I love you💖
I’m not your doctor but I’d make sure it’s a non-stimulant! So it’s NOT addictive! - I took adhd medicine for 10 years and it was the worst (but it works differently for everyone) but I will honestly say it made me feel more drained cause it was given to calm me down. But it calmed me down too much! So really get a second opinion/talk about it!
Alo we all ❤️ you so much 🙋🏻♂️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your life with us and just know your not alone. Or to be afraid to let your feelings out. I've anxiety and depression yes it took me along time to admit it plus that I needed help. Yes, I still have my ups and downs some days but overall I do feel alot better taking my meds. God bless you Alondra, Benny, and Lil Legend!!
Turn to God and your anxiety will leave out the door in an instant 🙏🏼
My mother is Hispanic and I feel like she doesn’t believe in having mental health problems, I feel like she thinks God is the only solution. I can’t speak to any Hispanic person without feeling judged. Mental health is real and should be discussed more often
This was my situation but I decided to do it for my own good.
Hey, I have experienced similar with my Hispanic family. I get the “they’re gonna tell you what you already know” or “you could’ve paid me to tell you that” and it’s so frustrating and doesn’t help with the healing process of mental health. You’re not the only one and I hope you are well 💕
Girl this comment hit home!
I was in the same boat with my Hispanic family. I had a lot of horrible things happen to me in my youth and was diagnosed with PTSD, Major depressive disorder, anxiety, OCD...and my family never accepted those conditions as real. They would tell me I was fine, it was all in my head, and doctors were making things up to get more money. Now growing up my mom and sister have been diagnosed with depression and put on medication and now they finally understand me over a decade too late. I was alone and suicidal most of my youth. It's sad how little understand the Latino community, especially the older generation, has towards mental health.
is not about been spanish is just we dont belive in medications that are going to make you feel even worse or damage ur health try other methods exercsise is a great way to boost ur mood find what works best for you alcohol and drugs are not going to fix it I guarantee you that but I can understand mental illness is real
so proud of you 💟🥺💟
I needed to hear this. I have anxiety around people or when I go out publicly. I start sweating and just feel awkward and anxious. Thank you for making this video and opening up. Praying for you
You're so proud of Alondra, elsy my bestie!😻😍😻😍😍😍😻😍😍😻😍😻😍😍😍😍😻😍😻😍😍😍😍😻
@@maylinrebollar8643 girl you are not alone my daughter is the same she gets frightened by being with a lot of people, she’s not a social person.. cries at times when talking to new people.. and gets headache when she goes out.. idk what it was until now I see the same pattern thank you Alo for speaking up !!
Hey Elsy how are you? 🙋🏻♂️
i mean it isnt hard to tell?
IM SO PROUD OF EVERYONE TAKING A STEP ON THEIR MENTAL HEALTH.
I have ADHD and I’m not embarrassed by it, I embrace it. I was actually really happy when I was diagnosed bc it helped me understand why I am the way I am, it wasn’t that I was lazy or overly emotional, there was a valid reason. Don’t get me wrong it’s tough and frustrating at times but being diagnosed allowed me to learn how to cope with everything that comes with it. I love that you decided to share this part of your life by bringing awareness to it!
This! I got diagnosed with inattentive adhd along with anxiety and depression and honestly it all just started to make sense.( I thought I was just anxiety and depression). Totally relate to what you posted
👋 hey!! How did you go about getting diagnosed??
Seeking help is #1 as Latinos we don’t talk about mental health and how important it is to take care of ourselves …. You are stronger than you think love
THIS!!! I feel like latino parents don't believe in mental health and its so sad :( thank you
@@alondradessy it’s scary to feel vulnerable and ask for help but it’s truly the best thing you can do to better yourself for you and your loved ones!
Girl, the things I’ve heard my own family say about mental health… is exactly why I won’t speak on it to them.. it sucks having no one tbh and dealing with it on my own.
