Many students struggle with mental health. Anxiety during exam season when stress levels are at an all time high is also quite common and many of you have told me that you experience that or worse.
I struggle with stress and anxiety, and this is the first time I am discussing about it in a video. I hope this video sheds a light on the importance of mental health and helps some of you feel less alone.
So in this video, we talk about how to stop self-sabotage which halts your progress, how to make a manageable to-do list that is not overwhelming, how to reduce anxiety, how to stop feeling so overwhelmed with big tasks, how to rest properly and how to reset your life.
There is a special message for you guys at 10:24 ❤️
I’m always updating you guys on my journey to university in Australia on Instagram (insta: @ngfayee) so be sure to follow me there!

I prefer being alone🙂
I prefer being with ppl (except when I'm studying) I really enjoy being with ppl
I prefer being alone as an introvert 😅
I am very introverted when I’m sad but overall I am an Ambivert because I’m mostly neutral
All my motivation disappears when I'm around someone else while studying *-*
Suffered from depression for 3 years. Now I’ve completely recovered but I’ve lost the habit of studying completely so I’m currently working on that. It’s hard and it’s taking a lot of time but I’m patient with myself. I know I can do it! ☺️
Fightinng!!! Surely you can do it! You overcame what is harder! This is nothing infront of your power!
That is really cool, you can really be proud of yourself for that! I've been struggling with depression for a long time as well, but unfortunately, it became so severe I couldn't work, study, or do anything anymore. Thankfully I'm on meds now, but I hope that I can get into the habit of studying again after I recover. Good luck to you!
Yes you definitely can do it I hope you get As!!
suffered for 7
I wish u luck! U r so strong and the fact that u r making efforts to get back on ur feet is rlly inspiring to me :DDD Fightingggg!
after 37 failed attempts, I finally realized that I never actually wanted to die. I just needed a reason to stay..
You're strong❤
Proud of u❤

You are so strong 💙 I'm proud of you for being here.❤️ It sounds like you found that reason and I'm glad and thankful that you did.
I'm sending you a lot of love and I hope you have a good morning/day/night. 🫂
For everyone here: I’m so proud of you! You most likely are going through a shitty time, and you are still trying your best in school. Drink some water, get some sleep, and take as many breaks as you need.
you're amazing
thank you
I DONT GOT NO TIME
No time for breaks man. No food either. But I'm not even hungry, just complete loss of appetite.
@Nathan Torres just have a couple breaks. Every 30 minutes should do. Have some
I have never found a studying video that I could lean on due to my clinical depression. Every day feels like another layer of guilt was added but thanks to you, your spot-on understanding shone a light for me that there really are people who are like me. I already was brought to tears during the video, so when I got to your message, I would say it reached my heart. Thank you for giving me a little more hope that I do have a chance of having an academic life. ❤️💐
Same 😔
You're right. There are people like you. No matter how hard life can be, you are not fighting alone... :)
@@isa-lk4lj Thank you so so much.. :) You are not fighting in this alone either, I can guarantee that ❤
@@ameilemarcille8729 thank you so much 😊
Everyday feels like another layer of guild added. I felt that. I would cry now but I feel to empty for that
I literally NEEDED this rn..I was scrolling on TH-cam for the entire day but this video gave me the motivation to start studying..thanks faye
Me too. She’s incredible
Sometimes all you need is a little nudge 😉
Happy studying and rest well too~
Same broo😭
Thank you so much because now I won't have to be stressed out about studying and looking at other people who I personally think is better than in literally every thing especially in high school because it's quite stressful if u are new in high school and have sooo much to learn. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it💖💖💖💖💖💖❤❤❤💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Such an important topic to talk. Love that you’re spreading the good word queen 👸

My mental health has been low for 2 years straight now. Of course I had ups and downs but every time I wanted to change it never lasted long. Now I know that I just have to work with what I have. I am enough. Thank you Faye. I’m in tears. There is actually hope for me.
Same here
Me too
We're all going to try our absolute hardest, good luck
I wish I could hold back tears writing this. I was ignored so many times for not understanding certain topics in school, now it's gotten even harder to study and focus. It's a like a noose on my neck, it keeps getting tighter. I've always been a bright student, I've never failed truly but my grades are dropping nowadays. I have taken the habits of procrastination and other negative traits. Crazy thoughts cloud my judgement, I feel demotivated to do anything even the games I used to play are no longer fun but I still play it. I am devoid of joy for past 2-3 years, I've become lazy and keep holding myself back. There's no true friends I've that i can talk to. I feel everyone is pretentious and truth be said my parents never cared for sanity in the first place. I'm sinking in a bottomless pit and there's no to save me. Seeing my friends getting good grades makes me frustrated, unsatisfied and unhappy. Teachers are dragging my confidence down into shambles. I'm trying to bounce back but it's so hard, my mental health is deteriorating. I've become paranoid and anxious lately that I may have a major and fatal disease and end up dying young. I don't know what's happening to me.
