I remember, when I used to see my old therapist, and I would talk to her about my passion for RUclips, she thought it was a 'meh' type of hobby. Then, at my first app. with my current therapist, she was SO intrigued with my RUclips channel. She thought that was the coolest thing! It was so encouraging :)
we stan this queen also yes i understand i have ADD and it’s super annoying when people say like ‘oh i’m sooo add’ bc they don’t and it’s not a joke or something
Yeah I totally get that. I have OCD and it's soo annoying when "qUiRkY" people say "My __ is so unorganized, my OCD is kicking in 😗✌️" like no it's nothing like that
i 100% agree with making mental health jokes. I had this “friend” who would talk about “jumping off a bridge” when a teacher gave us a project she didn’t like. she’d also say that she needed pills sooo badly for her “anxiety”. now, i suggested that she’d see our school councillor for helping her if she was serious but then she’d say “no it’s not that bad I just need pills” which rlly doesn’t make sense since if she felt the need to have pills it WAS that bad. she laughed and always degraded everyone else’s problems to make hers seem more important and worse. like when I’d talk to her about what was upsetting me she was like “okay that must be sucky but I have anxiety and depression soooo.” it really pissed me off because she was like bragging about it
i personally struggle with DIAGNOSED anxiety and OCD and it bothers me when ppl say “omg my ocd is so bad i need to have my room clean all the time” when they actually aren’t diagnosed with OCD. bc i struggle with my ocd and it just bothers me when ppl say that and they don’t even know the extent. And I truly truly respect that you have apologized and recognized your mistakes! thank you 💗💗
I'm pretty sure I have OCD and other mental health issues but I'm too scared to tell my mother... I really wanna go to therapy, but I'm always too scared 😥( Not trying to self-diagnose myself or anything I'm just saying I really think I have these issues and it scares me. I'm not saying I HAVE it I'm saying there's a chance I could or might/maybe have it, that's why I wanna go so I can find out and get help)
Omg bruh ur speaking my language! This is literally the grand scheme of my life 24/7, I was diagnosed with PTSD as a child & have always struggled with OCD & anxiety now 15, and I also hate it when people say they need things neat all the time or quickly say, “Oh I do that all the time” when they probably are either competing with me or others about how many problems they have or are just neat, maybe they actually do have OCD, but my point is ppl who say those things don’t know what it’s like to HAVE to clean their room every night or straighten this particular chair this particular way every single night or worry every time my parent is late even by a minute to an event, or late to come home or speak impulsively whatever is on their mind.
4:00 I understand what you’re saying but you can feel anxious without having an anxiety disorder; you can feel depressed without having major depressive disorder. As long as you’re not lying / exaggerating, I don’t feel like it’s a romanticisation of mental illness to describe how you feel using words associated with a disorder. Edit: it’s different when someone claims to have a disorder when they only have symptoms of it. Like when people claim to have ADHD without a diagnosis because they struggle to focus in school - that’s unacceptable
H C No that’s not what I meant at all. I was saying I didn’t think she was romanticising mental illness by saying she felt anxious etc. But it would be different IF she was claiming to have a disorder, but she wasn’t so I personally didn’t see a problem
I agree. Since lockdown I have had pretty bad anxiety, not because of the virus, because I imagined that I had a very bad illness and almost making myself have symptoms of heart problems (if you know what I mean) I still have it a little but it’s getting better. So I agree completely with you.
People need to learn the difference between feeling anxious and having anxiety. One is a temporary sentiment that doesnt really take over your life, the other is no joke. Im happy you realized this and are telling your audience to do the same!
there's a problem in here, and I really recommend this for both sides(patient and therapist) the relantionship between both HAS to be professional. In fact, they try as hard as they can to make it professional and friendly, so if you take them as your "best friends" that would make it harder for them to have an emotional distance. Emotional distance is ESSENTIAL for therapists, doctors, nurses etc. It's like "I care about you, and I appreciate you, but that's it. We're not friends and there isn't a deeper connection". It may look weird but it's for their own good. Imagine having an special relationship with EVERY patient. Their problems will follow u to ur house. If smth bad happens to them, you'll suffer a lot(they still feel bad bc it's human, but it's worse if there isn't an emotional distance in there) AND that can end up as a burnout syndrome which is so hard to go through. They can even end up in depression. Let's remember that therapists are humans too. So please, enjoy ur time with ur therapist, trust them and build a healthy professional relationship. I love my therapist by heart, her and my psyquiatrist. They both changed my life, but I HAVE to see them as that: doctors helping me. Idk if I'm explaining myself.
That is really helpful! I have been trying to become good friends with my therapist for a long time and haven't seen many good results with my anxiety, maybe I will dile it down a little bit!
@keemochee Bruh chill your ass. They're not talking for an entire generation they are just sharing their opinion and point of view on this specific matter. If you think differently, that is okay but at the moment you're the one who is being over dramatic :D They made a valid point but you did as well. Therapists aren't your friends but they're also no stranger. Set clear boundaries with your therapist and you should be fine.
