‘You get used to it’ is the truest thing about depression I’ve ever heard that I don’t here a lot of people talk about. You don’t realize how greatly your quality of life is affected until you see how far you sunk. I feel that
it is! i didn’t realize how awful i felt all the time until i started to feel better. i felt genuinely good and didn’t realize how depressed i had been until then
I've been used to thinking thoughts of ending everything every day and living with substance abuse for so long. It hurts to think how long it took for me to even consider doing something about it. It hurts.
Maybe it's because your alone Elsie. Well that's only possible if you live alone. If you do you can try to get someone to live with you or live with someone. When I'm alone l get depressed and sad. Even when I know my mom is right upstairs but I still feel sad and sometimes I even cry.
i thought so too since she's always making silly joke videos and such but i'm glad she took the time out of her day to make this because it could truly change someone's life and i mean that
Elise, you've been a huge inspiration to my young daughter. She struggles with anxiety but really identifies with you, both in your silly videos and the occasional serious content. Her Elise signature ukulele is one of her prized possessions and it's always nice knowing that we can watch your videos together. Thank you for being a great role model in strength, vulnerability, and honesty.
I cannot tell you how relieving it is to hear someone with depression saying they dont have a reason as to why. I’ve been struggling for a while, and I always hated myself for not being able to explain what’s wrong with me and just keeping it to myself. It’s just a toxic cycle of guilt and shame that made me think I didn’t deserve to live if I was just going to make me and everyone around me so miserable. Thank you so much for sharing your story, we’ll always be here for you
i’m so proud of you for speaking up about what’s been going on. i know it must not have been easy. i’ve also been struggling with depression for about five years now. seeing you speak up about your experience makes me extremely proud of you. i hope you find the happiness that you deserve and that life only goes well for you. you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations ever since i was ten. you’re the reason i bought my own ukulele and why i still continue to play it to this day (: thank you for making me laugh and making me smile all these years, honestly. we’re always here for you 💗
I'm also struggling with depression and your videos (from tøp covers to chaotic memes) helped me a lot. I love you and all your fans love you. Thanks for everything you do and stay strong in every way. God bless you Also, stay alive fren ||-//
You're so strong to talk about it and to get this off your chest. The fact that you put so much emphasis on being positive for us truly shows your character. But sometimes the heavy stuff is important. And I don't come online just to get a cheap laugh or smile, I come for the community, and the people. And people know life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. We each have our separate issues but as humans we can all understand the feeling of being lost or broken in some way. Having being diagnosed with severe social anxiety makes me feel guilty because the more I study myself, the more I don't understand why I get so anxious. But sometimes there are parts of us that we can't understand and they are completely out of our control. And that's just how it is. We have our battles, and simply keeping on means we are slowly winning them. And what each and every one of us can do for each other and the world even while we fight... I believe that's what determines a life worth living, don't you?
thank you so much. Yes, it's hard to accept that sometimes we won't understand why we are the way we are or why we're dealing with what we are, but there's so much peace in trusting God through it.
Haven’t watched the full video yet, but I just wanted too say we all love you Elsie, and we are always here for you. Thanks for making us laugh with every video. IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Thanks for being here! Even though we might not share the same beliefs, I'm very happy that you can appreciate others differences. Thank you and I hope you have a great day!
This video brought me to tears. I've never been diagnosed but I feel like I go through very subtle 'dark days' that slowly take a toll on my mental health. You're doing great Elise, we all love you but most importantly God loves you.
