Yes “acting as if” is SO SO powerful. I got out of a very severe depression by imagining how my ideal self would be and one day I was like “fuck it” I’m gonna act as my ideal self and do the things my ideal self would do. Sounds very simple but it is indeed very powerful.
I honestly almost cried. I have been struggling with depression since I was a child and I realized a huge part of combating it IS delusion/manifestation and romanticizing my life. I was doing well as a microinfluencer but stopped posting for a year after dealing with obsessive fans. It’s been so hard to keep pushing but I truly needed to see this, thank you.
that's how I pulled myself out of it! one of my therapists said "fake it til you make it" when I was 15 and it stuck with me. The repetitive positivity is what you'll eventually believe even if you don't at first.
Mannnn I did cry. I can feel myself coming out of this depressive state and I’m honestly working on everything this video talks about. I learned from so many resources and pretty much took these things away now it’s applying. Learning to give myself grace in this journey, I’m 19 and I and a college student in Akron Ohio but I also feel that college and Akron may not serve me anymore. I’m finding myself, I love my self. Everyone love yourself, even if you have to lie to yourself, self-love is the true key
so get the help you need - affirmations - Speak and act as if you already have what you need - invest in yourself ( exercise, get up early to meditate to medidtate , take 30 mins out of the day for yourself) - pray more!!! grow yourself spirtually - surround youraself with what charges you! - LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION!
I'm likely twice your age and I'm close to bawling at your words of wisdom. So much of these phases of depression resonate with me (if you know - you know), & you can't really see it clearly until you come out on the other side. I wish I had found you sooner. Your transparency TRULY inspires!
this is so crazy, i am watching this video now and hearing you say that your delusions got you to 30k subs when you now have 253k subs just 9 months later is 😍 👏🏽 snaps for you bria! this is so inspiring and i love to see it!!
I knew a lot of this but hearing it from an outsider of my life makes it easier to take heed. I really appreciate your videos, they make me feel like I have a friend that gives me good advice.
This is so true. Five years ago I was super stressed and depressed. I ended up in the hospital with migraines. Finally, I realized I needed a new life. I (and my boyfriend) sold all my (our) stuff and left the US and traveled full time for three years. We visited or lived in 18 countries. I let go of so much stuff and became freer. I became a better manifester. I stopped taking America so seriously. And I discovered what I really want for my life. What I did was a huge life shift and I'm so blessed that I was able to reset through travel. I'm back in the US now following through on my dreams.
@@amandaavia Hi! We worked freelance gigs online with American companies as we traveled and we positioned ourselves as luxury home sitters, so we rarely paid for housing, but we were in amazing homes most of the time. I'm launching a TH-cam channel this week that dives into living as nomads. Stop by if you'd like to get more info. We're back in the states temporarily for a work contract my partner has here in Los Angeles, but we're still living nomadically. We're not renting an apartment. Instead we're house-sitting and doing Airbnb's.
@@amandaavia By the way, I have lots of friends who are traveling full time and they're doing it in different ways than we're doing it. My point is it doesn't have to be a dream. You can definitely figure out how to do it in a way that works for you. I even have friends with children who are traveling full time.
I definitely resonated with this video. I started getting traction on Tiktok but my health declined tremendously(black outs, anxiety attacks, car accidents, and more). I had to unexpectedly drop everything to focus on my mental health for over 6 months. As of today, I'm doing so much better and I'm building the confidence to get back on there. Like you said, some days I just lay in bed and listen to a podcast and that's enough. Today, I completed my laundry and I was happy with that. Pilates, daily nature walks, and Abraham Hicks have definitely helped. I needed this video!
