- This week was a struggle. I don't open up about my mental health often and I find it hard to talk about these things. So, thank you for giving me a place to try and get some things off my chest.

Hey lovelies!
1. I’m so sorry it’s late! I’ve been having some issues with my internet and RUclips!
2. I’m not great at talking about my mental health and I almost wasn’t going to include a lot in the video but I want these vlogs to be as realistic and true as possible so I’m sorry about the water works. But thank you for letting this be a great space where I can be honest ♥️
You are doing great. Keep going on beautiful :)
Dont ever feel guilty if you're struggling with mental health, you're only human. You're an inspiration. Im having chemotherapy treatment and get a bit anxious, but your Vlogs have inspired me with my crafting and really help to clear my mind, so thankyou.
You're a star x
Don't ever stay where you are not happy. Move look for another job. It's easy to say, but you want to be happy or at least like what you do. Thank you for sharing and opening up ❤
Don’t feel guilty you are not on your own. You can get through it one step at a time. You are doing fantastic and you sell some lovely products. I watch your vlogs all the time. Tracey. X
Your problems may be “first world problems” but that doesn’t make them any less valid. Please don’t feel you need to play them down. We’re all here watching YOUR vlog because we love them and we love that you show us your authenticity! We’ve got your back.
Love that new scrunchie material BTW - it looks like spring time 🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸
That’s so kind, thank you so so much 🥺💖💖💖
Not sure what are first world problems never heard of that
I loved your honest talk! Not only because I can relate, but we should be encouraged to talk about the rough stuff. Running a business and having another job must be so tough. I'm very lucky that my day job allows me to be me. Personally, I don't think I could work at a job where tattoos and dyed hair weren't allowed. You are so strong for pushing through!
I've felt exactly the same way. I gave up working for others because it made me miserable. I now work for myself, and although money is a constant struggle, it made such a huge difference to my mental health. I also have ADHD and honestly quitting the 9 - 5 was the best thing for me. I also was fortunate enough to get some help through the government / universal credit when I went self employed so it's always worth seeing what help you can get financially through your local council to ease money worries when you do decide to work on the business full time. :)
Never apologise for being yourself. One of the reasons I subscribe to your channel is your honesty in everything. I really like your content, your small business, and you. Plus your cats are dead cute. Stay strong chick. Nx
I HEAR YOU... and your problems and struggles are so important.and thank you for talking about feeling uncomfortable in a work environment, i am 59 and have struggled with this for years (many people just thinking i was lazy and didnt want to work) i worked from home making things but back then there was no you tube or social media so no one really knew ... sorry for the rant.. but please know you really helped me today THANK YOU and take good care of you.
I havent finished the video yet but i had to pause and comment.
I just finished the part you were real and i appreciate it sooo much. I am typing to let you know i been there! I lived in uk and i hated my job although it wasnt the worst at all, i was lucky enough that in that job i didnt have to cover up because for me my blue hair and tattoos and piercings were where i got my confidence on to keep going... i left uk because i was alone (my family moved back to portugal) and i was crying before work and before bed DAILY. i truly was depressed and i couldnt even see it. You matter, your mental health matter, and you arent alone at all... rn i am fortunate to live with my parents and have my small business as my full time job but dont be fooled, its a financial struggle for me rn. But believe... believe you can do it, because you can, you have such an amazing mentality and energy to do it. I am unbelievebly proud that you were able to upload that section and be vulnerable with us... Never change that, because me, as a small business, dont want to see fairytales, i want to see raw, real, struggles and wins. Lastly, you will win... i wish you the best in the journey to success !
Oh Megan 🖤 I've only just discovered your channel so I'm late commenting but seeing you being so unhappy and hearing you just broke my heart. There's no shame in struggling with your mental health. I hope you went and got a big squeezy hug after filming that clip.
