Something my dad said when I was having a hard time in high school was that most suicidal people dont want to actually die, they want to finally start living. And I'll probably be 90 years old with his words still stuck in my head. Taking time for yourself is so important.
also, i take prozac along with like 5 other anxiety medications. DO NOT LET ANYONE make you feel bad about taking medications. some people's brain chemistry is off and it's amazing we have these options now. it is not a cure and its a hard process to find what medication works for you (lexapro, zoloft, prozac, etc) but in the end it is worth it because your life is worth it. i suggest getting a whole care team, a doctor, psychologist and psychiatrist!
Yes this is so true!! I take Wellbutrin and Cymbalta for my depression and another medication for my anxiety. It’s totally fine to take meds and it’s so worth it to feel the good effects of taking them.
Emilia Klein i go to boarding school and i didn't want people to know i have anxiety but i have to keep my med bottles in my room and whenever anyone comes in they can see it so now i don't try to hide it and i don't rly care because it doesn't make me that much different
This hurt me to watch you like this. I’m sorry... Don’t ever feel like a burden or a failure because you feel like this. Who cares what anyone else thinks. But I know I speak for a lot of us that we are here backing you up every step of the way. I am praying for you. Just focus on yourself and loving yourself hun, you will get through this, I know it’s not easy ❤️
this makes me feel so much less alone. i’ve dealt with depression for so long & i’ve thought about being gone so much. it was so good to hear this, and makes me feel less alone. thank u for this. i love u so much.
I know exactly how that feels. Please don't ever feel like you're alone. We're all in the same boat. We gotta stick together and work through it together even if it's hard. Talking to someone is the best thing you can do. You're not going to like it at the time and it'll probably be uncomfortable for both of you but afterwards you'll feel better. And you might be able to get whatever help you need before it's too late. I don't know you but you are an amazing person. I know it might be hard but you should talk to someone you trust. I talked to my best friend and she helped me get the help I needed. I hop everything works out for you
Here is a quote that a pastor said at my uncles funeral for committing suicide was “Don’t make a permanent decision for a temporary situation” -Pastor Mike
When life pushes you down and you think it’s impossible for you to get back up reach up to Jesus and he’ll get you right back on your feet and he’ll lead you through to the bright end of the tunnel. AND DONT FORGET- every day you are trying your best..is everyday you’re get better and stronger❤ it’s a day you are a day closer to your goal while becoming a more strong and beautiful human through it❤❤❤ you are remarkable if you have the courage to smile everyday no matter what you go through, don’t forget Jesus ❤s u.
I am so unbelievably proud of you for sharing this and being vulnerable. A similar story like this occured with my younger sister this time last year so I really feel for you and your family. You got this Josie xxx, sending love
It’s really toxic for yourself to try and perceive this perfect life with “positive vibes only🤪” etc when that’s impossible especially for a teenager. You should never feel ashamed to be sad or depressed. I’m so happy you were able to be raw and honest of what you’re going through
aw josie... i live in the same dorm as you, and i have been wondering why you weren’t here anymore, and i’m so so sorry to hear that this happened to you. i’m glad to hear you’re working on getting better, though, because the first step is always so hard, and i’m so proud of you for taking it. 💕
the fact that josie has taken the time out to heart every single one of these comments.... that shows a caring, compassionate person. to anyone who needs to hear it: life will always have its ups and downs. but remember that you have survived 100% of your bad days so far - you have *got* this
I'm so sorry you've felt like this for so long and I understand how you feel. Nobody deserves to feel how you're feeling, but please always remind yourself that you are worthy and you are loved! I always do this whenever I get bad thoughts and it really helps. You will always have so much love and support behind you!
