Senior cats are absolute delights! In full transparency when i was adopting my first cat I fully adopted her and still felt unsure/anxious the first night no matter how much i overthought the process. Almost 3 years later and my 6 year old kitty is my soulmate. Its totally valid to feel unsure or not fully ready/a "perfect" fit for a cat, but some time really works wonders if you do end up adopting this kitty and taking your time to learn everything about her as she will do the same for you ❤️
I also went back on meds last year and it was the best choice ever. Just know most of the time it’ll be trial and error to find what works for you so hang in there- it gets better! Thanks for sharing!
Keegan, I don’t think you understand how much I look forward to ur Monday videos to start my week or how happy I get to relax after classes and watch ur hr long video🫶🏽 its a tradition, i have to watch ur Monday video for a good start to my week 😭 I appreciate your hard work and vulnerability. Though I don’t actively chat in the comments I do chat from time to time like now (when I get an overwhelming amount of joy and need to express my gratitude). Have a wonderful week💗 I used to watch your back to school/ room tours/ advice content when I was in middle school (I’m in my 3rd yr of college now) then left until 9 months ago (ur 2024 video) and I’ve been watching your videos ever since.
YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME OMG!!!!!! thank you so much for being here and thank you so much for saying this. it really felt like getting a hug while reading this I love you
As I've said before, whether or not you go back on Accutane you should still really go to your primary doctor and get your hormones tested (i believe its blood work they do) because the breaking out (even after you finished accutane the first 2 times) can be a sign of a hormone disorder and can possibly be treated.
@@KeeganActonyou should try an internal medicine doctor/ function medicine doctor first. They run a bunch of tests to heal you from within. Usually they don’t accept insurance but it’s possible it’s a larger issue if 2 rounds of accutane hasn’t helped your acne
The cat your friend found is so cute! Loved to see her happy and adapting - and if you end up with her, you're going to be a great cat mom - I was so nervous when I adopted Jon but he is so much more then my cat: he is my baby, my pal, and I feel like I didn't just rescued him, but that he rescued me too!
Hi Keegan, Idk why but I've been obsessed with your videos lately (maybe because autumn is my fav), anyways I love how open you are about your mental health. I, myself, have been struggling with anxiety for the last two months and you being so open about your struggles makes me feel a little less alone, as sometimes these mental health issues can make you feel like you're the only one in the world having these problems. I'd definitely love it if you could share your experience with going on meds!!!
this means so much to me!! thank you so much for saying that and thank you so much for being here. im so sorry to hear that you've been struggling with anxiety this past couple of months. you saying this also made me feel less alone!! we're in this together!!
Keegan, Thank you for being so open/honest about medication. Medication CAN help people but it has to be the right one. If you decide to go on it, remember that it takes at least 30 days for your body to adjust and that there isn't 1 medication for everyone. It may take some time to find the correct one. Continue being open with your therapist. I feel that you should keep the transparency in your videos but do timestamps so they can skip ahead if people don't want to hear about it. HAPPY FALL from PA!
Yes this! And please share what you’re willing to regarding medication. I’m an older viewer. chronic depression and anxiety runs in my family and after many years of not wanting to I decided it was time to seek help myself, and I have been on medication for quite some time, probably for the rest of my life. That being said, it helps me immensely. I’ve had to switch medication’s over the years as they quit working after some time . not everyone will the medication, but for me mine was so severe. I had to do something. For anyone suffering through anxiety and depression, my heart goes out to you. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.
Dear Keegan , thank you so much for creating these entertaining videos for us, you don't know how much I love watching ur videos and how much of an inspiration you are to me
Hopefully you can talk about things, it has had me wondering what it could be for awhile. Just remember the vlog is here to support you and listen to your thoughts.
I tried antidepressants and had really bad reaction to them. I now take L tryptophan (essentially become serotonin), GABA, Dopa Mucuna (dopamine) you can try more natural options first and see. I know they are a bit more expensive but it is worth it. I truly believe that these saved my life. I hope they help you too.
