I completely agree to that statement... Dr Tracey I'm so grateful for yr videos.. seriously they are really helpful... OMG the video you did on Pumpkin seeds Magnesium has really positively helped. Thank u
@@jemiahjackson2508 Sorry if you thought that I was accusing you of anything far from it. I grew up in a depressed inner city neighborhood and sometimes or a lot of times if a person does something to better themselves or start breaking away from one’s group, the group can start saying negative things. I watched an E channel story on Mary J. Blige where she described that very thing. Also, it’s hard to break away from the familiar or it seems hard for some and sometimes you don’t notice stuff around you until you step away from it.
I'm an introvert, yet I realized one of my values was to raise awareness about kindness and advocacy. I started a podcast in 2018, and even though it is exhilarating AND scary, I continue to publish episodes because I feel it makes a difference. Thank you from Orlando!
@@DrTraceyMarksHI Dr. Marks, thanks for all of your videos! I'm concerned because your throat looks swollen. Are you ok? I have Hypothyroidism and my Endocrinologist keeps a close check on it. I'm sure that you are already aware that African American women are at a higher rate of suffering from Thyroid issues! We really appreciate you and we want you to take care of yourself to! ❤
One of the most valuable, if not the most valuable videos on TH-cam that I have ever seen. Thank you very kindly Dr. Marks for making this video, I appreciate it.
Forget the “haters”! You’re an attractive, intelligent and interesting woman who has helped me in my life, but giving explanations on certain topics. Thank you Dr. Marks!
What haters? Where? *why* would anyone say or think differently?... (attractive, intelligent, interesting woman - helping others) oh there are always small minded people, intimidated by strong, intelligent, capable women - and I say that as a 'white' woman - strong, intelligent, capable - AND attractive - *and* black... I'm here for the *CONTENT* - which I always find interesting, informative & engaging - even when it's not directly relevant to me - not the comments of people whose opinion I dont respect (anyone posting hate or disrespect)
Dr. Tracey I just wanted to say that you have helped me so much with understanding my mental health and my parent's mental health. whenever I feel lost or caught up in my thoughts, I come to here to watch your educational videos. You have such a beautiful soul and it shows through the screen. You always calm me down when I'm having an anxiety attack. Your morals are nothing less than that of a virtue. We need more people like you in this world! ♥️
I agree with you 100% Icy storm, Dr.Marks gives intelligent sound advice. Her patience and calmness is very soothing to someone who suffers from anxiety and panic disorder.👩✌💞
I agree too! Every video I have watched has been helpful to me in some way. I recommend this channel to a lot of people because Dr Marks helps us understand ourselves better, and she always explains things clearly so we can understand her message. This video is a prime example of Dr Marks helping us to know ourselves better and to live our lives spending time on meaningful activities. As a person with mental health problems,I find that Dr Marks can explain things to me that my psychiatrist either can’t or won’t. Dr Marks, you are a treasure and a gift to the world!
@@DrTraceyMarks ,I Love and agree 100%,with how Icy Storm expressed thoughts to your recommendations! Very true insight. TY so much Dr. Tracey Marks.😊😃
I am SOOOOOOO Grateful that you did not give up and let others' comments scare you away Tracey. We would have missed out on one of the best, insightful, and all around deeply helpful people. I appreciate the way you go in and break down things and how you present them. Your videos are easy to understand, relate to, and digest. Thank you for being you.
I really appreciate how much time and dedication you put into these videos, I know from experience it's not easy and for that I'm very thankful. You're videos are really useful to me.
I am so displeased to hear about your negative experiences getting started on TH-cam. What you are offering here is tremendous, and no doubt the result of a great deal of hard work. Thank you for doing what you do.
I feel like I’ve struck gold having found your channel. I’m a tough critic when it comes to advice givers in the media world and I refer your videos to family and friends all the time. Your channel is one of the best. You have helped me gain insights into myself, especially since I’ve recently discontinued a ten-year regimen of antidepressants to manage my anxiety and depression. You talk to us like a good friend. Honest, comforting and practical. Thank you for your dedication to helping your fellow humans.
