I’ve been going through it too, I have the best intentions every day but the motivation just isn’t there. I gotta get it together. But I feel you! Def talk to your therapist and if possible a psychiatrist. That helps me a lot. We are here for you!!!
I love how open and transparent you are about stuff like this! It’s what makes you so relatable and just another reason why I love your content 💛 I hope you’re doing well
Just heard the podcast for this video & I think you should do a series of “things that got me through this week” and you talk about that whether it be journaling, places you like to go, friends and give people ideas on how they can get through their week who feel like you do. Can’t wait to see you through this 💕
As someone who has dealt with depression/anxiety for a decade, I really appreciate you discussing these topics. I wish you all the best with your journey of healing 🤍
Thanks for being so open and honest. For me, depression was waking up every day thinking I had to do something or buy something or spend time with someone to be happy or find joy in things. It took over a year and a half of therapy, and making some life changes, for me to find that happiness and joy with myself.
girl i feel you ive also been in a funk this past year aa lot of stuff has happened and been feeling very overwhelmed and u opening up and being raw really makes me feel better love u❤️
I loved the car chat and transparency, take a break or try some different simple content. Imagine you’re like a feather, just LIVE and try to float wherever the journey takes you. We’re here for the journey
I just got out of a year and a half depressive episode a few months ago and was feeling “normal” again and super motivated and now I’m back to wanting to sleep all day every day. Mental health is a marathon, it’s a war, it’s never ending sadly but those times that I do feel happy and like myself make it all worth it tbh.
So many people come and go on my subscription list, but you are among 5 people I always watch no matter what. I just clicked with you and your vibe back in 2014/15 and nothing changed ever since. One thing I particularly love about you is how driven and passionate you are when you speak about business side and behid the scenes of your job. As a person who is studying marketing and management, I'm enjoying it so much. Through you I found out some things about myself. You do you and always listen to yourself, then you can never go wrong. Sending love and support from Croatia.
I think the past two years have put us all through a lot of crap. I've had anxiety for a while as well and now apparently have depression according to the doctor. As I am turning 28 this year I feel you girl, I've been in a slump because I feel unmotivated. Thank you for opening up, and I hope you are doing well overall.
It happens to all of us…it’s hard but no one is perfect. Hope everything goes well for you. You need to have time and space. Always love your vlogs even if you do nothing. Just love hearing how the day is or just following on what you do, like shopping and such.
Completely understand what you mean on the negativity on yourself, I’ve always struggled with those kind of thoughts and honestly as I’ve grown up (i say this as I’m literally only almost 18) ive just learned to distract myself from those thoughts- and when you first said the quote “no ceiling” ive actually lived by it
Thank you for being so honest about everything! it was really good hearing that I’m not alone with my struggles. I’ve been so hard on myself this year and it’s been difficult but knowing that there are people out there that feel the same way makes me feel better
I mean, one of the best vlogs tbh. Bit of Starbucks, depression talk and piercings lol just what I’m down for 🥰💗 love you girl. You do you, we are here for it all xx
Literally just by the title im so happy that you’re comfortably opening up to your viewers, hope everything is going good for you even if its just the smallest thing 🤍
It's hard to see you struggle to find the words to explain your feelings. The expression "I don't know" really says it all, we tend to say "I don't know" when we try to describe a certain feeling that is heavy to explain. It's also the overwhelming feeling that we feel deep down, although we know to ourselves that we have a lot to say but are disregarded to find the right way to express it :) keep slaying queen!
Just wanted to chime in and let you know that at least one of us is a "doctor" (doctor of pharmacy if you ever have any questions :P) but either way, it's so so important that you work with your doctor to find the right medications that work for you. Sending you lots of love and support while you go through this, but also celebrate yourself for talking about the things weighing you down!!
@@kardemomme3828 well that is usually what happens when someone talks about stuff like this. Depression is some big stuff and pretty serious. I guess she knows that she should talk to her doctor etc. I just think it is not good to talk about this here only and not get help.
