Love and hugs to my YT cousin. Little do you know, you have been a blessing to so many of us. I truly appreciate your transparency and willingness to share so much of you with us. I appreciate all the laughter along with the tears. So many content creators put on a false facade, leaving many feeling hopeless and alone. But you my friend, will touch many lives with your story. I know brighter days are ahead of you! 💙💙💙
Please make the call to schedule an appointment. You are so right, we cannot just say pray about it or put it in God's hands. Yes, black people wear those sayings out. If that were the case, everyone in the world would be perfect. A new year is an opportunity for a new start that all of us need!
It’s so crazy to me how much we have in common. I’ve never heard someone say these things out loud that I’ve experienced. Growing up I always had mental health issues. So did my Mom and Dad (Depression, Anxiety, OCD-Dad and myself) and Everytime I’d say I want to “end it all” my Mom and my aunts would be like “there she goes with that dumbshit again” or “quit acting stupid” or “Alex is crazy” mental health was never taken seriously. My Mom has finally gotten on anti depressants but still won’t do therapy and never admits when she’s wrong or says she’s sorry. I’ve never heard her say the words “im Sorry” in my entire life. Sorry. I’m getting off topic. Having a blended family I know mental health is also not discussed very often in the black community as well. I really hope before our lifetimes are over we see a change. People (all races) need to learn it’s okay to not be okay and it’s okay to ask for help and we need to be more loving, accepting and gracious to each other. I also have Major Depressive Disorder. Was diagnosed probably a decade ago. I’m only 6 minutes into the video though. Just wanted to stop and say this. Also. You look beautiful as always. ♥️
Hey Alex! It’s ok to not be ok! I’ve ran from it my entire life by adding more and more things to my plate to keep busy to try and avoid it. We’re human. You’re not stupid or crazy. My mom never took responsibility for anything she caused to happen to me either. She was always the victim. I eventually learned to just let it go because she also suffered from mental illness. Love you gurlie! 💙💙
Nisha, I love you! You made me excited about moving to GA because I thought people were like you. I do not miss an episode. Keep your head up and know that I am praying for you. You will not be the same but you will be better. Do not give up.
My family is from Brazil and I can tell you mental health is a stigma inmy culture too. Both of my parents suffered from unaddressed mental issues. Now that I caregive for my father, he is 80 years old, I worked with his gerentician to have him on anti-anxiety medication. It has made a huge difference in his ability to have quality life! Thank you for sharing your story!
Nesha, I am sending you a virtual hug! I too suffer from depression, coupled with PTSD. Some days I have the strength…and some days, I’m too tired to even try to find the strength. But therapy my darling is helpful. Does it “fix” everything…naaahh, but it’s a start, and it allows someone outside of your immediate circle to give you the tools, and resources to get thru your day. From one woman to another, just know you are not by yourself. I’m praying for you, and your family. All the best, and Happy New Year!!
Hi Nesha, I have been following your journey for some time, behind the scenes never responding. But in this moment I’d like you to know that I appreciate your content and transparency. My heart pains with you during this time. I do hope that you will find strength in the difference you are making on this platform. Bringing awareness to mental health and living your best life. You inspire so many. Much love and prayer. Bestie behind the scenes
Hey Nesha. You are absolutely correct in saying that there’s people out here going through the same thing. After years of running from my tumultuous childhood anxiety and depression, and shortly before getting out of the military, I was also diagnosed with MDD. I can definitely empathize with you, and please always remember that you are an inspiration by sharing your story. You never know the impact that you may have on another person. I truly wish you the best and know that it gets better despite the stormy times.
Mental health is definitely real more than most people will ever realize. I’m so glad that you spoke on this and I’m most certain that it will help so many people. 🙏🏿🤗 to you and your family as you begin your journey to healing.
Ohh my goodness Nesha, my heart is breaking listening to you. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I know what you mean, because I too struggle with depression. Nothing like what you are going through. I have been praying for you all the time. I will continue to keep you in prayer. I know that it is hard, but I believe this to shall pass. You are right that God can use doctors and medication to heal you. I'm sending prayers, positive vibes and love to you. I love you Nesha and I am praying for a miracle for you. God bless you and your family. Be Blessed Family ❤️❤️❤. Pray Nesha, but go get some help. There is no shame in what you are going through. I wish I was there to give you a big hug.
