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.
no ,that's normal for ambitious people>>>>they always feel they are not doing enough no matter what! when you start to feel you are doing enough ,you will stop making progress. because your mind hates to feel uncomfortable , and it will do whatever it takes to feel better . and as he says ,he is looking for future , because that's what matters for a human, the future ,the past doesn't really matter . i can see that mark feels empty , like existence of a jewel for no reason.( and that's just guess ) i really thank him for giving us such a unique experience , i can only see from this, learning a lot about life.
Mark's humanity is one of the few things that make me hopeful for the future of our people and this planet as a whole. Thank you Mark so much, just for being you.
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.
@@ahlyae Check out "NF-Why" or any of his songs. He has very relatable/real lyrics and if you don't like rap he has different styles of music so give em a chance 😊
This video was posted almost a year before Unus Annus started. And now that it’s over and after seeing his post Morten video it is such a wholesome feeling seeing the transition from this video to now.
You HAVE changed the world, but remember that the world is also BEYOND RUclips. You love RUclips, but remember we're beyond this media. You can find more beyond it, and still reach us, and more. That could be a change and growth to look into..
Krosis Games just because it’s the same for you doesn’t mean it’s been the same for somebody else. Which with mental health and entertainment there has been changed.
@@Markone99 For you maybe. But for the people who have needed the help of the charities that he has raised money for, the world is very different. 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.
I hear you bro but idk if a youtuber is the way to keep yourself from offing yourself. Talk to a professional, they know more about that than this man and that's just a fact. If u had to knave it to a Psychiatrist or a youtuber, I'd take the psychiatrist every time. Just spoke with one again today. I hear you and giving him props but wish you all the best and talk to a professional is all I'm saying. If this works for you on your off days that's great but hope you get actual real help brother. It really helps. I finally starting seeing one and it's changing my life.. wish you nothing but the best. Stay strong friend, you're loved
Damn. This one guy. This man has saved millions of lives. This man has had a huge impact on the world. This man has been there for millions when no one else was, without even knowing it. People like Mark, really just give me hope. Thank you
You should go back to doing charity stuff again. You always had this fire and passion when you were making content based around helping others. In fact you could probably start your own charity to fight what you believe is the biggest problem in this world. Personally I would love too see you do something for the homeless, or Red Cross because they are helping the people in California that have now become homeless.
Mark you have already changed the lives of many. The things you have done and who you are as a person have inspired many including me. Your life means so much to so many people. I understand how you feel wanting bigger goals, but also look at the goals you have achieved. You have changed the lives of so many! Especially the longer viewers who have watched you for a very long time and have grown very close to you like myself and adore what you do.
Mark, you care soo much about total strangers you will do anything to make the world great. That's what I love about you. That's what millions of strangers love about you. You are an amazing person. It's perfectly ok to feel down. Everyone does. I do. But you make us happy. And if rambling makes you happy, do it. If making videos make you happy, do it. Anything that makes you happy, do it. Me and many others (I'm sure) will be happy that you're happy. So find your joy, even if your just a little down, I want you to be the happiest you can! Love you sooo much. Hope you have a wonderful, amazing, great day!💖💖💖
We should be the ones thanking you, really. Watching your videos is effortless, thinking of new materials and making them into videos and bringing joy to its viewers is the hard part...so THANK YOU Mark and always remember that no matter what, you can count on our love and support for you ❤ P.S. You're strong and you'll get through this, I just know it.
I noticed that the most amazing, creative, and loved people are a lot the ones who end up being depressed or sad. I’m not saying that all depressed people are like this, but so many of the people that we look up to end up sad. And every time a RUclipsr makes a video like this breaks my heart a little bit every time. Feel better Mark ❤️
Dose anyone else watch this video when you are sad? Because you realize that even when someone is doing great they still can feel down. That everyone is human and we all can feel down sometimes
These 'thinking/rambling out loud into the camera and finding a thread along the way' kinda videos feel like a quiet conversation (albeit a one sided one) at night with a friend. I'm glad you trust us enough to give us a chunk of your thoughts sometimes, Mark. And there's always some sort of warm comforting feeling by the end of these videos. It's really nice, for lack of a better word. Hope you find that something that may or may not be missing, Mark. ♡
it’s 4 am where i am and i was feeling so so down and idk what i was looking for but i was just randomly scrolling on and on through vlogs of marks looking for a fun one to distract me but this one popped up and for whatever reason i felt so compelled to watch it and i’m so glad i did. idk how i didn’t see this when it came out but i’m glad i didn’t cause i definitely needed it more now. ignoring my issues won’t make them go away, but attempting to process what’s getting me down and why will help even slightly. just watching this and being able to identify with so much of what you said in this lifted me up a bit and definitely made me tear up. idk dude. he’s been there for me for like idek five years now?? and i’ve always leaned on him, and i know he leans on us. everything about this just felt like i was meant to find it at this moment right now. cause this is EXACTLY how i’m feeling. and i didn’t and still really don’t know how to deal. even him saying to get some sleep just made me feel so connected like he was right there telling me that since it’s so late and i can’t sleep cause my mind is constantly racing right now. i don’t know... thank you though even though i know no one will see this. this is my own little ramble, thank you for reminding me i need to do this at times.
@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)
@@lokint9649 "According to the Oxford English Dictionary middle age is between 45 and 65: "The period between early adulthood and old age, usually considered as the years from about 45 to 65." But then there's this other one: "Is 30s middle aged? Middle age begins in your mid-30s and ends in your late 50s, a new survey finds. According to a study, the average Briton believes that youth ends at 35 and old age begins at 58. In between - all 23 years - is your middle age." Either way not 30...
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.
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!! 😊🥰
i keep coming back to the serious vlogs because it feels good to just hear another voice sometimes and know that other people need to deal with this sort of thing
Mark, it's okay. Sometimes you just feel sad for no reason, and that's perfectly fine. We're all here for you, and we'll be here when you need support.
Mark, you’ve done so much to change the world for the better. What you’ve done and what this community has done truly is incredible. I understand what you mean though. If you want to do more, then strive to do more, but make sure to enjoy the present. Otherwise, you’ll find time passing you by and you won’t have been as happy as you could be. You’re amazing, Mark, just keep doing good and great things like you always do. We’re all right here for you.
I think mark needs to get outside moar the sun gives vitaminD and vitaminD is the main Leed of happiness and as a gamer he is inside all the time so he can get those vitamins naturally
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
This video helped me a lot, I’ve been going through the same situation and I really feel stuck right now. Thank you mark and thank you for everything you have helped me through the past 6 years I’ve watched you and these type of videos really are a big thing that keeps me here, keep it up man, keep your head up because you’re the reason a lot of us do.
Mark, it sounds like you need to grab your van, chica, a camera guy and to go for a trip to nowhere. Just experience nature and the world on the greatest freaking road trip Vlog ever.
The challenging He craves to succeed, to fail and keep in striving for a better future for everyone, for the community. Taking a 'break' is a grave mistake and he sees it as that too, but let Mark do what he can, don't restrict him as if he needs this break.
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.
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. ❤️
You have inspired me to get up and do things with my life. Thank you. I have been feeling very down for the past 3 years, but this video put me at ease. 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. Don’t stress about your 30’s, everything will be fine and work out. It always does. Thank you for being amazing and helping us out.