I'm a pastor's wife and many people feel like taking meds is not trusting God. I do trust God and i know that He gives wisdom to doctors to help us. We never think twice about calling a doctor if we break a bone, have a sinus problem or (lol) a skin problem. It's not a cop out, it's not giving up, it's not being weak. It's using the resources available to us to make our life better.
I'm so happy the senior kitty has found a new home and I hope integration goes well. My two senior kitties that I just lost in the last year were both 19 years old , so a 10yo is barely middle aged. The baby has a lot of good life left.
20:52 if you're comfortable with it I would love it if you'd share your experience with medicine for mental health ussues. I'm wanting to try them too.
this makes me happy!! im thinking of sharing but maybe adding time stamps so people can skip who dont want to know. I have my first real appointment this Thursday! fingers crossed
I'll start by saying I love doing my nails and I change my gel polish at least once a week. Gel polish cannot be removed with regular polish remover. If you were to put an air dry top coat over gel polish you wouldn't get the long wear benefits or shine you get from gel polish. Also, are you prepping your nails before you paint them? You need to remove the cuticle from your nail bed and dehydrate them first. That process gives you a clean, defined space to paint on and helps it not get on your skin. I hope this helps a little! 💅
Omg I stumbled upon you as I’ve been hyperfixating on moving vlogs bc I’m moving soon but I loved this video!! 1. Adopt a senior cat!!! I adopted a 10 year old girly and she is the best girl in the world :) my life has changed for the better since getting her and seniors are soo chill and nice 2. Loved the openness about mental health!!
Going on medication was THE BEST decision I could have ever made!! Having a baseline that is functional changes absolutely everything. Sending you love. 💕 Edit to add: try Essie Expressie nail polish! It dries sooo fast.
Keegan, I hope things look up for you!! Also wanted to say that you got this!! ☺️ so proud of you! Been watching you since you’ve been in college! I kinda liked the green sheets on your bed, it looked very fresh! Thank you for sharing your journey! Your videos make my day! Much hugs to you!! 🙂❤
Just found ur channel and im obsessed 💕🩷girl, it’s so refreshing finding a youtuber with a job as well, i think it makes u more down to earth, in touch and relatable. If you aren’t happy in work, maybe consider a part time position or a change! Sometimes it feels like we need a drastic change when all we need is a small change (ie, same position, different company, same company, different position) xxx
Thank you for sharing what you do. Glad you made another appt. You should feel safe and comfy with a doctor, any doctor. I’ve been on medication since I lost my dad and often have panic attacks. I don’t like being dependent on them but if I didn’t have them, I don’t know what I would do. See you next monday. Sending all the hugs ❤❤
I think being open about issues and meds is a good thing. When I went thru menopause, I started having severe anxiety. Meds have changed everything. I feel so much better. Make sure to let your dr know if you have issues with the meds. Not every med is right for everyone. Hopefully you'll find the right meds. Also this weather sucks. I saw that according to the 10 day forecast it's supposed to get into the 90's starting this coming Monday. The heat is making me super sleepy! ZZZzzzz
im so happy to hear that meds were helpful for you!! that makes me feel so hopeful! I feel the same way about the heat I wish it would cool down already
Keegan! It’s your nail polish big sister 😉 I had to pause the video to type this - if you think medication will help, I 100% recommend it! I know it’s not an easy step to take, but it has been so so beneficial for me personally. Think about it like this - your brain just isn’t making the right chemicals right now, and the medicine helps it to make those chemicals. If people’s blood cells aren’t behaving correctly, they take medicine, and no one bats an eye. I will say, be sure to keep open communication with your therapist and psychiatrist as you figure out what works best - you may need to change dosages/medications/etc, but a lot of these medicines really need to be taken consistently (don’t do what I did and stop when you start to feel better. It’s hard to remember that you’re feeling better because of the medicine). All of that to say - I know this is hard. But it is so so worth it. Also, now you’ve got me thinking that if you can take the step towards medication, maybe I can finally take the step towards therapy.