I had mental break downs, and anxiety and I am 13 years now so imagine. Thank you to talk about this naturally, its really help, because some people think if you go there you are crazy AND LOL NOO, so thank you very much, I f*cking adore you. *Everyone is touch in different ways, everyone needs to go for x reason*
Therapy is great. I went to a psychiatrist for my separation anxiety that I had. I used to have lots of panic attacks when I had to be home alone. (Hyperventilating, crying stuff like that) It helped me a lot. Now I’m actually wanting to be home alone. But I still have separation anxiety when I have to throw things out, or when I move. (Which is what’s happening rn) But yeah! It’s awkward at the beginning, it’s hard to open up. But it’s great eventually.
This is honestly the push I needed! I just really want someone I can share and talk to about anything and everything that's not someone I personally know, someone who can continue motivating me and making sure I stick with the goals I set for myself, so hearing that your experience with a therapist has been great is super encouraging
Has someone experience with social anxiety therapy? Like I know that I really need to see a therapist cause I've been struggling with social anxiety really bad but I honestly dont know what to expect and that scares me
I don’t have social anxiety but I know what it’s like. My first appointment kinda felt like a doctors appointment when the nurse asks you all those questions. My therapist just tried to get to know me, and yeah it was a bit awkward to open up to someone you just met, but they are very good at listening.
i’ve been to many therapy sessions for social anxiety and my therapist was SO nice and genuine. you do not have to be scared to see a therapist. you can be so open with them and they will not JUDGE AT ALL. what i am saying is that seeing a therapist is great.
As a young teenage girl (13), I always get criticised for my mental health state. I have anxiety, depression, adhd, and am currently my doctor is getting me tested for bipolar. I have had people ask me about what I have. Then, I would tell them and they would tell me I’m just faking it. It hurts because it’s not my fault.
abt the adhd part it annoys the heck out of me I have add (diagnosed by a professional) and a lot of youtubers say that they have adhd like its just some quirky thing that makes them get distracted easily. EVERYONE can get distracted. personally my adhd has been such a BIG struggle and i can't focus for the life of me and my grades are horrible. so just do me a favor.. if you are not diagnosed by a professional don't joke about it
that’s exactly how i felt about wanting an unbiased opinion. i always go to my mom and i feel like she tells me i’m right just because she’s my mom. like of course she’s gonna tell me i’m in the right because she’s my mom. i’ve wanted to see a therapist for a while now and this video made me wanna see one even more
i've been really contemplating going to see a therapist recently and i honestly think that this video really motivated me to actually ask my parents to set it up. thank you so so much abbey. i hope it's as good as it sounds
i go to therapy for my depression and i hate cuz its forced it but i feel like if i went cuz i wanted to then i would love it and this video makes me realize that i should tell my therapist more stuff thanks abbey ur the best
I used to say I had anxiety when I didn’t get diagnosed with it and I went to a psychologist and she had diagnosed me with anxiety depression and body dysmorphia so I’m really glad I went! If I didn’t go I would have never known about that.
Shekinah's Life it’s a mental illness that involves constant focus of a perceived flaw in appearance. For me I exercise for hours and count calories. TW. I also have issues with eating too little or too much. I can’t have conversations without constantly thinking about flaws on my body.
i honestly understand you i have s.a.d major depression ocd g.a.d and thoughts about ifykyk and i don't wanna go to therapy because i overthink everything
i told my mom about my problem that i’ve been struggling for about 2-3 years. I told her that i had another panick attack, my social anxiety, depression and eating disorder. I told her i was fine and that i don’t need counseling or therapy, and i’m scared to tell other people about my problems
i have dm’ed you and really love you but this videos makes me wanna go to therapy cause of personal issues and my nerves! so thanks for inspiring me. ily ❤️
I have severe ADHD and it is so Frick fracking annoying when people say they are depressed or have anxiety when they really don't and it ticks me offffffffffffffff.
Omg thank you I know a quit a few people that just bring it up whenever and say they have it when they don’t so I’m glad to hear someone else say something but I understand getting really anxious about one thing or every fcking think
I’ve seen a doctor for ADD and ADHD but not a therapist... I like how it makes me want to communicate more because of my ADD and you can see this message is probably longer than it should normally be but I talk to much in real life too and it’s because I have ADD
My fav color is blue!! You remind me of my freind brooklyn but older and rllyyyyyyy funnnyyyyyy!! i love your channel so much and who woudlnt want to be freinds with you!! LIKE YOU ARE THE BEST!! ilysmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!
abbey your such a inspiration and you are so real and true to your self and others and you remind me so much of my best friend and she kinda looks like you 😊😇
My old therapist was not like yours at all. When 3 of my friends died and I called her for advice she called the police on me. It was a terrible experience for me.
I really appreciate that you’re able to recognize your mistakes and grow from them

i literally live her chaotic energy sm it’s craaazay
Her: They don’t tell anyone
Me: laughs in family therapist
After watching this is realised
*i need to go see a therapyst*
I hope you get the help you need
there's a problem in here, and I really recommend this for both sides(patient and therapist)
