Been an OG subscriber since you were reviewing fabletics hauls, opening boxes with a kitchen knife, wearing Adidas NMDs and capri leggings, side parting your hair, and coined the terms "when in doubt dab it out" and "fit tip with Whit"... Your OG subs aren't going anywhere Whit. Sending love and prayers to you! Winter is daunting to many people but we can get through it!
YESSS the kitchen knife 😭🤣
@@mckenziealmers2224 so aggressive for no reason 😂 I love her 😭
Hahah this unlocked so many memories for me.
Amen! Me too! And from a time where things were being thrown across the room haha and Whit was all about the shoulder boulders 🙏🥰❤
The kitchen knife and the throwing was sooo funny 😂
If you do not find joy in doing Whitmas, we will understand! Your health is the priority and Whitmas will still be the name of the season even without the 12 videos!! ☃️
I second that!!
Agree!!!
This! 🙌🏼
Totally agree. We need Whitney to prioritize her mental health. Maybe you could just do like 1 video a week during December or something. Something more manageable? Whatever you choose to do I am in full support!!
Agreed! What if you just post when you’re able to?
If people tell you you’re too glowy that is part of their own personal, crusty journey and they can keep that to themselves. Glow on
100%, looove the glow if you love the glow whit💛
Hahaha
My favorite quote about seasonal depression:
“A flower doesn’t force itself to bloom in the winter, so neither should we.”
Good luck Whit! You’re not alone in it I promise! 💛
I LOVE this, thanks!!
Oh thank you so much for that quote
I love this.
I am a licensed mental health therapist, and I just wanted to say how brave it is that you openly talk about these things and you encourage others to not be ashamed as well. And you encourage us (and me) to work out which is so important for our mental health. I hope you feel better soon ❤️ I’d like to think that sometimes when we go through a depressive period, a piece of trauma is coming up/resurfacing and being released. So you are releasing something. So after this is over, you may feel a little lighter.
I feel like that is so true!! 💛
this is beautiful 🤎
Appreciate that perspective… its releasing ✨
Okay what about “Whitmas Wednesday”!? Every Wednesday before Christmas do a video so theres only 4! Even if you don’t do it we will still love you girl 🤍🤍
I second this, commented something similar!!
This could work! I love the idea🥰
This is so fun!!!!
That's an amazing idea!
I love this idea!!
Everytime I binge her videos I am the most productive throughout the day. My house is clean laundry is done and put away. Worked out. Ate healthy. Etc. I just love her energy
It totally broke my heart when you said you don’t feel worthy of the opportunities you have such as with your Gymshark collection!!! I could not think of a more worthy person to have the platform you have, and I think your messages on taking care of ourselves and our physical and mental health are so important and so helpful to so many, including myself!! You are amazing and are deserving of every opportunity that comes your way!! Love you girlie!!
Whitney you are SO DESERVING. They don’t make influencers like you, your godly soul is so visible and bright that there Is no one as deserving as you. We love you and are so proud of YOU
Skip Whitmas this year girl! You don’t need the added stress. Your mental health is SO much more important than our entertainment. ❤️
The worst thing about depression is finally opening up to someone and they say, "what do you have to be depressed about!?" The worst! So glad you have so much support in this community.
I really don’t understand how anyone could hate on Whit, she is literally the most wholesome, pure and kind soul 🥺💗
🙌🏻 yes! There will be those who can’t hold the space… and it ok. There is plenty of those who do ✨✨
yes, I suffer with severe anxiety, depression & ocd and i always have that “somethings coming” feeling and while yes sometimes something DOES come, we can’t let that re affirm our warped thoughts. happiness is unfortunately fleeting so I’ve been trying my best to soak it all in and take life ONE DAY AT A TIME. it sounds very simple but it’s hard…
I just watched your podcast episode and usually I never comment or anything bc I feel like it doesn’t make a difference. But after that episode I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your positivity and content. I use Alive everyday for my workouts. You’re the reason I started working out and your gymshark line is my DAILY fit because it makes me feel so good about myself. I struggle with SEVERE eczema all over my body and I always think about how strong you are when I feel like I can’t do anything to make my flare ups better. I had to drop dairy, gluten, soy and eggs and felt so defeated when my skin wouldn’t clear up. But then I watch your videos and I see you conquering so many things all while struggling with mental health. You are such a phenomenal woman and I hope your journey with mental health is nothing but up from here. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
This is precious 😭 sending you love 🤍
I just listened to the podcast and I am so glad that you’re still here. I was in tears listening to your struggles and you are so brave to be able to talk about these things to an audience. I have been following you on RUclips since the beginning and you have given me so much motivation to be my best self and I started going to the gym because of you. Whenever you feel that you need a break for any reason take it - you don’t owe anyone anything and your mental health is the most important. Thank you, Whitney for being such an inspiration and such an amazing human being ❤️❤️
I literally relate to you so much, we’re when you’ve felt those lows you’re scared to go back there so when you’re riding those high waves you can’t even enjoy it because you’re scared of the lows 🥺 I don’t want to struggle with that forever.