THIS WAS SUCH A HELPFUL WAY OF LOOKING AT IT THANK YOU!!!! also for therapy, I was so intimated to start and share everything with someone new but every session I felt more and more comfortable. the beginning is uncomfortable but in the long term it is so helpful
Also Keegan you should look into joining an IOP group. It’s a therapy group that teaches a ton of DBT skills. I was feeling exactly like you and medication didn’t work for me but the group is working really well. It’s a pretty big time commitment but it’s had a huge impact on my life.
@@KeeganActon for sure! And they are usually cheaper than regular therapy actually! My copay was $0 for 8 total weeks ! Just make sure you go to a DBT themed one not a substance abuse IOP bc that’s more of a support group not a therapy group!
We currently have a senior cat. Had her since she was a baby!! Not sure how the process would be starting at the end, but it can’t be bad! We’ve adopted kittens and a “teen” (5 year old) cat and all have gone so well!!
@@KeeganActon all 4 of my cats love those plasticky spring toys! My old girl isn't picky and will eat/play with anything around😂 She does LOVE cheese sticks though hahaha
I switched to doing at home gel nails and I love it. They stay on 2-3 weeks without peeling up and whenever I want to switch the color I just peel them off. It doesn’t ruin my nails underneath and it’s really fast to take off. 😊
Also, one more thing!! Maybe this will make you chuckle. I subbed for a middle school teacher today, and I opened his desk drawer because I needed a paper clip and a post it note… I found a note card with all the Taylor swift albums written on there! Like he wrote 1-11 and listed each of her albums! I thought it was so cute! And he’s only like 30 I assume, but i thought it was so cute/ funny because I think he was trying to stay relevant with the students lol! 😁 You would have been so proud! 😆
That sleep app seems so cool, I might get it! My sleep patterns are so weird like I can rarely stay asleep all night long, I almost always wake up like 6 times a night probably, it's insane and makes me stay sleepy almost all day😭👍🏻
As a nail polish girl 💅🤪 the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is really good! It acts more like gel than regular polish but applies and removes like normal polish. I also like using its top coat on normal polishes; it makes them last so much longer and doesn't chip with the miracle gel on top. Also, getting a small makeup brush, like for eyeliner, and dipping it in nail polish remover works really well to clean up around your nails after painting!
Wait WDYM you ONLY got one day off but your co-worker got 2? How's that fair. OMG i feel so sorry for Americans, they get dealt with not so good working conditions and they think it's normal. Like i don't even know where to start. One day of PTO for working 2 days, that too on a weekend. And i hope it's an EXTRA PTO day, not the PTO days pool you have. I'm sorry but you got fleeced, and tbh idk why you were so happy about it. At minimum it should have been 2 PTO days and maybe some extra pay too for working on weekends. Doesn't matter if you spent the day flying or not, it's still considered work cos you're on a work trip. I am just speechless Keegan, just simply speechless.
Companies these days don’t seem to care. She should have gotten extra pay for working outside of scheduled hours and either 2 days off to begin the week or 1 day off and an extra day added to PTO bank to use another day.
@@SarahSchneider2 Yea i guess. Just everything about it sounds so wrong and idk if the stuff she goes through is normal in the US or maybe that she doesn't have that much real world work experience that she thinks those things are normal. I think this is her second real world proper job Some of the stories she tell are like quite odd like her last job prohibited her from telling anyone she was laid off for 2 weeks, that was super strange. this one has 0 flexibility when it comes to WFH, it's strictly one day a week and that too on a Wednesday and once she asked if she could WFH on a non Wednesday and got approval but then the next day she was told she had make up an office day. I just hope she establishes some sort of boundaries otherwise employers just walk over the workers who just agree with everything they say. She should have asked for additional day off
@@rachelv9441 US culture is a LOT of "work until you are sick/broken and don't complain or you'll be fired". I am personally trying to leave but its not an option for a lot of people. also propaganda has taught some to be proud of working 40, 50, 60+ hour weeks
This doesn’t apply to everyone…and I am not a doctor but a lot of people in my life have had a thyroid imbalance which led to depression and it may be worth getting bloodwork on your thyroid ❤
May want to explore how the medication you are on for your skin may be effecting your mental health as I have heard a side effect is depression. Maybe gettin off that could improve things without having to get on an additional medication. Just good for thought.
