- Hey guys! The first couple of times I tried to upload this video it took 8 hours to upload and then failed to process because the footage was corrupted. Is that a sign from the universe that I should not upload this video? Probably, but hey I think showing this side of my life is important.
These are just a few of the things I do when I'm depressed to help me move in the right direction. I hope this video helps you and/or entertains you! If it did then go ahead and hit the thumbs up button, or subscribe if you want to.
If you are going through a hard time right now please know that you are not alone in this. You are so strong and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I promise!

i always feel like i want to be comforted by someone but i also resist to reach out for a help :)
I can be that way sometimes too! I always want to be comforted, but I also don’t want to bring people down with me. I hope this video potentially offered some comfort for you!
sameee😪i also hate not knowing if they’re going to be understanding or not
💯
Same-
I continuosly reach out an it doesnt help because its within myself
I feel like sometimes I'm in so much denial that i actually convince myself that I'm not depressed. And people around me also say - oh wow you seem to be doing better but we all know - smiling does not equal healing/happiness/etc
I appreciate that she talks about binge eating. I do that when I’m depressed too. I see a lot of people talking about how they can’t eat when they are depressed. I always judged myself for not being one of those people
It’s not better, you make yourself sick from not eating and you feel weak and dizzy. It’s a real struggle for me.
@@kristenkelly2022 Oh, I totally know that it isn't better. That certainly does sound like a struggle. I was simply saying that I never hear people openly talking about binge eating as a symptom of depression.
@@margaretliston8950 Yeah both are symptoms and I'm not sure why you haven't heard of binge eating since it's literally referred to as "eating your feelings" when your down/depressed.
@@jclyntoledo I have certainly heard of binge eating. What I was trying to communicate is that you don't see people talking about it as a symptom that they experience. There seems to be more shame associated with binge eating
I know I’m late to the discussion but I just wanna say I’m right with you. I go back and forth between not eating and bingeing when I’m depressed. And when I binge it’s always in the middle of the night where I’m just sitting and eating sooo much food to where I almost get sick.
I feel like I needed to see this video - I’ve been I a manic depressive episode for the past 2 months manly because of corona and school and also because I am literally In the middle of my lawsuit against my sexual abuser, so my mind is just a big chaos. Thank u for talking about it and being real !! 🤍
Are you feeling better? ❤️
@@itzjackie8606 aww how cute. Thanks for asking - I do! Its still not easy sometimes and 2021 was a hard year but I’m getting there 💓
I am going through a abusive relationship too. It s very hard.
Random side note so does the white heart now have 2 meanings? bc I was originally told it meant someone close to you died like the white bicycle thing on the side of the road but I keep randomly seeing a white heart randomly on stuff. So if it's another meaning can you let me know bc I'm so lost. I see white hearts literally everywhere online.
I’ve never felt tho low . I binge eat and I hate going places I’m afraid someone’s gonna see how fat I’ve gotten. I been crying my antidepressants don’t work . You’re beautiful I wish you could see how beautiful you are. I hope we both get thru this
You just dont know how much this touched me. How much I relate to you. And I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. Because I know exactly how you feel. I don't even know you. But I absolutely love you.
I feel the same way
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been in a really bad depressive episode for months and I’m exhausted most days just from trying to take care of myself. I’ve gained so much weight and my bedroom is so messy it’s hard for me to be in there and most of the time I just feel disgusted with myself. This has been one of the worst episodes I’ve ever had and I’m still working through it, but as I’m watching this video I feel some of the tightness in my chest loosening up. It’s really nice to know I’m not alone. Thank you for being so vulnerable.
summer depression has really hit me hard but this definitely inspired me to get better, started doing my laundry while watching this :) thank you
I'm in my dark phase right now too, and I'm glad that I found your video. This is giving me consolation & comfort so thank you for being so brave to show your vulnerable side. Knowing that I'm not alone & there is possibility for me to get out of this phase is enough to make me feel better. I love a genuine person like you 💜
I know this is an old video but I needed help right now and this helped. It made me sad at some points but your fight to pull through is very helpful
I haven't felt my best today. I came across your video and I listened to it as I sat on the bottom of my shower. I don't know if I have depression, but this vid made me feel a little better.
you’re so beautiful and inspirational
Oh my goodness thank you so much 🥺❤️
I can relate SO deeply when it comes to the body image stuff and tying your worth to it. For me, if I don't dedicate time to taking care of myself, then I fall into the hole. It can be so exhausting to have to put so much effort into caring for yourself, and it's tough not to turn depression into self judgement and shame (which in turn only makes you feel more of what you're feeling). It helps to know that there's other people that go through the same stuff, and it reminds me that I'm not defective, broken, or worthless--I'm just experiencing life, the good and the bad. People are complex, brains are complex, emotions are complex. Putting labels on ourselves as weak, broken, undesirable, etc is so unhelpful, and I know I'm trying to learn to stop being so mean to myself.
