“It’s been a busy week so far with a couple things worth noting,” Rick wrote. He posted two photos, including one of a poorly decorated cake, and added a lengthy caption. Rick shared some very positive news on Facebook yesterday. When I’m ready, I will be gold mining again. And I think that’s - I don’t know if you ever know. Once again, that’s the frustrating thing about it, I don’t know what’s causing it. Or, you know, I have her house and, like, I haven’t been there in two years, and, you know, I probably need to go there, I think, to face it. ![]() Zee brought up my mother passing, and you know, I don’t like talking about it because he’s not wrong. I am doing better, but it’s, uh - there’s just a lot of things that I don’t understand still, you know, with what I’m - whatever this is I’m going through. In a confessional, Rick elaborated more about his state of mind at the time that the scene was filmed: “I haven’t been able to go up there,” Rick admitted. He revealed to Zee that he owns his mother’s house and “it’s like she never left right now.” He added that he hadn’t been to the house in two years. Rick admitted that he was still struggling with her death. Zee asked whether or not the passing of Rick’s mother in 2018 was still having an impact. “It’s tough for me to accept because I didn’t grow up like that,” Rick added. “I mean, there’s seasonal affective disorder that they think I have, and then just depression at night,” he revealed. ![]() ![]() “I always do, you know? I put in so many hours up there, you know? I spend a couple weeks - I just sleep and I catch up, right? This year I just haven’t been able to get out of that.” “I got back from mining last year and, you know, I crashed hard,” Rick said to Zee after being asked why he didn’t return to mine this season. However, that disappointment turned to concern after crew member and friend Zee paid Rick a visit on camera at his Milwaukee home and Rick revealed that he was struggling with depression and seasonal affective disorder. Gold Rush fans were extremely disappointed to find out that miner Rick Ness was not coming back for Season 13.