Regarding your light fixture: You could put a hook in the ceiling next to the light, closer to the window and lead the cable of the light through there. That would put the light a bit higher and further to the window.
Girl you’re doing great ❤️ you have a lot of people that care about you. It’s hard to open up and be vulnerable and admit you’re going through something..that takes strength!!
I really felt for you on the podcast. Glad you are working on things… also you are wrong that none of us are doctors cause I am and I have anxiety and depression but am so much better now and know you can get there too xx
I love how open and honest you are, I struggle with depresssion and my mental health and you being open and honest about yours makes me realize I’m not alone and even people who “seem” like they have it together, don’t always have it together and maybe struggling too!! Love you Lida!! And I hope your feeling better ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Been struggling with this stuff myself a lot over the past year and a half, watching your videos make me smile and put some sunshine into my day ❤️ You have been my idol since early 2015 and I look up to you so much ❤️ I know how you're feeling right now and it's rough but I know you'll be able to pull through, ya got this!!!
Its okay to feel sad sometimes. You are so strong to be able to talk to us about this. That alone is a giant step to getting the help you need if you need it. No matter what your going through it will get better and its okay. We love you. That's why we are here. Some times it is good to get a professional opinion. You do what you gotta do dont worry about us. Love you.
LOVE YOU ALISHA!!!! you constantly are working to put a smile on other peoples faces, and sometimes you need to work on putting a smile on your own. ❤️ do whatever makes you happy and whatever you can
this is why we love you you're always so open with us about topics like this❤it's okay if you don't post as much your mental health is more important ily🖤
I feel you girl.. I’m hard on myself too.. take time for yourself as much as possible 💯 that’s the only thing that ever helps me. Sending love your way
This vlog is one of the best ones lately !!! Editing, you, content, everything is sooo interesting and good !! Old Alisha but 10x better !!! Love you !!
I relate so much to this. I think part of it is about to be 30 and then all the life things lately. Anyways lady I hope everything gets better and sending good vibes your way.
This is very similar to my mental health journey - Anxiety most of my life, really took it seriously in my mid-20’s, and then found that when the anxiety became lower, depression took its place. After working with my therapist, we took an ADHD test, and I was in the 99th percentile. We started medication and I feel like a NEW WOMAN. Obvi everyone’s journey and mental health is unique, but just a thought to bring up with your therapist and doctor. Much love ❤️ Your viewers are always here for you!!
I was just talking about this myself. This is the most depressed I've felt in awhile. It's a scary level of depression top. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
omg alisha!! i loved this video, thank you for being so open about how you’re struggling. also the editing and content was amazing. i felt extremely close to you.
I personally don’t deal with depression, but I do have anxiety, and I always feel better when you talk about your mental health. Thank you for everything! ❤️
alisha giiiirrrl... I have followed your channels on and off since 2015, I was 12 back then and am now 19, I have had periods where I've been swamped with school and haven't had time to watch but sooner or later I always somehow end up going back at your vlog channel and starting to watch it again. I care about you, I truly do, and truuuussst me when i say that I know that we all need a break once in a while. You do what feels best for you girl cause I want you to be happy and I think every single one of your followers agree
wow I totally relate to everything you said alisha - you mentioned once that you were taking sertraline, and when I was on too high a dose for it a few months ago, I experienced strong emotional blunting. it made me feel completely apathetic and I had to get off them completely. I’ve also been dealing w anxiety my whole life and since the holidays have been dealing w depression too. what helps: seeking out the help you need, and advocating for yourself to your doctors about how you feel; mental illness is subjective, and there’s no one clear fix for anything. you are not alone ! 💛
Love how you’ve been so open about your mental health. It helps so much. I’ve been dealing with it my self recently, I’ve started seeing a therapist and taking Zolft. I’ve never been on antidepressants, it’s nice knowing others are in the same. Keep going Alisha!! We got this 💪🏻💗
I feel this video so much. I was diagnosed with the bipolar affective disorder a few months back and realised so much about myself. I understand the unmotivation, the pain of feeling lost and powerless and it makes me feel two things: 1, Sad that one of my favourite youtube struggle with depression in a similar way that I do. 2, it makes me so happy to relate to you on such a deep level. You inspire me so much and brighten my day with all your content on all platforms. Sending so much love and KRAG ( it is an Afrikaans term for power) ILY
Hi Alisha! I love that you always open up about your struggles even though it’s such a difficult process to go through. I want to speak solely from personal experience, but I have struggled with Anxiety since like 5th grade. I started anxiety meds about a year ago while it’s been helpful in the anxiety aspect, I have noticed that I have been feeling more lethargic and almost “dull” since being on it which I found contributed to feelings of depression for me. Maybe it’s a similar experience for you.. My other thought is that since those of us who struggle with anxiety, we tend to feel our emotions very intensely so when we start taking meds and come down to a “normal” level it feels very weird to us. Like I said all of this is my personal experience & perspective.
