    This was a hard video for me to film - not because I am embarrassed to talk about mental health or feel influenced by stigma, but because some days feel shitty and I hate crying on camera but hi! Depression (and other disorders) affect ALL of us in different ways and no one's experience will be identical. Mental health is not a competition. Let's all find a way to relate to each other & offer support without being competitive or discouraging. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, suicidal....there IS hope and there ARE ways for you cope. The first step is taking control of your health and working to find solutions (they exist). ❤️

      Julia, this is wonderful. I think a big problem for many of us is the people we look up to on social media always seem so perfect. And so we strive to be so perfect, forgetting that we are human. So you posting this is not only brave but it is so helpful. Ugh I wish I could just speak to you in person because you touch on all the right things. Especially regarding death and darkness. It almost feels like you are speaking from my mind. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and it has been quite a ride. I also feel guilty quite often because I have a WONDERFUL family and still struggle. In September I’ll be walking for suicide prevention. And I’m so excited to be surrounded by people who have been through what I’ve been through. The support is surreal. I definitely encourage you to check it out. It’s actually not too far from Baltimore! AFSP.donordrive.com/participant/1960113
      P.S. I love you.

You are beautiful and meant to walk this earth for a long time. Stay strong, lovely ❤

    Somebody somewhere needed this! Sometimes hearing someone else is dealing with the same things you are is therapeutic...like you aren't alone in the"struggle"! Everybody wants to be so strong all the time and feel showing emotions/vulnerability is a sign of weakness...its not! The world says "suck it up, walk it off" but I can only imagine its easier said than done! In a way its therapeutic also for you! Sometimes just talking it out helps! Those of us with empathy and compassion, we are here for it all...ASMR...Your trips around the world...the Pole...and even those not so good days!!💕

    I was exposed to death at a really young age as well. My little brother died when I was 14. I have struggled for years with anxiety because of it and have an extreme fear of death too. It can be crippling some days. I’m always worried about losing the people I love and it’s always in the back of my head.
    Hang in there. You’re not alone in this struggle 💕

    I feel this so deeply. I stay up at night sometimes fearing death, not for myself but for those I love. Sometimes I dwell on it more than other times but it usually hits me at night. I think I've also experienced some sort of panic attack but I never know how to explain it to people and it just makes me frustrated so I just don't talk about it.

    Since like the age of 8, i've been haunted by the thought of death. I feel that i have allowed it to transform into alternative forms that have inhibited my life experience. And as i've grown older, i've become infatuated, obsessed with attempting to process and understand Death. It's so intangible and unfathomable. At times, i feel like i'm about to pass out, pondering this unknown...so, i can relate on that point.
    P.s. are you into Stoicism?

    This week has been hard for me as well. I suffered from depression for 8 years and had it under control. I found out I was 23 weeks pregnant in November and my baby’s father is very unsupportive. However, my baby was a joyous thing. I was super excited to be a mom, but postpartum depression is no joke. Thank you for talking about your feelings and not making mental illness seen as a taboo thing.

    I’m sorry for your loss, there’s no telling how we react to those kinds of things. The type of stuff you’re speaking on re:death seems similar to some existential dread stuff I am still working through, and it especially happens at night when I haven’t had enough sleep. I hope you don’t feel guilty, regardless of who you still have in your life, what you’re feeling is real and you don’t have to shrink that because you’re “supposed” to be grateful.
    Anyway, thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. You deserve joy, your success, and to feel free to sort through whatever emotions you’re going through no matter what. 💕

I lost close family members to accidents and i can say i haven't been the same person ever since. Sorry for the long rant but thank you 🙏

Me, i do best with both having a pretty wicked anxiety disorder that i too have had since childhood. The best advice i ever received is that we only have today. The past is gone and the future doesn’t exist. Only the present moment, and thats all that we have control over. Thank you for sharing your journey and getting the word out that its ok to feel the way you feel ❤️❤️

It's something that he'll probably always have, can get triggered at any moment, but he has learned on how to handle it plus he has our support.
    You're on the right track. There will be bad days but they aren't forever and understanding it's a process can make it seem less scary. Your story is inspiring. Keep it up! 🤗

    Thank you, Julia!! Thanks for sharing! I've been taking meds for several months cause I had the worst anxiety in my life. Or I'd rather say - the only anxiety...I've never had this happen before. I was so weird, so lost, so absent-minded, I even got into a little car accident cause of that, I was not here, but somewhere else...Now I feel waaaay better, I accepted everything what happened to me. And every time I feel like I need to refresh my mind - I take my dog and we go for a walk. As you said - around the block, or around the house. It really helps :) Take care!!! You're amazing!

