you saying that your seasonal depression happens in summer is so relatable haha. i love winter and i feel like life is so much easier in winter (i dont have to care aboit my appearance, for one), even if the weather can get so cold that its physically painful. i feel like I like the idea of summer, but in practice it makes me so worried. I have a lot more 'responsibilities' in that there's more things i have to focus on such as socialising and clothes and how i should be interacting with people.
Literally going through the same patch in my life. Messy room, anxiety, post grad, fading relationships, and so much more! But TODAY I WILL BE PRODUCTIVE AND CLEAN MY ROOM. I’m tired of living in a messy room and having a messy mind. ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for this video
my depression always gets worse during summer, meanwhile, everyone around me seems to thrive during summer :') so i feel u girl, thanks for the motivational content as usual, you got this
it's so refreshing to see someone who struggles with anxiety over small things because I struggle a lot with that too and I don't think people actually understand how hard it is ! thank you for making authentic content :)))
I know you prob wont see this, but, Ive been watching your videos for about a year now. They help me a lot. As someone who also has seasonal depression, just in the summer I really love your content. You remind me that its okay to just exist, wake up and go on my day. I am so grateful for you ❤ thank you Via ❤
this video couldn't have come at a better time. Via, I feel you so much, girl. I've been procrastinating doing a deep clean and organising sesh too. going down the rabbit hole of social media and staying in bed watching show after show is just so much easier??? lol I also don't know why such simple tasks like doing laundry or going out to buy some basic groceries triggers me so much too but it does. in these moments, I try not to judge and blame myself too much and remember a scene from friends (one of my favourite tv shows): when chandler was freaking out about HOW BIG it was that it was his wedding day and ross asked him to take it step by step - "can you just come home and take a shower? that doesn't seem so scary does it?" so.... can you just get out of bed and wash your face? can you just maybe change clothes? can you just pick your wallet and breathe fresh air? can you just drive/walk to the store? you can always come back... but take it step by step. and you'll be so proud when you've done it. and it gets easier. there's highs and lows. but it does get easier. remember, just breathe. just wash your face. one thing at a time
"everything is temporary" both excites me and scares me at the same time cause wdym we can get out of this depression shit, be ok for a while and then get back at it again
I totally understand how you feel. Especially "I need to get my life together." I feel like I'm failing in so many aspects of my life right now (going through a lot), but watching your videos always boosts my energy. I always wanted to say this. Thank you for inspiring us, I'm so grateful✨️😊🥲
omg as soon as you said your seasonal depression is summer...girl~ it's so relatable honestly. i was feeling depressed two weeks, tired, not sleeping, studying and then one day it rained and i wasn't depressed anymore, turns out i did not need a mindset change, i needed a weather change!!
My favorite Bible verse is “God did not give us the spirit of fear. God gave us the spirit of power,love, and a sound mind.” It reminds me that God will always have my back even when things don’t go as planned. I hope this helps as it’s helped me.
Lately I’ve been feeling that I’m in rut constantly wanting to stay in bed and unmotivated to do anything, doomscrolling on my phone and suffering with migraines,IBS , and just mentally drained which made me want to change hence , I deactivated my insta , deleted TikTok, and focused on living in the moment , doing the things I used to enjoy and feel comfortable in my own skin . I know that being fully immersed in the virtual world is risky , and to say the least , I needed a break from everything going around the world , and the peer pressure that I always felt bout posting on Sns and staying in touch with friends , always being the one reaching out , I’m proud of myself I made the decision to take things slow and know that I’m worthy of a break . Watching this vid made me feel seen , thank you via for sharing your dark moments and “flaws” (it’s not a flaw in my perspective but it makes me feel seen and valid ). Love you heaps and loads via , thank you for being who you are and sending you virtual hugs and kisses from right here
18:28 These words from this point on are SO valuable. Very wise encouraging positive words for those of us that sometimes dip down with low self-worth, low self-esteem. What you do is very brave, like I can't ever put myself out online and talk about my feelings. You're inspirational, more than you can imagine. Thank You
aw man I really related to this. The rooming cleaning was so cathartic. Usually my room reflects my mental state and I don't notice it slowly getting messy because that's when I am slowly getting overwhelmed with life stuff. Good on you for working through it! And I totally resonate with acknowledging that the slumps are temporary. I used to call it "riding the wave" because it helped me acknowledge that I'm in a slump and it's not going to instantly get better, but that if I do all things that help me climb out of it, like cleaning and eating well, I'll eventually come back out of it.