@@LaMeraVane girl I understand last year I posted a TH-cam video about everything I went through with postpartum depression just in case anyone else was going through the same thing my family LAUGHED
@@alondradessy yes and I’m glad we will be the generation to break that cycle❤️ stay positive love and keep us updated!! Love you bestie
Perfect example of “ you never know what goes on behind closed doors “ most people see you as a TH-camr, ig model etc, but they don’t know what you go through in your personal life. With that being said, I hope you get the help you need. You have our support 1000% 💗🙏🏻
Yesss
My daughter was diagnosed with the same thing at 7 years old, it is so important to educate ourselves. As a Latina I get so frustrated with our culture and the stigma behind mental illnesses or disorders. I’m so happy that you are seeking help and doing what is best for you❤️
I have struggled with anxiety and depression for years but I noticed the year after having my sons, my anxiety and depression get 100x worse! I’m so proud of you that you got help and you’re so open to your viewers you’re going to help so many women. Praying for you!🙏❤️
Understanding and confronting your past can be terrifying but it can give a lot of insight on why you may have certain behaviors and thoughts. I was in a chaotic state for years too and also have a kid. I get how exhausting it can be and the guilt you feel. You are mindful of your actions and how they affect others and that says so much. Sending love and light on your journey.
This is the ultimate act of courage Alondra….being vulnerable. Thank you for sharing a part of your story with us with the intention of normalizing mental health struggles because the fact is there was a mental health crisis prior to the pandemic and it has only been exacerbated by it. This is very brave of you and you are helping so many others by sharing your story, as you have this platform. As a mental health professional I’m glad to hear that you have sought out help, that’s often times the hardest step. And yes the Latino culture still has stigma in regards to mental health which is why it’s so important that you used your voice. Please know how brave you are by sharing and remember to practice self compassion with yourself on this journey. Therapy can be like cleaning out the closet in the house that you just stuff junk into, it’s packed with so much stuff that it can be overwhelming once you start cleaning it out, but if you stick with it you find out what’s not useful, what you didn’t know you had and what you still need. Therapy can be a lot like that. Stick with it and remember you’re not alone! Sending much love and healing energy your way! ❤️
Props for doing what’s best for you ❤️ I just got put on medication as well and I’m also worried about feeling “emotionless”. It’s been about 5 days and it’s going really well. All the support to you baby girl! I think this is a great step for you.
By you admitting you got a mental health issue is already making you a better and stronger person. You’re not alone and you got this. A lot of us go through something or are going through something that we be so afraid to talk about because of what other might say. F that if they judge or can’t understand or even hear you out then they don’t deserve to be in your life. You will over come this trust the process. 🌹
Yes love this!!! One thing I'm learning it's not not let what others feel about me make me change 💯
Girl!!! You launched a whole brand and have a family! That’s a huge step on its own! Always be proud of all the small things you do daily... you’re killing it!!
I went such a long time thinking that I was a slob and why I do things a certain way or why I don’t do anything about organizing. What has helped me is taking notes and just put one thing that I can accomplish that day. I am a mother as well and it’s always very overwhelming having to complete multiple tasks throughout the day. I clean every room in my house EXCEPT my bedroom. I start feeling dizzy just by going grocery shopping and I can’t go to malls without having someone with me because I start to feel like I can’t breathe. Definitely what’s helped me is spending time outdoors and going on hikes. Thank you for sharing your story !
There is so much stigma towards mental health.I'm glad you're using your platform to spread awareness about mental health. It is more common than people think.
I had a classmate that had Add and something that helped him with his depression associated with the disorder was working out. I pray you find your peace and find your path. Thank you for your transparency. We are all human.
Yes! Fitness is the best remedy
Literally that helps me
I got diagnosed with anxiety and depression over a year ago . But like you said growing up I always felt like something was wrong with me . After so many episodes of me having really bad anxiety I decided to go on medication and honestly it was the best thing I could’ve done for myself I feel so much better . I still have things to work on but the medication had helped me a lot . I wish you the best alondra .