Happy 2024. I pray that you go THRU it with much less tears and end with accomplishments for YOU regarding your overall health. You said a lot in this video that is so true about the African American Community. Timely video! Thank you for sharing and always keeping it real. I remember years ago I was faced with a medical challenge (currently facing one) and was advised not to say MY (INSERT THE CONDITION) as to not take ownership of it. I know what blood work, pathology, radiology, etc can show and tell you but I don't take ownership of it regardless. In short, consider not saying "MY" . I am not saying ignore the condition, don't take med's, don't do treatment, don't act like the issue doesn't exist, don't pray...Just consider not saying "MY" ❤🙏🏾 Say MY Family, MY Daughter, My "Best Friend" (grandson)
Amen to that. I love how you put yourself out there and also you're upbringing. I believe back in those times like when my mother was growing up mental health and sexual abuse were swept under the rug The families were more worried about their social status then actual problems in the home and they were to embarrassed or ashamed to speak up or even on the matter so many people went undiagnosed and so many women were abused by father's brothers cousins etc. I was told from a very young age that if anybody ever touched me inappropriately to say something immediately because of how my mother grew up and what she endured also I am grateful that I grew up in a different time and age where mental illness was not looked down upon It was still a new concept almost but it was a real thing. It breaks my heart thinking about what people used to have to endure especially women but we shall overcome and I'm so glad you continue to share your personal life with us the good the bad and the struggles in between. I love you for that❤ makes me feel normal like I'm not alone! Lord knows I've had my share of struggles and mental health has been one of them so again thank you for sharing!
Just know that I have so much admiration for you. Thank you for always being authentic and transparent and looking beautiful while doing it. I appreciate you.
Hi Nesha. 😢😢😢😢😢I shed a tear with you, as you tell your story. First off, you are correct about what conversations were Taboo in the household growing up. Next, I’m sooooooooo sorry you’re going through this. My goodness you’ve gone through so much already. I’m definitely keeping you in my prayers Nesha🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I do wanna say I totally understand the depression part. I use to call myself a ‘Functioning depressee’(my words) because I was still doing All the things-Right, I had others depending on me, and couldn’t let them down😓😓😓😓😓😓I lost my daughter Christmas Eve in a car accident of 2018. She was 34. And left behind 6 beautiful kids. For a while I did not want to drive my car. I just wanted to put the grandkids on the bus, and get back to bed. Almost a year of her passing, I found The Most AMAZING therapist. Myself and the two youngest of my daughters kids still see her, just not as often. We’ve come so far, and she’s so proud of us, but to have that cushion, that soft place to reach out is just refreshing and comforting. Please seek that therapist Nesha, so all of your days can be SUNNY”-Much love to you, and just know how awesome you are for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for your transparency and honesty. I suffered after 9/11. I worked in 1 WTC. I would wake up screaming. I talked to my mother about getting help thinking should could provide insight being a RN. She told me I didn't need to see anyone. I talked to my father who said if I need help, see someone and don't listen to mom. That's was the best advice ever. My MD diagnosed me with depression and PTSD. He said something that I'll always remember...my past trauma was not properly dealt with and that made the trauma of 9/11 worse meaning if I received help for my 1st trauma I would've developed coping skills and would be able to handle subsequent trauma better. Get that help. You'll feel better. Medication in conjunction with talk therapy will enlighten you in many ways. Be blessed & I wish you peaceful 2024...mind, body & soul.
Ohh Nesha. 😢 My heart goes out to you. I can’t even imagine what this must feel like. My prayer for you is that you are able to find a way to manage, cope and overcome this hold that depression has over you. I know it isn’t easy. I am praying for your healing. Professional help and prayer will work wonders. It really will. May God wrap you in his loving arms and help you overcome this. ❤❤
Sending love your way, Nesha. I do understand. Just know we are here for you. Take one step at the time one foot in front of the other. God has you 🙏🏾 🙌🏾 ❤️
Hello I am so sorry that you are going through this, will keep you in my prayers. It’s definitely the right decision to see and talk to a therapist,the first step is always the hardest part but you’re going to do it. Don’t be too hard on yourself because it going to take time,it didn’t happen overnight and it want go away overnight. GOD BLESS and much love.🙏🏾🥰
Oh Nesha, I cried with you throughout this video. I know what you are going through, please make your appointment. Happy New Year to all of y’all & 2024 will be better. Much love!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have felt pretty much everything you have spoken of. I have been in and out of therapy but still in denial. So I am going to reall take the steps to really focus on my health. Thank you. And I wish you peace and a still mind and spirit, I totally get it. You are beautiful, enough, loved, and not alone.