i love you josie. you’re so incredibly strong for being able to share the downsides of your life with the thousands of people who admire you. your determination to grow from the experience perfectly exemplifies how brave you truly are, and i admire you for continuing to fight even when it feels like there’s nothing left for you to do. i hope you’ll always choose to fight and to give life a chance because things do get better. stay strong ❤️
we all love you so much Josie❤️ i know you have talked about being religious in the past, i thought if you want to find a community like within that to support you and help you get better, in fall when you return to school there’s this church retreat program called TEC in the minneapolis area. It’s for high schoolers but as a college student you could help lead the weekend and be apart of the team with the juniors and seniors. You were really brave telling us what happen and they do a similar thing there with talks and you hear others too. Just a suggestion for next year because faith has always been a big part of growth. I love you stay strong❤️
I cannot thank you enough for this josie. knowing that someone i look up to has gone through some of the same things i have makes me feel so much better. i really appreciate your vulnerability and willingness to share your story. i’m in a much better place now and i hope you’re getting there too❤️❤️
YOU’RE NOT A BURDEN! I was in a hospital for 2 months for my anxiety disorders. You sharing this will help SO many people. It helps me not feel so alone with what I go through sometimes. ❤️❤️❤️
omg Josie 🥺 I'm sorry for what you've been through. But we are all here for you and praying for you. I know this is the worst feeling anyone can feel and I'm rooting for you, I love you ❤️
this video was so eye opening to me and i’m sure so many others. i now how hard it must’ve been to make this, but thank you. for me at time i think that i’m living such a bad life and i stride to be like people like you who seem to be perfect and living perfect lives but knowing that everyone, even those whose live seem perfect, are going through something. this is so helpful for me because i feel like i’m not alone and i’m not the only one who struggles💗💗💗
I hope you know that we are so proud of you and would never be upset with you!! 💖 As a person who looks up to you I will always be here for you through thick and thin, you have helped me through my problems and dark times. I wish I could explain even half of how you have helped me and so many others. We love you and will always be here for you Josie🥺💗
This breaks my heart❤️. Last year around this time I was sick I missed school for about 1 week and when I had to go back I was super scared because I got anxious when ever I had school. I didn’t want to be alive . But now I’m totally happy and I’m in the best stage right now. I wish you the best for ur future. love you ❤️. Edit thank you so much 😊 for all the likes❤️
sending all my love josie. and don’t feel like a failure, so many people suffer from depression and anxiety, even me. I have definitely been at that low point too and it’s the worst feeling ever. i’m so sorry that you had to feel that xx working out definitely helped me a lot, so i hope that works for you too xx
first off thank you for leaving your comments on, and thank you for sharing something so personal. i always looked at influencers like you envy how perfect and effortless you seemed, but this was something raw and pure. this showed me that no matter who you are pain is pain and it will eventually catch up to us. i hope your mentally doing much better and physically/emotionally growing. i'm also keeping your family in my thoughts. thank you for being you josie 💙
this is such an amazing video. everyone breaks sometime or another and the fact that you put this online is incredible. you are showing others that there is no shame in breaking. thank you
im proud of you for making a decision that will better you. i know exactly how you feel and actually had a scarily similar experience like yours. love you
Hey Josie, I can’t image what you are going through and what you went through . I hope you continue getting better you deserve the world. Don’t think you aren’t I hope you have an amazing break at home I love you so much if you need someone to talk to just let me know I’m 18 and a lot of shit happens but we have to continue being strong!! ♡
You are making a positive impact. I’ve never heard anyone talk about the things I went through too. I went to a hospital. I was so depressed. I was in a psych unit. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for telling your story. Thank you for living. Thank you And there is hope. There is always hope
Sometimes the most positive impact you can have on a platform like this is being vulnerable like this. So often people get wrapped up in the idea of being “perfect” and like they have everything together all the time, which in some ways can be harmful to not only the creator but the viewers. By you opening up and sharing your story you have probably touched not only me, but so many other people but letting everybody know that this is real life, you go through real shit, with real emotions, and downfalls and that is okay. I can probably speak for everybody when I say I am so proud to be one of your subscribers now more than ever after this video. You have so much going for you Josie and it’s amazing that you’re willing to share your story. Thank you for that. Your honesty thoughts and feelings are valued and appreciate. Like my mom always tells me “this is a short segment in your life, it’s hard now but work towards better days not for anybody else but for yourself”❤️ lots of love Josie❤️
Awww Josie!!🥺🥺 I’m so sorry you had to go through this! I just want you to know that so many people love you and we are here for you.💞 it will get better. Just keep pushing through it!🦋✨
I cried so hard watching this my first semester of college was fall ‘19 and it was so hard for me too. I always felt alone and no one was there for me. I spent so much time crying and hating it there so the online switch for this pandemic helped me because now I’m home with my family again. I love you and your channel and respect you so much more to know I went through the same struggles as you. 😭
I totally felt this... I felt this freshman year of college was just awful and I felt so sad but I finally figured out life is so worth it but I am so proud of you and I hope you get better fast love you ❤️🥺
I was having the worst anxiety of my life start of nov, and medication was never an option bc I was scared of the side effects. But for anyone who is skeptical, give it a try. It has changed me for the better, everyday I feel myself relieving from these anxious thoughts and physical feelings. ❤️ Hope everyone finds the help they need.
