So I’m usually feeling put down with hurt pain and anxiety, but I can’t help but share the happiness I feel from Jesus. After reading the Bible I feel better and clearer. It’s like a break
What parents basically think is that we are only in the second stage of depression where we still try to do things that make us happy but they don't. Parents believe that we aren't happy because we don't try to do hobbies, go out, do fun stuff. They don't realise that we've tried everything for years and too many bad things happened and now nothing can ever make us happy anymore. At some point you become too scared to even laugh or smile out of fear of your parents thinking you are faking it. My parents haven't done anything for my mental health ever... except sometimes cry when I have a final nervous breakdown. Then they forget.
I love this girl! Thank you for being so open about your mental health, these are really great tips 💕 I also struggle with anxiety and depression and I definitely realized it was at it's worst when I was turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms and had a terrible sleep schedule. And omg I get so hyperfocused on editing and doing work too and I literally never remember to take breaks- it's really so important!!
Omg your cat watching the water run 😭 I love how you're so open about MH and spreading awareness! I tend to feel low in the winters and colder days, so I try to apply a lot of these into my daily routine! such as eating fully balanced meals, creating a good sleep schedule and putting my energy into something I enjoy! This was so nice to watch and hear your experience! thank you for sharing with us 💕
He's so cute, it's funny how fascinated he is with running water. I try to be honest about my mental health because I know a lot of people are probably feeling similar things. The winter can be brutal, I need to focus on doing those things too! I really appreciate the sweet comment :)
Such an important video. I have a little brother that goes through depression or stress I am not sure what it is but he calls me a lot wanting some advice. This video was helpful for me to pass on.
Hey I'm here from Ashleigh's video! Self care is so important and something I wish I had learned about when I was younger! Finding healthy coping mechanisms really makes all the difference. Cleaning, journaling, mediation, even just deep breaths or breaks from electronics can be so nice. I find if I do the big things like eating, bathing, sleeping ect the small things fall into place and visa versa 🙂
Thank you for coming over and watching my video! I totally agree, those things can make such a difference eat calming me down. I really appreciate the sweet comment 💕
I really love this video and was thinking of doing something similar💞 I wanted to see if I can start a challenge🤔 a “taking care of you” challenge were youtubers share how they take care of themselves mentally. This is such an important video I really appreciate this so much
Yes girl. Before I had my daughter I used alcohol and drugs to cope with my anxiety and depression & it was gasoline to the fire. I had to ditch all of that crap and it helped immensely. It’s no magic cure, but it was a game changer. Love your channel. I think phone breaks are super important too! I can feel my anxiety increasing by being on here too much Xoxoox
Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it! Thats a great way of describing it, "gasoline to the fire", it kept me spiralling in a negative loop. Now I'm also done all of that stuff and life isn't perfect but it's much better! XOX
These were such great tips! The very first one about eating....when my anxiety levels get high I have a hard time eating and that makes it so much worse. Great reminder to make sure I'm nourishing my body. So many great points. Sometimes it's hard to reach out for help, but support is so essential.
I love this. I have been scrolling around here in yt to look for suitable videos to watch. You know why--when u want to sleep because u are depressed but ur anxiety keeps u awake hayssss (big sigh)
This is such a great content. Continue sharing awareness on how to take care of yourself esp during this pandemic ✨ we all need this kind of video xx ♥️♥️🌿🌿
Aww thank you so much! Everyone has struggles- especially while we're all locked away in isolation, so I think its important to discuss it so it is not stigmatized
hay!! i’m a new subscriber and want to support you along the way❤️ i wanna say good job on your videos and love the way you’re open up to your channel!
Although major depression is the final stage of depression where nothing makes us happy anymore, I do believe somewhere deep in my heart that if my ex came and asked me for forgiveness and we finally moved on .. I wouldn't be majorly depressed. I'm heartbroken and crying at 3:30 am... It's been a year since we broke up .. can't find a psychologist.
Hi Alexandra, I suffer from depression anxiety and adhd. I stumbled across your Chanel because I am thinking of getting 2 rats 🐀 🐀 for company. Thank you for sharing this is my new favourite place. 😍
All of these tips are helpful. I love the one about just be with yourself!👍 Agreed, there’s waaaaay tooo much stimulation from all of the devices and even lights from outside or music blaring in a store....tooo much! We have to be silent😶 Thank you😊💞
You're beautiful my dear. I try to clean up my kitchen especially the dishes before going to bed so I can feel fresh and happy in the morning.Well spoken
When I was younger I never used to talk about my problems and it just used to built up and then it would come out in a fit of rage, then when I started going to councilling sessions,I could literally feel the weight being lifted off my shoulders after every session, it helped so much! Sorry I’ve just spammed your comments 😂
This was really helpful, I’ve been struggling with sleep at the moment and trying not to spend all my time worrying about things I can’t sort at the current time! It’s hard, but hopefully this will pass! Thanks for a great video
Love these type of videos! I have chronic anxiety so this helps so much. Thanks for sharing love. And love that we have the same name! Hope to keep in touch ❤️
For a few days during vlogmas I was hardly eating anything which I found strange because normally I love food and I had to force myself to eat and I really didn’t want to but I always felt better after eating

Do it! It is such an important topic that people should be talking about because we all experience it in some form. That is such a great idea!

I wouldn't be majorly depressed. I'm heartbroken and crying at 3:30 am... It's been a year since we broke up .. can't find a psychologist.
I love that! I need a social media detox once a day for at least an hour
me too! It can be so overstimulating and I find that I rarely get anything positive out of scrolling for hours.
This is so honest and beautifully filmed, explained! 🧡
Thank you so much!