Summer is a harsh season and it literally drains whatever energy we have left. Even simple tasks seem like big chores and the mental load of constantly thinking about it makes it worse. I really like it when the weather is a lil cloudy , it reminds me to take it slow and calm down.
sorry in advance for the super long comment haha but i just wanted to say that i loveee how real you are in your videos... it makes your channel even more comforting to watch!! a lot of us go through similar things so i really appreciate that not only are your videos usually really beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to watch but that they're also honest and show that not everything is perfect 24/7 and that's okay!! i actually really like to watch different aesthetic vlog/lifestyle channels (idk what else to label them as) but not a lot of them show the side of themselves that isn't always "happy" or "perfect" so i think this is what makes your channel my favourite out of all of them
They may be small tasks but I am so proud of you Via!! I have very similar experiences with anxiety and procrastination and its very comforting to be able to watch your vlogs ❤
thank you so much, always, Via, for allowing us glimpses of your life and for sharing such vulnerable moments of yourself. I find immense comfort at how relatable your experiences are, just knowing that I'm not alone in feeling major ups and downs randomly calms my anxiety ;; please stay healthy and happy!!
damn. i relate to a lot of things you said about putting things off and having anxiety rise, feeling anxious to do things i’ve done before, depression in the summer, etc. i’m at a really low point, the lowest so far, and hearing you say “emotions are temporary” is relieving. people tell me that but i don’t feel like they understand. seeing someone who also has depression say that makes me feel better though. i guess i just feel guilty for being here and waiting for things to get better. i feel like i don’t deserve it. crazy how this video helped me realize that at 3:12 am. thanks for sharing your experiences.
the summer seasonal depression is so relatable!!! its always seemed like everyone else gets sad over winter when im the complete opposite😭😭like i love winter sm, but summer?? def not..
so proud of u via!! I recently just got over an anxiety spiral the other week. its all abt taking it one step at a time and not feeling guilty bc these feelings arent forever
honestly, as a soon-to-be-diagnosed bipolar 2 sufferer, ive really had to find solace within the idea of emotions and emotional states being temporary; depression sucks, but all we can do is just try to stay rational and remind ourselves the state will end. same goes with my hypomania, just have to keep myself in check and remind myself the state will end. keeping rational when a mood state blinds your perception of reality really, really is key into getting a hold of your life; and honestly, it actually gives more value to my stable periods just knowing that it is temporary and like all, will end: gotta make the most of the moment and be as content with the present as possible. so yes, I definitely agree with what you've said! :D
this video came at such a perfect timing omg. i've also been going through depressive episodes where i just sleep or watch shows all day. i really thought i was the only one who felt anxious about doing small things like grocery shopping because i really get so anxious and hate being perceived. i think i might also have seasonal depression for summer too because i hate the warm weather and how it feels like i should be going out and doing more even when i just want to stay in and chill. i really haven't even been trying to get myself out of this slump. but ur video really brought me so much comfort Via, it really helps to know i'm not alone in this and it's motivating me to actually try to get myself together again. ily sm via u are literally my fav content creator 🫶🏼🩷
this vlog felt so comforting, thank you for showing how everyone has dark times, it made me feel more valid and accepted that others are struggling with similar things to me
I've been having a terrible fibromyalgia flare-up, and I've been frustrated and depressed with where I am lately. Watching this video was so therapeutic and I appreciate your honesty. I feel more motivated to do what I can. Thank you. 🥰
my depression episodes always happens in the summer as well. feels good to know that there's people like that out there. so glad that you are pulling yourself through!
this is just what i needed right now. ever since ive been back at school ive backslid into a really messed up mentality that i thought i had gotten rid of. my room had gotten so messy that i couldnt see the floor. i gave up trying to tiptoe around the mess and would walk on things to get to places in my room... which was rarely, because on weekends and after school i only left my bed to eat. i stopped running, which is something that brought me joy, instead taking naps that only made my mood worse. i kept telling myself tomorrow would be different, but it never was because i was so, so tired. today, after what has probably been the climax to my episode, ive deep cleaned my room and am gonna try (REALLY try) to get my life back on track. even though it was 3 months ago, your video just popped onto my feed and its really helping. love youu
It's really comforting to know that other people go through waves of emotions that prevent us from doing normal chores. Came across your video and just wanna say keep doing you and thanks for the relatable content!