@@BinodiniMahapatra-pz7vv it's not you. it's the environment that hampers your health. teachers putting pressure on you and interacting with toxic people everyday is just mentally draining. just try to find a hobby so that you can distract yourself from this things or do something that you always wanted to that can help you reach your long term goals, i am kinda recovering right now from procastination (in the early stages). just get a good friend or partner who you can share your thoughts to. it works, i did it and remember the key advice.
"you will become the same person that the people you surround yourself with"
There always was
Im crying so much over this video because i have 7 subjects to study, 6 topics for each, for midterms in a week. Have barely started and i am so overwhelmed and keep beating myself up for not being able to finish as much as i want. Now i realize i dont have to do absolutely everything, and i can just ignore all the extra reading i assigned myself. Even if i wont understand the material as well, at least i wont cry myself to sleep with the stress.
All the best 😊 you can do it . Be kind to yourself and do as much as you can 👍
@@agraniutkarsh9964 thank you you really cheered me up! best of luck to you too :)
How's it going now? No worries if everything didn't go to plan. Not sure what country you're from or if class schedules work differently, but as an American 4 classes at once is often considered a heavy load. What's the "normal" amount if classes to take per quarter/semester? What worked?
@@mksjnd the normal amount is 6 per semester, 5 if you're half-load. I think the subjects were just pretty advanced because it was Senior Fall.
The good news is the midterms were postponed 1 week. The bad news is I'm retaking one of those subjects. Thank you for asking, I hope you have a nice day
Same here bestie😭
I like your advice to not compare yourself to when you were “better”. I feel a lot of pressure from my family and doctors to “get better”. Like if I have a depression or anxiety episode, the assumption is that my treatment is failing and the expectation is that I’m not allowed to feel okay with myself until I’m “better” again. It feels like I don’t have the privilege that neurotypicals do to just… have a bad day/week/month without it meaning anything greater.
same. i'm tired of the "but are you getting better, right??" question. No i'm not. I'm tired of being so pressured into changing something i have literally zero control about. Antidepressants wasn't making any difference. I might as well be having tums or tictacs every morning instead of medication, based on me "getting better". I recently found out i might have bipolar disorder, so maybe that's why i never get "truly better". It's just hypomanic episodes. I know it sounds weird, but knowing this makes me feel kinda glad and it's extremely comforting, because i know at least where are these eternal up and downs coming from, and that i don't expect to have a normal brain - now i won't keep on getting disappointed on my mental health- and i might never recover, but at least i can predict how things are gonna be from now on lol
Wow I didn’t know how to put that feeling in words. Thank you
That's a good thought actually. In my case it became internalized so when i have a bad week or a bad day i immediately panic that this is depression again even though most of the times it turned out to be my pms or lack of sleep or meals
exactly, u LIERALLY spoke my mind so well
With me is the other way around my parents keep telling me that it is a process and I have to stop beating myself up every time that I have a bad day after a few days of feeling "normal" again .
i am struggling with my mental health a lot now a days. before the pandemic, 2 years ago i used to be one of the toppers. now i am at the bottom , sinking in deep sea of depression and there is no one who can help me. i really needed this rn . thank you so much. thinking about past gives me a lot of anxiety. as you said i should stop thinking about how better i was and i should start again from what i have . i still have 3 month before exam. and i promise you i will not waste a single day from today and i will give my best ! you made me cry . you understand us .
i can relate to you so well rn... i hope things got better :)
Same here....
I just look a lot what I was, what I could, what it's happening to others around me...
And I feel so bad with these thoughts. And I get so unmotivated, I did a lot of rest doing anything, but those thoughts just consume so much that I didn't rested.
And now I am also so afraid about future, about new things. I should make such a big pause in my life. I lost my confidence, my desire to learn more. When I start to plan the future I iust wants to get easy stuffs....
I hope that with a job that stretch me could bring me back to what I wants to be.
And don't forget to find professional help. I am starting, and I hope they can help me.
Omg this is so relatable for me... You have no idea
How are you doing now?
