Hey man as someone stationed in Alaska with only about 4 hours of sunlight and a half year of winter stacked on with depression. This video was really helpful and great to see someone acknowledging that it only makes it worse
me: *comes in to talk about feeling depressed Rift: Hello, Before we start would you mind holding this ak47 while telling me how depressed you feel? me: sure, What could go wrong? Since this got some likes and ER might see it, I want you to know you have helped me through tough times ER. Thank you a ton.
I'm currently dealing with depression. I've previously had a much harder and darker period, but I'm still dealing with it. It's a constant battle of constantly feeling restless because absolutely nothing entertains me, other than ER of course. The things that I was passionate about earlier do not engage me in any way anymore. That's the worst part of depression; the fact that you can't have fun doing the things you used to have fun doing. That's why I eat too much junk food these days and drink a lot of ginger beer as a way of comfort, which is not good. Hopefully I can start working out sooner or later which I have been procrastinating. ER is such a good friend in terms of so many things in life. I love him!
Just try to hold on, Ive never dealt with depression myself but people in my family have. I can't relate to your pain and suffering and i hope i never will but you need to promise me to hold on. eventually it Will go away. Try to find joy and peace in the small things in live and don't overthink too much. I can wish you nothing but the best
I hear ya. The only thing that keeps my depression at bay is my work in the trades. Other than construction, I have zero interest in anything else. Work is a strange addiction. No one will ever admit that earning one's living is a bad thing, however, if work is all one does, all of a sudden such a state becomes worrying. Yet, when the proposed solution is, well , "Not work." this cannot be done due to looming finacial burdens like rent, mortgage, and utilities. For every day we take off to seek treatment, is every day we are not getting paid ourselves to pay for such treatment. So are we suppose to do?
I feel like I am reading about my life. Just replace ginger beer with apple soda. I’m glad that you can at least find some solace in ER’s videos. Hang in there. Hopefully that spark will come back to you. ⚡️
ER: “I think Ill get an AK47 for my Communist video“ Wife: “ honey, thats too much money for one single video“ ER: “well... then I will use it in other videos aswell“ Wife:“how should that work?“ “wrapping it up in tin foil or randomly carrying it around in some random late night depression video?“ *sighs* ER: OMG! you are a genius!
You know Rift. I just got diagnosed with severe depression earlier this year and it is pretty debilitating to live with. Without medication it's impossible to have some joy. I just appreciate the videos you make and the time you take to try and help others. Much love - A Longtime Subscriber
Honestly this really helps for me... I lost my mother in late July of this year and as Christmas keeps coming closer, I feel extremely depressed, even more than normal, as our annual traditions have all but passed on completely. It's just not the same. So I send many thanks to you so much for all you do, and the relaxation you bring, as it genuinely helps people like me and all other kinds of people.
I have always been happy and upbeat until last year. Depression hit me bad and I hid from the world. I am finally feeling my old self back. Winter actually calms me down. I think it is human to have highs and lows. Your voice makes me feel peaceful like an old friend. ~Alx
ER you're my favourite ASMRtist because you always care about the video and your viewers and I just wanted to thank you for everything this video included but also in specific you helped me in dark times before and this video really summed it up and I can't ever thank you enough so lastly, and again, thank you so much.
Your kitchen background makes me feel welcome. It helped me alot in the last video i commented on. I used to not watch your videos because they were so long. Loved the content just couldnt stay focused that long, but i always knew one day i would really dig through your videos and i couldnt of picked a more perfect time. The stuff that im going through in life right now is knocking me back a bit and these personal videos are a huge help man thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Uncle E. Chritsmas increases my depression a lot, so this is like a conversation with a good friend. I don't understand some words because English it's not my mother tongue but I feel better than this morning. Hugs
You are so dedicated, I can't believe how often you put out videos. I'm barely coming out of my first depressive episode of my life ( it's like hell on Earth to put it lightly) you know one of the thing's it took from me was my want and ability to experience ASMR. I watched these videos religiously, but depression keeps you isolated from what you love. It's so powerful, I'm glad to have survived and be able to enjoy little thing's again. Thank you 💖😴
Thank you so much Rift, for these late night ASMR Playlist, more helpful then i can put in words! Especially from someone whom is depressed, and seems to stsy in a high anxiety state ....
This really is helpful. I also love the touches such as the outside intro, welcoming the audience inside :) And I love the mix of serious discussion and ASMR object manipulation
Just wanted to say that Rift, you've helped me through so much. This year was by far the hardest of my (relatively short) life, and I'm so glad it's coming to an end. This new year I want to heal and recreate myself in a way that I can be happier. Not only do I suffer from anxiety but this year, I lost my dad. I've never had to deal with anything like that nor did I expect it in my fourteen years of life, so as you can imagine I lost myself in all the emotions and now is the time that I want to finally heal and continue living, because as Corvus says, there is no such thing as death, just stepping out of one car and into another.