I have manic depression and bipolar disorder so I struggle with a lot of the things you mentioned in this video, I’m also from Kansas City so I totally understand how the seasonal depression makes a major impact on your mood and overall productivity, girl I’ve been struggling with showing up , getting up , creating , you name it .. it’s all challenging at times, this video is literally the motivation I needed! Moving forward I’m going to be more delusional, and show up as my ideal self rather than my current self . I have no ideal how I came across this but all I know is God couldn’t have brought it to me at no better time than now ! Thank you so much for sharing girly I’m so inspired and so incredibly happy for you especially considering you come from where I’m from 😭✨💕💕
Ehhh, I don't know if being "delusional" is healthy for mood disorders, personality disorders, etc. Could exacerbate things, so hopefully, you were able to check with your practitioner.
I too used positive delusions to get out of my self loathing, I can confirm it’s completely life changing and listening to you we’ve fell into many of the same steps of using delulu for our own advantage. Now I’m giving a presentation on being delulu and letting how it can change your life. Your video is one of many I’ll talk about, thank you for sharing this with people, from experience I can say it’s such an important thing for people to know to get outside of their stuck mental and physical states.
That PMDD is so real. My body felt so out of place that I couldn’t function properly. It’s one of the lowest times of your life. Because you want to feel like your normal self, but for some reason your body doesn’t want to agree. I’m glad that you’ve found something that has helped you.
This video has me binge watching all your videos now. Thank you thank you thank you! So glad I found you here on the tube. Everything in this video resonated with me. Delusion became my way to overcome depression last year and I’ve seen my life change tremendously!!! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I'm also in a place where I realize I don't feel anything (depression) and working myself out of it with therapy, exercise, and time outside and loving on myself... and time. Thanks for sharing your story. I relate and glad to hear there's hope. My TH-cam channel is motivating me to keep showing up. It feels good to be productive, help others, and build my own community all while healing myself.
I feel like you are truly a creator/creative person. That’s why even in the middle of shit you found ways to cope with depression via art of creation. This is not delusion. This is getting your mind somewhere else and dealing with stress of the disease in different ways.
I love the abraham hicks books. Ask and It Is Given was lifechanging for my mindset. Its been 4 years since Ive been learning from Abraham and I have tools to overcome doubt, fear, depression or any negative emotion. I find myself more happier. Im glad I was able to learn how to be aware of my thoughts so that I could change them and get myself on the path to a healthier, more fulfilling life. Thank you, Bria for sharing the importance of a mindset. A lot of others will find this very helpful and inspiring.
This year I struggled the most financially but I feel like it helped me grow a lot as a person it feels awful having to worry bout bills but it motivated me to want more for myself
This is so amazing I’m at a turning point in my life and it feels amazing but also it’s difficult because the old me is fighting with the new me. I’m slowly making progress ♥️.
I’m so happy that I found you on TH-cam. Even though Im not necessarily in a depressive episode, I’m enjoying this video still. This is only one of the MULTIPLE videos I’ve watched of yours since I found you earlier this week. If no one’s told you today, you’re making an impact! Thank you for your work.♥️
I love this. How else are we suppose to break these glass ceilings? What it means [for real] to rise above and "act as if". Amazing. I am so inspired and more reassured.
Hey Bria! After years of struggling with what I thought was extreme pms (crying for no reason, awful to the people that love me most, irritable, jittery, and depressed MONSTER) found your channel and am now sure I have PMDD. THANK YOU for being you, and showing the world that its OKAY to be real. You've helped me more than you know. Now I need to figure out how the hell I can dim these symptoms eeeeek.
thank you thank you thank you! You are filled with wisdom and beauty and joy, dont ever doubt that, you are authentic and real and so much appreciated. Take care of you.
In regards to your condition ( im sorry i forget what you called it) but I to have been through depression and something that I have recently realised helped me was to speak it out of existence ( I had.... and now I am healed) (I am healthy, I am fixed, I am pain free) I have found this worked with my depression, lack of self love and physical non stop extremely painful headaches and migraines I used to get several times a day a few years back. and now today I don't have any of those problems I mean you will still every now and again have reminders but i view these reminders more of oh look how far you have come. Just a thought, also have been binge watching you for like 3 weeks literally the day b4 i found your channel i was like God I need a mentor in my life and then i opened the youtube page and your video was under recommended watch it and haven't stop since I always find them so helpful, especially as a small youtuber / content creator who is also trying to grow her platforms.