Hey, I was feeling the same! But I am feeling a little bit better now. What helped me is to talk with "friends" (actually I don't have friend, I cut all my connections during 2 years of pandemic... what I did was talk with veterans and other nice people in my class. And I am impressed how nice people are. It's hard to get the courage, but totally worth it!
And I read some books
So good that they can't ignore you
The productivity project
Atomic habits
Deep work
At the start I kinda was still comparing to others (the examples that was in the book). But at the end, I feels so much more determinate, calm, and I started to stop to compare myself with my past, with who I could be and about my goals
The root of my depression has always been worrying about the future especially when it's not clear. I've seen bad situations from other people and I don't want to end up like them. Your tip of focusing on the present and what's around you really eased me up.
For everyone here: I'm so proud of you! you're probably having a hard time rn but don't worry abt it too much because it's gonna get better soon i promise :) don't force yourself to study or do other stuff if you just don't feel like doing it rn it's really okay. drink some water, take a nap, take as many breaks as u need, eat well and most importantly remember that everything's gonna be alright soon so take care
Thanks, you cheered me up, and your words matter.
I had been suffering from anxiety because of my studies. This video showed exactly how I felt. And got much better. I had even happy tears watching this.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS FAYE..
나도 ㅜㅜ
Same I'm still in tears while reading this ...I'm regretting over my past and worrying for my future because of tht .I try to study but i could never get the marks I want .the day before the particular exam i myself will be having extreme anxiety and end up not studying and just gets low marks and regret this cyle doesn't end ..... I want to break the cycle and get out
@@stina830 same here
Same.😢🇱🇰
Seriously, thank you Faye for addressing the issue of mental health. Sometimes, society forget that students are also humans.( More in Asia)
exactly the indian school system is horrifying
The education system is too harsh on its students
Its unfair but at least we can support each other 💕❤️☺️
I can relate to. In my country not sometimes but always society forget that we're humans.
As well as when toppers forget that they're humans, all of us have to involve that cruel competition.
If we don't society label us as failures.
I felt your words dear friend...
@@Fayefilms it's such a pain here. In India they consider mental disorders as being mad
As a student with Severe ADHD and in my 10th now it's such a pain, as I have so much pressure. All I could do is cry and think that I'm a failure for being bad in studies it hurts. I feel like I'm disappointing my parents for being like this. I love your videos and it helps me in studies, I'm getting somewhat manageable with my studies.
Thank you so much I love you so much ❤️
-Kavya
this video made me cry so hard... it felt like the hug that my parents never gave me.
I think this video will actually help. I’ve been depressed for 6 years now and everyday’s a struggle to even start my to do list most of the times. I’m on a constant state of anxiety because I have many pending works but I’m gonna watch this video once everyday as a start to my day to remind myself that I can do better so thank you :)
Since you started believing you’re already half way there! I know how u feel.. I will pray for your happiness
I so get how you feel. We can do this!
Same💯🥲🥲
Let's appreciate Faye for caring so much for us and uploading videos even when she's busy, love u Faye! 🥺❤️
Yea applause
She’s the kindest person I love her 💛
Trying my best for you guys~~
@@Fayefilms Love you so much bestie~~~❤
I sent this to my friend who is clearly struggling but is in a very pressuring academic environment with no time for herself. Her family is not every open minded and she's under 18 so can't go to therapy. I listen to her and send her helpful stuff whenever I can.
That message at the end does hit, I won't lie when I say I did tear up a bit.
I'm still struggling really hard on if what I'm doing really is worth it or if I have the ability to recover. Just hearing these tips and knowing there are healthier ways to treat myself really helps already. Thanks for making this, cheers 💛
you are not alone in this💕💞 and you will recover
The special message at the end really teared me up. I was always the bright student who scored perfect marks in almost every tests. But for a year or so idk what happened to me. I'm crying almost daily , don't have the motivation to study and my grades are going down as well. Now i barely pass any tests. My parents complain about my scores. Idk how to explain them. I was really trying hard. And this video really helped me alot. Thank you so much dear. I hope i will slowly get back as i was🥺🤞
Pray and meditate on it daily ☯️
Proud of you ❤.
