Josh opens up about numbness, debt, food struggles, and mental health during Awareness Month — an unfiltered vlog about survival, hope, and honesty.

Social Description:
This might be my rawest video ever. From job struggles to emotional eating, loneliness, and debt — here’s my real talk during Mental Health Awareness Month.

Opening Up for Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — and Josh decided to go all in with brutal honesty. Instead of polished clips or lighthearted edits, he shared the raw truth of what he’s been going through: job struggles, financial stress, emotional eating, and the weight of feeling numb to everything.

Out of Work & Losing Structure

Josh opened up about being out of work for nearly two months after his FedEx truck broke down. Without the consistency of a daily routine, he spiraled into bad habits — skipping the gym, eating more, and losing motivation.

Structure, he explained, isn’t just about making money. It’s what keeps him grounded, healthy, and mentally stable. Without it, life began to unravel.

Emotional Eating & Feeling Numb

“Everything’s just numb… and the only thing I can feel is when I eat.”

Josh described turning to food for comfort. Eating became the one thing that gave him temporary relief from the emptiness — even if it left him feeling worse afterward. From binging candy to chasing that full feeling, he recognized the cycle but admitted how hard it is to break.

Debt, Regret & Isolation

On top of food struggles, debt and financial stress piled on. Josh shared openly about credit cards, overspending, and the fear of digging himself into a hole too deep to climb out of.

Loneliness and regret also weighed heavily — from lost friendships to isolation — but Josh reminded himself (and his audience) that being honest is better than bottling it up.

Hitting a Breaking Point

Josh admitted he’s had days where giving up crossed his mind. But instead of hiding that, he chose to share it:

“Maybe I’m just one really bad day away from giving up. But I keep trying.”

It was one of the most vulnerable moments of the vlog, proving that being open about mental health can help others feel less alone.

A New Job & A Fresh Start

Despite the struggles, Josh ended the video with hope. He landed a new FedEx schedule — one that will help him pay down debt while giving him space to keep making videos. Pairing work, YouTube, and even Uber Eats runs, he laid out a plan to rebuild consistency and move forward.

“Two videos a week, debt paid off, and a fresh routine. This is the plan.”

Final Thoughts

Mental health is messy. It’s not linear. And for Josh, this video wasn’t about pretending everything’s okay — it was about being real.

His message for Mental Health Awareness Month?
- Be kind to yourself.
- Be kind to others.
- Take life one step at a time.

I Went to a Concert Alone – Here’s What Happened
Going to concerts has never really been Josh’s thing. He’s not into celebrity culture, raves, or massive festivals. But when it comes to Grace VanderWaal, it’s different.

Josh has been a fan of Grace since middle school, back when she won America’s Got Talent. He even made one of his first YouTube videos about her. Over the years, her music has been a source of comfort—so when he saw tickets for just $25, he knew he had to go.

This time, Josh went alone. No date, no friends, no distractions—just him, the music, and the moment. At first, it felt awkward. Sitting by himself, he worried people might stare. But soon he realized nobody cared. The crowd was there for the same reason he was: to experience the music.

When Grace walked on stage, it hit him. The energy, the art, the performance—it was more than just a concert. For Josh, it was a reminder of how powerful music can be, especially when life feels heavy.

This wasn’t his first Grace concert, either. He’s been to three shows now, each marking a different era of his life. One time he even brought a date—but let’s just say it didn’t go well (they never texted again). Another time, he had a birthday cake with her face on it. Awkward? Maybe. Memorable? Absolutely.

Now, after going solo, Josh realized something important: sometimes the best experiences happen when you’re not afraid to go alone.

Would he do it again? Absolutely. In fact, he’s already waiting for the next Grace VanderWaal concert to roll around.

My Day As A FedEx Truck Driver
🚛 A Day in the Life of a “Failed” YouTuber | FedEx Truck Driver Vlog

🛑 The Honest Grind

Josh started the vlog not with fancy B-roll, but with toothpaste and floss. That’s how real this vlog was — brushing his teeth in his friend’s spare room before gearing up for another long FedEx shift.

He admitted it straight up: “This is the day in the life of a failed YouTuber.” No sugarcoating, no clickbait. Just him, his truck, his prep meals, and the endless grind of driving hours every day while holding on to a dream.

💪 Meal Prep & Discipline

Josh showed off his minimalist “two meals a day” setup — each one packed with 100g of protein and around 1,000 calories. The goal? To stay locked in on weight loss while still having the energy for 8+ hour drives.

But as he said mid-bite: “I’m so sick of eating meat.” Relatable chaos.

🍰 Portillo’s Cake Delivery (The Iowa Surprise)

One of the highlights came when Josh carried a Portillo’s chocolate cake all the way from Chicago to Iowa for the crew that helps him at the FedEx terminal.

Why? Because Hope, a kind dispatcher, always hooked him up with easier loads. Josh wanted to give her and the team a taste of Chicago love.

Did they cry? No. Did they appreciate it? Yeah. Did Josh still feel awkward delivering it? 100%.

🛻 The Truck Driver POV

Josh took viewers through the behind-the-scenes of FedEx life: connecting dollies, safety checks, fueling up, and battling construction traffic. He explained how FedEx doesn’t play around when it comes to safety — and he’s learned the hard way to always triple-check.

From Cedar Rapids sunsets to late-night drives back into Chicago, the vlog gave a raw look at blue-collar life.

