It's nice to see someone with the same four illnesses as me doing a cleaning video, instead of seeing the same rich supermum of four with their fancy house, tons of energy and flexing all of their pricey cleaning gadgets and vacuum cleaners.
"How I clean when I'm depressed is that... usually I do not clean at all." ACCURATE. I know those feelings so well. No kids over here, just cats - but there are 3 of them and some days it's all I can do to make sure they get fed on time. Today is better than yesterday. Good luck to you as well.
This is me now. 6 animals. I’m mentally exhausted and I don’t want to leave my couch. But I need to clean or there will be hair everywhere... I hate it
Laying on my couch, depressed, looking with dread at my kitchen, watching this was reassuring and almost like practicing the motions in my head while I worked up the oomf to get up. I have anxiety, cptsd, adhd and depression is kicking my butt atm. Thank you, I'll aim for those small victories.
100% I needed this today , needed it so many times in my life too the point out of all the disorders I sometimes wish I had OCD rather than depression, anxiety PTSD and Agraphobia Got alot of friends with OCD and I mean to ask does it kick the shit out them having that like its does depression , but really fail to see how it can if they can conjure the energy to do it in the first place , I know the anxiety plays a part in that motivation but it's still getting you moving and releasing those endorphins . It's not even so much that the mess bothers me it's that it bothers others that it works that whole being judged like your lazy . My first job was a chamber maid and we would get 11 mins to clean the room bathrooms sometime have alot of your buses in and the place would be a riot so you would get say 100 rooms and be allocated that time to do them it's a great thing to do when your cleaning like the one mins rule or clean as you go rule.. but in theory me sticking to rituals and being orginsied feels like a torture in itself , despite the fact I know it's so much less hasstle if only we could all just flip a energy switch .. Just glad to have found this video if anything I feel slightly less alone . ❣
@@juliesanderson9398 I'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but I have OCD and it's extremely tough sometimes. It has caused me to have all of those other things you listed at some point, anxiety and depression especially. It definitely doesn't always make you more motivated. It does the opposite to me. I am by no means a neat freak. I was when I was a kid, but the obsessiveness can change to different aspects in life. The toll on your mind is what leads to anxiety and depression. They are all interconnected. I have trouble finding motivation to clean because it causes anxiety and feels overwhelming. I think about how I'm going to do it, and always naturally feel there is a right way to do it, and if I don't do something perfectly it's a failure. The more I put things off, the more overwhelming they seem. Probably not a lot different than you or other people who don't have OCD. I'm not criticizing you at all, but it really bothers me when people think OCD is a good thing and everyone who has it is always clean and organized. That couldn't be farther from the truth. It's often paralysis by analysis.... obsessing leads to you not doing anything, and it feels like you're stuck and can't move.
I found this video while searching for ways to maintain a clean home while depressed. I had no idea exactly how helpful and reassuring your video would be for me. I suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and BPD also. Thank you for posting this. Thank you for being someone I can relate to. Thank you for showing me I'm not alone. I hope you post more content like this
Opening up and admitting you’re not doing ok in a world where all you see on the internet is “perfect people with perfect lives” is probably one of the most courageous things I’ve seen so far. As someone who can deeply relate to your struggles I’ve loved this video. While watching it I’ve actually found myself cleaning along. From the bottom of my heart thank you for that. Lots of love
You sweetheart! You'll get stronger dear! I'm near 60 wasn't diagnosed til age 50, when you're aware, you're also able to love yourself, I wonder how I got through motherhood of 4, but now Nanna of 8! I see wonderful things ahead as your helping so many even around the World! 🙏👵🇦🇺♥️
I really needed this today... I live with a perfectionist family that doesnt understand all the things going on in my head. I suffer from ADHD, depression, anxiety and BPD. Sometimes I just *cant* get anything done 100%, even when I try, at least according to my family. Its made me beat myself up to the point where I just dont want to do anything anymore. Thank you for reminding me that its okay to not get it 100% done, and that the effort I put into it still matters.
5:30 I'll be honest when you said that bit about how it's still a success even if we don't finish completely, I started crying. You have no idea how much I needed to hear that, especially in this context, not just when it comes to dirty dishes but other areas in my life. Thank you for sharing this video with us. I hope you and everyone reading this will also look back at all the little successes that were already accomplished along the way, without needing to be "finished".
Oh girl I feel your pain. My house is so f cked up. I just cant do it. Like now. I'm watching this video about cleaning instead of cleaning . I have depression and anxiety and social anxiety. I've always had it. Glad you were able to get some help. Hope you are feeling better. Take care of yourself.❤
My apartment is so messed up rt now!! Its been a struggle for me for months!!!!!!!!!!! And i get so mad and frustrated w myself that i cant just get up and do it like other people! The anxiety and depression is just too much!
What you said from 5:00 really stuck with me. We put too much emphasis on finishing things .It’s okay to do what you can, and progress is progress even if it’s not 100%. I needed to hear that. Thank you for this video
Thank you. Thank you because your real. I tried so many times. In my mind I'm cleaning up but the entire day will go by and accomplished nothing day after day. It helps to know im not alone and others are exactly where I am right now. THANK YOU 🙏🙏
Thank you for posting this - it is a gamechanger for me to recognise the conditioning i have been given to feel shame if something is not finished - in fact i realise now that being afraid i might not finish something properly has been making me afraid to get started at all - your new viewpoint that 30 or 50 or 70 % is great 👍🏻 is a great takeaway thanks 🌻
I think you're doing better than you may know. Sometimes I just aim to finish one task. We can only do one thing at a time after all! Been dealing with this for almost 60 years. It runs in my family. Your advice is spot on.
When I am absolutely depressed, I let that emotion wash over me. I acknowledge it. I let me family know that I will be ok but need some me time. I literally sleep it out and take my time to heal. Thankfully I am single, so, it absolutely helps. My heart goes out all those who have to keep going for their kids or pets. I understand and I pray for all of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I understand depression and anxiety because I have it, and I am a retired psych nurse, so I understand other mental illnesses. People do not understand how depression drains your energy. They think you are just being lazy or that it's the meds making you tired, or even that you are giving in to the depression. They don't understand that you have a finite amount of energy, and when that is gone, it's gone. You have given good advice and encouragement. Praying that God blesses you for it, and that you are able to improve. I have periods of recovery or remission, then something (like the death of the man I love), causes the disease to rear it's ugly head again. My dog helps a lot, by requiring care and walks. Anyway, thank you.
