Going to therapy has been the most difficult thing I've ever done in my entire life, but it also has been the most rewarding experience. When people say it has saved their lives... It's no joke. It has saved my life. You deserve help, you are worthy of support and the possibility of feeling good and enjoying things again. I love you Kat and a lot of people care about you, you deserve to see yourself the way most of us see you!
This is so beautifully and thoughtfully written. 🤍 I completely agree. So many people love you, Kathleen, and are rooting for you!
100% agree. Thank you Kathleen for ALLL that you do. Xoxox
Absolutely ❤️
I wish therapy wasn’t so expensive or was covered better by insurance. That’s my only complaint. Because of this, I confide in my mom who is my best friend a lot and many of my friends, as well as my boyfriend. Sometimes the best therapy is an amazing support system. However, I know not everyone has this or prefers something else. I’m proud of you for going to therapy and am so glad it has helped you. 💜
I did it in 2 minutes th-cam.com/video/cyfGFCWtZG8/w-d-xo.html
Honestly I think the hardest part for most of us was everyone expecting us to be able to bounce back into regular life after 2020. I am an elementary teacher and I can see in my students that many of them forgot how to focus for such a long period of time but the same expectations as before are still there. I think the best thing we can do for each other in 2022 is have some grace for each other and some sympathy for what our friends may be going through.
My sister is a teacher and yeah it was no rough. Plus I’m my state it’s still a mask mandate so working the beauty industry we can’t showcase lip product
Please make more videos
I hear you, I feel and amen! Children’s therapist from Mexico City. Let’s just be nice to each other
I feel like losing the ability to focus happened to me too.. this whole experience has messed with my brain for sure
Kathleen, I got to meet you in January of 2020 when I just happened to be in Florida. I told you how grateful I was for everything you share and that I was going to get help when I got home. You told me it was meant to be that we met and you gave me a hug and said good luck. I’m happy to share that I am still here. I got the help I needed and still am and it’s so freaking exhausting and so hard, but I’m here. You are such a beautiful woman and I know you’ll make it through. As someone beautiful and strong and amazing once told me, Good luck!! 🖤
OMG I love this ❤️❤️❤️ Girl you’re doing amazing! Proud of you!
i started crying when you talked about struggling with depression, that was so accurate it touched my soul. thank you for being so honest and open about it, we need more people to talk about these issues and encouraging others to seek help when needed🙏🏻
Kathleen don’t be afraid I myself take medication to help combat my anxiety depression. And absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. You can do this you got this 💕💕
I do too. Agree
I have severe depression and anxiety. I have never been medicated. What medications do you take
Absolutely love this video
@@LydiaDBeauty83 hi glad you reached out I take a prescription from my dr. It did take a couple of different ones to find the one that helps and didn’t make me sick. Please see your dr and speak with him.
Absolutely. I Hate the stigma against medication, because it literally saved my life, AND gave me my life back
ive had chronic depression my whole life and honestly the whole quarantine/ covid made it better because made me realize how many of us are struggling regardless of where we’re at in life, everyone become more real, a lot of people started their own business/ found happiness/ and my bf and i got back together and not just for our kids but because we realized we truly are best friends/ soul mates with all the time we had after losing our jobs and family passing away.. it’s all about perspective and we chose to focus on the positive together ❤️
You deserve happiness! I wish you all the best :)
Aww, I love this. I too have chronic depression. Proud of you 😘 happy for you, too!
So very happy for you❣️prayers and positivity for an amazing 2022 and beyond ❤️🥰
Same. I think for me it was having my husband and kids home all day. I felt less isolated than I normally do.
I have been watching you since I was 13, I’m 23 next month. You have helped me through some of the hardest times in my life, struggling from depression in my late teens I would binge watch your videos just to escape from the real world, I’m proud of how far you have come and I’m so thankful for you❤️
So proud of you for being brave and being open to medication. I feel like it has a bad stigma or we get afraid that it will "change us" but we shouldn't. It just helps us get out of those bad thought patterns and helps us become the best version of ourselves. Sometimes we all need a little help ♥️
Agree.