@@bagofporkchips8882 And people use flowers like Lavender to make clothes so sell flower clothes and sell the flowers make double profit and keep RUclips
I know that Cloak is meant to be plain clothing without many emblems/pictures and stuff, but I wish it had more on it. Even if they just made some cool looking geometric patterns or some shit.
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.
Always will love your videos Mark. They mean a lot to me and they've helped me through tough times when my anxiety would take over, you'd make me laugh. So thank you. So much
Oh Mark! You're such an ambitious one! It's definitely not a bad thing! People like you change the world, and I think you have, and will! I'm behind you all the way! And a lot of your fans are! You reach a wide, WIDE audience! That's a huge advantage I think. It takes a bunch of people to bring about change, and you have that! A whole community! I don't really have advice... I have only felt this way in passing--and as a depressed almost adult, I can only do so much.... there's a long road ahead of me--and you as well! I'm not sure how to help the world. There are lots of things. The environment, politics, SO many things.
Just got off of a long night shift, dealing with personal life issues, watching/listening to you ramble helped me in some ways I wish I could word. Keep being you, Mark, and goodnight
Thank you for saving my life multiple times and giving me hope. Thank you so much. You giving people a hope and you are inspiratoin to many many people. Thank you for begun here for evryone and me.
I totally understand the need for momentum all the time. I am not comfortable with the status quo ever and it is my curse to bear. Thinking about the future is very good though because it prepares you for what is to come. I am now 36 and totally lost in many ways, but I was loosing my mind when I hit 30. Just remember that the world is not enough my friend because we all have progress on the brain and cannot stand to be idle. You are Awesome Mark and your restlessness will turn into the building of the next phase of life. You're next phase in life will be huge....TRUST ME !!
I'll be 37 on Sunday. Didn't really know what to expect in my 30s but I'm making it Im just wondering about my 40s. It seems like only yesterday I was 18 out on my own in the world now 40 is creeping up on me Its sad when you find a gray hair.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, It just helps me so much in many ways even just listenning to you trying to figure out what's wrong is also helping me clarify some stuff in my mind. I will never thank you enough for your videos, your investissments in every single projects of yours, and you always tell us that you believe in us but today I tell you that I believe in you more than anyone in this world.
Mark you beautiful amazing human being. We love you so so much. If you need to take a break take a break. Spend time with family and friends. Your health is our concern. I’ve been feeling the same way lately so I kinda know what you are going through. Please take care of yourself Markimoo♥️
i really love it when he does these kinds of videos....it gives us a glance into his thought process and what he's thinking, and a glimpse into his soul....everytime he does one of these....im glued to the screen and for some reason compelled to listen, like...all of my focus is directed toward his words....i'd give anything just to be able to sit down with him for an hour and just listen to him talk about whats on his mind
You have bin such a inspiration to so many people. You have saved so many peoples live with what you do and if that is not a positive mark on humanity I don’t know what is. Thank you so much.
Awee... Its not because we have a lot good things in life that we feel fine.. Its ok to feel down We understand Hope you'll be ok ❤❤ You will find that missing thing one day, no need to rush ! Thank you for telling us all that... I want to do more too I often give up because nothing move everything hurt but Im glad, very glad to hear that message. I hope you'll be able to do more than what you already do (even if it's already awesome) We all support you !
Mark.... Trust me that you have helped people more than you think. I for one almost did something that would have removed me from this world. But I didn’t because you ,Jack, and others that have helped get through some situations in my life, you and others are the reason why I choose to stay here any longer ☺️. I can only thank you, and remind you of the positive affects your actions have on others.
Me too. I got really depressed and scared last year that I would get too broken to think for myself and that I would’ve ended it. I hated being sad and I hated that I would ever think like that, so whenever I would start to cry I would just watch their videos and it would bring me back up. They have really helped me and I probrably wouldn’t be here with out them.
I’ve had a terrible year that left me feeling very depressed. Watching your videos always cheered me up, made me laugh. I’m really thankful for that. Even if it feels like you haven’t made a difference I want you to know your videos made me feel better on some of my bad days. Thank you.
Thanks Mark. This video was so helpful to me on a day where I'm feeling down. I completely relate to everything you said 100%. You're an inspiration and thanks for helping me through tough times. I'm at a place where I'm trying to grow and move on. I'm in my 30s now and I'm still trying to make the world a better place. I just don't exactly know how or what to do in order to make bigger changes.
My 10 yr. old son watches your videos all the time and I was like who is this guy? He replied it's Markiplier mom; he's funny. I watched with him and laughed as well but also watched some of your more serious vids it's amazing what you do. I also believe that just about anyone or everyone wants to do more to help make our world a better place to live. It can be hard on making decisions what could be more helpful or joyful to the populace that is culture or population. Turning 30 is just another number but I do understand the need to want to do more than what you're doing now. Stay positive, stay ambitious and you'll find your goal that you want to reach eventually.
