As a clinical psychologist, I want to remind everyone that "mental health" is not to be equated to feeling good or happy. When we assess mental health, we look at how well one's responses align with what one is experiencing. The presence of distress is often evidence of mental health. When something tragic happens and yet you do not respond with grief, that is in fact a sign for us psychologists that something is wrong with the individual. I'm worried that by trying to control your emotions through forced positivity, you may be making it harder for you to process your natural emotions. Also, I want to remind you that we are not responsible for everything. We simply aren't. Psychologically, sociologically, neurologically, and philosophically, research confirm the interdependence of our existence with our environment and conditions, and we cannot claim sole ownership of anything in this world, including our own very actions. It may feel empowering to think otherwise, but the downside to this thinking is that you will expect too much from yourself, and even blame others for their failure. Gratitude and shifting perspectives are indeed valid approaches to managing strong emotions and experiences, but everything has its appropriate moment. Please don't try too hard, and be easy on yourself and let yourself feel and respond naturally, especially in the early stages of grief.
Thank you for posting this! As someone who lives with BPD, major depression and severe anxiety I ended up having a mental breakdown and being hospitalized numerous times because I was trying to hold it all together for so long. Therapy and recovery taught me that ALL emotions are there to be felt and processed not internalized it's moreso learning how to cope with the more difficult emotions in healthy ways rather than trying to push them away... they always end up coming out in one way or another. For me it was destroying my relationships so this is sooo important.... I'm so sorry this is happening. As someone who has also lost two siblings, a parent, grandparent and several close friends this isn't easy. Grief is a very heavy emotion but it still has to be felt
@@TheLightWitch I'm glad to hear this, and I hope you are doing well. I can only imagine the hardships you had to experience, but it seems like you came out with an invaluable insight that would help you live your life to its fullest. Not everybody has the chance to learn this lesson, and you should be proud of how far you've come and optimistic of what the future holds!
But also allow yourself to feel bad, be careful with toxic positivity. It's natural when something bad happens to try to feel good because we want to avoid the pain, but it's normal to feel bad when bad things happen, I feel like if we instantly try to feel better we're covering up the pain and if we do that we don't process. This will pass and you'll feel better but give yourself the time and space to be in the shit, the way out is through, in my opinion, that's when the growth happens
So true! I watched this TikTok video and it was this spiritual creative talking about how with the popularity of manifestation and spirituality there’s so much false information and help going around about it that can be harmful. This belief that you can’t be sad, angry or low, you have to always be positive just isn’t true and doesn’t affect your manifestations because god, the universe whatever you believe in, the higher power wouldn’t give you all of these complex emotions only to allow you to attract things into your life when in one state. We need to feel our emotions, be like children and let them flow, don’t resist. And sometimes it’s ok to just feel without identify what it is, just be.
“The Uses of Sorrow” by Mary Oliver (In my sleep I dreamed this poem) Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.
When going thru grief, it is important to actually grieve…don’t fake it or push the feelings down…let the waves of grief come and learn how to ride them…sending you a big hug Shayna! 💛
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.” ― Albert Camus
Feel the feelings. Sit with them. I promise when you go THROUGH those uncomfortable feelings and not FROM them, they melt away on their own. Hold on in these eclipse times, it will pass. Hugs. Yay rejections! (I got 4 this week hehe)
Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay. By Robert Frost ❤
I’ve experienced a lot of loss this year too. My dad passed away in October and i’m in my senior year of college currently. I think trying to find a balance between letting yourself fall apart and feel and also pushing yourself along is what keeps me going. I threw myself into art making and finishing my art thesis but I just finished last week and now I still have all this grief I haven’t let myself process. Giving yourself some space to lie on your floor and sob is ok. We will get back up again and keep creating. I think of grief as all of the love I have left to give to that person, and so I dedicate myself to feeling it all and using it for good and feeling the pain to honor them. You are so strong ❤
I recently lost my last grandparent; my grandfather Archie in November, and this loss has been hugely significant. One thing that I have been learning is that it is okay to be sensitive and to cry everyday, and to just let the tears flow.
Hi Shayna I literally opened RUclips to watch your video about rejection as an artist and then this one just popped up. I was just rejected from my dream college and by multiple publishing opportunities for my writing so I can’t tell you how much this video means to me. If I had a pen with me I’d write down “ what’s left is the best of me” on my arm. Thank you for all of your love and kindness and your willingness to be open with us! You are my role model and your videos always make me smile. Rejection hurts but you have helped to make it hurt less. Also the poem that was rejected was about wearing angel wings because I don’t feel like who I used to be and the fact that you’re wearing angel wings in this video seems like a sign to me! Thank you. 💚💚💚🕊️
Pre-ordered your art print & poem. 🙏💖 I know it will uplift me when I inevitably go through heartbreak and loss. Being human is a whirlwind of chaos and beauty.