I loved this & I wouldn’t even call this delusion, it’s more like speaking into existence and manifesting what you wanted to see and be. People do this all the time when they want to see a change rather than what they actually see.
This is honestly maybe one of the best pieces of advice you can give to someone who's depressed. When someone is depressed, their negative emotions are amplified and they perhaps tend to be hypersensitive to everything, especially to negative emotion. Speaking from personal experience, I think depression makes you make your own situation worse than it actually is (I.e., a delusion). Of course in some cases the circumstances match the person's mental state, but there are also people who are objectively in a decent place (they have a roof over their head, food, a job/education, some sort of family, etc.) who are extremely depressed. Perhaps the solution to that, especially for someone who is feeling hopeless and like there's no other way out of their depression, is to literally go to the other extreme (I.e., make a positive delusion) and mentally convince yourself that you're happy (then do things that match that mentality).
They only call it being delusional as a negative thing because there is immense power behind the thoughts you think and the things that you allow yourself to believe.
I’m in bed Listening to this now, a little down today. Thank you for this video. I’m from 👍🏾🇨🇦🇹🇹 I’m 54. I’m struggling today. But this video helped. Your are a smart young lady. Stay awesome.🇨🇦👍🏾👩🏿🇨🇦🇨🇦
This video hit home for me because I felt like this at some point in my life last year or so. Just so emotional and triggered by a lot of things. Been in therapy for over a year now and I feel like a new person. I’m still working on myself but I feel better. Saying that you moved back home 10 years later is how I feel now. My mom is moving back home and I will be living in AZ all by myself. No family near and I’m scared because I have always been around my family. I feel like I need to be back on the east coast to have that support and energy near me. I almost cried just like some others in the comments because I understand the feeling to a degree. Thank you so much for your content ❤️👑
You are so beautiful, brave, courageous, honest and inspiring. You are helping so many people and a huge thank you for inspiring me to level up on youtube. Your videos are classy, clean and sleek ✊
This is the video that I've related to the most on the Internet. Ever. I have been on a manifestation journey for quite some time now and it feels so hard because once in a while, I would feel so down & depressed and it feels like all of my good vibrations are gone in a minute. I have noticed that it would happen near my period, but I never thought that it is an actual disorder that people are going through. I am so grateful to have come across this video at this point in life because this is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you so much for this content, I subscribed 2 minutes into this video. I hope you know that what you are doing is incredibly inspiring. Have an amazing day!
I’ve gone through a similar experience with stress, depression, anxiety and pmdd. Thank you for being so open and honest. Thank you for conveying your experience and sharing it with us. At the end of the day we’re human. We need kindness especially to ourselves. If we can’t love ourselves, then we can’t show up. I knew I had to do something differently and make changes when I was stuck in that cyclical nightmare. I didn’t want to live that way. It was killing me. I am better today. I am working on positive affirmations daily as well as taking positive actions. I am showing up for myself. I’ve reduced negativity and am focusing on building healthy relationships. Bless you. You have a kind heart and your light shines beautifully!
I love you for mentioning Abraham Hicks and your explanation of the mindset in response to our environment! Thank you for sharing your beautiful energy.
wow I really appreciate finding you. I was in a TH-cam spiral because i have been feeling so low, and watching videos is making me feel better. However i know its an addiction/ I’m doing to excess and its probably compounding the problem. BUT this is the reason I really do love the internet - Just a few gentle nudges from you are making me feel a little better, a little more hope, a little more motivation and inspiration. Actually, a lot.
Wow, your videos really resonate with me. I’m on the same path currently. I just moved back to the city of my childhood also after 10 years. I know I’m being called to step up and step out for myself at this moment. The people you intended to find your account are here. Congrats seriously!
Thank you for sharing. I was down and stressed when I went back to school and work. I had never felt this way before. I am still unlearning the bad habits or tired emotions I feel but am also making sure I am aware of what makes me feel and why. If I don’t like it I’ll change it but if it’s just that I feel better knowing I check in with myself.