    Wow I’ve never seen/heard anyone feel how I feel. I have this same fear or anxiety of losing people close to me. It also comes up at night and keeps me from sleeping. It’s almost never about my own death, and always about how I feel completely hopeless and unable to cope with the inevitable loss of loved ones. I think about it ALL the time and what makes it worse is that I also believe that your thoughts have the power to become reality so I’m constantly fighting with myself to stop thinking about it and end up dwelling on it more. It’s an awful cycle.

    • @itsblitzzz

  • @mosmicke
    @mosmicke 5 лет назад +5

    Hey Julia. I know death and pushing away your feelings about it. It's not easy and it the f***Ing worst. It's a very human reaction. Grief isn't in itself unique for humans but it comes together the kind of relationships that we as generally intelligent animals form.
    Speaking of imposter syndrome. It happens to most of us from time to time. And I choose to think of it as an anti douch filter.
    In my view, imposter syndrome is just your natural, humble and grounded counter measure to hubris. It feels awful, but it's better feeling awful while remaining a wonderful person than becoming an awful person remaining feeling wonderful!
    You are a wonderful person Julia, and don't forget that even when life throws you a turd. Wash that s**t off, flip it the bird and walk strong! And if therapy is your means to walk strong, do it!
    Edit: also, I totally resemble myself in the depression seesaw. 3 days a week I'm feeling great. I'm happy with work, with my SO, with my life, my wardrobe, my car and so on. And 3 days a week I'm considering ending it all because why the F not.. Ultimately it's curiosity, contrary the cat, that keeps me alive! I couldn't live with myself (pardon the pun) if I ended my life early as I'm so curious about what's to come!

    I have PTSD and severe depression. Your videos have helped me relax. I trust you to be gentle with me when I'm in the vulnerable state of letting go to fall asleep. You are graceful, tender and intuitive. We care for you because you understand.
    Sometimes to interrupt the cycle of thoughts you need to get away from everything with complete physical relaxation. Sleep whether induced or natural is ok. A diazepam for one of scenarios is very helpful to me.
    I am in therapy about fear of death, etc. My worries about death stemmed from my fear of punishment by God for my earlier life. I have had a breakthrough. I wish you the same. You are very helpful to me. Thank you.

I realized my grand mother will die one day and I was not ready to process it.... but when my grand mother had a cancer and was on final stage there I handled it better. I don't know what happened but my mourning fekt way smoother... maybe I was just... ready

    Thank you for sharing part of yourself that is very difficult to do. Know that speaking your truth about your depression is reaching an audience in need to relate to someone. I know that I watch your videos because you are real and honest in every aspect of your life. I hope that you continue to cope and find peace with the struggles you are dealing with❤️

    Death is a part of life and its something you haven't came to term yet. But it's okay. Like you said getting out of bed is a step and also a conquer to the next hour of just doing something else thru out the day. You are fine ....OWN IT ! (That's what I tell my self)

    Oh, Julia. I don't really know what to say, except that I can tell you're in a great deal of emotional pain. I hope this isn't a dumb suggestion, but have you ever considered writing about death, as a way to cope? You could write about your fear of death, or anything pertaining to death if it would help you. I'm reminded of the author Stephen King. He was apparently traumatized by death from an early age, and it influenced all his writing. I was also exposed to death at a very early age, and was also traumatized by it. I lose sleep every night worrying about how I'm going to die one day.