Via thank you so much. When I got to the point in the video where you said it was 12:42pm and you were going to the gym, it was 12:42pm right when I heard that. I'd been find it hard to motivate myself to do much, so I took that as a sign to go on a walk/run and it was great. Please never stop posting these, they mean so much to us ❤
This actually helped motivate me so much- Lately I’ve also been feeling very down and my life has fallen into shambles,, so thank you for the personal video and positive words 🫶🏻🫶🏻
it‘s actually insane how similar my last two weeks went 🫢 even down to the foods i cook for myself, the shows i binge watch and journaling less, even though i feel really shitty (ig we twinnin’) anyways, thank you for the video! as always it comforted me and gave me hope to overcome this depressive episode of my own soon 🥺 xx
girl im going through such a bad depressive episode rn and this video makes me feel less alone 🥺🩷 thank u sm 😭 idk what to do w myself lately but gonna push through like u 🫶
i love these videos, you feel like an older sister (i only have brothers) and it really does help to see someone else going through the same thing. i get depressed at the most random times, and you mentioning how the smallest things make you anxious i have the same problem and it sucks, but it helps a lot to see this video. thank you via
Miss. Li, I'm so proud of you from the bottom of my heart. I've been watching your videos for a long time and I can truly say that I want the best for you from the bottom of my heart. You're one the most beautiful woman I know. Hope you get better every day
Yeah Journalling does help to introspect and help up realise what we are exactly feeling while being confused or panicked. We all missed your boston vlogs they are just so comforting.
video came in my recommended at a perfect time. I really relate to what you said about your seasonal depression in summer instead of winter. summer just makes me feel gross, sticky, overwhelmed, hot, unmotivated, and lonely. I like winter, I like the cold, larger clothes, and I don't feel lonely like in summer, bc I feel like everyone else is inside, too. but my summer depressive episodes are intense, long, and only get progressively worse. even though it's hard, I really want to pull myself out now when I'm in the "early stages", and this video felt a bit motivating. thank you :)
Even though it was my first time watching, I almost teared up seeing how much better you looked and felt in your newer clips. I could see myself in you.
I just wanna say thank you very much, i watched you last year when i was going through a rough patch, and your videos always makes me feel less lonely. Now i watch your video again but im in a better mental state! Im happy and grateful for you. Keep going ❤❤❤
eh, don't say that you scare us with your face without make up, it is your real face that you were born with, there is nothing to be scared/ashamed of or feeling uncomfortable with the person you are and with the face you have, u always pretty not matter what. Little children dont wear makeup and are pretty and cute, so why you are you telling younger yourself that your face without makeup is a jumpscare? love to everyone who is reading this comment
Omg girl this video is literally so relatable I hate summer like you can’t really do anything outside because it’s too hot where I live and winter doesn’t come until November and I’m in an exam season and I feel literally so bad. Happy to see your video hope you’re doing good ❤
this makes me feel less alone, it’s been raining a lot where i am and i slowly started getting into a depressing slump. thank you so much for being so real💗💗
this was so comforting and motivating too! i've been tuning in for a while, but this is my first comment on the channel, you've motivated me to actually clean my room too which has been filty for.. a while. do you only journal your bad days or your good ones too? i'd recommend doing both, because reading back to happy moments you've recorded would feel great. also, i happened to relate to many comments made in this video, like summer being the depressive month over winter, struggling with shame and guilt, finding it harder to do something + feeling worse about not doing it once you put it off enough times. putting yourself out there is really worth it when others feel seen through hearing of your experiences too. lastly, i'm really proud of you for trying new foods! i completely understand going with what feels familiar because i want to avoid having a negative experience, but opening your path to various food palettes is better.