I love when you talk about mental health on your channel, because it makes a lot of us feel less alone when we're going through the same struggles. We love you Kathleen! Hope this year is a better one for us all! 💖
Meds and therapy have saved me... I was literally living in fear of everything all day everyday and I have an 8-year-old son and it was completely crippling me because everything scared me. So I got on some meds and I'm doing therapy and I'm feeling much better. There's a lot of support out there. Good for you for being an advocate for yourself. You're strong woman my dear
Wonderful advice -we are worth getting the help we need to heal. Being a Mom, you gave your child the best gift of all❤️
Seeking help takes courage- it’s not a sign of weakness but of strength. A blessing for ourselves and the ones who rely on us👍🏼🙏🏼❤️
@@sandybowers5085 That's exactly why I did it because I grew up in a really unhappy toxic home and a lot of the reasons why I am struggling with what I've struggled with my whole life... I've had mental health issues since I can remember and it's all about being proactive because nobody can help you unless they know how to help you. And it's okay if your kids see you cry or your partner sees you fall apart for a while. It's a process and it takes time so just know that you are being transparent in your video and obviously you have awesome people here leaving very supportive comments, you can climb out. I always tell myself to not unpack my bags on depression Island. It's okay to go visit for a while, but if I feel like I'm getting too comfortable and I'm going to unpack all my bags especially my makeup bag, then it's time to get help.
@@chelseaanne836 thanks you so much, Chelsea ❤️I agree with you, completely.
We cannot pour from an empty cup. I think the stigma around mental health is finally going away and allowing our voices to be heard. ❤️Reaching out for help is the MOST courageous thing we can do, for ourselves AND the people we love 👍🏼❤️🥰Thanks so much for your encouragement 🙏🏼There is so much wisdom in your words. I’m looking forward to to visiting that island less and less, and coming to a new place of peace❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel you with the “losing myself”. I still have PTSD from 2020 experience. Being a nurse and post partum blues together? Not a good combo. I like to film make up vids, it’s really my escape and I don’t get to do it all the time. Hopefully 2022 is better for all of us. Hope for the best for you my girl! Love you!
Just some encouragement for you Kat - the opposite of fear is LOVE. So the best thing you can do (and HECK yes to meds, therapy etc.) is family, your husband, your love for your companies, US your fans...the best thing to combat fear is LOVE. Surround yourself with love this year. Beleiving that for you in 2022 sister.
❤️👍🏼🥰
This is such a beautiful thing to say ❤️
Amazing. Really helpful and good.
Love love love love love love love
KATHLEEN WE NEED A YEARLY FAVORITES VIDEO!!! Please!!
going on medication this year changed my life. I was so scared to go to the doctor and talk about my anxiety but doing it was the best thing I could have ever done. Thank you for speaking up about this and always keeping it real! No one should feel ashamed to get help.
I defff agree with you that 2021 felt worse than 2020. Sending you lots of blessings and positive energy in this new year! Love you so much! ❤️
Thank you for keeping it real. These past couple of years have been so hard on so many people. Normalizing mental health discussions is so important.
My holiday was rough.. my grandma passed away two weeks before Christmas.. I’m with you when you said you wanna leave 2021 in the past! It really was a bad year for me too. You aren’t alone! Hope 2022 is better for us! Love you! Glad you are back! Missed you!
So sorry for your loss ❤️
So sorry for ur loss
So sorry for your loss, beautiful.

The way I would never wish the way I feel in the WORST person, but the comfort I feel in knowing someone else out there feels it too. Thank you Kathleen ❤️🩹
You helped me accept that it’s okay to have anxiety and take care of my mental health!! Love you Kathleen! Light squad 4Life 💛⚡️✨
You got this Kathleen! Therapy is scary, letting someone know who you truly are and the way you think is scary. BUT it’s been the most freeing thing that’s happened and it’s honestly helped those fears. We love you girl, I found you when you did that urban decay naked look of gold and fell in love with you as a person ever since! We’re here for you 💗
Gorgeous! You will love Encanto. I’ve watched it almost everyday and bought the soundtrack.
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. Sending you healing and positive vibes for 2022!
Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your mental health journey with your fans. It definitely inspires others to prioritize emotional and mental wellbeing. Best of luck in finding what you need to be your happiest. You are so strong!
Thank you for being so open about mental health. Therapy was always the scariest thing for me, but I just put ego aside and went and it had been one of the BEST things for myself. Also finding a doctor and the right medicine that works for YOU is helpful. It took me awhile to get the right mix but honestly it’s made me better. Of course I still have days but definitely not as bad as it was in the past. Positive Vibes on your journey to personal wellness! You’ve got this and 2022 is gonna be way better! ❤️❤️🙌🏻
Therapy has been what helped me get through this last year. 2021 was mixed I got engaged found my wedding dress, did a lot of things I wanted, but I also had to deal with toxic friendships and loosing a job and that whole depression, but my therapist helped me a lot. I haven’t felt this good in years, and I feel like I’m finally finding myself again. I wish you luck with accomplishing your goals Kathleen.
