Overview

The presenter explains that the long gap between uploads on his channel (the longest he’s had: 9 weeks) is due to a personal tragedy and its aftermath.

Personal Loss and Mourning

  • He says his girlfriend (with whom he lived for about 8 months) died.
  • He refuses to share detailed circumstances, describing the situation as an extremely severe event.
  • He records the video on July 14 and says he has been in a difficult state for roughly three months and a day.

Psychological and Physical Deterioration Over Time

First days (about 3–4 days)

  • Shock
  • Poor eating
  • Almost no sleep (around 3 hours)
  • Feeling unable to function normally

First month

  • He describes a “mobilized” period:
    • Repeated crying
    • Yet still managing to create content
  • He connects this phase to working on and finishing a long video project, including Arnold’s Triumph, which he started earlier and completed after the death.

After ~1 month / ~5 weeks

  • A shift into psychological shock
  • Decline in vitality
  • Psychosomatic problems

Back pain period (around May 20 to early/mid July)

  • Severe stress-related pain centered in his back
  • He treated it (including anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen)
  • He says the pain is now much improved, with about a week without the acute pain
  • This improvement allows him to walk, sit, and lie down with less difficulty

Chest / “solar plexus” and digestive symptoms

  • He reports intense crying leading to suppressed crying-related pain
  • Symptoms he describes include:
    • Stabbing/penetrating pain in the solar plexus area
    • Phantom nausea sensations
    • Psychosomatic vomiting
    • Psychosomatic heartburn (worst heartburn of his life)
  • He frames these symptoms as stress/crying manifesting physically, especially involving the diaphragm area

Coping and Support

  • He emphasizes that people need distraction, and that working on something he loves helped.
  • He specifically credits a game, Expedition 33, for helping him through themes of death.
  • He also considers doing a philosophical analysis of death in relation to the game.

Channel-Related Explanation and Mental Load

He says running the channel has been hard and explains several reasons:

  • Content pressure: His content is mainly mathematics, which he feels ties him to a “stuffy” academic atmosphere and creates pressure to be correct.

  • Internal self-censorship: He avoids stating things he isn’t fully confident are accurate, fearing criticism and responsibility.

  • Difficulty handling certain audiences: He finds it hard to deal with highly educated viewers who are “too smart/stuffy” and challenge content aggressively.

    • Example: he stopped trying to write about psychoanalysis after intense criticism from self-proclaimed specialists.
    • Despite overall positive feedback: Even though his videos receive statistically strong positive reactions (very high like-to-dislike rates and positive comments), he still struggles with alternative opinions and criticism.

Next Steps and Request for Support

  • He says he may take a break, but plans to resume soon.
  • He expects a new video in about three weeks, describing it as “non-standard” and interesting.
  • He thanks viewers and asks for support, including mentioning Boost for financial support.
  • He says that explaining everything has made him feel better and that he hopes the audience understands.