Don't ever feel you have to apologise for being human. As for the changing your appearance at work, if you can, change jobs, if only for the mortgage thing until you are earning enough from YT to leave. Obviously this is 11months ago I need to watch the rest of the vlogs!! You are an inspiration to me. I am a teacher and get imposter syndrome all the time! I started making scrunchies to sell at markets because of you and an Aussie YT'er @madebytaylahrose. Take heed of your mirror decals! 😉x
Don't be sad. We handle stress and anxiety, and depression in different ways. And it has its way to bring us down in ways you didn't this was possible. But it all depends on how we handle it and not let it get to you. And always the best was is to let it out and talk with a friend or family. Or even on here with complete strangers. We are all here for one another. We just have to break the wall of the one thing that scares most of us. And that is opening up and letting someone see how you are hurting. And not worry that they are going to make fun of you for it. The more you hold it in, the harder it is to let it go. And then it can lead you down a road that has no out. It is only when we can open up that we can see the light in the darkness. But always feel free to talk to someone, anyone. We are all here for one another. Stay strong and keep up the great work, and enjoy that new baby niece.
We all have our bad days… it’s a real look at small business. I run one too and it’s not all sales all the time. It’s the grind and the work put in. I love your vlogs… keep being you ❤
Thank you so much for your support and kind words, it means so much! I just want this space to be a transparent and honest one💖
Look I’m a single mom I was the mom and the dad and starting my own business was so hard especially when you have invested so much of your money in time. It’s easy to want to quit or not try but your dreams don’t come true with no effort. Working a job job is hard when your passion is else where. I’ve struggled with this for years. And I got to the point where I quit for over 2 years and I have found it’s so so so so hard to be noticed again. But you gotta keep at it. Cause this feeling you have won’t last forever . You are beautiful and so talented. Keep swimming !! And celebrate you!!
Thank you so much lovely! Major props to you. Anyone who is a parent, especially mothers are superhuman. How anyone can juggle anything on top of being a mom is beyond me. You’re amazing 💖💖💖
I feel you I ended up being off of work for 4months due to stress and anxiety.
There is no problem with you talking or venting at least you are letting it out and not letting it stew on your mind
I’m so sorry to hear that lovely, but take as much time as you need! Sending as much as I can your way 🥰💖
I totally get it, I experience the same things (except the work thing). It makes me sad that you blame yourself for feeling a certain way for something you can't really control in a way. 😢 (I mean.. I do that to myself too sometimes.) Your feelings are just as valid as anyone else's. I really hope you're feeling better soon!♥
Thank you so much lovely! Sending love your way too! 🥰💖
Aww 💕💕 sending love and positivity you’re doing great and it’s okay to sometimes not be okay even if you feel like you don’t have a reason to feel the way you do. It’s okay! You’re not alone! Remember that 💕💕💕
Thank you so much!! 💖💖💖
This is so true though. This is a prime example of how toxic the “professional image” is for those who dare to break barriers with their style. It’s so mentally damaging suppressing our real selves for the sake of looking “professional” I can do my job just as well with my tattoos, piercings and colourful hair on show, in fact allowing a person to express themselves in a work environment is only going to allow that person to thrive more. Ugh. I hope you’re doing a bit better now lovely xx
I wish I could speak openly about how toxic a lot of my work experiences have been but I’m just glad it’s now in the past. The whole image thing is horrendous and should never be a priority over other things that SHOULD be a priority. Exactly! A bit of ink doesn’t change our ability to work. Madness isn’t it! I’m doing so much better thank you so much lovely for all the support 🖤🖤🖤
Your feelings are valid, I really want to say you are a wonderful, beautiful young woman. I hope soon your business will be enough to allow you to give up a job that doesn’t suit your awesome personality. BTW I love the Stella! It is hard to find patterned satin.
I just discovered you and really apreciate you opening up. New subscriber here. i am excited to follow your journey. (PS... I totally relate with your work topic and feelings)
Thank you for sharing your vulnerable moments with us. I too don't do well in a work environment, and I fully understand what you meant. I am currently building a business myself and hopefully being able to create in my own space will make me feel better.
