    I cannot love this enough. I do think these years where our hormones start changing at the same time people that we love or that dotted our youth/lives start passing bring up so many feelings. We start to realize time is never going to go back or even pause so we can catch our breath. The complicated relationships we have…and most are…aren’t going to have some magical resolution. Closure usually doesn’t happen, and we see that time is up too soon. Sometimes we don’t get to tell those we loved what a significant impact they had on us good or bad. We can’t go back and change anything or be the person we started out as.
    I think a lot of us have felt like you are, and I do think the pandemic made it amplified. I am in my 50s, and I went through this starting in my early 40s. I can’t say it has passed, but I do feel more resigned to the fact that this is a part of life especially as we hit midlife. I now have some classmates who have died or have serious diseases they are fighting. Someone loses a parent weekly it seems. While those don’t bring issues up in my mind, they hurt and make me very aware of the tenuous grip we have on life and my own/my husband’s mortality; our parents are passing and we are next. Life sometimes takes little pieces of you before it comes for the rest of you. During this time, we get to a place in our life where we have built a wonderful life for ourselves sometimes due to and more often despite of our childhoods. We have come into our own and whatever happened to us we truly are able to say out loud was wrong. I hope you see that as a strength. I would suggest therapy, but also to sit in the sunlight each morning in the meantime. Name all the blessings individually you have that you are grateful for. It doesn’t have to be a religious exercise, but it can be. Spend ten minutes soaking in the sun and being grateful. It will make things seem brighter. Thank you for this video.

      Thank you SO MUCH for commenting and sharing all you shared🙏👏 I am so grateful, and I couldn't agree more. My husband is turning 59 next week and he said "Once you adjust to being in your 40's, before you know it, you'll be in your 50's" lol. No matter what, it's about being grateful every day to be alive and have another day with your family🙏 My husband has been walking 10 miles a day (even during the winter as long as it's not snowing and roads are clear) and he spends that time with God. He prays, and thanks him for all his blessings. He has been doing it for 6 months now and he's a totally different person. Things in the world happening that would normally upset him, he could care less. He is now focused on the great things in life, not the negative. I am definitely going to try spending 10 minutes in the sunshine. Even if it's cold outside, if the sun is shining, I'll bundle up and do it. I didn't even think of that. I knew it had helped my hubby, but, I didn't want to walk 10 miles to do it🤪 Thank you so much for that suggestion, and again, taking the time to comment. I appreciate it, more than you know🙏👏 I'm going to Pin 📌 it to the comments so I can always come back to it and read it❤️ Have a great weekend, my friend💋

    So I have a PhD in psych and I’m a psych professor. What you are describing is depression. We all experience it to some degree. No, not always to the point of meeting diagnostic criteria, but that doesn’t mean you don’t suffer if yours isn’t that severe.
    Therapy would be amazing for you. You don’t have to have a diagnosis to get therapy. Just dealing with stress is enough. But you need to have someone help you deal with the trauma of your upbringing and the stress you feel now. Learning how to deal with things will be such a help! You need to put yourself first. Focusing on yourself helps you be a better support for others ❤
    You aren’t alone in this!

    Allow yourself to heal and grieve. There will always be pain and suffering in the world, but don’t minimize your trauma just because it’s not relative to that of what is going on in the world. With faith you know that pain and suffering bring about compassion. You have a plan and purpose but trauma will always surface and manifest in some form or fashion. May God bless you and take time to enjoy the beauty of your own personal life and embrace the memories you shared. We are here for a short time but your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Sending a big hug - I’ve been a Counselor for over 20 years. God bless you.

    I relate to a lot of what you said. I lost my mom and brother within 2 weeks of each other, 19 yrs ago and my dad, 8 years ago. Also all of my grandparents, aunts, and uncles are gone. I already suffer from depression and it has gotten worse. I also have health conditions that make everything that much harder. You have to find small things that bring joy and always be grateful for all you have. I like Nikki La Rose, she reminds me of Mel.