Thanks for being here, and for your vulnerability, Elise. Walked a similar path, and as a Christian counselor today, it was encouraging to hear your account. Be well :)
We are all here for you Elise. I have been struggling a lot recently too even though you are an adult and I am only 13. It started with my physical help crashing and me getting really sick and then my mental help fell too. I have lost all but one of my friends at this point and currently homeschooling due to being diagnosed with many things. Rumors are being spread about me at school and you are so right that mental and physical heath play off of each other. Everyone has there own experiences and no one can truly understand what one has gone through, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I don’t want to act like I understand what’s going on with you because our situations are very different but there are pieces that we can understand about each other. In school I always isolate myself from others as a defence. I am afraid to let my guard down a lot of the time cause I don’t want to get hurt again after my best friend being so hurtful. You’ll get through this and so will I! I am also a musician, i Play Guitar, Piano, and drums! I am in two rock Bands and just played my first 3 shows. You are truly talented and I hope you read this!!!! Love you!❤❤❤
Hi! I know I’m not Elise, but I want you to know that I will be praying for you and that I hope you make some more friends and that love and support you! ❤ I hope you have an amazing day!❤

I do miss the longer videos but I instantly click any video you make. Thank you for bringing my friends and I so much joy for the past couple years. i actually cried hearing this from you. God bless you, and we're with you, Elise ❤ #staystrongelise
I really needed to hear this. A few days ago I started dealing with depression and it's already been so difficult. Your messages feel so comforting. You are such a strong person Elise ❤
I'm sorry to hear that you are going through depression. Stay strong and lean into those who care about you. It's never easy, but I will be praying for you
I will be praying for you my homieeee 💗💗 As a fellow Christian who is very blessed, I am constantly feeling anxiety and lack of motivation to do everyday things and all these other things but feel as though I don't have any reason and shouldn't feel this way and that I'm selfish and ungrateful so it brings me a lot of comfort to find someone who feels the same way!!
I just hope you realize more and more how you’ve helped US in our own depression and sadness and darkness, especially since 2020 when the world totally flipped for us all, and for many it could have been earlier; or the difficulty may have never stopped Your humor, your inside jokes, and now your transparency and courage to share this… You help so many people by laughing and now you’ll help even more by showing us all that we aren’t alone.

I completely support. I also have anxiety and panic attacks, so I can relate. Take a break if you would like, but I love that you will keep posting. We love you so much. No pressure ❤ Edit: I am a fellow Christian and I am so glad you feel comfortable talking about God :)
Omg I almost started crying what you were talking about your faith because it’s hard to find Christians on social media and the ones that are don’t talk about it. Thank you so much.
This is what makes me glad to be Muslim, those who are tend to be far more open about their faith online. Inshallah all people of the book will see the gates of heaven and be guided to the path towards Allah.
There is only one way to get to heaven, you must put your complete trust in Jesus Christ as your savior. Romans 10: 9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
I’ve been dealing with a lot of mental health issues for the past few years too and I wish the best for anybody going through something similar :) thanks for talking about it elise, and for all your videos that make people smile
Thank you! As someone who also suffers from depression your video has really helped a lot and I’d just like to say that we will always be here for you!
For years your videos have helped me cope with so much, just know there are millions of us who love and support you I think I found your channel about 4-6 years ago (whenever you posted the tear in my heart tutorial) and since then any time I see your videos it just brightens up my day
24 and struggling for the past 10 years. What keeps me going is the hope that one day things will get better and that I will be able to look back at everything and feel proud that I did it. Elise, you are an inspiration to me. Knowing that you are still fighting this battle makes me want to fight harder. You can do this. I can do this. We can do this.
Dude your one minute videos have literally saved my life before. I’m not joking - I’ve sat pondering whether life is worth living, scrolling mindlessly, and then your joke or synth meme sound snaps me out of it. What you do really matters :) Stay strong, put yourself first, and never give up!!
@@Blake-ub4ts The fact that you’ve gone out of your way to spread negativity on this channel is so bizarre to me. It’s young generation dumb humor, nothing more than that. It brings us hope, and while it’s not for everyone, no one deserves to be put down - for making it, or for consuming it. If you really can’t “understand how this is for anyone,” then go do something you enjoy! Don’t come and devalue my compliment to a TH-camr who’s just doing what they love >:|
Girl, who could have thought you went through this? It is really amazing that you make such fun content while going through such phases of life. My friend has had such depression for almost 3 years and she had such a hard time like you did, now she is gonna be so motivated after watching this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Gratitude has helped me so much with my own mental health. Even being grateful for the simplest things like being grateful for beautiful weather. Affirmations help too. Thank you for sharing your story 💚
We're all here for you Elise, we all get those times where we feel like giving up and we're all so thankful for the times we've pushed through, even though it's hard. Hope feel better soon!❤️
I subscribed to you awhile ago because your quirky humor reminded me of myself. I struggle with horrible depression and other mental illnesses. It really sometimes is the “funniest” people who are feeling the most emotional pain. So many comedians can relate. I don’t share the same faith but I will definitely say that your courage in sharing this is a blessing to many, many people. You are not alone! Let’s keep going ❤️❤️
It's hard to believe that she has been dealing with depression all these years. She's normally so lighthearted and happy in her videos. That is hard to do and is amazing you were able to do it.
