Hey Melissa, it’s nearly the end of the decade and I just want to thank you for being here this entire decade of my life. I hope that you stay strong during this time. In this decade I’ve moved from teenager to adult and have been watching your videos throughout. You have helped me and many others a lot through our struggles with mental health. I hope you we can help you too.
Know that you are loved, you are valuable, and you are valid!!! Also, know that there are probably many people on TH-cam, if not a whole community, who are posting about the same things you are going through. That can help you come to terms with what’s going on and give you some strategies to cope. Sending all the love I can!
The only reason I mention the possibility of videos is for you to understand. As viewers of your channel, it is NOT our business to know every single thing about your life, and we care about your safety and well-being. That’s paramount 💛 here’s hoping you get some peace of mind and clarity!!!
Hey, you’re amazing. And I can only imagine how scary all of this must be right now. New diagnoses are terrifying, dissociation of any kind is incredibly difficult to accept and process. Trauma really f***s with our heads. Take life one present moment at a time. Keep existing, you are worth it. Things won’t stay so horrible forever. I know you’ve gone through hell and back in your life already, and I know that means you have the strength in you to get through this too.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever commented on one of your videos before but I’ve been watching them for awhile. I struggle with mental illness and you help me to feel validated and worthy just by existing. I can only promise that, at least in my world, you truly exist.
I'm sorry I understand totally and been there I have schizoaffective disorder remember do where human we are not labels so no matter what they say you have the libal is not you your the strongest and good hearted person I know stay strong remember you are never alone
So sorry you're struggling right now. Please remember how loved you are. You have helped me through some rough times in my life as a teenager (I showed my parents some of your mini movies on self harm when I couldn't find the words to explain and it helped a lot), and I always look forward to hearing from you again. Stay strong, you'll be in my prayers ☺
Oh wow. Ive been watching you for years now. I started back when i was really struggling with my tourettes diagnosis and you really helped me through. i had known i had this before i had tourettes because i was in constant therapy. To learn that you also have this? its.. idk its some kind of empathetic connection i feel.. You can do this. I know its alarming and it really feels like your losing control of your life but you can do it, i know you can. (ironically due to my symptoms of this very thing, my mind had lost connection with the memory that your channel even existed, hense why im seeing this an entire year late, youtube had stopped recommending me it. i came bere bc i saw someone on tiktok that looked like you and everything clicked back into place OOPS)
I know. It's hard to ask for help, because I'm afraid to admit that things are 'that bad'. Things are never 'that bad', they are just not meant to be faced alone. Keep healing.
I just left you a comment on your brass balls episode and I really hope you read it. It took a lot out of me to write that and I'm so so sorry to see you're not doing so great. I hope you feel more stable soon, I'm really sorry to see someone who's videos helped me so much when I was at my worst mentally. All of the best wishes to you.
I really hope you're alright sweetheart you mean more to me than you'll ever know you're awesome and it breaks ny herat that you're going through a tough time love you so much melissa
I care about you and I’m here for you as much as I can be from Texas lol. I hope you have plenty of support but I’m always available if you need someone to talk to.
Who the hell would tell you "you dont need help, don't get help." ?? That's rude of them and they should piss off. If YOU think YOU need help then get help. But that's just my opinion.
Who? Only reckless people who shouldn't use the tongues they have to speak or the fingers that peck at keyboards. I fight for keeping my mind, so I won't listen to that bull, but I worry for those who may be influenced to give up trying.
That doesn't quite apply to this. There are no meds for this; only long-term psychotherapy. Now that we may actually know what this is, I may have a chance.
I’m so clear on what time frame your exsperiancing. I’m still looking where to leave my email I’m following you closely. I care I so care. I have syntoms of yours. Yet really just want to be heAr for you Love D’Anna dannaalcocerhowey@gmail.com
Thank you for saying we need to ask for help sometimes. Your correct. I see my dr once a month. He’s there for me just to say thank you for getting it. Then I feel free to pull words outta a hat
idranktheseawater@yahoo.ca If you are trying to reach out for my benefit, I'm starting to get to that journey to okay, and I have the help to get there now. We can of course connect, and if you'd like, since I will trust the truth in that you relate, I can share what I offered in the description of today's video
I have never spoken of her. Though I have heard of her and the suspicions that she is faking, I have never looked her up. Thank you for watching and for being understanding
At the end of it all I was very pleased with myself to take everything head on instead of doing what the “dr.” Wanted . I’ve never felt so free in my life than right now . Last place I want to be is in some psych ward . I really wish I could smoke a joint with you and share poetry so you could know where my mind is at. Blessings to you and your endeavors...all my alone time I study study study , something I could not manage when on those damn pills. I know you’ll pull out of this sometimes time is what heals the hurt .
Dissociation is any of a wide array of experiences from mild detachment from immediate surroundings to more severe detachment from physical and emotional experiences. The major characteristic of all dissociative phenomena involves a detachment from reality, rather than a loss of reality as in psychosis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociation_(psychology) I've had black outs (amnesia) from too much alcohol many beers ago. Over time I developed a tolerance for alcohol and didn't get the black outs anymore. I hardly ever drink now. I'm watching my blood pressure and am trying to keep it down. Take your vitamins. You might want to get your thyroid levels checked, too. Could it be a side effect from medication you're taking?
@@IDrankTheSeaWater Did you have any amnesia? The reason I thought of thyroid problems is that I knew my mother was taking synthroid and around the time she had some type of psychosis including believing she was riding on a flying saucer, I read about low thyroid levels causing psychosis and told her about it. She told me she stopped taking synthroid around that time. She also had asthma and was taking medicine for that and had to take antibiotics for lung infections now and then. One side effect of a lot of antibiotics is psychosis.

