EDIT: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU all for sharing your stories. Thank you for listening to mine and offering so much love and support. I'm overwhelmed by all of it in the best possible way. I couldn't respond to everyone, but know that I have read all of your comments and I appreciate every single one of them.
This video made me cry, thank you for sharing your story with us! You aren't alone, it's always such a big comfort and support to hear from someone who has been through similar things. You should be so proud of yourself xxx
Good video! I am surprised to hear that you get a lot of comments on your weight when it is something that I have never noticed. I think you are really pretty 🌹
Take care of yourself Hailey 💜
I love your videos😍
Thank you for sharing Hailey
I suffer from anxiety and I totally get the can't turn your brain off. It's terrible at night where my brain just plays in a loop often.
Same here. Anxiety isn't fun...
same. Recently I just can't fall asleep anymore and when I do I only dream weird stuff
@@psychedbypat oh God, me too and it's awful. I hope you feel better soon
Same here with social anxiety
Mine does this too
You making this video made me feel so much less alone. I've never related to a video more. Depression runs in my family too, and I've had something so devastating happen to me recently and this gave me some comfort. I'm so thankful that you made this video so thank you.
being so open about mental health takes so much strength to even think of doing. I’m so thankful and happy that you’re are here, at 23. I love and support you always 💕
I can't express how thankful I am for booktubers like you, who open up about mental health. It breaks down the stigma about it all and it makes us viewers who suffer from things like you have etc. feel "normalized" in a sense of belonging but also seeing people who have c"ome out the other way" and that it can get better. We love you Hailey
ZuislearninG nope
hi Nour!!
@@withcindy hiii!
Sending you so much love Hailey 💕 thank you for sharing your story
Thank you so much for sharing. You’re very brave. As someone who also struggles with anxiety and depression, I really appreciate you helping to bring issues like these to light.
You’re very brave to talk about this, and this gives me courage to talk about my my medical conditions. I support you and this honestly makes me love you more. I’m praying for you 😌
Also screw the haters. Your so beautiful Hailey ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so proud of you for sharing. Much love ❤️
I've honestly never understood people leaving hateful comments. What do people gain from it? It's honestly so ridiculous to me. I just hope you can eventually look past all of those awful comments and know that you are an amazing person, beautiful inside and out, and that you're an inspiration to a lot of people!! Thank you so much for being brave enough to open up about your mental health, I know how hard than can be. I'm proud of you
What is wrong with people that they are leaving hateful comments for someone they don't even know? It's like people lose their humanity when they're behind a keyboard. Unbelievable.
Thank you for your bravery Hailey, you're not alone in struggling with mental illness and you're brave for speaking out about this and helping remove some of the stigma around mental illness! I've been following you for a while now and I'm proud of you for openly talking about mental illness!
You have earned so much of my respect Hailey. It’s so incredible of you to share your story. You’re a true warrior, keep fighting x ❤️
Thank you for sharing.
You are a beautiful human - inside and out.
I'm so proud of you for doing this. Opening up isn't always easy but I think it will help you in this process of getting through your mental health issues. Just know that you are not alone and that friends can always be found on this platform.
You're such an inspiration and you're so strong! You're absolutely amazing! Thank you for posting this video I really needed it! I love everything about you! Keep fighting! ❤
Thankyou for sharing this, and so sorry to hear that people are commenting on your weight. That is not OK! You,on the other hand, are more than OK :) wish you all the best 💖
thanks for taking a step to banish the stigma around mental health! i can really relate to this. i started taking meds for anxiety and depression this month. stay safe x
I’m really proud of you for sharing this and I hope you know that you are loved. 💜 And it makes me so sad to hear that people are giving you a hard time and hating you, because you are really a brightening person and I always enjoy your videos.
And I know a little bit of how you feel, having (I’m assuming) something similar happen to me when I was 15 and I went through all my high school years being deeply depressed and I barely even remember my 16th year because I just wanted to erase myself. Reading became my escape too. I’m 26 now and in such a great place in my life and I sometimes can’t believe it either, it’s strange to look back on what truly does feel like a different life.
Basically I’m just saying that you’re not alone and that I am really proud of you for opening up about things that I know are impossibly difficult. 💜
Thank you for sharing and for all your wonderful posts and just everything. You are amazing.
This must have been tough to film. We all love you a lot. 💗
You’re soooo brave. Keep going we love you xx
I appreciate your honesty, sending you lots of love❤️
I really needed to hear the last part, so thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your story. We're always here for you Hailey.