i know you posted this 5 months ago but, i lost my preschool best friend to brain cancer and i know the pain and i am here to tell you that it doesn’t get easier because it’s impossible not to miss them but but you will get stronger from it and they will stay alive in your heart
It breaks my heart every time you invalidate yourself! You are so strong and amazing and the fact that you want to share your story to help people is spreading so much more positivity than trying to pretend you’re happy for a video. Know that you are so loved, stay strong. It’s ok to not be ok, but I hope you feel better soon.💗💗💗
Hey I just want to let u know that sis we don’t care abt you posting frequently we care abt you that’s the whole reason why we watch u. We love u and If u need a break TAKE IT! Please I want u to be okay! Therapy is great! Please do it!!!!!!!
Hi Josie! I listened to this and saw so much of myself in you! I also struggle with low self esteem, depression, and anxiety. Please take care of yourself and remember you are worth it!
josie, i am so proud of you! you never deserve to be alone and if you need to talk to someone then talk to whoever is closest. i am sure they will help you!!! you are never alone and will always have someone! i am happy you are taking the break! hope you start to feel well and help yourself! ❤️❤️ feel better soon! ilysm❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video really changed my perspective on forcing myself to be “fine” in college versus going home to give myself the time and space to fully recover and be ok and well and happy in an environment I feel comfortable in & where I feel like I belong. Thank you for your honesty. Influencers like yourself being honest about mental health is so important to show the world that nobody’s life is perfect. Thank you thank you thank you. I wish you all the best ❤️
thank you for sharing your story. i have never seen someone be so honest and open on the internet about their mental health struggles and you inspire me to know that i’m not alone. thank you so so much josie ❤️
girl you’re not a burden you are strong. we aren’t just your subs we’re your friends and we are so incredibly proud of you!! i love you girl and thank you for sharing your story. it doesn’t just help me but everyone around you. i love you, josie 💗💗💗
Thank you so much for being so real! Your videos are something that gives your followers relatability. You are being open about your struggles and it allows your viewers to relate, and feel better. Your vlogs are always so wholesome. So many content creators vlog their “perfect” lives and that isn’t really their lives, and the viewers get insecure abt their own lives. So I commend you for being so brave and sharing this story with us. I really appreciate it, as do most of the people who saw it! I can’t wait to see what amazing things you achieve in the future, and I wish you the best of luck in finding what makes you happy and in achieving your goals😊🙏🏻❤️
this absolutely breaks my heart. i want nothing but the best for you Josie. we are all here supporting and rooting for you. you can get through this. you are stronger than your biggest weaknesses. so proud of you
This hurt my heart so much, you are beautiful and so deserving. We love you so much and totally understand any breaks for as long as you need. Your health always comes first. ❤️
there was a whole week where i’d come back from school and sit here and watch all of your videos and i couldn’t get enough of them, i loved them! you always seemed so happy and full of joy and to know that you felt a whole different way behind the camera absolutely breaks my heart. you inspire me, your outfits, your life style, everything! i love you josie and you will get through this.
You are beautiful and you dont deserve to talk bad about yourself because what you said like you havent been happy you met Mya Benway so you have been happy. YOU ARE AMAZING❤️
i really feel this because i go to an extremely competitive high school and i got a b in on of my classes and i have never felt so sad in life. i felt like such a disappointment especially with the pressure of sisters success. i did not hurt my self but i felt so sad and i had so many self harm thoughts. i feel like this video really helped me out to feel like someone else wasting through it with me. thank you josie for opening your self up and sharing this with us
I’ve been struggling with the exact same thing recently. I’ve been very suicidal and felt no purpose in life and was in inpatient for 10 days. It’s such a hard experience and it really sucks but you are such an important, kind and loving person. You are so incredibly strong for sharing your story. I commend you and I’m so incredibly proud of you.
Thanks for sharing this Josie youre so brave. Your just such an inspiring person and everyone appreciates you being so raw and vulnerable. Continue being vulnerable cuz thats what makes you strong and human. So proud of you! Youre so much more stronger than whats ahead of you, never forget that! We love you! 💞
I love Josie because she is really realistic she shows us that she goes through a hard time, and it proves that all of us go through a hard time. I love you videos so much thank you for making videos :)
i look up to and love you so much because you truly have saved my life without even knowing it, and i’m here one year later and i am SO proud of you and how much you have grown. and i’m so happy that you have spent time and gotten yourself to a place where you can be happy. ILYSM JOSIE!!
