As a person who's getting depression and anxiety treatment, you're not alone. You did great by continuing. I love the rugs, paintings and stickers. Followed both on insta and youtube. Sending hugs
Ah thank you! I appreciate the support so much :,)
Depression and anxiety can hit SO HARD when it hits. I really appreciate that you're sharing that with us, bc it's such a vulnerable thing. But it's also relatable, and makes me (and a lot of others I'm sure) feel like we're not alone. I hope you feel better soon. Be nice to yourself, watch read and do things that make you happy. Congratulate yourself when you can get out of bed, or eat, or brush your teeth. Talk to yourself like you would someone you love when you can't. ❤
Thank you :,) I've been trying to do all of those things and be gentle with myself and it's been helping me feel better! I really appreciate your sweet comment, I came back to reread it a few times since I posted this video, and it brings me a little sense of peace and solidarity that I really needed. So again, thank you!!
Glad to know you found a place to draw figures from life! That's one thing we hear so many artists miss after art school, and it's sometimes hard to find access to live models depending on where you live. We'd love to see some sketches and to hear more about how the experience influenced your other art!
That's so true! I'm lucky to have a few different class options here in Salt Lake City, it's such invaluable practice that I wish I took advantage of earlier! I'll share some of my figure drawings here in a future vlog I'm sure!
Paused the video at 7:40 to type this comment. You are so brave bri. Thank you for being vulnerable and for sharing this with us, I hope all the love I see you have in the comments shows you you’re not alone and it helps us see we’re not alone too. You talking about your mental health struggles is word for word what I also struggle with. Depression is a thief. It hijacks your thinking. Keep going. Total strangers are so proud of you (me included hehe)
The comments here have been so so sweet, I was not expecting this amount of support. It took until today to feel good enough to reply to them, but I've been reading them and rereading them every day and it's helped so much to know i have solidarity. So thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment!
I get brain fog sometimes but it’s from sleep apnea. My wife had severe depression & anxiety so I completely get what you’re going through. Her treatment improved by going to see a therapist who came up with the right drug cocktail along with therapy sessions. It might be difficult for you being out in public but what helped me along with figure drawing was going out in public to a cafe. With a sketchbook Sketching the customers and people walking down the street. Since you’re comfortable in a con setting, maybe sketch people on your downtime.
Those are really good ideas! I do think it would benefit me to get out of the house more. I'm hoping my drug cocktail is right this time! Thank you for sharing, I really really appreciate it!
appreciate your shares about mental health. the guilt/shame over not being able to perform at the same level when we're in a slump/going through it is so real. my most consistent symptom has been brain frog and poor short span memory issues. It's not our fault because of how mental health is perceived - appreciate your mesage about you being gentle with yourself
Yes there is so much guilt/shame, when you let yourself compare to other peoples productivity, or your own previous success. But that is such a good analogy and I've never really thought about it quite like that! thank you for sharing :-)
hello beautiful bri! I know exactly how you feel. I suffer from depression and anxiety, and changing medication is AWFUL! I really feel for you and admire your vulnerability. I hope you're feeling a bit better and your meds have settled 💛 here's a reminder that no feelings are ever permanent and thing will get better xxx
thank you so much!!
Very unfortunately relatable feelings. I love you, Bri, and I'm glad you are here. 🖤
:,) Thank you for the kind words Nova
Depression is so trippy 🫶🏼 much love to the mentally ill girlies
I feel you - I'm sitting in a depressive puddle of mud for last months and I'm hating it. I'm taking meds since 2007 and I know it's exhausting. Sending you a lot of love - be good for yourself.
a "puddle of mud" is such a perfect way to describe it, omg. thank you for sharing & the solidarity :,) i really appreciate knowing i'm not alone!
when my depression was really bad I cried all the time, it's completely understandable and uncontrollable, I hope you start to feel better soon lovely ❤❤
thank you, I am beginning to feel better :,) It's nice knowing that there's so many people who can relate, i really appreciate you leaving a comment!
Loved this vlog, the one piece rugs are my favorite thing ever, and I hope you feel relief from your mental health
thank you!! i cannot wait to finish the One Piece rugs, I'll share them in the next video when they're fully complete :-)
Thank you for sharing something so personal! I definitely go through phases where I cry every day 🥲 I am sending good thoughts to you!
it's exhausting feeling that emotional!! thank you for the good thoughts, I'm beginning to feel a bit more leveled out
Thank you for being authentic!!!
I’ve never been this early!! Love your art so much. I’ve had some art block, so this kind of inspired me. :))
AW thank you for being here!!!
Totally know exactly what you’re going though with depression. Also me atm so don’t feel alone 🩷
Ah I hope it's gotten a little easier for you, thank you for the sweet comment!
I had to transition medication about a month ago and it was horrible (adhd & depression). I know EXACTLY how you feel. I dipped out of a few social things and I don't feel bad about it LOL. I just slept SO MUCH. You're not alone. Hang in there!!
This comment brought me so much relief a few days ago when I was feeling guilty about skipping out on things, so thank you :,) I hope you're feeling better now!!
I'm glad🤗 Much better now for sure. One day at a time sis!@@bri.forcier
Aww!!! Bri, it’s so wonderful letting us watch you making art and being creative. The music you put with your vlog is upbeat and friendly and suffice when you dont want to talk.
