    Honestly getting a 9 to 5 pretty much saved me. It got me the daily structure my life desperately needed.

      Working a 9-5 over the last several years is probably one of the few things that has kept. me from falling into a deep deep depression.

      I felt myself become a different person on my 27th birthday. I wonder if it's just me (and my brother I talked to about this) the older you get the more sure you are of who you are? I know it makes sense, but it was still surprising to me 😅

  • @PurplePower71
    @PurplePower71 3 месяца назад +397

    You’re so fucking real for this and a breath of fresh air. I was in a similar position as you a few years ago where I was freelancing and basically making no money because I was too depressed to make myself work. I made the decision to get a 9-5 when I thought I’d never do it. Starting that job honestly saved me, I needed that stability! I did the 9-5 for about a year until I started getting the itch for a job with a bigger purpose and started selling my art at markets and teaching art at a local studio and as a travel art teacher in schools.
    I never would have gotten to this point if I didn’t get that job to get me back on stable ground. So hold on, keep doing what you’re doing and find your footing. There’s no rush. Your higher purpose is forming right in front of you and you are following each step exactly as intended 🤍🤍🤍 so proud of you!!!! I thought of you last week &,
    I checked your channel and hoped you were doing okay, so I am relieved to see this video.

      I'm in such a similar position right now! I have a great 9-5 and supportive bosses as well as a crochet business that I bring to local markets. I feel so fulfilled and life finally is starting to feel stable. I'm so glad she posted this and gave us all a glimpse into a normal life.

    i've been going through a depressive episode and if it weren't for my full time job, i would have absolutely crumbled. having that job and pay consistency and security sincerely saved me. congrats!

  • @adelondrasova
    @adelondrasova 3 месяца назад +58

    to be honest after dropping out of college i was stuck in a consistent 3 year long depressive episode, literally rotting away and getting a 9-5 literally saved my life and my mental health !! it seems counterintuitive, because i was used to having like a 3 month long periods of doing practically nothing but the structure, routine and real responsibility keeps my head above the ground.
    hopefully it helps you as well !! wishing the best for you and hopefully you will still make videos on here or tiktok too !!

  • @sylvielafleur
    @sylvielafleur 3 месяца назад +20

    @Dominika3458 3 месяца назад +22

    I honestly feel this video so much. I struggle with depression and anxiety a lot and I personally feel like my 9-5 is such a good distraction most of the time and it forces me to keep a routine and it’s honestly keeping me above water most days. So your video is so real and relatable. I absolutely love that you have a job that you love with people that you like! ❤

  • @hunterlecole226
    @hunterlecole226 3 месяца назад +5

    i can honestly say that my 9-5 helps me so much. it gives me a set schedule and i can freely know how it’s going to go and when to play all my fun time.
    you’re such a fresh breath of air for being so raw and honest. i am so incredibly proud of you.

  • @sammyfigs
    @sammyfigs 3 месяца назад +11

    I’m so happy for you!!! Now content creation can be your creative outlet and can be more of a fulfillment/relax thing instead of something you HAVE to do to survive. I feel like following trends and having to track views/revenue must be so exhausting for creators.

    • @basicallyreese
      @basicallyreese  3 месяца назад +12

      yeah i have a hard time following trends that i'm not interested in and it's hard to get videos out into the algorithm that aren't following what's popular - i love making videos, but my own style is not what's gonna bring in the full time income lol

    @ashleyf450 3 месяца назад +2

    I can relate to what you're saying about things like depression and anxiety and the insomnia and the burnout from posting videos on a regular basis. I have taken a step back from posting videos for a little bit. But come September I will have been working at my job for a year and i also like my job and the people I work with. It does me good to get out of the house and break up the monotony of things.
    Anyway sorry for the long rant but I felt like sharing my thoughts and I'm glad that you have found something that helps you deal with everything and I'm glad you found something that makes you happy and keep up the good work 👍🙂.

    girl, we're literally in the same damn timeline. i felt like absolute shit in the months leading up to my 25th birthday in december and the last 6 months since then have probably been THE months in which my whole outlook on life just.. changed. i always just though "yah, right", whenever I heard people talk about the changes you go through mentally when you're around 25, but damn. it's so true.

    Also the face dismorphia: i cant believe you also experience that, i tbought i was the only one! I literally look at my face sometimes and trip out that it's me, my face.

    I personally could never work from home even though I have social anxiety and am introverted. I need to be around other people and have some sort of structure forced upon me by other people. I don’t know how people can work from home and make their own schedules. My brain just doesn’t work that way, lol.

    you’ve been with me in my mental health journey all along!
    i really feel conected with your journey and i have felt the same things so many times
    i think you are such a creative person and i relate maybe too much😅 i feel THE SAME about coffee, i really felt that i needed it to exist and do the bare minimum
    i’ve been recently diagnosed with inattentive adhd and i feel so much freedom now
    and i feel like maybe many of us as a comunity, may be neurodivergent…
    whats makes me wonder… maybe you could be too?
    im sorry because i think that maybe is a rough aproach, im argentinan and my english is not very good so im not very good at making a point🙃
    you are SUCH a nice and amazing person and your content inspires me
    thank you reese for sharing little bits of your life and i wish you always the best❤️