I'm honestly so proud of you for having this enormous courage of speaking about this. You are an incredible human being and I do believe you are a role model to a lot of young book lovers out here. I know the struggles of mental illness and I know it never goes away but I'm so glad you're fighting and finding yourself. Thank you for being honest about this and I do hope you can find light even in the darkest of places. Lots of love ❤️ keep on being amazing
I'm 17 and have terrible anxiety/ social anxiety and depression. I totally understand what you are talking about with our brains and the relapses. To help I'm on meds and going to therapy. I really look up to you and everyone else who post these kinds if videos because I feel empowered and motivated. Thank you so much for sharing.💜
Keep caring for yourself 💕
We love you Hailey! Thank you for sharing your story. Mental health is so important for everyone- I can tell from your reflection that you are so self aware and I love that books helped you find your way. Stay strong girl!
Much love!! Thank you for your honesty and courage :)
I love you Hailey. You were one of the first booktubers I started watching a year ago, and since then your personality just calms me down. I watch your vlogs literally during exams because they inspire me so much and well, they're fun. I think you're absolutely beautiful and I hope you only do better in life. I hope you see love when you look in the mirror. I am so proud of you for being able to this. You're amazing and inspire me to no end.
P. S. I never stop laughing when I am talking about uncomfortable stuff either. People forget to take me seriously most of the times😂
Hailey you are a great person and it is a subject that needs to be talked about. Thank you.
You're amazing Hailey, and thank you so much for sharing--I know that couldn't have been easy.
Keep your head up! Let's not waste any time focusing on the negative, and keep our focus on the things we can be appreciative about~
You are loved and you are valued--please never forget that, everyone!
Books have helped me in similar ways ❤️🤗
You’re an amazing lady!! Thanks for sharing.
Huge bundle of Inspiration alert!🌟
Cuz lovely Hailey is baaaaaaaaack!
With the same boldness and charm.
Love you, Hails❤
I dont understand how anyone can even find anything mean to say about you! You are sp adorable and lovely and just ugh! Love you and proud of you! Dont ever give up! 💕💕
I'm so proud of you for sharing your story with us! As someone who struggles with many mental illnesses if you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here. Love you and your videos! ❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story, this has helped me tons. I've struggled with similar problems you mentioned and it is always nice to know I'm not alone and that there is support out there. Thank you for being so strong
Proud of you for having the courage to do this. 💜 Stay strong and take care Hailey, and know we’re always here for you.
I literally cried for you watching this, it really saddens me to think that the person who always put a smile on my face whose funny personality and bookish taste had always been my favorite is a whole another person behind the camera, a person so broken yet so strong you deserve all the happiness and WE LOVE YOU (I'm a old subscriber and you've always been my favourite booktuber) Stay blessed deary ❤❤❤❤
This video really helped me a lot. Thank you for being brave enough to talk about these hard and personal topics. Sending love your way 💗
You are absolutely phenomenal Hailey! Love you & so proud of you. Sending you all the love & blessings cuz you deserve them 💖🥰🤗
Hailey - I had no idea! It is kinda shocking for me, considering I’ve been always thinking of you as this happy, brave, inspiring girl who could never ever possibly get out of words. But I guess this is your background story that also partly is responsible that you are the amazing person I get to see through your Videos. So to me - you are so impressive. You always look like the person that I wanna be so hard, but I am never good enough which is not as bad as it sounds, since I get to see this wonderful person in your videos.
I just genuinely wish you the best for your life!
Lots n lots of love from Germany
You’re so brave to tell us! I love your videos and you! You’re such an inspiration to us all! Lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧 💞❤️💞❤️
you're so brave for filming this, and thank you so much for uploading it. I struggle with OCD and an eating disorder, and it's really helped to watch this. i'm glad you've been getting the help you deserve, lots of love xx
Thank you so much for sharing💓
This video is extremely relatable and it feels so comforting to know that I’m not alone. Thank you for being so inspiring
We all love you hailey, and you are a beautful, brave and smart young woman, and ignore the hate comments that you get and be you for who you are. I am so so glad that you shared this video, since I also sturggle with depression and social anxiety.
I never posted a comment before, but this time, I must. I am proud of you and you inspire me to be a writer one day. Look at what you accomplished these years! Honestly, you are beautiful and smart. You are who you are- and I love who you are. Thank you for sharing this with us, you are very brave.
thank you so much for sharing. I had tears in my eyes the whole time watching this bc I get it. so I just wanna say thank you and that you’re loved, supported, and appreciated💕always
I love you and I love this and I’m so so so proud of you, for doing this and in general. You’re amazing and this means so much to me. Thank you💕
Hello my love. It sounds like you and I have a lot of parallels with our experiences and I'm so pleased you're brave enough to talk about these issues with your audience. Removing the stigma of mental health is so important, especially for younger people who can get help when they need it, which is something I did not do as a teen. At the age of 30, I've finally gathered the courage to get myself into therepy (my first appointment is on Monday!) and the reason I've been able to do that is people like you being open about their struggles. It makes the world a little less lonely and a little more bright. Stay awesome, girl ❤️
We love you Hailey and for us your mental health is more important than anything else 💓💓
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Sending you so much love! 💕
sending so much love to you 💖 i’m incredibly happy and proud of you for sticking around!! you are such a beautiful soul. thank you for sharing this with us. love you lots!