Hi Keegan, I recommend ESSIE Gel Couture top coat on all my manicures. The gel kits on amazon are for soaking off. I agree that the gel kits are not for me. I just bought a kit and had buyers remorse and took it back. Im going to stick to my ESSIE manicures at home.
Hey Keegan. I'm not a doctor but I think depression can be a sideffect of accutane. And you're taking it now for quite a long period of time. So maybe you should stop this first before you consider to take antidepressants
Medication, it's a difficult one. They take time to work, while your body adjusts, and then you can't just stop taking them, you have to see your doctor to go about getting off them gradually. Be very careful if you decide to go ahead with it. xxxx
As a mental health counselor and the mother of a child on the autism spectrum, I find that it is very irresponsible for you to throw terms like hyper fixation around. They are not just a cool and trendy word to use when Enjoy something. Unless you were on the autism spectrum or neurodivergent, You have no business using that medical term .
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor myself…1. You don’t know her diagnoses or lack thereof and 2. It’s a common symptom of ADHD but people with AND without it can experience hyper fixation.
I am so sorry!!! I did not know it had any association with autism or neurodivergent. i truly thought it was another way of talking about something you're "obsessed with" thank you for letting me know. ill make an intentional effort to remove it form my vocabulary
Shame on you, as a mental health counselor you should show some grace. As a mother of two kids with anxiety they very much can hyper fixate on things. Autism is not the only diagnosis with the symptom.
As someone who is neurodivergent and does hyperfixate on things myself, I understood what she meant and she didn’t do anything wrong using that word. Perhaps she actually does hyperfixate, there are many reasons why someone would. As a counselor, you should also know better than to speak to someone like that (especially someone who has shared she has anxiety and is sensitive to others’ feelings) or to assume that she doesn’t have a reason when you are not her counselor and when it is her business to share things you may not be privy to.
Hi Keegan 🙂 I'm impressed how you got such a small amount of cream cheese to cover two bagels 🥯. I'm looking forward to watching 'Keegan's nail art videos' in the near future. In the UK, we have Strictly 🕺💃, where celebrities (sort of) dance and it gets huge viewing figures. Series champions tend to get a huge boost to their career.
Senior cats are absolute delights! In full transparency when i was adopting my first cat I fully adopted her and still felt unsure/anxious the first night no matter how much i overthought the process.

reading this eased my anxieties a lot thank you so much for saying this!!! also so happy your found your soulmate kitty!!
Senior cats are amazing!!!
I also went back on meds last year and it was the best choice ever. Just know most of the time it’ll be trial and error to find what works for you so hang in there- it gets better! Thanks for sharing!
thank you so much!! this definitely helps me set some lower expectations. im so glad they were helpful for you!!
Same:)) 💕💕
Yes, I started this year and it’s done wonders!!
love the switch to fall music! feels so cozy

The vibe of this video was so chill, same with your last video - idk if it’s the music or the time lapses with the music but I love it!
yay!! I wanted to switch up the music to having a more "fall/autumn vibe" and I think it made it feel chill haha
18:13 idk why but the way the waffle appeared out of nowhere was so funny to me 😂
hahahahah
As I've said before, whether or not you go back on Accutane you should still really go to your primary doctor and get your hormones tested (i believe its blood work they do) because the breaking out (even after you finished accutane the first 2 times) can be a sign of a hormone disorder and can possibly be treated.
I completely agree with you!! I dont have a PCP I really need to get one so I can do this
@@KeeganActonyou should try an internal medicine doctor/ function medicine doctor first. They run a bunch of tests to heal you from within. Usually they don’t accept insurance but it’s possible it’s a larger issue if 2 rounds of accutane hasn’t helped your acne

That sleep app seems so cool, I might get it! My sleep patterns are so weird like I can rarely stay asleep all night long, I almost always wake up like 6 times a night probably, it's insane and makes me stay sleepy almost all day😭👍🏻
Girl! I want it too. My sleep patterns are trash.
