▷ ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Kristen, I am 22 years old, from Sacramento CA, and I am graduating in the Spring with my BA in Psychology. I created this channel for three reasons that are very close to my heart. One, to help others be able to tell their stories and be advocates for mental health, to give recovery tips and tricks to help others find the help they need, and to spread awareness for mental health issues to fight the stigma surrounding it. The more we talk about mental illness the more normalized it will be in our society and the more people will not be ashamed to get help!

I know that this isn't really what the video is about but I am a year free of self harm as of last week with the help of you and your videos. 💖
It honestly scares me that these sorts of people are trusted with people lives
My doctor wasn't exactly like "I don't believe in mental health" or anything that bad but he said it sounds like typical teenage stuff and I wasn't showing any signs of anorexia......few weeks later my diagnosis is atypical anorexia
I had a doctor tell me that the only reason why I'm feeling "sad" as he said it was because I was lacking exercise
I had a psychiatrist not listen to, misdiagnose me, then prescribe me pills that weren't supposed to be mixed together. I felt really sick and I'm lucky enough that I researched it before it get worse.
I had a doctor tell me my physical symptoms of my anxiety were "all in my head," I found a better doctor only to find out he left last month, he seemed like the only doctor who understood and couldn't understand why another doctor put me on antipsychotics for a year..for anxiety. I gained so much weight on them and my self esteem hit the floor, luckily I've been off them for 2 months and the weight is coming off.
8BitCarni Im sure you can find another good doctor. Like I said, this was the only bad doctor that I experienced when I was talking about my anxieties. There are so many other doctors who have helped me so much
A lot is happening right now my brother is in jail again(he's only 16), my parents are splitting up, I'm moving, I may be switching schools, and my mom who works at a hospital decided that maybe I should go to therapy a month ago, but the person I was referred to doesn't have an opening until July 21st and all of it's becoming too much
Just me and music I sorry that is happening to you. No one should have to go through that and I'm sorry that this is the only way I can really help but if you want it here is a free electronical hug, and a prayer for a better tomorrow.
I had a bad therapist who told me to hold my breath till I couldn't hold it any longer just to prove I wasn't suicidal. then later she told my mom she couldn't help me
what does that “prove”?
Notification squad!! Where you guys at!! 😊

So I haven't had any bad doctors, but I did have a family friend who took me to the doctors last week because I had a chest infection (I was home alone for 2 weeks at the time). When we got in there she started talking to him about how she suspected I was self-harming and had an eating disorder and things like that, with no prior warning. Now, I'm in the process of recovery and have only spoken to my mum about these things before, and having them brought up so suddenly in this kind of situation, with nobody there to comfort me, was just about the worst thing possible.
I was questioned and weighed, managing to deflect the worst of it since my weight is normal now, then the family friend dropped me off back at my house where I proceeded to basically break down once she'd gone. And now some of my unhealthy coping methods have started coming back into play to cope with my anxiety suddenly intensifying, as I don't yet feel comfortable talking to people irl about these things.
I once told a therapist about a huge fear I had at the time, and She was like "But that can't happen, so why are you afraid of that if it can't happen?" I was thinkin "um, cause I have anxiety so my brain will come up with anything as long as it sounds scary??"
My therapist back in my home country told me it was ridiculous of me having flashbacks and nightmares a few weeks after "a little bit of shaking ground" and it was just as ridiculous to ask for help "out of no real reason".
- the "little bit of shaking ground" was level 9 earthquake in Japan; only good luck saved me from tsunami and I had to quit my job, my apartment, leave friends and everything behind, give up a hole life from one day to another because of Fukushima disaster and come 'home' to my country after several days of constant agony.
So yeah... no reason at all... she told me to "just don't think about it".
Second therapist told me, it's my own fault, moving to a country with such a high risk of earthquakes.
this one time I had laryngitis (as I usually do) and I'm couldn't talk. so I was using this app on my phone to verbalize what I wanted to say. well, when I was typing what was happening she snatched my phone out of my hands and my father didn't do anything about it. when I confronted him he said "I'd never let someone do that"
my old doctor said i was too young to have depression (i was 16) and she refused to give me medication.
Spøøpy jishwa same!!
I feel the vibe.
I think some doctors shouldn be allowed to work because they cause only damage and suffering to the clients!