Such a beautiful heart and mind you have❤ Remind yourself that it also okay FEEL your grief. Let it throw you. Feel it deeply, passionately, but know that you are just the observer of this intense energy running through your body. Observe the grief running rampant through your body, and let it flow through you. For me, it’s not about always being positive. Positive and negative are one to me. It’s about allowing the pain to be there, inviting it for tea, allowing if to stay as long as it wants to stay, then it will go when it is meant to go. Forcing ourselves to be positive sometimes keeps us stuck with that pain for longer than either of us desire. Anyway, just my musing on my own experience with grief that I thought could help❤ Sending you hugs!
Remember when I told you about the dream house I was buying last year? After an emotional rollercoaster of I got it, I dont, I finally got it (papers signed and I started packing to move and paid for a 1750$ document I ended up not needing because the transaction fell through...) something totally out of my control happened and I didn't get it. And at first it was very frustrating and I didn't understand because it seemrd so right, but now I see that it is a blessing, it was protection. I feel much better now and am in a better place I would be had it worked out... ❤
I realize you and I have the same mentality. I find comfort in looking towards the light. Others may see it as “faking it” or “toxic positivity” but to me it’s my most effective method of healing ❤
Thank you for your positivity! I lost someone last year in a traumatic way and as much as I've still carried on I still find myself in a negative mindset. You are completely right about focusing on the positive, as that is the only way we can prevail in the end. I hope to be a positive influence to others in my life. I appreciate your constant reminders. It keeps me on the path of light and love. xo Ashton
Hi Shayna, I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, I am quite well practiced in unexpected loss...I lost my best friend 3 years ago, and a year later to the very same day, I lost my close friend and housemate, also unexpectedly. Giulia was 21, and Joe was 22. I dealt with them both very differently... when G passed, I spent a lot of the next few months alone. I cradled myself in my grief, and tried to live more like her, show up to others like the sunshine that *she* was. But those others were always strangers - the following months I took myself to new environments, even to a whole other country (France of course). But, I learnt a lesson - it is so much better to grieve in company. Not just any company, but ideally, those who hold little pieces of the person we lost. That's what I have come to believe / understand: there are parts of us that only exist in the ones we love, who we are to them, the memories they have of us that even we don't hold ourselves. We live on in the lives of people we touch. Being with my friends who also knew G and Joe is the closest I can ever get to being present with them, because all of those people bring those precious pieces of their souls together. When Joe passed a year later, I handled the process differently. I went to my friends. I cried in front of everyone, openly and honestly. Bled with them. And I am so grateful I did. It was healing. I still, even though years have gone by, have so many tears. I have moments where I'm transported right back to those moments where I first found out they had passed. But the truest comfort comes from reaching out to those who understand my pain - not just those who grieve in general, but those who know what it is to grieve Giulia, and what it is to grieve Joe. Know that you hold a unique piece of the person you have lost, that has never been more precious and important. They are a part of you, and in that way their spirit will never be gone. I'm sorry for rambling, but know that my heart and thoughts are with you. When you are ready, I would love to meet this beautiful soul through your stories and your art. Even if never introduced, I know they will be there in it xxxxx
Shayna, I'm really sorry for your loss. I love the way you think about it, you're such a bright light ! And a pure soul, as you said, is a blessing...even it's so difficult to preserve... Keep shining ! Love you
Feel the grief. Really sit with it. Yes positivity helps, but really diving into the darkness ends up helping in the long run. I say this after my dad passed away and had 3 years of depression… but slowly but surely pulled myself out ❤
this came at the most apt time for me. Thank you Shayna ♡ i think that you could have no better version of yourself to help yourself through this than you do now. i hope to find myself like that, one day
You are a gorgeous lovely soul 🙏🥰 I appreciate your authenticity, your honesty, your wisdom💕 you shine and sparkle even in those tougher times, you are so tender but a power house, much much love from Germany, Christine
Sending love and light and angel wings to support you, sweet Shayna 🤍🕯️🪽 Grief takes a lot of energy, and you deserve rest, whatever that looks like for you 🤍🤍🤍
thE SHEEREST of you is irony. A Joy-Angel who's tears cry poems for her guitar to play, then took me to her beach that made my mouth drop! As yours did, when you first saw what you truly could draw. I am so HAPPY for you, Artist.
I lit a tea light. Feeling grateful for the weird crazy past feels totally counterintuitive, and powerful, it makes me aware of strength inside. Thanks Shayna
What a beautiful poem, Shayna 💓 I am sorry for your loss and I admire how powerful and beautiful inside out you are. I write poetry since I was 13, I am 32 now and for me poetry = healing. When I write what I feel is like the pain I've put there is released into the universe and I am liberated. Just like you I think the lessons we get in life are there to teach us something and there are no good or bad feelings, just feelings... even though it's harder done than said: if we embrace all our feelings and transform our pain into art, this is the purest alchemy of life and this is one of our human powers, to forget, to heal to grow. Last, I feel to share a phrase to everyone reading this, is "In Lak'ech Ala K'in' = I am the other you 🕊Sending love and a big hug to you dear Shayna 🤗
Thank you Shayna for being so open and vulnerable. It’s your superpower. I remember something you said long ago about taking up space and not being afraid to claim your space . That really stuck with me, because I have been in a living hell for approximately six years now, and it has made me anxious and depressed. But among various reasons, what you said resonated in me, and I took it to heart. ❤️ I hope you feel better. ❤️🩹
I am a tender soul too , protect that gentleness 💖 So sorry for your loss … while all your art is beautiful I love your line drawings best … will order
A pisces moon needs to have that space to feel those feels, and Aquarius Sun desires change and higher thought (rising above emotions). So it's a hard spot to be my dear. You know how you process best and it may not look like everyone else's journey. So inspired by your vulnerability.