Thanks for this one, E. Have had a lot of ups and downs and am currently in a down from a traumatic week last summer where my dad died from cancer and my boyfriend at the time was hospitalized in a coma from a suicide attempt, both of these happening within a few days of each other. It’s been a weird spring so far, snowing in April here! A lot of gloomy, colder than normal days. Thanks for your compassion and vulnerability here. You are a gentle soul and the world is the better for it. Thanks for devoting so much of your time just to help people get them tingles and ease them into sleep. I feel like I owe you a personal debt at this point. Peace to you and everyone on this channel.
as someone with SAD... thank you these words are very soothing. my life is an endless cycle of SAD and recovering from it and anticipating the next winter...
This came out exactly when I was going through some difficult times, I remember everyone around me being in the holidays spirit while I was basically suffering, I cant tell you how much this helped and comforted me. Thank you er for making these videos !
I too am a genetic depressive, Youngest of 3 sons out of 6 sibilings. And i'm the only male sibling without schizophrenia (but i'm still worried). Although I too like most folks deal with a lot of negative shit (not lately though), since I started taking anti-depression pills over a month ago. And i can't believe how much better and relaxed I feel inside. Better appetite, better sleeping pattern, less dark thoughts, less stress, more energy to do things i can't usually be bothered with. Do what you need to guys, and stay strong ✌
Even with my medication, the darkness that comes with winter is still affecting me pretty badly. Rift, your videos have really helped me get through a lot. Thanks for being there.
It’s been raining and dark for what feels like a month here, not one day of snow, I’d actually take the cold over the darkness, I remember prettier Januarys. It’s amazing how behaviors change as well, everyone in the community gets so grumpy it becomes difficult to be the sunshine for everyone. I just hope everyone feels better knowing winter is not forever and better days are to come :)
I came here to help take a depression nap so I can hit the fast forward button on my life for a bit and I honestly felt called out at 16:00 haha. I still woke up and realized the video was over and two hours had passed so thank you.
I used to sleep and eat excessively whenever I became stressed or depressed about any situation. sometimes it used to be for no reason.... for doing nothing maybe. nowadays, I try to do some home workout whenever I find myelf in such situations....just to remind myself that I can go through this, I can change this.....and it works for me.....it just pumps up the mind with the muscles!
too depressed to do much but the basics and going to work. i really appreciated seeing this after a long shift. you have a genuine quality about your words. thank you rift.
I generally love fall, winter, and the holidays that come with it. However, the lack of light, plus the hard times that's been happening right now, can really make the anxiety and depression intensify for seemingly no reason. Just had one of those moments, and this video seriously helped. Thank you so much.
Every video that Uncle E. Makes, it's art, all the illumination, the shadows, colors, sounds, moves, all on Uncle E's videos it's art for me, and i appreciate it
Today marked the end of a 3-day dissociative episode for me (longest I've ever had) which basically consisted of me laying in bed for 70+ hours and having an anxiety attack when I had to go to class. I think it's stress being brought on by my separation from home, especially around the holidays. Thankfully, I don't have it as bad as some others and am able to make efforts to improve things for me. So I woke up this evening feeling myself again and immediately started working towards my studies and keeping my mind busy so as to try and maintain the normalcy. Winter's always hit or miss for me but I thankfully haven't had a bad one in a while, so here's hoping for another good one. Sorry to be so personal, but I find this is a good place to vent my feelings and frustrations.
it used to happen to me untill like an year ago it just stopped. never happened since even though i changed houses and moved away 4 times after that. its just a phase trust me
It hits hard when your depression is so bad that you don't feel like doing anything. I can't even read or watch a movie, everything I do makes me feel bad and awful
I feel like Rift is the only one that i can talk to, even though he can’t hear me i just get that ‘safe’ feeling. In some ways he just understand me. Finally someone.
Truly grateful for making a video on this topic and speaking about it, would love to hear more on it, if ever you get out of ideas (which I am sure you won't). But, its nice to see people talk about it with an open mind and try and be supportive and helpful rather look at it from a different and a more opinionated way, sorta judgmental manner. Thanks again! Been battling depression for a decade now, and it sucks, cause I am just 23, and find no purpose in life. But this really made feel light, in the chest, even though it got really overwhelmed in the head. So yeah, thanks a lot. Hope you have a happy winter and wish you a cheerful holiday season!
Mr. Rift, Your videos helped me last year because the whole year was a dark time for me and whole family. Earlier last year, I've lost one of my closest uncles to suicide, then later one of my cousins husband returned from a mental hospital, one of my other uncles suffered 2nd degree burns and one of my aunts has stage 4 breast cancer and still fighting it. So thank you from the bottom of my heart from a fellow Pennsylvanian.
