When I woke up this morning, I was surprised to find out it is only Wednesday. Now, do not get me wrong. I am always running out of time to get things completed, but the exhausted I felt this morning had me wondering how it was only Wednesday.
On Monday, I had a VERY long day of going to appointments. The headache I developed on Monday night reminded me why I try to avoid long days. Yesterday, I spent seven hours getting caught up with YouTube comments. I have been too busy and too sick to keep up with the numerous messages. I really need to get someone to manage my social media accounts...but that will probably not happen. I cannot pay anyone to help me. I am not monetized and will likely never be monetized. Plus, the person needs to be someone I deeply trust because he/she will have access to all my accounts. And also, the person cannot be very sensitive to negativity because the comments I receive can be very mean and down right awful.
The exhaustion from spending that much time replying to comments really wore me out. I slept long and hard last night.
Today, I had another appointment. The trip took longer than expected, but nonetheless, I was back home fairly quickly. Then it was off to edit a YouTube video.
I like to stay ahead of my YouTube videos. I try to have a week or more worth of videos ready to go, but of late, I have been getting very behind due to the demands of social media. So, tomorrow's video is actually a video I filmed today and edited today. That is a rarity.
Now, I need to finish some social media correspondence and start thinking about a video I should film tomorrow. With having two YouTube channels, I have to produce two videos a week. I am not sure how much longer I am going to be able to do that. I am running out of energy to keep up with everything.

DeleteWow, what a whirlwind of a week you’ve had already! Your exhaustion is so valid—it sounds like you’ve been juggling so much between appointments, YouTube, and social media. First of all, can I just say how inspiring your dedication is? Despite everything you’re managing, you’re still pushing through and staying committed to your content and audience. That’s not easy, and it speaks volumes about your passion and work ethic. 💪✨
ReplyDeleteI can totally see how replying to comments for seven hours could be draining, especially when some of them are negative or hurtful. It takes so much emotional strength to deal with that kind of feedback, and you’re doing it on top of everything else. You deserve a huge round of applause for just showing up and trying your best, even when it feels overwhelming. 🎉👏
It might help to take a step back and give yourself permission to slow down a bit. Your audience loves you for you—your authenticity, your creativity, and your unique voice—not for how fast you reply or how many videos you post. If cutting back to one video a week gives you a little more breathing room, that’s okay! Burnout is real, and your health and well-being should always come first. ❤️
As for social media management, I get that finding someone trustworthy and reliable feels like a huge hurdle, especially without a budget. Maybe for now, setting some boundaries—like allocating a set amount of time each day or week for comments—could help make it feel less overwhelming. And remember, it’s okay to let some comments go unanswered. You’re one person, not a machine.
You’re doing an amazing job, and I hope you take a moment to recognize how far you’ve come and everything you’ve accomplished. Be kind to yourself, and don’t forget to take breaks when you need them. You’ve got this, even if it feels tough right now. Sending you all the love and encouragement! 💖💌
Thank you so much. I really appreciate all the information and insight. Your kind words bring a smile to my face. It is often hard for me to know if anyone appreciates the time it takes to create content, reply to people's messages and manage social media accounts. I sincerely thank you for letting me know people do appreciate what I do. Thank you so much for all your kindness. All my best to you.