you got this
Faye thank you for that message at 10:24 those were the words i needed to hear, i started crying after that and i felt better and I'm ready to start on being better and start working on myself from now on. Thank you for all the hardwork you put into your videos
Super super proud of you ❤️❤️
@@Fayefilms thanks faye sis for that advice cuz everything I hearing rn (even from myself) is how lazy and so much big of a failure I am. I didn't even think of this thing that at least I tried thank you so much for reminding me and thank you so much for telling me that I am not a failure but a brave person who is trying to be better
I am in 9th standard and I've heard many people say that 9th class is a new start and it changes everything and I got to know it why they said that I am just so messed up and tired I can't even explain, everything's been so.... fast and it's freaking me out but thanks to you. You gave me the most important thing that I needed the most -a praise of myself, I am happy that I make someone proud of me
If I say its not me who's crying on that words of yours,
I'm lying
Today was a "bad mental health" day for me, Really needed this . Your study tips are really effective and always help☺️ Thanks, Your content is great💚💚💚💚
We all have highs and lows~ Hope you feel better ❤️
My inside self cried after listening to the message at the end...best video ever, really felt it connect in the end💚
2020 really threw me off in the worst ways possible. I didn’t like doing homework back when I was young, but even with the ones I put low effort in and couldn’t do as well as it should’ve. I still passed. Here i am in 2024, not doing anything til last minute and regretting my life choices. I think I subconsciously don’t do it because I dread failure or the idea of it. The pandemic and coronavirus didn’t help as it gave me too many existential crises that really got me thinking what will I do to the point I die. I’m held back by my past failings, my flaws and the things I hate about myself. So watching this video brought me comfort, thank you x
I’m really struggling with my mental health. I really need to allow myself to not study for one day do get myself back together, so I looked up how to do that without feeling guilty. I’m only 40 seconds in but hearing you say “If you don’t want to study today, that’s okay” really helped so thank you.
The message at the end really brought me to tears. 😭 To whoever is having a bad day, hang in there! You are doing well. ❤ I usually stress before some big events like an interview or public speaking, I get calm during the actual process but the time leading upto it, the anticipation really sends my brain in frenzy. 😭💚
Yup! Chanelling all that anxious and stressful energy into excitement is so important ❤️
I got tears too
Thanks so much Faye. And your message at the end made me cry. I literally needed this a lot. I can't bring myself to even open my textbooks now. I get so much anxiety and stress, I can't even sleep properly. I just worry about how I am not doing anything and that I am a failure. It’s also really hard when you have people who just push you to live up to their expectations, you know. And the hardest part is that you know that they do this for your own sake. But when you are literally struggling so much and you are mentally and physically stressed, tired and drained, it doesn’t even matter. This is probably the biggest youtube comment I ever wrote. But this is a safe place for me and I just wanted to rant so...yeah.
the message at the end made me tear up a little bit. i dropped out of school a few months ago because my mental health was consitently going down every passing day in school. i stopped studying so i can get better this year and hopefully get a better school year next year. i'll come back to this video once i'm finally back to school, thank you for this faye :))
i really hope that ur mental health gets better bestie and we can do it, fighting!!
I hope you’re doing better now, whatever you decided to do
I actually struggle with bipolar disorder and this video has been so meaningful to me. It's specially hard since I can have depressive episodes when I can't get anything done and hypomanic episodes when I'm so energized I literally can't stop being productive, and I always compare myself to myself when I'm having these mood changes... This video has been very insightful. Thank you! ♥
Wish you best of luck♡ You're really strong!🧡
i suffer from the same thing 😢 since i was 10yo... now I'm 20 and it's so hard
All your videos are so incredible but this one really hit home for me. When you’re not feeling your best it can be so hard to get things done but fining realistic ways to stay on top of your responsibilities and still giving yourself the break you need can be so hard but these tips sound amazing and I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks Faye 💛
All the best to you Khalilah~ ❤️
"Mental health" is something very important .But we all neglect it thinking it's just nothing.My sister's therapist suggested me and her that study/working is important but so as mental health. My sister had been affected by it very much in a worse way.
I pray for her everyday that may she gets better . I don't want anyone here to suffer as my sister did so........ Go take a break and calm down
Yes! We often don’t notice there is something wrong until its too late 😔
Mental health is as important as physical health, so we have to prioritize it too ❤️
Can we just appreciate how much effort she took to make this video so beautifully?
This is extraordinary and I loved it so much. Thank you so much for giving so many useful tips to overcome anxiety and depression and work towards a better future.
I struggle with balancing school and chores too, its really nice to hear that everything does not need to be finished all at once! chipping away at the hard tasks is something i'm working on, and practice makes it easier.
I struggled with my mental health A LOT last semester. Now, as I’m feeling better, I’m wondering what I can do when such an episode comes up again. This video is perfect as I continue studying towards finals this year. Thank you, Faye, for empowering students all over the world!
