      I suffer from pretty extreme anxiety and thoughts of making myself no longer around. I greatly appreciate this video. I feel like God put this video before me to inspire me to not give up. To not make that final move. Thank you again, Mikhaela.

      @@DarthSlacker I am so grateful that this video showed up and gave you a sign to keep moving forward!❤️ As someone who has attempted to unalive themselves in the past, I know how much it hurts to feel that way and my heart breaks to hear that you’re struggling with that. Please please know that things do get better. I know it doesn’t seem like it now and I know the pain is deep but you are absolutely meant to be on this earth and I believe that with all of my heart. You did not beat the odds of 1 in 400 trillion of being born for nothing. You are a loved human being with unlimited potential. Please also know that therapy is a powerful thing as well and I would highly recommend it. I’ve been in therapy on and off all my life but recently started going again and it has been such a huge blessing and I am slowly healing wounds in my life I didn’t even know were there or ones I thought I had already dealt with and I’m on the path to a greater life. You can be as well! It takes courage to want more for yourself but I believe in you and I know you came across this video for a reason. Don’t give up. You’re meant to be here❤️ Sending you so much love and light❤️✨

      @@MikhaelaBryden I cannot begin to express how grateful for your kind words. It's not that I even want to be unalive, it is just that living with all this constant anxiety is pretty much unlivable. That being said, I trust you and your kind words and at least for now will continue to keep on keeping on. I have looked into therapy, just getting myself to make the commitment to get help is a struggle.
      I will pray for you, Mikhaela. I will pray that you continue to get stronger, to get healthier and that you will find your true path and that when you are on that path your life will be more fulfilled than you could ever imagine.

    I think your video will resonate with alot of people, Mikhaela. I am sorry you're going through so much right now and I wish there was a way to magically erase it all for you, but we all know that can't be done. Your choice of using your experience to help others struggling, is a good one. I'm very proud of you, Mikhaela.

    Good luck on your journey! I’ll be watching and following along. I relapsed on my sobriety journey last year on trail when I was in NorCal. Currently sober for 2 months and going strong! The trail definitely helps me stay focused and keeps me grounded. It’s my happy place haha Happy Trails!🎉

      So absolutely proud of you for realizing that wasn’t a path you wanted to continue down and having the courage to do what you know in your heart you need to. Sobriety isn’t an easy path to walk on but it is so worth it, and you are worth it. I’ll be watching your journey as you do your next trek as well. Don’t ever hesitate to reach out if you ever need to talk. Proud of you!

      I am so sorry you are feeling lost as well. I think a lot more people than meets the eye are feeling the exact same way. We can figure it out though and we can build a community while doing it. We need more authenticity in life instead of this facade that everything is going great, because clearly, it’s not. Sending you love and light🫶 Don’t give up. & Reach out anytime.