Dr. Marks, you look amazing in all your videos. I'm a 55 year old woman & I truly admire how you keep yourself. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your educational videos. Don't pay any attention to anyone that says different. Their just jealous. Hugs, Samantha

Dr. Marks, I can say for myself, I have learned SO much from you. There are no words to express my gratitude for the time and care you dedicate to us. People like you, knowledgeable, engaged and unbiased, are the examples we should all follow. This is one of the most important videos you have ever created. No matter where you are in your life, stop and take a breather, reevaluate your wants and needs, and focus on values, is super necessary. Thank you for your continuous touchdowns 😊
I'm so glad you decided to "grow a thicker skin". Your videos have been an amazing tool for me on my journey to wellness. Thank you for putting up with the trolls to help people like me. ❤️
Whoa! What did I miss here?! People were actually being rude to her?!💔 I have followed her for a long time on here and Instagram and she is Amazing! 🙌😊 She hits the nail on the head so to speak when it comes to all of these topics. I have yet to listen to someone as Great as her @Dr. Marks❤
I can’t believe someone will hate on this angel , yes dr. Marks is an angel to me and for everyone , and physically I think she’s beautiful, I mean are these haters blind ? 🤦🏻♀️
Hey doc. I'm currently in a rough patch as a 25 y/o and I took this year to be introspective and better my self so I can achieve my goals. Stumbled across your vids while reading a few books related to psych and you've been insanely helpful in a short amount of time. Keep doing because now probably you can reach a lot of more people than your colleagues. Gracias from PR. 👍🏼
Thank you. I’m lacking health coverage atm and even when I am covered finding a counselor or therapist that is actually beneficial hasn’t happened. And while clicking around on TH-cam as I escape from my circumstances of having to move home post break up you come in sharing you practical and pragmatic learnings! Many of these videos are like a prescribed manual for how to start a better next chapter in my life. Thank you Doctor and thank you algorithms.
Sadly, so many Americans just don’t value the most important aspects of being a human being. Thanks for NAILING IT as you always do! God knows, many in your world have the knowledge but unfortunately they don’t know how to connect the dots or lay it out to others. You are a genuine angel 😇
I wish someone would have asked me these questions when I was younger. At least I can share this with my preteen so she’s not just floundering in the world for decades like I did. Thank you for pushing through the brutal beginning and sharing your knowledge!
You are amazing. Smart, kind, authentic, compassionate. I found your videos a month ago. So helpful. You have changed my life and helped me learn about myself, and what I want and need from others. I recently ended an unhealthy relationship and feel assured and empowered in my journey forward. You are a gem. Thank you!
I feel so much relief watching your videos that I'm tearing up for no reason. I am so grateful that you've taken the time and effort to help people help themselves. Thank you.
This is right on time. I just starting writing and publicly sharing my work again because I decided not to care about the haters! So glad that you do what you do. Let your light shine, Dr. Marks.
Wow, Thank God you continued, you’ve said a lot that I’ve needed to hear. And you know THEY wanna see our downfall and are intimidated by our beauty, strength and knowledge, don’t mind THEM. ✊🏾
Thank you soooo much for continuing to make these videos! I can't believe people can be so rude and hateful, it makes me wanna cry...! Recently I've been thinking more and more that maybe I don't actually want or need to be married, but this video on values has me thinking about the fact that quality time with people I care about is very high up on my list. And after my Mother passed last year I really only have my younger brother and my father with whom I've never really had a strong relationship who sort of gave up on my brother and I for his new wife and her son. I don't have a lot going for myself and now that my brother is married and working, we don't spend a lot of time together anymore even though I live with him. So I feel like the best thing I could do is go back to school, pick music back up as a hobby, keep myself busy and maybe eventually find someone to start a family or even just a life with. Thanks again Dr. Marks, I really appreciate the content!
This is one of the most important things I’ve learnt about self improvement. I’m doing many thing without knowing why or if I actually want to do them. I am exited to see what will appear as important for me when I do this exercise! I’m happy for you that you’ve found your path, you are my role model, thank you!
Dr. Marks, I am so grateful, that you are here, and sharing yourself, with us. You are my go to source, if I have a mental health question. Then once I have a grasp on what I feel it is, I can better handle it, with my therapist. It cuts down time, and helps me explain my needs, and goals more effectively. You are kind, gentle, accomplished, and very effective at explaining things in ways that helpful. So glad you decided to come back, and be of service. Blessings 🕊 ❤️ 🕯 😇 🙏 💚
That closing story was fantastic. Get it, girl. These videos are wonderful, and I've always felt like it's vital to make a positive impact in the lives of others and your community because that will be your afterlife. A knowable legacy in the connections made
Dr. Marks, you are a gift to the world. You are literally helping to evolve human consciousness, one viewer at a time. Thank Goddess you didn't give up in 2008, and you followed your heart!