My dear Mumma passed away suddenly October 2020, 2021 was so hard to enter a new year and navigate life without my Mum and my bestest friend, Going into 2022 the 2nd year without her is very hard also. I'm hoping for a much better year, this year for us all. Sending love and light to you always Kathleen, your videos are such an escape for me (and I know for many others also!) and no matter how I feel, your videos always can help cheer me up ❤❤
Gentle hugs
praying for you!!
@@SabrinaHawk Thank you! Gentle hugs back to you ❤
@@gingerjess3441 Thank you so much!!
Many prayers and love for you❤️ I’m so sorry for your loss🙏🏼
Thank you for always being open about your mental health. It’s something I struggle with everyday and feel like I have lost myself. I’m tired of never feeling that I’m enough for the ones I want to be enough for.
Good luck on your journey ❤️
We love you Kathleen ♥️ Your sense of humor and authenticity are one of a kind. Cheers to 2022 and new beginnings 😘
Being a nurse is always hard during the holidays so it was hard especially because of the pandemic. So grateful still for my time with my family❤️
I totally get you on this. I had the same type of 2021. So much happened. None of it good. But I'll be sticking around to watch whatever you do, as I'm sure we all will. Thank you for being real. Sending much love xxx
Kathleen you honestly do not need to be so hard on yourself! This is YOUR channel. You don’t “owe” us a certain amount of uploads a week or a month, we just get excited when we see your face pop up in our notifications. It’s a delight if we get to see a video from you, but if we don’t, we know you are looking after yourself which is the most important. Leave the guilt behind in 2022 and do what best serves you! 💕
Girl, I couldn’t relate to you more.. i feel like everything you’ve just said is literally me for the past months/years I can’t even remember how long. But thank you for voicing out from your heart. I feel you.. sending you hugs and kisses and lots of love from Singapore. ❤️
I really appreciate you being so open about mental health. you’re amazing. i hope 2022 is filled with nothing but love, joy, & contentment for you & your family 🤍
2021 was rough, let’s leave it behind and be excited for all the blessings we will receive in 2022! Love you Kathleen 💞
Thank you for opening up to us, depression and anxiety are so hard to deal with. I’ve been in therapy for years and it’s both difficult & rewarding. Let’s all hope 2022 is a year of better mental health for everyone. ❤️
Kathleen! Purple looks so beautiful on you!!! You should use it more often! Love the video! sending love and positive vibes your way! ♡
Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable, it helps so much and makes other feel not so alone 🙏🏻🥰❤️
Happy New Year, Kathleen! 🎊
I thought the Friends collab with your nail polish would be a high point, since that's one of your favorite shows... I know it's easy to focus on the lows, but don't forget about the highs and the breakthroughs, even if they may be small. Love you!
Great advice, I got a planner for this year that has a spot to write what you are grateful every week.
In my experience finding a therapist you connect with and a medication that helps you is game changing. Having a support system around you that understands mental illness is really important also. Best wishes Kathleen. ❤️
We are in the exact same place, I can just tell by the way you’re speaking…sending you so much love, Kathleen. We can make it through 2022, together. ❤️
Also Kathleen, it is very encouraging and a good sign that you want to change. Bad people are not worrying about changing. You’re amazing as you are and to better yourself will only bring you good things!
I feel you so much about this past year. I almost let that light inside me go out. But I refuse to let it end like this or continue living in such a bad state of mind. I highly recommend Abraham hicks & a book called You are a badass by Jen sincero. Not saying they solve everything but they have given me tools to cope. Love you lots Kathleen
the first steps of actually researching for a therapist and going to that very first appointment are big reasons why starting therapy can be so challenging. Once you start going, it gets easier every single time. You can do this!!
Watching my husband go through what you go through has been a challenge for me I wish I could help him but I try my hardest. We will all get though this. Love you!!! And this look was BOMB!
Depression is hard. I’m on Lexapro 30mg & I can relate to everything you were saying about the “will to do” things. It’s a constant battle between mind and soul. I’m beyond blessed in life, I have a wonderful husband, job, home, transportation, clothes , food to eat & clean water to drink. However, I feel a deep sense of sadness & lost of interest in things. I need to beginning journaling again & incorporating some exercise to help boost my mood and overall sense of self and well being. Love ❤️ that you were open to share something so private. 💗💗💗💗
I'm always ready for a fresh new year. 2021 wasn't really bad for me, but it definitely was for someone I love very much & that was hard.