I was at your position just last month~
I think its good to remind yourself to chase progress not perfection~ that takes off a lot of the pressure you put on yourself~
You have excellent planning skills which is an amazing quality to have~~ all you need is some motivation that will definitely come once you encourage (not pressure) yourself ❤️
@@Fayefilms agreed, agreed and agreed. Thanks so much for the encouragement, it really made my day 🥰🥰 All the best to you for university bestie !! ❤️
My exams are coming closer and I feel so stressed😕. It feels like I didn’t study nothing at all 😖 .
Thank you so much Faye you’re not only giving good tips also you’re a best motivator 😊👍🏻❤️
Take it easy okay~
As long as you tried your best~
@@Fayefilms
Yeah 🥲
Hope I’ll get good results .
Thank you for your concern Faye ❤️🙂
i wish i could put to words how amazing this channel is. literally save me multiple times especially in my now "burned out gifted kid" era due to some very personal events that had happened . i also have been in and out of 'toxic friendships/relationships' with emphasis on the quotation marks. cause i feel like they don't really realise what they're doing to those around them and yk when you try to connect to these kind of people you would also hurt yourself doing so. i never have the heart to say anything when they do something hurtful. at the same time, i can't really find the energy or courage to find new people, i only really hope that my kind of people and nicer peeps will come to me as i try to recover from my state.
im not very good at ranting sadly but i hope it made sense, i love u faye!!
these days i feel so anxious and unwanted . I have being surrounded by negative thoughts at this point that I feel numb. Also this procrastination is killing me . But this video is inspiring me . Thanks a lot . I hope I feel better soon.
I've been really struggling a lot w/ my mental health lately and this helps so much thank you, you really came like a superhero at the right time
Aww I hope you find peace ❤️❤️❤️
The type of study videos we NEED! I remember a month ago I was so burnt out. Very depressed. Then I found out about Faye randomly and tried her study tips and now after some customization, I'm back on track! Thanks a lot, Faye💜
That must be so hard to do, so im so proud of you! 🥰💜❤️💜❤️
@@Fayefilms Thanks!!!💜💜💜
oh Faye this is so helpful i wish i had seen this earlier because this past semester was extremely hard on me, I was really struggling to cope.
Thank you for all your content it has really helped me so much along my academic journey and I wish everyone who sees this has compassion for themselves while going through a tough time. Things are not the same as when you weren't struggling and with a little bit of adjustment you will still be able to accomplish what you had set out to do initially. Maybe not the way you wanted but A WIN IS A WIN.
Thank you so incredibly much for not only this video, but all of your other videos. You have contributed so much to my educational journey during my years in undergrad, and I hope you can focus on all the good you’ve done for others even in your times of bad mental health struggles ❤
hey faye! you helped me become more motivated to study and i thank you a lotttt for that 😊😊
but most importantly, you helped me have more realistic expectations and set goals, you really helped me with my academics and I can't thank you enough for that
Super proud of you for working hard and making improvements!
Me: lying on my bed feeling so stressed and anxiety and DONT WANT TO START ANYTHING..
after watching your video I feel more motivated to get up my bed and study more! so keep your great work girl! 💫🥺
Thanks Faye for your message.. I'm 14 and been suffering from teen depression, anger issues your message made me feel a little better
I have been dealing with extreme anxiety and panic attacks for the last year and it is making it extremely difficult for me to study for my exams. I always blame my self and end up feeling a lot of guilt for all the times I have not been able to get me to do things. Your video and specially that final message was exactly what I needed to hear. Seeing I am not the only one dealing with this made me feel comforted and not alone. After watching this video I was able to go back to study and actually do some progress. Thank you a thousand times ❤
Hi Faye, I've been feeling stressed lately because my exams start next week but I just can't focus because of the anxiety that my stress has been causing me. The message at 10:24 made me tear up and feel loved thanks so much!!! 💚💚💚
Stop you’re making me cry too😩
@@Fayefilms Wait, omg ily you replied!!!
same here haha ! are you Indian?
@@aster7482 Yea! And thankfully my exams have been going great as of now! What about yours? (If they started)
Something I am really suffering from is bad mental health. And everything that i do is just worsening it. Faye you're literally a mind reader. Thank you so much for this video.
ur literally a genius what - you’ve helped me warm up to one of the things i’ve loathed since before i could remember tysm
As an older person who struggled a lot on her studies because of mental health, and that mostly had to figure it out all by herself I'd like to tell thank you, especially for the last part it's greatly appreciated 😊
I really feel that I kinda have this phase on Sundays cause I procrastinate too much but I’m improving myself and I think the first thing is basically do something that you love so that you get the motivation love your videos Faye 💖✨
We have high and low days~
Just make sure you don’t force yourself to work too much during those days that you need to rest~
@@Fayefilms Aw thanks 💖
I have never commented on your videos but this is just perfect content with perfect timing, Faye. I really mean it. I have been feeling myself and my academic performance as a failure, always comparing myself with others and taking it as a motivation to trry harder, just waiting for the perfect productive time, spending hours on social. I've been making myself feel worse.