Thank you and same to you. Every day is different, heck every moment is! But as long as we keep trying and don’t give up. That’s all that matters! Stay strong. 💙
Stop telling us and take care of yourself. Seek help. Load up on therapy, take ur meds and love yourself no matter what. Nesha, please do the damn thing. I love you for speaking up💜 Happy Mental Health Awareness Month
Awww, sweetie, I am keeping you in prayer. Please follow your Physicians instructions. I am so happy that you spoke on this because too many times, mental healing goes unnoticed or simply ignored. Never be ashamed to seek help. You are loved, and I wish you and your family a happy new year 🎉❤
Nesha I’m praying that God heal you from your depression. Just remember this too shall pass. Please call and make an appointment to see someone. Thank you for sharing your story. Sending hugs and kisses sis.
Hi Nesha God is definitely the answer ..and yes prayer changes things this new year start a personal relationship with Christ..invite him in your life, look in the mirror and speak life over your self..say what God says about you hunn..I shall live n not die..I am above and not beneath..I am the righteousness of God etc. I love you and your family,and I will continue to pray for your healing my sis God bless you! Happy new year🎉!
Thank you for sharing, this is so important for people to hear. You are a shining light and I appreciate you. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
I am so glad you touched on the subject of mental awareness and the way most of our culture view this. I grew up with my family and old folks saying "it's no such thing as mental breakdown, that's all in your head. Therapists just want to get all in our business. They can't help you. You just need to go to God." So, I never seeked help. For years I just tried to deal with my mental issues on my own and now today at 53 years old, so much damage has been done to where I feel lost. And to top it off, my 18-year-old daughter is suffering with mental issues, and she thinks I do not care because I don't do anything when she comes to me for help. It's not that I do not care, I just don't know what to do. I am currently taking medication, but it is so hard to stay compliant when I don't have the support from my family. If I tell my family I am taking medication for depression, they will look at me with disgust and say, "you are just letting those white people brainwash you". I do have my husband for support, and he tries his best to keep me on task with my medication. As a registered nurse, I should know better, but you know for yourself, nurses are the worst patients. You are a strong, beautiful woman. you have gone through so much, just like me. I could write a book. This is almost a book (lol). I am dealing with plantar fasciitis, and it is getting worst. sometimes I can hardly walk because of the excruciating pain. I don't know how much longer I am going to be able to work. So, I am almost in the same boat as you. It hurts knowing you have to let go of your career that you worked so hard to get in the beginning. My husband has MS and it was a very sad and hurtful time in his life when he had to let his career in law enforcement go. It took years for him to accept the fact that he could no longer work but as time went on, he gradually healed but sometimes it still bothers him. Nisha, thank you for sharing the ups and downs of your life. It let others know, they are not alone. I feel like I have known you for years and we are these two best friends that call each other on the phone to vent about our lives and then go out to eat (lol). I love you sister. Hope this year will be better for you, physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
This is why I opened up about my MDD. So many of us have similar experiences with mental health and family upbringing being black. I’m sorry to hear about you and your husband but glad to hear that he’s your support system. We all need someone. 💙💙
God bless you. You have given so much to so many. Your honesty is just incredible. Please seek the help that you feel you need the world needs people like you. Please take care of yourself.
Awww, Nesha😢 Sending hugs and prayers your way. As a fellow Nurse, I know that this was hard for you. We can sometimes be the worst patients because we already know things before we are told simply from our experiences. I am happy that you are facing this because it is the 1st step to getting better. I pray that all goes well with your treatments. We will be here❤
Nesha get it started, we want the best for you. Your health matters get yourself to who you need to talk to. You and your family have a blessed New Year's.
I haven’t been able to stat consistent with watching but I always appreciate your transparency! Everything you go through you are so strong ! You are in my prayers everyday!!