Which medication is it my mom has anxiety and really needs something that works
@@SD-ph6cr I’ve taken every pill there was and NOTHING helped
@@TheGfambam same, I feel like it was just numb me & put me Into deep sleep 🤦🏽♀️
@@priscilladuran683 yea Ativan made me feel so drugged up I had to stop that right away . I don’t like to feel high or disoriented.😭
This made me tear a little because it really hit home. I honestly wasn’t aware of how I have been feeling until I saw her explain how she’s been feeling and I’m in so much shock. I didn’t realize that I myself need to get on some medication because I’m getting way too comfortable feeling like this and it’s not good for my mental health. Thanks for the video! Hope you get better soon ❤️
As a mother myself, opening up about THAT feeling to our loved ones and especially our partner helps tremendously. That’s the first step. Todo va estar bien 👍🏼
You’re a new mom. You’re doing an awesome job. I feel like add is way more normal than people realize. You got this Alo.
Mental health should be your top priority. As someone who’s also going through mental health issues, I can tell that you’re doing the right thing. Stay strong
So proud of you girl! There’s a stigma among society around mental health and getting help, but you are so inspiring using your platform to spread awareness ❤️
Thank you for sharing! I think it’s a huge thing when influencers and people in the spotlight come forward with something they’re dealing with and shed light on it. Don’t feel embarrassed or that you’re any less than HUMAN. You just had a baby and that’s a HUGE change to your mental health not to mention your appearance. I appreciate you sharing this. And congrats on getting help and looking into it. I hope you gain some peace of mind in talking with your doctor and getting on medication. Good on your for wanting to be better for you and your baby! Sending all the positive vibes and love your way ❤️❤️
The strength it must’ve taken you to share something so personal with all of us. Thank you. Please keep us updated with how you’re feeling. You’re such a strong woman. 💜
I’ve seen so many signs about starting therapy and this just might be my push.. I can feel the knot in my throat of wanting to cry cause I understand how you feel and how hard and embarrassing it might be and feel especially with being a mom also. Proud of you and thank you for this cause I’m another person you just helped for a push to get better help for mental health. ❤️❤️❤️
I was so scared to get on meds for anxiety but it was what I needed in the time. It helped me for a year & helped me finish what I needed. I did stop eventually due to side effects but it helped me get thru a hard time and I will always be grateful for that. I’m now in only therapy and feel amazing. I truly hope you feel better soon Alo 💕🙏🏼 the journey to healing may be hard but it’s worth it.
What was the side effects ?
It's so great you took initiative and got checked out so you can get to the bottom of things and get the help you need. This is very inspirational to so many and thank you for sharing with us! We are proud of you and stand by you! You got this girl!
I have exactly what you have. I was diagnosed when I was 5 I’m 25 now. It’s hard it’s struggle but my son is what keeps me going. You’re a beautiful soul alondra ❤️
I would've never thought this was a disorder, I have these symptoms but I thought it was completely normal to feel this way. Thank you for opening up because you made me realize that I should get help and educated us that feel this way ! stay strong babes ❤️
I can relate too. That’s so crazy, I get very motivated to do projects and get so hyped then I don’t have desire to go any further with them. And psyche my self out like this will never work and no one cares to see my work or what I can accomplish. Hence why I plateau on my own lash brand too.
Same! As she’s explaining it, I honestly feel that and I always thought I just couldn’t handle things. This opened up my eyes to see that talking about it is ok. Getting help is ok.
It is normal we are juman don’t fall for what doctors tell you they want every one on meds
@@vibewithme8595 I’m not a juman lol
It’s always a hard topic for me to talk about how I’m feeling. I think I waited years before I even reached out for help. I got diagnosed with anxiety and depression. And being in medication and going to therapy has helped A LOT. Also bringing up the topic of mental health and getting in medication, letting my family know was the hardest thing I ever did, because as we know Hispanic family will just tell you to cheer up and get over it. But coming to my parents with what I was feeling I completely expected the opposite, but I’m so happy they were supportive and not judgmental about the things that I was going through. Alondra, You don’t know how many people you’ll be helping by sharing your story. Thank you for being so open and sharing with us.
So proud of you Alo!! Pairing therapy with your medication is super super super great and should give you peace of mind while you're on medicine because not only are you simultaneously working through your issues with a professional, but you also have a professional monitoring you on a deeper level while you're on the medicine to make sure everything is going well and pivoting when needed ♥️ having both a psychologist and a psychiatrist is great!