I feel you in this vlog so much, like I definitely have been struggling especially cause I’m still trying to find a job and knowing it’s June is definitely stressing me out and I’m being hard on myself, but I do want to say it’s ok to feel the way you are feeling like take your time to figure everything out and you never have to feel pressure to upload if you don’t feel like it❤️❤️
I am in the same situation. I lost my job a few months ago and it's been hard to find one ever since. And this past month, I've been so depressed. I dont want to give up on things but it's just been so hard and it's mentally/emotionally draining me 😞 Anyway, I pray that everything gets better for you 🙏🏻💗
Alisha! I’m back to tell you that you convinced me to buy the cup you showed in the beginning…. I LOVE IT!!!!! It’s the best thing ever , I Love it with my iced matcha
Alisha - omg I feel and understand you and the depression so much. I’ve been going through it the past few years and it’s the most confusing thing ever. You don’t know what’s causing it and it could be a million different things on your plate and it’s so overwhelming and confusing and you feel so unsure of yourself and everything else. Everything goes out of place. It’s the weirdest shittiest thing ever. So confusing and unknown. Everything you once known seems to just go away
Hi Alisha, I relate to struggling with depression and anxiety. That’s been my life for the past 20plus years. I have had such personal growth the past couple years. I think being genuine and real is key both with yourself and your healthcare professionals. Do NOT feel bad for asking for help! And NEVER give up on yourself!!!! Give yourself grace and make small changes that will be bigger in the long run! And if you have set backs it’s okay! Please keep going and I believe in you!
Sincerely, thank you so much for sharing through this vlog. My depression recently came back after four years, and this is exactly how I've been feeling, and as you stated, it brings a lot of comfort to know one isn't alone in this battle, and it too shall pass. Much love ♥
Seeing a very popular RUclipsr being so in touch with their mental health and talking about it on their platform like this makes it feel so real. And not like they’re just doing it for attention to try and be relatable for their audience. Thats why Alisha is one of my favorite RUclipsrs. (Also the guy at the shop when they were getting the piercings was the best. I’ve had some great tattoo artists and piercers, but they don’t compare.)
Yay your videos make me so happy 😊 ik your going through a rough patch but we all love you and we know you need to do whats best for your mental and physical health. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
So from watching the pretty basic episode I really do Relate so much when you say you assume there’s other voices out there telling you that you should be grateful and that you have no right to feel the way you feel and that’s something I struggle with a lot too and I have just been trying to learn how to validate my own feelings because I don’t let myself so I push them down because I say they’re not as important as other things happening around me It really comforts me to know that there’s someone else going through the same thing and then I make to watch you and have you to learn and understand from Love ya girly! Validate your emotions
I can relate to this a lot. I think I had like 4 mental breakdowns today...I'm feeling burnt out. I couldn't stop crying this morning so I feel you. But not sure exactly what's causing it...probably just everything. I'm sending you all the good vibes!! You are not alone!