Praying for your mental health. Please make that call to talk with a therapist. You have so much to give. I want your light to keep shining. You are awesome!! Sending you a hug!!
I wish and prayer for a better 2024. A idle mind is a devil's workshop. God is with us every step of the way and his plan is written for us all, we don't know what, when, where and how it turns out. Your not alone, Hod Bless and Happy New Year🙏🙏🙏
Bless you sis, even in your sickness and going through you are always trying to help and encourage others. The circumstances that brought you here are horrific and you did not deserve it, nor are you responsible for it occurring. You are dealing with the sickness of other people, you are a true warrior, many didn't make it out on the other side to reach out and tell other victims how to get deliverance. You go on precious and be an example to girls, boys, women and men everywhere. All I will add is that, it s a spirit of death and or suicide, so when you are low call people, talk to them, don't stay isolated. With your therapy add God, keep Him in the equation. Love you all, Happy New Year
Thank you for your vulnerability and bravery. You are definitely helping more than 1 person with this video. Because of your obedience, God is going to make this your greatest testimony ever of His goodness! Love you more than you know ❤❤God bless.
Yaaasss Nesha, unfortunately, it's ALWAYS the little girl's fault SMDH Praying U receive the right treatment U need, N through prayer, God will do his part 🙏🏽 I hope 2024 is an overflow of blessings for U, take care, sis!💙
Prayers ❤️ Nesha your right praying doesn't fix everything. God made doctors for a reason. Praying for you. Yes I'm having so aniexty n depression the up and down feelings will drain you completely. I had medication but wasn't taking it but I started talking it. Love❤you girl Keep pushing
Nisha, thank you for your honesty and transparency, you have done something that a lot of people won’t do which is share your story/truth. Sending you hugs and prayers, praying the medicine helps tremendously, praying you have more sunny days than rainy days🙏🏽💞🙏🏽💞🙏🏽💞🙏🏽💞
Sending prayers ❤what it the last brain surgery you had opened a portal of that part of the brain that you suppressed those memories and now your remembering them. I truly believe nothing happens to you it happens for you. You’re gonna go through a miraculous healing and enlightenment journey your heart is just going to smile.
So sorry that you are going through this, but keep on pressing on. The fact that you got the courage to speak about it, is a step in the right direction. Make your appointment, and get the help that you need. You can do this.
Hello Nisha, please call and make your appt. I am keeping you lifted up in prayer. And I pray that you go out with your family. Keeping family close. 😢❤. You gave a lot of praying warriors around you. We love you, Sis. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 💐
Nesha thank you for sharing this video. I really needed this more than you’ll ever know. I said in another comment that I can relate to you, sweetie I can definitely relate. I think you are an amazing woman period. The strength it took to post this is proof. Continue to lean on your family and on us!
Happy New Years to you and your family. We appreciate your transparency and know that you're not alone. Be blessed, have grace and mercy with yourself and stay encouraged ❤
I do believe that you can pray it away. We have to first learn the power of pulling down strongholds and praying against generational curses! A lot of families yes do sweep things under the rug. But it takes one person just one to start praying and rebuking those curses that are set in our lives. Not only are you praying for yourself but for your children and your children children so that this demon that haunts you will flee from you and your family. I pray that god gives you strength and he blesses you with peace of mind. Happy New Year to you!! Keeping you in my prayers.
I know it’s tough right now now. But you Will. Survive. Get your help. To many people are giving up and not getting help. Please let your family know help you get that help. Push yourself to make it happen. Thanks for sharing your story. I am rooting for you to get help and well. Your family needs you. You need them. So revitalize your vision to get the help you need. Love you let Ho get it done.
I love you so much my TH-cam niece. You are definitely not alone. I too am suffering from severe depression, anxiety and low self esteem. I want you to know I'm looking inside trying to find the strength that you've shown even while in pain. Nesha you have no idea how much we have grown to love and appreciate you. You're stronger than you think. Your laughter, your smile and especially your "hold please". So much is going on in the world and in our lives. However I do believe the sun will shine again and we will all have brighter days. I love you niece of mine ❤️ hang in there. Lots of love and tight hugs from your Aunt Robin 🤗 ❤️ 🌺🌹🙏🏽
🥺🥺 you are truly amazing always telling us your stories ! You’ve kept it so real with us & I can’t even imagine going through some of these things . One step at a time . I pray for your peace and I know this is part of your journey , even though no one wants to go through anything like that. You are a strong one ! I commend you so much ! Thank you thank you ! 1000 times for still trying to show up for us ❤ always take time for you 🫶🏽
I am so thankful that HE allowed you to be an inspiration to us all. You are so right, you are not the only one who's going through it, but we all will get through this and come out even stronger and better than ever. May HE continue to bless you and strengthen you.🙏🙏❤❤
Greetings prayers from new jersey! Just wanted you to know we care about you ! Your such a good spirited person. Never give up! Cause me won't give up on you!!!!! Sending hugs!!!!!
