YouTube star Joe Weller has decided to tell his fans that he is going to leave YouTube for a while.
The 21-year-old spoke about his problems with creativity and how he is lacking inspiration for content.
He also openly admitted that his depression could be part of the problem as he broke down in tears in his announcement video.
Previously, Weller has used his platform to talk to over 4m followers about his battle with mental health problems.
He educated his audience about what causes depression and what it is like living with it on a daily basis.
He also talked in depth about the options people can use to help themselves, like medication or a therapist.
The video received positive feedback and his fans were glad he was able to talk about such a taboo subject.
The YouTuber has also used his fame to get involved with football charity matches alongside other YouTubers to raise money.
However, recently fans have been worried as Weller had been uploading very little and tweeting his fans that he was uninspired.

There aren't enough people who speak openly/honestly like this. Mad respect. Hope you find what you need in time, Joe. All the best.