You got this biiiiiiiiiiish!!! Also, I relate so hard with this with my videography/photography projects. 2022 been HIGHKEY rough for many of us! I’ve been saying this year isn’t about anything else but growth & self love! Love this vid! Love ANYTHING you post! Post when YOU want to post! We’ll be here girl! Ily byeeeee
I have been following for going on 7 years. We are birthday twins and I love your content. Hell yeah tell your truth🖤 You are killing it! Currently watching from Germany, but born and raised in the states.
I relate so much! I’ve struggled with bad anxiety, specifically health anxiety, for over 5 years now. But in the last few years depression decided to join the mix and I had no idea how to handle it because it was a new feeling, and layered ON TOP of the anxiety too. Sending u all the love and support!!❤️
Sending you love and support!! I’m so behind w/ YT and randomly decided to read comments. I have dealt with the same thing and still to some degree am. We are warriors!!! Wishing you the best 🥰
Alisha is honest to god my favorite RUclipsr. Like we know this is her job and a very tough and sometimes draining job. But she does it so well and involves the fans so much it doesn’t feel like we’re witnessing her at work but more as a part of a little slice of her life. I love it!!! 😂 she has no idea each individual one of us exists but she makes us feel seen and a part of it all. ❤️🥰 we love you Alisha!!!
Girl I appreciate you so much for opening up about how you've been feeling. I've had the hardest year of MY LIFE and watching you and your videos has literally kept me going and made me smile even when I felt like dying. Whether you barely upload or ur on ur game, I still love you and appreciate you more than you know! Even though I am not in ur shoes and I can't say I relate to what ur personally going through, just know that I have struggled so much and journaling, therapy, and doing things that make ME happy have been the best things for me. Know that you are an amazing queen and you don't owe the world shit. I love you!
Your videos means a lot to me. You really help me so much. A lot of people think that youtubers live the perfect life, and it really helps a lot of people when you’re honest about how you feel 💛 Sending love
I definitely have been feeling the same way for a long long time now but it’s always “i don’t know” and there’s no words to ever describe and all I can say is “I don’t know” and tend to cringe when trying to talk about what I’m trying to express;(
It's ok honey you can take all the time you want and don't ever feel like you're being pressured.. It's ok to take a break even if it was a rlly long one.. Just know, that we are your ppl and we will support you and wait for you then welcome you with love💜💜
This video is so refreshing, thank-you you for posting and being honest. I'm seeing this new wave of RUclipsrs who I never thought I'd watch, people like Isabell Paige, Doobydobap... what I find with them is that they all seeem to have this one thing in common... they're just being themselves. They don't particularly have exciting lives, they just do 'them' on a daily... This video really reminds me of this 'new style' of RUclips - WHATEVER THAT IS!! I hope you get the meds sorted so you feel better sooner rather than later:)
Hi Alisha! I've struggled with anxiety my whole life and every now and then have depression. I've been watching your channel for YEARS and it genuinely makes me smile :) I hope you see this ❤
I love how you are opening up to us. Mental health is very important. Sometime's people are scared to talk about these things, which I totally understand. You are very brave and beautiful. and finding help is okay. xoxox.
when you spoke about this on pretty basic It felt so refreshing to have someone with the platform that you have open up about depression. Personally I was having the worst week mentally and seeing how there's a whole community of other people that go through the same thing brings so much comfort , thank you
As someone that has dealt with aniexty and depression for 31yrs so since i was 15 i really appeciate you talking about it on your channel and all the best with your journey of healing xxxxxxx
i’ve been watching you literally since i was in 8th grade and i’m now halfway through college. you’ve grown so much & im so proud of you for opening up with us more. i feel like on social media everyone pretends that their life is perfect when in reality everyone has their struggles. thank you for always being real with us
Omg I literally come to your videos to get motivation to continue running my business but turns out you are feeling the same way 😔 i feel you i keep saying that to my friends that idk i'm just depressed and unmotivated but i love what i do its just i feel off 😭 talked to my therapist but nothing helps 🥺 hope you feel better soon and share tips ❤️ love you and watched you since i was 16 years old it's weird that i feel that you are my older sister now 😂 I'm 22 now btw
love you so much alisha. i have been dealing with anxiety and depression recently and I never have before. It’s a scary thing. But the good thing is that so many people are going through it together that we can all be there for each other. Also sidenote the guy who’s piercing your ear is hilarious 🤣.