Affirmations and CBT have helped me tremendously dealing with negative thought patterns and processing emotions. For anyone reading this who struggles with depression, anxiety, or mental health: You are not your thoughts, you are the observer of your thoughts. All my love 💖
YES CBT FOR DAYS! I do an app one for chronic pain but I know there's other apps for CBT for anxiety and depression and its way more accessible than a CBT therapist - especially since health care professionals are slammed right now.
I haven’t been sleeping bc my depression and such has gotten so much worse, I read that mental health quote you shared and I can’t tell you how much that helped. Thank you for sharing that, thank you:)
I’m so sorry to hear what all you’ve been going through, but so happy to hear and see you’re back! YOU did this!! We are just your supporters, but you put in all the work with your sweat and tears! YOU are amazaballs, and seriously thank you for allowing us all into your life and sharing your journey with us. You are a true inspiration ❤️
Witnessing your growth over the years has been amazing to see. It's a beautiful day to be alive, Whitney! The world is better with you in it.
Thank you for being so open. Depression is the hardest thing to deal with. This past year for me has been really hard. The weight gain and learning of my PCOS diagnosis that I can barely get out of bed.. I can barely brush my teeth. But just known im not alone helps.
I haven’t watched a video of yours for a couple of months now and to see u this happy and to see u be this transparent is magical. I tear up hearing ur words because I too have had those thoughts and I’m so glad u didn’t give in to them. You are an amazing human being and ITS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE ❤️❤️
"She's here. She's proud. But I'm gonna tell her what's up when I shave her". 🤣🤣 That's amazing.
Girl, I don't even care about makeup but I always watch your GRWM. I've been watching you since day one! I'm sorry you have to divulge every part of your life for people to understand. You're allowed to have privacy. I'm happy you're able to address what you're going through with a therapist. I know that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. My therapist told me instead of viewing my emotions as a flood, think of it as gentle leaves falling. Let it fall on you gently, acknowledge them, and wait for it to pass. Idk if that helps but I thought I'd share.
Also, I'm SOOOO happy to finally get my hands on your Gymshark collection! I got the pink tank top and the yellow sports bra! Who knew I'd be a yellow wearing person? They're so soft and comfortable and they make me feel amazing!
“Do not worry, do not worry, we are working on not worrying”
LOL I love seeing mental health work being used in real life, it’s refreshing to see and reinforcing as a counselor ❤️ you’re so brave and beyond worthy, QUEEN 👑
I just adore you, Whit. I took a long walk with my dog yesterday and listened to your podcast episode. I just wanted to reach through and hug you the entire time. You’re so genuine, so authentic. I’m sorry it’s been a rough season. Sending sunlight your way, always. ☀️
🙌🏻 amen sistah ✨
Whitney! You are such a light. When I was going through depression and couldn’t get out of bed your favorites videos made me laugh out loud laugh and you probably know, when you feel that low how much it means to smile and laugh! So thank you for being you and bringing some laughter and joy to peoples lives. Also I deleted my ENTIRE Instagram and I can’t tell you how much it changed my daily life. I know that’s how y’all make money but maybe just something to consider in the grand scheme of things ❤️
I remember when I first came across one of your videos back in 2015. I will never forget how much you helped me through my fitness journey and how you so quickly became my FAVORITE RUclipsr! 💞I have and always will relate to you so much as a person. What you are currently going through, I am going through with you. I want to thank you SO MUCH for opening up and sharing your story and struggles with us. I will forever be so so thankful for finding your page. You truly are a blessing.