thank you so much for doing these kind of videos 💗 as a young adult it can get so hard because life goes at such an hectic pace sometimes and it causes our body to need to get to slow things down once in a while, and sometimes it forces us to do that throught a complete shut down, in such an unhealthy way. this kind of video makes me feel seen and like going back up the hill and starting again is possible, so thank you so much for that 🥹 your videos are such grounding and relaxing spaces for those times of all time low
Watching Via helps me heal fr! She shows me that it's okay to feel emotions even though it feels ugly! It's all valid! Thank you Via Muahhh lots of love
Sheet hack from hospital work: turn the sheets inside out, put your hands inside it till you reach the 2 corners grab the 2 end of your blanket and then just pull/wiggle till it's done. So much faster and easier.
I go through these type of episodes, and they're really hard to get pass. Thanks for admitting something so vulnerable, I'm glad you are feeling better
I also have Spring/Summer seasonal depressive disorder and it can feel so lonely because everyone is looking at you like you’re crazy for not being excited about the season. I live in the American south, so it gets so hot, the long days make my insomnia even worse, and I have a lot of trauma around this time because I grew up with really bad psoriasis and showing my skin caused a lot of ridicule. It always surprises me when I see others who know what it’s like, but please remember that all we can do is our best. I hope you can continue to come out of this episode!
Girl I love ur videos. This was so relatable as someone who struggles with depression (even in the summer😅), and it honestly helped me sm to realize I’m not alone
Your videos help me improve my life. I was always afraid of trying new things and going out alone since I don't have irl friends. I have anxiety even going out of the house sometimes. I recently went out to the movies alone so that's an achievement for me :)
via, u have no idea how much this video has helped me and i just wanna thank u sm for it!! i’m currently in a slump and i think im feeling a bit burnt out but u reminded me that it will pass n get better & ahhh i appreciate u and ur videos so much 🤍
I’m so glad you posted this at such a great time because I’m in the middle of doing the same! Wish you the best Via, I love your videos and thank you for posting!❤
I clicked on the video as i was also avoiding dealing with any of my emotions but then you started talking about the same issue i was going through, i went to TikTok and i came back. Your videos are so helpful honestly, i feel connected in a sense.
I watched this as I cleaned my room because it was a mess from a recent bout like you and it helped having someone there (even if it was online) to do it with, thank you ml, you are doing amazing x
Honestly, I saw this video while cleaning my room. I swear it could not come in a better time. I've been so depressed in the past month because I've been so stressed studying for my final exams and getting ready to apply for university. I never gave myself time to just take some time and clean my room or change my bed sheets (honestly, they're probably not been changed for more than a month, which is disgusting). This video made me take action and actually get up and do something for myself for a little bit to make me feel a little bit better. It's not gonna make these last days before my last exam better, but it's pointing me in the right direction.
I relate so much to not understanding that things will get better when you're in a slump. When I'm depressed I keep telling myself it won't get better but I always manage to bounce back anyways.
OK, so TH-cam recommended your video randomly to me and, since I was recently diagnosed with depressive mood by my psychologist, I found it a "cool" coincidence and watched your video. Man, it's amazing how this shit hits us this way and it really seems like “laziness"! I'm glad you managed to do your activities and that most of them made you happy (I really hate most of the activities I have to do but maybe it's just a phase, just like my psychologist says and how you kept saying through the video). This video really helped to see through someone else as I'm just not the only one and I'm not just a "lazy" girl. Thank you! Keep up the incredible work! With love, from Brazil. ❤
i appreciate you so much tw btw ive been in a depressive episode for 2 months n doing a lot of stuff like sneaking out, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, lying, cheating, skipping school, etc, n my mom came in my room last night saying i was gonna get sent to a group home n i am NOT doing all that so watching this video helped sm, thank you pook pook, remember you are loved n Jesus saves!!