Speak it into the universe, Kat, 2022 will be amazing, amazing for you. I'm speaking it! 😉
You are not alone at all. I have grieved America as a whole and realigning my future and not what society wants. 💖
Mad love and don't forget to breathe.
Love you Kathleen!! ❤
I respect you for talking about your mental health. I think a lot of us can relate if you ever decide to open up more. I just started taking anxiety meds after being terrified to try them. I think they’re helping. I wish you the best of luck with taking care of yourself. PUT YOURSELF FIRST ❤️
Anxiety meds were a game changer. Life changing. I can’t believe it took me so long to accept them. I tried everything else, but wow. W. O. W. You do you boo, but as for the anxiety med: it was amazing and such a weight off my soul.
Love seeing Alamar cosmetics! They make my most favorite face brushes EVER. 🥰 I didn’t realize how crappy I felt until I got on antidepressants. Bless the dr that made me be honest and actually took time to listen to my mental health concerns. ❤️❤️❤️
Hang in there, Kat! You got this! Please take care of yourself, get a therapist and some meds. You deserve to be happy and to be free of the anxiety and stress. Sending you wishes for a better year ahead and wishing you health and happiness!! ❤️
I can relate to what you’re talking about here. Especially the part about almost losing yourself. I’m glad you’re trying to pull yourself out of the hole you found yourself in, I’m trying too! Thank you for still posting after all these years, missed watching you. Sending love 💕
You got this girl. Besitos.
So fascinating and informative
When she said she films for stress relief and to get away. I felt that ❤️🥺
I was always scared with meds before until I realized I was purposefully withholding medication that could heal, I just wasn't used to seeing it that way. I am so glad I changed my mind because 2021 would have been impossible without finding the right meds. I do go to a psychiatrist who only handles the medical part of my issues, so it helps me treating it like the illness it is. We all deserve some peace of mind 💜
YOURE NOT A MESS YOURE HUMAN. Kathleen we love you because you’re a real one. We love you for YOU. I go to therapy and I’m on Lexapro and I love them both. Just remember that no matter how low you get this world would absolutely not be a better place without you. Wishing you lots of love on your journey and sending big hugs from Austin, TX ❤️
Sending you some 2022 is gonna be better vibes. I've watched Encanto four times now. My grown kids are now starting to tease me because I'm sure as hell gonna watch it again! lol I love love love those colors!
Hi Kathleen! I have followed you for a few years now and love your videos! It always breaks my heart when you share your struggles. Someone so caring and wonderful to be so hard on themselves makes me sad. I just wanted to share with you that it's ok to be a fixed sign and cautious of change (or a bit introverted!)! That's something that makes you so comfortable and warm for others. It can cause a war on your heart chakra to want to change so much about yourself at one time. Please remember to love yourself, even the things you want to change have brought you to the successful person you are. Remember that you have a massive following of strangers! That is so difficult! You are lovable, special, and relatable. Not to mention the accomplishments you have made in your 20s! There is so much about you to be proud of! Your struggles and how much you strive to better yourself is also worth acknowledging in a positive light. I hope you find the perfect help for you
I work at a clinic and my coworker and I were talking about how much worse 2021 compared to 2020. She said 2021 was a dumpster fire and I have to agree. The holidays redeem the year because I got to spend time with my family.
Thanks for opening up about your struggle with depression. A couple years ago I got married, and like a week after that, I got hit with the worse depression, and what made it so hard, was there was nothing wrong with my life...like I couldn't blame it on anything, but that's exactly what depression does. Your life could be amazing, but with depression that doesn't matter. I dealt with it for 2 straight years, and finally got help, which was the hardest part, but once that help starts working, its the most rewarding feeling, and makes you stronger than ever. Depression is literally the hardest thing to describe to someone who doesn't struggle with it, or understand it. Glad you are reaching out for help!! YOU GOT THIS!! 💪❤👏🙏😊
So excited for this video!! I'm waiting for your 2021 yearly favourites.
“and it just piles on and piles on..” GIRL I FELT THAT 😢💕
"My face is darker than my body right? "
... no, actually it is a perfect match LOL
I suffer from depression and overwhelming anxiety... I relate amd understand what you go through during your lows. 😔 I hope you find, happiness and comfort soon because I truly believe that you deserve it, Kathleen! 🥰
Love this look and love you!!!!
