You ignite so much passion in me that I just wrote 5 pages of journal notes to comment on this video! But, here's a shorter summary, because TH-cam and TLDR: I have found purpose, joy and understanding in my life by accepting my depression completely, without judgement and allowing the difficult feelings to be. I see depression as a signal to rest, relax, reflect and course correct my life towards my passions. The most difficult things in life are the most worthwhile things to do. Run towards your fears, experience your most difficult emotions deeply, and learn much about yourself in doing so. Life gives you all the pain, suffering and difficulty you need to realise who you are and what your power is. Thank you Kristen, for helping me see the power of simple gratitude and thinking positively of people. I came to your stream a sad, lonely person who felt life had treated them harshly, but I write this today as a happy, peaceful person glad of the challenges and lessons that life has taught me. You made me a better person and for that I will be forever thankful. Love and friendship, thesurfingcat
My favorite videos of yours are the ones where you talk about the products you're using and why they are good for you. I love hearing about what you eat daily, and the cleanses you go on...maybe elaborate on why you go on that specific one or why you added something to your daily routine, or why you stopped doing something and are trying something new. Your law of attraction videos are my favorite, maybe continue having conversations about attracting good things and how to manifest things. (Negative and positive affects)
Hey Kristen, thank you for this video (sorry, I'm coming to it late). I had depression quite badly through university too and still go through phases now years later. One of these has been over the last few months. All I've wanted to do is shut myself off from the world and pretty much do exactly what you mentioned in the video (watch anime, sleep, not shower, stay in PJ's etc). However, I found your channel through Loserfruit about a week back and have been watching your Fortnite clips, vlogs and Twitch stream ever since. In the last couple of days (of vlog catchup) you've made me smile and feel more motivated than I have done in a long long time. I've decluttered my house, been out and bought some new stuff to brighten the place up, I've made myself a healthy eating schedule, plan to start hitting the gym again and have finished little jobs I'd been putting off for ages. So yeah, I know you don't do much vlogging anymore (not that I can see anyway), but I just wanted you to know that people like me might come to it a bit late and still take so much away from it. You've inspired and motivated me to make a change. Plus I want to visit Canada now too, it looks beautiful in winter! I hope you have a lovely time in Miami.
Thanks for being so open, I love how you communicate with your fans so well. You play with them, you have such a great relationship with your fans! Which is why i love to watch your streams and videos! Thank you, Kitty ❤️❤️
I go through random loneliness too. But quite honestly whenever I watch your videos I feel like I have friend. My loneliness isn’t bad compared to others, especially because it is getting better. Thank you for the great content, and I love your videos on this channel and KittyPlays. Much Love Kristen ❤️ ZA
Thank you so much for making this video! I feel like it included a lot of things that I needed to hear today. It's a bit comforting knowing that many, if not all, creators walk a fairly lonely road. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just crazy but seeing this provided some insight and relief. I feel inspired and motivated me to keep pushing for my vision, even in the low times. Thank you again and Much love
I found you through gaming and it’s so nice to see you get real with your audience. Some creators try to hide being vulnerable on camera but I think it just helps to grow and connect with the audience more. Love it and can’t wait to see what you have planned for both channels :)
I am going through deeprison to the point I don't know what to do anymore but ever since I watch your videos it makes me smile thanks Kristen your the best
Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts with us Kristen. I really do appreciate these types of videos because it helps me reflect on my life and helps me figure out what my next goals are. When you said I’m alone all the time I felt that
Yaaaay, I really missed those videos!!! Thanks for making this one now!! Everything you say totally makes sense and I can relate a 100 %!! I work as a children´s book illustrator and it really took a long time to break into the industry, but now I´ve made it and I´m booked for 8 books now, so I´ve got plenty to do. The thing is, that i would also like to write my very own childrens book (not a picturebook, but a proper, thick childrensbook) and I decided to write at least one page a day. This is what really works out well, even on those days when I really don´t feel great about what I do. After writing this page I feel great, because I´ve achieved something and I´m getting closer and closer to the finished manuscript!! :D Thank youuuu!!!
Thank you for your honesty! This was a great chat and it's totally okay to be down sometimes, I think it's part of being human. Thank you for being amazing, and keep doin' you girl. 😊
Yay, you're making Vlogs again. I can relate to what your going through, I started taking a anti-depressant a month ago, it was a big help. I really liked your last travel vlog on Maui, looked really professional, especially with the added drone footage. Seeing more travel videos would be good, outside of where you live or where you just moved too.