I found your channel a few days ago and, omg.. the much I watch, much I can relate to you about depression and anxiety.. and that kind make me feel less alone. Sometimes you say things that I think could be little me saying lol anyway, just thanks so much for showing us some reality of living with those feelings and still trying have a "normal" and happy life. I hope you can get better and better. Lots of love, right from Brazil 👐🏾💖
Hi via, first of all im sorry that you feel this way; i hope youre feeling better now, thank you for motivating me to do some housework i couldnt do it because of my mental health, dont forget to take care of your mental health, i was very low for a few weeks tho , i got insmonia for many weeks, im also too much on my phone, having high anxiety too so i really relate to you, i like doing digital journaling it helps me a bit, going on walk, pray and eat lol ( im religious) i like summer but not the weather because of the humidty and heat. i wish you all a good day, you are all are so courageous im so proud of you !🖤🤍
i really appreciate that you are real in your videos it’s really comforting to watch and to relate to bad days. i love your videos via!! i look forward to your next post!
I was watching this video literally smiling at you and saying at loud “girl I’m so proud of you”!!!! Idk how someone’s accomplishment of cleaning their room just made my day and made me happy and proud lol
I really got comfortable in your video specially when i saw that im not the only one that gets anxious when she wake up or when she do normal things like laundry tysm via for this video we really missed your videos so much❤
Honestly, this video is pretty relaxing and comfort one. Its like watching friend in video call that's how it feels more honest. I am becoming fan of editor via 😍
VIA you're doing an amazing job and we are reaaally proud of you. I personally can see how much you've grown the past months and you're really strong, keep it up🫶🏻
There's no better feeling than doing a Sunday reset with your videos in the background. It really gives me courage to try and get myself together even when I feel like I can't, thank you
6:45 reading this made me feel like i could actually LIKE REALLY relate to someone.. im currently sleeping in my clothes my room is a big mess.. summer season is a big blackout for me
i don't have the words to describe the amount of things i relate to in your vids, but just thank you sm, your channel and you yourself have seriously inspired and motivated me, please keep doing what you're doing and sharing your thoughts w us, i truly appreciate it 💛
I FELT the summer seasonal depression thing thanks for the video!!! i really hope this video will be my motivation to start the week off better tomorrow TvT
These videos always make me feel better ❤ just moved to a new city and I feel like I'm always anxious. Thanks for these videos, they always remind me I'm not going through this life stuff alone.
You makes me feel soo good and confident , I wish you will be always happy and don't forget that you are so important . I really really admire you , don't be harsh on yourself❤❤❤
i havent commented in yt for so long that i was struggling to find the comment button HAHAHHAHA but anyways i just really wanted to say thank you 🥹 ive seen you around but ive never actually started watching your vids until recently & rn ur like my top 1 comfort youtubr 😭 i esp love ur vlogs!!!! and watching this video made me learn that there are other ppl going thru the same struggles as me (not being able to clean up, cant get out of a slump, putting off work for a longgg time then feeling increasingly bad everyday that i put it off) its just really comforting and thank you for that!!
was crying in bed cuz of emotions and my current rut but saw this video and felt alot better. knowing i’m not alone in my emotions makes me feel better :)
i love watching your vlogs. because I don't process my emotions the same way you (and people that are close to me as well) and it helps me to understand and empathise.
you saying that your seasonal depression happens in summer is so relatable haha. i love winter and i feel like life is so much easier in winter (i dont have to care aboit my appearance, for one), even if the weather can get so cold that its physically painful. i feel like I like the idea of summer, but in practice it makes me so worried. I have a lot more 'responsibilities' in that there's more things i have to focus on such as socialising and clothes and how i should be interacting with people.
esp when i’m staying in during a good sunny weather 😭 makes me feel like i’m missing out so much
yep - one the one hand i want to go outside but on the other i realise the amount of steps i need to do before i can actually leave my house (T_T)
@@via.ilyouu it feels so weird being different from rest of the world 🥲
Sometimes i wish I had the same problems as the rest of the world 😭
We shouldnt be like the world according to Jesus.❤
Mine usually hits in the spring
the anxiety of putting things off and getting more anxious to do them the longer you wait is so real! felt that so much 🥲
You fixed my life girl , your videos are most comfortable thing to me
i love u so much
Literally going through the same patch in my life. Messy room, anxiety, post grad, fading relationships, and so much more! But TODAY I WILL BE PRODUCTIVE AND CLEAN MY ROOM. I’m tired of living in a messy room and having a messy mind.