I am so proud of you opening up to us. I’m glad you seemed help. After having my daughter I suffered with major anxiety, I couldn’t get out of bed and take care of me. The worst thing I did was not get help. We love you Alondra, we’re here for you no matter what. We love you!❤️❤️
I was recently diagnosed with adhd. I think it’s far more common than we know. Going so long undiagnosed has really made a negative impact in my life recently and I am so glad that you’ve also found the root of the issue. ♥️ getting help is progress!
Exercise, that helps. Plus, you'll grow out of it
We miss y’all GRAN FAMILY ❤️
@@pauljames9596 not everyone does. But it does get better as you get older.
You are in my prayers 🙏 ❤
I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time. Have you asked about bipolar disorder? It can also be a reason. Ask your dr all your questions ❤️
ALOOO I’m so proud of you for speaking on topics that aren’t so easy. I love how you want us to acknowledge our mental health and it’s something I needed to hear today.. I been struggling myself and seeing I’m not the only person going through a tough time helps a lot. LOVE YOU ALO! ❤️
Damn this hits too close to home. Thank you so much for sharing this w us. After becoming a mommy of twins this is exactly how I feel every single day!! Glad I’m not the only one going thru this.
Don’t feel embarrassed for talking about this everyone goes through something we here for youuu love you so muchhhh and we support you❤️❤️
This made me love you even more girl! I have always looked up to you and when I was going through a rough patch with my mental health I used to watch your videos and it would help me feel more better and motivated! You are so strong momma and I’m so glad you’re talking about it and getting on medication better days are coming you will feel better ❤️
Girl!! I just got diagnosed with ADHD and started medication in January and it has been the BIGGEST help! Same as so many ppl here in the comments and like you I’ve also been through a lot as a kid and just not knowing for all this time was so hard! Esp at work!! I think it’s harder for us Hispanics b/c our parents just didn’t know or didn’t have the money to get us the help we needed.
This sounds so much as postpartum depression. But at the same time if you’ve felt this way before being a mommy then yes both need help , and it’s not anything to feel ashamed . I can relate 💯
I was just gonna say that it’s sounds more like post p depression 100000000000
Yes that is what she has.
Kinda sounds like BPD but idk
Yesssssss
if youve watched her for awhile u can tell she dealt w this since way before she ever had a baby
i’m glad you open up about this term you’re helping many people feel safe and loved i’m proud of you ❤️
Social media !!!! Social media takes a lot of your mental energy!
Your vulnerability in this video seriously has me in tears. You are such an inspiration to so many young girls and being so open and genuine is inspiring. I applaud you for getting the help and sharing it with all of us, you are so brave and so beautiful. God bless you and your beautiful family ❤❤
I swear you always looked the happiest I never would’ve thought you were feeling like this behind the camera! Get better alo❤️
Its so frowned up in our latin community to seek help! I started therapy last June, and it is by far thee BEST thing I could have done for myself, my babies and my husband! You go girl, NEVER feel ashamed! Sending love and hugs 🫂 💕💕
Thank you so much for opening up about your mental health. I deadass teared up because you literally explained exactly how I feel. I thought I was just going crazy. Sending you hugs. May your journey turn into many blessing. 🤍
Same😔
I have the exact same issues. I have asked for help in the past and never went through with it. Just recently I got the help and was put on medication. Support from family and friends is a must when feeling down. Painting and makeup is my therapy while at home. Also listening and singing along to music to let my feelings out is therapy. Hope you feel better and glad you got help. Mental health is real and curable.
The title of this just touched my heart. You’re a beautiful person inside and out, thank you for being so transparent and normalizing what we ALL go through at some point in life. You are amazing girl ❤️
Im so proud of u💗!! I deal a lot with depression and there’s been times where I don’t want to live anymore but I’ve tried doing things for myself such as makeup and it has really helped me💖
Anxiety and depression ain’t no fun I have had that for year’s medication has helped me so far, I’m glad your getting help prayers to you girl ❤️
Hi , this is random but for the past two months I’ve been struggling with anxiety / panic attacks and it’s been so hard sometimes I feel like I’m over coming it but once I get it’s like I start all over , I wanted to avoid getting medication because of the things there is online about it , but I am to the point where I feel help , I am doing therapy once a month but I don’t think it’s been helping . My question to you is do you think the medication is the best way to go ? How has your anxiety and depression been ever since ? If you don’t mind me asking
@@lizbethcolunga1697 medication may not be for everyone you can talk to your Dr and see which one is best for you, there are plenty of options don’t give up
You probably need magnesium. Magenisum deficiency is linked to depression you can look it up. Most antibiotic medication only damages the liver and kidneys.
