thank you for this video and for opening up. Everyone has struggled in life and usually it's easy to just give up. For me, I've been through a lot and what keeps me strong is the realization that all these shall pass and I have God who is there for me no matter what.
Oh my so sorry about your journey. It's so sensitive and important for everyone to take care of their mental health. There is definitely a stigma, but I always feel that regardless we should really be fully aware of how we feel at all times. Taking breaks definitely help as well 😊💕
I wanna thank you for being so brave & transparent babe. I know putting yourself out there is super scary not knowing what people are gonna say (& if anyone gets outta line you send them my way 🤜🏾😉). I can only imagine taking care of little humans all day most be tough. Especially more then one lol. I bet it’s hard as heck for a kid to kinda be stuck in the house for the most part of the day. And I’m sure you have to deal with that frustrated super energized kid. I totally agree asking for help when needed. I know it’s hard for some people.
Thank you Andrea for opening up. In April I was struggling and it was a dark time in my life. I wish there was no stigma on getting help. Counseling for me has been amazing. I hope I could go back to counseling in the future.
My dad was a Psych major and he still has anxiety and depression issues too! Just because you know the signs doesn't mean you are immune to it! Its good that you recognize that!
I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar 2 when I was 17...but I remember having my first panic attack at 12. I just didn’t have words for what I was going through then. You’re definitely not alone. 💕
I had similar anxieties as a child. I had an uncle die of prostate cancer when I was 6 and I remember realizing we were all going to die and how sad it made everyone when HE died, so I constantly worried whenever my parents were out of sight because I just KNEW I was never going to see them again
I had a miscarriage in April 2018, and another in November 2019. I talked about it A LOT on FB and to irl friends because I needed to get it out, and I was shocked how many women around me had gone through similar issues.
I love you so much friend! Always here for you if you ever just want to bullshit talk about the birds or the bees or just send random gifs for each other ♥️
I couldn't agree with you more. I had anxiety attacks when I was younger and I was put on Paxil. I didn't like it so I got off. When I was pregnant with my son 3 years ago and was anxious my doctor put me on Zoloft and I've been on it ever since and I love it! I also think everyone should have a therapist lol!
There is a stigma. It’s crazy and it took me a wile to finally open up with my doctor. He listened but told me to go counseling. :/ thanks doc! Hopefully my anxiety will allow me to do this soon, it’s already been 8 months since then.
My anxiety got so much worse after having kids!! I would check if they were breathing non stop like you said I didn’t want anyone else to watch them because I was afraid something would happen to them. I always imagined the worst.
They put me on Xanax for the anxiety and I think Zoloft for the bipolar? It was almost 20 years ago. I hated it. I switched to a cognitive behavioral therapist and she showed me so many techniques (breathing exercises, self care, etc) that helped me learn to cope with things better so I could get off the meds
My son has nonverbal autism, and will likely never live independently. I feel like I spend a lot of life dissociating and trying to keep my mind busy because thinking of the realities of our lives is just too much for me to handle
Yes!!! It’s nothing to be ashamed of❤️
This was incredible. Love you Andrea ❤️
love love love you!!!!
Hi hi hi! Thank you for being so open with us and being vulnerable.
YES. we need to end the stigmas! People do NOT talk about it enough

Oooh girl, I AM HERE FOR THIS. ❤️
I obviously can’t imagine how stressful it can be to have kids. But I see how hard you and all our other friends work every single day ❤️
Yes yes yes!! 🙌🏻 Having alone time to go do something for me and also keeping myself busy helps my anxiety so much.
You are so strong. And a great mom!
Therapy is SO helpful
Thank you for doing this with me❤️

It’s good to know you are not alone. Because it does feel like that most of the time.
Hi!! I am so proud of you for sharing all of this!
Thank you 🤍🤍

That’s great you found something to help with your depression.
love your makeup!

You are so strong for being so vulnerable
I agree, there’s never going to be a cure for mental illness. Only ways to manage it and cope with it
I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar 2 when I was 17...but I remember having my first panic attack at 12. I just didn’t have words for what I was going through then. You’re definitely not alone. 💕
I loveee that saying
Yesss this quarantine time is SO difficult and made anxiety so much worse
Yeah same, about having time for therapy or counseling. I don’t have time for that. Especially if i’ll have to drive 30-40+ minutes there as well.
So brave of you to share your story. 💕
Keeping myself busy helps me as well!
I love how we both wanted to portray the same message of “you’re not alone” without even knowing lol
Time away helps me so much too and keeping myself busy. My coping mechanisms are for sure interrupted due to quarantine
Your strong for making a video like this!
hi its your best friend on her husbands account again! I love you and so proud of you for this video! k byeee
That’s so scary, when you have an anxiety attack but don’t know what’s going on
I think that happens to so many people with therapy, the first therapist people see isn’t the right fit for them so they just give up
I had similar anxieties as a child. I had an uncle die of prostate cancer when I was 6 and I remember realizing we were all going to die and how sad it made everyone when HE died, so I constantly worried whenever my parents were out of sight because I just KNEW I was never going to see them again

Thank you for sharing this! I wish more people felt comfortable opening up bc sadly it’s so common and it can be so isolating 😔
I love you so much friend! Always here for you if you ever just want to bullshit talk about the birds or the bees or just send random gifs for each other ♥️
PPA was a huge part of my life and I still have some aspects of PPA
I couldn't agree with you more. I had anxiety attacks when I was younger and I was put on Paxil. I didn't like it so I got off. When I was pregnant with my son 3 years ago and was anxious my doctor put me on Zoloft and I've been on it ever since and I love it! I also think everyone should have a therapist lol!
You're so pretty!
Miscarriage is such a complicated thing. Its so hard to understand what is happening and why. And being an anxious person creates so many issues.
Definitely should never make fun of anyone at all!
I totally get that your anxiety stems from that!
Depression is so scary, and so difficult
Girl! Young living has CBD. it’s definitely on the more expensive side but you can use points to order it too!!
Yes, toxic people aren't worth it
There is a stigma. It’s crazy and it took me a wile to finally open up with my doctor. He listened but told me to go counseling. :/

You should email amazon and have them replace the ring light!

I’m so sorry you experienced a miscarriage. So many women go through that experience and it shouldn’t be a thing.
I’m very scared that I’ll have postpartum anxiety
So many doctors don’t understand mental illness or autoimmune disease very well.
My anxiety got so much worse after after having Stratton but turns out I had PPA
Deciding to try medication is such a tough decision.
Hiii friend ❤️
Zoloft is what helped me too.
Hello pretty lady!!! 👋
I’m sure you aren’t alone about one therapist not working out so they never went to another one.

It was NOT a lot of babbling ! Lol