This hurt my heart to watch and almost made me cry 💔. I’m so sorry that you had to go through this and I’m super super glad that you’re okay!! I’ve never experienced depression and severe anxiety but I have a couple of friends who do. Recently, one of my friends overdosed and moved out of my dorm (I go to a boarding high school). I haven’t been able to get in contact with her much which sucks because I have so many questions and I just want to talk with her. I miss her. I know that not everyone that gets diagnosed with mental health disorders experience feelings the exact same ways but this video definitely gave me a look on how she might have felt at the time. Thank you for sacrificing your vulnerability to a place that can be so detrimental as social media can be in hopes of helping others. You speaking up has taken me some steps farther from worrying and has lifted a weight off of my chest ❤️❤️❤️
Sent this to some of my friends who i know have been thru this and they said it made them feel so much better! Your a true blessing josie jabs. I love you with my whole heart. Keep pushing
Thank you for sharing your story. You really helped my daughter who is going through a rough time. Thank you for being real and being vulnerable. You are blessed to have such a loving family! Blessings for a full recovery!
It absolutely broke my heart hearing this. You deserve so much more than this and I am hoping that you can gain your happiness and confidence back soon🤍
I think it’s important for you to know that so many of us have gone through the same type of situations, and we’re all in this together! I went to the hospital for anxiety reasons and I stopped eating and it was really bad and the hospital can be really scary but youre not alone in having that experience! Thank you so much for shedding light on something that so many people experience as well and for doing what you need to do for your health, sometimes we gotta just focus on our mental health before anything else and it’s totally okay
you will get through this, I’ve had similar experiences of depression and anxiety in the past. you’ve got this josie, i know it’s hard but everything will be okay. i’m sending love to you and your family, you are so loved xxx
been here since day one, i am so unbelievably proud! xx you will forever have my support, I'm so proud that you shared this.... thank you for everything
I am beyond grateful for you. Watching this may have made me cry, but it was mostly because I am so happy that you are for once putting yourself first by taking this time to heal and find who you are. There will still be bad days but you will soon see that there’s a million reasons to love yourself and your life. Always know you have me and all these amazing people cheering you on. I love you Josie. You got this.
Josie you’re not a burden. You’re such a blessing and such an important person. I’ve been watching you for a couple years and you’ve always been a RUclipsr I look forward to watching and your videos always make me so happy. You are so worth it ❤️
it takes a lot to say this and express your feelings like this. i give u the most credit and respect and i wish u the best. i hope you’re put into the best mindset and happiness. you deserve it! focus on yourself and take your time❤️
i hate that you were in such a terrible place and felt like that was your only way out, but i’m definitely glad that you’re going back to therapy and are starting to look at the bright side of things again. you’re not alone. i love you so much
wow, this just shows how brave you are. i adore everything about you and i am so beyond sorry you have felt so low. you are so amazing and we all love you so very much.
I relate to what you are saying so much. please please please know that you are not alone. I take medication too and have been at the point where you are. The pressure to be perfect and to be on top of everything can be overwhelming but please know that you are supported by so many of your friends and followers and that you are loved. stay strong and we are here for you 💕
i really hope you get better, because i love watching you everyday and i look up to you because i feel like you are such a big inspiration. I love you and we all love you so much! we need you in our lives❤️
Josie, this summer I cane across your account. You inspired me so so much. I binged liked all your videos in a day. I was so sad and not feeling enough. I always thought how can she be sad she is beautiful and she looks so positive. You inspired me to become a better version of myself so thank you
Something my dad said when I was having a hard time in high school was that most suicidal people dont want to actually die, they want to finally start living. And I'll probably be 90 years old with his words still stuck in my head. Taking time for yourself is so important.
Konnie Wiggins I’m keeping this quote because I have been very suicidal lately.😣💗💗💗💞🔆ty
@@lvmariah7418 of course! I hope your days get brighter sweetheart!
Konnie Wiggins that is the best quote I have ever heard will always remember that! Thank you 🙏

I love you so much josie ❤️ I’ll always be here for you the world needs josie jabs 😘

Hannah Meloche so sweet you inspired me to be a better person and work harder to be nicer to people ❤️❤️

amanda lopez this is sooo true! ppl think it’s weird that i’ve been on over 20 meds over the years but it’s nothing to be ashamed of 💕
Wow. “I don’t remember what it feels like to be happy.”This shows how much school can tear us up. We love ya🤍
This hurt me to watch you like this. I’m sorry... Don’t ever feel like a burden or a failure because you feel like this. Who cares what anyone else thinks. But I know I speak for a lot of us that we are here backing you up every step of the way. I am praying for you.