Lida, thanks for doing this, I’ve been struggling w depression lately too, and knowing it’s a human thing it’s really helpful, truly, thanks. Also, I’d say you can explore other peoples channels on different sides of RUclips and check what do you like and would like to try, it’s ok for you to do a 180º spin:) ly
Alisha… you’re eyebrows look so good 😭😭 also I read this book and there was a quote that said if you only shine light on your flaws then all you perfects will dim and i think that’s something we need to remember. Just focus on the positives in life
ugh I’m so sorry girl❤️you’re so strong. it makes me sad to see you sad :( you can do it! everybody has their bad days on another note I loved that piercing guy omfg he seemed hilarious
You are not alone in your journey! I suffer from anxiety and depression too and I hope you share more so we all don’t feel so alone in the world! Your fearless
I have watched you for years now and one of my favorite things about this channel is your openness about your mental health, I love growing up with you!!!!
i’ve been feeling similar to you. i feel like i haven’t gotten anything done and i haven’t accomplished anything this year even though i’m still a teenager. i just recently got back into watching you and i just want to say i love your videos and just want you to like what you post and post when you want. we’re all here for you and just want you to be happy❤️
Honestly I love the piercers energy so much. Like making your client laugh and feel comfortable is so important and he is clearly very good at it. Go him!
I feel you girl.. I have time’s when I deserve a breakdown from anxiety or depression.. It’s fine to breakdown because it’s what makes us stronger.. believe in yourself, because we believe in you!!!! Oh my goodness when I saw Meem’s I heart bursted! Glad to see her in your vlog
Girl I’ve literally been feeling the same way but I don’t have to deal with it publicly so never apologize for your feelings. I feeeel you and hope that things turn around for you soon. Sending you all the love ♥️♥️♥️
Definitely talk to your therapist about how you've been feeling. Depression can creep up on you without you realizing it.
youre 100% right.. i've found, atleast for myself, if i have to ask myself if im depressed, i most likely am.
I’m sure she did.
Very true
I’ve been going through it too, I have the best intentions every day but the motivation just isn’t there. I gotta get it together. But I feel you! Def talk to your therapist and if possible a psychiatrist. That helps me a lot. We are here for you!!!
Seeing Mia and you hanging out was so surreal but I love that she’s back in the loop
I love how open and transparent you are about stuff like this! It’s what makes you so relatable and just another reason why I love your content 💛 I hope you’re doing well
Just heard the podcast for this video & I think you should do a series of “things that got me through this week” and you talk about that whether it be journaling, places you like to go, friends and give people ideas on how they can get through their week who feel like you do.