I’d highly recommend you do it. I didn’t for so long and then when I did it helped me so fast and so completely that I kicked myself for resisting it for so long. ❤

    Oh my gosh, its ok. You will be ok. Listening to you talk it's almost like hearing myself. I went through this same thing and a month ago I finished 16 weeks of therapy which really helped me. I could say so much bc it is all so recent and but the biggest thing I can say is cliche and thats be kind to yourself and accept that this is your time to reach out and receive help and support which is alien to you, not at all what you are used to but its what you need really. It feels so awful but you'll be ok. Xx

    I’m so happy that you’re opening up. It might feel very uncomfortable in the beginning but I know that there are beautiful lessons that you’re about to learn as a result of it.
    One of them being - what’s most personal often is most common.
    I see this all the time.
    When we’re immersed in our “problems” they seem huge. And when we finally decide to open up, we realize that we’re not alone and that there are many other people experiencing similar challenges.
    Talk about it. Please. For yourself and for all those women that feel exactly how you feel.

The BEST thing I’ve ever done for myself was intense counseling (do your research and follow your instinct when choosing one) I stuck with it for 1 1/2 years. It was so worth it in every way. It helped me work through all that childhood trauma and loss. It wasn’t easy. I think it will really help. I don’t like therapy but it changed my life. We’ve all missed your beautiful face!! I will be praying for you!! ❤😊🙏🏻

    I don't even know if you will see this, but I just listened to your story and oh my goodness do we have so so much in common. My grandmother is also struggling, she's in the final stages of dementia, and myself, my mother and my daughter are her care givers. The issue is, my mother and grandmother have also NEVER gotten along, and still don't. Because of that my grandmother made me her full power of attorney when she had her mind. I'm 43 and keep getting told to put her in a home, but I cannot turn my back on her. My gram was always my rock, my bff all the way until she was diagnosed and no longer had her full mind. As stressed as I am, I can't put her in a home. My father who passed away at 47 years young was also was my rock and best friend, and losing him affected me terribly and still does 17 years later. And to see my grandmother going through dementia, I feel like I've lost her as well. She's someone else living in the shell of my gram. But my gram and my dad were there for my brothers and I all through our childhood, so I truly despise what she's going through. This all being said, I too have been struggling with depression and anxiety. It's so much stress on our shoulders, and others in the same boat as us. Put it in gods hand, thats all we can do. I keep praying on the things I have no control over, god will see it through. 🙏🏼 God Bless you, and if you ever need to chat with someone who can totaly relate, please feel free to reach out to me! ❤ Stay strong friend, we've got this, it just might take some time to heal and get through what we have been and are still going through. P.s. I also can't stand the dark cold winters, I need to move to a warmer climate as well lol! Ny is no fun this time of year when you're already down and out! Xo friend, stay strong ❤ Amanda

I’m so sorry you are in pain- your grandfather sounds like a true angel and I’m certain he is still with you. You don’t need advice from a stranger, but what stands out to me is what a wonderful life you have created for yourself- your husband, your children, your friends… they are your reality and they love you for you- today. Let them love you, let them see your pain. I SO relate to your feelings of guilt and feeling selfish for hurtling. Boy do I get it. I have a different backstory but the result is the same: I’m not allowed to have problems or pain bc it is so much worse for others. I get it. We know better- let’s make sure our kids never feel this way! Bless you, hon. You will be okay.

    This was so refreshing to see you so open about your own struggles. As someone with clinical depression this resonates with me so much. One thing about bottling things like grief, trauma & pain is that it will all catch up if it’s not dealt with eventually. I encourage you to go speak to someone & purge all crap out of your mind, body & soul. Trust me it took me along time ask for help, but for me personally it was best thing I ever did. Good luck & God Bless 🙏🏻🥰

    I’m so sorry that u have + r going thru so much of life’s ‘down’ challenges. Tho we’ve heard it, it’s true… death is an enemy… whether fast or slow.
    Allow urself time to heal… ur health comes first bc u’re no good to urself nor to family otherwise. Don’t ‘fret’ over giving YT entertainment bc those who care, will watch u whether funny or solemn. I watch YT for realness… other stuff… sparingly. My dad told me that… like u, I have mentally pushed traumatic things… to the back burner (of my mind). Well they r somehow now, making their way to the forefront. It’s ok not to ‘hide’ the ugliness, bc u r beautiful regardless. The world is crazy, but it doesn’t minimize ur own so it’s ok to give it the attention it truly needs.