this makes me feel so much less alone. i’ve dealt with depression for so long & i’ve thought about being gone so much. it was so good to hear this, and makes me feel less alone. thank u for this. i love u so much.

I cried so hard watching this my first semester of college was fall ‘19 and it was so hard for me too. I always felt alone and no one was there for me. I spent so much time crying and hating it there so the online switch for this pandemic helped me because now I’m home with my family again. I love you and your channel and respect you so much more to know I went through the same struggles as you. 😭
I totally felt this... I felt this freshman year of college was just awful and I felt so sad but I finally figured out life is so worth it but I am so proud of you and I hope you get better fast love you ❤️🥺
I was having the worst anxiety of my life start of nov, and medication was never an option bc I was scared of the side effects. But for anyone who is skeptical, give it a try. It has changed me for the better, everyday I feel myself relieving from these anxious thoughts and physical feelings. ❤️ Hope everyone finds the help they need.
so true ❤
im bawling my eyes right now, i just lost my bestfriend to a suicide 2 days ago🥺🤧
Oh my gosh I am so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers your way❤️
i know you posted this 5 months ago but, i lost my preschool best friend to brain cancer and i know the pain and i am here to tell you that it doesn’t get easier because it’s impossible not to miss them but but you will get stronger from it and they will stay alive in your heart
It breaks my heart every time you invalidate yourself! You are so strong and amazing and the fact that you want to share your story to help people is spreading so much more positivity than trying to pretend you’re happy for a video. Know that you are so loved, stay strong. It’s ok to not be ok, but I hope you feel better soon.💗💗💗
Hey I just want to let u know that sis we don’t care abt you posting frequently we care abt you that’s the whole reason why we watch u. We love u and If u need a break TAKE IT! Please I want u to be okay! Therapy is great! Please do it!!!!!!!
Hi Josie! I listened to this and saw so much of myself in you! I also struggle with low self esteem, depression, and anxiety.
Please take care of yourself and remember you are worth it!
aw Josie!!! College can be something else I totally feel you💛💛
i’m so glad u pulled through. i’ve looked up to u for a while and i’m so glad ur still here. it gets better! stay strong! happy 19th birthday 💜🦋

I just wanted you to know that I have always related to you and love how honest and real you are thank you for continuing RUclips I love you 🥺🥺❤️❤️
This video really changed my perspective on forcing myself to be “fine” in college versus going home to give myself the time and space to fully recover and be ok and well and happy in an environment I feel comfortable in & where I feel like I belong. Thank you for your honesty. Influencers like yourself being honest about mental health is so important to show the world that nobody’s life is perfect. Thank you thank you thank you. I wish you all the best ❤️
thank you for sharing your story. i have never seen someone be so honest and open on the internet about their mental health struggles and you inspire me to know that i’m not alone. thank you so so much josie ❤️
get well soon I’m glad u made the right decision for u💓stay strong u can get thru anything🥰💓
girl you’re not a burden you are strong. we aren’t just your subs we’re your friends and we are so incredibly proud of you!! i love you girl and thank you for sharing your story. it doesn’t just help me but everyone around you. i love you, josie 💗💗💗
This is so real and raw, we’ve All had moments like this.I hope everything gets better❤️
Thank you so much for being so real! Your videos are something that gives your followers relatability. You are being open about your struggles and it allows your viewers to relate, and feel better. Your vlogs are always so wholesome. So many content creators vlog their “perfect” lives and that isn’t really their lives, and the viewers get insecure abt their own lives. So I commend you for being so brave and sharing this story with us. I really appreciate it, as do most of the people who saw it! I can’t wait to see what amazing things you achieve in the future, and I wish you the best of luck in finding what makes you happy and in achieving your goals😊🙏🏻❤️
tears ran down my face watching this bc i actually feel this. stay strong. ily
this absolutely breaks my heart. i want nothing but the best for you Josie. we are all here supporting and rooting for you. you can get through this. you are stronger than your biggest weaknesses. so proud of you
dont worry everyone is here for you and it’s normal to feel that way and don’t be worried at all everyone loves you and are here for you 💕💕
This hurt my heart so much, you are beautiful and so deserving. We love you so much and totally understand any breaks for as long as you need. Your health always comes first. ❤️
Josie i really really needed this right now. I've been so lost, just thank you🥺❤
there was a whole week where i’d come back from school and sit here and watch all of your videos and i couldn’t get enough of them, i loved them! you always seemed so happy and full of joy and to know that you felt a whole different way behind the camera absolutely breaks my heart. you inspire me, your outfits, your life style, everything! i love you josie and you will get through this.