Those of us who suffer from depression, often learn to put on a happy face. To act as we are OK. Sometimes that's because we think if I act ok I will be ok. But most often it is because we feel guilty for our depression.
I was dealing with depression and anxiety, in feeling have no one that anyone was there and believing that anything I say doesn't matter. So i talk to god about, how I thought no one care. But i realize, god care my parents cares. And i looked at my life and say," i probably dont deserve all these wonderful things, but yet he gives them to me." Now i realize that i never opened my eye to see i what i had, and that i was selfish. And seeing Elise and talk about all and giving god all of the credit just fulls my heart. Love your content. May god be with for forever and more.😊
So true! I got through the darkest points of my depression solely because of my faith. I don't even want to imagine where I would be now if I were a non-believer. It is so freeing to know that you can give all your burdens to Jesus, that no matter what, he is always with you. I saw myself so much in what you were describing and it's really reassuring to know that other people are going through what I'm going through. Thank you so much for sharing♥
I've never been a believer in most religions, but its so nice and comforting to see someone gather strength and determination through their beliefs. IMO that's what religion really should be about. Stay strong Elise, I am sure your God is supporting you and you will get better and better
He’s not far! He’s waiting on you. All it takes is to pray for him to reveal himself. 10 seconds could change eternity. I’ve been healed of incurable diseases.
Thank you for sharing this with us! We're all here for you, and I know I'm not alone when I say that your videos ALWAYS make my day that much better! 🙂
I’m glad that Elise has a great sister to help her ((: (also if you are dealing with anything that you haven’t said Eden, I hope you feel better and just think about how great your viewers are)
You're fab Elise, your journey is your journey. We all have a path to take and sometimes that's difficult and your share is going to be comforting for a lot of people. You might not realise how much joy you bring to people but you definitely do that! Thank you for posting this and take care of YOU.
Oh Sweet Sister, Thank you for opening up. You are such an inspiration. God is definitely doing a work in you and through you. I am a new fan who has been getting so much joy from your music and your videos. I am a pastor who deals with anxiety, OCD, and what I would describe as mild depression. God's grace is sufficient for us. I know you know that. You rock, Elise! Keep walking with the King! You are truly His Princess! I love you... God loves you!!! ❤
Appreciate this so much! From a fellow depression-sufferer, I know how it feels sometimes, but keep hanging in there. Prayer helps and so does spending time with people you love ❤
Just so you know, depression isn't caused by an event specifically as true depression does come out of nowhere and is due to a lack of specific chemicals in your brain don't worry about feeling like nothing has happened to make you deserve depression as it does come at random. We are with you and hope you make a speedy recover
I wouldn't say depression just »comes out of nowhere«, everything has it's cause.. and it isn't purely biological either, we don't experience depression just because specific chemicals are lacking - what made them be lacking in the first place? :/
@@mirac8803 Yeah I'm sure it's different with everyone, just wanted to be reassuring since she has a concern about how nothing happened for her to feel that way.
Cis Chinese Guy here, Back at the school I worked at I wanted to Cook my Secret Chinese Pork with Secret Fried Rice dating back to the Ding Dong Dynasty but school staff and PTA said it wasn't Kosher So during Taco Tuesday I would Jizz in the sour cream called it " Jizzam" my co-worker said I should of named it cumshot that will teach the round eyes to deny my culture!
@@mirac8803 Some people can have depression because of the lack of dopamine, you could have everything you wanted and still not be happy. You don't need a cause to be depressed but in most cases there is a cause.
@@Name-bk3jv The lack of dopamine can have different causes, which is what I mean - you don't just get it »out of nowhere« Depression can also occur because of childhood neglect for example. It is tough to identify, because in this case, the depression was not caused by something terrible that happened - it was caused by what did NOT happen. For example, if parents were too dysregulated themselves to bond emotionally with the child, no genuine compliments or other expressions of affection, not giving the child the feeling that it is supported without it feeling bad (many parents only build an emotional and supportive relationship with their child when they feel down, when they are okay it's like they don't really matter anymore)
Hey Elise, I've been following you for years now and I just wanted to say you have been making my days better since I first clicked on one of your videos. I struggle with anxiety and depression as well and all I can say is don't give up. You are such a bright light in people's lives and you will be compensated for it soon. I love you and your videos and I'm so happy I got to discover your channel. Love you. (Note: Sorry if I spelled or said something wrong, English is not my first language)
Your videos always bring a smile to my face when I'm feeling down. This video came at the perfect time as I am also struggling with my mental health. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, and encouragement to open up about mental health. You can get through this!