I recently started developing bad anxiety this year, I’ve always had it but with life and stuff it’s built up so bad I started getting depress and had so many anxiety attacks at work and it was just horrible. I got prescribed with an anxiety pill, and yes I was really scared to take it because I didn’t want a bad reaction on my body. However the pill helped me sleep at night definitely made me feel drossy in the morning. I’ve been only taking half of my anxiety pill at night and omg it literally helps me sleep and get through work the next day. Medication has been my friend so far on my mental health journey💕
I’m literally crying rn because everything you are saying I can relate to. It’s gotten so bad that I can’t be home alone. Being Hispanic sometimes my family makes little jokes about it and I don’t think they realize how hurtful it can be. Thank you for making yourself vulnerable. It’s not easy to talk about this. But you are encouraging a lot of us to seek help.
I’m 15 about to be 16 got diagnosed with depression, anxiety & I get panic attacks & even suicidal at some point I found out I had all of this when I was like in 10 or 11 because my dad was super sick and last year on November he unfortunately died and it’s been super hard. Your mental health is really important & it not only affects you but everyone around you it’s so hard but I’ve been taking medication & trust me it’s the best thing someone can do to help themselves. You are so strong and I’m proud of you for being able to speak about this
Wishing you the best mija, you're so strong and brave 🙌🏽
My dad passed when I was 18. I can relate. It will get better. Love ya
Please speak up ifurcsucidal I was numb foreva
Praying for you!!! U got this!!! Do u have the. Support u need? This breaks my heart cuz I have a daughter ur age.... sending you blessings and a virtual hug
I have depression and anxiety but I haven’t got help.
You’re strong for doing this. I know when I had a baby I realized so many things and of course you wanna be the best version of yourself. God bless you Alo. Reading scripture helped me a lot
I was also diagnosed with the same thing back in November and all I have to say is that you are so strong!!! I was also soooooo hesitant to get on medication but once I started on them, it changed my life for the better! you will be okay and im so proud of u alo
Medication has helped me so much and improved my everyday life. It's so brave of you to share this and it needs to be heard more! Your story matters! Sending you so much love and prayers mama. ❤️✨👏🏻
This makes me feel so much better about coming to terms with my mental health. You’re not alone Alondra. Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤️ Baby Benny is so handsome 🥺
Your in my prayers 🙏 ❤
So proud of you alo! I have ADHD, and this is exactly how I feel. I’m very messy (it’s because with ADHD, object permanence is an issue, so I have to see everything or I forget it exists) can’t concentrate, get very overwhelmed very easy, I forget EVERYTHING, and I don’t finish projects I start. I took up crocheting and it’s been the best thing ever!
This makes me feel so much better about what I’m going through. After I had my son I was diagnosed with bipolar depression w medication it went away. Right now I just have very bad anxiety. He’s 3 years now so I started meditating, listening to music to get things done, taking a bubble bath and thinking positive. If I feel like I’m going to have an anxiety attack I focus on my 5 senses! Hope this helps!! 💕
I’m so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️, Getting a diagnosis feels like a weight off your shoulders ! Suddenly your whole life make sense ! This is so great and inspirational
I’m crying 🥺 I relate to you so much that’s why I always defended you when people tried to call you lazy and sh!t when in reality no one is. We all are dealing with our own things
I’m so proud! Nobody is perfect! And you are showing your humanity and vulnerability we need more people like that.
You’re not alone boo💗💗🙏🏼 proud of you for speaking about it and sharing that with all of us, it shows you’re human and we all can relate so much to you. 🙏🏼 love you mama💖💖💖
I can completely relate to you on so many levels as I have the same. It’s hard, very hard. I lost many people because they just don’t understand and think it’s laziness. I’ve isolated myself because of this. I’m happy to hear you’re getting help, this is a good step to a brighter future for you and your family ❤️
I was diagnosed with BPD and I always get overwhelmed and anxiety. With therapy I learned that the only person I can control is myself. Also making lists has helped me a lot, I sit down and write everything I want to get done and cross them off as I go, I do still get distracted and overwhelmed, but it has definitely helped.