I missed seeing you on here and I’m glad you were able to open up and get the weight off of your chest ❤️ Do what brings you joy !! I know my own struggles with post partum depression have definitely shaken me but I didn’t allow it to take me down and it brings me happiness to see you getting the help you need :) It’s not easy but you’re not alone even though depression lies to you and says you are.
Love you!!
I’m 20 and iv dealt with anxiety and depression all my life, recently I’ve been very depressed and it’s been really hard so I can totally relate to how your feeling. I hope your mental health is able to improve 💕
Just listened to your podcast and I respect that you didn’t say anything on anything until you were in a good place and had professional help. I am so glad you’re here and alive today. You’re such a light to others but you can’t fill others’ cups unless yours is filled first. Sending love 💕
Dear whoever is reading this, I wish there was a way for everyone to surpass the current obstacles or sadness/ stress and let happiness enter your heart! i truly sense and know you will have a beautiful life ahead of you! Nothing in life is ever easy, but what's important is that YOU keep going!
Youre worthy of love and happiness, never allow anyone to tell you otherwise! I wish all of you plenty of health and strength during these tough times. You are loved, you are strong, you got this! Never forget that!
Sending much Love over from Germany 💕🙏✨
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you💗
Love this!
As a person who has also been diagnosed with anxiety and major depressive disorder, I commend your ability to be so open and talk about it especially online. Some ppl can be so cruel and insensitive. You're amazing and strong and an inspiration to so many ppl. Keep up the amazing work! 🥰♥️
I listened to your podcast episode and you blew me away with your honesty and reality. I can't understand anyone in this world that can't find you to be the most positive, kind, beautiful (inside & out) and inspirational person ever. I purchased many items from your gymshark collaboration and you were so right about how they make you feel and I have never felt this way before wearing gym clothing. Every item I bought is so super soft and no-one has ever made anything like that and as soon as I put these clothes on wow I turn into a different person so much confidence and sexyness. I thank you for being you and forever be yourself! ❤️❤️
I haven't seen the whole video yet, but I just wanted to say that your voice is freaking gorgeous, I love when you whisper, it emphasizes what you're saying and gives it a little umpf. You're gonna be okay through these colder months and take the time you need for when you're not, you got it and you're awesome. ✨✨💚
I say “when in doubt dab it out” or “when in doubt blend it out” like every time I do my makeup and it’s definitely from watching your videos over the years 😄☺️💖
SAME! :)
I just love everything about this video! You being so open about everything, you expressing your feelings, your makeup and your love and excitement for the products, your collection and just you being you. I appreciate you and your honesty and braveness so much!❤️
My depression has also gotten really bad over the last year. Feeling like " why am I here!" Always helpful to hear other people's stories.
I completely understand when you talk about the anxiety of waiting for something to happen. I felt like that too when I was dealing with mental health stuff. It's hard, but eventually you learn how to 'drown out' that feeling. I think it comes down to living in the moment instead of projecting into the future.
Honestly if you feel like it's going to negatively impact your mental health, PLEASE don't do Whitmas. We would love it if you did, but I would hate for you to feel crappy doing it and possibly cause a setback or 'relapse' into being that low again. We love you Whit, keep being you my love💜🌈
I just finished listening to the Fleurish podcast you appeared in and two minutes later this YT video comes out. Blessed 🙏. I needed some more Whit after listening to that. Thanks for continuing opening yourself to all of us despite hate that social media pushes onto you. I truly appreciate the light you bring to this world and know that you bring a lot more peace happiness and comfort to people than you receive in hate mail. We love you Whitney 💙 and I hope you are taking care of yourself however you need!!!