Thank you for the recognition that I tried. I've been feeling jealous about other's results instead of just focusing on my journey. I overthink when I'm resting and procrastinate when I've to study. I mean I dun really know what's got into me. But after a long week of not studying, I did 2 academic essays today. That's just a small achievement for today.
This channel is the best place of been in my life it feels so warm and cozy that I'm improving my study habits day by day and also focusing on my mental health I just can't explain how faye films had helped me
thank you so much for the bit at the end of the video, it genuinely brought tears to my eyes. i didn’t know how much i needed to hear that
Omg, this really helped me so much. I have been struggling with math since last year where I eventually ended up failing it, I have created a fear of math inside myself and I cannot even try to look at it. The failing ended up messing me badly which messed up my studies for the new semester (the one ongoing). This actually made me think over it and how I can just take a break at times, because I started forcing myself to do 20 things a day and when I could not I'd just feel really bad about myself. Thank you!
This is so perfectly timed😭 I have been struggling with this issue for quite a few months now, and this really helped💓 Thanks Faye for always giving practical tips on day-to-day things, love ya xx
Hope you get through whatever it is you’re going through ❤️
You’re strong~
omg thank you so much, means a lot!! 🥺
Thank you so much for this video! I recently started my PhD, and at the start of it I developed the most intense imposter syndrome I've ever experienced. It got so bad that it sent me into a deep depression that I've been trying to get out of all year. I haven't been able to motivate myself to work, I'm always tired, and I've been constantly comparing myself to the student I once was. Because I thought I was a failure, I became too exhausted to put all the effort in anymore. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. I just started studying for my qualifying exam and I'm getting nervous about how much I still have to learn, but you reminded me that's important to keep my eyes set on what's immediately ahead -- and don't stress about the rest. I'm not as productive as I used to be, but I've improved so much from just a week ago -- and it's important to be proud of myself for that!
Thanks girl , I'm creating my study plan and taking all the ups and downs helps a lot in case I'll feel like quiting .
I really really needed to hear that part on not depending on others, because when you fall into a habit of finding solace only in interaction with other people there are many times when people can't be available. So instead of finding help it just puts more of an emotional burden on you. And the last message was very sweet and hit right in the heart, Faye. Thank you so much for this video. You will get through whatever it is that's causing you stress, easily!
Oh my god this is so helpful! A lot of us really struggle with our mental health ESPECIALLY during work and study days, especially finals week and stuff. Thank you so much for this, to be honest you are such a huge help to students like me who struggle
this is perfect thank you. a lot of the advice I see is for neurotypical people or people with anxiety, not for people like me who can barely get out of bed. This video is exactly what I need right now and I have a feeling I will refer back to this video many times :)
This was super helpful, thank you so much! I really appreciate your ability to be vulnerable, it's really refreshing and good to know that I'm not alone in regards to things like this.
I really needed to hear this. I have been stressing a lot regarding my academics but this video of yours has really calmed me down. Thank you so much and please keep save us like this always 😊
I was almost about to cry when i heard the message at the end of the vid. It made me feel recognised and that I'm doing something good and i can do it. 💚💚
Thankyou so much Faye for being there for us I really appreciate it and you may not know but it will help so many of us just trying to cope.
Thankyou so so so much 💖💕 Love you 💚💚
You’ve put words to some difficult feelings to describe. And you have a lovely relaxing way of seeing things, of being nice and kind to yourself. That’s one of the most amazing techniques I’ve used and learnt so far when it comes to mental health: being kind to oneself, grounding ourselves in the present, allowing time for rest.
I am so so so scared about my final exams. Essentially my future depends on it (I live in india and board exams are a big thing), I feel so unprepared but this video helped me calm myself down a bit thanks alot!