I know they have a free week long trial!! it really showed me how often I wake up throughout the night
I just went on my first work trip too!! To Chicago! It was exhausting but a great experience!
omg congrats on your first work trip!! no one prepares you for how Turing they are lol
As a nail polish girl 💅🤪 the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is really good! It acts more like gel than regular polish but applies and removes like normal polish. I also like using its top coat on normal polishes; it makes them last so much longer and doesn't chip with the miracle gel on top. Also, getting a small makeup brush, like for eyeliner, and dipping it in nail polish remover works really well to clean up around your nails after painting!
the eyeliner brush is a genius idea!!!
Wait WDYM you ONLY got one day off but your co-worker got 2? How's that fair. OMG i feel so sorry for Americans, they get dealt with not so good working conditions and they think it's normal. Like i don't even know where to start. One day of PTO for working 2 days, that too on a weekend. And i hope it's an EXTRA PTO day, not the PTO days pool you have. I'm sorry but you got fleeced, and tbh idk why you were so happy about it. At minimum it should have been 2 PTO days and maybe some extra pay too for working on weekends. Doesn't matter if you spent the day flying or not, it's still considered work cos you're on a work trip. I am just speechless Keegan, just simply speechless.
Companies these days don’t seem to care. She should have gotten extra pay for working outside of scheduled hours and either 2 days off to begin the week or 1 day off and an extra day added to PTO bank to use another day.
@@SarahSchneider2 Yea i guess. Just everything about it sounds so wrong and idk if the stuff she goes through is normal in the US or maybe that she doesn't have that much real world work experience that she thinks those things are normal. I think this is her second real world proper job Some of the stories she tell are like quite odd like her last job prohibited her from telling anyone she was laid off for 2 weeks, that was super strange. this one has 0 flexibility when it comes to WFH, it's strictly one day a week and that too on a Wednesday and once she asked if she could WFH on a non Wednesday and got approval but then the next day she was told she had make up an office day. I just hope she establishes some sort of boundaries otherwise employers just walk over the workers who just agree with everything they say. She should have asked for additional day off
@@rachelv9441 sadly sometimes in the USA it’s like this and if you voice your opinions it can sometimes hurt your position with the company
@@rachelv9441 US culture is a LOT of "work until you are sick/broken and don't complain or you'll be fired". I am personally trying to leave but its not an option for a lot of people. also propaganda has taught some to be proud of working 40, 50, 60+ hour weeks
that was so unfair 😢
Thank you for being so open!
thank YOU for giving me the space to feel comfortable being open :)
14:31... First things first, I'm the realest! I can hold you down, like I'm giving lessons in physics...
hahahaha
Your title reminded me I have PTO I can use now in my new position at work yeehaw 😂
omg girl take your pto!!!!! how are you liking your new position at work?
I have been on depression meds for 30+ years. The right medication can be amazing.
I have my first appointment on Thursday. I hope it goes well!!
Definitely share the medication experience please, whatever you’re comfortable sharing 💕 thank you for sharing what you did in this video! 💕
this means so much!! thank you for making me comfortable sharing
@@KeeganActon Full support here 💕
Aloha from Hawaii the best part of this video is fell recipe
hiiii
Try using expressie nail polish! It drys so fast and stays long
This doesn’t apply to everyone…and I am not a doctor but a lot of people in my life have had a thyroid imbalance which led to depression and it may be worth getting bloodwork on your thyroid ❤
I will look into that!! thank you!!
Love this one, Keegan!❤
yayyy
I’d like to share I take antidepressant and anxiety meds . Been doing well with the combo I’m on. Unfortunately it takes time for the meds to work .
im so glad they're helping you!! if you dont mind me asking, how long did they take for it to work for you?