You are in my prayers 🙏 ❤
Thanks for your advice! Ima try it!! 😊
Don’t ever feel alone Alo! We are all here for you and love you. I know exactly how you feel.
You are in my prayers 🙏 ❤
I felt that and after two kids girl I was diagnosed with chronic depression, anxiety and hyper vigilance due to my past trauma I have been in therapy for almost 4 years for me it works I’m so proud that you’re opening up about it and taking action and it’s so important that everyone closest to you is your support system
Omg! I love that you’re so opening and you can be an inspiration for others that go through with what you do through because I’m one of them! Thank you for motivating us and especially me !
Disorders do not define you. They are part of you and people learn to love and help you with your extraordinary qualities. With patience and understanding, you and your support system can help you become the best version of yourself.
Omg I’m so sorry
I’m glad you opened up about getting on medication not everyone talks about it and it’s great to see it normalized
Alondra your a Boss and I’m proud of you, that you were able to talk about this. You are truly inspiring to a lot of people. Thanks babe for lookin out and makin people aware. I pray you feel better soon. Sending you love & light!
Girl this video has circled around my TH-cam so many times and I’m finally seeing it. Honestly I relate so much to what you’re going through! Thank you for opening up abs I hope your journey is going good ♥️
So glad you were able to speak about this! As a woman we go through so much and it’s not always easy! Prayers and beyond proud of you! 💗 such a great role model and influencer!
I am a mental health nurse and I can tell u right now, opening up and being vulnerable like this shows ur true strength. U truly are a strong person. Working among those with mental illnesses has changed my life because I’ve met some of the most beautiful souls in my unit. Just remember this illness does not define u. U are not ur mental illness u are just someone with a mental illness. Your feelings are valid! Your mental health and quality of life are worth fighting for. I’m so proud of u :)
i’m so proud of you alo! i know you can do it ❤️ i love you & im praying for you! you will get through this! cause you are so strong! don’t feel bad and don’t beat yourself up! you will get through this girl!
This just makes me love you more. Love how open you are with us with real life situations. So proud of you!🥰🥰
I’m so glad you opened up about ADD, I’m literally in tears right now. everything you said I can relate too
Its been a year since I’ve got diagnosed with ADD as well. Since little I’ve always knew there was something wrong with me, but I couldn’t figure what it was ,
also coming from Hispanic parents they for sure didn’t know what I was going through. Over the years i honestly don’t know how I I lived with it depression,anxiety etc..
ADD has taken a toll on my life.until I came across ADD TikTok videos lol i felt like finally there’s people like me and you that get it.
Getting diagnosed and taking medication was the best decision I’ve made.
I wish I would’ve known About ADD sooner, that is why I’m so happy you’ve discussed about it. Believe me you’re making a difference.
thank you for sharing ALO
sending you
Love and light to you and your beautiful lil fam ✨💕
Feel like I need to do the same !! 😥
Different is awesome ❤️
😍❤
I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression for as long as I could remember. I think now as an adult it’s getting to be bipolar. But what really helps is communicating with my boyfriend and even help him understand what I’m feeling because he does get concerned. Having a diary and writing anything down, the good, the bad, just having to write it down on paper makes it feel better than having it roam in your head. But definitely distracting yourself. Going out or any hobby helps. But I am scared on going on meds😔❤️
You are in my prayers 🙏 ❤
I always felt not "normal", I thought I was bipolar but was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm on meds and 5 years of therapy and I am extremely better then I was. It takes true courage to open up, thank you!
I think I have that but I don’t wanna get help 😔
I appreciate you sharing your struggles. I have gratitude for celebrities/influencers, people with a platform that share and advocate for such a miss understood topic. Take care of yourself. You’re taking the initiative to get help that’s a huge step.