You explaining how you’ve been feeling/crying was me a little over 2 years ago… I’ve been on medication since and have been better. It’s hard to transition into your new “thoughts/feelings” just know you aren’t alone ❤️
I just want to say as someone who has being struggling with anxiety for a while now, you are not alone. Thank you for opening up about it
New video means I have to stop everything I'm doing to watch ❤️ And Whitney will you PLEASE, pretty please do a these are my ladies ig reels haul with your Gymshark collection? ☺☺
Listened to the podcast today and it made me tear UP while I was making din din. Thanks so much for your positivity and being so open and brave about sharing what you did. Makes me feel like I’m not alone in the issues I face. You’re beautiful inside and out! 💜
Thank you for sharing with us Whitney! I really feel like your bff whenever I watch your videos, and I know I’m not the only one who really appreciates you and your content. Your videos always brighten up my day & it’s nice to be reminded that it’s a beautiful day to be alive💕
Thank you for always being so open with us! It’s amazing to see you growing & glowing ☺️ It’s also nice to not feel alone in those kinds of things.
So happy I got to finally catch up with my girl! Just know you inspire me every single day. Literally crying with you and felt so connected through this video! Girl! I always feel so connected and just want to send you so much love to you! I can’t thank you enough for being the greatest light in my life, Whitney! Every time I’m feeling down I always think of you and remind myself “it’s a beautiful day to be alive.” 💕💕💕💕💕
P.s love your glow, sis! Always here for you! 💕💕💕💕
I cried so many times throughout this video because it is SO nice to see you truly smiling and happy after so long of feeling like you’ve been down and then that being confirmed in the podcast. Love you so much and thank you thank you thank you for being so open about everything you’ve been going through. So many of us relate and it’s huge to be able to relate when you feel so alone♥️
You are such a precious soul. I've been feeling the same since last of January and it's been hard. It's often that I think: I can't be depressed, so many people have it worse. And it's been hard to accept it and say it out loud. Hearing you talk about it helps me a lot and I want to thank you for that. I wish you all the best in life
OH! And yes I was one of those people who got your collection with GS for the first time and LOVED everything and went back for more. I was so happy and pleased with the amount of stock. You and GS killed it this year
I haven’t read the comments so I’m not sure what the popular decision is hereeee but I just listened to the podcast and came straight into this GRWM. Please for the love of mental health don’t do Whitmas. We love you, but we love you more when you are happy and healthy and if whitmas ain’t it, it ain’t it sis!! 💕💕💕
“I just keep crying and dabbing,” story of my life! 😂 Thank you for sharing so much of your life and normalizing the things that we all go through behind closed doors ❤️
that’s so real- even when you feel okay, when you’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety you can never fully enjoy the moment because you’re just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for something bad to happen that will put you back in a spiral. i wish you so much healing girl and it’s so powerful that you’re speaking about your experience ❤️❤️
Whitney we love you! Sending you all the positive vibes
That feeling of impending doom is common for people with anxiety and depression (I was diagnosed in 2013). Be gentle with yourself, it takes a while to start having more good days than bad and that's when you know you're on the right track. And setbacks are common too. I am sorry you're having such a rough time with everything, I hope you only continue upwards on your journey of recovery! Xoxo ❤
Whitney, you’re an amazing human! I love you and can totally relate to the fall and winter feeling esp with how things were for me last year. I think we have to take the time to live the moment and not worry so much of the unknown and remember that we are thriving and growing. I love you.
Appreciate your openness so so much! You are so loved & so worthy! Praying over your precious mind! 🤍🕊
Also, girl! I feel you. I was diagnosed with social and generalized anxiety with agoraphobia about a year ago now and have been medicated ever since. There is no cure for mental illness and it’s not linear. You’ll still have bad days/weeks/months even on medication. I find that sharing my journey and building a community has helped me so much. I definitely feel less alone, and it feels amazing being able to help people too. Proud of your for getting the help you need; that’s a really hard thing to do!
hey, I wanted to add, that mental illnesses are not incurable. There might not be a thing you take that makes it fine but there are ways to feel good again (chronic illnesses by definition excluded - though there are things to make it more bearable); so, to anyone reading this, don't think there is nothing you can do, because there is. Therapy and a good doctor/therapist etc. will help you figure out the best way for you.