Thank you so much for posting these, I really appreciate it 🧸🥺 I don't think I can see a therapist rn but hearing you speak on things I worried about or thought I should be concerned about, it's really comforting and makes me want to be healthy for the people I care about, my future and myself, questions like these are better than filling out a sheet of goals when I couldn't think of any/felt like I didn't deserve a future Thank you for pushing through the past negative comments for the community and I, we appreciate you and your work 🧸🌺
@@DrTraceyMarks I'm always afraid to comment on appearances, especially as a white person commenting on POC's hairstyles. But I'm absolutely thrilled seeing you with natural hairstyles. Every time I think, YES SEE, you can be professional and have natural hair. I hope many more POC youtubers and celebs keep this trend going. I hope this doesn't come across as virtue signaling or condescending or anything. I just want to show support.
I have watched many of your videos, over the past few months. I have been stuck in a process of grief, following my husband’s death, and your videos, have helped me in many ways. This is my favorite, you are sharing you, and that is so very special. Thank you, for all you do, and being your authentic self. Blessings 🕊💕🕯😇🙏🏻💚
I'm sad to hear that people were and/or are mean to you. Your videos are extremely helpful and well done and I'm very glad you make them. Of all the therapists/mental health advocates here on youtube, I think you make the most professional/concise, factually correct and understandable content. I really appreciate your work, please never stop making videos!
Same, and I feel bad about it 😔 Relationships, social life, work, etc. - all those domains just create more hurdles for you to jump over, and I hate exercise. I want life to be easy, but easy is difficult. And I know this kind of thinking goes against the broader society values, so it makes me feel like I’m a shit failure of a person.
get therapy if you can, and learn about dissorders with simptoms you relate to, even if it dosen't match your diagnosis, it's gonna help you because of the similarities 🙂
@Kristopher L. Berry It won't. I'm 27 years old. Feeling like shit since 14. Like she said in the video: Time is a limited resource. Unless you have a 100% certain way for me to get better, I rather not try anything. I will just take my meds and sleep as much as I can. And when the pandemic ends, I'll go back to the whorehouse too. This is my 'therapy'.
I love this Dr. Marks! I am going through something similar right now and struggling with navigating and borderline obsessing over the negativity I receive as I grow my platform and influence !! I am going to do this exercise for SURE!!! Thank you!
Dr. Marks I am so glad you didn't give up! I love your videos. Some of them help me to understand myself and work towards enhanced personal growth, while others help me to understand the patients I take care of as a nurse. Thank you for all you have done to help others understand themselves and understand others. Much love!
Love this! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences. It takes courage to disregard the unwarranted negativity and accept that you decide how to live your authentic life. ❤ You've shared so much, taught many of us so very much, and have a great and farther reach than you might ever know.
Dr. Tracey, thank you for choosing being authentic and keeping your road with this community. You have and always be of great support by giving a part of yourself and knowledge. I hope you can always keep educating people like myself to be resilient and empathetic with ourselves of the way we choose and why we stick to it ;) you're very inspiring
So much of my life wasted. Really needed this & perfect timing, too, now that school is out for the summer. Time to focus on personal growth for kiddo & me. Thank you! :)
I like that you are firm, but also really soothing and kind at the same time. I'm glad that you didn't gave up TH-cam, Dr. Tracey! Your videos help me a lot!
Yikes, I genuinely needed this video. Trying to spend all my time in achieving a more comfortable life. I just want to feel good about myself & be in the position to enjoy life and improve the life of others. In order for me to get there, I got to start taking care of myself and using the time I have now because tomorrow is suggested, not promised.
Really glad you didn't give up because of some broken people who need to make others feel small in order to feel better. Imagine how different your life would be now if you'd let them win. This is inspiring and I realize I need to apply your model of perseverence to my own life!
Thank you Dr. Marks for being brave and fighting through those insecurities yourself to share your knowledge with us! You've helped me so much because now, I know what to ask for to a therapist, and understand myself and others. After getting the right help and support, I am on my way to feeling better about who I am and want to be. I was able find the strength to create mentorship programs to help others. "Empowered women empowers women". Your knowledge empowered me :) Thank you!
thank you so much for not only describing what matters in general but what matters to you...as a person/professional AND the idea that YOU STRUGGLED with a real, non trivial issue as well. MEANS SO MUCH in changing prospective!!
This has been by far one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. It makes a difference to have an expert explaining to you how to find your core values to understand the things that matter to you, I learned a lot in this video! Thank you Dr. Tracey.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! I'm so glad you decided to come back and make videos again! Your content has been super helpful to me these last few months.