As a christian who aspires to make music who has gone through a difficult time in my life where nothing but God could have gotten me out of this video really speaks to me. We are all here for you Elise, thank you for being a light in the world.
I am a recent subscriber and a Christian, I have seen a couple of your memes and such and then was like “oh she funny” and subscribed. Then after watching a bunch of your videos I saw how unashamed you are in what you believe and how respectful and sincere you are when you talk about it. Stay strong. We need more people like you.
I haven’t watched the whole video but Gurl you will go through this. I know what all of… „this“ is so hard and giving up sounds like such an easy option but you can’t give up now. I am convinced that you will heal
Thank you so much Elise! I also have struggles in my life that are somewhat similar. I needed that a lot (especially tonight.) God bless you sister! The LORD is near to those who are broken hearted, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18💖

I get depressed sometimes and sometimes it’s really bad but I usually just think of my family and everything I have! (It really makes me feel better! Take care Elise
I'll be praying for you! Thank you for sharing this, I know that it must be very difficult for you to say all these things, but I hope that making this video helps you with your problems and with your mental state. We all wish you the best Elsie! Have a great week 👍🏻
elise, i (and everyone else) want you to know that we all love & care about you. we support you in everyway and i personally think you're a great person inside and out. depression can have a huge impact and it might take a while to get it off your chest. if you need to take a break, that's fine. we all love you :) any negative comments you think about yourself just remember you have a family including a husband which is amazing & 2.75M people here for you. I WE LOVE U ELISEEEE!
Thank you so much for this I've been going through some tough stuff with depression and I can not express how much I am proud of you and us all that go through this as well ❤ just keep going all of you we love you and each other have a good day 🫂❤
Hi! This is very cool you made this sincere announcement. I wish you all the best Elise. One of the things came to my mind watching this video is that often creative and wonderful people like you struggling with mental health. This is kind of two sides of the same coin. One who is very depressed also has more capacity for a great joy. I wish you to never leave this bright side of your soul and be brave exploring the dark one.
Thank you so much for making this video, I struggle with mental health too and your words felt like a warm hug from a loved one. I'm glad you are still here on this world making so much people feel joy with your content. I'm exited to see your future videos, I hope in God you keep on getting better and better.
It takes incredible courage to publicly come out with this, your faith is inspiring and many prayers are being said for you and all others who share a similar struggle
Elise I love you so much, and I've gone through a lot of SI and depression, and you make me laugh with your content. Thank you for being someone I can relate to!!
I know that it's hard to open up about something like this as I have had struggles with my mental health before also. You are an awesome person, and I will be keeping you in my prayers. 🙏 Thank you for always making me laugh and for being such a positive influence. Keep on being an awesome Christian! ❤

I completely support. I also have anxiety and panic attacks, so I can relate. Take a break if you would like, but I love that you will keep posting. We love you so much. No pressure ❤
Edit: I am a fellow Christian and I am so glad you feel comfortable talking about God :)
im athiest
Im Jewish and God is a big part of my life and mental health journey.
@fisherman you dont have to announce it show a little respect
I have anxiety too it’s hard
@@wahoo. my friend is, too :)
Omg I almost started crying what you were talking about your faith because it’s hard to find Christians on social media and the ones that are don’t talk about it. Thank you so much.
This is what makes me glad to be Muslim, those who are tend to be far more open about their faith online. Inshallah all people of the book will see the gates of heaven and be guided to the path towards Allah.
@Batt Man In case you didn't know, Christians are the most persecuted. No "religion" is better than the other.
@@battman505 Amen 🙏
There is only one way to get to heaven, you must put your complete trust in Jesus Christ as your savior.
Romans 10: 9-10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Every Christian online I see is just blatantly or subliminally trying to just destroy the gays or whatever lol
Such an amazing, open and honest testimony. I am sure your words will help many. Keep the faith and God bless you!
thank you. i feel so much relief and peace finally talking about it
Dont give up! I know how tough it is. We all Love you!!
I’ve been dealing with a lot of mental health issues for the past few years too and I wish the best for anybody going through something similar :)
thanks for talking about it elise, and for all your videos that make people smile
Thank you! As someone who also suffers from depression your video has really helped a lot and I’d just like to say that we will always be here for you!
