yeah my week is getting better ot seems like the anxiety is dropping from serverity to being moderate now. well done Gem i am so proud of you i too am free from self harm for 1 and half years so i thank Jesus for that.
Hi Matthew, that's amazing that you have been self-harm free for so long, I hope to get there too one day. I'm so pleased your anxiety is less, I hope it continues that way for you. Take care my friend and have a safe and peaceful week. Hugs xx
@@TheLittleBluePot thanks Gem yes i do consider us to have a friendship i feel that your videos it's like we are there right with you as that is the vibe you give us and i love how you are so interested in your community on the channal but i want to encourage you that don't feel bad if you can't do video your wellbeing comes first i have to learn this the hard way
First let me say, it's absolutely beautiful where you are, I loved it because I'm depressed today and in bed but just seeing nature and your words of inspiration have already helped me a great deal💖 Congratulations on your 3 months!! Your video was very informative and kind and I know it will help many people and give them hope. I hope this mechanism of coping will be less stigmatized and people will be more open about it. I have a history too but I dont want to trigger you, ❤ I will say it's been 4 years of recovery, I only have thoughts but somehow I dont act on them. Therapy and meds definitely helped that portion of my depression. After a month of feeling stable my depression is back, like always it seems meds and therapy help and then I crash. I'm particularly sad because this was my first try at a non SSRI, it's a mood stabilizer. I thought finally this is the one.. Do you find this happens with you or anyone you know? And maybe you could give advice on hygiene during severe depression..because no one wants to really discuss it. But I cant bring myself to shower and I'd like to know what your thoughts are on that subject if it's not too personal. There are days the depression has me so sad and tired I dont have the will to care for myself. Thank you very much for your beautiful video it helped so much. Hugs from the States!!❤❤🤗🤗
Hi Elisa, congratulations on four years! Not triggering at all, it gives me hope as I'm sure it will others. Thanks for sharing your story and I agree, it needs to be less stigmatised. People think if they don't talk about it, it will go away. This only makes it harder for those going through it to get help. As for personal hygiene and depression, I agree with Sally (thanks Sally) it would be a great idea for a video. Also, just so you know, I have not showered today. I always floss and brush my teeth without fail, but everything else, I don't care. You are not alone my friend in the states. I totally get you about the crash, I have gone through the same cycle. Good luck with the mood stabilisers, let me know how you get on. Sending hugs back from the UK. Xx
I'm still self harming I have long good periods of feeling good then have 2 or 3 weeks of depression I've been like this now since I was 15 and I'm in my 40 now great about you not self harming for 3 months take care honey xx
Hi Donna, thanks for being so open about your self-harm, I know how hard it is to stop, it can be addictive. Depression just makes everything seem bad and makes us feel terrible. I'm hugging you tight. Take care and be safe. Love and hugs xx