    Julia! I haven't experienced death with anyone I've been very close but something that helped me change my mindset with death was listening to the Ologies podcast episode on Death and Dying. Please check it out! It's incredibly and the guest on the show who works in death and dying also recommends amazing resources as well. ❤️

    I would love to know more avout your relatiinship with death. I have spent years being suicidal and now it is back, I suffer from bpd but my main trait is depression and right now I am going through a rough patch, I have soent the last 10 days in bed crying so I feel your pain.
    Anyway I have a weird relationship with death but unlike you it is a positive one. I find it fascinating in a society that has tried to keep us away from it, most people have never seen more than one or two corpses in real life (meaning not at the wake, a raw corpse) and to me they are calming. I have worked as an embalmer and it brought me peaace.
    I think if we had a closer relationship with death and chose to clothe and spend some time with our loved ones when they die instead of just throwing them to the funeral industry (which is horrible trust me I know) and could bury them ourselves we would not have any issues with death... At least not that many. I know your case is different but I just say we have to embrace death because it is there and 100% of people end up dying so I dont get why ppl are scared of it.
    I am scared ofkilling myself bc that would hurt the very few that care a bit about me but death itself sometimes feels too appealing and that is scary af

    Im glad you made this video and got out your feelings because i think it is what sets you on the road to feeling better.I had the kind of day your discribing today to and found myself sobbing in the shower and the whole day feeling like doom and gloom.I was lucky today to have one person listen to what i had to say until i was done and it was all out,he did not interupt me he just listened and also reminded me of good things and things i wanted to do in the future and somehow talking about positive plans for the future helped me get out of my funk.I Hope for you that you take time to care for yourself and know everything you described is so normal and i would never judge you for any part of it.Sending hugs and positive energy your way my dear😊👍Take care

    @ninaflores1034 5 лет назад +1

    I am sorry your struggle with death that is very much a part of life cycle.
    Your very afraid, sad and it’s very natural for you to have that feeling of fear, the fear of losing someone you love, your think it’s totally natural to question why we are on this earth to live and die, there are lots of books that help and I guess give you hope for what our true meaning is here on earth... I am not going to get all cheesy and Godly .. but I feel that feeling you have is very deep and it’s spiritual not mental, that’s why a therapist does not help. A spiritualist can help you understand what happens after life, a deep understanding so that it helps you ease your mind especially at night.

    I wanted to thank you for being so real. This video particularly helped me a lot because of the progress you made throughout the day. You showed me that even when you feel sad or depressed it is possible to do stuff and maybe change that feeling. I've been having cero energy lately and sometimes my day starts at lunchtime, which makes it worse because then I'm not as productive as always. But this made me think "ok, tomorrow i should try this!" and I already set my alarm clock. You really motivated me. I'm sorry for my shitty English. I'm from Argentina and I this your content is great. ❤

    I started commenting on your videos recently because you are the only youtuber I keep coming back to. I really dont watch anyone else. I think it's your poise, your genuineness, and what seems like determination to truly make this world a better place. You are never negative, or pompous, or self righteous. I saw a nasty comment from some girl basically saying those things about you and I laughed and thought what an idiot. I havent seen any negative comments before though. I have a feeling you dont get too many.. is that true??

    its so true that doctors should start prescribing exercise and meditation. Ive struggled with my physical and mental health for so long and i never started feeling better until i started working out and mediating and taking vitamins, minerals and herbs. I think the natural path should be tried before going forward with pharmaceuticals. I know that those are necessary for some people but the natural path should be talked about more.

    I completely connected to what you said at 1:53. Unfortunately the virus that causes mono won't go dormant in my body so I've been living with little to no energy for the past 7 years and it sends me into a state of depression that almost no one understands. They can't understand how being "tired" would make someone depressed. I appreciate you being so honest with your viewers. I've truly enjoyed discovering your channel recently, and I feel you are so easy for me to relate to in so many ways. I'm sending lots of positivity your way. I hope you feel better and get back on the path you want to be on.

    I really recommend you read “Life After Life” by Dr.Raymond Moody. It really changed my view on death and has settled my uneasiness towards it. It’s a collection of people’s owns stories that have been pronounced clinically dead for a certain amount of time and all of their stories, no matter what their age, culture, or religious views were all similar. These interviews were all taken place decades apart too... it’s so intriguing and comforting to read honestly.

Name 5 things that make you happy try and feel them. Try it now... Focus on the light. My mind falls into the trap of darkness too and lately I have been realizing how much time I have spent dwelling are darkness when there is so much light around. So sorry for the trauma around death. Young loss will definitely imprint on a young mind. Take care and enjoy the boundless freedom of exploring these emotions. So talented, smart, wise, and intuitive. See your light. Much love...
