Feeling Down

Been feeling down lately. Which is odd considering things are going really well. I’ve got a lot of ambition but I feel a lack of focus. Anyway, just wanted to talk some things out with you guys.

[@rellik3235]

What your thinking mark isn't wrong at all, in fact I've been thinking the same thing, we all want to be and mean something even after we do alot, the world is messed up and there's so much more we can do to better it, keep doing what your doing and try to do more if that's what you truly want and no matter what, we will support you

And you already do so much for the community and we are so grateful for having you and for the things you do. If you want to do more for the community, then all I can say is the sky is the limit.

Also for those who decided NOT to commit suicide because marks videos and words help him, their world is very different. For me personally, if I hadn't found Mark I NEVER would have ended up getting into lets plays. I would't be watching him, Jack, or 8 Bitryan (which is basically all I do on youtube now). So the way I spend my freetime is also very different from what it would otherwise be had he not done lets plays on youtube.

[@LetMeExplainStudios]

Something I'm realizing as I grow in this job is the never ending need for "more." It's this trap that success can lead people into; a bottomless rabbit hole of more opportunities, more accomplishments, more projects, more of a legacy. You reach the next milestone, but it quickly becomes not enough. You check an item off your list and another gets added. And you step back and realize it's just another drug, just another high you're chasing. Self-checking that feeling is really hard, especially in our line of work. I get what you're feeling. You're not the only one.

It can be hard on making decisions what could be more helpful or joyful to the populace that is culture or population.

I'm not a psychologist. I don't claim to be. But I have spent a lot of time working with them and something I am hearing in this and that I have heard from you before, Mark, is concerning to me. You speak a lot about wanting to leave a change on the world which is a good goal tied intrinsically to human nature, but I worry about the lense you are seeing it through. I don't know that you will ever see this comment but to anyone struggling with something similar I encourage you to try and view the impact of your current contributions. Mark, you may feel you haven't changed the world because your worldview feels largely the same, but you absolutely have. All the young people who have found peace and joy in your content while struggling with anxiety and depression, for example. To them? You changed the world. To some of them you gave them the world again when all they saw was darkness that no one else could shed a light on. Those young people will go on to have successful lives and families should they choose and you contributed to making that possible. All your charity streams have helped so many. Not only do they raise money, but they inspire others to give and continue to do so. You play a large part in supporting organizations that do so much good in the world. Getting their message out and inspiring people to give. I could go on but this is already getting long. My main point is that you don't need to and honestly shouldn't try to view your contributions to the world by how you have shaped your own worldview. It is rarely satisfying and you will always see more to do than you have done because you have a kind heart that wants to help. I encourage you to take a moment, maybe once a week, and try to think of the ripple effect your accomplishments have to help others. When I struggled with this I set a goal for myself and for a few months I would go once a week and volunteer at a donation center somewhere in my community. While I was there I would try to think of all the good each package I made could do. It made everything feel so much more special and helped me to see those positives in my everyday life. Whatever works for you, to anyone who can find this helpful, merely being alive and waking up today has created so many opportunities that the world wouldn't have had if you hadn't. Everything you do, big or small, can change the world. Helping just one person, even if it is you, may not fix all the problems across the globe but for that person you may have just given them the world and that is beautiful.

Mark, I think that you are looking in the wrong direction for happiness. I, like you, am a 'go getter' and am always looking to the next thing to bring fulfillment and happiness in my life. I have found that (when I am able to) living in the moment and taking true appreciation in what I already have, is the only path to lasting happiness. You must look within to find inner peace. Looking to the next project or idea etc. will not bring a feeling of accomplishment and happiness that is lasting. It took me an awful long time to figure that out and I constantly battle with the need of 'the next best thing'. Perhaps saying this to you is my way of trying to recapture that same feeling of fulfillment that is found in complacency. It is a constant struggle but one worth fighting. Good luck Mark...and I know as sure as the day is long I will need that same luck myself! Cheers!