What? How can anyone hate such a precious little thing as you?
Your bravery is so admirable.💙
Thank you so much for sharing this with us I am very PROUD OF YOU, YOU ARE PERFECT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
You are such an incredible, caring and inspirational person. Thank you for just being you 💕
We love you ❤
I find it incredibly brave that you made this video and I'm sure it is important to many of your viewers.
I had a #MeToo experience when I was a kid, but my therapy really worked for me and now I don't have mental health problems anymore. I know now that there is always, ALWAYS a way out. I wish all the best for you, Hailey, and everyone else here.
Greetings from across the Atlantic. :)
so happy to see more people like you talking about this
This actually made me cry... Thank you Hailey, I really needed to hear that 💖
You're so beautiful! I can't believe people actually say that stuff about you!! Seriously I cannot believe that! As I go through my own stuff, I read to cope with it, and booktubers help me too. You help me. You are so wonderful and I love you!
I think you’re so brave and so strong and seriously I admire you!! You’re one of my favorite RUclipsrs and the one I relate to the most so this was so meaningful to me. I always love to listen to other people talking about their mental illness cause it makes me feel like I’m not alone. I just wanted to send you love and positivity and say you’re the sweetest and I’m proud of you 🥰❤️
We're all here to support you Hailey whenever you need it. I love your videos and I've found books that I loved because of you (Finished reading Cinder yesterday and I loved it. Gonna read the whole series now)
Thank you for sharing this video it means so much!!! You are amazing and loved!!!❤❤❤
So proud of you! I’ve been watching you for a while, and I’m old enough to be your mom. I have a daughter slightly younger than you so it is good to see role models that can be so inspiring!! Also got back into reading more because of you and your recommendations, so thank you!
thank you so much for sharing 💜💜💜💚💚💚💙💙💙❤❤❤💛💛💛💗💗💗🧡🧡🧡 you are SO beautiful and some people are just assholes. I recently had a very low week with my mental state (I ended up crying in my mum's arms on the floor one night) but I finally started seeing a therapist and I've had a very good almost 2 weeks now and even if I know it probably won't always be like that I'll try and work harder for myself too now 💕
(this is actually Ashlee lol) but I could never ever thank-you enough for this. I'm a mom of 4 and I stay a home and go to online college. I struggle with depression and anxiety so bad, it gets super bad for months on end. Just seeing someone I look up to go throw the same stuff and make all these things happen gives me a lot of hope. I'm super proud of you and if you need someone, I'm here (same for everyone who can see this).
Thank you for being a bright beautiful light in the world despite your own struggles.
Much love. (this video made me cry but in a good way lol)
Thank you for sharing and being so brave! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I didn't know I needed to hear some of these things until now, and they have helped me see past the horrible and look at what is really important.
i love you and support you! this was extremely helpful for me as i struggle with anxiety and it takes over a big part of my life. i'm sorry about the hate but don't let it get to you! you are strong and amazing!❤ (also this is quite late but i felt the need to post it)
i'm so, so proud of you. 💜
All the love ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing your story
I suffer from depression and anxiety as well and totally understand how you feel. Thank you for putting yourself out there like this. It really does help when you know you’re not alone. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I love watching your videos. Much love to you. 😊
Words cannot describe how thankful I am with you because I've been struggling my whole life with depression I tried to commit suicide a couple of times and I really really appreciate this video. it reminds me that I'm not the only one who is struggling with depression and self loading and insecurities we just have to take it day by day. Wishing you the best I know that this is hard and it will always be hard but I know we are strong and we will fight Always❤ much love from me💫
This video is the perfect example of how you can see someone all the time (on camera or in real life) and never really know what they are going through or what they are feeling. Anonymity on the internet makes it so easy for people to say the first evil thing that comes to mind without considering the actual person they are speaking to and what they could trigger in a person. You don't owe anyone your story if you choose not to tell it but you chose to share a part of it you thought would help others. I am a silent watcher but this was brave of you to post and I wanted to say it. The fact that you had it in you to make this video public speaks to how far you have come and will continue to go. HUGS!
Sending you so much love. Glad you were able to open up about it
No. Thank you. You got through to me. You’re very brave and I think it’s wonderful that you’re using your social media not only for fun, but for good, too. I’m in the middle of a big bout with my mental illnesses now and this was a reminder that I’m not alone. Your description of anxiety is exactly what I’ve been trying to tell people who don’t understand but I just haven’t been able to articulate. So, THANK YOU for sharing your story. You’re wise beyond your years. I’m almost 44! Mental illness can affect anyone. Any age. Any weight. Any social class. People don’t think we LOOK sick which is why it’s so hard to be understood. Anyway, thank you again and be well. 💕
SUCH AN INSPIRATION FOR SO MANY PEOPLEE WE ♥️ U HAILEY !!!!