I didn’t realize how much winter affected my depression till this year (I used to really enjoy this season), thank you for this video, this is very comforting.
ER I love you man, I've been subscribed to you since 2013 and your content has helped me through some tough shit. Keep up the good work and good vibes!
Loved the open/closed sign! There’s just something about your kitchen that makes late night asmr very personal and cozy; of course, holding the ak-47 helped too.
Thank you for uploading this. I really needed it, my dad died 4 days ago and I've been a hot mess lately and nothing really seemed to help ASMR wise? But this seemed perfectly timed 💜
Thank you for making this. The holidays and winter is generally a bad time for me because my cycle of work gets ruined and I'm forced into situations that require my involvement with family and just.. general holiday joy. It's rough and sucks because I want to be happy, I just don't want it to be forced. And it feels weird to be sad during the "most wonderful time of the year". Anyways, I appreciate the recognition and validation!
I’m going through a major depressive episode right now. It’s always there but lately it’s been...very present. I think this video is something I need to watch, and thank you for posting it.
“You know, Life is unbeatable. It’s dangerous, complex, and unyielding. Any day you wake up and accept its challenge, you’ve won and if you ever win even just one time then you’re a winner.”
Depression to me is like being stuck in a pool at a birthday party and everyone can swim except for you, you can only drown while others enjoy their time in life.
Thank you for this. Been falling on some real hard times and it being winter sure doesn’t help. This was a good little pick me up. Keep doin what you’re doin as good as you’re doin it.
I’ve got glass bones and paper skin, my grandma lays an egg once a month, and my mother yells archaic names at midnight. I figured I’d complain about it on the internet RUclips section.
I work in a mental hospital and it's really hard on the staff too. It's a really rough time on the patients, and as someone diagnosed with depression before it's stressful. It's nice to hear validation
I really appreciate these ramblings brining light to depression. Your better company than my thoughts. Keep it up Uncle E! Much love from philly dilly.
New Englander here. At least this weather has been gradual in it's descent. Nature seems to be unusually merciful with giving us the time to acclimate.
Mainer here. November was fridgid which makes for a long winter. We get snow right into April. But the Winter Solstice is the shortest day and it's all uphill with daylight from there
Finished my last final today, this helped set a better tone for the incoming work week. I work retail and this time of year is really draining being an introvert. Thanks uncle E for this fantastic video.
For those with depressing, anxiety and other kind of this stuff, I suggest walking but no under the daylight, walk alone (you can put music if you want but I recommend without) at night. And walk slowly not rushed. It will change your perception
I like the winter. The air feels fresher when it's cold. Where I live it rains all year anyway so the fact that the sun barely rises above the horizon doesn't even bother me.
Thanks ER. Nov-Dec are probably my least favorite months since both of my parents have passed. But I'm 25 now and each year I become more and more able to cope with this time of year. Again, thanks
I feel that I’m very young for me being in this situation but I’m glad that I found this channel and specially this video. Thanks rift, greetings from Mexico. Keep the great work
This is exactly what I need right now. I really like your view on the world and I agree so much. I just wish my anxiety inducing flaws wouldn't be visible to be judged by others.

I live in Sweden and I’ve always had problems with the winter here. For me it’s just taking it one day at a time.
I thought you couldn't be stationed anywhere if your mental health isn't right

I'm currently dealing with depression. I've previously had a much harder and darker period, but I'm still dealing with it.

I hear ya. The only thing that keeps my depression at bay is my work in the trades. Other than construction, I have zero interest in anything else. Work is a strange addiction. No one will ever admit that earning one's living is a bad thing, however, if work is all one does, all of a sudden such a state becomes worrying. Yet, when the proposed solution is, well , "Not work." this cannot be done due to looming finacial burdens like rent, mortgage, and utilities.
For every day we take off to seek treatment, is every day we are not getting paid ourselves to pay for such treatment. So are we suppose to do?
Ginger beer is great.
I feel like I am reading about my life. Just replace ginger beer with apple soda. I’m glad that you can at least find some solace in ER’s videos. Hang in there. Hopefully that spark will come back to you. ⚡️

I encourage you to reread the third sentence and hope that you understand that I'm am not going to do that.
I had to take medication until i found a way to deal with the depression and anxiety in a different way. I totally get it.
For those who are fortunate enough to have medicine work for them, for the love of whatever you love, take it.
Uncle Rifty, I always watch your videos to get me through rough dark times of depression and anxiety. Thanks for being there.
Late night ASMR is the only ASMR.