It blows my mind that this man spends so much time doing and giving and being the best kind of human to look up to, and he still wishes he could do more. That's not something you see very often. It's such an admirable quality. But, it is also a damaging one. I look up to Mark so much. He's the kind of person I want to be someday. He is one of my driving forces. And it makes me wonder: If Mark has done all of this and still wants more, than what more can I be doing? What kind of change can I bring about? Because I also wish to do good and to leave more than I take. Hopefully, me, Mark, and anyone else feeling this way will soon find their purpose. Maybe soon, we will live up to our full potential...
Dude you are amazing person you have helped me through some very hard times. I think it is important to take care of yourself while continuing to do the good you do. My fiancee and I are sleeping in a car because we can't afford to find a house or place I work long hours 50+ a week and my fiancee works full-time and is a student. You have really helped me through these last couple of weeks to turn my over all feelings and keep positive. I look up to you every day. You may feel like you aren't doing enough but when you can give hope to people who don't have anything and help them to push themselves to get up and go to work thinking that it will get better. That in itself is a lot. You give me hope and help me to laugh in the hardest times in my life. Just before we lost our house after I got laid off from my last job. We both were really upset. Your channel the particular video about the games from getting over it made us laugh so much and briefly helped us to forget the hard times we were going through. Every day you have given me some way to forget the times that we have. When I pull into the parking lot where we stay pull out our tarp put it on our little Celica and get all our blankets out. The feeling of saddness overwhelms me but when we turn your videos on and laugh we forget we are in the car. That's the kinda thing you bring to people. So if it helps at all. Thanks so much mark you are an inspiration to me and my fiancee and a dear friend to us even though we have never met.
I just watched the video and I want to say this. I totally understand you and your desire to change the world. I have it too but I can't use it, I'm just too young and I have to prove people that I have the potential to be who I aspire to be. This world is often ridiculous and I can't stand it every time. About your will to inspire people and all the stuff about it, you already did. Thanks to you, during almost three years I've pushed myself forward : meeting new people, going out more with my friends, daring ask for help, trying and seeing new things. I've been so far since I met you on RUclips, and I'll always be grateful. You represents all goodness and beauty on this earth and I won't abandon you. I stand you and your values. Just keep going and do what makes you happy. 😘😘😘😘😘💙💙💙💙💙💗💗💗💗💗💗
Maybe start a new project? A bigger one then "Who killed Markiplier". Maybe a movie? Something that you think is important, and something that you think will inspire others. Maybe try different art forms, maybe make a short film that doesn't revolve around the Markiplier universe. Or even, maybe go on a trip to somewhere you've never been before, if you can, go explore the rare parts of earth. The world is a big place, and has so much to offer. It's all up to you Mark, but thanks for what you've given us so far. Whatever you do will be great because you are you.
That would be pretty dope, but I think he's referring to the more chairitable aspect of it. Or maybe that's a pretty dope idea, who tf knows. At any rate, he'll get better. He tends to always bounce back eventually.
It's a good thought. We should start something to help him get money for stuff like that. Unfortunately I wouldn't be much help but I have faith it the other 2 million people on here.
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.
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.
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
Mark you’ve done some much and will do some much more for the world. It’s the right thing to do to think and ponder where to go from here. Whatever you decide, wherever things go, remember that all your fans (your family) has your back the whole way. Go make the world a better place!!! No matter what, Charity Live-streams, regular videos, cool sketches, something incredible no one has ever done before, we will help you reach your dreams.
Watching your videos cheer me up & can’t thank you enough cause your videos help temporarily block out all the craziness going on & be able to earn my livelihood which is designing and making fiber crafts with cultural art.
I know this is a serious video but am I the only one who suddenly thought of 'You do you and I'll do me and we won't do each other. Probably' when you saw Kitty Chu's comment? (Probably really confused on what I just said XD)
I thought this was really interesting to listen to. I just subscribed to your channel the other day, mainly because I couldn't find RUclipsrs who plated the horror games I wanted to watch but...this...was different. Different in a good way. Let me just say that, Mark, I'm glad that I subscribed to your channel, I think it's really admirable that you open up like this, for me, that's inspiring. And what I find even more inspiring is your attitude to things, like to gaming and RUclips and your family, it's so inspiring for me. So thanks for being you and being awesome.
My homepage showed me this video as well as the one from a while ago where Mark is in a hotel room, I forget the title but these both helped me a lot, just a simple talk but it really helped me, I'm going through a pretty similar time right now. I'm very grateful for the messages that are being left on youtube for people to see and hear, I hope that they can help others too, thank you Mark.
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
Just watching this I felt as though I could relate on how you definitely have a lot of potential so with the rest of the time you deserve in life try your best you could make anything