There's so much stigma around mental health in our society, which makes going through it, feel lonely. You opening up and sharing your experience will help so many others! 👏
Sending you hugs and healing prayers, Alo! You are so brave for opening up and it’s encouraged me to seek support with the feelings I’ve been dealing with. You’re an amazing Mom to Legend! ♥️
you are so strong and i’m so happy your moving forward to helping yourself 😭! your amazing alo! love youuu !!! 💗💗
Talking about it is so hard for me no body knows what im really going through. I stress out sooo much. I'm proud you are able to open up about it. Hope everything works out for you .
You are in my prayers 🙏 ❤
Love how you’ve always been so real! You show us your body after birth, you are open about struggles we all go thru, and you are open about how you feel! Sending prayers your way and I’m glad you have spread awareness with your platform! 💜
Wow Alo! I’m so proud of you😢❤️ .. it’s crazy to me because I’m exactly this way & I’ve felt/noticed it more every since I had my daughter 5 months ago ! It’s crazy Bc I’m on the same boat you were . This video really hits & was meant for me to see it … I’m so proud of you & the fact that you actually found help. As a Hispanic I feel like mental illness is not real & just an “excuse” 😢 for real! Thank you Alo for opening my eyes 😭❤️ you’re brave and a SUPER MOM !! I seriously cried watching this video . I swear if it weren’t for my baby girl idk how I would keep it together
Wow, thank you so much for opening up to all of us Alondra. I can only imagine how difficult this was for you & we really appreciate your vulnerability! You really saved so many people by opening up! Sending you lots of love & support! 🤍
Postpartum depression can take such a toll on you. I hope you get through this 💕
My psychiatrist told me that my ADHD will get worse after birth and I’m SCARED. With my first i could definitely tell the difference.
How can we know we have postpartum depression
@@NancyRamirez-pk7ts i felt what she explained in the video (she never said she has this but that’s the symptoms I had for postpartum depression) I felt just up and down 24/7, and so irritable nonstop. One second I had anxiety the next I was depressed and the next I was as happy as I ever was. I didn’t feel a disconnection with my baby at all it was just mood swings that made me not want to be near anyone.
@@NancyRamirez-pk7ts you can also get it up until baby is 1 and can get it with one baby but not the next
It sure can. I have this myself most things she talked about and I think I seen in this comment someone saying that their doctor told them that once they have a kid it can get worse and I can agree 💯 percent on that because I’ve have dealt with anxiety ever since I was in Elementary school and I have noticed my anxiety did become bad once after I had my two kids😐. I feel that’s what’s makes motherhood hard because we go through all these feelings that are normal and I think as mothers we need to start normalizing this because to me it’s normal to be feeling all those emotions and I’m the type to not want to go ask for help at the doctors because I do not believe in taking man made medication also I’m a believer in natural remedies🌿🌱, I rather smoke marijuana to help me out with my anxiety,stress,depression. I know smoking marijuana isn’t for a lot of people but sometimes people just need to learn how to control their mind to not think worse upon it. Marijuana can do much better wonders then taking 💊 that aren’t so good for your gut. Now this is my opinion n experience in my experience it has helped me a lot with calming my nervous down🙂.
Sometimes I questioned myself, “what’s wrong with me?” “Why am I like this?”.. and you’ve helped me understand a little more about myself. This definitely pushed me to go see someone and see how I can better myself, just how you said not just for myself but for those around us. I hope you start to feel better, sending lots of hugs and blessings 🤍🙏🏼
Same. I ask myself the same thing..
I feel the same and honestly nothing is wrong with us. We have all been through things that makes us think that way and feel a certain way but you are beautiful just the way you are and there is nothing wrong with who you are! ♥️ I've been going through a whole lot and it's been a big mental fight that I'm not done with yet we are all in the same boat. And it's always nice to open up to open with similar diagnosis because we understand and feel the same
I was literally just asking myself those questions too so I feel you.
You are in my prayers 🙏 ❤
girlfriend im so proud of you for speaking about this, I know it wasn’t easy but we appreciate it. keep up the hard work, you for this! 💕positive energy, prayers and thoughts always✨
Awww Alondra, we are here for you, I have struggled and have had depression and anxiety since I was very young and now too, I understand mental health is important and taking care of yourself is your main priority, I'm so proud of you and when you are ready, never be ashamed of what you go through, it happens to many people, you will be ok, lots of 💓 -giselle
Your are so brave, you probably helped more people then you can ever imagine. Thanks and I love you, God bless you and your beautiful family.