I'm so glad you posted this! I've been struggling to keep up with school and my mental health has been down and I've been trying to find for videos to help with that, and I must say you're literally a lifesaver for this!!😭😭😭
Thank you Faye. Really. There are small and strong messages in your video. I loved how you showed the little thing about increasing the focus time from around 5 minutes to 15 minutes, which felt so accepting of the times that it does happen when it seems impossible to focus for longer durations. The point about pounding ourselves over something which hasn't happened yet and being in the moment. basically i related to whole video and i think most of us do realize all these points but it becomes difficult to recall all these things when you are just not in the right headspace, and in those times your videos are crucial and help us all back to present.
I stress about future a lot, whether i would be able to achieve all my dreams and it feels hopeless when stress takes over . Specially when you get in overthinking loops and hence procrastination.
Thank you so much for making this video. It’s really helping knowing that I’m not the only one struggling with depression and anxiety. This video has inspired me to keep studying while still not feeling guilty for all what I’m going through. Thank you once again ❤
Thank you for the sweet message in the end, Faye! I tend to feel stressed when I see my friends doing really great in non-academic activities like university organizations, committees, voluntary work, etc. I had zero experience like that in high school, so in university, I'm trying to catch up and build my resume. At times I feel proud because I've joined some organizations, volunteering activities in and out of school, and committees in the past year, but I've always held the position of staff and nothing higher because I don't feel like I'm qualified or good enough to take on higher positions. I know (and I've had a friend tell this to my face) that I can't stay being a staff forever, but it's just so hard to take another step further out my comfort zone when I'm already way outside of it. I feel scared taking up higher positions in committees and organizations and sometimes I break down in bed thinking I'm not good enough. I'm scared of leading people, I'm scared of delegating tasks and trusting others, I prefer doing the work all by myself, I'm scared of the commitment and the consequences if my team messes up. But I'm more scared of not improving.
I tend to get stressed when I think of the expectations I have to meet and the people I don't want to let down, up to the point that it clouds my judgement on if I should be doing what I am doing right now in university. But keeping that aside, Thank you for this video. I believe you have shown me steps I can start to try and apply to figure out things one step at a time. And your special message made me tear up because it means a whole lot! Thanks Faye for touching on this topic! Its always so satisfying to watch the videos you make! 😆Looking forward to more in the future!!!!🤩
you are so amazing, this has helped me so much, not only with studying but just because I’ve been super anxious, thank you ❤
this video was genuinely helpful! thank you for being you
I got tearful when faye gave the last message. Thank you for being proud☺️
I think this is my all time favourite video from you, because you show us,that everyone can get overwhelmed. And that it's okay if it happens sometimes
thank you so much about the part reasuring me that people do care, they just dont have the energy to be themselves and be there for themselves.
i really needed this cause im really anxious because i have a test in a month and im leaning 2 years of work in 5 weeks.. and ontop of it im depressed. so thank you so much for this vidio, it made me feel seen.
As someone who's been struggling with mental health, I love these! I would also add that a lot of American Universities have accommodations, like extended deadlines and attendance flexibility, available to those of us who struggle with mental illness. It honestly made school much more manageable since I know that even if I cant get out of bed somedays for lecture or if i'm behind on a project, I just have to shoot them an email and keep trying :)
I'm seriously SO SO very grateful you are here faye, honestly without your help I would've already gone into a hole from which coming back wouldn't be easy. LOTS OF LOVE!! 💖
You're really like an elder sis for us! Your advices are so practical and helpful.
Love you Faye ❤️
your message at the end of the video made me cry , i've been trying but this depression just stole so much , thank you. Thank you so much for being the most selfless youtuber i've seen , a bit dramatic but i am crying rn so lmao i can't help it.
Thank you so much for your video and you kind words, I really needed it.
When you said to don't compare myself with the version of myself that was "fine", that hit me so hard like I always blame myself for not being okay more than before (because I am not okay for a really long time), and just realised it.
I've been struggling with myself like for the half of my life and 4 years in Uni made it much worse. I sometimes think that if I am like that right now when I have financial support of my parents, than I won't make it in like adult life, I just won't survive. And it's peaking in exam period because the rest of the semester I distract myself with escapism. So, I hope following your advices will help me to prevent me from hating myself because of not studying.
You really helped, I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for you. Thank you so much one more time, hope you'll get better, too, sooner or later!
She literally care for us so much❤ always aware about that what we are struggling about🥺 thank you so much fayee we love you so much💕
Perfect timing, I have gone through a rollercoaster of emotions today i guess it's PMS, I just finished crying for hours for no reason and I have to study for my test now.