I feel you so much girl!! I’m in your situation and I know we gonna make it❤️ love you love your content and honesty! You are the besttt ☺️

1:28 I love the new edits. The whole little sped up clip with the voice continuing from the last clip and going into the next
Girl I feel the exact same! I have zero motivation to do anything and I don’t know what’s going on. Keep pushing xx
Literally just by the title im so happy that you’re comfortably opening up to your viewers, hope everything is going good for you even if its just the smallest thing 🤍

I’ve also been dealing w anxiety my whole life and since the holidays have been dealing w depression too. what helps: seeking out the help you need, and advocating for yourself to your doctors about how you feel; mental illness is subjective, and there’s no one clear fix for anything. you are not alone ! 💛
Love how you’ve been so open about your mental health. It helps so much. I’ve been dealing with it my self recently, I’ve started seeing a therapist and taking Zolft. I’ve never been on antidepressants, it’s nice knowing others are in the same. Keep going Alisha!! We got this 💪🏻💗
Your definitely not the only one have gravitated towards your channel sm after this video 💗
I feel this video so much. I was diagnosed with the bipolar affective disorder a few months back and realised so much about myself. I understand the unmotivation, the pain of feeling lost and powerless and it makes me feel two things: 1, Sad that one of my favourite youtube struggle with depression in a similar way that I do. 2, it makes me so happy to relate to you on such a deep level. You inspire me so much and brighten my day with all your content on all platforms. Sending so much love and KRAG ( it is an Afrikaans term for power) ILY
Hi Alisha! I love that you always open up about your struggles even though it’s such a difficult process to go through. I want to speak solely from personal experience, but I have struggled with Anxiety since like 5th grade. I started anxiety meds about a year ago while it’s been helpful in the anxiety aspect, I have noticed that I have been feeling more lethargic and almost “dull” since being on it which I found contributed to feelings of depression for me. Maybe it’s a similar experience for you..
My other thought is that since those of us who struggle with anxiety, we tend to feel our emotions very intensely so when we start taking meds and come down to a “normal” level it feels very weird to us. Like I said all of this is my personal experience & perspective.
I feel you in this vlog so much, like I definitely have been struggling especially cause I’m still trying to find a job and knowing it’s June is definitely stressing me out and I’m being hard on myself, but I do want to say it’s ok to feel the way you are feeling like take your time to figure everything out and you never have to feel pressure to upload if you don’t feel like it❤️❤️
I am in the same situation. I lost my job a few months ago and it's been hard to find one ever since. And this past month, I've been so depressed. I dont want to give up on things but it's just been so hard and it's mentally/emotionally draining me 😞 Anyway, I pray that everything gets better for you 🙏🏻💗
I have zero motivation as well. I’ve mainly dealt with anxiety, but starting to realize depression is in the mix.
Alisha! I’m back to tell you that you convinced me to buy the cup you showed in the beginning…. I LOVE IT!!!!! It’s the best thing ever , I Love it with my iced matcha
Alisha - omg I feel and understand you and the depression so much. I’ve been going through it the past few years and it’s the most confusing thing ever. You don’t know what’s causing it and it could be a million different things on your plate and it’s so overwhelming and confusing and you feel so unsure of yourself and everything else. Everything goes out of place. It’s the weirdest shittiest thing ever. So confusing and unknown. Everything you once known seems to just go away
I relate to this so much. I’ve been in a slump and I feel like there’s no getting out and to hear that somebody relates to me makes me feel hopeful.
Hi Alisha,
I relate to struggling with depression and anxiety. That’s been my life for the past 20plus years. I have had such personal growth the past couple years. I think being genuine and real is key both with yourself and your healthcare professionals. Do NOT feel bad for asking for help! And NEVER give up on yourself!!!! Give yourself grace and make small changes that will be bigger in the long run! And if you have set backs it’s okay! Please keep going and I believe in you!
Sincerely, thank you so much for sharing through this vlog. My depression recently came back after four years, and this is exactly how I've been feeling, and as you stated, it brings a lot of comfort to know one isn't alone in this battle, and it too shall pass. Much love ♥
Seeing a very popular RUclipsr being so in touch with their mental health and talking about it on their platform like this makes it feel so real. And not like they’re just doing it for attention to try and be relatable for their audience. Thats why Alisha is one of my favorite RUclipsrs. (Also the guy at the shop when they were getting the piercings was the best. I’ve had some great tattoo artists and piercers, but they don’t compare.)
love you alisha! you’re so strong! ❤️
It's okay not to be okay ❤️ sending you lots of love 🥰
Girl the struggle is real. You’re a star and don’t forget that. You’ve brought me so much light during some dark times. It will get better. 🌟
thinking of you girl! if you need to take a break take it! love you!💗💗
i literally love how your deep you are with us!