Had to pause in the first 4 minutes so I can watch alone in my room and cry along. I don’t know what it is but I keep having very good highs and then out of no where I’ll have pretty bad lows that seem to last a lot longer than the highs. We all got this ❤️
You should consult your health professional. You might have bipolar disorder.
I know this video must have been hard to film at the time but it is genuinely so validating tbh to see someone struggle with the same things as me. So thanks
Hi - first comment EVER. This is where I’m at. Thank you for being vulnerable, it means the world. I have felt so incredibly alone in these moments - even when around friends. It’s seeing that you have the same thoughts and use the same words of “fear” and “tired” that makes me feel heard. Thank you 💖
I watched this video while cleaning my room that got super messy because I had no motivation for anything due to a mental health struggles. I really appreciate you making this video and keeping it real, it feels really comforting that someone else is going through similar struggles.
I'm glad I found this today. I'm in a depressive mood today and I appreciate your transparency. I've been struggling with my body image as well plus adjusting to new hormones and medication. I work full time so I get so scared when I feel like this when I'm not at home and have to mask my emotions. I use humor just like you. Your videos matter, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I watched this while getting myself put together after a really hard mental health period. Thank you for showing me I'm not alone.
So relatable..I also really never understand why people really only talk about rough times after they have come out of it as well
Thank u for being so real. It’s refreshing to know I am not alone. Keep being u, beautiful. You are loved. God’s got a plan. ❤️
Love love love💜 wish more people were so transparent honestly.
Also. Editing is 100%
Thank you! I’m gonna keep up being transparent and be as open as I can 😊
Thanks for posting this. Depression can feel so so lonely and hopeless. I’m happy you’re feeling better and posted this to help others :)
so I just watched this video and you are so brave for filming and putting this up! I really feel you and thank you for showing us this side, unfortunately I can relate soo much. But just seeing someone else also going through these rough days/weeks can help a LOT to not feel alone, to not feel like being the only one. I said it before and I'll say it again: you deserve so much more of an audience than a ton of influencers have right now.
I’m sorry that you can relate, but glad that you see the value in videos like this and appreciated it! It was scary to put up, but my mental health is a really big part of my life and I wanted people to feel less alone if they needed it or at least know that it’s an issue in my life. You are so sweet for gassing me up like this 🥺❤️
Thats how i feel every day but i do not tell others
I am watching this on 20 October 2021 and currently going through a deeply trying depressive episode, honestly feels like I'm in full blown depression but watching this has been so therapeutic and helped me feel so much less alone. So many of the emotions you felt is what I am currently feeling and I really related to this a ton. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so vulnerable and transparent, you helped me feel way less isolated and I cannot thank you enough for validating so much for me. I hope you are feeling better, I know you filmed this over a year ago but I hope that things have gotten so much better for you. Keep shining your light honey xoxo
I've been struggling with a depressive episode for the past five months and I could relate to so much. I want to thank you for filming and posting this video cause it sure looked hard as hell but I'm sure it made a difference for hundreds of people. Just hearing words that describe perfectly a pain is helping so much and it felt like sharing with a friend. Thank you so much
I was trying to find a video like this and I found it. It's really helpful because I'm going through this phase in my life right now. Literally unemployed, no motivation, wanting to stay in bed all day and escape my reality. This is a real help ☀️
Exactly where I am right now 😭😭 did y manage to get out of this? Xx
how are u guys doing now
Hope you're doing better
I appreciate you sharing. I suffer from depression too. People like you sharing,makes me feel not alone.
I’m so glad I could help you feel less alone! Depression is the worst but there IS light at the end of the tunnel I promise!
Thank you, I appreciate that. Also I will support your future content. I think it is very brave to share about your mental health, I find sharing mine embarrassing at times.