It doesn't have to do with mental health but my mom had a doctor tell her that you are born with all the moles you are going to have and you don't grow new ones. My mom (who was having a mole removed on her head) told her she didn't always have it. The doctor then started telling some people outside the room that my mom just never noticed it before and didn't know what she was talking about. My mom heard her and told her, no I did not have this mole when I was little, I can bring you a photo to show you. I have had some bad doctors too. I need to have a surgery and both times I went to see about it (with different doctors) they have lied to me or did not processed the papers and I still have not gotten my surgery I need. My last regular doctor just kind of gave up on me and never wanted to diagnose me or treat me. Turns out I had some health issues since I was little that he never really addressed until I was grown and then he was like, oh yeah you probably have this. -_- I have had some physical therapists just be down right rude or kind of give up on me because I was not getting well fast enough or had to return for the same problem. It has gotten to the point were I don't even have a regular doctor, just a neurologist that I go see. (he is pretty nice) I have mental and physical health problems and I feel like I am just at a stand still in my life waiting for help because it is so hard to find a good doctor, let alone one that takes my insurance. :( Wow that was a long comment, guess I just need to vent #findagooddoctor2017
I saw a bad psychologist who seemed a little sketchy to me (I was desperate for therapy), and while he was a good listener, he let me ramble, he didn't do much other than that. When my parents met up with him, they got the vibe that he was implying that I'd "get over it eventually" and it was utter BS.
I also changed from a small college to a university(and country) I went to the campus' psychologist(first time I went to one) and even though he said I probably had depression when I ask advice on what to do next and what about academics he just told me save the semester he didn't refer me to anybody. Not because I'm feeling like doing well doesn't mean I couldn't get into a relapse because that's what happened and I didn't even get a written diagnosis to help myself. That made me so angry...for not knowing enough of the subject to even make a suggestion or even ask what was he writing for the university's record. ME21.
We discussed bullying and he said for considering someone suffering from bullying it had to happen about daily and for at least a couple of months. 😶 ok??
On regards to my depression he said a person had to have about three months of the symptoms or sth like that...WTF
-Let's say I'm totally fine or feel my days are manageable. Then, I go boom and I feel having stepped into a pit of darkness and confussion from the very moment.
-What if someone feels absolutely worthless and suicidal? Wouldn't any of those feelings count as depression? You burn that "3 months" sign into raging fire. For goodness sake.
- I'm not sure how many thought on keeping track of when it all started. I do think it is a good exercise for self awareness but even so, the pinpointing wouldn't be exact but an estimate of days, weeks, months, or even years??? Depends...
When I was five I went to the nose doctor and they said they had to use the nose vacume. I didn't know what it was and i had really bad anxiety about it and i told her I didn't want to, so instead of just giving me nasal spray, she tried to force me to stay still and use the vacume. My mom had left the room because snot grosses her out and when she heard me scream she got a nurse and they came in and the girl for fired on the spot
I feel furious too when people tell me "you're too young to feel that way". I mean although I'm 19 there are people younger than me that have depression. And I know one, to be honest. It's like depression knows no age. It can happen to even kids. Well I just kept quiet when they said to me that "you're too young" stuff and how it's gonna be very challenging when I turn adult. And that just made me even more depressed and anxious about my future.
I told my doctor that i had voices in my head and that i have a lot of anxiety in like test and school/lessons and they told me that that is just a phase and if you feel confidence in my self and to just breath and they asked me where did it begin and i'm like I don't know....and then they give me this look "I don't believe you" also my doctor said that she said cuz i'm only 14 they said that they can't give me any thing to help because i'm only 14 and its just a phase...yea i'm sure its a phase that last since i was 8...*sighs*
I've had chronic headaches and I go to many doctors for it(and other problems)they claimed my headaches were due to aniexty about school even though me and my parents repeatedly said that that wasnt the case.I may have anxiety but not about school.We stopped seeing that clinic after they wouldn't listen to us
I'm 13 and I've had anxiety since I was around 9 yeah... too young
Anyone can experience anxiety because it is a normal human emotion. You are not abnormal for feeling it
A while ago I came across your channel and I watch videos for about a week and they, you inspired me to seek out help and I wrote a letter to my mom and now I'm getting better everyday❤️ thank you so much for starting your channel, without you and your videos I might not even be here today
i had a THERAPIST tell me that it was impossible for me to have anxiety because i had not been through any "huge trauma" as a child that would explain it. i was talking about my symptoms etc. and she just kept saying to me, "WOW... OH MY... WOOOOOW... THAT IS CRAZY" and it made me feel so inferior like even a therapist wouldn't accept me. i also had a doctor that told me my anxiety would be cured if i did yoga and moved across the country, away from my family that IS SUPPORTIVE.
i had bad anxiety and depression in secondary school and I went to the doctor for 4 years trying to get help... they did bearly anything and my mum ended up paying a lot of money to help me. they said it was because I was to young to have these issues. its like they think your choosing not to leave your house or choosing to be dragged into school 😡
I wish your channel was a lot bigger than you are now. Your videos are really good. You inspire me to make my videos!