Yay your videos make me so happy 😊 ik your going through a rough patch but we all love you and we know you need to do whats best for your mental and physical health. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Girl I’m in the same boat. I’ve been dealing with anxiety/depression the past 1-2 months. You’re not alone girl. You got this. 🤍
Sending you lots of love and support ❤️🙏 I just love how real you are with us, it feels like we are on FaceTime.
So from watching the pretty basic episode I really do Relate so much when you say you assume there’s other voices out there telling you that you should be grateful and that you have no right to feel the way you feel and that’s something I struggle with a lot too and I have just been trying to learn how to validate my own feelings because I don’t let myself so I push them down because I say they’re not as important as other things happening around me
It really comforts me to know that there’s someone else going through the same thing and then I make to watch you and have you to learn and understand from
Love ya girly! Validate your emotions
I can relate to this a lot. I think I had like 4 mental breakdowns today...I'm feeling burnt out. I couldn't stop crying this morning so I feel you. But not sure exactly what's causing it...probably just everything. I'm sending you all the good vibes!! You are not alone!
You got this biiiiiiiiiiish!!! Also, I relate so hard with this with my videography/photography projects. 2022 been HIGHKEY rough for many of us! I’ve been saying this year isn’t about anything else but growth & self love!
Love this vid! Love ANYTHING you post! Post when YOU want to post! We’ll be here girl! Ily byeeeee
I have been following for going on 7 years. We are birthday twins and I love your content. Hell yeah tell your truth🖤 You are killing it! Currently watching from Germany, but born and raised in the states.
im so glad she’s talking about this because it’s not just her going through these things. 💓💓💓
I relate so much! I’ve struggled with bad anxiety, specifically health anxiety, for over 5 years now. But in the last few years depression decided to join the mix and I had no idea how to handle it because it was a new feeling, and layered ON TOP of the anxiety too. Sending u all the love and support!!❤️
Sending you love and support!! I’m so behind w/ YT and randomly decided to read comments. I have dealt with the same thing and still to some degree am. We are warriors!!! Wishing you the best 🥰
Alisha is honest to god my favorite RUclipsr. Like we know this is her job and a very tough and sometimes draining job. But she does it so well and involves the fans so much it doesn’t feel like we’re witnessing her at work but more as a part of a little slice of her life. I love it!!! 😂 she has no idea each individual one of us exists but she makes us feel seen and a part of it all. ❤️🥰 we love you Alisha!!!
Girl I appreciate you so much for opening up about how you've been feeling. I've had the hardest year of MY LIFE and watching you and your videos has literally kept me going and made me smile even when I felt like dying. Whether you barely upload or ur on ur game, I still love you and appreciate you more than you know! Even though I am not in ur shoes and I can't say I relate to what ur personally going through, just know that I have struggled so much and journaling, therapy, and doing things that make ME happy have been the best things for me. Know that you are an amazing queen and you don't owe the world shit. I love you!
Your videos means a lot to me. You really help me so much. A lot of people think that youtubers live the perfect life, and it really helps a lot of people when you’re honest about how you feel 💛 Sending love
Something is definitely in the air because same! Since January as well and I’ve never been this unmotivated from depression
I definitely have been feeling the same way for a long long time now but it’s always “i don’t know” and there’s no words to ever describe and all I can say is “I don’t know” and tend to cringe when trying to talk about what I’m trying to express;(
It's ok honey you can take all the time you want and don't ever feel like you're being pressured.. It's ok to take a break even if it was a rlly long one.. Just know, that we are your ppl and we will support you and wait for you then welcome you with love💜💜
This video is so refreshing, thank-you you for posting and being honest. I'm seeing this new wave of RUclipsrs who I never thought I'd watch, people like Isabell Paige, Doobydobap... what I find with them is that they all seeem to have this one thing in common... they're just being themselves. They don't particularly have exciting lives, they just do 'them' on a daily... This video really reminds me of this 'new style' of RUclips - WHATEVER THAT IS!! I hope you get the meds sorted so you feel better sooner rather than later:)
Hi Alisha! I've struggled with anxiety my whole life and every now and then have depression. I've been watching your channel for YEARS and it genuinely makes me smile :) I hope you see this ❤
I love how you are opening up to us. Mental health is very important. Sometime's people are scared to talk about these things, which I totally understand. You are very brave and beautiful. and finding help is okay. xoxox.