You are beautiful and you dont deserve to talk bad about yourself because what you said like you havent been happy you met Mya Benway so you have been happy. YOU ARE AMAZING❤️
i really feel this because i go to an extremely competitive high school and i got a b in on of my classes and i have never felt so sad in life. i felt like such a disappointment especially with the pressure of sisters success. i did not hurt my self but i felt so sad and i had so many self harm thoughts. i feel like this video really helped me out to feel like someone else wasting through it with me. thank you josie for opening your self up and sharing this with us
Depression is a horrible feeling, I empathize so much with your story and are glad your on a path back to happiness. You are loved! 💚❤️
taking time for yourself is so important. if you feel overwhelmed take a break. nobody should go through this i’m so sorry.
I’ve been struggling with the exact same thing recently. I’ve been very suicidal and felt no purpose in life and was in inpatient for 10 days. It’s such a hard experience and it really sucks but you are such an important, kind and loving person. You are so incredibly strong for sharing your story. I commend you and I’m so incredibly proud of you.
this was hard to watch. you will never be a burden or a failure. you are so beautiful and so worth it. 💛🥺
Thanks for sharing this Josie youre so brave. Your just such an inspiring person and everyone appreciates you being so raw and vulnerable. Continue being vulnerable cuz thats what makes you strong and human. So proud of you! Youre so much more stronger than whats ahead of you, never forget that! We love you! 💞
I'm feeling way less lonely after this video... thank you for sharing❤️
i’m so so sorry for you!! You will get thru this! much love from Germany 🥺❤️❤️
I love Josie because she is really realistic she shows us that she goes through a hard time, and it proves that all of us go through a hard time. I love you videos so much thank you for making videos :)
Stay strong we all love you❤️ things will get better you have a bright future ahead of you!
i look up to and love you so much because you truly have saved my life without even knowing it, and i’m here one year later and i am SO proud of you and how much you have grown. and i’m so happy that you have spent time and gotten yourself to a place where you can be happy. ILYSM JOSIE!!
This hurt my heart to watch and almost made me cry 💔. I’m so sorry that you had to go through this and I’m super super glad that you’re okay!! I’ve never experienced depression and severe anxiety but I have a couple of friends who do. Recently, one of my friends overdosed and moved out of my dorm (I go to a boarding high school). I haven’t been able to get in contact with her much which sucks because I have so many questions and I just want to talk with her. I miss her. I know that not everyone that gets diagnosed with mental health disorders experience feelings the exact same ways but this video definitely gave me a look on how she might have felt at the time. Thank you for sacrificing your vulnerability to a place that can be so detrimental as social media can be in hopes of helping others. You speaking up has taken me some steps farther from worrying and has lifted a weight off of my chest ❤️❤️❤️
Sent this to some of my friends who i know have been thru this and they said it made them feel so much better! Your a true blessing josie jabs. I love you with my whole heart. Keep pushing
You are so so loved you have no idea ❤️❤️ You will get through this I promise ! Good things are coming ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. You really helped my daughter who is going through a rough time. Thank you for being real and being vulnerable. You are blessed to have such a loving family! Blessings for a full recovery!
it’s ok ♥️🤍 we’ll always be here 💜
i’m so glad you’re ok because that’s the most important thing. we love you always❤️
It absolutely broke my heart hearing this. You deserve so much more than this and I am hoping that you can gain your happiness and confidence back soon🤍
I think it’s important for you to know that so many of us have gone through the same type of situations, and we’re all in this together! I went to the hospital for anxiety reasons and I stopped eating and it was really bad and the hospital can be really scary but youre not alone in having that experience! Thank you so much for shedding light on something that so many people experience as well and for doing what you need to do for your health, sometimes we gotta just focus on our mental health before anything else and it’s totally okay
you will get through this, I’ve had similar experiences of depression and anxiety in the past. you’ve got this josie, i know it’s hard but everything will be okay. i’m sending love to you and your family, you are so loved xxx
