just the internet lost it but yeah I've done some videos just about his depression and talking about that and H3H3 like Ethan has brought up a conversation of like are people using depression as an excuse and that's a whole nother video and I think I've talked about it in past videos but anyways I want to talk about like now that we're coming to the end of 2018 has Ethan learned anything right and I think it's important so those of you who've been following my channel I've been talking about how when you start looking at people who are doing well with their mental health and look at them for inspiration and try to learn from them and say what are they doing what is this person doing so I kind of got the idea for this video like right after I watched um Ethan and Elah's new video about the Fine Brothers and like I was laughing like I was actually laughing and like here's the thing I I have never been a huge H3H3 fan like I think like Ethan's like kind of funny but he's not like something that I watch all the time that's legit not funny not funny that is legit funny you know hold up you're the one that doesn't hold up you're gonna when the world starts being as fended by Seinfeld we've gone too damn far you know and when I watched the video that he made like I was cracking up I'm like this is great maybe it's because I grew up with like Seinfeld even though I wasn't obsessed with Seinfeld but like you can see this change in him right you could see a difference in him and something that he talked about during his depression and this is why it kind of blows my mind when people think that he was just BSing about his depression you can see the difference like if you watch their newest videos and you watch some of the other ones from earlier this year you can see like a difference in confidence a different in passion a difference in like the humor that they're using right and that's the thing about depression like and he's talked about this it's just he hasn't been motivated to make these videos so what's changed what's changed like the last video I made about him we were talking about how he started taking antidepressants finally and he started seeing a therapist and like one of the things that I hope all of you took away from that last video is quit causing your own misery for so so long like Ethan had all of these thoughts in his head like you know having depression and getting help for it it's kind of like the wimps way out and stuff like that but like so many of us get to a point where like when that when the pain gets so bad we finally get help and then he was like why did I wait so long why did I wait so long and you can see like anybody who is watching people and kind of analyzing people the way I do like you can legit see the change in him like if you're an h3a3 fan watching this video right now tell me if I'm crazy tell me if I'm crazy down in the comments below and tell me if you see the difference to between his content from earlier this year and some of his most recent content and his last few videos but the other thing I want to touch on was last night I was listening to his just a clip from his most recent podcast with Jack's films and like this is what really inspired me like this just made my night last night okay so Jack's films was talking about you know YouTube burnout and kind of just like the laws in his content and this is something that a lot of comedy creators struggle with and Jack talks about how he's like looking at his old archive and all that stuff but anyways you see Ethan just say bro you try therapy yet being in the right state of mind I think would work wonders are you in therapy I am not in therapy personally but for me it's been huge yeah because I've been in a rut and I always thought of therapy as some like I was like ooh smell your own ass while I'm at it therapy but I swear to God it's helped me a lot and Jack's like what? And Ethan just starts talking about how like therapy has been so beneficial to him he starts talking about how like this outside perspective this objective point of view is so beneficial and I'm like yes yes yes that's what I'm trying to tell you guys like like Ethan has ELA right Ethan has his other friends and support group but it's sometimes difficult to get an unbiased opinion from them right because maybe they don't want to hurt your feelings or maybe maybe they've been sucked into your story over the last years too so they're seeing everything that you're seeing but when you bring in a therapist somebody with a completely outside point of view to kind of talk about it with you that can start giving you more clarity right and that's something that Ethan's talking about so like this is one of the reasons like you should all try therapy but plus they're gonna give you different tools and things that you can use to kind of get out of your own funk but what I'm getting at is I love that Ethan Ethan is somebody in the community right who is a trash talker he has you know his own like kind of like dirty sense of humor and stuff but he's connected with all these other bigger youtubers and he's showing them like yo it's okay to go to therapy yo it's okay to like try taking some anti-depressants like if you're struggling with your mental health you don't have to that is a choice that you are making and like you kind of saw it like in the look at like Jack's Jack's films I was like oh wow so like that that's just really really inspirational to me and that's one of the reasons I make these videos like I was like this is just something that's normal for me now I posted over on my Instagram by the way follow me on Instagram if you're not yet when Rachel Oates who just did we just did a collab together to when she was talking about me in her live stream but didn't know I was in her live stream but what she was talking about is how you know I'm a I'm a man who doesn't have a problem opening up about mental health and my feelings and emotions and all that and like the thing is for me I don't even think it's that big of a deal it's just something that I've been doing for the last six plus years and starting to work on my mental health it is just normal to me and that's one of the reasons I have this channel is because I want it to be normal I don't want it to be some weird thing like I have guys like other men who come to my channel like oh hey look at this who's talking about his feelings like I am an emotionally healthy who's and I will take that all day long baby so I'm glad that Ethan is somebody else out there who has more connections in the YouTube community and showing other youtubers that it's okay to not only talk about your mental health but to get help for your mental health to not only talk about the problem but to get into the solution you see what I did there but anyways anyways that's all I got for this video I'm super proud of Ethan and I'm gonna do some more videos on other creators who are doing well with their mental health and what you can learn from them to try to improve yours as well alright but anyways let me know down in the comments below like again have you seen a change in Ethan like between this last few videos and the videos he was doing earlier this year let's have a conversation down below but anyways that's all I got for you with this video if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon we got some new names up on this list right here so if you would like to become a patron and get some exclusive content make sure you click or tap right there all right thanks so much for watching I'll see you next time