This video literally found me. Thank you for sharing your story. For months, a 3 years, I felt like a fraud. Even with my own self hype, affirmations, self romanticism I (I come from poor self esteem), I felt I was a delusional selfish b*tch. Depression, negative thoughts, you name it. Yknow, thoughts like “I’m kidding myself. I’m such a fraud. I’m nobody” ect for me. I thought I was the only one! I relate and I thank you for sharing
so happy you are doing so much better now. i totally agree to just about everything said. you have to decide who you wanna be, then take those small steps to be her! i go through funks/ bouts of depression and i let myself feel bad and fall off, but then remind myself i can’t stay there.
I had to PAUSE this video, to come comment that i felt SOOOO IDENTIFIED with EVERYTHING you said, Ive been through, and kinda still being through sth similar... but trying to be more conscius about how I speak to myself... and I felt soooo fine while you speak, cause ive been trying everything you said, and Im feeling so much better. THANKS FOR SHEARING and inspiring others and being SO OPEN HEARTED and HONEST!! you won a new subscriber... XOXO
Duuude. I used to be depressed af and on meds but i quit the meds and now I feel like you explained, not depressed or anything I just dont feel nun lol its pretty cool im getting a lot done $$
Hi Bria! I’m a relatively new subscriber and follower of yours, I found you last year and have loved your videos. This one in particular, I found myself just relating to almost everything. Being delusional, reframing failure, becoming more spiritual, experiencing novelty, being depressed and not wanting to leave the bed for days on end.. thank you for being so open and inspiring! xx
Thank you so much ❤ I needed this! I don’t feel as if I’m alone with this. You’re literally reiterating everything I’m saying to myself to heal. Like everything! You even mentioned Reiki!
I felt the part about the city you lived in and moving back to your home city. I’ve been out west for 18 years and finally making my way back east after all these years. Bloom where you are plant but some places are “layovers” until the next stop.
The game of life works like this: •You join the game (you didn't ask to) •You create your character based on what you think you identify more (personality, aesthetics, inspiration in general...) •Now you basically play, you can make plans for the future, you can meet some other players, you can adopt a pet... you can work.. Yeah that's the game of life! Remember you can go to the next phase of this game if you believe in God and trust his promises. I recommend the Adventist religion because they base their teachings directly on Bible. ❤
New subscriber here! I just watched your video about the abundance mindset the other day and pretty much immediately subscribed! I’ve watched a few of your videos now, but this one definitely resonated with me because I’m currently trying to find my way through my depression. I’m blessed to have a good support system around me, but so many unfortunately suffer in silence. It’s wonderful when someone uses their platform to talk about their experiences and the work they put into getting back to a good place. Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and transparent about your journey!
This really hit home. So many things you said are what I observed in myself but just assumed I was weird lol - so thank you for making me less weird :-)
Oh my gaawdd I would die for a friend like you! Everything you were saying (and always say if we’re honest) really resonated with me queen, I just know conversation with you would be so ✨intellectually stimulating✨ thank you for sharing virtual bestie 💕
Watching today and you’ve gained a good 150k followers in 4 months! Get it babe! I’m still very much finding my way out of the abyss… but I will try this. Thank you for you content! ❤
Thank you for your transparency.this just helped me with my depression .I have pmdd as well and endometriosis .I got depo shot to get rid of period .delusion sounds genius to me. I love this concept .happy people don't stay in bed all day so I will not as well! GOD BLESS YOU.your very self aware intelligent and compassionate honest it's a breath of fresh air finally someone I can relate to! 😌😉
This was a great video. I too am from KC. I will never forget KC but just felt I needed a change for myself so I could grow as a person. Also just to experience life outside of KC as well. Currently where I live suits me better. And there is no reason to feel some type of way about it. Everyone is different. Try to do what’s best for you. Great video. Mental health is key. Very important.