when you spoke about this on pretty basic It felt so refreshing to have someone with the platform that you have open up about depression. Personally I was having the worst week mentally and seeing how there's a whole community of other people that go through the same thing brings so much comfort , thank you
As someone that has dealt with aniexty and depression for 31yrs so since i was 15 i really appeciate you talking about it on your channel and all the best with your journey of healing xxxxxxx
The air sign video is this video is so real!!! I love y’all so much
i’ve been watching you literally since i was in 8th grade and i’m now halfway through college. you’ve grown so much & im so proud of you for opening up with us more. i feel like on social media everyone pretends that their life is perfect when in reality everyone has their struggles. thank you for always being real with us
Omg I literally come to your videos to get motivation to continue running my business but turns out you are feeling the same way 😔 i feel you i keep saying that to my friends that idk i'm just depressed and unmotivated but i love what i do its just i feel off 😭 talked to my therapist but nothing helps 🥺 hope you feel better soon and share tips ❤️ love you and watched you since i was 16 years old it's weird that i feel that you are my older sister now 😂 I'm 22 now btw
love you so much alisha. i have been dealing with anxiety and depression recently and I never have before. It’s a scary thing. But the good thing is that so many people are going through it together that we can all be there for each other. Also sidenote the guy who’s piercing your ear is hilarious 🤣.
Lida, thanks for doing this, I’ve been struggling w depression lately too, and knowing it’s a human thing it’s really helpful, truly, thanks.
Also, I’d say you can explore other peoples channels on different sides of RUclips and check what do you like and would like to try, it’s ok for you to do a 180º spin:) ly
LOVE YOU LIDA!!!! You do whatever you need to do because your health comes first!! I’ll be here no matter what!
Alisha… you’re eyebrows look so good 😭😭 also I read this book and there was a quote that said if you only shine light on your flaws then all you perfects will dim and i think that’s something we need to remember. Just focus on the positives in life
ugh I’m so sorry girl❤️you’re so strong. it makes me sad to see you sad :( you can do it! everybody has their bad days
on another note I loved that piercing guy omfg he seemed hilarious
You are not alone in your journey! I suffer from anxiety and depression too and I hope you share more so we all don’t feel so alone in the world! Your fearless
I have watched you for years now and one of my favorite things about this channel is your openness about your mental health, I love growing up with you!!!!
its okay queen you are going to get through this
we love youuuuu
xoxoxo
i’ve been feeling similar to you. i feel like i haven’t gotten anything done and i haven’t accomplished anything this year even though i’m still a teenager. i just recently got back into watching you and i just want to say i love your videos and just want you to like what you post and post when you want. we’re all here for you and just want you to be happy❤️
Honestly I love the piercers energy so much. Like making your client laugh and feel comfortable is so important and he is clearly very good at it. Go him!
I feel you girl.. I have time’s when I deserve a breakdown from anxiety or depression.. It’s fine to breakdown because it’s what makes us stronger.. believe in yourself, because we believe in you!!!! Oh my goodness when I saw Meem’s I heart bursted! Glad to see her in your vlog
Girl I’ve literally been feeling the same way but I don’t have to deal with it publicly so never apologize for your feelings. I feeeel you and hope that things turn around for you soon. Sending you all the love ♥️♥️♥️