Just wanted to say thank you for being so open and honest! And I’m sending so many good vibes and love! ❤️
I’m sending the good vibes right back! Thank you for the support 🥺❤️😽
The thumbnail for this video is everything!!!! Thanks for being so real and open xoxo
thank you! The thumbnail is always the hardest part, but I actually planned ahead this time 😂
Self care is EVERYTHING! I’ve learned so much this year with self care but some days are harder then others. A girl I FEEL YOU with the recording!! I used to be on a strict schedule but I started to not be happy with my content so I stopped. I only want to post what I love not a schedule!
I’ve kinda come to terms with the fact that uploads are going to be a little slower than I planned, but as long as I’m taking that hiatus as a time to better myself than I am totally okay with it! And I’m proud of you for realizing that you want to love what you are creating! I feel like so many people just constantly pump out content because they feel like they have to and I a) find it hard to feel fulfilled that way and b)get burned out too easily

Me to hun, me too. I feel hopeless. I'm crying too :( I binge eat too. Mine all started after I lost my license, car and mom to suicide. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I'M THERE.
I relate to this so much, rying to keep my head above water, but most days are just horrendous. I hope that you will feel better, X Jade
Thank you so much. You are the sweetest and bravest. I have been depressed since 12 (now 30) and the last 10 years my depression has been non stop (relatively high functioning though) and am not sure how am even alive.
I will be trying magic mushrooms in a month or two. Did quite a lot of research on them, how they can actually cure severe depression. They are my last hope. Take care. ♥️
This video was posted 4 years ago, but even to this day, it has impact on the well being of others. Thank you for sharing this.
This video really helped me to not feel alone. Thank you. I hope you’re managing well.
omg i can't tell you how much i relate to this video, have been in a state like that for 2 months too! you're not alone (which is what you showed me with this video haha)
i feel like you always post something so close to my heart exactly when i need to see it (sure the world revolves around me right lol) so THANK YOU.
i think we have a lot in common, it feels like i just saw myself in that video, exept with much greater hair, skin, face & body 😂
i hope you feel better soon & as weird as it sounds i'm here for you x
I’m so glad that this video made you realize you are not alone because you aren’t! We’ll get through this hard time together. And if you ever need someone to talk to I’m one dm away 😽❤️
hi! i couldn't stop myself from leaving a comment since i keep coming back to this video. i wanted to share how thankful i am for your courage to post, what we all are usually trying to mask and hide. watching it gives me a comfort, a lingering feeling that i shouldn't give up yet. i haven't opened up to anyone about how i feel for the past 2 years, so while reliving what i feel watching your experiences helps me to cope.
it's really hard for me to express how important this video is to me and i dont want to come as wierd. i think atm im just conflicted.
thanks to you again, i hope you live by searching what keeps you feeling happy longterm
p.s. english is not my native language, i hope i made sense, sorry if i wrote something wrong. 🖤
Thank you for posting!! 💙 it takes so SO much strength. I needed to see this video today. You actually GET how i feel today. Bad days are so hard to explain to someone who hasnt felt it themself. Thank you for helping me not feel alone, but im praying u dont feel that bad ever again. 💙
This needs more views than it already has.
New sub here from the mental health army ! Love your channel cant wait to watch more videos 😊
Thank you for the support and welcome to the fam 😽❤️
I’ve literally never related to something more. Love when youtube gets it right. Hope you’re feeling a little lighter by now. ❤
I 100% understand where you’re coming from. It’s okay girl, we ALL feel this way and you’re going to be OKAY 💜
Thank you for the support and love 🥺❤️
Thank you for being vulnerable and showing this side of mental health. I have been stuck in a deep depression for that last year or so. And I relate to this video so much to a T. Your video really did remind me that I’m not alone with all these feelings❤
i needed this so bad to get out of bed and take a shower today and it’s 3 years old. thank you 🥺
Yes, doing what you can is totally okay! There are days when I can only get one or two chores done and that’s an accomplishment. It’s okay to not get everything done. Just keep doing your best. ❤️❤️
dang this is 3 years old and relevant as hell
Thank you for this I have been going through a very hard time and I feel better watching ur video :,)
I feel you girl I’m cryin with you but you’ve got this you clearly want to get better so you’ve got this there is hope.❤️
Watching this while refilling my weekly meds calendar thing - I even forgot the name of it or what it’s called LOL
The first 16 seconds is literally what I’ve been saying for the past year now! I’ve been wanting to start a channel based on the process and not what it looks like AFTER
It is my experience that when you tell some people you feel in a bad place, it can be used against you, and some people think and say it’s a negative and bad thing, like your weak and they are scornful towards you, usually behind your back - which you kinda sense and in turn it makes thing worse and kinda makes you feel a bit paranoid
But there are some people who have your back
😘
I love you so much and I haven't even had the pleasure of raving with you yet!🖤 I really appreciate you posting this and you are SO STRONG being able to openly talk about your emotions. You are a diamond and the world is a better place because of beautiful souls like you💗💗💗
Omg my heart 🥺
I’ve been there too krista. You aren’t alone. I’ve known you since elementary school and you’re such a great person.
