Do you realize that you've got about 8K friends cheering for you out here? Do you think we're subscribing to schadenfreude over your nest?! No we're not! You're so charming, sensitive and clearly very creative, so there is no doubt you will climb out of that hill victorious soon enough. I speak on behalf of all of us: YOU GOT THIS! And we're all excited to see you win.
Thanks for sharing your photos and memories with us! You’ve done more than “clean” in the last seven weeks, you’ve organized, purged, and did regular life things…not to mention editing videos and connecting with an audience to boot! Your cousin doesn’t get it yet, but maybe she’ll come over sometime and help a little while bonding with her awesome cousin!
Hey Tracie! Don’t feel anyway because of your cousin’s comment. Take your time! You have accomplished soooo much, and if it takes 7 more episodes to complete your room, then that’s okay! We’re here for it. Your personality is amazing and I personally love how real & relatable you are and your content reflects that. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing great!!
Aww thanks so much! I'm just gonna keep trying to get it done. I've watched too much HGTV and whatnot...I thought I'd get it done in 30 minutes or less. LOL
I recently went back through all my journals dating all the way back to teenage years and realized they have all been woe is me and pretty depressing. I decided to burn all my journals. I realized holding on to those journals was me holding on to my depression. I decided to move on from all the lost, pain, trauma and all that. Whether it’s journal or pics If looking at it doesn’t bring me joy I’m burning it. Thank you sooo much for sharing this with us because whew I know this struggle so well.
Oooo, that does sound freeing. Most of my journals are about knucklehead guys I was with. 🫠 I think I stopped journaling because I don't have anything to talk about anymore. LOL.
Girl, I have a junior 1 bedroom apartment and my bedroom, my living room, my patio and some of my kitchen has taken me too long I don’t even want to type it. And it’s still not done. I just see more floor space. It takes as long as it needs to. Your executive functioning has been hijacked so you’re working uphill. Hang in there!
I just donated a whole bunch of stuff to my thrift store today. It feels so much better! I can see the floor in places again 😅 it is both motivating and daunting to know I still have more to go. You're doing great!! I'm here with you! We got this.
Girl, I don't think anyone new what to expect from a series called Depression Nest LOL. I don't really care where the series goes honestly, its enough for me to see someone trying and struggling but continuing despite not feeling like it. Its like a capsule that I can return to when I don't feel like doing something and see.....man, she went through that entire box and I'm still sitting here. I didn't really expect it to get into organization too much but its a cool area to move into if you need idea of what to do. I'm gonna watch it regardless. In my mind (and this is not intended to be shade), I thought something like this series would have multiple seasons over the years and each time, they'd get shorter and shorter as you get further on your journey managing depression. We love your honesty and content and you don't owe us anything but we appreciate you!
I think in my pie in the sky vision, I imagined myself getting happier and happier as my home got clean, and then I would reach out to other depressed folks to help them in their journeys.
I’ve been there and I know you’ll get through it. The hardest thing to do is de clutter. When my place was a mess I could empty 5 trash bags worth of ‘stuff’ and still have a junky room.
You are so right in decluttering first before organizing. I feel like once you get the bedroom done it might give you a second wind to continue on. Just keep it up, we are cheering for you!
1. Thank you for editing the smacks! As soon as you mentioned smacking I thought it Tamar Braxton. I really enjoy these videos, so thanks for taking the time to take them out. 2. As far as your cousin, some times people think constructive criticism is encouraging, but according to your mental space it can lead to a shut down. You’re doing so good and we see the progress. Keep going at your own pace and you’ll get there. Celebrate the small wins and that you’re making progress.
She ain't mean no harm, she's just like HURRUP. lol. And whew...you never really know yourself until you have to spend hours editing you talking. I do so many weird things, I would actually stop watching if I were y'all. 😆
Right when you inserted that courtroom clip, I was thinking “Aht, aht, aht, respectfully cousin, no judgment allowed here”! Hopefully she didn’t intend it to be that way but please know that what you’re doing is apart of the process! And YOU and YOUR process creates the timeline! Keep pushing forward! You got this Tracie! I’m rooting for you and I’m so proud to know you! We’ve let this snow creep in before we had another meet up! 😩😩😩
I'm trying to be gentle with myself on the timeline, but I also understand that I'm posting this on TH-cam as sort of entertainment and it just can't keep going on and on in the same room. 😩
Just keep swimming and take your time. This is not a sprint, so allow yourself to accept grace. Also, there is no need to apologize to us about how you are feeling. We are here to support you and see you through this project.
Hey TracieMae, I’ve followed you since 1000 cranes days. I even watched your web series. You’re also the person who gave me the great idea for the sip and swap. I’m rooting for you! Proud of your bravery. You can do this girl! God got you!!!
Stay in your lane Tracie, you got this! Your cousin is running in her own lane. Her opinion is none of your business 💯 one task/area at a time! That’s why my hubby tells me and it helps me put things in perspective
Hey there I like your cleaning video also I like how you keep your old picture of you and your mom from your birthday party. It’s so nice to keep your old memories. I’m a guy that likes cleaning videos and thanks for sharing.
No matter what I'm doing, I will stop and watch your new upload. Girl...time is just a social construct....isn't that what they say:) Take as long as you want...we will be here rooting you on. Not sure if they do this in your area, but the Salvation Army allows you to schedule pick ups online (they even pick up furniture). There are also some Veteran organizations that do the same. So just in case you don't make it to Goodwill, you can always have them come to you. Love ya💛
Yes! I did this one time. It's hard to get on their schedule out here, but I definitely need to schedule a pick up this time. I have a lot that needs to go. Thanks for reminding me!