I've never watched your channel but I'm laying here and something made me click and watch. I am you without the trauma from your childhood and the surgeries. But everything else is spot on..... 18 years and counting and I just called someone recently. I've convinced myself it won't help, but I will try. ❤
I just watched your video , thank you for sharing and being transparent, many of us can relate. I don't have MMD but I do feel like I suffer from seasonal depression and not to mention that my mom passed away right around the holiday season, so that doesn't make it any better,, so trust me when I say I can relate. When the tears started coming down your face, my face had several coming down too and all I thought was I wish I could give you a big hug and let you know that you are an Awesome woman and everything will be alright. I hope to run into you one day here in GA. 2024 is the start of new beginnings and I'll be watching to see you progress in your journey! Take care and give yourself some grace, your doing the best that you can.
Love and hugs to my YT cousin. Little do you know, you have been a blessing to so many of us. I truly appreciate your transparency and willingness to share so much of you with us.

I have MDD as well. It’s tough, but we must power through and be grateful for everything we have in life 🙏🏾‼️
💙💙
At least your mom had the wherewith all and mercy to give yall up. My mom kept us, and it messed up the three of us.
It’s so crazy to me how much we have in common. I’ve never heard someone say these things out loud that I’ve experienced. Growing up I always had mental health issues.

When we know better we do better, but it starts with each one taking time to understand and learn about certain issues
💙💙
Nesha, I am sending you a virtual hug!
I too suffer from depression, coupled with PTSD.
Some days I have the strength…and some days, I’m too tired to even try to find the strength.
But therapy my darling is helpful. Does it “fix” everything…naaahh, but it’s a start, and it allows someone outside of your immediate circle to give you the tools, and resources to get thru your day.
From one woman to another, just know you are not by yourself.
I’m praying for you, and your family.
All the best, and Happy New Year!!
Nesha! I am praying that you have sunny days. Know that you are such a blessing to so many.❤

Happy 2024. I pray that you go THRU it with much less tears and end with accomplishments for YOU regarding your overall health. You said a lot in this video that is so true about the African American Community.

🌹Sis you've described my reality to the T. 🙏🏽⚓🦋
Faith without works is dead. Yes, pray. Pray for guidance on where to seek help and then persue it. Thank you for sharing your truth.

He said something that I'll always remember...my past trauma was not properly dealt with and that made the trauma of 9/11 worse meaning if I received help for my 1st trauma I would've developed coping skills and would be able to handle subsequent trauma better. Get that help. You'll feel better. Medication in conjunction with talk therapy will enlighten you in many ways. Be blessed & I wish you peaceful 2024...mind, body & soul.