This is really helpful
I'm so glad you are able to be open and honest about your struggle. I actually just recently made myself go to a therapist. I start tomorrow, I should be in bed, lol, but can't really sleep, but I'm excited. The office was really calm and positive. I felt much better after my initial assessment and talking to someone. They made me feel heard, not judged at all and willing to help.
It was overwhelming. I got in my car and cried, I felt hopeful for the first time in a long time. I hope you find relief. I hope you find an environment and a person you feel comfortable talking to. I'm sure it would help immensely. Good luck darling. I'll be thinking of you 💛 wishing you all the best!
2020 sucked for me, my Mom passed away in Feb unexpectedly and then Covid started. Shitty year😏 Last year wasn't great, but I'm hopeful this yr is better. That foundation matched perfectly 🥰 Hope 2022 treats you well❤
Same time frame for me but it was my father. These past two years have been hell for me. Sorry for your loss. ❤️
@@DestinyHopeLou I am so sorry 💖 It is a hurt I never knew, hugs to you💕
Kathleen, can you please do a tattoo tour!? I would LOVE to see all the ones you have & learn all the meanings behind why you got them & how you decided on their placement. That would be such an exciting video!!! 😁
so..... Kathleen, whens your next drama/mukbang video dropping? i know drama has dried up recently but im sure you can find something? 🤣 🙌 love you girl💗
Yes 2020 and 2021 have been difficult years. The isolation and the division make things extra stressful. You are a beautiful soul and much loved, Kathleen. Hang in there! We need to help one another during these turbulent times. Keep reaching out and don't give up! Love you!
We all have our own demons to battle, and the pandemic is making things even more difficult. I admire you for having the bravery to seek treatment. Hope you'll feel much better this year. We'll still be here supporting you:) XOXO
My mum has been through depression 3 times in her. Life and its so heart breaking to see her go through that but with our love, care and attention and of course medicines she came through 💕
I appreciate you sharing your struggles -your videos are a light for me and always give me a mood lift
The hardest part about therapy is actually getting there to begin with. You already took a step, now you just need to take the next. It is hard, and it will be a harder journey, but this is for your own well being. And if someone is worth fighting for, is yourself. You got this!
I believe in you Kathleen. You don’t go through years of anxiety and depression without developing the kind of strength you need to reach your potential. You clearly have a beautiful, pure heart full of kindness for others so turn that heart to yourself this year…no one deserves it more than you. It’s natural to be nervous of change but wow, when you’re free of your anxiety, you’ll be unstoppable baby girl and I can’t wait to see you grow ♥️
I recommend watching NDE’s. That gave me a lot of hope this past year when all felt very lost and gave me new perspective on life. I wish you health and happiness in the new year!! Stay positive! And watch Encanto! It’s amazing!
Kathleen: medication is LIFE changing. I used to be so scared of who I would even be without severe depression and anxiety…but I have learned that I am much MORE myself because I’m not so inhibited. I’m easier to be around
2021 was crazy hard! I’ve never felt so lost and I have already had a trip to the ER 8 days into 2022! I can’t survive another year like that so please 2022, be kind! Thank you for using your platform to share when life is just hard and shedding a light(sorry…couldn’t think of another word but hey, if it fits 🤷🏼♀️) on mental health.
I love watching your videos so much. You are so real and down to earth (also hilarious) but I really relate to your struggles so I appreciate that you share them with us. I hope you get the help that you need and are gentle with yourself. The moon is always round. It’s just a dark phase but it will be full and light again.
hang in there lady! Love the eye look! Post whenever you want. Doesn't have to be fancy or upbeat, just do what you feel. We love you!
I am 50 (almost 51) years old, and after living with anxiety my entire life, I finally started medication and it has changed my life. I now feel true happiness and even relaxation! I deserve it and my family and friends now get to enjoy the real me! And trust me, I am a HOOT! Go get the treatment you deserve, my dear.♥️
Hi Kathleen!! I’ve missed you so much! I love watching you & you bring me comfort. Love you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Medication has been life changing for me. It helped me to get back to my true self! My self before dépression and anxiety. Struggling with dépression and anxiety really takes a toll on your hormones and brain chemicals so don’t be afraid that medication will change you in a negative way. The right dosage makes such a difference and everything easier to deal with. Especially when you are a uber sensitive person 🥺
Happy new year Kathleen. I think we all appreciate your honestly and vulnerability. I know it’s not the easiest topic to openly discuss but I have so much hope that this year will be full of happier memories and healthy advances for you. Thank u for always providing such a vulnerable space for us. Your fans are here to support you in all the phases of your life. Sending you love!