"You are enough" ...such important words to know. You have reached and helped so many with this video and have reached someone right at the right time. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep on taking one day, one minute at a time...whatever it takes. Know that you will be okay. Thank you so much again.❤
Im going to clean up my room. Its so hard to do but Im stronger that my depression and my ed I'll finally eat something to wake ms up and tidy up my room. I can do it. Just step by step starting from my bed and desk. And if I can, you can do it too I believe in you, guys
How did it go? Also I’m not gonna ask but if your ED is a restriction type then try ensure shakes. I’m on them for a paralysed stomach but it will give you all the nutrients you need on days you really can’t eat. If it’s not a lack of eating then I’m sorry for bringing it up and I know suggestions from strangers can be super irritating- sending much love either way.. you got this and you WILL get there you’re worth fighting for but remember to be kind to yourself too 💜
Cleaning is the hardest thing for me, and depression has everything to do with it. The only way I can function is to break cleaning tasks into small pieces and to celebrate getting 70% done like you said. My dishes aren't spotless, but they're safe to eat out of and that's all I need.
I feel like this too. What has helped me number one is prayer and walking especially outdoors getting some sun. Just moving your body in some way releases endorphins and releases stress and anxiety.
I never even realized or considered this as a topic. A video randomly showed up today, I've been going through a depression episode and crying a lot about my mess but not caring enough to clean it when everything seems so pointless anyway. As I've been crying and tripping on my laundry and stirring coffee with whatever gadget is still clean in the drawer, feeling ashamed but uninspired, depressed....(I am clinically diagnosed with complex ptsd, borderline PD, ADHD, and it's definitely a challenging journey), and I told myself that it is what it is until I'm ready to clean it. It's been extremely comforting to find these videos. Thank you 🕉
It felt so good to finally see a house that looked like mine with a voice over that sounded like my life. I am so thankful for this video and the honesty. Thank you. I hope you are doing better. X
You made me cry with this. Me and my boyfriend just got a place together and I’ve never really been a totally put together or super clean and organized person. I’m trying my best but I get so overwhelmed and then I just get too scared to do things I’m not used to. Thank you for helping me feel better for trying and continuing to try rather than like a failure for not fully succeeding
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and honest. I don’t clean when I’m depressed either and I have been dealing with postpartum depression. This video makes me feel like I’m not alone.
Boy oh boy can I relate to this video. I was superwoman from about 1960 when I first married until about 2015. Husband died, kids left home, what is the point of even getting up in the morning? And then it perpetuates itself. You start rejecting friends because you’re ashamed of the way your house looks. Just doing the dishes and scrubbing down the shower is too daunting. Tonight I cleaned my kitchen, no not really clean just did the dishes, and changed my sheets because my dog threw up in the bed. Baby steps.
I specifically searched this subject because I need help! My house is a mess and I feel it's a reflection of what I'm dealing with internally. I'm on medication to help with my depression, anxiety, and PTSD but it still isn't enough to get back to caring for myself and my space like I used to. I went from nice, neat, clean, and everything in it's place to my space looking like an episode of hoaders. I'm praying your video help me through this. I don't like to say I'm glad I'm not alone (because I wish this on no one) but I am glad you can relate and offer assistance via your video.
I normally never comment on TH-cam videos, but I would just like to thank you for helping me feel motivated enough to clean my room after a rough month! Really appreciate the honesty and tips!Much gratitude and love to you and anyone else reading this who is having a rough time rn! 💕
Being three years since this video is out, this is the first of your videos I’ve watched, know that you are loved and you are enough. Whatever you were going through, I pray you have found the courage and strength through your depression, one day at a time. making this video, you have given encouragement to those and myself who can relate! I support you in all you do, thank you for your honesty and welcoming us viewers into your home and through your fight, you are not alone. God gave you this platform to help and reach out to others, He’s got you and is working in your life, even if you don’t see it. Thank you for your courage,
I’m so glad to find your page. I love cleaning videos and sometimes instead of motivating me they make me feel guilty during my lows where I can’t even get out of bed, it’s comforting to be reminded that we don’t need to do 100% for our progress to matter.
I LOVE ❤️ your transparency. Being open and honest is far more helpful than being perfect. I have this video saved as one of my favorites and gets me motivated when nothing else does. THANK YOU 🙏 SO MUCH. 🥰
So I'm sitting here really depressed, not yet needing that safety break but literally brushing crumbs off my bed that I slept on last night and you made the corners of my mouth crease upwards!!! I know I'm my old age that advise is normally for the giver but I felt yours deeply, seriously that 70% stuff you said is something I kick myself about all the time but you're so right and I can't wait to give my children that advise too when they need it!! Thank you very much. I am so grateful and very proud of you as a fellow mental health sometimes suffering sister. You HAVE inspired me to maybe shake my sheets!! XxX
What a blessing watching this video, it really uplifted me.I suffer from severe chronic depression and anxiety attacks; and it overwhelms me organizing areas.THANK YOU THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU BE WELL
this video really helped me. I have really bad depression and sometimes I’m able to function but sometimes I can’t and my flat is an absolute mess at the moment. Hearing you talk about your mental health helped me a lot. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for expressing what so many of us struggle with on a daily basis and the reminder that on our good days do what you can (and every day) and give yourself grace and praise for what we have done, don’t self criticize for what we couldn’t do. Sounds easy but we are our worst critics and need all the positive reminders and your videos are so helpful!
Love how real you are. I have depression also. Some days I can’t do anything. My husband does things on those days. When I feel good I do better. Lately I’ve been taking black seed oil. It helps with a lot of things. Less pain, thinking clearer, more energy. It’s a mood stabilizer. I’ve only been taking it for a week, and I can already tell it’s helping me. 😊🎉❤. I’m sorry for all you have to go through. Thank you for the video. It makes me feel not alone. 💕
Thank you for making this video. Watching you clean and hearing you speak about your mental health made me feel better. I especially loved "shake off the crumbs and crawl back into bed". Lol
I love this so much thank you from the bottom of my heart. I suffer with the same diagnosis and have pysicallimitations. I love how accepting and supportive you are. All other videos I find are always leaving me overwhelmed or feeling negative as there unobtainable and unrealistic. I'm so glad you shared this it's given me hope and helped me not to be so hard on myself
This is as far as I get, my kitchen is clean, the rest of my house is a disaster. I find I don't have the energy or inclination to do more :( Thank you for uploading this.....
It helps me a great deal to know I am not the only one who struggles like this. I let my home get very cluttered and dirty. I am now working on getting it in order. I just do bits at a time and pat myself on the back a bit when I do get some done.