You spoke a lot of our family's truth. So proud of you for stepping out on faith and yes medicine. My ears are yours 24/7/365 💙💜
Ohh Nesha. 😢 My heart goes out to you. I can’t even imagine what this must feel like. My prayer for you is that you are able to find a way to manage, cope and overcome this hold that depression has over you. I know it isn’t easy. I am praying for your healing. Professional help and prayer will work wonders. It really will. May God wrap you in his loving arms and help you overcome this. ❤❤

Thank you for sharing, this is so important for people to hear. You are a shining light and I appreciate you. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
I'm not good with words. But I'm good with hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗
We love you. I never miss an episode. Your health comes first ❤
I am so glad you touched on the subject of mental awareness and the way most of our culture view this. I grew up with my family and old folks saying "it's no such thing as mental breakdown, that's all in your head. Therapists just want to get all in our business. They can't help you. You just need to go to God." So, I never seeked help. For years I just tried to deal with my mental issues on my own and now today at 53 years old, so much damage has been done to where I feel lost. And to top it off, my 18-year-old daughter is suffering with mental issues, and she thinks I do not care because I don't do anything when she comes to me for help. It's not that I do not care, I just don't know what to do. I am currently taking medication, but it is so hard to stay compliant when I don't have the support from my family. If I tell my family I am taking medication for depression, they will look at me with disgust and say, "you are just letting those white people brainwash you". I do have my husband for support, and he tries his best to keep me on task with my medication. As a registered nurse, I should know better, but you know for yourself, nurses are the worst patients. You are a strong, beautiful woman. you have gone through so much, just like me. I could write a book. This is almost a book (lol). I am dealing with plantar fasciitis, and it is getting worst. sometimes I can hardly walk because of the excruciating pain. I don't know how much longer I am going to be able to work. So, I am almost in the same boat as you. It hurts knowing you have to let go of your career that you worked so hard to get in the beginning. My husband has MS and it was a very sad and hurtful time in his life when he had to let his career in law enforcement go. It took years for him to accept the fact that he could no longer work but as time went on, he gradually healed but sometimes it still bothers him. Nisha, thank you for sharing the ups and downs of your life. It let others know, they are not alone. I feel like I have known you for years and we are these two best friends that call each other on the phone to vent about our lives and then go out to eat (lol). I love you sister. Hope this year will be better for you, physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
This is why I opened up about my MDD. So many of us have similar experiences with mental health and family upbringing being black. I’m sorry to hear about you and your husband but glad to hear that he’s your support system. We all need someone. 💙💙
God bless you. You have given so much to so many. Your honesty is just incredible. Please seek the help that you feel you need the world needs people like you. Please take care of yourself.
Awww, Nesha😢 Sending hugs and prayers your way. As a fellow Nurse, I know that this was hard for you. We can sometimes be the worst patients because we already know things before we are told simply from our experiences. I am happy that you are facing this because it is the 1st step to getting better. I pray that all goes well with your treatments. We will be here❤
Thanks Tee! One day at a time! Dante and Amani asked me again today to make the call. I know I need to. 🥺
@@livinglavishlywnesha8927 You’re welcome. Yes you do, but when you feel ready to is what is most important. You can do it! 💪🏾💪🏾

NESHA 🙏🏿❤THANK YOU for sharing, I LOVE YOU AND I'M PROUD OF YOU TOO..ONE DAY AT A TIME BABY😘🙏🏿
I wish and prayer for a better 2024. A idle mind is a devil's workshop. God is with us every step of the way and his plan is written for us all, we don't know what, when, where and how it turns out. Your not alone, Hod Bless and Happy New Year🙏🙏🙏

We have your back stay strong and everything will work out just fine for you❤
Praying ❤
Bless you sis, even in your sickness and going through you are always trying to help and encourage others. The circumstances that brought you here are horrific and you did not deserve it, nor are you responsible for it occurring. You are dealing with the sickness of other people, you are a true warrior, many didn't make it out on the other side to reach out and tell other victims how to get deliverance. You go on precious and be an example to girls, boys, women and men everywhere. All I will add is that, it s a spirit of death and or suicide, so when you are low call people, talk to them, don't stay isolated. With your therapy add God, keep Him in the equation. Love you all, Happy New Year
Thank you for your vulnerability and bravery. You are definitely helping more than 1 person with this video. Because of your obedience, God is going to make this your greatest testimony ever of His goodness! Love you more than you know ❤❤God bless.
Be encouraged on your journey to peace🙏🏾
Nesha you are in my prayers ❤ I just had this conversation with my doctor last week!!!! Happy New Year
Yaaasss Nesha, unfortunately, it's ALWAYS the little girl's fault SMDH
Praying U receive the right treatment U need, N through prayer, God will do his part 🙏🏽
I hope 2024 is an overflow of blessings for U, take care, sis!💙
💙💙
Prayers ❤️ Nesha your right praying doesn't fix everything. God made doctors for a reason. Praying for you. Yes I'm having so aniexty n depression the up and down feelings will drain you completely. I had medication but wasn't taking it but I started talking it. Love❤you girl Keep pushing
Nisha, thank you for your honesty and transparency, you have done something that a lot of people won’t do which is share your story/truth. Sending you hugs and prayers, praying the medicine helps tremendously, praying you have more sunny days than rainy days🙏🏽💞🙏🏽💞🙏🏽💞🙏🏽💞
Thanks for transparency. Praying you get the medication and therapy that is needed. You are very inspirational 🙏🏾
Sending prayers ❤what it the last brain surgery you had opened a portal of that part of the brain that you suppressed those memories and now your remembering them. I truly believe nothing happens to you it happens for you. You’re gonna go through a miraculous healing and enlightenment journey your heart is just going to smile.