I want you to know that I am right there with you & you're not alone. Listening to you open up about this brought me so much comfort. I love your videos so much and they make me so happy. I hope 2022 is better for the both of us, I hope we chose to put ourselves first every day of this year.
hi kathleen! i have really similar anxiety and depression to you from what i can tell, as do both of my sisters, and the type of therapy that has helped us the most is cognitive behavioral therapy. i’ve tried other therapy for years but CBT is life changing. it basically works on changing the way you think about anxiety and phobias rather than deep diving into your past to heal your trauma. i hope this is helpful and know that you’re not alone! as someone with the same obstacles, i appreciate your vulnerability with us ❤️
I really share in how you were feeling throughout 2021 and even though I’m still struggling, I want to make a big change for my greater good for 2022. I run my own business and although I do force myself to get out of bed to go to work and take care of my dogs and fiancé (making dinner, some housekeeping, walking dogs etc) anything else that I used to enjoy doing for myself feels like it’s gone. I don’t do makeup or take baths anymore which used to be a huge joy for me. It’s a struggle just to take a quick shower and keep up with my skincare. All I want to do is stay in bed but I don’t sleep well when I do. It’s a struggle to watch yourself fall out of love with the things that made you alive. I hope we all get back to doing the things that we love and feeling at home with ourselves. Love your channel and love you so much Kathleen!
Big hugs to you! Going to get help is a HUGE step. I was very against meds but wow I feel the difference. I hope you are to find just a bit of relief, you are not alone and positive vibes to you and everyone!
Omg Alamar collabed with Disney!! I’m so proud of her company. And it’s a gorgeous palette
2021 was far worse as a whole than 2020 for me. It was really horrible. I started going back to therapy for my anxiety and PTSD, and it is helping! Putting good vibes into the universe for both of us to have a far better 2022! 💖🥰
Probably the only TH-camr who constantly admits her struggles. That’s real life for some of us so I appreciate the authentic ness ❤️ it’s hard to come across these days.
Did I just stop the video to go purchase the Encanto collection? Absolutely! My family LOVES that movie and I had no idea there was even a collab! So excited!
I agree- 2021 was definitely harder than 2020. We got a little more normalcy back then had it ripped away, making it hurt more imo. My 2022 isn't starting off well but I'm hopeful for the rest of the year ✨
My husband always says that I’m the Asian version of Kathleenlights. It’s weird because we do have a lot of similarities. Thank you for being very open about your struggles. I have anxiety issues, too and hearing you talk about your problems makes me feel that I’m not alone. You’re very brave and I admire you. I hope we can both get through our struggles this year. 💕
Sending you a big hug Kathleen. I see you
You have people who care.
Seeking out guidance from a professional sounds like a great goal for this year.
I’ve been there where the things you know you usually love don’t get you out of bed anymore. You can get back to loving them again.
We love you too! I hope you feel all the support and love! Mental health is so important and we all support your journey towards health!!!
Kathleen I LOVE YOU, we all do, and are rooting for you. I completely 100% understand where you are coming from, I have been there myself and still struggle with it. I am a chiropractor, so even as someone in the medical profession I still dealt with that fear too. I promise you if you take the steps to fix it, it will resolve. Don't give up, you got this!
Your videos feel like talking to an old friend and you bring sooooo much light to into people's lives. I hope you can one day see yourself like others see you. Don't let your inner demons win!
Hang in there, Kathleen!!! Thank you for always sharing so openly, it's always nice to know you're not the only one struggling. I recently started up therapy and medication again, and I'm so happy I did. Taking those steps to take care of yourself is the best thing you can do for yourself! 💙
2021 was my year of “Enough is enough”. I got tired of always saying I was okay when really…. I wasn’t okay. I have a friend who saw a break in my usual face and immediately asked “What’s going on?”. She’s wonderful and is always open with her struggles. I talked with her and she advised me on how to go about finding help. So, I did. I have terrible anxiety and I struggle with depression as well. I got on anti-anxiety meds with the least side affects and let me tell you…. It has made such a difference. Group therapy helped so much as well. I learned how to deal with anxious thoughts and bring myself into enjoying the present moment. Living my days without constant debilitating worry is a whole new world for me.