Lately I've been watching a lot of your videos because I was diagnosed Bipolar type 1. Then I just kept on watching because you offer very good advice. Hearing you at the end of the video get personal about your experience warmed my heart. I'm just so glad you kept doing your videos and helping so much people. But also I just feel very happy for you getting there.
We are taught from a young age to see money as our most precious resource. We are led to believe that we can make up for any of our shortcomings just by spending money. While money is a very useful resource; time is the most important thing a man can spend👍
I don't know who this "we" is you're talking about because I was never taught that money was my most precious resource and I don't know anyone who was.
Thank you for doing what you do. You might never see the ripple effect of your content, but I can tell you that you have been very helpful to me as a stay-at-home mom who is trying to get a grasp on my identity and mental health. Thank you!
How do you do it? It's like everything you say flows in a way that I can understand so clearly, and right after your videos I start working on what's needed immediately. Thanks so much Dr. Marks.
I’m really glad you bounced back!! Even if it was ten years later! Better late than never. This 9 minute video is chock full of so much richness, but it makes me excited to do the work. Personally I struggle to get started doing things because I’m afraid to engage in things that don’t matter to me so I sit around and wait around sitting down doing nothing until I feel inspired to do something -like this morning so I came to TH-cam to watch something that could help get me out of that rut. I just feel like I really do need to get in time with myself and work on clarifying what matters. Thanks so much!
I am so thankful that you decided to push forward. You have helped me immensely and helped to give me the push to seek out mental health providers near me by showing me that there are good ones out there.
I know you will not see this, but I truly hope you know how many people you are helping with your videos. I just discovered you this year, and I am so grateful that I did. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm glad that you did not let what people said to you and about you keep you from making videos. I have worked in the mental health field for other 10 years, and i show your videos to my patients as many of them are very appreciative as I am for the context yuo have put out. Thank you and please continue doing what you are doing!
I for one am extremely glad you thickened your skin and focussed on the good you can contribute bu making these videos. I have watched quite a variety of mental health videos on TH-cam covering many topics and you are far and away my favourite channel. Your professionalism, your non-judgemental approach, your compassion, your accessible examples all combine to make really high quality videos. Thank you 💚
I'm glad to have found your channel. I've known psychiatrists and therapists and you are the most practical, sane, and genuine practioner I've heard. Most provide superficial answers or want to push meds. You however provide insights and answers, which produce hope in our souls. Thanks! You're awesome!
Can I just say that I love you. I’ve forwarded this video to both my adult daughter and son, and favorite cousin. I’ve got 2 others I want to send but am afraid I’ll overwhelm everyone. So, I’ll wait a day to pace them. I tell folks all the time being locked up for two years was stressful and a lot of folks are mis-processing. So happy I found your channel because it’s so helpful. Well done! You are a gem.
Oh Dr. Tracey! you made me cry. I feel we have the same goal in life. Thank you for being who you are, and helping me in my future formation as a psychiatrist! you are definitely an example to follow.
I am so thankful you decided to return. Your videos have given me so much to think about and consider. I have been spending a lot of time working on my writing because it matters to me. I love writing, and for many many years, I allowed other people's opinions and my negative talk to prevent me from doing what matter to me. I really appreciate your work, and thank you.
We are blessed to have you, Dr. Tracey Marks. Thank you for being there and deciding to continue TH-cam. There are very few doctors who are able to empathically explain conditions the same way you do. You empower us with information. You are a soothing balm to us who fear research owing to white-coat syndrome. You know how to share the good whilst putting to light the bad with clarity and care.
I am so glad to see you posting again. I think that you are a great doctor with an amazing kind soul. I have learned so much from you sharing your knowledge and compassion. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet with you. I am definitely making progress. Also, America and the world would like to thank the great women of Georgia for a job well done.
For what it’s worth, I enjoy the straight-forward way you explain these topics in the language of the earth people. I also think you’re a beautiful, articulate, intelligent lady. Thank you for what you’re doing.
Your videos are Wonderful Dr. Tracy! I have learned so much by watching them and find them very valuable. You have a fantastic gift that you are sharing with all of us. Thank you very much!
Thank you, Dr. Tracy Marks. I thoroughly appreciate your online presence and will to educate us on the things that will help us get through this lifetime. Be well!
Thanks Dr Marks! I am a PMHNP. I send my patients to you when they have questions with good outcomes. Additionally, early in my career I used your videos to cement my assessment of bipolar and weed out borderline personality disorder. I appreciate you and you have made an impact in my life and vicariously my patients as well. Take care!