I hope you are on a path to light, love and good health! Thank you so much for talking through what works for you and what we can do fighting a similar battle with depression. Thank you for reminding us to be kind to ourselves and do our best everyday!
I just ran across your video. Thank you for sharing this. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and I too was in the hospital from December 20,2023-January 2,2024. I was in there for respiratory failure. Was on a ventilator for a week. I have really been having trouble getting my health and strength back. I try to keep my house picked up the best I can. My Christmas tree is still up. Just put the little bit of decorations in a box today. My fiancee works 12 hours a day. So he can’t do much to help. I get so tired and frustrated with myself because I am so used to taking care of my house and my business. He brings fast food home alot or we junk around because I don’t feel like being up cooking. Please post more videos about what you do or how I can handle this
New subscriber good for you for tackling your home chores. Its tough when we have those chores.I find doing a little every day helps.My kids are now adults but I remember how tiring those busy days were then having the depression makes it hard to get all the cleaning done.Here I am now 30 yrs later and the depression has become more manageable. Your right when are home is clean and clutter free its less depressing♡
Love your honesty and bravery. I also have battled depression since I was a teenager and I know how hard it is just to even get out of bed some days. I love that you said you don't need to finish a task to feel good about it, and by doing a little bit is better than doing nothing. I know that for me, I would let things go because they seemed overwhelming, but I have trained myself to do what I can, and it does make me feel better. Thanks for sharing your mental health journey 🙏 all my best to you.
Thank you for this video. I’m horribly depressed and filled with anxiety. I look at my house and am completely overwhelmed. I have to do a little bit along. Take care! ❤️🥰
Me too! Lately I find myself sleeping more than cleaning, especially now since I lost my job from this pandemic. I love that you focus on what you did accomplish rather than what you haven't. I need to do that instead of feeling guilty for not finishing.
That reminder that we are raised to only be rewarded when something is finished really resonated with me bc I have trouble starting things I’m concerned I can’t or won’t finish for whatever the reason. I never made the connection between that programming and my actions as an adult. Thank you for your openness and affirmations.
May I send a virtual hug, I am sooo proud of you for speaking about this and soooo proud that you are taking care of yourself. Great job mama, I am sooo happy I found your channel.
ToEachTheirOwnHome thank you so so much!!! ☺️☺️ it’s definitely not the easiest thing to talk about but if it helps someone it’s worth it! Thanks again so much for the love 🥰
This was an amazing video. It helped me to get unstuck from a day of depression and I was able to get things done. Thank you for your courage to share your struggle so openly and I just want you to know I found inspiration in your video.
I start by making a list of things I did already. I got out of bed, I brushed my hair, etc and check them off. I do this so I already feel like I accomplished something by having 5 or 6 checked off items. Then below I make a list of what I want to do for the next FEW DAYS, so I dont feel guilty for not completing it at the end of the day. Vacuum bedroom, clean bathroom, wipe down table, etc.
I really like your consistent message of don't beat yourself up & it's ok to do what you can, when you can. We live in a vacuume where we wonder if we are even being heard... yes you were and thank you, I know it was a struggle but you decided we are worth it.
This helped me a lot this evening. I changed my bedsheets successfully and I am on my way to change the table cloth and wash the dishes... hopefully I can make some dinner! Thanks a lot for the video. As a student who lives alone and is used to having at least 80% of my small studio spotless and perfectly organized, this made me feel much better. I am very worried about my upcoming finals, so hopefully I can apply the same mentality to it. At least I'll get something done, right? Have a nice day, everyone! ~☆♤
THANK YOU so much for this video. Your voice is so calming and best advice I've ever heard. Last night I had a pile of dishes which I couldn't face (besides all the other clutter and mess). Then I decided I would clean only 10 items. I did this, had a break and cleaned another 10 items. Felt really proud of myself! I will finish the dishes some time today.
I read somewhere that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. I'm so used to if you can't do it right then don't do it. But I like the that statement and had to really think about it. I guess if it's worth doing then at least do a portion of it. I suffer from a lot of ailments and mental issues so it helped me not think about perfection and finishing a task. I can relate to what you are talking about. Thanks for this video!
I’m so glad I stumbled across your video! You articulate so well the notion of something being part way completed not being a failure but an improvement on how it was! Thank you for the video xx love from Australia
I'm living on my on , my son has left home now for 2 years but now I don't seem to make the home the way I want it. It was clean and tidy but now he has gone I just feel so lost. I have bipolar, ocd, depression and anxiety. But you have helped me just to know I CAN make a start. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video. I love what you said about how society focuses on finishing things and that even if you only do half of something you have still accomplished something. I'm going to change the way I think about things going forward and celebrate everything I do, not just what I finish!
I have the same diagnosis’ as you and thank you for this! It’s a constant struggle and I just recently started ECT treatments. I know that’s not a realistic thing for everyone but I thought I would suggest it to you for you to look into and talk to your doctors about as a possible treatment. It’s not for everyone but honestly was my last hope for getting my treatment resistant depression under control and my last hope to not suffer every day for the rest of my life and to be a better mother to my son. Like I said it’s not for everyone but I think it could help more people if they knew about it! Hope you’re feeling better and I want you to know YOU ARE WORTHY, YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU ARE WORTH IT! Love and light 💞✨
This has been one of THE Most BENEFICIAL videos I've watched in a long time. I sincerely thank you and I applaud you for being so Awesomely Transparent and vulnerable with us. It means a lot to me! God bless you! ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😍😍
Im soooooooo overwhelmed with all the cleaning I have to do. I suffer from debilitating migraines, horrible anxiety and even more so horrible depression. I cried throughout your whole video. I managed to clean for a couple hours this morning but it really doesn't even look like it. But I heard you tell me doing a little is better than doing nothing. Thank you. I still have SO much more to do. With no help bc of embarrassment/ anxiety and the depression. Im running out of time though any pointers? I believe I will be starting working from home and I can't even get the house clean for them to come hook anything up. I started this morning, had to run an errand and it only took an hour and a half, when I got back I was and still am totally exhausted. I can't get myself to do anything now except sit and cry and go through videos.
1:12 I can relate! I call them my bare-minimum-mom days; feels like I’m on autopilot. I’d rather be in bed those days and can get bitter about being needed. But in retrospect I realize how my kids (simply by virtue of needing me) pull me outside myself and keep me from slipping into a deeper depression on those days. Of course, there’s a time for self care and it’s good to hear you recognized that need. Your encouragement is also very wise - as a perfectionist I tend to procrastinate when it comes to tackling the clutter and cleaning. I think it’s that “all or nothing” mindset, like why bother if I can’t do it perfectly or can’t commit X amount of time without interruptions. “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly.” -G.K. Chesterton. Or “worth doing for one minute” 🙂
Ngl, I cried a little watching this. I suffer from depression and can't get myself to clean. The mess stresses me out, but I can't clean it. I barely make it through the work day, but I'm trying to do better.