@@KeeganActon it took me 6 to 8 weeks for the medicine to reach its full effect
May want to explore how the medication you are on for your skin may be effecting your mental health as I have heard a side effect is depression. Maybe gettin off that could improve things without having to get on an additional medication. Just good for thought.
ive been off it for 2 months now (I dont think its fully out of my system yet) but my therpast and I talked about that a lot
Love this Keegan 😊
Hi Keegan, I recommend ESSIE Gel Couture top coat on all my manicures. The gel kits on amazon are for soaking off. I agree that the gel kits are not for me. I just bought a kit and had buyers remorse and took it back. Im going to stick to my ESSIE manicures at home.
can you take that one off with regular nail polish remover?
Hi! Yes you can! 😃 You can find it at target or most drugstores.
mental health meds literally changed my life, I hope it works out for you
Happy Monday Keegan! Could you link the fall recipes?
they were lowkey gross so idk id recommend hahah
I know I’m late, and you’ll probably won’t see this, but antidepressants changed my life for the better so much. Good luck with it all moving forward.
Love you Keegan!!
love you too!!!
I have the same after gym face mist and I love it.
it's so good!! im actually obsessed with it im glad its not just me who uses it
❤❤17:46. SO CUTE!!!🗳️🗳️🗳️I voted today. YAYYY
yay!!!!! voting is the coolest thing a person can do
Hey Keegan. I'm not a doctor but I think depression can be a sideffect of accutane. And you're taking it now for quite a long period of time. So maybe you should stop this first before you consider to take antidepressants
I stopped taking it for a couple of months to see how it would affect me and no change :(
If you’re a nail picker I would avoid a gel kit. Picking of gel destroys your nails
And not doing gel right and curing for a long time can give you a gel allergy
I didn't know that!! I just bought a gel nail kit on prime day and now im kinda regretting it
@@KeeganActon the soak off process can take a long time too if you’re impatient like me
After October 's November
So you neeeeeed way more sleep and have you considered that you hate your job? You were so happy on monday!!!
oh yes that is 100% it hahahah
Hello Keegan
hey!!
i have used meds and my mother just started and she is so happy. I'm happy for you to see if you can get what you need
that makes me so hopeful!!! thank you so much for sharing that ahhh
you should get an oura ring i feel like you would like it
I want one so bad but I struggle justifying the pice lol
@@KeeganActon i’ve had it for 3 months and it fully is worth it
Lauren just got a kitten. Did you watch that video?
yes!! lemon is so cute!!!
Amazing
Medication, it's a difficult one. They take time to work, while your body adjusts, and then you can't just stop taking them, you have to see your doctor to go about getting off them gradually. Be very careful if you decide to go ahead with it. xxxx
I still haven't gone to a new doctor for it because its so hard to find a good doctor

As a mental health counselor and the mother of a child on the autism spectrum, I find that it is very irresponsible for you to throw terms like hyper fixation around. They are not just a cool and trendy word to use when Enjoy something. Unless you were on the autism spectrum or neurodivergent, You have no business using that medical term .
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor myself…1. You don’t know her diagnoses or lack thereof and 2. It’s a common symptom of ADHD but people with AND without it can experience hyper fixation.
I am so sorry!!! I did not know it had any association with autism or neurodivergent. i truly thought it was another way of talking about something you're "obsessed with" thank you for letting me know. ill make an intentional effort to remove it form my vocabulary
Shame on you, as a mental health counselor you should show some grace. As a mother of two kids with anxiety they very much can hyper fixate on things. Autism is not the only diagnosis with the symptom.
As someone who is neurodivergent and does hyperfixate on things myself, I understood what she meant and she didn’t do anything wrong using that word. Perhaps she actually does hyperfixate, there are many reasons why someone would. As a counselor, you should also know better than to speak to someone like that (especially someone who has shared she has anxiety and is sensitive to others’ feelings) or to assume that she doesn’t have a reason when you are not her counselor and when it is her business to share things you may not be privy to.
Hi Keegan 🙂
I'm impressed how you got such a small amount of cream cheese to cover two bagels 🥯. I'm looking forward to watching 'Keegan's nail art videos' in the near future. In the UK, we have Strictly 🕺💃, where celebrities (sort of) dance and it gets huge viewing figures. Series champions tend to get a huge boost to their career.
I didn't know they had a UK version!! I want to watch it now too