Is so nice that you are being you. Thanks for sharing with us. We love it that you do. Greetings from New Zealand and have a lovely day :)
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're liking the music because I always stress over that part! :)
Sending so much loveeeee as a fellow anxious gal, it’s very hard and please be gentle on yourself you’re doing great 💛
thank you so much!! anxiety gals unite >:)
Such a beautiful video thanks for sharing
Hello 🌸❤💐💐
Thank you for the inspiring video. Amazing that you managed to push through and create such great art even though you were feeling so rubbish . I hope you are feeling much better
Thank you so much, I am feeling SO much better! :)
Thanks you for share another artist vlog about you process, and I send you a big hug and good wishes, Depression is quite a complicated thing, but I know that you will improve little by little, you're going to be okay and we going to love everything you going to share with us
thank you so much for your nice comment :,) I appreciate you!!
I was so glad to see you uploaded a new video 😊
When you talked about the social anxiety and over analyzing things you might have said or did, and the awkwardness of it all, I related so much to that. It's hard sometimes but what matters is you keep showing up and fighting. Going to the figure drawing class was a huge proof of that. You did it anyway and it turned out to be super cool. I should do things like that more frequently because it does help to overcome some of the anxiety; at the end it went well and you loved it! I'm proud of you 😊😊
Thank you so much! Going to the classes and doing the social things was really tough in the moment but I am glad I did it. Since then I've taken some time off from forcing myself to go to things, but it was so nice to know i'm still capable of difficult tasks even when my depression was at it's worst. Thank you for the kind comment! I've been rereading all these comments every day and it's been helping me to feel like I have a community even when I feel really isolated :,)
I feel you and I hear you❤ be gentle to yourself❤ feel better soon ❤ was waiting for littletinyegg cameo, because saw you in her vlog 😊 so cool for 2 of my favorite youtubers to hang out together 🎉
AW that is so sweet, thank you!!
I'm behind on watching your videos, but you're amazing Bri! Proud of you. Your videos are very cozy and relaxing, and you're a talented artist. Miss ya!
That's so sweet Megan, I miss you too!! I hope you're having a great start to autumn in Ely!
oh man, i'm sorry to hear about the ssri struggles! i weaned off mine in 2019 and it took me like six months before i felt myself again T_T i hope you feel better soon! take it easy
I keep having to remind myself that it might take a few months before I feel back to normal, but it's so tough to be patient! Thank you :)
Hey sweetie! I know depression and it can be crippling! Keep telling yourself it will be ok and I hope you’ve leveled out and feel better! Love your vlogs and your art!
thank you so much!! It's starting to level out and I'm feeling a little better already :-)
Dang. You are so productive. Inspiring!
oh thank you! reminder that i don't record my down-time or bad days very often though haha, it always looks hyper productive once i put all the clips together :)
Your aesthetic✨
I totally know what you mean, when I tried to stop my meds I basically lost a year of my life 🥲 even changing medication can be really heavy, I hope you’re doing better now!
I've been so worried about that! It's one of the busiest times of the year for me, too, so I'm worried about how it'll effect everything I have going on. But I'm hopeful! I hope things have gotten easier for you!
@@bri.forcier Everything got a lot better when I restarted medication and now I feel great and will probably even be able to handle a job :) I hope things go well for you! It still depends from person to person, as long as you have things that can distract you you should be fine I think!!
You’ve got this Bri, you’re doing amazing & you are amazing ✨🍀💘
:,) omg i appreciate you!
Sending you good vibes and positive thoughts
thank you so much!!
The rug is awesome.
You're not alone ❤
Hi bri, unfortunately I can't leave the house to actually pick up my new antidepressants, I have depression and anxiety and it makes me not leave the house very much , actually was fired from my apprenticeship because of it. I want you to know you are not alone, I will support you always, I do also cry randomly and get migraines 😢, I don't know you but I love you 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾❤️, we will get through this, also I taking a new SSRI aswell and hopefully this is better, my brain never let up and so they're inquiring about ADHD possibly 😕
Ah I relate to that so much. I use Walgreens now specifically so that they can mail my prescriptions to me otherwise it's SUCH a struggle. Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone, and I hope things get easier for you!
Depression is a real c u n t . It's crazy how in the same moment that you're happy to have your first sip of coffee, you're also thinking about how to end it all. I hope your medication levels out soon and your body's chemistry starts not feeling so wacky. I've been thinking of taking figure drawing classes, so this was definitely motivating. Thank you for sharing your art journey and being vulnerable with your mental health (you're definitely not alone, but I know it's tough because it feels like it
⊹⋛⋋( ●´⌓`●)⋌⋚⊹ !).
You should totally try a figure drawing class!! Thank you for the sweet comment, I am starting to level out and all the nice comments made such a big difference on the really bad days
meds changes are rouuuuuuuuuuugh. i hope things become a little gentler soon ❤️🩹
thank you so much! it's gotten slightly better, and i really appreciate your comment of solidarity :,)

Side effects from the 🥕you're not alone.
0:38 🖐️ I relate. #neurodivergent probs.
My mental health is done. I’m going nowhere fast. My iPad just fried on me. My bank account is drained. Im a burden to my parents. Im losing everything and my dreams will never come true at this point. I’m ready to go.
I understand how you feel, you're not alone and you are NOT a burden. I hope things get better for you! Please feel free to reach out to me if you ever want to talk
Thats awesome you are exploring different art mediums, I am trying to do the same