Wow! I just found this video by accident but I am so glad I did..I rang the bell and subscribed and hope you have alot more video's...I too have all u have except BPD...I think your point of doing just a little or what one can and be happy with that is awesome!! You are right, we have been taught that to be a good job you have to do it ALL at once..no you don't. Love your tip too of putting the drain plugs in the dishwasher to clean! I have never done that b4...anyway thanks so much for all of this and just being YOU!!
brilliant commentary and the music was soothing, not annoying, which makes a differnce. a relief to see colour, too. beautiful girl. thank you fir helping us on our difficult days xx
I really needed this. This helps. I have to kinda force myself through since day after tomorrow my apartment is being inspected, which is rough because I’ve been very depressed, and my place is a mess. I was going day by day doing deep clean, but it broke me and today I barely was able to do anything at all. Now I know tomorrow basically get to taking out trash and make sure pizza boxes aren’t strewn about. Plus the people doing the inspection know I suffer from extreme depression so they won’t be mean to me (which is what I’ve been afraid of). I just get into this ptsd fueled zone where I try to clean something and I go hyper clean then the rest of my home is a pigsty. But my bathroom is nice and bleachy! I also have trouble asking for help when I really should. Omg sorry for just unleashing in the comments here. Thank you for having that space to though.
I thought it was Just something people said to get you for your faults, now i can relax and focus on the important things, to get better ❤️ thank you ❤️
Hey! This is the first time I have been specifically looking for content on depression and cleaning. I have moved house a month and a half ago and shortly after I upped my working hours. I never took time of from work for the move. All this, looking at it now, seems like signs of poor selfcare while at the same time craving appreciation from outside (work). Well, that did not work out for me at all. I am drained and do not perform well at work anymore and do not perform at all (almost) in my free time. Soooo: Thank you for that video, for the time and effort you took to make it, for the thought put into it and for the space to talk about depression and (not) cleaning!
Oh, gosh, I so appreciate you creating this video. It feels so helpful to feel understood. And it really helped being reminded that the whole "100% or nothing" thinking is mostly counterproductive. All the best!
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing and being brave! It helps me to see that other women suffer with depression. And cleaning and mommy duties. Thanks for your encouragement and kind words for yourself and others. ❤
This is such a relatable and validating video. Thank you 🤍 I struggle with depression and my apt needs a good clean but I can’t seem to bring myself to get started. I listened to your tips while tackling the dishes. Made me feel so much less alone. All the best to you and thanks so much again
So courageous of you to speak of your mental health. I am so proud of you. And I’m sure this courage of yours has given some others some hope and motivation. You’re not alone mama💕. Email me if you ever wanna chat. Keep your head up.
Crissy Marie thank you so much! I hope that someone finds it helpful, I know that there’s a lot of us out there so hopefully it gets to where it needs to go! Thank you so much for your comment 💛
I was feeling so down today because I don’t feel like doing anything, but you made me feel like that’s OK. I can’t believe I’m crying while I’m watching this video but I am going to try your minute thing today please keep them coming I’m definitely going to keep looking
Thank you for being you and for being so helpful. The One Minute Rule is something I can go by every day, regardless of my level of motivation. Keep on keepin' on!
I'm watching this as I eat the salmon salad I made for mysealf which is so tasty and healthy. Went to the the grocery store to pick up the ingredients and it was all worth it. I was thinking about how easy it would be to go get fast food for 1/3 of the price but honestly I feel so satisfied and I know I'm getting healthier physically and mentally. It's truly a blessing to have this experience and now after my fabulous meal I made for myself I will clean up my room.
Thank you for this 2 years later. I just watched it and did a load of dishes and tonights dinner dishes. Like its no where near done but those dishes will be clean and it'll help us feel a little better.
Thank you for this video! I really liked the part about how our society focuses on finishing a task. It's refreshing to hear someone talk about what you did accomplished as opposed to what you didn't finish. When you clean, do you find it helpful to listen to something or does that distract you?
Yes ! So true..God looms at the heart with Love n acceptance.oh how we need to accept ourselves instead of feeling we don't measure up..and measure up to who anyway ! HOW BRAVE TO SHARE THIS VIDEO. GOD BLESS HEY !
I know exactly where you’re coming from. I live in a small studio apartment with my dog and Some days I only have energy to take her out and feed her the rest of the time I just wanna go back to bed and curl up in a ball and trying to stop myself from killing myself and then other days I am perfectly fine where I am able to clean my flat And do normal things like everyone else. All the best❤️❤️
Oh my gosh everything you said in your first few sentences sums up my life!! Subscribed just from that! Looking forward to seeing your future content x stay true x

It's nice to see someone with the same four illnesses as me doing a cleaning video, instead of seeing the same rich supermum of four with their fancy house, tons of energy and flexing all of their pricey cleaning gadgets and vacuum cleaners.
Yes!
Damn ladies, same diagnoses here (with other symptoms) I'm so happy to find this today.
I needed this today so so so bad 😭😭
It's like, I came here for motivation because I'm depressed, not for you to sell me shit.
@@johnnyc.1878 Q
"How I clean when I'm depressed is that... usually I do not clean at all." ACCURATE. I know those feelings so well. No kids over here, just cats - but there are 3 of them and some days it's all I can do to make sure they get fed on time. Today is better than yesterday. Good luck to you as well.
🥰🙏💓
Same. Long as my cat is fed the rest can wait
This is me now. 6 animals. I’m mentally exhausted and I don’t want to leave my couch. But I need to clean or there will be hair everywhere... I hate it
First off, cats are kids lol. I have 4 kids and 5 cats and holy crap are those cats just as difficult as my kids 😂.
This tbh. I have 6 animals and they're my entire world. As long as they're taken care of, that's all I care about tbh.
Laying on my couch, depressed, looking with dread at my kitchen, watching this was reassuring and almost like practicing the motions in my head while I worked up the oomf to get up. I have anxiety, cptsd, adhd and depression is kicking my butt atm. Thank you, I'll aim for those small victories.