Thank you so much for making this. I've been struggling a lot today because of my anxiety. It's made me feel so much better hearing you talk about it and your struggles and I know that the majority of people watching this are super proud of you. We all love you so so much. Thank you for opening up 💗 Stay strong, Hailey 💗
Also if anyone in the comment section ever needs anyone to talk to, please feel free to get in contact with me. Nobody here is alone 💗
Awkward Hannah I do ! I’m going through the same thing. And no matter how I distruct myself my brain just wouldn’t stop.
Thank you so much for being brave and sharing this with us! I am struggling with anxiety as well, so this was very helpful. Love you so much!
I'm so proud of you. You seem exactly the type of person who would be my best friends. I'm clad to know you through RUclips and I can't wait to read your books one day. I also have anxiety issues. It's mostly because I am a huge procrastinator and I ignore my responsibilities but I'm trying to be better and teach myself better time management. And my stupid anxious ass applied to one of the hardest Master's studies programme in my country... You are my inspiration to work on my mental health. Thank you for opening up ❤
I was thinking about my depression. And I got your video's notification
I think it isn't over yet. It's been one year. And still I don't go to work, party's, I haven't any friend to talk. That's why I like books to forget myself.
Rajesh Bookrider if you need someone to talk to, I’m here.
@@leofaerie thanks Brianna.! I will talk but right now I am researching about what was really happened to me. I'm watching short depression, anxiety awareness videos and read about it on net.
One thing is clear that I have to learn more and more about it, to get completely rid of it.
After 4 years of struggling, especially with the last year being absolutely terrifying, I decided to get help last year. I'm currently seeing my 4th psychologist and trying out my 2nd medication, not knowing if it will work and if I'll be able to work on myself enough. It's an exhausting process but videos like this, where people I like (you Hailey ♥) talk about dealing with certain issues, makes me believe this process is worth it and that I might be able learn how to deal with my issues in a healthy way as well. All the love to you ♥
All the best to you. I’m proud of you for taking those steps 💜
@@HaileyinBookland thank you, that means a lot
thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I'm so sorry for whatever you've gone through but you're very strong to get this far and have accomplished so much....just want you to know you're not alone and we are all your friends. also ignore the haters as well it is very hard i know but somehow stuff on line doesn't effect me as much as real life stuff does like at work etc. because i can't see the people online who are hating not that i've experienced that that much i just shrug it off. I have depression/anxiety and have recently been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum before christmas. i have dealt with bullying etc during school i hate anxiety so much long walks in nature always helps me
Thank you for sharing your story Hailey. It take such a lot of courage to open up about mental health and I'm proud of you! Sending love from the UK 😊
Dear Hailey,
For a while now Ive tried to understand what's wrong with me. The way you opened up about having axiety, made me realize that I might have axiety as well.
I cant shut down my brain. I keep thinking of the worst possible outcomes. These thoughts come to me when Im trying to concetrate on my studies or revision. They just pop up and make me so uneasy. Sometimes my heart starts to beat faster and breath quickens. Then I feel like Im being squeezed in too tight and Im suffocating. I try to make myself better. I try to focus more but when something just slitely slips. I see myself as a failure. I didnt think I needed help. Bcz my friends tell me that I just need to stop stressing and things will be fine.
Im scared of telling my parents. I fear they may not understand and just dismiss me.
Thank you for making this video. It gives me courage.❤❤❤
You will find your comfort and your answers in Allah's book. Just stay strong and don't give up
Dida Ussi you can call one of the helplines and get advice on your particular situation. I wish you the best. I suffer as well and understand your fear.
As someone who has struggled with extreme anxiety for years I can assure you that it gets better. Don’t feel ashamed to ask for help❤️
Let's go and show Hailey some love under her next IG post!❤✌

Thank you for posting this. I understand where your coming from. I am sorry to hear that you have went through this. You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I love watching your videos. You are beautiful and anyone who says differently has something wrong with them.
Love you
I am proud of you and I love you. YOU ARE AMAZING!
Thank you so much for sharing, I know how hard it must have been to open up about this. I want you to know that I'm here to support you and I'm sure everyone else is too. Love you so much xxxx
I’m sending a huge bundle of love your way!! 💕 Your bravery is inspirational and I will always support you!! Your videos have helped me so much- you deserve every success!!! ❤️
Love you and your channel! Thank you for being so honest and real! 💜
Sending so much love to you 💖 It's so brave to talk about this!

This really hit home. Thank you so much for making it.