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for this video
AH Comparison is def a motivation killer! We just need to detach from social media and touch some grass 💅🏻💅🏻
Keep it up I believe in you!
same, post grad depression is very real
my depression always gets worse during summer, meanwhile, everyone around me seems to thrive during summer :') so i feel u girl, thanks for the motivational content as usual, you got this
Same here, it's nice to know I'm not alone in this! Have a nice day🙌
VIA WE MISSED YOUUUU

this video came at such a perfect timing omg. i've also been going through depressive episodes where i just sleep or watch shows all day. i really thought i was the only one who felt anxious about doing small things like grocery shopping because i really get so anxious and hate being perceived. i think i might also have seasonal depression for summer too because i hate the warm weather and how it feels like i should be going out and doing more even when i just want to stay in and chill. i really haven't even been trying to get myself out of this slump. but ur video really brought me so much comfort Via, it really helps to know i'm not alone in this and it's motivating me to actually try to get myself together again. ily sm via u are literally my fav content creator 🫶🏼🩷
okay but the advice your therapist gave you is so real my jaw DROPPED i never thought of it like that but it so true and it makes so much sense
this vlog felt so comforting, thank you for showing how everyone has dark times, it made me feel more valid and accepted that others are struggling with similar things to me
Thank you for your honest videos, they're refreshingly relatable and bring me much comfort. Wish u the best
I've been having a terrible fibromyalgia flare-up, and I've been frustrated and depressed with where I am lately. Watching this video was so therapeutic and I appreciate your honesty. I feel more motivated to do what I can. Thank you. 🥰
my depression episodes always happens in the summer as well. feels good to know that there's people like that out there. so glad that you are pulling yourself through!
this is just what i needed right now. ever since ive been back at school ive backslid into a really messed up mentality that i thought i had gotten rid of. my room had gotten so messy that i couldnt see the floor. i gave up trying to tiptoe around the mess and would walk on things to get to places in my room... which was rarely, because on weekends and after school i only left my bed to eat. i stopped running, which is something that brought me joy, instead taking naps that only made my mood worse. i kept telling myself tomorrow would be different, but it never was because i was so, so tired. today, after what has probably been the climax to my episode, ive deep cleaned my room and am gonna try (REALLY try) to get my life back on track. even though it was 3 months ago, your video just popped onto my feed and its really helping. love youu
yikes
It's really comforting to know that other people go through waves of emotions that prevent us from doing normal chores. Came across your video and just wanna say keep doing you and thanks for the relatable content!
Via thank you so much. When I got to the point in the video where you said it was 12:42pm and you were going to the gym, it was 12:42pm right when I heard that. I'd been find it hard to motivate myself to do much, so I took that as a sign to go on a walk/run and it was great. Please never stop posting these, they mean so much to us ❤
This actually helped motivate me so much- Lately I’ve also been feeling very down and my life has fallen into shambles,, so thank you for the personal video and positive words 🫶🏻🫶🏻
YES VIA IS BACK !!! YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME WANT TO BE PRODUCTIVE !! LOVE UUU
it‘s actually insane how similar my last two weeks went 🫢 even down to the foods i cook for myself, the shows i binge watch and journaling less, even though i feel really shitty (ig we twinnin’)
anyways, thank you for the video! as always it comforted me and gave me hope to overcome this depressive episode of my own soon 🥺
xx
girl im going through such a bad depressive episode rn and this video makes me feel less alone 🥺🩷 thank u sm 😭 idk what to do w myself lately but gonna push through like u 🫶
i love these videos, you feel like an older sister (i only have brothers) and it really does help to see someone else going through the same thing. i get depressed at the most random times, and you mentioning how the smallest things make you anxious i have the same problem and it sucks, but it helps a lot to see this video. thank you via
Miss. Li, I'm so proud of you from the bottom of my heart. I've been watching your videos for a long time and I can truly say that I want the best for you from the bottom of my heart. You're one the most beautiful woman I know. Hope you get better every day
Yeah Journalling does help to introspect and help up realise what we are exactly feeling while being confused or panicked.
