Grace it is so powerful to make that decision for yourself let alone share it with the PlanBri community and make people feel less alone. Mad respect for you 💜
SO proud of u Grace for seeking help and being open with us. so many people in our age group are dealing with real mental health crisis's and need to know its okay to seek help. we fucking love you so much. you matter and are a gift to this earth
So proud of you, Grace! A quick stint in the mental hospital is way more common than you’d think. You’re setting an amazing example for all of your listeners to seek help if they need it. Your actions save lives. Sending you love!
I want to hug Grace. I even give Bri a big pat on the back for supporting her and knowing she needed her Mom. Hope Grace figures it out and finds the right meds. Love ya girls.
So much respect for Grace for speaking about this very vulnerable and private time in her life! ❤️ I went through a year period of dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, and therapists! Yoga, church, my friends and family really got me out of that dark place! ❤️ Wishing you love light and warmth❤️
Grace, I totally get what you’re saying abt being told you have bipolar but not feeling like you have bipolar. I started on meds for it bc i would also get super down bad every 3 or so months and they counted that as a manic episode. Bipolar meds didn’t help me and made me worse, keep talking to doctors bc usually they are rly quick to diagnose bipolar. During this time really fall on your team and have them keep an eye on you, starting new meds can be tough. It’s amazing to hear you talk abt this so open I love you and am so proud of you
Agreed! I started to get worse but wasnt communicating that to my drs. Keep a journal that way when you meet with your dr you dont forget how you are 🫶🏻
i went thru the exact same thing as Grace did. Had a bad panic attack, did something stupid and ended up going to the ER, got wheeled down in scrubs and all to the psych holding center at the hospital.... immediately realized i didn't NEED to be there, but it was the first place i got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and got me to go to therapy and on medication. it's been 2.5 years and i am doing better, it gets better, so proud of you Grace
awww my heart is whole again 🥹 it’s so cool that we’re this comfort space for you guys to just be yourselves and tell us the real raw shit. I live for this pod
Grace this is amazing that you shared your experience. So many people struggle with mental health in silence and nobody talks about it enough. Stay strong 🥹
I just started watching you guys and binging all your episodes. This is HUGE for you to share so thank you. Especially as someone who struggles with things to see someone that I've started to connect to can share this is huge. Sending you so much love Grace
I’m so glad you are back and thriving Grace! This year will be your year! Happy to see you both back and starting the year off raw, real & inspiring!! 💚
Grace, I’m incredibly proud of you for helping yourself considering the field of work you are in. I know you will be able to make it through this journey there are some ups and downs and mental health recovery is not a linear process. Please take care of yourself and put up boundaries so you don’t compromise yourself! So much love for you!!!!
if I was in yalls position I would’ve gone to the looney bin many a time!! your world has completely turned itself on its head, you’re in one of the most unique positions in the world, and you’re dealing with the transition to real adulthood in the eyes of a ton of people who don’t really know u! I struggle with others perception of me constantly so idk what it would be like to process your image through the eyes of this audience all the time. gracie girl, you’re gonna be a star!! we learn the most about ourselves during the lowest moments; not talking about your inner saboteur bullying u in ur brain, but instead trying to understand how your brain works and where things get convoluted vs when you’re having clarity. idk if any of this makes sense but you’re truly doing great sweetie. some people may never see a mental hospital but will have the same severity of the growing pains and won’t be able to grow out of it for a long time. you starting this journey early will save you a lot of heartache in the future and will just make you a wiser adult, a more compassionate/understanding friend and human being, and every little step you take or lesson you learn will make the next “low low” easier to endure. love u so much! also, grace, pls kiss a girl this year 🤌💖
The cyclical depression sounds a lot like bipolar type 2. I have it. Its different in that it’s more so the depression and periods of “hypomania” which usually goes unnoticed and is just periods of marked productivity. I went undiagnosed for so long cause it’s pretty easy to mask given you’re good a decent amount of the time and can compensate for the periods of low. I’m so sorry you had what I saw to be unfortunately the typical psych ward experience (was also a med student). It’s ridiculous how little therapy access there is through the formal healthcare system. So ass backwards. Anyways, thank you so much for being so open about your experience. It’s so refreshing to hear people sharing so openly and it does a lot to combat the stigma. Your vulnerability is your strength and you’re awesome for using your voice to help others feel less alone ♥️
Way late to this video, have been binge watching your videos and this is one of the best ones of all. Grace thank you for being so vulnerable and so strong! Thank you for sharing your experience! You are kick ass!
Proud of you for knowing you need help. I worked on the psych wing of a hospital and I’ve seen so many people use the breaking point of going there to actually make a change and heal. I hope you find a therapist that you can connect with. ❤
Grace, you have to do what helps you and f what anyone think!!! We are all so proud of you and you have this insane glow about you!!! You’re beautiful all the time but you just look so amazing🥰
The self aware part I felt that soooo hard. I always say to my therapist I’m so self aware I know exactly what’s wrong with me I just don’t know how to fix it and completely sabotage myself so how can I stop that lol
I also found it super wack when I met with a therapist and they asked me “so what are you thinking for medication?” I was like what??? Can I say Vicodin? I’ve also been through the trenches and wasn’t sure what to do for help, a mental hospital seemed extreme but waiting for a therapy appointment in 2 weeks seemed like not enough. A middle ground type of facility would be dope. Glad you put yourself first Grace!!
Grace you are so strong. I started watching Plan Bri for Bri - but I continue to watch for you ! You’re my favorite. Work on you and do what’s good for you.