Hey Tracie! new subscriber here! wanted to say ive basically been rotting in bed all day and binged your whole series! I absolutely love it because you are literally taking the words our of my mouth,. I promised myself after I finish rotting and watching this series Im gonna clean up my current depression nest 😅 so thank you for the motivation. Im gonna get to it, one corner at a time lol!! 💕
Aww, I'm glad I could serve as a little inspiration. Just know I'm over here not wanting to do any of this as well! We're in this together. We got this!
I’ve been telling myself im gonna shampoo my carpet for a year. Bought a shampooer over a year ago. It hasn’t been used lol 🤦🏾♀️😭 Don’t beat yourself up 🫶🏽
That's alright, because when your cousin is struggling with something that gets out of hand, you'll have the tools to lovingly show her how to get her space or situation back on track. 🤷🏾♀️ It's hard, but try not taking those type of comments to heart. (Also, you and this knuckle sandwich voice is giving Katharine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby! Your comedic timing is everything 🤣 Keep that light!)
I don’t think you should ever throw away any of your journals though. I think it’s dope as you get older to look back at who you were at different points in your life. Also, since I see the break is over, lemme get back to this closet 😫
The stuff being laid out in your space day in day out will affect your mental. It needs to leave the space. I emptied out my closet and bedroom and it affected me and makes everything harder. Even if you drop off 2-3 donation bags at a time it changes the energy for the better. The soooner you donate vs sell will make it go faster and you will avoid further making it harder on your emotional health.
This is pretty relatable and you're very funny and entertaining, especially the amazing intro! Luckily I've been able to limit my own mess to a depression desk😅. Keep up the good work because i know you can do it!
Hey Tracie! I don't know if anybody mentioned this in previous videos, but have you thought of hiring a professional organizer to come in and assist you. I know the app Task Rabbit offers this service. Maybe they can help you feel less overwhelmed ❤
I've hired a couple of organizers in the past and basically you're paying money for someone to watch YOU go through your stuff. They can't tell you what to keep. So it's just awkward. It wasn't my cup o' tea. I found one girl I really like, but for the money....I can do it myself. Slower for sure, but FREER. lol.
I was rooting for you. After you didn’t post yesterday, I said, “She didn’t quit. She’ll post soon.” And lookie lookie!! Have you considered getting a professional to help you organize after you’ve finished sorting? BTW, my autistic son loves your intro 😆 I’m sure his teacher will asking me why he keeps singing “Depression Nest” 😆
I JUST GUFFAWWWEDDDD! Not the baby going to school with the Depression Nest theme song. LMAOOOOO! So that's actually a good idea, like after I've kept everything I'm going to keep, have someone help me put it together in a way that makes sense. I like that idea. Before, I've hired people to help me do the decluttering part and it was still me doing everything because they don't know where things go. LOL. I def like your idea better! Thank you!
Also, thanks for knowing that I didn't give up! ❤️

It’s funny…last night I was wondering what happened to last weeks episode….i really have to start unsubscribing to a lot of the channels that I no longer have interest in because I tend to miss the uploads of the ones I look fwd to. Sorry to hear that u had someone walk out on you, especially when you’re making an effort to get to a better place. You not wanting to do anything is normal…you’ll have good days and bad days and you don’t have to apologize to us for not being in good spirits…your show is called “Depression Nest” not “Happy Haven” Also ppl who don’t understand depression or have not gone thru what you’ve been thru will see certain things differently… this process is to go at your pace no one else’s. Ppl need to be mindful of certain things but unfortunately sometimes they’re not or have no clue. One day at a time… u can do this. ❤️
Smack away! I love your channel and your personality! I’m also dealing with grief and losing pretty much everyone who loved me and I’m taking care of my demented mother who didn’t raise me and a son who since 15 y/o has been suicidal. TracieMae, you should see my house! I wish, I can have a fiend like you that we can just talk and cry and drink adult beverages and help each other. I’m in a suburb of Cleveland, OH. When are you coming over? Are you INFJ? I’m getting those vibes from you!
I haven't taken that personality test in AGES. Let me take it again and I'll back and let you know. I feel like that sounds about right though. And allll the people with their own depression nests never live anywhere near me. 😩 Also, keep your head up. Your day-to-day sounds stressful AF. Just keep swimming depressedty bestie.
@@traciemae ok, I’ll be waiting for the test results! Take your time! Thank you for words of encouragement! You have a lovely personality and I’m rooting for you to be as happy as possible! You are so creative! Please, take care of yourself and step by step, day by day like you said “just keep swimming”.
Do you realize that you've got about 8K friends cheering for you out here? Do you think we're subscribing to schadenfreude over your nest?! No we're not! You're so charming, sensitive and clearly very creative, so there is no doubt you will climb out of that hill victorious soon enough.
I speak on behalf of all of us: YOU GOT THIS! And we're all excited to see you win.
Lemme google schadenfreude real quick........Oooooooooo, that's a GOOD WORD! hahaaa! Thank you so much! I'm just gonna keep going. I have to.

Your cousin doesn’t get it yet, but maybe she’ll come over sometime and help a little while bonding with her awesome cousin!
Thank youuu! She asked to help and I declined because I think she just gon tell me to throw everything away. 😩
Your theme song makes depression nests happy places!
Aww thank youuu. Had to bring some levity to it. ☺️