Man that was a power message.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I thank God for using you to reach His people. And you're doing it with bomb natural hair. I love seeing the authentic you. Thank you. God bless you!
It's terrible and I'm sorry that you've been getting personal attacks in the past and even currently. Your videos help me a lot; I'm very high-strung, and suffer from bipolar disorder; can't afford a regular therapy or psychiatric oversight, and while youtube videos can never fully replace that kind of personalized care, I find listening to you explain things very informative and also somewhat soothing. So, I'm grateful you decided to give it another go after the bad experience you've had! :)
I recently happened to stumble across your videos and please know that you’re doing an amazing thing in my opinion. I love how simplistically that you present information. Thank you for staying the course! You are making a difference!
Tu canal y vos son uno de los mejores regalos de este 2023 que se nos está yendo. Desde Argentina te mando un fuerte abrazo y decirte gracias. Hoy mirando uno de tus videos me decidí por estudiar psicología, sos una inspiración para millones de seres humanos. 🌷
So glad that you decided to continue making vids! I appreciate the knowledge you share. You speak in a way that lay people can understand, and you project compassion, understanding and acceptance. Thank you!
I’m so happy that you have chosen the path that you are on! You are helping so many of us and I appreciate you immensely 🤗
Thank you so much Sandra. And thanks for being around for so long!
💜
I second that emotion! ❤️
Thank you for life changing content!
I completely agree to that statement... Dr Tracey I'm so grateful for yr videos.. seriously they are really helpful... OMG the video you did on Pumpkin seeds Magnesium has really positively helped. Thank u
You get so comfortable with doing things that are wrong that you've forgotten how wrong it is and whats actually RIGHT
Very true indeed 👍🏽
And being around people that don’t want you to do different/better can make that even more of a challenge. Stay strong.

You are so right!
Not for everyone.

I wish someone would have asked me these questions when I was younger. At least I can share this with my preteen so she’s not just floundering in the world for decades like I did. Thank you for pushing through the brutal beginning and sharing your knowledge!
This video just changed my life. I dont think ill ever be the same, in a good way. It brought me an even higher sense of self awareness.
You are amazing. Smart, kind, authentic, compassionate. I found your videos a month ago. So helpful. You have changed my life and helped me learn about myself, and what I want and need from others. I recently ended an unhealthy relationship and feel assured and empowered in my journey forward. You are a gem. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I'm so glad to play a role in helping you feel empowered! 😊❤️
I feel so much relief watching your videos that I'm tearing up for no reason. I am so grateful that you've taken the time and effort to help people help themselves. Thank you.
Thank you for your time and skills... they mean a whole lot.... continue to an inspiration to me and others.
This is right on time. I just starting writing and publicly sharing my work again because I decided not to care about the haters! So glad that you do what you do. Let your light shine, Dr. Marks.
Wow, Thank God you continued, you’ve said a lot that I’ve needed to hear. And you know THEY wanna see our downfall and are intimidated by our beauty, strength and knowledge, don’t mind THEM. ✊🏾
Thanks a lot Samad! I'm glad I'm continued too. ❤️
Congratulations Dr. Marks, for the excellent message, that touched my heart and mind! Great job!👏👏👏
So glad and thank YOU!
Thank you soooo much for continuing to make these videos! I can't believe people can be so rude and hateful, it makes me wanna cry...! Recently I've been thinking more and more that maybe I don't actually want or need to be married, but this video on values has me thinking about the fact that quality time with people I care about is very high up on my list. And after my Mother passed last year I really only have my younger brother and my father with whom I've never really had a strong relationship who sort of gave up on my brother and I for his new wife and her son. I don't have a lot going for myself and now that my brother is married and working, we don't spend a lot of time together anymore even though I live with him. So I feel like the best thing I could do is go back to school, pick music back up as a hobby, keep myself busy and maybe eventually find someone to start a family or even just a life with. Thanks again Dr. Marks, I really appreciate the content!
That sounds like a great plan. I hope it works out for you best wishes
This is one of the most important things I’ve learnt about self improvement. I’m doing many thing without knowing why or if I actually want to do them. I am exited to see what will appear as important for me when I do this exercise! I’m happy for you that you’ve found your path, you are my role model, thank you!