Same. I failed my last exam and have to leave the nursing program. Now, I have to wait a semester to either go back or do something else. It's ok to be feeling down as long as you figure it out and pick yourself back up. I would donate my time if I were you to those people less fortunate. It's the holidays and families don't have food for Thanksgiving, older people are lonely in the nursing home, people are forced to stay in the hospital during the holidays because of unforseen events. It feels good to help and make a difference. You make a difference indirectly for people and that's the incredible thing about youtube. We are all searching for purpose. I understand you man. We will figure it out and hopefully find our purpose. Much love man
I've gotten to the point that I have almost no hope left myself. There's so much happening right now and I've lost control of it all and it's like I'm drowning in my own mind. I see you guys as creators doing stuff like charities and helping people and I want to do that myself, but I'm not really anybody. I don't know who to talk to, and I've never been good at asking for help. Then, I see a video like this, and I know that everyone has obstacles to overcome, even if it is not that bad or incredibly serious. I'm going to keep fighting until I'm able to help others the way you have. Thanks for the pep talk my guy.
My dog cried while watching this. She enjoys watching your videos with me. Take some time for yourself! Go hug Chica. I know how you feel, I think it’s normal to feel that way. But you need to do more for yourself.
“The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe.” ― Bob Ross
Tell that to the crazies who start shooting up everywhere because of their pain and misery that they have to hurt others because of how they feel you sure it's still "okay to not be okay?"
hmu Philly You completely ignored the second half of their comment apparently lol. They said “it’s ok to not be ok, as long as you don’t give up.” I don’t think they’re trying to say it’s ok to go shoot up a school. They’re saying that feeling sad or unhappy is not a bad thing, as long as you believe that things will turn out ok eventually. Now please leave, since you ruined a perfectly good comment with your toxicity.
Hi Mark, it's okay to feel that way, it happens to all of us and more recently it's happened to me because I feel like my career hasnt advanced where I'd like it to be, because I would like to also leave a positive change in the world. Part of the problem that I found out is that you should not compare yourself to people, and how they've impacted the world as opposed to you. The fact that all 22 million of us love you and support you, is proof that you are doing more than enough for the world, and always trust us to push you forward with whatever we can offer. We are here for each other, as humans and roommates on this small planet.
I know exactly how you feel. My life has barely started yet I know that I want to do something that's going to change the world and make me happy at the same time. I am a really hard worker and I try my best even for things I don't like. But sometimes when I was 13 I would be just relaxing or just doing nothing and I would have a thought in the back of my head telling me "your not doing enough" or "your going to grow up a failure" or even "your useless and your only using others" which whenever I would have these thoughts they would stress me out because I didn't want to do any of those things so I would force myself to overwork myself. I now have more control over those thoughts and I'm preparing for my life in the future one step at a time at a pace I'm comfortable with. My point is there's nothing wrong with pushing yourself but don't push yourself too much, it's like walking on a tipe rope, if you walk one step at a time you will get better at balancing yourself and you are more likely to get all the way across while enjoying the experience, but if you are forced to run across the tipe rope you have a bigger chance of falling and you would be filled with fear and no confidence making the whole experience of walking the tipe rope in the end making you feel not "well I tried my best and I'm proud of myself" but instend "I fell and I feel so stupid I will never do that again"
Virtual hugs... Edit: I know lot of you are feeling down now, hopefully one day we will get over the situations that we are going through now....(believe in one day!)
Fist of all I think it's apart of life to feel like this. My husband and I just bought a house, bought my dream car, we're debt free and just got a great job that I love... but for some reason I feel "behind" (maybe it has something to do with giving up my dream of being a doctor idk..) or down? Anyway your not alone in those feelings and trying to find what you want out of life takes time. But keep your head up! Take the time to step back and see what you have built and the lives you've touched just by having this platform! Thanks for all that you do!
To be honest mark u ARE helping people I will be forever grateful to be part of this comunity. Im watching this again after so many years I could say Im at my worst but even now u are one of the only people if not the only person that gives me motivation to keep going.
I love this side of Markiplier
Me too, he is so open and honest, always wanting to do more to help others.
So you mean, that you like markiplier Feeling Down?! And Him being sad?! Dang that's kinda mean but okay...
No, him being honest and genuine.
I know, right?
Me too
People always feel down when success hits them hard. Remember that you are your own worst critic my friend.
Couldn't have said it better myself...
Somebody quote this man
You are the best we are here for you
no ,that's normal for ambitious people>>>>they always feel they are not doing enough no matter what!
when you start to feel you are doing enough ,you will stop making progress.
because your mind hates to feel uncomfortable , and it will do whatever it takes to feel better .
and as he says ,he is looking for future , because that's what matters for a human, the future ,the past doesn't really matter .
i can see that mark feels empty , like existence of a jewel for no reason.( and that's just guess )
i really thank him for giving us such a unique experience , i can only see from this, learning a lot about life.
You speak truely. Mark, if it doesn't feel like enough, ask yourself why it doesn't feel like enough.
You, sir, are someone whom I truly respect.
And you as well @Ivy S.
Those who want respect give respect and he embodies that to a fault.
Mark's humanity is one of the few things that make me hopeful for the future of our people and this planet as a whole. Thank you Mark so much, just for being you.
Mark's deep voice and talks are a therapy for me.