I love that u keep it real and show things when they aren't clean
100% I needed this today , needed it so many times in my life too the point out of all the disorders I sometimes wish I had OCD rather than depression, anxiety PTSD and Agraphobia Got alot of friends with OCD and I mean to ask does it kick the shit out them having that like its does depression , but really fail to see how it can if they can conjure the energy to do it in the first place , I know the anxiety plays a part in that motivation but it's still getting you moving and releasing those endorphins . It's not even so much that the mess bothers me it's that it bothers others that it works that whole being judged like your lazy . My first job was a chamber maid and we would get 11 mins to clean the room bathrooms sometime have alot of your buses in and the place would be a riot so you would get say 100 rooms and be allocated that time to do them it's a great thing to do when your cleaning like the one mins rule or clean as you go rule.. but in theory me sticking to rituals and being orginsied feels like a torture in itself , despite the fact I know it's so much less hasstle if only we could all just flip a energy switch .. Just glad to have found this video if anything I feel slightly less alone . ❣
@@juliesanderson9398 I'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but I have OCD and it's extremely tough sometimes. It has caused me to have all of those other things you listed at some point, anxiety and depression especially. It definitely doesn't always make you more motivated. It does the opposite to me. I am by no means a neat freak. I was when I was a kid, but the obsessiveness can change to different aspects in life. The toll on your mind is what leads to anxiety and depression. They are all interconnected. I have trouble finding motivation to clean because it causes anxiety and feels overwhelming. I think about how I'm going to do it, and always naturally feel there is a right way to do it, and if I don't do something perfectly it's a failure. The more I put things off, the more overwhelming they seem. Probably not a lot different than you or other people who don't have OCD.
I'm not criticizing you at all, but it really bothers me when people think OCD is a good thing and everyone who has it is always clean and organized. That couldn't be farther from the truth. It's often paralysis by analysis.... obsessing leads to you not doing anything, and it feels like you're stuck and can't move.
I found this video while searching for ways to maintain a clean home while depressed. I had no idea exactly how helpful and reassuring your video would be for me. I suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and BPD also. Thank you for posting this. Thank you for being someone I can relate to. Thank you for showing me I'm not alone. I hope you post more content like this
Opening up and admitting you’re not doing ok in a world where all you see on the internet is “perfect people with perfect lives” is probably one of the most courageous things I’ve seen so far. As someone who can deeply relate to your struggles I’ve loved this video. While watching it I’ve actually found myself cleaning along. From the bottom of my heart thank you for that. Lots of love
You sweetheart! You'll get stronger dear! I'm near 60 wasn't diagnosed til age 50, when you're aware, you're also able to love yourself, I wonder how I got through motherhood of 4, but now Nanna of 8! I see wonderful things ahead as your helping so many even around the World!
🙏👵🇦🇺♥️
I really needed this today... I live with a perfectionist family that doesnt understand all the things going on in my head. I suffer from ADHD, depression, anxiety and BPD. Sometimes I just *cant* get anything done 100%, even when I try, at least according to my family. Its made me beat myself up to the point where I just dont want to do anything anymore. Thank you for reminding me that its okay to not get it 100% done, and that the effort I put into it still matters.
God bless you x🥰💓🙏
5:30 I'll be honest when you said that bit about how it's still a success even if we don't finish completely, I started crying. You have no idea how much I needed to hear that, especially in this context, not just when it comes to dirty dishes but other areas in my life.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I hope you and everyone reading this will also look back at all the little successes that were already accomplished along the way, without needing to be "finished".
Oh girl I feel your pain. My house is so f cked up. I just cant do it. Like now. I'm watching this video about cleaning instead of cleaning . I have depression and anxiety and social anxiety. I've always had it. Glad you were able to get some help. Hope you are feeling better. Take care of yourself.❤
🥰🙏
Just dont pressure yourself❤️
@@imskinnyimwinningandallyou8743 I get screamed at and called names and get my Keys stolen by my shitty husband
My apartment is so messed up rt now!! Its been a struggle for me for months!!!!!!!!!!! And i get so mad and frustrated w myself that i cant just get up and do it like other people! The anxiety and depression is just too much!
Remember not to be hard on yourself. You're doing better than you think!!
What you said from 5:00 really stuck with me. We put too much emphasis on finishing things .It’s okay to do what you can, and progress is progress even if it’s not 100%. I needed to hear that. Thank you for this video
Thank you. Thank you because your real. I tried so many times. In my mind I'm cleaning up but the entire day will go by and accomplished nothing day after day. It helps to know im not alone and others are exactly where I am right now. THANK YOU 🙏🙏
This video brings me great peace at a time where my depression is eating me up big time
Your honesty & genuineness is beautiful. I hope you're doing well:)
Thank you for posting this - it is a gamechanger for me to recognise the conditioning i have been given to feel shame if something is not finished - in fact i realise now that being afraid i might not finish something properly has been making me afraid to get started at all - your new viewpoint that 30 or 50 or 70 % is great 👍🏻 is a great takeaway thanks 🌻
I think you're doing better than you may know. Sometimes I just aim to finish one task. We can only do one thing at a time after all! Been dealing with this for almost 60 years. It runs in my family. Your advice is spot on.
When I am absolutely depressed, I let that emotion wash over me. I acknowledge it. I let me family know that I will be ok but need some me time. I literally sleep it out and take my time to heal. Thankfully I am single, so, it absolutely helps. My heart goes out all those who have to keep going for their kids or pets. I understand and I pray for all of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have such a difficult time when I’m so depressed. There’s just no motivation, & I just don’t care about anything.
I understand depression and anxiety because I have it, and I am a retired psych nurse, so I understand other mental illnesses. People do not understand how depression drains your energy. They think you are just being lazy or that it's the meds making you tired, or even that you are giving in to the depression. They don't understand that you have a finite amount of energy, and when that is gone, it's gone. You have given good advice and encouragement. Praying that God blesses you for it, and that you are able to improve. I have periods of recovery or remission, then something (like the death of the man I love), causes the disease to rear it's ugly head again. My dog helps a lot, by requiring care and walks. Anyway, thank you.
"You are enough" ...such important words to know. You have reached and helped so many with this video and have reached someone right at the right time. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep on taking one day, one minute at a time...whatever it takes. Know that you will be okay. Thank you so much again.❤
Me as well thank u
Im going to clean up my room.
Its so hard to do but Im stronger that my depression and my ed
I'll finally eat something to wake ms up and tidy up my room.
I can do it.
Just step by step starting from my bed and desk.
And if I can, you can do it too
I believe in you, guys
🥰💓🙏
i love you you got this
How did it go? Also I’m not gonna ask but if your ED is a restriction type then try ensure shakes. I’m on them for a paralysed stomach but it will give you all the nutrients you need on days you really can’t eat. If it’s not a lack of eating then I’m sorry for bringing it up and I know suggestions from strangers can be super irritating- sending much love either way.. you got this and you WILL get there you’re worth fighting for but remember to be kind to yourself too 💜
😍😔😢😢❤ I shall try.