So sorry that you are going through this, but keep on pressing on. The fact that you got the courage to speak about it, is a step in the right direction. Make your appointment, and get the help that you need. You can do this.
Thank you Nesha for sharing, I am giving you the biggest hug ❤ you will get through this life challenge, one day at a time. Thinking of you 🫶🏾
Thank you for sharing, I believe u will get through this rough patch and I pray for you to have more sunny days in 2024, love, Cynthia Jones
Prayers and hugs to you cousin! Love you!
Wow!
New subbie here!
You are definitely helping someone for sharing this video. 🙏🏾
Hello Nisha, please call and make your appt. I am keeping you lifted up in prayer. And I pray that you go out with your family. Keeping family close. 😢❤. You gave a lot of praying warriors around you. We love you, Sis. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 💐
Love you, Nesha ❤❤❤. You have always been open and honest with us.
Praying for you and sending you hugs! 🤗 🙏🏾
Nesha thank you for sharing this video. I really needed this more than you’ll ever know. I said in another comment that I can relate to you, sweetie I can definitely relate. I think you are an amazing woman period. The strength it took to post this is proof. Continue to lean on your family and on us!
Happy New Years to you and your family. We appreciate your transparency and know that you're not alone. Be blessed, have grace and mercy with yourself and stay encouraged ❤
I do believe that you can pray it away. We have to first learn the power of pulling down strongholds and praying against generational curses! A lot of families yes do sweep things under the rug. But it takes one person just one to start praying and rebuking those curses that are set in our lives. Not only are you praying for yourself but for your children and your children children so that this demon that haunts you will flee from you and your family. I pray that god gives you strength and he blesses you with peace of mind. Happy New Year to you!! Keeping you in my prayers.
Prayers to you my sister. Mental Health is part of the wellness journey. Be gentle on yourself and give yourself grace. ❤❤
Praying for you Nesha 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 it takes time

Stay prayerful Nesha!
I love you so much my TH-cam niece. You are definitely not alone. I too am suffering from severe depression, anxiety and low self esteem. I want you to know I'm looking inside trying to find the strength that you've shown even while in pain. Nesha you have no idea how much we have grown to love and appreciate you. You're stronger than you think. Your laughter, your smile and especially your "hold please". So much is going on in the world and in our lives. However I do believe the sun will shine again and we will all have brighter days. I love you niece of mine ❤️ hang in there. Lots of love and tight hugs from your Aunt Robin 🤗 ❤️ 🌺🌹🙏🏽
Sending prayers and hugs

Thank you thank you ! 1000 times for still trying to show up for us ❤ always take time for you 🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing your story ❤ I started therapy 3 years ago and a blessing. 😊
Sending you hugs and lots of love.

Greetings prayers from new jersey! Just wanted you to know we care about you ! Your such a good spirited person. Never give up! Cause me won't give up on you!!!!! Sending hugs!!!!!
I've never watched your channel but I'm laying here and something made me click and watch.
I am you without the trauma from your childhood and the surgeries. But everything else is spot on..... 18 years and counting and I just called someone recently. I've convinced myself it won't help, but I will try. ❤
I just watched your video , thank you for sharing and being transparent, many of us can relate. I don't have MMD but I do feel like I suffer from seasonal depression and not to mention that my mom passed away right around the holiday season, so that doesn't make it any better,, so trust me when I say I can relate. When the tears started coming down your face, my face had several coming down too and all I thought was I wish I could give you a big hug and let you know that you are an Awesome woman and everything will be alright. I hope to run into you one day here in GA. 2024 is the start of new beginnings and I'll be watching to see you progress in your journey! Take care and give yourself some grace, your doing the best that you can.
💙💙
Blessings! ❤🙏
God bless you your not alone