As someone who’s been battling depression for 10 years, my heart goes out to you. Wishing you healing and happiness. 💖
Finally got around to watching this!! I am so happy for your happiness and success! This launch is the first time I got my hands on your line and it is amazing. Thank you for being you! 😊
You where the one how got me into fitness and the gym pack in highschool, you gave me the confidence to actually start working out in that scary place haha. And I will always be thankful for that! Now several years later when I have been struggling a while with my mental health you have helped me get back in the gym but also with feeling less alone with my struggles❤️
your worries about coming off of your "happy high" is normal and relatable, you'll be okay! try to be in tune to any small triggers that may come up and write them down so you begin to recognize a pattern. in college by senior year the therapist pulled my visitation record and found a pattern in my visits over four years and there were common triggers to my anxiety and panic attacks. it's a small thing that may help
I feel so proud when you mention your OG girls😌 Also, don’t feel like you have to do Whitmas!! It’s amazing obviously but your mental health is important and those who love you and appreciate you will understand!
it breaks my heart knowing what you’ve been going through!! i have those struggles too and i hate how you’ve been receiving hate??? who tf can hate on such a genuine soul. it’s all a reflection of themselves always❤️
Whitney thank you so much for sharing your light and your beauty inside and out with everyone. It makes my heart so sad that you were feeling so low but, so happy you’re sharing your journey with everyone. My sister and I gush about how much we adore you. Please have a Midwest meet and great!
Thanks for all you do and share!
I love how you're riding the fluffy brow train like it's taking you to paradise. There are things we let others take us down for and then there are things we will take no shit for - for whatever reason. You go, Whit!
Also, my leggings and bra/top arrived and I feel cute in it.
I’m 34 years old and have recently been diagnosed with ADHD… AT 34!!!!! All the issues I’ve had my entire life stem from that and once I figured it out it was literally like you said. A 50 lb weight was lifted off of me. I’m still struggling with how to deal with things and going through therapy and taking medication, but I’m learning. I was also diagnosed with anxiety disorder and it all just made so much sense. So I feel you, sis! Love you! Praying for you! We will make it through this!
I think I’m in the same boat. Do you mind sharing what’s worked for you so far?
I was diagnosed with ADHD a month before my 34th birthday. My whole life up to this point is suddenly illuminated. Meds have helped heaps. And also not to be cliché, but yoga and meditation helps me heaps. Getting enough sleep and eating good food have helped my meds work best. Google assistant and calendar, keeping a bullet journal, setting up reminders have been awesome. Also, telling people around me has helped with them and helping them to make allowances for me. Good luck, hope this helps 😊
I just listened to your podcast and from the bottom of my heart I truly appreciate your transparency. I know it was hard for you to open up, but I think that so many people will benefit from it. I’m so happy that you sought professional help and have worked on your mental health. I have been here since the beginning and feel so connected to you. It truly brought me to tears hearing how hard these past couple of months have been for you! Thank you for your videos and your presence! I pray for continual healing for you ♥️
You are so loved. We will always be here for you!!
I think something that’s so great about the RUclips platform is that there’s plenty of people to fill every space. So when it comes to Whitmas, girl when you said it’s hard to enjoy the holidays when you do it… breaks my heart because the holidays are my favorite time of year! So if YOU can’t do it, it’s okay, we will all be fine because there’s plenty of other awesome RUclipsrs out there doing similar videos, and that’s fine too :) Do you girl!
YOU ARE SO WORTHY ♥️ I would absolutely love a Whitmas if you feel like you can do it. I’m new here and I’ve binge watched almost all of your videos and Whitmas is so fun!! I would love to be a part of it this year but only if it feels right for you. SENDING ALL THE LOVE.
Awww Whit, thank you! Thank you for being open, vulnerable with us! I love your honesty about your mental health, I also struggle with anxiety and depression and have struggled with suicidal thoughts at time. It does get better! There will be highs and lows but over time you will understand more about yourself and how to work through some things! It may or may not go away but you are certainly no less than anyone else. Thank you for being brave and sharing on a platform that some of us dont have. We love you!!
You have a lovely way of speaking about, as you said, very personal things that are utterly relatable without going into too much detail about your struggle. You are seen and heard and loved and appreciated so much.