Yes!! Watched his stuff to help cheer myself up
Dwij S I cried , his voice is powerful
Mark should be a public speaker or a therapist.

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.
Well said Rebecca.
Didn't expect to see you here

@@Markone99 For you maybe. But for the people who have needed the help of the charities that he has raised money for, the world is very different. 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.
Mark you have no idea how many times you've kept me from suicide. Thank you so fucking much. I love you man.

I hear you bro but idk if a youtuber is the way to keep yourself from offing yourself. Talk to a professional, they know more about that than this man and that's just a fact. If u had to knave it to a Psychiatrist or a youtuber, I'd take the psychiatrist every time. Just spoke with one again today. I hear you and giving him props but wish you all the best and talk to a professional is all I'm saying. If this works for you on your off days that's great but hope you get actual real help brother. It really helps. I finally starting seeing one and it's changing my life.. wish you nothing but the best. Stay strong friend, you're loved
Damn. This one guy. This man has saved millions of lives. This man has had a huge impact on the world. This man has been there for millions when no one else was, without even knowing it. People like Mark, really just give me hope. Thank you

Mark: “sorry for waking you”
Me using this to help me sleep: “well yes but actually no”
You should go back to doing charity stuff again. You always had this fire and passion when you were making content based around helping others. In fact you could probably start your own charity to fight what you believe is the biggest problem in this world. Personally I would love too see you do something for the homeless, or Red Cross because they are helping the people in California that have now become homeless.
Oh my god and he did!!
Are you referring to the November fires that destroyed Paradise, some of Magalia and Concow?
Mark you have already changed the lives of many. The things you have done and who you are as a person have inspired many including me. Your life means so much to so many people. I understand how you feel wanting bigger goals, but also look at the goals you have achieved. You have changed the lives of so many! Especially the longer viewers who have watched you for a very long time and have grown very close to you like myself and adore what you do.

Mark, you care soo much about total strangers you will do anything to make the world great. That's what I love about you. That's what millions of strangers love about you. You are an amazing person. It's perfectly ok to feel down. Everyone does. I do. But you make us happy. And if rambling makes you happy, do it. If making videos make you happy, do it. Anything that makes you happy, do it. Me and many others (I'm sure) will be happy that you're happy. So find your joy, even if your just a little down, I want you to be the happiest you can! Love you sooo much. Hope you have a wonderful, amazing, great day!💖💖💖
We should be the ones thanking you, really. Watching your videos is effortless, thinking of new materials and making them into videos and bringing joy to its viewers is the hard part...so THANK YOU Mark and always remember that no matter what, you can count on our love and support for you ❤
P.S.
You're strong and you'll get through this, I just know it.
Never heard words more true...
Couldn’t have said it better myself. We’re with you, Mark. Thank you so much.
I'd totally listen to a Markiplier podcast. I appreciate real talks like this
It has been 9 hours why has mark not started on a podcast
Mark's ASMR.
i would listen to eat everyday
I really wanna give you a hug right now🥺
You’re not alone! I know how your feeling ❤️
I just want to hug you and show you how much you influence people!!

I noticed that the most amazing, creative, and loved people are a lot the ones who end up being depressed or sad. I’m not saying that all depressed people are like this, but so many of the people that we look up to end up sad. And every time a RUclipsr makes a video like this breaks my heart a little bit every time. Feel better Mark ❤️
Dose anyone else watch this video when you are sad? Because you realize that even when someone is doing great they still can feel down. That everyone is human and we all can feel down sometimes
Hey you could just do ASMR, you got the voice of an angel bro.
Truuuuuuee 😦
please no
TRUEEE
"Hey, Markiplier here. Today were doing... ASMR"
Hasn't he done Mario Maker but in a whisper? Close enough? Yeah... No...?
These 'thinking/rambling out loud into the camera and finding a thread along the way' kinda videos feel like a quiet conversation (albeit a one sided one) at night with a friend. I'm glad you trust us enough to give us a chunk of your thoughts sometimes, Mark. And there's always some sort of warm comforting feeling by the end of these videos. It's really nice, for lack of a better word.
Hope you find that something that may or may not be missing, Mark. ♡
well said
It is pretty comforting, like laying near a roaring fire place in a comfy bed with your loved one. A really nice feeling to fall asleep to

it’s 4 am where i am and i was feeling so so down and idk what i was looking for but i was just randomly scrolling on and on through vlogs of marks looking for a fun one to distract me but this one popped up and for whatever reason i felt so compelled to watch it and i’m so glad i did. idk how i didn’t see this when it came out but i’m glad i didn’t cause i definitely needed it more now. ignoring my issues won’t make them go away, but attempting to process what’s getting me down and why will help even slightly. just watching this and being able to identify with so much of what you said in this lifted me up a bit and definitely made me tear up. idk dude. he’s been there for me for like idek five years now?? and i’ve always leaned on him, and i know he leans on us. everything about this just felt like i was meant to find it at this moment right now. cause this is EXACTLY how i’m feeling. and i didn’t and still really don’t know how to deal. even him saying to get some sleep just made me feel so connected like he was right there telling me that since it’s so late and i can’t sleep cause my mind is constantly racing right now. i don’t know... thank you though even though i know no one will see this. this is my own little ramble, thank you for reminding me i need to do this at times.
@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)
Can you be more specific than "according to psychology"? Where did you get your information from.
since when 30 is middle age??
@@SangriaDracul its always been between 30-40. Did you think it was 50? Lol
Kayla Klopf i think the person is more focused on the crisis part. But im with you i thought it was 40s-50s
@@lokint9649
"According to the Oxford English Dictionary middle age is between 45 and 65: "The period between early adulthood and old age, usually considered as the years from about 45 to 65."
But then there's this other one:
"Is 30s middle aged?
Middle age begins in your mid-30s and ends in your late 50s, a new survey finds. According to a study, the average Briton believes that youth ends at 35 and old age begins at 58. In between - all 23 years - is your middle age."
Either way not 30...
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.
Cometstarlight, holy cow. That was exactly what I was thinking of saying. Well put!
Hopefully Markiplier saw that.
WOW, I've been through the same thing, though sometimes I get scared of the future. Well said.
This comment was on the dot for Mark I hope he sees this cause it would probably help him a lot
Dont wanna be cruel but he probably will never read your comment,cause most famous youtubers never read comments...
To this comment I say...GOT DAMN THAT WAS GOOD WRITING
Maybe sometime you need some rest mark take your time.
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!! 😊🥰
i keep coming back to the serious vlogs because it feels good to just hear another voice sometimes and know that other people need to deal with this sort of thing
Mark, it's okay. Sometimes you just feel sad for no reason, and that's perfectly fine. We're all here for you, and we'll be here when you need support.
Exactly we are all human it's okay to feel sad every now and then.
Ex de
Mark, you’ve done so much to change the world for the better. What you’ve done and what this community has done truly is incredible. I understand what you mean though. If you want to do more, then strive to do more, but make sure to enjoy the present. Otherwise, you’ll find time passing you by and you won’t have been as happy as you could be. You’re amazing, Mark, just keep doing good and great things like you always do. We’re all right here for you.