Also, yasss your pfp hazbin hotel ❤❤
Cleaning is the hardest thing for me, and depression has everything to do with it. The only way I can function is to break cleaning tasks into small pieces and to celebrate getting 70% done like you said. My dishes aren't spotless, but they're safe to eat out of and that's all I need.
I feel like this too. What has helped me number one is prayer and walking especially outdoors getting some sun. Just moving your body in some way releases endorphins and releases stress and anxiety.
Excellent advice. Thank you for sharing 😊
I never even realized or considered this as a topic. A video randomly showed up today, I've been going through a depression episode and crying a lot about my mess but not caring enough to clean it when everything seems so pointless anyway. As I've been crying and tripping on my laundry and stirring coffee with whatever gadget is still clean in the drawer, feeling ashamed but uninspired, depressed....(I am clinically diagnosed with complex ptsd, borderline PD, ADHD, and it's definitely a challenging journey), and I told myself that it is what it is until I'm ready to clean it. It's been extremely comforting to find these videos. Thank you 🕉
GOOD GIRL..YOU ARE AN ENCOURAGER
YOU ARE USING YOUR GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU
It felt so good to finally see a house that looked like mine with a voice over that sounded like my life. I am so thankful for this video and the honesty. Thank you. I hope you are doing better. X
You made me cry with this. Me and my boyfriend just got a place together and I’ve never really been a totally put together or super clean and organized person. I’m trying my best but I get so overwhelmed and then I just get too scared to do things I’m not used to. Thank you for helping me feel better for trying and continuing to try rather than like a failure for not fully succeeding
Thank you for this. Makes me feel not so alone.
Hey my fellow people struggling with depression, you got this! Depression is scary, but l hope you get through this hard time. ❤️
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and honest. I don’t clean when I’m depressed either and I have been dealing with postpartum depression. This video makes me feel like I’m not alone.
Boy oh boy can I relate to this video. I was superwoman from about 1960 when I first married until about 2015. Husband died, kids left home, what is the point of even getting up in the morning? And then it perpetuates itself. You start rejecting friends because you’re ashamed of the way your house looks. Just doing the dishes and scrubbing down the shower is too daunting. Tonight I cleaned my kitchen, no not really clean just did the dishes, and changed my sheets because my dog threw up in the bed. Baby steps.
I specifically searched this subject because I need help! My house is a mess and I feel it's a reflection of what I'm dealing with internally. I'm on medication to help with my depression, anxiety, and PTSD but it still isn't enough to get back to caring for myself and my space like I used to. I went from nice, neat, clean, and everything in it's place to my space looking like an episode of hoaders. I'm praying your video help me through this. I don't like to say I'm glad I'm not alone (because I wish this on no one) but I am glad you can relate and offer assistance via your video.
I normally never comment on TH-cam videos, but I would just like to thank you for helping me feel motivated enough to clean my room after a rough month! Really appreciate the honesty and tips!Much gratitude and love to you and anyone else reading this who is having a rough time rn! 💕
Being three years since this video is out, this is the first of your videos I’ve watched, know that you are loved and you are enough. Whatever you were going through, I pray you have found the courage and strength through your depression, one day at a time. making this video, you have given encouragement to those and myself who can relate! I support you in all you do, thank you for your honesty and welcoming us viewers into your home and through your fight, you are not alone. God gave you this platform to help and reach out to others, He’s got you and is working in your life, even if you don’t see it. Thank you for your courage,
I’m so glad to find your page. I love cleaning videos and sometimes instead of motivating me they make me feel guilty during my lows where I can’t even get out of bed, it’s comforting to be reminded that we don’t need to do 100% for our progress to matter.
I LOVE ❤️ your transparency. Being open and honest is far more helpful than being perfect. I have this video saved as one of my favorites and gets me motivated when nothing else does. THANK YOU 🙏 SO MUCH. 🥰
I appreciate the honesty in this video. I am a lot like you. Feel out of place like everyone else is normal and I am not.
So I'm sitting here really depressed, not yet needing that safety break but literally brushing crumbs off my bed that I slept on last night and you made the corners of my mouth crease upwards!!! I know I'm my old age that advise is normally for the giver but I felt yours deeply, seriously that 70% stuff you said is something I kick myself about all the time but you're so right and I can't wait to give my children that advise too when they need it!! Thank you very much. I am so grateful and very proud of you as a fellow mental health sometimes suffering sister. You HAVE inspired me to maybe shake my sheets!! XxX
What a blessing watching this video, it really uplifted me.I suffer from severe chronic depression and anxiety attacks; and it overwhelms me organizing areas.THANK YOU THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU BE WELL
Dishwasher-ing the stove top drip pans, sink drainer and microwave plate is such a TIP.
this video really helped me. I have really bad depression and sometimes I’m able to function but sometimes I can’t and my flat is an absolute mess at the moment. Hearing you talk about your mental health helped me a lot. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for expressing what so many of us struggle with on a daily basis and the reminder that on our good days do what you can (and every day) and give yourself grace and praise for what we have done, don’t self criticize for what we couldn’t do.
Sounds easy but we are our worst critics and need all the positive reminders and your videos are so helpful!
Love how real you are. I have depression also. Some days I can’t do anything. My husband does things on those days. When I feel good I do better. Lately I’ve been taking black seed oil. It helps with a lot of things. Less pain, thinking clearer, more energy. It’s a mood stabilizer. I’ve only been taking it for a week, and I can already tell it’s helping me. 😊🎉❤. I’m sorry for all you have to go through. Thank you for the video. It makes me feel not alone. 💕
Thank you for making this video. Watching you clean and hearing you speak about your mental health made me feel better. I especially loved "shake off the crumbs and crawl back into bed". Lol
Mary Mac I’m so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching! 💛
God love you .I know how it feels myself .I've been battling depression for 30years .its horrible .you're amazing x
I love this so much thank you from the bottom of my heart. I suffer with the same diagnosis and have pysicallimitations. I love how accepting and supportive you are. All other videos I find are always leaving me overwhelmed or feeling negative as there unobtainable and unrealistic. I'm so glad you shared this it's given me hope and helped me not to be so hard on myself
Thank you for sharing and being candid...I also struggle with mental health issues...and neglect myself and my home sometimes...
This is as far as I get, my kitchen is clean, the rest of my house is a disaster. I find I don't have the energy or inclination to do more :( Thank you for uploading this.....