Hi Whit. Thank you for uploading and being here. We all need you. You have so much purpose. I loved this video and I’m so with you this fall winter will be a struggle with the darkness so so early in the day 😭 i seeeeeee your comments back to people so so constantly on here and Instagram. 400 comments? Nothing for Whitney to make 800 comments because of all of your love to reply back to everyone! No. One. Like you. I really hope your doctors appointments i really pray it gives you some relief with helping the flares. You’re stronger today than your thoughts. You’re such a light. Lysm lysm!!
You make me feel beautiful, and sane, and confident. If I can share any bit of the gift you’ve given me with you, I will. you are so deserving of the same good energy you constantly give off, whether you’re “happy” when giving it or not. You’re amazing. as you are. in every stage you find yourself in.
and p.s. when you mentioned your mustache, I felt that is my spirit place so I support your mustache movement 😂
😂 sistah you made me laugh out loud 🙌🏻
I love you fluffy brows and all. I've never sat through one of your videos without smiling at LEAST once (usually a million times though). Thank you for putting yourself out there, you've been such a light of joy on the internet
💕 you Whitney!! Glad your back !!!!! Love your chatty make up videos ❤️✨
Thank your for sharing your journey. This year has been my hardest yet and seeing I'm not alone has helped tremendously! Also #1 don't do 12 Whitmas Videos - trust your intuition that it's too much. What about the idea of 2 videos a week during December as Whitmas? It would still be an increase in content for you but dramatically less stressful than every other day! Big love always.
Totally feel you on the depression anticipation thing, I feel like sometimes I bring an episode on myself because I'm worried about it happening😂🙄BUT when you're flying high and feeling good, 100% enjoy it for sure, but when you start to worry, remember things will always return to the mean. Life is not always those wonderful high feelings, it's more often a mixture, or it's good, but not FANTASTIC, but that is OKAY. Like, life is up and down, and when you're feeling great you don't have to worry yourself, because not all "happiness decreases" mean that you're going to be depressed again, it just means you're leaving the euphoria state, which is good, because you cannot function and be healthy in that state all the time, that's mania lol. I feel like when I was hella depressed for so long, my goal was to just be happy, but I've realized the actual goal is to be content. Being able to feel all emotions, good or bad, and just float along in my little life canoe is the goal. Being able to live and actually experience my life is my goal, and I feel like that's an important distinction from "happy". Hopefully that made some semblance of sense❤️
I absolutely love this 💗
Thank you for being so vulnerable❤️ I know what you mean. I struggled with depression and anxiety for 6 years. There was good days and bad days. But each season is filled with growth. Always here for you and proud of you ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story, it brings me so much comfort and makes me feel less alone ❤️
Girl, don’t do Whitmas! It’s been a rough year already, just take a break and enjoy the holidays instead ❤️ if anything just give us one video and that’s it! You’re true peeps will completely understand.
when you said you were nervous for winter, oh my gOD i felt that. shorter days? no sun? COLD?? no ty. Sending good vibes to everyone this winter 😭we've got this aHHHH
seasonal depression is so real! im so scared for this winter. i need to get back into going to the gym because its the only thing that gets me through... also, a sunny vacation in the winter lol
@@katie7488 I suffer from SAD. I actually had to move to a warm place to stop taking anti depressants.
So raw. So vulnerable. So beautiful. ✨
I absolutely adore you❤ Thank you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable Whitney. I know it will help others feel that they are not alone. I hope you know how much you are loved by not only your family, but your RUclips family ❤ Remember Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift that's why it's called the "Present". Love you Whitney😘 You definitely have purpose, and deserve all the best in life.
Whit!! I can’t express enough how much I love and appreciate you being so open and vulnerable in sharing everything you’ve been going through. There’s so much power in talking about and normalizing mental health, suffering and struggles. It can be incredibly scary but hopefully empowering at the same time 😊 thank you from your #1 mental health therapist fan 😅🤗❤️
I just listened to you on the Fleurish podcast and I just want to say, you are a bright light on social media. you are the only fitness/lifestyle influencer that makes me FEEL GOOD about myself, my body, my mood etc . DO NOT CHANGE for people who are jealous of your happiness- they are trying to steal your shine so that you are as dull as them . We love you xx
Also, your supposed 'vocal fry' - a crack in the tone/register/speech when speaking can also be a symptom of anxiety. (think Gigi Hadid who has said her voice is shaky because of anxiety) but also I have it and soooo many people have it. The french OWN it , they make it hot af. Again, never change xx
You're such a beautiful soul. Thanks for being so incredibly brave, real, and raw with us. You are so worthy and we all are by virtue of our birth. Nothing else to prove. Period. We need you and your beautiful spirit in this world. Sending you a giant hug!