I think mark needs to get outside moar the sun gives vitaminD and vitaminD is the main Leed of happiness and as a gamer he is inside all the time so he can get those vitamins naturally
He knows that
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
This video helped me a lot, I’ve been going through the same situation and I really feel stuck right now. Thank you mark and thank you for everything you have helped me through the past 6 years I’ve watched you and these type of videos really are a big thing that keeps me here, keep it up man, keep your head up because you’re the reason a lot of us do.
Mark, it sounds like you need to grab your van, chica, a camera guy and to go for a trip to nowhere. Just experience nature and the world on the greatest freaking road trip Vlog ever.
Sam K. Why does it have to be a vlog he should just take a little break
this would be awesome
Sam K. Yeah
The challenging He craves to succeed, to fail and keep in striving for a better future for everyone, for the community. Taking a 'break' is a grave mistake and he sees it as that too, but let Mark do what he can, don't restrict him as if he needs this break.
Actually I think that is a great idea 👍
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.
Elida Hole i’m with you, feel the exact same way too. There’s always people out there who are in a situation like you.

I know that Cloak is meant to be plain clothing without many emblems/pictures and stuff, but I wish it had more on it. Even if they just made some cool looking geometric patterns or some shit.
*Slow claps* * faster claps of more people* *a football stadium* *the hole universe*
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.
Maybe this feeling was part of the inspiration for Unus Annus
Always will love your videos Mark. They mean a lot to me and they've helped me through tough times when my anxiety would take over, you'd make me laugh. So thank you. So much

Oh Mark! You're such an ambitious one! It's definitely not a bad thing! People like you change the world, and I think you have, and will!

I don't really have advice... I have only felt this way in passing--and as a depressed almost adult, I can only do so much.... there's a long road ahead of me--and you as well!
I'm not sure how to help the world. There are lots of things. The environment, politics, SO many things.

Thinking about the future is very good though because it prepares you for what is to come. I am now 36 and totally lost in many ways, but I was loosing my mind when I hit 30. Just remember that the world is not enough my friend because we all have progress on the brain and cannot stand to be idle. You are Awesome Mark and your restlessness will turn into the building of the next phase of life. You're next phase in life will be huge....TRUST ME !!
Wutaii1 Nostalgia, I don’t believe there are more “phases” in life, but I agree with the compassion.
@@Vizbiz I only mean "average age benchmarks" I suppose but you are right
I'll be 37 on Sunday. Didn't really know what to expect in my 30s but I'm making it Im just wondering about my 40s. It seems like only yesterday I was 18 out on my own in the world now 40 is creeping up on me Its sad when you find a gray hair.
Just found this but thank you. I genuinely love you as a person. A hero without a cape, you could say.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, It just helps me so much in many ways even just listenning to you trying to figure out what's wrong is also helping me clarify some stuff in my mind. I will never thank you enough for your videos, your investissments in every single projects of yours, and you always tell us that you believe in us but today I tell you that I believe in you more than anyone in this world.
I sensed you were a little off. Please take care of yourself Mark, and feel better. We love you ❤

Mark you beautiful amazing human being. We love you so so much. If you need to take a break take a break. Spend time with family and friends. Your health is our concern. I’ve been feeling the same way lately so I kinda know what you are going through. Please take care of yourself Markimoo♥️
OMG, this was so sweet and made super happy. Keep being a positive person and keep your head up.
Tanisha K how did you type that so fast
he doesn't even know who you are, you're not his best friend, you don't really know his personality even though you think so!
i really love it when he does these kinds of videos....it gives us a glance into his thought process and what he's thinking, and a glimpse into his soul....everytime he does one of these....im glued to the screen and for some reason compelled to listen, like...all of my focus is directed toward his words....i'd give anything just to be able to sit down with him for an hour and just listen to him talk about whats on his mind
You have bin such a inspiration to so many people. You have saved so many peoples live with what you do and if that is not a positive mark on humanity I don’t know what is. Thank you so much.
Awee... Its not because we have a lot good things in life that we feel fine.. Its ok to feel down
We understand
Hope you'll be ok ❤❤
You will find that missing thing one day, no need to rush !
Thank you for telling us all that...
I want to do more too
I often give up because nothing move everything hurt but
Im glad, very glad to hear that message.
I hope you'll be able to do more than what you already do (even if it's already awesome)
We all support you !