I say this with the upmost sincerity, I think your ambition has burned you out to an extent. I'm not saying to stop being you, not at all. You're so focused on "[your] future, your friend's future, humanity's future," etc. and there's nothing wrong with preparing for the future, but I think you're so set on what's going to happen tomorrow or what your 30s are going to be defined by, that you feel like today is passing you by which makes you feel glum. I've had concerns similar to yours to where it nearly consumed me and the only thing I could think about was the future and what I was going to do. It was miserable because I couldn't enjoy being in the now. My mom still tells me now to take life one day at a time. Nothing wrong in preparing for the future, but don't spend your life worried or stuck thinking about it. Enjoy your life, man. You've got friends, family, and pets that love you dearly, and they wouldn't want you to feel down because you're thinking about the future of everyone. Enjoy your life. Don't feel that you have to "define" your 30s or any other age. Life is different for everyone. I'm still trying to figure out mine. Don't whittle your's away trying to figure it out for everyone else.

[@regicide5521]

@Markiplier According to psychology, a man/woman about to be in his 30s or in his 30s goes through what is called a "Mid-life Crisis". Basically it's everything you say, you look back at your life and think what to do want more. "Many middle-aged adults experience major life events that can cause a period of psychological stress or depression", you want and think you can do more which is good. But this might be an explanation to what you feel, but even if it wasn't as humans we want to be better people. You have potential and if you want to do more you do it! Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the ride that is life. (P.S If you do see this Hi)

We all know how busy you always are and how busy you like to be so maybe try some crazy ideas you've got back there in your head or maybe just lie down and let your thoughts collect.

Mark, this melancholy feeling is probably because you’re a little stressed. You just launched cloak and you’re having fun on the channel and all but because you’re putting out so much content so fast that you’re now subconsciously preparing for the future. And the more you think of the future, the more scenarios you create for yourself, and overall you’re just over stressing yourself. And also, slow down! I know you stated that you were bored and you wanna do more and more but the more you do now, the less you have later, and eventually, you’ll run out of things to do and you’ll get bored again. All you should do know is take like a week long break, chill out, have fun with Chica, sleep in, and discover new music. Mark, you’re amazing and you have inspired me and many other people. Don’t worry, you’re fine. Now relax and chill out.

Depression can creep on upon anyone mark. It can come in waves. These waves can be short, long, really frequent, or really delayed. From what I/we recall, you've gone through a lot this year, starting a clothing brand, losing loved ones, doing things that most people wouldn't even believe they would be able to do in their life time. You move people, more then you think. And those people will move you back. But sometimes, despite all the good, and the bad that happens. Depression will always find a way to sneak up on you, and put a dark cloud over your head. It makes you feel like you have a sense of continued dread over you. Not so much that you'd be worried for your safety or someone else's safety. But more along the lines of you being overly careful about what actions you end up doing which, if left unchecked. These actions will start running your life, more then you want them to. You gotta try your damnedest to manage your life and what you wish to do, and even what you wish to feel. If you're missing something, try to achieve it. Now... With all that being said. I know you want to go out and do more mark, and by all means go for it. But be warned. I've seen people try to go forward, go beyond youtube. And some of those people are quite successful, and others aren't. Not saying you wouldn't be, its pretty clear that you are extremely successful with how you've built yourself and your channel. It's just. "WE" don't want to watch you go down a road that you're not ready to handle. You might not be able to handle it. Hell, you might BE able to handle it, but it might become a bit to much later on. It all depends on whether or not you're ready for that change. Whatever you wish to do mark. Make sure you think it over first before doing it. We will support you throughout the whole journey. It's just we also don't want to watch you fall off halfway through either, because you weren't ready. Sure, failing is a learn experience. But failing continuously isn't something you would want to do. Which is what I/a lot of use fear would happen to you... We don't want to see you become demotivated, to the point where you stop trying, and give up. Hopefully, that won't ever happen. Regardless. Best of luck though with everything. You changed a lot since I/a lot of us have found you. From the first time I found you steaming SCP-087b to now. You've changed and grown a massive fuckton. *Aside from height I guess :P* And I sure the hell hope you continue to grow and expand to as many people as possible, to leave your "mark" in everyone's heart and so forth.