    You actually make a lot of sense. I definitely relate. I think you're a bit shell-shocked. And I hope talking about it helps you to reconcile the emotions. This has been a tough past 15 months for me as well, and I totally understand what you are going through as I too am usually the strong one. Hang in there! It'll take time.

    So glad you shared this. I’ve been struggling for a year and gained about 50 lbs and can’t seem to get out of it. Beauty TH-cam especially your Chanel helps. Praying for you and so grateful you’re here

      I'm so sorry you're experiencing the same thing. I've gained 10 lbs and counting as well😩 and I agree with Stacy. This has to be Covid related. We were all locked up in fear when the pandemic hit, and it seems it was the beginning for so many of us, and depression started creeping in😞 But, after posting this video, and reading the comments, I'm realizing, I'm not alone.. I also decided to book the appt with a therapist and it's so weird, but, as soon as I booked it, I immediately felt better. I didn't tell my husband for a few days, and when I told him, I felt even better. It's like these, baby steps in facing it, and hopefully, I can start to heal 🙏 Thank you so much for all your support, sending you lots of hugs and love❤️❤️ You're not alone🙏

    Thank you for opening up with us. Please know you're not alone. I know there's a lot, a lot of stuff going on in the world right now, but it doesn't negate your feelings. As you mentioned, I think speaking to a therapist would be really good. You just have to take that leap and do it. I know it's scary. From how I understand it, it's situational depression. Please know you're not alone, and we are all here for you.

    Tara-compartmentalization as a skill has its place but I always do better when I don’t bury things inside, however, every individual is different. Watching this has given me so much insight into what you’re going through…it’s making me realize how little I knew about you before. Thanks for being vulnerable & I really hope things improve & soon. You are in my heart, friend. Happy belated Thanksgiving to you & your’s♥️

    Awww Tara, I’m so sorry you’re having a hard time. It’s ok. Today (Nov 24th) is exactly 8 weeks since we lost my mom. Yesterday, Thanksgiving was the first holiday without her. And what you said, I said to my sister last night. Mommy was the matriarch of the family. What do we do now without her? It was very bittersweet, and my children, who are in their 20’s are VERY close to my parents. One thing I do know is that what we suppress will always come to the surface. I’m glad you’re letting it out. And we all know the horrors of the world (I just listen enough to keep me in the know), then I leave it in God’s hands. It works for my mental health. I depend on my faith 100%. Don’t ever diminish what you’re going through just because of what’s going on in the world. Your pain & feelings are important too. We love you. You take all the time you need. We’ll be here. ❤️

    We are always here for you Tara it doesn’t matter how long you need away, just waiting in the wings for your return. Your loyal subscribers will always support you and be prepared to listen whenever you need to talk to us because I am sure many of us can relate to everything you say. That guilt fretting about our own problems when there is so much suffering in the world presently I know, I do it myself but our own life worries and sadness is something we can deal with whereas there is nothing we can do about the fighting going on in the world. Be gentle with yourself and take your time, see a therapist if you think it would help that’s what they are there for and look into the mirror every morning and tell yourself what a wonderful human being you are! I’ve really missed your videos over the last few months you are so professional when reviewing a product and such a pleasure to listen to.🥰💜

I can share that counseling helping me process and grow. Part of you is begging to stand up and be heard and to nurture yourself.

    Hi Tara,
    Thank you for sharing what you have been going through.
    My parents passed three months apart 4 years ago. And bit by bit I was thrown into full blown depression. It sneaks up on you and you do pretend until you can’t any more. I actually felt suicidal but only for a moment. I learned that I have to fight for myself. I had to grieve my own way and for as long as it takes. I’m only now starting to feel better. I take walks and try to be kind to myself. Take the time to grieve and do things that make you happy. Take care, Lisa xo

  • @jt9058
    @jt9058 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I can relate to a lot of what you are saying Tara. I am also not close with my mom - not by choice - more of by circumstance if that makes any sense. I also keep things to myself and keep busy to distract myself from getting into my own head. A lot of what you say you do, I do too so I can relate so much. I hope you decide to talk with someone. Not because I think you need it, but you have dealt with a LOT of sadness in your life and talking about it may help. I miss Mel too, even though I was just a viewer of her channel but it’s amazing how much you can grow to love someone just from that. I love you and your channel too. We’ll be waiting for you when you decide to be here. I am just as happy when you post as it sounds like you need it too. I hope things start falling on your side Tara. Having the dogs sure helps though …. I got one again after mine tragically got hit by a car and I said never again, but here we are and I love having her around. ❤️ Take care Tara.