I know this has to be the hardest thing to talk about….and I really appreciate this so much cause I do understand this so much because I was like that last year and tbh I am getting better but I takes time healing so far am loving the journey ❤️
Shes so cute kisses to your fur baby. Thank you for the advice. Since pandemic I've been severely depressed and anxiety panic attacks 🙃 trying to get out of this mindset
Your confidence has really improved. I do believe in meditation. Sometimes it’s temporary, sometimes it’s a lifetime. I’m so proud of u from the 1st video I ever saw. Congratulations 🎊 on all the things you’ve worked so hard for and accomplished. To GOD Be The Glory ‼️
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love hearing from young people on topics like this, especially young ladies of color. God bless you. Keep moving forward and keep helping people!
Love this. My 17 year old deals with self image and anxiety sometimes and these tips could help her alot. Thank you. And your content is making a tremendous difference. The Bible says cast down every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. And The Bible defines who we are and tells us what to think about.
When you said, “Happy people don’t stay in bed 24/7,” that was an eye opener for me
Yes “acting as if” is SO SO powerful. I got out of a very severe depression by imagining how my ideal self would be and one day I was like “fuck it” I’m gonna act as my ideal self and do the things my ideal self would do. Sounds very simple but it is indeed very powerful.
im going to act as if I am rich and wealthy I have no choice but to become right ?
“If you don’t like you, there’s nothing anyone could say” I felt that.
I like myself so then it helps me not to care at all about what others feel , I felt that
I honestly almost cried. I have been struggling with depression since I was a child and I realized a huge part of combating it IS delusion/manifestation and romanticizing my life. I was doing well as a microinfluencer but stopped posting for a year after dealing with obsessive fans. It’s been so hard to keep pushing but I truly needed to see this, thank you.
Keto. Idk why people don’t talk about how much relief it brings to long term depression but it does. Good luck
that's how I pulled myself out of it! one of my therapists said "fake it til you make it" when I was 15 and it stuck with me. The repetitive positivity is what you'll eventually believe even if you don't at first.

This just made cry, you just described what I deal with monthly. It's hard having no one around me understand what's going on with my body and mind
That is so true alot of doctors don't listen when you tell them I'm depressed because of my health not because of my mind
Acting as if got me dropping music every month instead of every week. i'm taking my time now. great video
This year I struggled the most financially but I feel like it helped me grow a lot as a person it feels awful having to worry bout bills but it motivated me to want more for myself

Just a thought, also have been binge watching you for like 3 weeks literally the day b4 i found your channel i was like God I need a mentor in my life and then i opened the youtube page and your video was under recommended watch it and haven't stop since I always find them so helpful, especially as a small youtuber / content creator who is also trying to grow her platforms.
One of the most real content creators keep blessing us with these videos
Damn girl! This is so needed. Wish I had found this video 10 years ago… and watched it weekly forever. No joke.
This was so pure and resonated with me. It's the first time I came across your page and it is safe to say I will be staying for the long run.
I loved this & I wouldn’t even call this delusion, it’s more like speaking into existence and manifesting what you wanted to see and be. People do this all the time when they want to see a change rather than what they actually see.
This is honestly maybe one of the best pieces of advice you can give to someone who's depressed. When someone is depressed, their negative emotions are amplified and they perhaps tend to be hypersensitive to everything, especially to negative emotion. Speaking from personal experience, I think depression makes you make your own situation worse than it actually is (I.e., a delusion). Of course in some cases the circumstances match the person's mental state, but there are also people who are objectively in a decent place (they have a roof over their head, food, a job/education, some sort of family, etc.) who are extremely depressed. Perhaps the solution to that, especially for someone who is feeling hopeless and like there's no other way out of their depression, is to literally go to the other extreme (I.e., make a positive delusion) and mentally convince yourself that you're happy (then do things that match that mentality).
They only call it being delusional as a negative thing because there is immense power behind the thoughts you think and the things that you allow yourself to believe.