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO'S 12 AND SHE HAS HIGH ANXIETY AND EVERYONE WAS JUST LIKE CROWDING AROUND HER AND I WAS LIKE "Ok try to think of something that makes u laugh and then breathe in for 6 seconds and then bre-" And this girl said "Cassie shut up ur not helping" I'm like "Thanks for making me feel like I can't do anything to help anyone when no one is helping me with my suicidal thoughts and depression and stuff"
I've something kind of similar, it was actually my first time reaching out to a professional. I went to a GP who came in weekly to my college and tried to tell her about how I'd been really low for a long time, was self harming and having suicidal thoughts but she kept on asking about my family situation and whether I was in a relationship. In the end she told me I was just a normal 15 year old worrying about little things like whether or not to have a boyfriend (pretty much her exact words) and the only thing she could suggest was perhaps seeing a counsellor a couple of times to talk about my father (I've never met him as he lives abroad and it really is no big deal to me at all) I was like oh yes, of course it all makes sense now - I'm not suicidal I just have a crush...... Smh
my current therapist said i was too young to be bipolar (it runs in my family) and my old therapist said that my severe depression was just a phase bc im just a teen girl
She was just too nice to tell you to grow up.
My docter did not even know that depression and anxity existed as in she never heard of it !
you are awesome ilysm
Yes, do not worry I feel the vibe. 😌
I love your videos when i feal doen or in a panic attack i try to always watch your videos i love you
If 21 is too young to have anxiety, I'm in trouble! I'm 15 and I have anxiety! Luckily no one has ever told me I'm too young but no one seems to understand how serious it can get either. I really don't show it all the time. That doctor sounds awful!
SUPER EARLY SQUAD
but too bad I'm 45 minutes lattte
sammmmeeeee
Beauty guru at its peak
It looks like you're staring into my soul in the thumbnail
For some reason my insurance says I can't see a psychologist if I don't go to a psychiatrist. Fun thing he said I should go to a psychologist. Anyway he told me the anxiety I was feeling wasn't even mild(I told him I mostly felt troubled being inside my classroom and then that I became even troubled to step out of the house partly because of depression but it continued even after I felt depression was leaving. Furthermore, that I became more unseay talking to people, specially if they happened not to be family... sometimes it was too much that I ridiculously ended up hiding myself somewhere near or going home)
I didn't know what he meant at the time and didn't ask because he wrote down to get psychotherapy (followed by : but patient doesn't present x anxiety) to prevent relapsing on depression I didn't ask anything.
MY health insurance rejected my petition for therapy(I was put on hold anyway) for not presenting a psychological pathology...so if I want anything go I had to go to a private physician (or get another letter and try again) I'm like what do you mean pathology? NO 💩
Why didn't I ask him😭... maybe I should have said some other stuff of my background ...
V's High Notes thanks for the comment. That was the extra push I needed to get by today. 😳 Truly
V's High Notes I called his office today. The receptionist was nice and told me she'll have him call me back(not so long ago he did👍) and booked me an appointment just in case. I had to work it out to make him give answers I can understand😒(so annoying😡😓) After being explained things I followed up that I undestood but there's lacking... It was a bit nervewrecking but I did convey to him that I feel he could have overlooked things by shortly remembering him what's been happening and based on my own research and what's he's told me: that just cannot be something that wouldn't even go under acute anxiety...«and what do I even have then?😢»
He stopped me and said he'd like that I book another session to talk it further and rediagnose. 👍omg that was so frustrating but that's a positive response...😡😢
It's for next week 🙃 Honestly, I've just made my mind it's not such a bad idea and it's most likely the fastest way for treatment to use online psychotherapy services. People in real life and available dates are so far away from what I need. (I got an appointment with a Psychologist for August regarding therapy and such🙃). I've been dragging this whole thing for so long it's not fair for anyone involved with me or myself.😳
HAHA sorry🙇
I just wanted to fill someone in. 😊😅 I've got the feeling if I tell my relatives or friends even thought they would be happy I did 'something', they might get upset or angry for me f*ing taking long enough to go after it...(again?) Can't blame them...😅
Thanks, for the small dosis of encouragement!😊❤
stupid doctor not believing in anxiety he must have sudied in clown college love you Kristen