this was two years ago.. i have never felt more connected to words before this. it's somehow soothing to know that i'm not alone with this sadness. thank you for this video 🤍🤍
It's so relieving to watch someone who living same experience with you. Literally I am feeling like I am watching myself, and this is do therapeutic, during depression we tend to be very harsh on ourselves, it really helps to realize that actually we are not alone in this journey. Sending hugs from Greece
From someone who doesn’t know anybody that struggles like I do, I was shocked and comforted to hear you’re struggling with the same things I am. I’ve always felt like I was insane because I never actually found anyone in real life that had the ability to have a similar experience to me. Thank you for this video and i appreciate you so much. I hope you’re doing so much better now
I hate when .. people know your depressed cause of how you care for yourself..but it’s worse to share with people that see your energy as a burden. So no . Not talking is the worst habit and scariest “task” . Depression feels like a onion, too many layers that make you cry . Ah I feel slightly humbled getting that off my chest
This is so relatable. You are so relatable. I almost cried multiple times watching this, being depressed myself. Too weak to stand for a shower... Needing a random nap.... Sad for flat drinks... The things that hit hard! Thank you for sharing this.... This past weekend i almost didnt make it.... This is so healing.... Really... I cant thank you enough.... A life saving video for me. Big sad hug from me.... Even though im an introvert and i usually avoid everyone and everything.
youtube just put this video on my page, i’m glad you found the strength to put this video out for us two years ago. sending love 💗
Sending so much love and respect for sharing during such a vulnerable time.
I don't think I've ever related to someone else this much, thank you so much for being so vulnerable with us, it really does help to know you're not alone.
I have to get ready for a phone interview and I feel absolutely awful, I appreciate your vulnerability because I feel terrible & it’s helping me actually start moving through my day
Just want to let you know that I am going through another dark episode and found your video. It made me feel better and like you said it makes me feel like I am not alone. So thank you for being brave and sharing your journey and this vulnerable moment. And I know exactly how you feel with your looks. I feel the same way about myself.
But you look very sweet and beautiful ❤️
Sending you a hug.
Thank you! ♥♥♥ I just started my channel not too long ago and am still finding my footing, and in the last few months I have been dealing with a lot of seasonal depression and unraveling issues with my own body image and its made it so hard to keep a regular upload schedule and I beat myself up but never show that side in my videos, despite starting my channel with the idea of being as open and honest as you are in this video. Well, I just ended my relationship of 3+ years a week ago and went into a huge depressed spiral, and honestly I couldn't finish filming or editing anything the last week. Your video and a lot of advice from others finally allowed me to be open and honest and film a video where I at least briefly acknowledged that I am not doing the best right now and even just saying that out loud and acknowledging it has allowed me to start editing again.
I love your personality, I love your look, and I love your style. Thank you for making this! New Sub ♥
✨ KTE
I just subbed back! You deserve way more subs. Your content is killer and it’s only going to get better!
I’m so proud of you for opening up and although things are really hard right now, it will get better! You are beautiful and strong and have such a bright future ahead of you. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m just a dm away ❤️😽
@@kristasuelovesyou ❤❤❤❤
I can't get over how beautiful you are. And thank you for making this video. Love youuuuuuuu!
You're not alone a lot of us are dealing with a lot of the same issues I love seeing videos of people going through the same as me it feels less lonely
I needed this. Exactly this. 🥺🥺🥺😩 All of this feels so impossible sometimes, but you’re doing a great job coping in healthy ways. ❤️
I'm rooting for you girl..thank you for this video and being so raw and real. It's hard to find these days so I just wanted to say I appreciate and love you. I can relate to you in so many different ways.. we've got this! Your a real inspiration. God bless you!