Whoever going through hard times please take some rest and breathe bae ❤️ it's okay to just breathe and exist somedays.
thank you so much ❤ I've always felt like there was so much that I needed to do and now after watching this, I am trying to make everything easy on myself
Not me ugly crying right now after hearing your message😅😭 Thank you so much for this video because this is exactly what I needed. I'm currently going through a hard time with uni assignments and dealing with irresponsible team members. Hence why I'm stressing so much now. But after watching this video, I feel much better and have decided to take things one at a time. Thank you Faye! God bless U❤️
I prefer to be alone rather than being around others as I enjoy my personal space and I don't have to behave in a particular way💚💚💚
I can only imagine how much courage it took you to make this video. I could literally feel those hands shaking of yours. Sometimes too many things happen in your head than in reality. It's good to sometimes set back and relax a lil for your own well being. Thank you for sharing with us ❤
I didn't expect the raw and real emotion at the end...I feel like I always pretend to be okay when im not... I want to create a better and healthy studying space for myself thank you!!!
You are a very wise young woman and thank you for sharing your hard earned wisdom. I am not a student but this has helped me tremendously as a mother, so I can be more understanding. I wish you and all the others who are struggling, every success and keep at it, you will get there eventually!! Hugs to all and everyone take care.

I had to pause the video 2-3 times to stop myself from crying because I’ve been searching on this topic but didn’t find anything helpful. It is very relatable and Faye, we’re also very proud of you. Thank you for this video. Don’t make it too hard for yourself. You got this!💗
A very big Thank You!
This really helped and motivate me that much.
I also can't help to get emotional, and cry especially with your message at the end.
We all appreciate your efforts and kindness in making this video for us.
Thank You!❤️
I'm really appreciating the amount of support and confidence I gain from watching your videos! An important thought from this video for me is that I'm the only person who actually cares about myself and I'm the only person who is in control of how I want to feel myself today, tomorrow etc.
I'm really sad when my mom yells at me for bad grades, and for being lazy but she doesn't know what I'm going through and how hard is for me to study so much cause I'm in 5th grade and it's new for me, but you made me realize to never give up and to be proud of myself, I just love you and thank you for everything
i love how realistic your advices are!! i feel like i can actually accomplish something!
Reading the comments made me feel like I am not the only one who experiences school stress. i somehow felt that I am not alone in this. thank you smmm 💗
This video really made me cry my heart out. I had been stressing so hard these days just to get that perfect score so that I can get into a best university. But even after so many hardships I failed. I totally lost my mental health. I was sitting in a dark room with my headphones on and after watching your video I feel like doing it again one more time. Thank you for your advice. You made my day. 💚💚💚
This is for you Faye ❤
3 years of my college was horrible to me and I had a mental breakdown which I never want to recall I literally started to hate myself I felt that Iam not good enough I forgot my self worth respect and all..I took a break for a year to get over that, as I used to study well .. some people told how stupid I was to take a whole year break without taking post graduation ...But my priority was mental health at that point. Now I don't regret about that decision because I really get over the struggle within myself a lot...Faye Iam glad that you took such a topic ❤️❤️
10/10 good way of getting the information to my head and actually giving soil to my ideas on becoming the best version of myself. Thank you for that. I love the way you made the ads a part of your video: explaining the need and understanding how they feel annoying to viewers. This is my first video I've watched from you but you definietly made a good first impression. Your voice is also calming
what really helped me is setting up the unbothered mindset. I'm not stressed before exams anymore, which is why I've been doing better lately. I have more motivation to study and essentially enjoy the time I can spend with myself. It's a life-saver.
I'm going to follow your footsteps....If it's possible I'll keep you updated on my progress (Not because You would be curious but because I've to share it with someone+ it'll work as a booster for me🤭...hope you don't mind)
How are you both now?
@@user-kx4vn6jf8c right now i’m pretty burned out from the 1st semester but it was definitely the best semester i had. i had straight A’s this year, the first time since like 6th grade in primary school (i am now in 11th grade). the burn out situation is obviously not great, but it happens and it’s okay. my way of getting over burn out is to enjoy some time out alone or with friends (whichever you prefer), take yourself out on solo dates to the library, explore new cafes, buy yourself a new book, be the main character, get the food you’re been craving for ages and what’s the most important - physical exercise. releases dopamine, makes you feel so much better. take walks, go to the gym or do pilates. or all of the above. good luck🫶🏻
I get stressed about not doing enough I usually spend lots of time on one single task a lot and then I spent my whole energy on that one task . Not doing enough is always the top topic of stressing weather it be studies, workouts, friends, family conversation and lot of other stuff. Tbh I needed this and Faye we are proud of you 💗💗lots of love 💗