I’m in bed

This video hit home for me because I felt like this at some point in my life last year or so. Just so emotional and triggered by a lot of things. Been in therapy for over a year now and I feel like a new person. I’m still working on myself but I feel better. Saying that you moved back home 10 years later is how I feel now. My mom is moving back home and I will be living in AZ all by myself. No family near and I’m scared because I have always been around my family. I feel like I need to be back on the east coast to have that support and energy near me. I almost cried just like some others in the comments because I understand the feeling to a degree. Thank you so much for your content ❤️👑
You are so beautiful, brave, courageous, honest and inspiring. You are helping so many people and a huge thank you for inspiring me to level up on youtube. Your videos are classy, clean and sleek ✊
Rewatching immediately. I need this message now.
Omg I’m so happy to have found another woman with PMDD that can relate ! Thank you so much
Just a dude who happen to stumble across your Chanel and now I’m hooked💯
This is the video that I've related to the most on the Internet. Ever. I have been on a manifestation journey for quite some time now and it feels so hard because once in a while, I would feel so down & depressed and it feels like all of my good vibrations are gone in a minute. I have noticed that it would happen near my period, but I never thought that it is an actual disorder that people are going through. I am so grateful to have come across this video at this point in life because this is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you so much for this content, I subscribed 2 minutes into this video. I hope you know that what you are doing is incredibly inspiring. Have an amazing day!
I’ve gone through a similar experience with stress, depression, anxiety and pmdd. Thank you for being so open and honest. Thank you for conveying your experience and sharing it with us. At the end of the day we’re human. We need kindness especially to ourselves. If we can’t love ourselves, then we can’t show up. I knew I had to do something differently and make changes when I was stuck in that cyclical nightmare. I didn’t want to live that way. It was killing me. I am better today. I am working on positive affirmations daily as well as taking positive actions. I am showing up for myself. I’ve reduced negativity and am focusing on building healthy relationships. Bless you. You have a kind heart and your light shines beautifully!
I love you for mentioning Abraham Hicks and your explanation of the mindset in response to our environment! Thank you for sharing your beautiful energy.
wow I really appreciate finding you. I was in a TH-cam spiral because i have been feeling so low, and watching videos is making me feel better. However i know its an addiction/ I’m doing to excess and its probably compounding the problem. BUT this is the reason I really do love the internet - Just a few gentle nudges from you are making me feel a little better, a little more hope, a little more motivation and inspiration. Actually, a lot.
Wow, your videos really resonate with me. I’m on the same path currently. I just moved back to the city of my childhood also after 10 years. I know I’m being called to step up and step out for myself at this moment. The people you intended to find your account are here. Congrats seriously!
I love these intimate talk segments. FREE therapy at its best! Thanks for the gems you keep dropping 💎🤌🏽
Thank you for sharing. I was down and stressed when I went back to school and work. I had never felt this way before. I am still unlearning the bad habits or tired emotions I feel but am also making sure I am aware of what makes me feel and why. If I don’t like it I’ll change it but if it’s just that I feel better knowing I check in with myself.
Bria, thank you. This is such an important topic that doesn’t get talked about enough, especially people struggling post covid. Keep it up girl 👏🏻🤍💘
Girl 30K???? You’re not acting as of anymore, we are all your besties now!!!! Congrats on 140K!!!
Watching this in March 2023, and you almost have 300k subs!
This video literally found me. Thank you for sharing your story. For months, a 3 years, I felt like a fraud. Even with my own self hype, affirmations, self romanticism I (I come from poor self esteem), I felt I was a delusional selfish b*tch. Depression, negative thoughts, you name it. Yknow, thoughts like “I’m kidding myself. I’m such a fraud. I’m nobody” ect for me. I thought I was the only one! I relate and I thank you for sharing
no cap you’re amazing. tysm for this real ass video - i’m 8 min into it and already so happy i clicked on it
so happy you are doing so much better now. i totally agree to just about everything said. you have to decide who you wanna be, then take those small steps to be her! i go through funks/ bouts of depression and i let myself feel bad and fall off, but then remind myself i can’t stay there.