For years your videos have helped me cope with so much, just know there are millions of us who love and support you
I think I found your channel about 4-6 years ago (whenever you posted the tear in my heart tutorial) and since then any time I see your videos it just brightens up my day
thank you for your comment. this means a lot to me
The way you brought everything back to your faith was so encouraging. It makes me want to be a better Christian :)
Elise, please don’t leave this world. Cause then I’ll have to deal with living hell alone!
Praise God for you Ma'am! To Him be all the glory indeed and just know this whole community of believers got yooouuu 🙏🏼
24 and struggling for the past 10 years. What keeps me going is the hope that one day things will get better and that I will be able to look back at everything and feel proud that I did it.
Elise, you are an inspiration to me. Knowing that you are still fighting this battle makes me want to fight harder. You can do this. I can do this. We can do this.
Keep on fighting! You've got a bright future ahead of you!
Amen. 🙏🏻💯
Love you!! I hope you feel better soon ❤❤
Dude your one minute videos have literally saved my life before. I’m not joking - I’ve sat pondering whether life is worth living, scrolling mindlessly, and then your joke or synth meme sound snaps me out of it.
What you do really matters :)
Stay strong, put yourself first, and never give up!!
No.
@@Blake-ub4ts The fact that you’ve gone out of your way to spread negativity on this channel is so bizarre to me. It’s young generation dumb humor, nothing more than that. It brings us hope, and while it’s not for everyone, no one deserves to be put down - for making it, or for consuming it. If you really can’t “understand how this is for anyone,” then go do something you enjoy! Don’t come and devalue my compliment to a TH-camr who’s just doing what they love >:|
Girl, who could have thought you went through this? It is really amazing that you make such fun content while going through such phases of life. My friend has had such depression for almost 3 years and she had such a hard time like you did, now she is gonna be so motivated after watching this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Gratitude has helped me so much with my own mental health. Even being grateful for the simplest things like being grateful for beautiful weather. Affirmations help too. Thank you for sharing your story 💚
It's okay Elise we love you and you can get through this, just wrapped up my nightly prayer but I'll pray for you again after I finish this video.
We're all here for you Elise, we all get those times where we feel like giving up and we're all so thankful for the times we've pushed through, even though it's hard.
Hope feel better soon!❤️
I subscribed to you awhile ago because your quirky humor reminded me of myself. I struggle with horrible depression and other mental illnesses.
It really sometimes is the “funniest” people who are feeling the most emotional pain. So many comedians can relate.
I don’t share the same faith but I will definitely say that your courage in sharing this is a blessing to many, many people.
You are not alone! Let’s keep going ❤️❤️
It's hard to believe that she has been dealing with depression all these years. She's normally so lighthearted and happy in her videos. That is hard to do and is amazing you were able to do it.
Those of us who suffer from depression, often learn to put on a happy face. To act as we are OK. Sometimes that's because we think if I act ok I will be ok. But most often it is because we feel guilty for our depression.
I was dealing with depression and anxiety, in feeling have no one that anyone was there and believing that anything I say doesn't matter. So i talk to god about, how I thought no one care. But i realize, god care my parents cares. And i looked at my life and say," i probably dont deserve all these wonderful things, but yet he gives them to me." Now i realize that i never opened my eye to see i what i had, and that i was selfish. And seeing Elise and talk about all and giving god all of the credit just fulls my heart. Love your content. May god be with for forever and more.😊
So true! I got through the darkest points of my depression solely because of my faith. I don't even want to imagine where I would be now if I were a non-believer. It is so freeing to know that you can give all your burdens to Jesus, that no matter what, he is always with you.
I saw myself so much in what you were describing and it's really reassuring to know that other people are going through what I'm going through. Thank you so much for sharing♥
I'm so proud of you for being so so strong! We're all here for you and we'll always support no matter what! We love you!! ❤️❤️❤️
You have a beautiful testimony, I'm so glad you openly share how God has worked in your life ❤
Will be lifting you in prayer. 🙏🙏🙏 I am thankful you shared this with us. You are a bright spot in my life, so thank you!
I've never been a believer in most religions, but its so nice and comforting to see someone gather strength and determination through their beliefs. IMO that's what religion really should be about.
Stay strong Elise, I am sure your God is supporting you and you will get better and better
He’s not far! He’s waiting on you. All it takes is to pray for him to reveal himself. 10 seconds could change eternity. I’ve been healed of incurable diseases.