The fact that you’re speaking up about what you are going through makes you so strong. Thank you for that, no one is ever alone. ❤️ sending you and everyone dealing with any sort of mental health issues so much love.
Im currently taking a mental health class in my nursing program, there’s so many different disorders that affect mood, exactly how you describe it you can go through ups & downs, Postpartum depression is a possibility too. I’m glad you’re getting help.
I think it’s important to add the fact that we can relate to some of the things she’s experiencing does not mean it is ADD. We should not self diagnose. Look for help! Can you agree?
Im another note! Im glad Alo is talking about mental health! It’s a very touchy subject. I am being treated as well for other disorders and seeing a therapist! It’s the best!! Even if you’re not depressed, have anxiety, ADD, etc. It’s always great to have someone give you a non biased POV ☺️
I got diagnosed with ADD/ ADHD as a kid. Now that I’m older and have children who have been diagnosed with autism I started digging deeper and realized I may have been misdiagnosed as a child. As autism is usually misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD most times. The signs are about the same which is why a second opinion is best. I’m actually going for a evaluation or autism now and if it turns out that I was actually misdiagnosed it would explain so much about myself and why my children came out how they did .
All love ❤️ different is awesome
I was also thinking maybe it is also postpartum depression. It’s so hard to get back to being yourself after having a baby
It makes me feel so much better and comfortable knowing that I’m not alone and I’m not the only one who feels this way
I’ve also been diagnosed with anxiety depression bipolar in the past, and getting on medication was the best thing I could’ve done! I only got on for 6 months and doctor weened me off. It helped me sooo much! Thank you for using your platform to talk about it!
Hey love! So happy you chose to speak 🗣 on this, especially with your platform. There is no need to feel ashamed, for anyone. I’m very big on Mental health! I have battled depression for years. I’m 50 now. When I was pregnant with my first child at 18 I feel I had postpartum depression. I was never diagnosed but i would be warming bottles in the middle of the night and crying 😢 I didn’t have the best partner so I truly felt alone. Then I’m my early 20’s I battled depression when I left my daughters father… he took me to court and tried taking my baby from me to be spiteful. I don’t come from money. His family had money. So I was so freaked out. I remember my daughter having to go on holidays and I would watch her leave and be crying on my steps. 🥺 As a young mom, I didn’t think about revenge. But honestly that’s when I feel my depression & anxiety got worse. Fast forward now mid twenties, I was in bad depression. I was put on medication the week prior. I still felt down, hopeless and sad. I couldn’t get out! It’s horrible. I tried to take my life. Took so many pills, called a friend to say thanks for always being here for me, she hung up and called my mom- saved my life. I ended up in a mental hospital for 3 days. It was what I needed. I didn’t understand at the time. I was so angry. But I was able to meet people who were also going through something! I was able to leave, apologize to my mom & brother for all the stress I caused them 🥺 just know it’s ok to be put on a medication, to help you get out of that dark place. Don’t give up if one medication doesn’t work, sometimes it takes trial and error. We are all different. I’m just happy you are taking care of yourself. It’s just as important as going to the Dr for our bodies and making sure we get mammogram & Pap smears. Mentally is just as important! I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏼 I too battle anxiety. It sucks! I also feel this pandemic has caused many people to have worse anxiety & depression! I’m happy you have a partner that loves you & will be with you to help you! God bless 🙏🏼♥️ Oh I also feel I have ADHD because I talk a lot and I get off subject, like my mind goes lol That’s ok!! Though, we will all get through this! Stay strong & prayed up! Bendiciones ♥️♥️🤗
Watching this video, has made me realise that I go through those same problems as well and this encouraged me to look into it. Thank you! I hope you start feeling better, you deserve the best ❤️
We love you alo you’re so strong as a person as a friend as a mommy you got this !! 💕
Alondra, good for you for making positive changes in your life. You’re obviously looking to be the best version of you for poptart. What a great mommy ♥️