I have to say Mark, I know exactly how you feel. New year's eve 1998 my dad died. I was 12. 10 years later I felt really down, and didn't even connect the dots. Obviously I feel down every year. Then this year it was 20 years (I'm not old, not old! 32 is not old dammit). And it has hit me so hard, and again more subconsciously. I started to question everything in the world. I started avoiding facebook and the news because of the depressing stories everywhere. And more importantly I wish I could do more to help those in need. And it's saddens me so much that I can't. But your videos, they have been a constant bright spot. Your infectious enthusiasm, the raging and the laughs. The jump scares and the honesty. Every single one has had me laughing, crying and just feeling better knowing that there are people like you out there. So thank you. Because of you, I have decided to give streaming a try as a way to talk through random things, whether people are there listening or not, it's an outlet. Thank you for just being you

Respect your feelings, talk about them. Life is a puzzle, and this bored feeling is a part of it. No one has everything figured out one hundred percent of the time. “People will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget the way you made them feel.”- Maya Angelou

I always see you in other comments. And, I'm gonna be completely honest. That's was the most beautiful short sentence I have seen in a long time. Please don't change. Keep being awesome:D

There are things in life we don't understand. The sudden bouts of unease and loss of direction can strike at anytime and will hit anyone. It can happen to the young, the old, the simple and complex, to the carefree and doubtful. It comes and goes but the memory will stay, like an imaginary chill clinging to your spine. It's up to the person whether the memory haunts or is forgotten

Hey, Mark, we are always here for you dude, need a break? take a break, we can wait. Anyway, maybe take a look back into that music thing you tried to start a while back

[@lonerider3076]

He doesnt want a break..he wants something to do more.

Mark honestly u have done so so much for your fans for your friends and you brighten peoples day just by posting a video evan jf it is just u eating pretzels. It good its funny and we love you because you are you. Dont stop being you amd if you need a break take one we wont mind xx ❤️

[@Krzear]

@@J215J What about music, that thing he started to do a while ago but we haven't heard anything since?

[@gabbls_]

3 years later. I'm feeling pretty down, too. I have dreams and things I want to do that I just don't have access to yet. It feels like I want to do so much and nothing at all at the same time. I don't exactly know why, but it's just there. I can't stop thinking about sad things. However, I'm still here and I can still do what I want to do. You inspire so many, Mark. I love you for the positive impact that you've given to so many, including yourself. I constantly come back to you because you make me smile and laugh. I appreciate everything you've done. We love you very much Mark. ❤️

[@Deneberus]

Mark, I think your at the beginning of a midlife crisis. Everything you've said in this video certainly fits the description. Your's has probably taken the shape of workaholism. I know you said that you crave working yourself to the bone, but be careful that you don't burn yourself out and start resenting your job. Best of luck to you and your future.

[@meggz35]

Dr. Game I think you mean quarter life crisis, lol. Mark isn’t nearly old enough to have a midlife crisis! 😉 But I definitely agree with you!

[@ElidaMFH]

I cried. It's unbelievable how you manage to put my feelings into words. I relate so much. I'm currently battling depression, and I believe a big precursor to this hopelessness I keep feeling is the knowing that I want something to strive for. I crave to feel that I have a purpose and that I change the world for the better everyday. I feel a strong desire to move forward, but I just can't seem to figure out where to start and where I want to go. What am I good at, what do I want to do with my life? This feeling of wanting to achieve something and the lack of hope and direction really fuels any depression, and my depression really blocks the light I'm trying to find. Thank you for being you. Once again you put my feelings into words and show us that we are not alone.