Basically saying what so many others have already have - it’s okay to be okay with feeling so shitty when things don’t work out. There are certain things in life that no matter how positive we are are trying to be or make it out to be, are fucking awful. It’s okay to vent. I think that’s why Therapy is so helpful - admitting we aren’t okay and beginning the healing process by completely feeling our loss and feeling totally awful. Eventually you’ll see the silver lining or make peace or whatever but it’s okay to be super depressed, ragingly mad, utterly heartbroken. Some of my most creative moments come from embracing that darkness 👻
we broke up on march 30th (it was our anniversary on top of that) withtout really wanting do to so but circumstances make it that it is maybe better that way, it was very sad but healthy, respecful and filled with love regardless, i've been delaying watching this video since then bc I wanted to be in the right headspace to receive your wisdom, it really came on point, your are the angel of love, quite litteraly
While I don’t know what you’re going through, when I think about losses and rejections that have happened, as they do, over time I realize that whatever was loss wasn’t the right thing for me…and then I realize that my sadness wasn’t due to the loss…it was due to the disappointment of realizing that what was loss wasn’t what I had hoped it would be. You are strong and beautiful and you will continue to soar…your angels told me this. 😘 Ellen
I hope you find peace & healing soon. When I lost someone so so close to me I was completely distraught, in this pain I found a truly amazing friend. After that point, I realised those who have to leave us will give us a parting gift of love. So love will never leave us. ❤
Your poem is so beautiful and the print is such a cool illustration, it could pass as a tarot card! Thank you for being inspiring in the midst of the storm ☔️
Your stories going back to kindergarten and times with your sister made me think of this "no" - I don't remember much from prekindergarten as I was maybe 5, but it was St. Patrick's Day and I had a yellow checked dress on with squares of different colors including green and this little red-haired boy out of the blue pinched me REALLY hard saying I wasn't wearing green but i said look, there's green in the checks in this dress and then he pinched me harder! That was a good no bc I learned to beware of red-haired boys. Funny how our minds work sometimes, you associate something bad with someone who "looked like that". Of course, that was ridiculous, and I was 4 or 5.
It saddens me to to see you sad; you will pull through Shayna…I promise you, we’ve all been in that place. In your own sweet words: “What is left is the best of me” 💜
When you talk to your dead celebrity spirit guides, you are actually channeling! ✨ Their energy is real and palpable. You are tapping into their essence and soul.

Hello angel 💗 sorry you've had a horrible time but we're all here for you.

Let it hurt and let it heal. ❤
the concept of you needing angel energy and transforming into that is extremely powerful

You will come through this in a beautiful way ❤ I'm sorry it's hard right now.
we broke up on march 30th (it was our anniversary on top of that) withtout really wanting do to so but circumstances make it that it is maybe better that way, it was very sad but healthy, respecful and filled with love regardless, i've been delaying watching this video since then bc I wanted to be in the right headspace to receive your wisdom, it really came on point, your are the angel of love, quite litteraly
I LOVE the new print! 🐚🤍🥹
While I don’t know what you’re going through, when I think about losses and rejections that have happened, as they do, over time I realize that whatever was loss wasn’t the right thing for me…and then I realize that my sadness wasn’t due to the loss…it was due to the disappointment of realizing that what was loss wasn’t what I had hoped it would be. You are strong and beautiful and you will continue to soar…your angels told me this. 😘 Ellen
your poem is so beautiful
Thank you!
I hope you find peace & healing soon. When I lost someone so so close to me I was completely distraught, in this pain I found a truly amazing friend. After that point, I realised those who have to leave us will give us a parting gift of love. So love will never leave us. ❤

You are incredible
Your stories going back to kindergarten and times with your sister made me think of this "no" - I don't remember much from prekindergarten as I was maybe 5, but it was St. Patrick's Day and I had a yellow checked dress on with squares of different colors including green and this little red-haired boy out of the blue pinched me REALLY hard saying I wasn't wearing green but i said look, there's green in the checks in this dress and then he pinched me harder! That was a good no bc I learned to beware of red-haired boys. Funny how our minds work sometimes, you associate something bad with someone who "looked like that". Of course, that was ridiculous, and I was 4 or 5.
It saddens me to to see you sad; you will pull through Shayna…I promise you, we’ve all been in that place. In your own sweet words: “What is left is the best of me” 💜
Thank you
I am so sorry
♥️♥️♥️
I understand. ❤
we love a good hurting room session . All we can do is acknowledge it and embrace that angel energy