Dr. Marks, I am so grateful, that you are here, and sharing yourself, with us. You are my go to source, if I have a mental health question. Then once I have a grasp on what I feel it is, I can better handle it, with my therapist. It cuts down time, and helps me explain my needs, and goals more effectively. You are kind, gentle, accomplished, and very effective at explaining things in ways that helpful. So glad you decided to come back, and be of service. Blessings 🕊 ❤️ 🕯 😇 🙏 💚
That closing story was fantastic. Get it, girl. These videos are wonderful, and I've always felt like it's vital to make a positive impact in the lives of others and your community because that will be your afterlife. A knowable legacy in the connections made
Dr. Marks, you are a gift to the world. You are literally helping to evolve human consciousness, one viewer at a time. Thank Goddess you didn't give up in 2008, and you followed your heart!
Thank you so much for posting these, I really appreciate it 🧸🥺 I don't think I can see a therapist rn but hearing you speak on things I worried about or thought I should be concerned about, it's really comforting and makes me want to be healthy for the people I care about, my future and myself, questions like these are better than filling out a sheet of goals when I couldn't think of any/felt like I didn't deserve a future
Thank you for pushing through the past negative comments for the community and I, we appreciate you and your work 🧸🌺
Thank you Dr Marks...you're truely blessing to Mankind.
Keep on keeping on.
Thank you for pushing past the words of people! Your videos are 🔥🔥🔥. We need this type of content more than ever! Oh I also love your hair🙂
Thank you Shermell! I'm glad I pushed too. Did you see that straight look? I also had to get comfortable with my natural look. Thanks.
Dr. Tracey Marks your hair is so adorable, cute ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@DrTraceyMarks I'm always afraid to comment on appearances, especially as a white person commenting on POC's hairstyles. But I'm absolutely thrilled seeing you with natural hairstyles. Every time I think, YES SEE, you can be professional and have natural hair. I hope many more POC youtubers and celebs keep this trend going.
I hope this doesn't come across as virtue signaling or condescending or anything. I just want to show support.
I have watched many of your videos, over the past few months. I have been stuck in a process of grief, following my husband’s death, and your videos, have helped me in many ways. This is my favorite, you are sharing you, and that is so very special. Thank you, for all you do, and being your authentic self. Blessings 🕊💕🕯😇🙏🏻💚
I'm so happy you decided to keep making youtube videos. You are amazing and your voice is so warm and calming, it has healing properties.
I'm sad to hear that people were and/or are mean to you. Your videos are extremely helpful and well done and I'm very glad you make them. Of all the therapists/mental health advocates here on youtube, I think you make the most professional/concise, factually correct and understandable content. I really appreciate your work, please never stop making videos!
Thanks so much I really appreciate that! ❤️
I feel the most fulfilled when I'm dreaming in my sleep. Real life is just dull.
Same, and I feel bad about it 😔 Relationships, social life, work, etc. - all those domains just create more hurdles for you to jump over, and I hate exercise. I want life to be easy, but easy is difficult. And I know this kind of thinking goes against the broader society values, so it makes me feel like I’m a shit failure of a person.
get therapy if you can, and learn about dissorders with simptoms you relate to, even if it dosen't match your diagnosis, it's gonna help you because of the similarities 🙂
@@PavlosViscacha I feel the same way, bro.
@Kristopher L. Berry It won't. I'm 27 years old. Feeling like shit since 14. Like she said in the video: Time is a limited resource. Unless you have a 100% certain way for me to get better, I rather not try anything.
I will just take my meds and sleep as much as I can.
And when the pandemic ends, I'll go back to the whorehouse too.
This is my 'therapy'.
@@gabi.a I'm in my 3rd year of therapy.
Thank God you pushed through Dr. Marks! I needed you! Thank you for coming back. Namaste
I love this Dr. Marks! I am going through something similar right now and struggling with navigating and borderline obsessing over the negativity I receive as I grow my platform and influence !! I am going to do this exercise for SURE!!! Thank you!
Dr. Marks I am so glad you didn't give up! I love your videos. Some of them help me to understand myself and work towards enhanced personal growth, while others help me to understand the patients I take care of as a nurse. Thank you for all you have done to help others understand themselves and understand others. Much love!
Love this! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences. It takes courage to disregard the unwarranted negativity and accept that you decide how to live your authentic life. ❤ You've shared so much, taught many of us so very much, and have a great and farther reach than you might ever know.
Dr. Tracey, thank you for choosing being authentic and keeping your road with this community. You have and always be of great support by giving a part of yourself and knowledge.
I hope you can always keep educating people like myself to be resilient and empathetic with ourselves of the way we choose and why we stick to it ;) you're very inspiring
Thank you!
