thank you for sharing a little about yourself! i have wondered, but didn't ask because i wanted to respect your privacy as a professional. this video could not have come at better time for me (post-stressful/frustrating conversations with family members), thank you! tonight i totally shut my mouth (which is a huge issue for me - i'm getting better, but slowly) in order to just let the other person get what they wanted to say off their chest.
i heard it to but i didn't wanna say anything cuz sometimes i misunderstand the meaning behind what people are saying...its ok though...but that word does bother some people...i love your videos kati..you're amazing. they've been so helpful!
I love this video! I know for me as I move through recovery and I am trying new things and getting closer with people and friends again, I struggle to have an answer when asked personal questions about whats important to me or whats my opinion on things. I get so caught up in what others will think and I still want to please everyone. I also find that because I am so hard on myself and doing things right I sometimes am too hard on others and place a high expectation only to get let down...
Kati I was just re-watching your videos here because I needed inspiration and reminders... and then I heard you talking about the freedom fighters! so cool, I was one of the 'founding members' back a couple of years ago :) I havent been active on youtube for 2 years or so and I stopped making videos for the collab channel about 3 years ago when I started my training. love the pro recovery movement here on YT, I would be nowhere without it!
Yeah, thanks for your reply :) I guess that I do try to protect myself, because it feels like showing my weaknesses make me weak. I went for depression, (also ocd, paranoia and ednos) which is currently close to a point where I think that I should admit myself to a unit before I
I wish I could! But I have the olympics to see, a play I am in, and then school, this is an important year before big exams :s And only two people really know, and they're not in my normal group of friends. It's a small, all-girl's school in which mental illness is practicall unheard of. Everyone judges there, and I couldn't stand it! I think I shall try to be more open with my therapist, thank you so much for all the advice :) xxx
I was just curious, because you look young and you are very educated. I'm just starting to watch your videos. You may see my comments on old videos. My friend Melissa showed me this channel.
You make me smile! :) The Hokey Pokey and Chicken Dance at the beginning... and your adorable laugh!... and your facial expressions when you talk about practicing what you preach. AHHH! :D Thank you for being you... i was having a rough night (more like a rough year but hey), and then i stumbled upon this video and you made me smile.
I'm that person who flakes like ALL THE TIME. My anxiety gets the best of me and I suddenly just cannot go. I let down my family and friends regularly. Lucky for me, they all know that I suffer from BPD and they are compassionate. I wonder if you would be forgiving of a friend being a flake, if you knew that their flakiness came from a place of anxiety?
The last 100 times I have told people I don't appreciate their flaking out, their general response is that I'm expecting too much out of them as if I'm the problem. 🤷
continued... but i ended up being upset after talking to them which became very triggering and i feel like i have had a bit of a set back now which just enforces (in a way) my instinct to shut my mouth, but i also see why i shouldn't keep quiet... anyway, thanks again ; )
I would like your opinion and advice on the issue of boundaries that you speak of in this video, if you are able to spare the time. Should my child expect to have boundaries established for her behaviour, if she expects boundaries to be established over the behaviour of others? I feel that this is not an easy question. As a parent, I may not like the way she treats me at times. What do we do there? Should she expect me to let her know what I don't like it, & risking her getting upset?
katie Ive been really struggling with my ed and my teeth are starting to decay and go bad. I passed out a few days back and was unconcious. my bf had to call an ambulance. it terrifies me that ive become so sick but yet im 193lbs im gross...i do want to start treatment but i dont want to scare my family. how do i go about this..if i tell my college psychologist will she tell other ppl
i don't have a eating disorder but kids at school call me fat and ugly and cuss at me and now im going to middle school im really scared what should i do?
Thank you for your videos Kati! I found you through idranktheseawater, and your videos are helping so many people. I was just wondering if you have any tips to opening up to councellors? I have a camhs worker who I have seen once, and I always end up lying or underexaddurating things, I find it very difficult to talk to people! -3
i dont really trust anyone anymore i usually sit in my room,alone listening to my favorite goth bands, but is there a way to talk to you over facebook,maby? i really need someone to talk to, i cant talk to my dad because he tells EVERYONE in the world he cant keep a secret, i am not going to talk to my dads freinds cause they tell dad and my friend, well i dont want them to worrie and my mom? the LAST person i would want to talk to
So if someone asks you, "How are you?" And you're like, "I'm good. Just tired." And then they repeatedly ask, "What's wrong?" And you keep saying, "I'm tired..." And they keep going, "Really, what's wrong?" and you mean it, should you maybe tell them that they need to take what you say at face value? I'm always upfront about how I'm feeling when people ask. It's like the guy doesn't believe me and thinks I'm so broken that something more is *always* wrong. Sometimes I really do feel fine.
i hqve told my mom dad teachers and principles but no luck and one kid john he hurts me both ways he calls me a mother****** and he punches me and hes older than me and im 11 i hope he dosent go to middle school with me hes the reason i cry at night
but what if you say how you want to be treated and you say what you don't like but the other person don't really understand and think he is o.k, like he does what HE wants.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH Kati thanks for mentioning me. You guys should check out werfreedomfighters. But yes we do have to teach others how to treat us. My friend Arielle said that. For my question now, does anyone have any suggestions for gaining weight quickly? I dropped a lot because of a medicine I am now not taking. I need medical help and nobody is helping me even though I keep reaching out. ~Brianna
become too dangerous for myself, and yet he thinks I have mild depression, and he only knows about that one problem. It's like I have a mental block from telling him anything! Aha that's fine, I ramble too! Xxx
Thank you so much Kati, I find it comforting somehow that everyone, even you, can have issues sometimes, it just gives me so much hope

You're amazing! Just wanted to throw out there that it's offensive when you use the word "retarded" in your videos