Mark....
Trust me that you have helped people more than you think. I for one almost did something that would have removed me from this world. But I didn’t because you ,Jack, and others that have helped get through some situations in my life, you and others are the reason why I choose to stay here any longer ☺️. I can only thank you, and remind you of the positive affects your actions have on others.
Glad to know you're still with us 👍
That is exactly what I'm going through. I'm glad I'm not the only one
Believe me we the people who have problems feel at least a bit better with markiplier
Me too. I got really depressed and scared last year that I would get too broken to think for myself and that I would’ve ended it. I hated being sad and I hated that I would ever think like that, so whenever I would start to cry I would just watch their videos and it would bring me back up. They have really helped me and I probrably wouldn’t be here with out them.
Dude, same. I couldn't have worded it better
I’ve had a terrible year that left me feeling very depressed. Watching your videos always cheered me up, made me laugh. I’m really thankful for that. Even if it feels like you haven’t made a difference I want you to know your videos made me feel better on some of my bad days. Thank you.
Thanks Mark. This video was so helpful to me on a day where I'm feeling down. I completely relate to everything you said 100%. You're an inspiration and thanks for helping me through tough times. I'm at a place where I'm trying to grow and move on. I'm in my 30s now and I'm still trying to make the world a better place. I just don't exactly know how or what to do in order to make bigger changes.
My 10 yr. old son watches your videos all the time and I was like who is this guy? He replied it's Markiplier mom; he's funny. I watched with him and laughed as well but also watched some of your more serious vids it's amazing what you do. I also believe that just about anyone or everyone wants to do more to help make our world a better place to live. It can be hard on making decisions what could be more helpful or joyful to the populace that is culture or population. Turning 30 is just another number but I do understand the need to want to do more than what you're doing now. Stay positive, stay ambitious and you'll find your goal that you want to reach eventually.
Amen to that.
Well said
Dude that’s good
It blows my mind that this man spends so much time doing and giving and being the best kind of human to look up to, and he still wishes he could do more. That's not something you see very often. It's such an admirable quality. But, it is also a damaging one. I look up to Mark so much. He's the kind of person I want to be someday. He is one of my driving forces. And it makes me wonder: If Mark has done all of this and still wants more, than what more can I be doing? What kind of change can I bring about? Because I also wish to do good and to leave more than I take. Hopefully, me, Mark, and anyone else feeling this way will soon find their purpose. Maybe soon, we will live up to our full potential...
Agreed
I hear ya
I feel like mark too
I want to do more to but only im 11
Dude you are amazing person you have helped me through some very hard times. I think it is important to take care of yourself while continuing to do the good you do. My fiancee and I are sleeping in a car because we can't afford to find a house or place I work long hours 50+ a week and my fiancee works full-time and is a student. You have really helped me through these last couple of weeks to turn my over all feelings and keep positive. I look up to you every day. You may feel like you aren't doing enough but when you can give hope to people who don't have anything and help them to push themselves to get up and go to work thinking that it will get better. That in itself is a lot. You give me hope and help me to laugh in the hardest times in my life. Just before we lost our house after I got laid off from my last job. We both were really upset. Your channel the particular video about the games from getting over it made us laugh so much and briefly helped us to forget the hard times we were going through. Every day you have given me some way to forget the times that we have. When I pull into the parking lot where we stay pull out our tarp put it on our little Celica and get all our blankets out. The feeling of saddness overwhelms me but when we turn your videos on and laugh we forget we are in the car. That's the kinda thing you bring to people. So if it helps at all. Thanks so much mark you are an inspiration to me and my fiancee and a dear friend to us even though we have never met.
I just watched the video and I want to say this. I totally understand you and your desire to change the world. I have it too but I can't use it, I'm just too young and I have to prove people that I have the potential to be who I aspire to be. This world is often ridiculous and I can't stand it every time. About your will to inspire people and all the stuff about it, you already did. Thanks to you, during almost three years I've pushed myself forward : meeting new people, going out more with my friends, daring ask for help, trying and seeing new things. I've been so far since I met you on RUclips, and I'll always be grateful. You represents all goodness and beauty on this earth and I won't abandon you. I stand you and your values. Just keep going and do what makes you happy. 😘😘😘😘😘💙💙💙💙💙💗💗💗💗💗💗
Maybe start a new project? A bigger one then "Who killed Markiplier". Maybe a movie? Something that you think is important, and something that you think will inspire others. Maybe try different art forms, maybe make a short film that doesn't revolve around the Markiplier universe. Or even, maybe go on a trip to somewhere you've never been before, if you can, go explore the rare parts of earth. The world is a big place, and has so much to offer.
It's all up to you Mark, but thanks for what you've given us so far. Whatever you do will be great because you are you.
That would be pretty dope, but I think he's referring to the more chairitable aspect of it.
Or maybe that's a pretty dope idea, who tf knows.
At any rate, he'll get better. He tends to always bounce back eventually.
Amen.
Or maybe accept the life have down and up feelings moments and nothing mean about realizing the life
It's a good thought. We should start something to help him get money for stuff like that. Unfortunately I wouldn't be much help but I have faith it the other 2 million people on here.
I would agree, Serious projects always got me out of sadness loops. And then back into them.
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.
Replying to get this comment up. Mark absolutely needs to see this. I agree with everything you say and applaud you.
I have read the whole thing and I hate reading so go like read and subscribe
Mark read this too
I feel the same way as you. I'm glad you speak your thoughts out in a calm way. I needed this video.
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.
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.