@@morejoshmillerAMEN
I am so sorry you have to go through this, I really hope things get better ^^
Gurl you literally almost made me cry. I’m here for you and you can get through this
#staystrongelise
Who else wants the best for the best yter?
Yes!
#staystrongelise
Hope she can get through the tough times. ❤️ #staystrongelise
#strangelyelise
Elise, girl, we are *all* here for you! We love you! ❤❤❤❤❤
Im sure you can get through this!
Thank you for all of your support. A lot of us need this and hearing your ways of improving really help us.
thank you so much for all the videos over the years, we will be here no matter what
Thank you for your intent, in trying to spread the message and hope to others. Very meaningful.
omg, the support and love and kindness here is like the power of the sun, radiating love, nothing can stop us!
Thank you for opening up about this. I've been going through a lot lately and I really needed this video. Much love and I'm happy we're still here
Thank you for sharing this with us! We're all here for you, and I know I'm not alone when I say that your videos ALWAYS make my day that much better!
🙂
Love you❤
I’m glad that Elise has a great sister to help her ((: (also if you are dealing with anything that you haven’t said Eden, I hope you feel better and just think about how great your viewers are)
@@CloudyClaudia I agree, I’m so glad that Elise has an amazing sister like Eden :)
You're fab Elise, your journey is your journey. We all have a path to take and sometimes that's difficult and your share is going to be comforting for a lot of people. You might not realise how much joy you bring to people but you definitely do that!
Thank you for posting this and take care of YOU.
Oh Sweet Sister, Thank you for opening up. You are such an inspiration. God is definitely doing a work in you and through you. I am a new fan who has been getting so much joy from your music and your videos. I am a pastor who deals with anxiety, OCD, and what I would describe as mild depression. God's grace is sufficient for us. I know you know that. You rock, Elise! Keep walking with the King! You are truly His Princess! I love you... God loves you!!! ❤
Appreciate this so much! From a fellow depression-sufferer, I know how it feels sometimes, but keep hanging in there. Prayer helps and so does spending time with people you love ❤
Just so you know, depression isn't caused by an event specifically as true depression does come out of nowhere and is due to a lack of specific chemicals in your brain don't worry about feeling like nothing has happened to make you deserve depression as it does come at random. We are with you and hope you make a speedy recover
I wouldn't say depression just »comes out of nowhere«, everything has it's cause.. and it isn't purely biological either, we don't experience depression just because specific chemicals are lacking - what made them be lacking in the first place? :/
@@mirac8803 Yeah I'm sure it's different with everyone, just wanted to be reassuring since she has a concern about how nothing happened for her to feel that way.
Cis Chinese Guy here, Back at the school I worked at I wanted to Cook my Secret Chinese Pork with Secret Fried Rice dating back to the Ding Dong Dynasty but school staff and PTA said it wasn't Kosher So during Taco Tuesday I would Jizz in the sour cream called it " Jizzam" my co-worker said I should of named it cumshot that will teach the round eyes to deny my culture!
@@mirac8803 Some people can have depression because of the lack of dopamine, you could have everything you wanted and still not be happy. You don't need a cause to be depressed but in most cases there is a cause.
@@Name-bk3jv The lack of dopamine can have different causes, which is what I mean - you don't just get it »out of nowhere«
Depression can also occur because of childhood neglect for example. It is tough to identify, because in this case, the depression was not caused by something terrible that happened - it was caused by what did NOT happen.
For example, if parents were too dysregulated themselves to bond emotionally with the child, no genuine compliments or other expressions of affection, not giving the child the feeling that it is supported without it feeling bad (many parents only build an emotional and supportive relationship with their child when they feel down, when they are okay it's like they don't really matter anymore)
we love you elise! we are all here for you
Hey Elise, I've been following you for years now and I just wanted to say you have been making my days better since I first clicked on one of your videos. I struggle with anxiety and depression as well and all I can say is don't give up. You are such a bright light in people's lives and you will be compensated for it soon. I love you and your videos and I'm so happy I got to discover your channel. Love you. (Note: Sorry if I spelled or said something wrong, English is not my first language)
Your videos always bring a smile to my face when I'm feeling down. This video came at the perfect time as I am also struggling with my mental health. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, and encouragement to open up about mental health. You can get through this!
You get my respect for being open about your personal life. We're all here for you and we love you.
As a christian who aspires to make music who has gone through a difficult time in my life where nothing but God could have gotten me out of this video really speaks to me. We are all here for you Elise, thank you for being a light in the world.