Wow, this video was made a couple weeks before my ex-gf of 11 years left me (May 31, 2018). She never came home from work that day, but sent one of her co-workers to our home to simply say she wasn't coming back. Just so you know, love is incredible when you can find true love. Anyways, enough about me, I hope you keep making these inspirational videos! You really got me thinking about what I want in life now, thanks!
I’ve always struggled with mental health as a kid when I used to go to Primary and Secondary school, in Ireland, and now, after overcoming, all that, I’m in America, and in a Cadetship for the USAF, it required a hell of a lot of work, but I’m really happy that I ended up doing what hoped for as a 4 year old child!
Finally! Have miss my favourite vlog beauty 🙂 💖 lonliness it's both the best thing and a "sickness".. and you make me smile everyday even if I'm depressed.. Kristen you're fantastic! 🙂
After a long, regarding, and successful career in the military I have PTSD, TBI, and Severe Depression. I am working through and working with these diagnoses but it is a daily struggle. I have posted videos to cover my struggle and the steps I am going through, also. I would never wish these ailments and challenges on anyone ..... I hope these videos that creators are posting help. Thank you for your video.
thank you so much for your video. I needed this. I'm in a place right now where I feel it must get better soon because it just can't be that bad that long. And just started doing stuff that I wanted to do for a long time and I'm excited and scared at the same time and I seriously needed this. And also, could you please tell more about your opinion on that law of attraction that you mentioned in the beginning of the video? How do you see it? How does it work? Anyway, thank you for what you are and what you do. You are amazing!
Omg! I love you! I love you for sharing that! During the video, I thought I was watching and listening to GaryVee. I don't know if you follow or listen to GaryVee. You spoke so many truths in this video like live your truth, have macro patience, live for legacy, be kind, trust your instincts, trust you intuition, listen to yourself, stop caring about what other people think at the macro level, but deeply care about what people think or say at the micro level. Don't judge yourself based on short term numbers/outcomes. Love the journey. Love the grind. I try to execute all these things in my life. I think like everything it takes practice to have great mental and emotional health.
you were depressed whattt? 😮 well know at least you know who Kristen Michaela really is and we love you for that. Next to relate to what your saying I'm going to leave you with this "Go as far as you can see when you get there... you will see how to go farther" -Carlyle always supporting you can't wait to see you get to a million subs
Kristen, this video was beautiful! You are such an inspiration to soooo many people. I appreciate you and your amazing energy more than you will EVER know. You asked us to share some of the things we are passionate about right now so here is a tidbit about meeee. I am a newer streamer on Twitch. I have been working on building an amazing community and spreading truth and positivity to the world. To go along with that my husband is developing a game that our community can play while I am live on Twitch as well as offline features. It is a really interesting project that he has put a ton of time and effort into. I am so very proud of him and the outcome thus far has been amazing. People absolutely LOVE it! I am not entirely sure how much is too much sharing but if you are interested I would love to talk to you more about it.
I found you by random on twitch and it was the stream with Ahmed the norwegian kid :), That stream was one of the best things i’ve seen on twitch :), I also never donate or sub on twitch but when I heard his story I donated 10 dollar, money well spent.
I have so many ideas of things that I could create but I don't know how to start and I the financial barrier is also something that a young person like me that prevents me from doing anything
What is the point of life :3 ... Living on a rock in space. We are all gonna die in 60-80 years the next gen is gonna ask the same thing. So enjoy life do what you wanna do. Only person stopping from those things is just yourself.
Kristen if you want to do gaming and not worry about numbers. Invest your money in a good property and rent it out. So you know you have a stable source of income than keep doing what you love. I like you cause your soo grounded n real. Stay happy love to Yuri :).
I don't watch your other videos I just watch these videos. I don't play PC games (No time) so I don't watch your other videos. I never really saw the point in watching someone else play a video game. It's like watching golf.

I go through that same cycle of loneliness. I love these videos because you explain it the exact same way I would.

Kristen sounds like she’s beginning to wake....our consciousnesses are shifting...
Hey Kristen. Hope you are good! 😊
Yay! New vlog!
I have so many ideas of things that I could create but I don't know how to start and I the financial barrier is also something that a young person like me that prevents me from doing anything