you just described my life next year. i don’t really need these tips anymore but your experience was therapeutic to hear ♡
I had to PAUSE this video, to come comment that i felt SOOOO IDENTIFIED with EVERYTHING you said, Ive been through, and kinda still being through sth similar... but trying to be more conscius about how I speak to myself... and I felt soooo fine while you speak, cause ive been trying everything you said, and Im feeling so much better. THANKS FOR SHEARING and inspiring others and being SO OPEN HEARTED and HONEST!! you won a new subscriber... XOXO
Duuude. I used to be depressed af and on meds but i quit the meds and now I feel like you explained, not depressed or anything I just dont feel nun lol its pretty cool im getting a lot done $$
Hi Bria! I’m a relatively new subscriber and follower of yours, I found you last year and have loved your videos. This one in particular, I found myself just relating to almost everything. Being delusional, reframing failure, becoming more spiritual, experiencing novelty, being depressed and not wanting to leave the bed for days on end.. thank you for being so open and inspiring! xx
Hi Bria! I just wanted to hop on to say that you add value to my life with your videos. Thank you :)
Thank you so much ❤ I needed this! I don’t feel as if I’m alone with this. You’re literally reiterating everything I’m saying to myself to heal. Like everything! You even mentioned Reiki!
I felt the part about the city you lived in and moving back to your home city. I’ve been out west for 18 years and finally making my way back east after all these years. Bloom where you are plant but some places are “layovers” until the next stop.
The game of life works like this:
•You join the game (you didn't ask to)
•You create your character based on what you think you identify more (personality, aesthetics, inspiration in general...)
•Now you basically play, you can make plans for the future, you can meet some other players, you can adopt a pet... you can work.. Yeah that's the game of life!
Remember you can go to the next phase of this game if you believe in God and trust his promises. I recommend the Adventist religion because they base their teachings directly on Bible. ❤
New subscriber here! I just watched your video about the abundance mindset the other day and pretty much immediately subscribed! I’ve watched a few of your videos now, but this one definitely resonated with me because I’m currently trying to find my way through my depression. I’m blessed to have a good support system around me, but so many unfortunately suffer in silence. It’s wonderful when someone uses their platform to talk about their experiences and the work they put into getting back to a good place. Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and transparent about your journey!
You are such a mirror for me! 🙏🏼
Everything is beautifully said
I have to subscribe because your energy and communication is radiant . Blessings and gratitude to you and yours
This really hit home. So many things you said are what I observed in myself but just assumed I was weird lol - so thank you for making me less weird :-)

must admit new subscriber here and omg you def need your own podcast babe! loved it!!
Thank you so much for this video 😢❤ im inspired to live life again
This was a great video. I too am from KC. I will never forget KC but just felt I needed a change for myself so I could grow as a person. Also just to experience life outside of KC as well. Currently where I live suits me better. And there is no reason to feel some type of way about it. Everyone is different. Try to do what’s best for you. Great video. Mental health is key. Very important.
I know this has to be the hardest thing to talk about….and I really appreciate this so much cause I do understand this so much because I was like that last year and tbh I am getting better but I takes time healing so far am loving the journey ❤️
New subscriber💛
Shes so cute kisses to your fur baby. Thank you for the advice. Since pandemic I've been severely depressed and anxiety panic attacks 🙃 trying to get out of this mindset
I think I found your channel at the right time in my life.
Your confidence has really improved. I do believe in meditation. Sometimes it’s temporary, sometimes it’s a lifetime. I’m so proud of u from the 1st video I ever saw. Congratulations 🎊 on all the things you’ve worked so hard for and accomplished. To GOD Be The Glory ‼️
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love hearing from young people on topics like this, especially young ladies of color. God bless you. Keep moving forward and keep helping people!
delusion is just a manifestation until you give up
I honestly love all your videos, thank you for never giving up
Love this. My 17 year old deals with self image and anxiety sometimes and these tips could help her alot. Thank you. And your content is making a tremendous difference. The Bible says cast down every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. And The Bible defines who we are and tells us what to think about.