YES late night asmr is my fav series 😴
Thank you for making this. The holidays and winter is generally a bad time for me because my cycle of work gets ruined and I'm forced into situations that require my involvement with family and just.. general holiday joy. It's rough and sucks because I want to be happy, I just don't want it to be forced. And it feels weird to be sad during the "most wonderful time of the year". Anyways, I appreciate the recognition and validation!
I’m going through a major depressive episode right now. It’s always there but lately it’s been...very present. I think this video is something I need to watch, and thank you for posting it.
“You know, Life is unbeatable.
It’s dangerous, complex, and unyielding. Any day you wake up and accept its challenge, you’ve won and if you ever win even just one time then you’re a winner.”
Depression to me is like being stuck in a pool at a birthday party and everyone can swim except for you, you can only drown while others enjoy their time in life.
Me: Late night? (Checks clock 12:03 PM) eh! Better go back to sleep!
I really dig the hair and the bearddddd I need a hermit asmr where Paul just strokes his hair and beard for an hour. xD
Thank you for this. Been falling on some real hard times and it being winter sure doesn’t help. This was a good little pick me up. Keep doin what you’re doin as good as you’re doin it.
*jumps in wheelchair* I have crippling depression!
WHOOO HOO CRIPPLING DEPRESSION.
I WANT TO DIE
*HELL YES*
WHAT A LOVELY DAY
MY BRAIN SAYS THAT ANYONE SPENDING TIME WITH ME IS JUST BEING POLITE
I always come back to this series. Thank you.
I like how we went from rice and water to tea to candy to keys to grass to platic wrap in a cup. I love those tasty little treats
I’ve got glass bones and paper skin, my grandma lays an egg once a month, and my mother yells archaic names at midnight. I figured I’d complain about it on the internet RUclips section.
I work in a mental hospital and it's really hard on the staff too. It's a really rough time on the patients, and as someone diagnosed with depression before it's stressful. It's nice to hear validation
I really appreciate these ramblings brining light to depression. Your better company than my thoughts. Keep it up Uncle E! Much love from philly dilly.
New Englander here. At least this weather has been gradual in it's descent. Nature seems to be unusually merciful with giving us the time to acclimate.
Mainer here. November was fridgid which makes for a long winter. We get snow right into April. But the Winter Solstice is the shortest day and it's all uphill with daylight from there
I like your beard. It makes you look manly, almost like Iggy Manley.
healthy testosterone keeps the depression away
Finished my last final today, this helped set a better tone for the incoming work week. I work retail and this time of year is really draining being an introvert. Thanks uncle E for this fantastic video.
"Thanks for coming in; wanna hold this Ak-47?" that made me laugh harder than it should have lmao
I love those hand movements! and your voice and words are always great to hear!
Never tried ASMR before... this is interesting.
I'm not depressed I just need some help falling asleep. I actually prefer the cooler, dry, gray weather of winter.
For those with depressing, anxiety and other kind of this stuff, I suggest walking but no under the daylight, walk alone (you can put music if you want but I recommend without) at night. And walk slowly not rushed. It will change your perception
I like the winter. The air feels fresher when it's cold. Where I live it rains all year anyway so the fact that the sun barely rises above the horizon doesn't even bother me.
You live in Phoenix?

Last time I came this early I had to buy a Plan B
What you did there, I SEE IT XD
Smart ass XD
Oh my Ghaaaaaad! 😂😂
the title is such a mood right now
Thanks ER. Nov-Dec are probably my least favorite months since both of my parents have passed. But I'm 25 now and each year I become more and more able to cope with this time of year. Again, thanks
Your work is the best therapy. better than the therapy I pay for. Thank you so so very much.
Seasonal depression seems to be backwards for me; sad in the warmer months/ sunny days and happy when it's cold and cloudy.
holy crap how'd you know i needed this uncle rift??
I have depression and it always gets to be the worst in winter. Thanks for the vid it actually helped a lot
That plastic wrap cup experience gave me SUCH extreme ASMR I'm like lost. How can it be that powerful? Crazy Stuff.
Man u don t know how much i need this thank you
Going through a break up, this actually helped a lot, thank you
My nana unfortunately passed away on the 23rd December a few years ago, so Christmas is always hard. Thank you for this video! It’s helped a lot!
The fact that you open videos like this with a sneaky old lady stealing tin foil 😂 excellent mood setter
Really needed this as I’m spending this winter without somebody
I really needed this video tonight, friend. Thank you!
I feel that I’m very young for me being in this situation but I’m glad that I found this channel and specially this video. Thanks rift, greetings from Mexico. Keep the great work
Oh my GOODNESS, I got a TRUCKTON of tingles when you "removed worrying thoughts"! It was SO GOOD!! 😍😍😍
This is exactly what I need right now. I really like your view on the world and I agree so much. I just wish my anxiety inducing flaws wouldn't be visible to be judged by others.