    Watching this video was like looking in a mirror. My grandparents raised me, they were more like my parents and I was also raised in chaos. Also what you're going through should not be diminished ❤ Depression also comes in different form, I've suffered throughout the years so try not to let it get to a bigger place that is harder to control. Prayers your way Tara, you're a strong women and i know you'll pull through.

  • @azureandersen9465
    @azureandersen9465 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Sweetie, thank you for opening up. What you are feeling, millions of moms and 40+ women feel. You speaking up of your feelings, really does free others to have a moment of a safe space to FEEL their feelings without guilt. You don’t sound like a downer, you sound human. The fact that you acknowledge others plights in the world makes you even more human. Also, being the giver, the family piler, it’s okay to release your feelings. So true about being in your 40’s! It’s when you get real about yourself! And there’s a lot of heaviness going on out there that weighs on a caring heart like yours, because you care beyond yourself. Also, you’re a sunshine girl! Darker skin like ours, needs more sunlight! You live in a cold climate like me, you body actually needs a higher dose of vit D 4000iu in the winters! Lighter skin needs less time in the sun. So we definitely get affected come winter months. Try to up your vit D through supplements AND omega 3 fatty fish oil enteric coated for absorption and you might start feeling a a better mood change. Avocados are also known to be excellent mood boosters. Combining diet, with releasing your emotions, and continuing to be vocal and open, you will get through depressing emotions! Lots of love! A

    I can relate to sooooo much of what you were describing. I am approaching retirement age with aging parents, and have struggled with life changes, etc. And, for a long time I felt guilty feeling sadness, if that makes sense. We all experience things differently, but we can all relate to one another. I am sending hugs and positive and supportive thoughts! So glad you are back to filming, but completely understand when you need some down time to take care of yourself.

    • @StaciLeaBeauty
      @StaciLeaBeauty 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I can relate too. Sometimes when I am happy I start to feel guilty about all the people that are no longer here due to the pandemic or all the people suffering right now. And also fear of what is happening in the world and what our future could look like.

  • @HaydeeSophia
    @HaydeeSophia 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Hi Tara 👋
    I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. Both my grandma and mom have passed away. We didn't have the smoothest of relationships but I miss them dearly. My mother had dementia and I remember her telling me that she learned what love was through me and it was heartbreaking to hear. I dream about them often.
    I also worry that I may experience what my mother went through and also now that I turned 50 this month I realize that life is truly short and that we must enjoy the little things in life, show our loved ones how much we truly care, self care is super important and building a strong relationship with our source and creator is essential for the overall sense of well-being. Also keeping in mind that to everything there's a season, we must feel in order to heal and keep a sense of gratitude for all the great things that happens to us.
    My heart goes out to you and what you're going through.
    Sending prayers and so much love your way 🙏❤️🕊️

I went through this also, but it was when I went through my first divorce around 20 years ago. 20 years seems like a long time, but in my mind it doesn't. I gained a lot of weight. I went through counseling with 2 Christian ladies who helped me tremendously along with the help of the Holy Spirit. I have been married to a wonderful man since 2012. I thank God everyday for where I am now. Blessings to you.

    I’ve really missed you Tara! I pray we see more you. I really relate so much with about just caring and giving to others so we don’t focus on our feelings. I hate feeling anything but joy and happiness, but then I don’t allow myself to be in pain especially in front of anyone. I always have to be that perfect person. Always the helper and the overachiever. I noticed I crave the praise and validation I get from others when I’m giving. But then I don’t allow anyone to give to me and get that same praise and validation. I’m kinda selfish when I think about it that way. I need to allow others the joy of caring and giving also.

    Minus TH-cam and the loss of a grandfather (other major losses instead); you are speaking my story. Compartmentalizing has almost been a blessing and a curse for me. I choose not to live in the places that hurt or upset me but at times those boxes burst open and I almost don’t know what to do with all of it so I sink inside of myself so as not to inconvenience someone else with emotion or stress.