Its so sad to see you like this 💔 you are so powerful to make it here and we love you!
You are so powerful! Depression doesn’t control you and won’t stop you!
Don’t worry Elise,we’ll be here for you❤❤❤
It takes so much strength to share your struggles and continue to try.
This is a beautiful testimony of God. I love seeing that in our society now. Love you!
I am a recent subscriber and a Christian, I have seen a couple of your memes and such and then was like “oh she funny” and subscribed. Then after watching a bunch of your videos I saw how unashamed you are in what you believe and how respectful and sincere you are when you talk about it. Stay strong. We need more people like you.
I haven’t watched the whole video but
Gurl you will go through this.
I know what all of… „this“ is so hard and giving up sounds like such an easy option but you can’t give up now.
I am convinced that you will heal
I'm grateful I don't struggle with depression. But you are inspiring me and making my life better too. Your reach is broader than you know.
Thank you so much Elise! I also have struggles in my life that are somewhat similar. I needed that a lot (especially tonight.) God bless you sister!
The LORD is near to those who are broken hearted, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Psalm 34:18💖
I think that you are one of the most creative and talented content creators on TH-cam with an incredible amount of followers of almost 3 millions. We follow you because we love you and the work that you put out!! Not to mention an impressive resume with college degree, music talent, homeowner, a wicked sense of humor, a lovely wife and a survivor for such a young age. We are rooting for you and thank you for sharing your story. I hope that you will continue to be the heroine of your own story and live with courage. ❤
thank you so much. i appreciate your kind words
I get depressed sometimes and sometimes it’s really bad but I usually just think of my family and everything I have! (It really makes me feel better! Take care Elise
That is not depression. Depression isn't alleviated by logical reasoning.
@@NyxesRealms well of course it last awhile but family makes me feel better
He is using a coping mechanism. Which tbh is partially how you get through depression. Don't judge, everyone goes through it differently.
@@NyxesRealms It’s an escape. People use escapism to deal with it all time. Sometimes the only way to stay alive is with escapism.
It's Okay, we will always be here for you❤❤
I'll be praying for you! Thank you for sharing this, I know that it must be very difficult for you to say all these things, but I hope that making this video helps you with your problems and with your mental state. We all wish you the best Elsie! Have a great week 👍🏻
Your such an inspiration!!!! and if you ever want to make a heavy video like this again I’m totally here for it! ❤❤❤
elise, i (and everyone else) want you to know that we all love & care about you. we support you in everyway and i personally think you're a great person inside and out. depression can have a huge impact and it might take a while to get it off your chest. if you need to take a break, that's fine. we all love you :) any negative comments you think about yourself just remember you have a family including a husband which is amazing & 2.75M people here for you. I WE LOVE U ELISEEEE!
thank you
Thank you so much for this I've been going through some tough stuff with depression and I can not express how much I am proud of you and us all that go through this as well ❤ just keep going all of you we love you and each other have a good day 🫂❤
we all love you and we are so happy that you are here. u deserve so much more❤❤
Hi! This is very cool you made this sincere announcement. I wish you all the best Elise. One of the things came to my mind watching this video is that often creative and wonderful people like you struggling with mental health. This is kind of two sides of the same coin. One who is very depressed also has more capacity for a great joy. I wish you to never leave this bright side of your soul and be brave exploring the dark one.
I know it's a year later, but I just watched this for the first time and I'm glad I did. I've been struggling with this all week.
We thank you for your presence throughout all lighthearted and dark times, Elise
Thank you so much for making this video, I struggle with mental health too and your words felt like a warm hug from a loved one. I'm glad you are still here on this world making so much people feel joy with your content. I'm exited to see your future videos, I hope in God you keep on getting better and better.
don’t worry girly. We love u so much!
It takes incredible courage to publicly come out with this, your faith is inspiring and many prayers are being said for you and all others who share a similar struggle
That is one of the best motivational talks I’ve heard.
Elise I love you so much, and I've gone through a lot of SI and depression, and you make me laugh with your content. Thank you for being someone I can relate to!!
You're beautiful, people out there would care about you, always take care of yourself and heal. Remember God loves you, I love you 😘💕🫶
I know that it's hard to open up about something like this as I have had struggles with my mental health before also. You are an awesome person, and I will be keeping you in my prayers. 🙏
Thank you for always making me laugh and for being such a positive influence. Keep on being an awesome Christian! ❤