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
Mark you’ve done some much and will do some much more for the world. It’s the right thing to do to think and ponder where to go from here. Whatever you decide, wherever things go, remember that all your fans (your family) has your back the whole way. Go make the world a better place!!! No matter what, Charity Live-streams, regular videos, cool sketches, something incredible no one has ever done before, we will help you reach your dreams.
This is so sweet
Watching your videos cheer me up & can’t thank you enough cause your videos help temporarily block out all the craziness going on & be able to earn my livelihood which is designing and making fiber crafts with cultural art.
HAPPY VIDEO ANNIVERSARY!!
3 years ago I commented on this video and I became hooked
You do you, Mark! We will always be here to help you!
Yeah!!
Your right
I know this is a serious video but am I the only one who suddenly thought of 'You do you and I'll do me and we won't do each other. Probably' when you saw Kitty Chu's comment? (Probably really confused on what I just said XD)

I thought this was really interesting to listen to. I just subscribed to your channel the other day, mainly because I couldn't find RUclipsrs who plated the horror games I wanted to watch but...this...was different. Different in a good way. Let me just say that, Mark, I'm glad that I subscribed to your channel, I think it's really admirable that you open up like this, for me, that's inspiring. And what I find even more inspiring is your attitude to things, like to gaming and RUclips and your family, it's so inspiring for me. So thanks for being you and being awesome.
My homepage showed me this video as well as the one from a while ago where Mark is in a hotel room, I forget the title but these both helped me a lot, just a simple talk but it really helped me, I'm going through a pretty similar time right now. I'm very grateful for the messages that are being left on youtube for people to see and hear, I hope that they can help others too, thank you Mark.
YOU ARE NOT WHINING OR COMPLAINING!!!! You’re probably anxious, it’s ok. We’re always here for you

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
I think we are sick of this pandemic wish it was over already
Just watching this I felt as though I could relate on how you definitely have a lot of potential so with the rest of the time you deserve in life try your best you could make anything
I love how you’re so real, I think it’s makes us feel like we aren’t alone with how we feel as well
Same. I failed my last exam and have to leave the nursing program. Now, I have to wait a semester to either go back or do something else. It's ok to be feeling down as long as you figure it out and pick yourself back up. I would donate my time if I were you to those people less fortunate. It's the holidays and families don't have food for Thanksgiving, older people are lonely in the nursing home, people are forced to stay in the hospital during the holidays because of unforseen events. It feels good to help and make a difference. You make a difference indirectly for people and that's the incredible thing about youtube. We are all searching for purpose. I understand you man. We will figure it out and hopefully find our purpose. Much love man
I've gotten to the point that I have almost no hope left myself. There's so much happening right now and I've lost control of it all and it's like I'm drowning in my own mind. I see you guys as creators doing stuff like charities and helping people and I want to do that myself, but I'm not really anybody. I don't know who to talk to, and I've never been good at asking for help. Then, I see a video like this, and I know that everyone has obstacles to overcome, even if it is not that bad or incredibly serious. I'm going to keep fighting until I'm able to help others the way you have. Thanks for the pep talk my guy.
My dog cried while watching this. She enjoys watching your videos with me. Take some time for yourself! Go hug Chica. I know how you feel, I think it’s normal to feel that way. But you need to do more for yourself.
There are 22 million people behind you, buddy! You are with us, we are with you... Love ya

hmu Philly You completely ignored the second half of their comment apparently lol. They said “it’s ok to not be ok, as long as you don’t give up.” I don’t think they’re trying to say it’s ok to go shoot up a school. They’re saying that feeling sad or unhappy is not a bad thing, as long as you believe that things will turn out ok eventually. Now please leave, since you ruined a perfectly good comment with your toxicity.
Hi Mark, it's okay to feel that way, it happens to all of us and more recently it's happened to me because I feel like my career hasnt advanced where I'd like it to be, because I would like to also leave a positive change in the world. Part of the problem that I found out is that you should not compare yourself to people, and how they've impacted the world as opposed to you. The fact that all 22 million of us love you and support you, is proof that you are doing more than enough for the world, and always trust us to push you forward with whatever we can offer. We are here for each other, as humans and roommates on this small planet.
I know exactly how you feel. My life has barely started yet I know that I want to do something that's going to change the world and make me happy at the same time. I am a really hard worker and I try my best even for things I don't like. But sometimes when I was 13 I would be just relaxing or just doing nothing and I would have a thought in the back of my head telling me "your not doing enough" or "your going to grow up a failure" or even "your useless and your only using others" which whenever I would have these thoughts they would stress me out because I didn't want to do any of those things so I would force myself to overwork myself. I now have more control over those thoughts and I'm preparing for my life in the future one step at a time at a pace I'm comfortable with. My point is there's nothing wrong with pushing yourself but don't push yourself too much, it's like walking on a tipe rope, if you walk one step at a time you will get better at balancing yourself and you are more likely to get all the way across while enjoying the experience, but if you are forced to run across the tipe rope you have a bigger chance of falling and you would be filled with fear and no confidence making the whole experience of walking the tipe rope in the end making you feel not "well I tried my best and I'm proud of myself" but instend "I fell and I feel so stupid I will never do that again"

Fist of all I think it's apart of life to feel like this. My husband and I just bought a house, bought my dream car, we're debt free and just got a great job that I love... but for some reason I feel "behind" (maybe it has something to do with giving up my dream of being a doctor idk..) or down? Anyway your not alone in those feelings and trying to find what you want out of life takes time. But keep your head up! Take the time to step back and see what you have built and the lives you've touched just by having this platform! Thanks for all that you do!