[@MelonSqueezy]

Mark, you always make me feel like there's more I could achieve in life but I could never know what. Just being here and watching your videos brings all sorts of good emotions. Even when you say you're a little down you let "us" know and try to sort it out with "us". KZbin doesn't have a lot of Creators like you these days I feel. More people are making content for the sake of making content and that's perfectly fine, It's great. But you, you seem like you make videos to better the lives of all of us. You inspire us to do our best. I'm watching this at 3:30 at night I'm so happy that I did. At night everyone sleeping so all you have is your own thought and you see things that you don't see in the day because the day is always occupied so night time is sometimes a great time think and reflect on your own thoughts and ideas. "Carpe Noctem 'Seize The Night.' " Thank You, Mark ❤.

[@fabihaazim7663]

it's 5:57am. im currently sitting in the same spot ive been in for eleven months. all the days are the same. i barely leave the house or my bed. im stuck in my own unmotivated mind, stuck in learned helplessness. I can't make myself do productive things. im wasting my life and life is stuck right now in this pandemic. this video made me see where I want to be in the future once im past this but where I could be if only i help myself and change my own mind. I keep waiting for the pandemic to end to say ill be back being successful but I can reframe my mind to make the days matter. im super stubborn and it's easier said than done, but maybe I can do it. I need my motivation back

[@AmyMichelle777]

[@_Chaotix]

Be safe and take some time off, Mark. Your mental health is very very important. Feel free to take a step back and breathe. Stay strong, honey. Edit now that I've watched the whole video: You do so much for this community and so many others, Mark. Yes, the potential to always do more is there, but sometimes you can't really push yourself to change things. You've left such an impression on this world, Markimoo, and we are all so proud of you for all you've done so far, and we will support you no matter what you do, honey. I hope you have a great day, and I hope you feel better.

[@ToriDuell]

I know you probably won’t get the chance to read this, but it would probably be a good idea to talk with a professional therapist. Some of the things you say get me a little worried Mark, sometimes it sounds like the things that I say when I’m extremely down. It kind of sounds like you’re having a low-key existential crisis that you’re just sort of handling pretty well. Please take care of yourself and spend a lot of time with your dog Chica she will help you a lot.

[@gia380]

YOU ARE NOT WHINING OR COMPLAINING!!!! You’re probably anxious, it’s ok. We’re always here for you

[@vicious_cycle]

I know I'm a couple months late, but I just wanted to say that you're such a great person, Mark. You bring so many people so much joy, I admire your charity work, and I'm really grateful for your videos. I'm not always feeling, well, happy. And whenever I get really down, one of my favorite things to do to cheer myself up is to watch some of your videos. Your funny ones for a good laugh or some your deeper, more meaningful ones to put a smile on my face. You never fail to make me feel better, even when life is really difficult and heavy. I know you don't know me, and that I'm just another person in this comment section, and that you may not even see this, but I just wanted you to know how much I, and so many other people, appreciate you. Thank you so much, for everything that you do. And I really hope that now, a couple months after you posted this video, that you're feeling much happier.

[@cbuck1669]

Volunteer at a local place. Whether its a dog shelter or a soup kicthen or a goodwill or whatever, even though your impact there would from a mathmatical standpoint not nearly as effective as the amount of money you've donated to charity, seeing the faces of the people and animals you help does wonders for the mind.

[@matthewknight388]

Or try doing one of those house building projects for the poor. Manual labor for a charitable goal is one of the most rewarding endeavors I've ever done despite the fact that it doesn't have massive impact.

Mark, we all humans. We are complicated. Sometimes we feel down and confused and there's no justification behind that feeling. This sounds so fucking cliché but It's ok to feel like shit every now and then, honestly, I'd be surprised if you didn't. But these types of feelings don't usually last forever, just remember that. Your community loves and support you, always.

[@nathanp5877]

I think part of the reason I relate and admire Mark so much is that I get this too! Always wondering if I can do more with my life. I know i have a greater purpose, we all do. I just havent found mine yet. Thanks Mark, for everything you do. And I am so proud of this community!! 😊🥰
