If you're a fan of YouTube star Michelle Phan, you might want to know where she's been in the past year. It turns out that Pan, who has more than 8 million subscribers on YouTube and 2.1 million fans on instagram, bought a one-way ticket to Switzerland with only one suitcase and a strong desire to unplug it.

, Pan Tingting talked about her depression because of her constant busyness and constant pressure to keep her online.

-I'm really sad and I think I might be depressed. So I checked one on the Internet & 39; Are you depressed? 39; Test, & quot; Explain phan. & The first one says you're frustrated, and then I open more labels and do 10 different tests, and get the same results. It's a wake-up call for me. & quot;

She knows that her anxiety over the Internet, coupled with her tremendous efforts in EM cosmetics, will eventually collapse with L'Oreal before the brand finally fails in 2016. Pan recalled her thoughts at the time: "I can't do that. I am not just an entrepreneur and businesswoman, I can go all out, fast, fast, fast, fast, fast, fast, without breaking down in some way. & Quote;

When she suddenly left the Internet --- there were no new YouTube videos or Instagram posts for months --- fans must have noticed. Some even left a message to her that she was dead. But she just needs to take a good rest and stay away from the Internet. & It's a way to show my followers that even people like me need a break; it's unrealistic to keep pressing him. & quot;

and now the makeup master has come back greatly. In 2015, her cosmetics subscription company, ipsy, raised $100 million, so she decided to buy EM cosmetics back from L'Oreal. Pan realized that she wanted to reintroduce the brand and had complete freedom to make her own decisions. She told Refinery 29, "My soul is in it, and that's what I really put in. It's a company that really belongs to me. & quot;

Pan's greatest change in life? She's not afraid of failure. She's focused on the present. She lives for herself. It sounds like the secret of success. Welcome back, Pan! What do you think of

? Did you take an online test to help you understand your health? Do you think work exhausts you? How do you take a break and pull out the plug?