I worked at a psychiatric hospital in MA for 4 yrs.. I know exactly what Grace’s explaining. Especially the bathroom. We don’t want do open the door while you shit but we have to, and you’d be surprised, so many hurt themselves especially in the bathroom
Love you Grace. Thank you for the transparency. ❤❤ Also, Bri you’re an incredible friend and I hope you’re handling all this ok too. It can be a lot being the friend and supporting your bestie that’s going through it.
Thank u for talking ab what you’ve been going thru Grace ❤️❤️❤️ it takes a lot to be that open & vulnerable, but i think i can speak for everyone when i say that we appreciate it more than u kno. Good job at taking steps to help urself, it’s rlly inspiring to those of us w similar struggles. & fuck America’s healthcare system for real, it sucks!
i think all of us in our 20s understand how bad mental health can get. cheers to you grace for getting the help you needed, it really takes a lot of courage and you should be so proud of yourself not only for this but for all you did last year. cheers to all the plan bri team, here's to an amazing 2023!
Grace!!! Proud that you are taking action to help yourself. Something I think you should consider is when you feel like you are going into these spells, take a solo trip for 2-3 days somewhere where all you do is relax, decompress and shut out the world. I promise it helps!
Im so happy you got help Grace, even if you realized it wasn’t for you. My childhood friend was not as lucky, multiple attempts of getting help at the ER and being sent home in the morning to wait to see a therapist… 3 month wait. They couldn’t wait that long.. it’s so sad, thank you for shedding light on this. Regardless of the outcome it’s nice to feel connected
First off, thank you so much for sharing, I’m sure this helped more people than you know: Also, In order for you to receive medication covered by insurance you need to be diagnosed, which is probably why they diagnosed you so quickly. But if you feel that’s not the correct diagnosis you should definitely look for a second opinion, usually a therapist can give you that!
Like Brianna said, anyone who looks at you differently is stupid. Proud of you grace, glad to hear you’re feeling good!!!! Cheers to an amazing new year
you guys are seriously my favorite friend duo. Also I definitely don't think of Grace any differently. If anything I respect her even more helping break the stigma around mental health on the platform she has. I hope you guys have a great year.
I was also diagnosed bipolar at the mental hospital. But I met ppl who were in there for bipolar and I’m not like that really, mostly just super sad and anxious and obsessive. I recently got off my antipsychotics bc I think I was misdiagnosed
So proud of Grace, I feel great things for her for 2023. I hope I misunderstood what sounded like Bri didn't see Grace much over the break, when she would have needed it most
Here’s some advice for anyone who ends up in a psych unit. Make sure you don’t stay in bed. Go to the groups. Even if you feel it doesn’t help, you being there shows the nurses you want to get better. If you sleep or stay in your room all day they see that as negative and not ready to improve. This is coming from my personal experiences. I’ve been 4 times in my 20s. Stay safe out there ❤
You should have fan guests because I feel like you’d be able to talk about anything and everyone would bring something different 😂 obvi a pre-interview would probably have to happen…maybe with Hannah and Gia to see if the vibes are there or not and to find a topic. Even if it’s just a segment, it would be cool to see the different people that follow you guys
Omg grace. So happy you’re doing ok. This literally happened to me in June lol and now I’m doing better than ever. 6 months off medication 11 months sober
You would think these are the best years of Graces life working at barstool, living in NY, working with her best friend. Don’t abuse drugs and alcohol kids!!
just last week in idaho a 32 year old man ran in front of a car/semi truck on the freeway, killing himself. He was running from the hospital, wearing scrubs, and the semi driver is 66, and the Buick driver is 77 fucking sad, and terrifying. like literally 2 days ago? homicide in the city over, they just caught him. not to mention the rates of living here, there are SO many homeless people.
Teared up instantly when I heard what grace was going thru cause a bitch can relate... I've always felt like I was crazy and should go to one also but I didn't know what to expect so I didn't... I love you guys tho always the highlight of my week stay strong Grace
Me hearing them ask for recommendations on where to go for their live tour and screaming “ST. LOUISSS” at my phone because that’s where I live and then they proceed to talk shit on Missouri 😳😅
The sorority washing machine stuff is always the rumor. They said it about mine and we had stackable washer/dryer. We were like how are you sitting on it? Recruitment is way more mental hazing than anything physical
Grace it is so powerful to make that decision for yourself let alone share it with the PlanBri community and make people feel less alone. Mad respect for you 💜
SO proud of u Grace for seeking help and being open with us. so many people in our age group are dealing with real mental health crisis's and need to know its okay to seek help. we fucking love you so much. you matter and are a gift to this earth
If I look at Gracie gal any different it’s only because I feel like I can actually relate a little more now 🥺 so proud of you for taking care of you
So proud of you, Grace! A quick stint in the mental hospital is way more common than you’d think. You’re setting an amazing example for all of your listeners to seek help if they need it. Your actions save lives. Sending you love!
Not looking at you any different Grace, you simply made me feel more normal so thank you. Welcome back we missed you!!
I want to hug Grace. I even give Bri a big pat on the back for supporting her and knowing she needed her Mom. Hope Grace figures it out and finds the right meds. Love ya girls.
So much respect for Grace for speaking about this very vulnerable and private time in her life! ❤️
I went through a year period of dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, and therapists!
Yoga, church, my friends and family really got me out of that dark place! ❤️
Wishing you love light and warmth❤️
I’ve been in the hospital 3 times so thank you guys for being so honest and raw about the downsides of the mental health system!
Brianna- you did the right thing by calling Graces’ mom! Your a great friend ❤️
Their friendship is so special 💕
