Very Lost...

You know, some days I feel totally lost. I'm currently unemployed and just making YouTube videos, its obviously less suckish for me as I've never had a proper job so I don't know what having lots of money and all that jazz is like. But I think you'll be okay in the end, YouTube might never pan out for many of us but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Just put your feelings out there and people will respond, usually very nicely :)
Good luck

Thanks, that's really nice to hear!
 
One of the hardest things about YouTube is that it's entirely self-driven - you have to fund yourself, push yourself, and at the end of the day you're the only person you really to answer to if you haven't made a video. Which can be stressful. But also liberating, really. If you're feeling lost it might be a good idea to take a break and not put too much pressure on yourself to have ideas.
Whenever I get writer's block or feel completely uncreative I take a step back and breathe. Usually when you stop feeling pressure to create the ideas will slowly start to flow back to you :) It can also be nice to take a month or so just to consume (not food, lol) but other people's content. Watch the top youtubers and analyse their structure, read every random article on wikihow and imagine how you'd turn it into a video, watch people doing what you do in your videos on other forms of media (radio, TV, film).
And hopefully all the other life stuff will start to feel a bit more manageable if you take the pressure off yourself about YouTube - if in doubt just break it all down to really small steps and concentrate on one thing at a time.

Well, it's not really YouTube I'm worried about. While there are some frustrated aspects going on with it right now, I've taken breaks, and done what I could to be more creative. I'm not saying I can't make videos, or "complaining" about my own lack of content. I just feel like life in general is defeating me, has really nothing to do with YouTube. That's what I mean be exhausted all my resources in trying to make things work; taking breaks, and trying to find contentment.

YouTube really isn't the main problem, but thanks none the less :)