It’s hard to explain some times but the cliche work environment 100% isn’t for everyone is it? I’m routing for you! Go and smash it! Sending as much love as I can 💖
I think you are amazing! You have great work ethic and being consistent with your postings is going to help build your business. Watching your RUclips videos helped lift me from a horrible depression recently and inspired me to keep going with my sewing :-).
That’s so so kind, THANK YOU! Aww lovely, depression SUCKS, but you’re amazing and you can do anything! One step at a time and I’m so glad my videos gave you a little bit of happiness! Sending all the love and good vibes your way! Remember that you’re amazing! 💖
💚 I just found you!!! Hi from Indiana USA
You don't need to apologise this is real life, your not alone in feeling this way,made me cry too, but we carry on and do what we have to do, well done for sharing.❤
You and your products are lovely. Keep that chin up. It’s hard work working and running a small business and you’re doing amazing. As well as your products, do you also make the branded labels on them yourself? x
I now how u feel some days I feel I don’t want to wake up
Thank you for sharing your struggles. Being neuroatypic makes me feel so alone, it's hard to juggle with having a business and being creative. I also can relate to the struggle of being in a work environment, it got so bad for me that I had to be put on disability. That's what made me finally take the jump and open my creative business, which makes me lose a lot of money at the moment, but I had to have something in my life to keep going... so thank you for making me see that I'm not the only one!
Hi, honey! I love what you do and just don't have the courage to start my own business as you did! Always here to talk, if you want to! 🥰😘
You can do it!! You’ll never know unless you try and you’d rather try something and risk it maybe not working out then looking back in a few years time and regretting never trying, I believe in you! And thank you so much for your support 🥰💖
Big hugs. Love the items you make. Take care.
Thank you so much! 🥰💖

First off you are completely allowed to be upset and feel whatever it is that you are feeling. You are entitled to those feelings. Secondly a standard work environment isn’t for everyone I have learned this too, and it sucks to feel like you are being pressured into one. Please know that we see you for exactly who you are, and love you for it. I am sorry you are struggling so badly right now, but don’t beat yourself up for having emotions or expressing them.
Thank you so so much 🥺🥺🥺💖💖💖
I am a mom to two, and step mom to 3. Three out of the 5 have ADHD and I also am a CPC who works with Adults who have ADHD. I hear you. I understand. The emotions, the intrusive thoughts, all of it. Problems are relative. If it's important to you, then it's important. Nothing more to be said. It's good that you are conscious of your feelings. Best way is to get it out and have a good support system around you. XOXO
Aww lovely ❤ Blub away... sending big hugs. Struggling with mental health is really hard but you are doing amazingly running a small business, working and having a life!
Have you tried pound a meter fabric btw...fabric changes but a good variety 😊😊
Thank you so much lovely, that’s so sweet of you! 🥺 I’ve heard of it but never shopped on there but I’ll have a nosey, thanks angel! 💖💖💖
We are only human and I think it’s important for us, when we can, to share the not so fun/nice parts of the small business experience especially when we also have careers and family as well. So thank you for sharing and know you are not alone, I have similar struggles too and haven’t been able to share them on my channel yet. SN i saw that you glued the lanyard together and don’t have any tags on them. May I suggest gluing your tags on before your finishing knit. 27:23
Exactly! Nobody is perfect and nobody’s life is either and I want to show that here on my little space on the internet! I’m so lucky I’ve got lovely people like you watching! 🥰 thank you so much!💖
I’m so sorry you’re struggling 😢x I pray our Heavenly Father comforts you and strengthens you in Jesus name amen 🙏
Thank you lovely, I’m doing so much better now 💖🥰
A blip.... keep going. Look how far you have come in such a short time. Don't let the ADHD mind monkeys tell you otherwise. ❤
🥺🥺🥺💖💖💖