You are literally a beautiful person inside and out ! You just give such a positive vibe through your videos. I love watching all of your videos but always do what is best for you. ❤️
I'm glad you're doing better, depression and anxiety sucks. I just moved to California from Arizona and my mental health immediately tanked, as if already dealing with depression wasnt enough😒
Moving to a new state sent me into a spiral too. It’s getting better now 9 months later. Hang in there girl! A lot of change at once is stressful.
@@cheyannemarie55 thank you! I'm hoping seeing a therapist and psychiatrist will help😔
I just moved from Arizona to California recently and have really been struggling with my mental health since too. You’re not alone!
She always says she's not a makeup expert, but having your final look be that flawless when you were crying is next level skill
seeing you cry hurt my heart:( you deserve so much love and hugs and all things sunny and happy. This video was a year ago and seeing you now being so happy and renewed makes me SO happy I can’t even explain it. you deserve so much good. thank you for brightening my day with your videos. 💜
I went through a period of 5 years where my depression had subsided and I felt so good. The first of August this year ended that streak for me and my depression and anxiety had gotten so bad that I got help and I was also diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I'm going through so many highs and lows and I am thankful that people, such as yourself, can be so honest about how depression can be such a struggle. And I can empathize with that feeling; a feeling like "something" is just looming there or coming. Take care of yourself, Whitney, even if it is just a day at a time!
It almost sounds like SAD (seasonal affective disorder) because I get like this too when summer ends. I absolutely feel like I want to be away from everyone and just wanna curl up in a ball of comfort. Depression is a scary thing, I feel like I’ve been more depressed this year than any other year.
Whitney, my dear YOU have every right as a human being to take time off and heal yourself. I have been with you from the start, from eating egg whites to making kodiak waffles, (Which because of you I have journeyed through a plethora different kodiak cake mixes) to trying on fabletics, adidas (I finally got some NMD’s) to hauling gymshark, to becoming a rep for GS, and then a rep for Alanui. Girlllll, you have been through so much! You need time to heal yourself♥️ We all need time to heal ourselves! That saying, “Depression kills” is honestly true if you don’t seek help.
Stay strong ladies & gents♥️
So happy for you Whitney! I'm so happy seeing you so happy. As for Whitmas, I love it a lot (Whitmas videos are how I found you). Why don't you lower the number of days you film instead of making it long and overwhelming for yourself? Like a week of Whitmas. Like holiday special episodes featuring Whit!!
Thank you for being so real I struggle with anxiety and it always helps to know that you are not alone!! You are an inspiration to many sending love and prayers your way!!!
i just want to say that you have helped me so much on my fitness journey, you are the person who motivated me to make a lifestyle change and i am so thankful for you! i have been watching you since 2016! it breaks my heart to hear that you have been going through your private struggle! you are so worth every blessing in your life! love you!
YAS! THANK YOU WHITNEY for continuing to inspire me everyday! You are such a ray of light and I cannot thank you enough for everything you do. They world needs MORE WHITNEY! Stay amazing and LOVE ALWAYS ❤☺

Great video! Needed this energy today!
I love how open and honestly you are. It sounds like you are now more comfortable being yourself ❤️🥰
I’d love to see a collab with Jaclyn Hill since she’s working on bettering herself mentally and physically! That would be a dream! For me anyways. Thank you for always staying true to who you are. ❤️
Omg girl don't do this 😭😭😭 you made me cry!!! You have more good people that follow you than bad ones, Im sorry you've been feeling this way 😢🥰😘😘 and always know that when others mock you, it's their own insecurities coming out, nothing to do with you! Love you always!! 🥰🤗😘😘😘