I suffer from stress anxiety and depression, so I understand how you feel as I’ve been through soo much in my life
You're amazing for this video 💖 I'm pregnant and always throwing up on top of depression, anxiety and PTSD so this seriously helps
It helps me a great deal to know I am not the only one who struggles like this. I let my home get very cluttered and dirty. I am now working on getting it in order. I just do bits at a time and pat myself on the back a bit when I do get some done.
I hope you are on a path to light, love and good health! Thank you so much for talking through what works for you and what we can do fighting a similar battle with depression. Thank you for reminding us to be kind to ourselves and do our best everyday!
I just ran across your video. Thank you for sharing this. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and I too was in the hospital from December 20,2023-January 2,2024. I was in there for respiratory failure. Was on a ventilator for a week. I have really been having trouble getting my health and strength back. I try to keep my house picked up the best I can. My Christmas tree is still up. Just put the little bit of decorations in a box today. My fiancee works 12 hours a day. So he can’t do much to help. I get so tired and frustrated with myself because I am so used to taking care of my house and my business. He brings fast food home alot or we junk around because I don’t feel like being up cooking. Please post more videos about what you do or how I can handle this
New subscriber good for you for tackling your home chores. Its tough when we have those chores.I find doing a little every day helps.My kids are now adults but I remember how tiring those busy days were then having the depression makes it hard to get all the cleaning done.Here I am now 30 yrs later and the depression has become more manageable. Your right when are home is clean and clutter free its less depressing♡
Love your honesty and bravery. I also have battled depression since I was a teenager and I know how hard it is just to even get out of bed some days. I love that you said you don't need to finish a task to feel good about it, and by doing a little bit is better than doing nothing. I know that for me, I would let things go because they seemed overwhelming, but I have trained myself to do what I can, and it does make me feel better.
Thanks for sharing your mental health journey 🙏 all my best to you.
Just found your channel! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have no idea how helpful this video was to me!!!!!
Thank you for this video. I’m horribly depressed and filled with anxiety. I look at my house and am completely overwhelmed. I have to do a little bit along. Take care! ❤️🥰
Me too. ❤
We will get it done.....eventually. 🥰
It’s SO hard! Feel good about what you do accomplish and don’t beat yourself up over what you don’t. Mental illness is just as valid as physical (:
Me too! Lately I find myself sleeping more than cleaning, especially now since I lost my job from this pandemic.
I love that you focus on what you did accomplish rather than what you haven't. I need to do that instead of feeling guilty for not finishing.
That reminder that we are raised to only be rewarded when something is finished really resonated with me bc I have trouble starting things I’m concerned I can’t or won’t finish for whatever the reason. I never made the connection between that programming and my actions as an adult. Thank you for your openness and affirmations.
May I send a virtual hug, I am sooo proud of you for speaking about this and soooo proud that you are taking care of yourself. Great job mama, I am sooo happy I found your channel.
ToEachTheirOwnHome thank you so so much!!! ☺️☺️ it’s definitely not the easiest thing to talk about but if it helps someone it’s worth it! Thanks again so much for the love 🥰
This was an amazing video. It helped me to get unstuck from a day of depression and I was able to get things done. Thank you for your courage to share your struggle so openly and I just want you to know I found inspiration in your video.
I start by making a list of things I did already. I got out of bed, I brushed my hair, etc and check them off. I do this so I already feel like I accomplished something by having 5 or 6 checked off items. Then below I make a list of what I want to do for the next FEW DAYS, so I dont feel guilty for not completing it at the end of the day. Vacuum bedroom, clean bathroom, wipe down table, etc.
I really like your consistent message of don't beat yourself up & it's ok to do what you can, when you can. We live in a vacuume where we wonder if we are even being heard... yes you were and thank you, I know it was a struggle but you decided we are worth it.
This helped me a lot this evening. I changed my bedsheets successfully and I am on my way to change the table cloth and wash the dishes... hopefully I can make some dinner! Thanks a lot for the video. As a student who lives alone and is used to having at least 80% of my small studio spotless and perfectly organized, this made me feel much better. I am very worried about my upcoming finals, so hopefully I can apply the same mentality to it. At least I'll get something done, right? Have a nice day, everyone! ~☆♤
THANK YOU so much for this video. Your voice is so calming and best advice I've ever heard. Last night I had a pile of dishes which I couldn't face (besides all the other clutter and mess). Then I decided I would clean only 10 items. I did this, had a break and cleaned another 10 items. Felt really proud of myself! I will finish the dishes some time today.
Listening to this video while cleaning my depression room and crying, thank you sm for this video it rlly does help
I read somewhere that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. I'm so used to if you can't do it right then don't do it. But I like the that statement and had to really think about it. I guess if it's worth doing then at least do a portion of it. I suffer from a lot of ailments and mental issues so it helped me not think about perfection and finishing a task. I can relate to what you are talking about. Thanks for this video!
I’m so glad I stumbled across your video! You articulate so well the notion of something being part way completed not being a failure but an improvement on how it was! Thank you for the video xx love from Australia
I'm living on my on , my son has left home now for 2 years but now I don't seem to make the home the way I want it. It was clean and tidy but now he has gone I just feel so lost. I have bipolar, ocd, depression and anxiety. But you have helped me just to know I CAN make a start. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video. I love what you said about how society focuses on finishing things and that even if you only do half of something you have still accomplished something. I'm going to change the way I think about things going forward and celebrate everything I do, not just what I finish!
I have the same diagnosis’ as you and thank you for this! It’s a constant struggle and I just recently started ECT treatments. I know that’s not a realistic thing for everyone but I thought I would suggest it to you for you to look into and talk to your doctors about as a possible treatment. It’s not for everyone but honestly was my last hope for getting my treatment resistant depression under control and my last hope to not suffer every day for the rest of my life and to be a better mother to my son. Like I said it’s not for everyone but I think it could help more people if they knew about it! Hope you’re feeling better and I want you to know YOU ARE WORTHY, YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU ARE WORTH IT! Love and light 💞✨
This has been one of THE Most BENEFICIAL videos I've watched in a long time. I sincerely thank you and I applaud you for being so Awesomely Transparent and vulnerable with us. It means a lot to me! God bless you! ❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😍😍
I love your openness and honesty. You are helping so many people!!! So inspiring!