We all missed your boston vlogs they are just so comforting.
video came in my recommended at a perfect time. I really relate to what you said about your seasonal depression in summer instead of winter. summer just makes me feel gross, sticky, overwhelmed, hot, unmotivated, and lonely. I like winter, I like the cold, larger clothes, and I don't feel lonely like in summer, bc I feel like everyone else is inside, too. but my summer depressive episodes are intense, long, and only get progressively worse. even though it's hard, I really want to pull myself out now when I'm in the "early stages", and this video felt a bit motivating. thank you :)
Even though it was my first time watching, I almost teared up seeing how much better you looked and felt in your newer clips. I could see myself in you.
After watching your video, I found the energy to do a load of laundry. Thanks Via, appreciate how honest and real your vlogs are.
I just wanna say thank you very much, i watched you last year when i was going through a rough patch, and your videos always makes me feel less lonely. Now i watch your video again but im in a better mental state! Im happy and grateful for you. Keep going ❤❤❤
your video’s always brings me comfort tysm🎀💕
eh, don't say that you scare us with your face without make up, it is your real face that you were born with, there is nothing to be scared/ashamed of or feeling uncomfortable with the person you are and with the face you have, u always pretty not matter what. Little children dont wear makeup and are pretty and cute, so why you are you telling younger yourself that your face without makeup is a jumpscare?
love to everyone who is reading this comment
man via will always be my fav comfort youtuber and her videos like these ones
Omg girl this video is literally so relatable I hate summer like you can’t really do anything outside because it’s too hot where I live and winter doesn’t come until November and I’m in an exam season and I feel literally so bad. Happy to see your video hope you’re doing good ❤
this makes me feel less alone, it’s been raining a lot where i am and i slowly started getting into a depressing slump. thank you so much for being so real💗💗
this was so comforting and motivating too!
i've been tuning in for a while, but this is my first comment on the channel, you've motivated me to actually clean my room too which has been filty for.. a while.
do you only journal your bad days or your good ones too? i'd recommend doing both, because reading back to happy moments you've recorded would feel great.
also, i happened to relate to many comments made in this video, like summer being the depressive month over winter, struggling with shame and guilt, finding it harder to do something + feeling worse about not doing it once you put it off enough times. putting yourself out there is really worth it when others feel seen through hearing of your experiences too.
lastly, i'm really proud of you for trying new foods! i completely understand going with what feels familiar because i want to avoid having a negative experience, but opening your path to various food palettes is better.
thank you so much for doing these kind of videos 💗 as a young adult it can get so hard because life goes at such an hectic pace sometimes and it causes our body to need to get to slow things down once in a while, and sometimes it forces us to do that throught a complete shut down, in such an unhealthy way. this kind of video makes me feel seen and like going back up the hill and starting again is possible, so thank you so much for that 🥹 your videos are such grounding and relaxing spaces for those times of all time low
I swear you’re one of the realest TH-camrs I know. I really look up you, you help people, it’s awesome❤️
Watching Via helps me heal fr! She shows me that it's okay to feel emotions even though it feels ugly! It's all valid! Thank you Via Muahhh lots of love
Sheet hack from hospital work: turn the sheets inside out, put your hands inside it till you reach the 2 corners grab the 2 end of your blanket and then just pull/wiggle till it's done. So much faster and easier.
I go through these type of episodes, and they're really hard to get pass. Thanks for admitting something so vulnerable, I'm glad you are feeling better
I also have Spring/Summer seasonal depressive disorder and it can feel so lonely because everyone is looking at you like you’re crazy for not being excited about the season. I live in the American south, so it gets so hot, the long days make my insomnia even worse, and I have a lot of trauma around this time because I grew up with really bad psoriasis and showing my skin caused a lot of ridicule. It always surprises me when I see others who know what it’s like, but please remember that all we can do is our best. I hope you can continue to come out of this episode!