Your light shines!
GOOD. FOR. YOU!
💃🏻💞
Thank you Marti!
Dr. Tracey Marks 🙏 I'm filled with immense gratitude for the work you doing here!
So much of my life wasted. Really needed this & perfect timing, too, now that school is out for the summer. Time to focus on personal growth for kiddo & me. Thank you! :)
I like that you are firm, but also really soothing and kind at the same time. I'm glad that you didn't gave up TH-cam, Dr. Tracey! Your videos help me a lot!
Yikes, I genuinely needed this video. Trying to spend all my time in achieving a more comfortable life. I just want to feel good about myself & be in the position to enjoy life and improve the life of others.
In order for me to get there, I got to start taking care of myself and using the time I have now because tomorrow is suggested, not promised.
Really glad you didn't give up because of some broken people who need to make others feel small in order to feel better. Imagine how different your life would be now if you'd let them win. This is inspiring and I realize I need to apply your model of perseverence to my own life!
Thank you Dr. Marks for being brave and fighting through those insecurities yourself to share your knowledge with us! You've helped me so much because now, I know what to ask for to a therapist, and understand myself and others. After getting the right help and support, I am on my way to feeling better about who I am and want to be. I was able find the strength to create mentorship programs to help others. "Empowered women empowers women". Your knowledge empowered me :) Thank you!
thank you so much for not only describing what matters in general but what matters to you...as a person/professional AND the idea that YOU STRUGGLED with a real, non trivial issue as well. MEANS SO MUCH in changing prospective!!
Aww your dog watching you clean..he's like why are you doing that human play with me instead 😆
Ha yes! He's always around...
This has been by far one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. It makes a difference to have an expert explaining to you how to find your core values to understand the things that matter to you, I learned a lot in this video! Thank you Dr. Tracey.
Seriously tho this dr gets an award for her simplicity in explaining how we are our thoughts
I am so glad I found Dr. Tracy!! You are truly amazing! I have been watching your videos all morning and I am so excited to share with my loved ones.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! I'm so glad you decided to come back and make videos again! Your content has been super helpful to me these last few months.
Lately I've been watching a lot of your videos because I was diagnosed Bipolar type 1. Then I just kept on watching because you offer very good advice. Hearing you at the end of the video get personal about your experience warmed my heart. I'm just so glad you kept doing your videos and helping so much people. But also I just feel very happy for you getting there.
We are taught from a young age to see money as our most precious resource. We are led to believe that we can make up for any of our shortcomings just by spending money. While money is a very useful resource; time is the most important thing a man can spend👍
I don't know who this "we" is you're talking about because I was never taught that money was my most precious resource and I don't know anyone who was.
I'm so happy that you've gotten back on TH-cam. What you do is helping so many people. Thank you Dr. Tracey Marks
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
You’re welcome Fabuloso!
Thank you for doing what you do. You might never see the ripple effect of your content, but I can tell you that you have been very helpful to me as a stay-at-home mom who is trying to get a grasp on my identity and mental health. Thank you!
This is overwhelming as I don't have the answers to 90% of those questions. I'm 30. I should put these questions in writing and answer them.
Yes, just take it step-by-step. Nobody expects you to know everything the first time you try to plan.
I have the answers but my answers would raise a million red flags to any therapist. Is that better? 😔
Your videos are informative, well planned and best of all helpful. Thanks Dr. Marks.
How do you do it? It's like everything you say flows in a way that I can understand so clearly, and right after your videos I start working on what's needed immediately.
Thanks so much Dr. Marks.
I’m really glad you bounced back!! Even if it was ten years later! Better late than never. This 9 minute video is chock full of so much richness, but it makes me excited to do the work.
Personally I struggle to get started doing things because I’m afraid to engage in things that don’t matter to me so I sit around and wait around sitting down doing nothing until I feel inspired to do something -like this morning so I came to TH-cam to watch something that could help get me out of that rut. I just feel like I really do need to get in time with myself and work on clarifying what matters. Thanks so much!
I am so thankful that you decided to push forward. You have helped me immensely and helped to give me the push to seek out mental health providers near me by showing me that there are good ones out there.
I know you will not see this, but I truly hope you know how many people you are helping with your videos. I just discovered you this year, and I am so grateful that I did. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm glad that you did not let what people said to you and about you keep you from making videos. I have worked in the mental health field for other 10 years, and i show your videos to my patients as many of them are very appreciative as I am for the context yuo have put out. Thank you and please continue doing what you are doing!