Ik I'm late but then I appreciate the honesty
You’re so beautiful. You made me feel like I wasn’t the only one who feels this way. Thank you for sharing your feelings, I know it takes a lot to post to the world of how you’re feeling. New subscriber! I hope you are doing well, keep your head high girl! Everything will be okay, it may take time but that’s okay. Stay strong❤️
Came across this video and im absolutely sobbing because I'm going thru so much right and i needed this to feel less alone even though its from a year ago.
I really hope you're doing okay ❤
I love your hair color and your eyebrows look so nice :)
i reach out to people for advice/comfort/whatnot and when I do and I'm actually open I end up comforting them because no one really realizes how dark it gets
Thank you so much for sharing, this makes me feel less alone going through things. We’ll get through this- I love you
I care babe. Thank you for sharing your struggle. 🤗❤
Ahw baby♥️ It's like hearing myself talk. You were vulnerable in this video and i love that about this video. It helps me to really see that i'm not alone instead of just knowing i'm not. Keep your head up babe💃 I hope you're feeling a little better today😊
Im so glad I stumbled on your video. Definitely helps feel less alone. Hope youre doing better since you posted this girl
this video really lifted me up. thank you for being so raw and open with us🧚🏾♀️💕sending you love and happiness
When your voice broke down... My heart just flinced ... Please dont cry sis.You are not alone. Lots of love💗😞
Very blessed to have come across your channel and watched this video girl fr❤️🩹your a healer💕
Good for you. Are you still alive. I have been in this battle for years. I feel you. I hate myself. And I do not know you but I care. Some times self care is just functioning.
My depression hair get so bad. I used to wash/detangle it once a day or at least once every few days. I have African American hair, they say not to do it that often but my hair will literally become matted if I don’t detangle it. Now I’ve been doing it like once a month or even longer. It sucks, my hair is so tangled and it every time it takes like an hour to detangle it. Ugh, I wish I could get on top of my hair. I think I’m just gonna get extensions so I don’t have to worry about my hair underneath until I take them out
No need to apologize for being depressing when you are filming a video about depression?! Also thank you, it made me feel a bit better today ❤
I have a similar name to yours and I think I have the same hairbrush as you! This vid is very sweet to watch, ty for posting
As a guy, this is legit so helpful for me
EVERYBODY, SHARE THIS VIDEO!!!!! SHE NEEDS MORE SUBSCRIBERS! ⚠⚠⚠⚠
when my mental health is at my lowest, i overeat, oversleep, dont brush, dont shower, its hard man :(
You're a real one, I relate so much to this. I'm crying with you, please hang in there.
i cried with you. you are such a good friend ❤️
I always wonder why people with depression have such happy playful ways sometimes like I can’t explain I know a young man that males people laugh and I make people laugh very few really know me I’m quite person stay to myself mostly I don’t know why iv been on antidepressants since 16 now I’m 47. If i don’t take my meds I feel like I can’t function sad I know iv tried so Many times to stop taking them because I want to be off them but I can’t now. But yea it’s weird but I pray allot that helps me
Thank you for this video, I could relate to it and it feels nice knowing you're not alone ❤️, I hope you feel better soon, and I'm just going to say I think you deserve way more subscribers-- you are such a kind soul
You are so beautiful!!! Inside and out!!! 💖 You have such gorgeous hair and a beautiful face!! Be kinder to yourself!! You are doing your best, that’s all you can do!! 😌 I know a compliment goes a long way 💛 I hope you are doing great!!! ✨🎉
THANK YOU SO MUCH GIRL I NEEDED THIS 🥺🥺🥺
thank you for this. made my day ♥️🥺
I did a search for "can't shower, get out of bed, severe depression" and found this video. I wonder how you are now? At around the 20:00 mark a guy (boyfriend?) gets into bed with you and I have no idea who it is, but there's no way in hell I'd cope with that. No man I know wouldn't turn that kind, caring, soft touch into a 'poke in the back' (if you know what I mean). I'd be tense the whole time, and be listening for their change in breathing and that switch into the focus on their own 'needs'. If there was any self care going on it wouldn't be mine.
I'm only 2 min in but I just want to thank you for putting this up 😢
You are so so beautiful. Thank you for being vulnerable 💕
Yes this is 3 years old I hope ur in a better place … I am struggling bad to even get up r sun my hair n shower some days