Girl I love ur videos. This was so relatable as someone who struggles with depression (even in the summer😅), and it honestly helped me sm to realize I’m not alone
literally love via's long videos🫶🤭
Your videos help me improve my life. I was always afraid of trying new things and going out alone since I don't have irl friends. I have anxiety even going out of the house sometimes. I recently went out to the movies alone so that's an achievement for me :)
via, u have no idea how much this video has helped me and i just wanna thank u sm for it!! i’m currently in a slump and i think im feeling a bit burnt out but u reminded me that it will pass n get better & ahhh i appreciate u and ur videos so much 🤍
I’m so glad you posted this at such a great time because I’m in the middle of doing the same! Wish you the best Via, I love your videos and thank you for posting!❤
I clicked on the video as i was also avoiding dealing with any of my emotions but then you started talking about the same issue i was going through, i went to TikTok and i came back. Your videos are so helpful honestly, i feel connected in a sense.
you are STRONG you are RESILIENT you are LIVING YOUR LIFE you are GORGEOUS you GOT THIS GIRL
I watched this as I cleaned my room because it was a mess from a recent bout like you and it helped having someone there (even if it was online) to do it with, thank you ml, you are doing amazing x
Honestly, I saw this video while cleaning my room. I swear it could not come in a better time. I've been so depressed in the past month because I've been so stressed studying for my final exams and getting ready to apply for university. I never gave myself time to just take some time and clean my room or change my bed sheets (honestly, they're probably not been changed for more than a month, which is disgusting). This video made me take action and actually get up and do something for myself for a little bit to make me feel a little bit better. It's not gonna make these last days before my last exam better, but it's pointing me in the right direction.
I relate so much to not understanding that things will get better when you're in a slump. When I'm depressed I keep telling myself it won't get better but I always manage to bounce back anyways.
OK, so TH-cam recommended your video randomly to me and, since I was recently diagnosed with depressive mood by my psychologist, I found it a "cool" coincidence and watched your video. Man, it's amazing how this shit hits us this way and it really seems like “laziness"! I'm glad you managed to do your activities
and that most of them made you happy (I really hate most of the activities I have to do but maybe it's just a phase, just like my psychologist says and how you kept saying through the video). This video really helped to see through someone else as I'm just not the only one and I'm not just a "lazy" girl. Thank you! Keep up the incredible work! With love, from Brazil. ❤
i appreciate you so much
tw btw
ive been in a depressive episode for 2 months n doing a lot of stuff like sneaking out, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, lying, cheating, skipping school, etc, n my mom came in my room last night saying i was gonna get sent to a group home n i am NOT doing all that so watching this video helped sm, thank you pook pook, remember you are loved n Jesus saves!!
Your videos always help me to feel better and to have a better view on life thank you via
I found your channel a few days ago and, omg.. the much I watch, much I can relate to you about depression and anxiety.. and that kind make me feel less alone. Sometimes you say things that I think could be little me saying lol anyway, just thanks so much for showing us some reality of living with those feelings and still trying have a "normal" and happy life. I hope you can get better and better. Lots of love, right from Brazil 👐🏾💖
Hi via, first of all im sorry that you feel this way; i hope youre feeling better now, thank you for motivating me to do some housework i couldnt do it because of my mental health, dont forget to take care of your mental health, i was very low for a few weeks tho , i got insmonia for many weeks, im also too much on my phone, having high anxiety too so i really relate to you, i like doing digital journaling it helps me a bit, going on walk, pray and eat lol ( im religious) i like summer but not the weather because of the humidty and heat. i wish you all a good day, you are all are so courageous im so proud of you !🖤🤍

I really got comfortable in your video specially when i saw that im not the only one that gets anxious when she wake up or when she do normal things like laundry tysm via for this video we really missed your videos so much❤
You are beautiful inside and outside 🫶 you are doing great! You are doing something that a lot of people can’t do. You are so brave!

VIA you're doing an amazing job and we are reaaally proud of you. I personally can see how much you've grown the past months and you're really strong, keep it up🫶🏻
There's no better feeling than doing a Sunday reset with your videos in the background. It really gives me courage to try and get myself together even when I feel like I can't, thank you

as someone whos currently in a depressive slump,it really feels like its hopeless. But this video really helped me to try and get out of it.
was crying in bed cuz of emotions and my current rut but saw this video and felt alot better. knowing i’m not alone in my emotions makes me feel better :)
i love watching your vlogs. because I don't process my emotions the same way you (and people that are close to me as well) and it helps me to understand and empathise.
FINALLY MY COMFORT TH-camR SHOWING UP
