Mental Health in Streaming 

I wanted to take a chance to post this to anyone who is out there (especially the streamers/viewers). 

Streaming is an incredibly demanding thing when it comes to mental health. There are so many things to think about. I should've done xyz, why are they not watching anymore, stream x amount of hours and then make vids on other socials, family/friends questioning, comparison to others, etc. On top of all of that, many people seem to view it as if their stream is not growing or it has dropped in viewership that it is a direct reflection of who they are or their value. 

It really is a catch 22 because while battling these feelings we are also required to have a strong mental health and entertain people sometimes for 40+ hours a week. 

I guess I wanted to reach out and just say you are not alone. I miss the mark. I feel not good enough. I wonder why people leave. I get jealous of others' success. I wish I had more. 

I think there is a crucial moment when these thoughts come in. We have a decision to let these thoughts rule our entire streaming existence or to realize they are just a bunch of lies. We are here to create. We are here to inspire. We are here for the individual as much as we are here for the masses. 

We are not in competition with anyone but ourselves and I for one am not gonna let these lies win in the end. I hope the same for you friends. <3 

Twitch's 10 Year Anniversary is coming up! They will be adding Animated Emotes, Follower Emotes and a Library for Emotes (see picture below). What are your thoughts on this? I think this looks so awesome!! Can't wait to see how this is implemented 🎉🎉🎉🎉 

What do you think is the best chatbot for Twitch? 

Thank you all so much for 5,000 subs! So happy that I could help you all on your journey of creating even if just in a small way! Super excited to keep creating new and helpful vids! ❤️🎉