😩 Burnout & Real Talk

Between sips of energy slushies from Casey’s and the hum of long highway stretches, Josh got real about his situation:
- He’s been working 7 days a week with barely any sleep.
- YouTube hasn’t paid the bills (yet).
- He still has about $6,000 of debt to pay off.
- And he’s constantly exhausted, bouncing between gym, work, and filming.
“Consistency doesn’t guarantee success,” he admitted. “You can do everything right on YouTube and maybe… it just never happens.”

Still, Josh refuses to quit. Even if it means trucking by day and editing by night.

🚛 Final Thoughts

At 12:30 a.m., exhausted and sweaty, Josh signed off. Another day in the endless cycle. Work, gym, YouTube, repeat.

It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t clickbait. It was real. And that’s why people keep watching Josh — because he shows the side of chasing dreams that no one else posts about.

Trying to have a postive day in Chicago
Trying to Have a Positive Day in Chicago 🌆 | The Creator Josh

A Sunday With No Plan

Josh kicked off this video with no direction, no script, and no big adventure—just the simple goal of trying to have a positive day in Chicago. Sometimes that’s harder than it sounds. With the gym closed and laundry piling up, he decided to just drive, reflect, and film whatever the day brought.

Car Washes, Stickers, and Small Annoyances

His first stop? A car wash. What should’ve been a quick errand turned into a whole ordeal of upsells and frustrations. Still, Josh found humor in the chaos, joking about his band-aid car sticker covering a dent and reminding himself that little annoyances don’t define the day.

Deep Thoughts in the Driver’s Seat

Driving through the quiet forest preserves, Josh opened up about bigger struggles—loneliness, identity, and feeling “stuck.” He reflected on memories of watching planes with his dad, and how isolating himself has become both a habit and a coping mechanism.

“The whole world revolves around talking to people… and sometimes I just forget how.”

Montrose Beach & Searching for Calm

Josh eventually pulled up to Montrose Beach, a place that’s always brought him peace. Even though he barely stayed five minutes before retreating to the comfort of his car, the act of being there reminded him that small steps forward still count.

Throwing a Coin at a Fresh Start

Later, he made his way to Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, one of Chicago’s most iconic spots. With a single quarter in hand, Josh tossed it (and missed, 😂) but still treated it as a symbol of a fresh start: committing to better habits, a stronger mindset, and positive vibes moving forward.

Outro: Still Here, Still Trying

As night fell, Josh wrapped up the day with a simple message—we got this. Life doesn’t change overnight, but effort matters. Even if it’s just driving around, reflecting by the water, or tossing a coin at a fountain, he reminded himself (and anyone watching) that progress comes in small, imperfect steps.

Josh’s 3-Day No Food Challenge: Water, Coffee, and Willpower
By The Creator Josh
🎥 Watch the full video here

Meta Description:

Josh attempts a brutal fasting challenge — no food, just water, coffee, and electrolytes. From dizzy workouts to deep dish pizza cravings, here’s what happened when he tried to last 14 days without eating.

The Challenge Begins

Josh started with one last meal before hitting the timer. The rules were simple: no food, only water, black coffee, and electrolytes. His goal? Survive 14 days without eating.

At 216 pounds, Josh wanted more than weight loss — this was about discipline, mental toughness, and proving he could push through discomfort.

“It’s all in the head. If I can control my hunger, I can control anything.”

Hunger, Cravings & CiCi’s Pizza

The first couple days weren’t easy, but they weren’t impossible either. Josh pushed through morning grogginess, constant coffee runs, and gym sessions — all while burning massive calories without refueling.

But the cravings hit hard. CiCi’s Pizza, his favorite all-you-can-eat buffet, haunted his dreams. He admitted to watching pizza videos online just to cope.

Dizzy Workouts & Sleep in the Tesla

By day two, Josh began feeling lightheaded. He still hit the gym, determined to keep up with cardio and weight training, but admitted the dizziness reminded him of being drunk.

When he wasn’t working out, he was often sleeping in his Tesla, sometimes for 12+ hours at a time. Sleep became a way to escape hunger, but also left him groggy and off-balance during the day.

Life Outside the Fast: Job Hunting & Struggles

Beyond fasting, Josh opened up about life challenges. He had been job hunting, even interviewing for a pizza delivery job in Chicago — ironic, considering his obsession with pizza. But sleeping in his car made the logistics tough, and he ultimately backed out.

At the same time, he was juggling unpaid work frustrations, applying for unemployment, and debating whether to keep truck driving or find something new.

“I don’t want a normal job. I want YouTube. But I still have to survive.”

70 Hours In: Breaking Point 🍕

Josh managed to fast for 70 hours — just under 3 days — before temptation won. The culprit? Chicago deep dish pizza.

Armed with a gift card and hunger-fueled logic, he rationalized the decision: “If I’m going to break it Friday at CiCi’s anyway, why not now?”

He admitted it wasn’t the healthiest way to end a fast, going straight from water and coffee to thousands of calories of cheese and crust.

Still, he owned it. “I failed the challenge… but I’m going to try again.”

What Josh Learned

Even though he didn’t make it to 14 days, Josh walked away with lessons about:
- Discipline – Hunger is as much mental as physical.
- Vulnerability – Struggles with food, work, and living in a car are part of the bigger story.
- Persistence – Failure isn’t final; he plans to attempt the challenge again.
Final Thoughts

Josh’s No Food Challenge wasn’t about a perfect outcome — it was about documenting the real process, cravings, struggles, and messy reality of fasting while chasing bigger dreams.

And if you’ve ever wondered how long you could last without food? Josh just proved it’s harder than it looks.