So glad you kept going Dr Marks - You have no idea how valuable your videos are and the positive impact you’re having on all our lives.
I for one am extremely glad you thickened your skin and focussed on the good you can contribute bu making these videos. I have watched quite a variety of mental health videos on TH-cam covering many topics and you are far and away my favourite channel.
Your professionalism, your non-judgemental approach, your compassion, your accessible examples all combine to make really high quality videos.
Thank you 💚
You’re welcome and thank YOU😊🙏🏽
Dr. Marks, I feel that your work not only is enlightening, but matters tremendously. Thank you.
I'm glad to have found your channel. I've known psychiatrists and therapists and you are the most practical, sane, and genuine practioner I've heard. Most provide superficial answers or want to push meds. You however provide insights and answers, which produce hope in our souls. Thanks! You're awesome!
Can I just say that I love you. I’ve forwarded this video to both my adult daughter and son, and favorite cousin. I’ve got 2 others I want to send but am afraid I’ll overwhelm everyone. So, I’ll wait a day to pace them.
I tell folks all the time being locked up for two years was stressful and a lot of folks are mis-processing. So happy I found your channel because it’s so helpful.
Well done! You are a gem.
Oh Dr. Tracey! you made me cry. I feel we have the same goal in life. Thank you for being who you are, and helping me in my future formation as a psychiatrist! you are definitely an example to follow.
I am so thankful you decided to return. Your videos have given me so much to think about and consider. I have been spending a lot of time working on my writing because it matters to me. I love writing, and for many many years, I allowed other people's opinions and my negative talk to prevent me from doing what matter to me. I really appreciate your work, and thank you.
We are blessed to have you, Dr. Tracey Marks. Thank you for being there and deciding to continue TH-cam. There are very few doctors who are able to empathically explain conditions the same way you do. You empower us with information. You are a soothing balm to us who fear research owing to white-coat syndrome. You know how to share the good whilst putting to light the bad with clarity and care.
I am so glad to see you posting again. I think that you are a great doctor with an amazing kind soul. I have learned so much from you sharing your knowledge and compassion. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet with you. I am definitely making progress. Also, America and the world would like to thank the great women of Georgia for a job well done.
I sure am glad you came back and tried again because you really help me and so many others! You're an extraordinary person, Dr. Tracey!
For what it’s worth, I enjoy the straight-forward way you explain these topics in the language of the earth people. I also think you’re a beautiful, articulate, intelligent lady. Thank you for what you’re doing.
Your videos are Wonderful Dr. Tracy! I have learned so much by watching them and find them very valuable. You have a fantastic gift that you are sharing with all of us. Thank you very much!
"Time is fixed and cannot be borrowed so how you spend it says a lot about you and your values." Yes that got me
Thank you, Dr. Tracy Marks. I thoroughly appreciate your online presence and will to educate us on the things that will help us get through this lifetime.
Be well!
Thanks Dr Marks! I am a PMHNP. I send my patients to you when they have questions with good outcomes. Additionally, early in my career I used your videos to cement my assessment of bipolar and weed out borderline personality disorder. I appreciate you and you have made an impact in my life and vicariously my patients as well. Take care!
Man that was a power message.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I thank God for using you to reach His people. And you're doing it with bomb natural hair. I love seeing the authentic you. Thank you. God bless you!
Tracy I’m so obsessed with your videos! Thank you so much for pushing through and making these! 🌹
It's terrible and I'm sorry that you've been getting personal attacks in the past and even currently. Your videos help me a lot; I'm very high-strung, and suffer from bipolar disorder; can't afford a regular therapy or psychiatric oversight, and while youtube videos can never fully replace that kind of personalized care, I find listening to you explain things very informative and also somewhat soothing. So, I'm grateful you decided to give it another go after the bad experience you've had! :)
I recently happened to stumble across your videos and please know that you’re doing an amazing thing in my opinion. I love how simplistically that you present information. Thank you for staying the course! You are making a difference!
Tu canal y vos son uno de los mejores regalos de este 2023 que se nos está yendo. Desde Argentina te mando un fuerte abrazo y decirte gracias. Hoy mirando uno de tus videos me decidí por estudiar psicología, sos una inspiración para millones de seres humanos. 🌷
Thank you for not giving up! What you say has been so influential in my life for good.
So glad that you decided to continue making vids! I appreciate the knowledge you share. You speak in a way that lay people can understand, and you project compassion, understanding and acceptance.
Thank you!
So philosophical and practical at the same time. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