You really helped me today. Thank you
Im soooooooo overwhelmed with all the cleaning I have to do. I suffer from debilitating migraines, horrible anxiety and even more so horrible depression. I cried throughout your whole video. I managed to clean for a couple hours this morning but it really doesn't even look like it. But I heard you tell me doing a little is better than doing nothing. Thank you. I still have SO much more to do. With no help bc of embarrassment/ anxiety and the depression. Im running out of time though any pointers? I believe I will be starting working from home and I can't even get the house clean for them to come hook anything up. I started this morning, had to run an errand and it only took an hour and a half, when I got back I was and still am totally exhausted. I can't get myself to do anything now except sit and cry and go through videos.
I just came across your video. I truly needed this today. It’s been a rough time lately. You are not alone.
Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️
Great video.....life can be so challenging sometimes. So many can identify with you....
1:12 I can relate! I call them my bare-minimum-mom days; feels like I’m on autopilot. I’d rather be in bed those days and can get bitter about being needed. But in retrospect I realize how my kids (simply by virtue of needing me) pull me outside myself and keep me from slipping into a deeper depression on those days. Of course, there’s a time for self care and it’s good to hear you recognized that need. Your encouragement is also very wise - as a perfectionist I tend to procrastinate when it comes to tackling the clutter and cleaning. I think it’s that “all or nothing” mindset, like why bother if I can’t do it perfectly or can’t commit X amount of time without interruptions. “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing badly.” -G.K. Chesterton. Or “worth doing for one minute” 🙂
I forgot to say thank you for sharing! And I so appreciate the mental health friendly background music 😅❤️
Ngl, I cried a little watching this. I suffer from depression and can't get myself to clean. The mess stresses me out, but I can't clean it. I barely make it through the work day, but I'm trying to do better.
Wow! I just found this video by accident but I am so glad I did..I rang the bell and subscribed and hope you have alot more video's...I too have all u have except BPD...I think your point of doing just a little or what one can and be happy with that is awesome!! You are right, we have been taught that to be a good job you have to do it ALL at once..no you don't. Love your tip too of putting the drain plugs in the dishwasher to clean! I have never done that b4...anyway thanks so much for all of this and just being YOU!!
brilliant commentary and the music was soothing, not annoying, which makes a differnce. a relief to see colour, too. beautiful girl. thank you fir helping us on our difficult days xx
Just watching you clean inspired me to clean my office. Thank you!!!!
I really needed this. This helps. I have to kinda force myself through since day after tomorrow my apartment is being inspected, which is rough because I’ve been very depressed, and my place is a mess. I was going day by day doing deep clean, but it broke me and today I barely was able to do anything at all. Now I know tomorrow basically get to taking out trash and make sure pizza boxes aren’t strewn about. Plus the people doing the inspection know I suffer from extreme depression so they won’t be mean to me (which is what I’ve been afraid of). I just get into this ptsd fueled zone where I try to clean something and I go hyper clean then the rest of my home is a pigsty. But my bathroom is nice and bleachy! I also have trouble asking for help when I really should. Omg sorry for just unleashing in the comments here. Thank you for having that space to though.
I thought it was Just something people said to get you for your faults, now i can relax and focus on the important things, to get better ❤️ thank you ❤️
Hey! This is the first time I have been specifically looking for content on depression and cleaning. I have moved house a month and a half ago and shortly after I upped my working hours. I never took time of from work for the move. All this, looking at it now, seems like signs of poor selfcare while at the same time craving appreciation from outside (work). Well, that did not work out for me at all. I am drained and do not perform well at work anymore and do not perform at all (almost) in my free time. Soooo: Thank you for that video, for the time and effort you took to make it, for the thought put into it and for the space to talk about depression and (not) cleaning!
Oh, gosh, I so appreciate you creating this video. It feels so helpful to feel understood. And it really helped being reminded that the whole "100% or nothing" thinking is mostly counterproductive. All the best!
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing and being brave! It helps me to see that other women suffer with depression. And cleaning and mommy duties. Thanks for your encouragement and kind words for yourself and others. ❤
This is such a relatable and validating video. Thank you 🤍
I struggle with depression and my apt needs a good clean but I can’t seem to bring myself to get started. I listened to your tips while tackling the dishes. Made me feel so much less alone.
All the best to you and thanks so much again
You have such a beautiful kitchen! And a dishwasher too ahhhhh my dream!
So courageous of you to speak of your mental health. I am so proud of you. And I’m sure this courage of yours has given some others some hope and motivation. You’re not alone mama💕. Email me if you ever wanna chat. Keep your head up.
Crissy Marie thank you so much! I hope that someone finds it helpful, I know that there’s a lot of us out there so hopefully it gets to where it needs to go! Thank you so much for your comment 💛
Amen x 🥰🙏💓
Thank you for your openness! Just thank you!!!
I'm watching this today I have depression anxiety and emotionally unstable borderline personality disorder --
I was feeling so down today because I don’t feel like doing anything, but you made me feel like that’s OK. I can’t believe I’m crying while I’m watching this video but I am going to try your minute thing today please keep them coming I’m definitely going to keep looking
Thank you for being you and for being so helpful. The One Minute Rule is something I can go by every day, regardless of my level of motivation. Keep on keepin' on!
You wonderful girl, thank you for helping others when you're dealing with so much yourself. Sending many blessings 💖💖
I'm watching this as I eat the salmon salad I made for mysealf which is so tasty and healthy. Went to the the grocery store to pick up the ingredients and it was all worth it. I was thinking about how easy it would be to go get fast food for 1/3 of the price but honestly I feel so satisfied and I know I'm getting healthier physically and mentally. It's truly a blessing to have this experience and now after my fabulous meal I made for myself I will clean up my room.
Thank you for this 2 years later. I just watched it and did a load of dishes and tonights dinner dishes. Like its no where near done but those dishes will be clean and it'll help us feel a little better.
Thank you for leaving this video up. It was tremendously helpful to me. I hope you are well ❤️
Thank you for this video! I really liked the part about how our society focuses on finishing a task. It's refreshing to hear someone talk about what you did accomplished as opposed to what you didn't finish. When you clean, do you find it helpful to listen to something or does that distract you?
Yes ! So true..God looms at the heart with Love n acceptance.oh how we need to accept ourselves instead of feeling we don't measure up..and measure up to who anyway !
HOW BRAVE TO SHARE THIS VIDEO. GOD BLESS HEY !
🥰🙏💓
I know exactly where you’re coming from. I live in a small studio apartment with my dog and Some days I only have energy to take her out and feed her the rest of the time I just wanna go back to bed and curl up in a ball and trying to stop myself from killing myself and then other days I am perfectly fine where I am able to clean my flat And do normal things like everyone else. All the best❤️❤️
Oh my gosh everything you said in your first few sentences sums up my life!! Subscribed just from that! Looking forward to seeing your future content x stay true x
