    the thing about trauma is -- especially childhood trauma -- is that you don't even realize how traumatic the things that have happened to you are, until it hits you so hard and so fast. but everyone can get through it, and having people to help aid you in your journey is something everyone deserves.

      It's been hitting me full force, especially this semester because I've started to go to therapy. Its so hard to feel present and real. Im constantly on edge and can get forced into flashbacks basically at any moment. Its super difficult to go through but the most healing thing is having someone near you that understands, even if its not all the way. I hate that they can understand, but its incredibly validating

    • @rcd2000
      @rcd2000 3 года назад +3

      I definitely understand that and am working on it ❤️
      The scary part of realizing you had trauma as a child is you worry that you're remembering wrong, or people will be hurt. My trauma is deep, I know it. But then I didn't realize it and it comes so suddenly and differently now that it feels false and angry and sad.
      But I'll move forward, and find cope and hope and love

      @uriel578 3 года назад +1

      I agree. Also I feel like I don't really grasp the magnitude of my trauma until I'm trying to make a relatable comment or joke about things I think most people go through, when those present turn pale or red and many if not all leave the room or go very quiet. I mean what can I do? Bottling everything inside is unhealthy. But if people can't see the vulnerable human side, I'll be unrelatable or seeming to keep people out. Some say comedy is tragedy plus time, but maybe I'm not saying things in a funny enough way for them to be palatable? I don't know, it's just trauma and most people go through some trauma at different parts of their lives. It's not a competition and bonding over shared or similar trauma can feel quite fulfilling. Have any of you had some luck with some of this? What is your approach?

And to hear you just talk about your therapy experience (even in this small "dose") makes it feel like this isn't an experience I should be ashamed of but something that I should realize might be helpful. So I just want to thank you, not in an idealistic type way but in a way that helps me realize that maybe I need to work on my boundaries (which I truthfully don't really have) and maybe I should work on myself because its something that I should be able to do without feeling so ashamed, so yeh thanks.

      Hey there! Your comment catched my eye because we've got similar names :D
      Society has always made a strong division between mental health and physical health, but we as individuals shouldn't really. Same way if you have a persistent cough you'll go see your doctor, if you're feeling constantly anxious you should do so as well.
      I've always kind of been an anxious person (I am ADHD after all), but four years ago I had a spike of anxiety, and I could feel it since I woke up until I went to bed. It would paralise me, it wouldn't let me do almost anything, it was this horrible weight on my chest, painful thoughts drowning me & my nervous system about to explode, all - the - time, and it went on for almost a year. I went to my GP and I asked for help. They put me in a 1 month anxiety workshop (I was terrified at the idea of going with more people rather than having 1 to 1 sessions) and it went AMAZINGLY. They explained what anxiety really is and we did loads of exercises.
      Currently I rarely feel anxious (only in very specific moments, and I know what to do), and I've learned to work with my mind rather than against it.
      You can totally get better, and seeking help is nothing to be ashamed of (:

    the other day i was having a mental breakdown about never being successful/ never reaching my full potential because of the barrier my mental illnesses create within me. and then my friend was like “i can show you so many people that have mental illnesses and are successful, just think of dodie!!” and that really made me feel better because i relate to what you feel but i feel like i don’t handle it well and won’t ever be anything because of it but you show me it’s hard but possible :)) so thank you very much honesty is very refreshing

    May I just say as someone who also deals with identity issues and derealization, you have been a beacon of hope for me in terms of representation of our mental illnesses in the media, you're a breath of fresh air and you have shown me that it's ok to not feel real

    baby dodie is actually the cutest ever i cant get over her. also i really related when dodie was talking about holding youself to a higher standard then every other woman. it doesnt make sense. i love women and i think they are so beautiful and their physical appearance doesnt matter at all as long as they are beautiful inside. but i am so insecure about my own appearance. it doesnt make sense, but it makes me feel better that someone else feels the same. love u

    talking about how you “take care” of your younger self made me tear up. I feel guilty when I watch home videos and see my younger self because I know I’m not very nice to her sometimes. thanks for the reminder that she’s still there, she still needs me, and I should still work on taking care of her ❤️

  • @justine109
    @justine109 3 года назад

    not that you owe it to anyone, but it genuinely helps so much to see someone else taking about the loneliness they feel in trying to work through trauma, i feel like i’m the only one out of my friends that has to do this and working on your mental health is so draining and isolating and you know it’s for a good reason but it all feels very lonely and seeing someone else just say that and not try to hide their sadness makes me also feel really validated and normal. i feel like i’m constantly trying to hide how difficult day to day life is for me because being happy seems like it comes so easily to everyone else

    I love that you’ve found your inner child and you talk to her. I refer to myself in the 3rd person a lot because, as women, I find that we’re more likely to stand up for someone else than ourselves. So, it helps me to do that. (i’m also probably crazy and she get that checked out, but i do it and it’s working so i’m rolling with it)

  • @paintingwithletters

    Two things about feeling like a villain. The first: you’re 25! Nobody is perfect at any age, but even more so when we are young we are still learning and growing and the fact you feel that way shows you likely have evolved from your past experiences and wouldn’t make the same choices again. It’s ok. You’re not a villain, you’re just human. My friend told me something which has really stayed with me, and that’s that just because people hurt us doesn’t mean we have been wronged. It goes the other way too - sometimes we hurt people but it doesn’t mean we’ve wronged them, we were simply not in a good place in our own lives or prepared to deal with a complex situation which involved the various needs of others. It’s life. The second thing is that likely you are harder on yourself than others. When I was 25 I had similar feelings and reached out to a girl to apologise to her. And I found out that actually she didn’t blame me at all for what had happened; that she was also going through a difficult period of her life and what happened had almost nothing to do with me (at least she felt that way respectively). We can’t change our past, we can just move forwards with more grace and wisdom 💖💕

    I'm proud of you for growing so much and communicating so well. I understand how difficult it is to grow up without boundaries and to think that your trauma isn't that bad, but I'm glad you're learning to recognize that you deserve the love you give everybody else. I personally think of you as a musician more than anything else.

    everytime you make videos like this it makes me cry because i've been watching you and listening to your music for so long it feels like you're connected with parts of me that i've lost, parts of me that i'm still mourning over. theres a connection with you that's odd and different but theres healing within each of your videos and songs. i appreciate everything you do. plus your voice is so soothing, like a hug.

    my favorite thing about dodie videos is all the comments of people resonating and pouring their hearts out to anyone who will listen. I remember when my only person to turn to was the comforting hug from the void that is a youtube comment section and im so happy that dodie has been that hug for 11 year old me as well as 17 year old me and every step of the way in between. this comment will be buried like all of the others but if you see this know that we love you, that i love you and that you are worthy of every good thing that you have and will recieve. life is still worth it even when the skies are grey

    thank you for this little update. i honestly love hearing people talk about how their lives and their mental health isn’t perfect, but not have them going into a lot of detail about it. i think sometimes it’s easy for me to watch mental health videos and purposefully trigger myself to make my struggles validated. but this way in which you touched upon it without pouring out everything inside of you was just very appreciated by me. so, thank you.