Ive seen some of their videos. Im not sure I will make videos like that. Im looking to understand though.

I have this to, and it’s very jarring. And scary to realize this about yourself.
It’s rather frightening at first and some aspects can continue to be so. Thanks for relating

I hope things get better soon babes 💖 you're wonderful and it's so hard to see you down
All the best. Thinking of you.

I hope you feel better soon Melissa ❤️. Thank you for your videos and honesty. You’re an amazing person.
Melissa my thoughts are with you.
I know. It's hard to ask for help, because I'm afraid to admit that things are 'that bad'. Things are never 'that bad', they are just not meant to be faced alone. Keep healing.
Thanks Scott
Wishing you all the best. 💕

I hope you're ok hun ❤❤
I will be
Get well soon
I am surprised that they allow you to have your laptop while in the hospital.
Not all hospitals do. This one does
It’s not yours or my fault. Our brains get a lil shorted. Food don’t know. But I’m thinking of you. Just rest ok.
What are your diagnoses?
Tourette syndrome, OCD, C-PTSD, Eating disorder, and this new diagnosis
Who the hell would tell you "you dont need help, don't get help." ??
That's rude of them and they should piss off. If YOU think YOU need help then get help. But that's just my opinion.
Who? Only reckless people who shouldn't use the tongues they have to speak or the fingers that peck at keyboards. I fight for keeping my mind, so I won't listen to that bull, but I worry for those who may be influenced to give up trying.
Try too stay clear minded and get the right kind of help because now you need it, plz stay allert. Love you.
Meds not working right? 🧚♂️ love you get better ♥️
That doesn't quite apply to this. There are no meds for this; only long-term psychotherapy. Now that we may actually know what this is, I may have a chance.
I’m so clear on what time frame your exsperiancing. I’m still looking where to leave my email
I’m following you closely. I care I so care.
I have syntoms of yours. Yet really just want to be heAr for you
Love D’Anna

Mellissa how are you today? I’m thinking about you? 🧚♂️
I'm more present today. Thank you for asking.
Has this girl ever talked about Sweet Anita? Whether Sweet Anita seems to be embellish her symptoms
Oops, never mind - I watched the video. Not important!
I have never spoken of her. Though I have heard of her and the suspicions that she is faking, I have never looked her up.
Thank you for watching and for being understanding
i saw you on CBC
Yes. The episode played on Friday. It may have had re-runs. I think they did very well for the show. I enjoyed everyones perspectives.
The only one who can help us is ourselves, I found that out the hard way
At the end of it all I was very pleased with myself to take everything head on instead of doing what the “dr.” Wanted .
I’ve never felt so free in my life than right now . Last place I want to be is in some psych ward .

I know you’ll pull out of this sometimes time is what heals the hurt .
Perhaps try shadow work , it’s what helped me pull myself out of the hole
Nothing is impossible, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and try even though you don’t want to

I'm watching my blood pressure and am trying to keep it down. Take your vitamins. You might want to get your thyroid levels checked, too. Could it be a side effect from medication you're taking?
I take my vitamins and take Synthroid for my thyroid. This is caused by childhood trauma and not meds.
