i'm completely floored.. i've always like nikki as a comedian but watching this interview literally made me cry i relate to her so much and it gives me so much hope that she's a functional successful person and overcome so much in her life.
Nikki, thank you so much for doing this important work. Not only for the personal work you are currently doing but by sharing it you will literally save lives. You are so damn brave.
It's good to hear people talk about disordered eating. I went through issues with food for years. I was shocked when my mother admitted her own issues with food that lasted several decades. I never knew.
Nikki summed it up when she said, "I didnt eat much for just a few days because I was nervous then someone said You look good! What have you been doing?" Most all eating disorders are a dysfunctional need to gain attention and social status. The eating disorder is almost always a symptom of an underlying psychiatric disorder. She didn't say that in her explanation which is not going to help others struggling with the problem
Chris just showed a photo of what pj did to save nikkers. Yes he ate a fucking nuke. Not fun but worth it. He said he would do it again. Only small jumps left, pj already did all the big ones. That means be brave again, Nikki. --Dad
I don’t think he was trying to say “your sister and your parents didn’t catch it”……he was saying “your parents didn’t catch it”, as in “your sister’s and your parents”….more properly maybe he should have said “Hers and your parents” but regardless he was commenting on the PARENTS not catching it, not the sister
@@brendandoyle8147 but what if they were in a lot of pain? You think they should stick around just to make you happy? Doesn’t that make you the selfish one?
@@blakeandrews3613 I believe in assisted suicide for those suffering from diseases that have no more quality of life. But not for those who could get help with mental illness or because they got broke up with in high school.
Why do you think this has anything to do with logic? Furthermore, I think it might be harmful to look at this as a gender-specific issue. Everybody go through struggles. Anybody may experience mental distress/illness. A disordered mind won't discriminate, nor does it care to use logic. If it did, we could "logic our way out" of psychological issues. How easy that would be!
Ultimately, all comedy comes from anger. It's a coping mechanism. Comedians are almost always unhappy people, because their gift for humor develops from personal torment.

Dad sounds like a really good guy.

I love Nikki glad they caught this before too late
I have heard food disorders described as control issues
Damn my sister is going through the same thing :( respect Nicki salute from mexico she is really funny and cute i lover on conan
This is why I want to home school if I ever have kids - so much trauma attached to school
lol I had anorexia BECAUSE I was home-schooled, and when I went to boarding school it went away within months and I've been healthy ever since.
@@laurabetts4924 happy for you

Loud and wrong

"Most all eating disorders are a dysfunctional need to gain attention and social status"
Nikki is a very interesting person!
Nikki has many issues.... some of it is what makes her such a great comedian... but it sounds like she's dealing with them one at a time.

"Her and your parents didn't catch it..." NO! SHE and your parents didn't catch it. She didn't catch it so she and your parents. UGH.
Wow, you need some help

You can see graham thinkin, slow down brod…
She was mad at the guy who killed himself??? Wow….
Women logic. Get mad and become a victim because a friend of a friend killed himself
Not being mad at anyone who kills the self makes no sense. The people left living are the victims not the selfish person that took their life.

@@johngoldsworthy7135 Whatever your mommy did to you - you should see a professional about that.
This is the epitome of women logic. Get tramautized/become the victim over someone who you don't even know killing themselves.

Hhmm met literally go to war and murder strangers over people they don’t know and issues they don’t understand; not logical behavior
Some people can't say your parents are mad at you because I have no parents and kinda in a similar situation like nikki
Comedians are all messed up
