    I feel so bad for you that you feel the need to have a disclaimer at the beginning. It sucks that people always compare situations to their own. One persons bad year is completely situational within their own context.

    Eating disorders are absolute hell. They’re so hard to understand if you haven’t gone through it. Wishing you all the best x

    I think I speak for everyone in saying that, if you ever just need a break from everything (even though TH-cam wasn't necessarily the whole problem, rest never does any harm) you don't need to say anything or post anything, just don't post. You're such an inspirational person not only getting through all of this, but also sharing it. We live in a society which tells us to maintain a good diet and keep exercising and sleep the same amount every night, and hear hinge are really important. But compared the advice about mental health, which seems to be that we should keep going until we can't any more, it just seems crazy that mental rest isn't valued enough. I hope 2020 is better for you. X

    I think that ‘You look happier’ is one of the best compliments ever, especially after going through rough times. I’m glad you’re getting better and I’m so glad you went to get help when you did. Keep smiling, and keep those people close to you who helped you💗

    My uncle has many mental health problems, and attends group therapy sessions run by mind. It helps him a lot and means he also gets out the house and into town once a week. Please donate guys!

    Recovery is never a straight line, just so long as you are moving in the right direction xx

    I've struggled with an eating disorder myself through 2019 and it's one of the hardest things; the struggling in silence, the implicit or explicit judgement from others and whilst there are loads of reasons for ED's mine at least just despising myself so so much. Thank you for your honesty and candid nature throughout, you're such a strong person and deserve to give yourself credit for that. I hope your 2020 is incredible and much kinder to you x

    When you said about the car crashes, i get that. I feel like if i dont worry about something then it will happen so i have to worry 24/7 so nothing bad will happen - doesn't really make sense. If im not worrying im panicking that im not worrying.

    Eve I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you. I’m so sorry that all of this happened to you this year and that your GP was so dismissive of you, which is horrible. I remember watching your vlog where you talked about your dissociation and really relating to what you were saying as I was also experiencing it at the time. Thank you for sharing this with us and this video will help so many people. I’m so glad I was able to meet you at Empowered by Vee this year because your videos have really helped me find help for my mental health. I hope 2020 brings you nothing but joy because you truly deserve it!

    my heart broke hearing you talk about your experience with the gp, i had exactly the same problem and it sticks with me even now. i still worry that i’m just being dramatic, or ungrateful. sending you so much love ❤️

    2019 was a hard year for me as well Eve cause I was just continuously stressed about lots of things like my driving test and A- level exams and getting a summer job and now to top it all off my grandad just passed away. My birthday is in 2 days and I don't even feel like celebrating anymore. But I'm so proud of you being brave enough to speak up about it. Hope 2020 will be a better year for both of us xx

    I always love your videos Eve, but this one hit different. Your 2019 sounds just like my 2018, and it gets so much better. The last 10 minutes made me tear up because I relate so fricken much. I understand how difficult it is to explain yourself and this was so brave of you. You continue to inspire me and thousands of others. I love you, keep thriving and looking after yourself xx

    Just wanted to say I’m so proud of you for making it through this year and still being so kind and thoughtful despite everything the universe has thrown at you! Never ever give up eve things can and will always get better, there are better days ahead. Keep smiling, sending all my love x

    I went through the exact same thing a few years ago, and although mental health problems may never go away, I PROMISE it gets better. It really does in every sense. Learning your limits, your triggers etc helps you to step in the other direction and reach for the stars. Don't be thrown off by dips along the road and don't be ashamed if things get really bad again <3 as they say: you have survived 100% of your worst days. Keep going Eve because there are wonderful things in store for you x

    Thank you for talking about this. I can’t express how much of a relief it is to hear someone be confident in talking about things with which you feel that you are alone :)

    I'm so glad that you have been so open with your mental health journey this year, I went through a very similar spiral this year including the lack of eating and it is so nice to know that I'm not alone in this struggle. When I finally went to the doctor (with my friends basically holding my hand to do it), she immediately agreed that i have anxiety and suggested that I go on medication, which has helped so much. Keep taking it one day at a time and celebrate all the little victories with your mental health journey
