Thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us, it helps more than you know. I've been going through it lately so I can't tell you how much I appreciate you ❤
As a long time viewer, it makes me so happy to see that you have grown so much and have finally found systems that work for you to manage your mental health!! It also gives me hope that I am able to manage my own life a little better by following some of your advice. I'm so proud of you! Having my 4 cats and boyfriend gives me a purpose to better myself. I love my little family and I love supporting them in any way I can. I think it's my turn to lean on them a little more and find ways to heal. Thank you for sharing your story with us 🥰
I love this format of filming, and I totally understand how having a pet can save your life. My dog, Leonard, is my entire world and I would be dead without him. He gives me a reason to keep breathing every single day. I also love the idea of writing everything you did down instead of what needs to be done and I think I might try that. Thank you Reese
As someone who grew up watching lifestyle videos, I always felt discouraged and overwhelmed because they were unrealistic for me (due to disability, mental health, and the resulting fatigue). I really appreciate you being so open and honest, especially about your mental health. It’s refreshing to see videos I can actually relate to and with realistic advice and day-to-day routines. Also fellow PMDD girl here, they really need to teach us more about this kind of thing in school!! I had no idea what it was when I was first diagnosed, but treating it (and just being aware of it) has made such a huge difference in my life.
Also if you want to go the free route - see if In The Flo is at your local library, or on your library's Libby! I just looked and my library has it so I put it on hold to pick up next time I'm there :)
Omg the hair part, I totally feel that 🥺 On days when I'm super depressed and don't feel like getting ready I just put my hair in a high bun, wash my face, no make up, and enjoy a walk that generelly makes me feel a little better. We deserve to enjoy small things even on our worst days ❤️
I absolutely loved this style of video! Watching you do your cleaning vids and even just your calm going through a regular day has often motivated me to get my work done and do those daily chores that I've been needing to do. You've helped me tremendously and I'm so glad to see you in a happier place dong the things you enjoy! Keep it up girl!
I loved this video and how honest you were in it! Thank you for always sharing about your mental health journey and giving us a safe space to talk about our own stories.
As a regular viewer, I absolutely love watching your videos esp about mental health.. it truly makes me feel like I’m not alone. I also have PMDD so I felt the struggle, thank you for sharing your experience. Sending you love and hugs❤️🥺
This is such a great video, I'd totally benefit from these tips. Especially thought-stopping. Sometimes I literally just forget to do it and then it spirals out of control. Gotta keep reminding myself to recognize the negative thoughts and put a stop to them
I been mental and physical drained. Everything you talked about I have too! this video helped me sooo much! thank you so much! On the road to a healthy life:)
Hiii! Something that makes me feel happier and healthier is my twist on journaling! Something I learned in therapy is that I SUCK at journaling. BUT I make a crap ton of lists all the time. So I journal in the form of list making. I also love to clean and organize and bake, specifically bread. Thank you for making such relatable and amazing content! It’s not easy sharing your life with the world, I’m sure. You’re wonderful and I adore you!
@@roxalanab1365 yeah! So I usually keep all my lists in one book because it’s just a great way to keep all those racing thoughts together! For example, instead of writing out in paragraphs why I’m anxious, annoyed, upset, etc. I title the list “things that annoyed me today” and then I list those things. Sometimes I find certain things come out that I wasn’t expecting or didn’t think annoyed me. Another example, I title the list “why am I so angry right now” and then I list all the reasons I can think of and in turn I end up finding out things I wasn’t aware that I was angry about. In conjunction with those kinds of lists, I also write counter lists to the negative ones. “How can I let go of this anger” or better yet “what can I do right now to help me feel better?” “What’s something that used to work in the past to help with my anxiety?” I’ve found that writing lists like this with 1) the negative thoughts and then 2) the positive actions I can take, has helped me understand what i deal with on a day to day basis and that helps me in the overall process! I hope this made sense! 😅
Favorite video you've made in awhile! I'm so glad you've found what helps you and it's been great as a long time subscriber to see you posting so consistently for so long because you feel better ❤
thank you so much for talking about money, I knew about the kind of negative self talk manifesting but I never related it to negative talk about money. It's such an easy thing to constantly say 'I'm so broke' without thinking about the consequences of talking negatively, thanks for the reminder to reframe those thoughts no matter where they come up in life!
I’ve been doing reverse to-do lists for the last 11 years and growing up, my mom always got SO mad as me because she thought I wasn’t holding myself accountable for what needed to be done. However, doing that always made me get WAY more done than having a regular to do list and I always felt such a larger sense of accomplishment. I love this, I had no clue other people did it!
This video is great thank you so much for being so open with everything. I’m going through that weird phase of not knowing who I am and healing etc. my period has been harshhhh so I’m going to try cycle syncing! You’ve helped so much and got me into journaling which has helped so much and the to do list to plan out and not be so overwhelmed thank you!!❤❤
struggle has been the name of the game lately so this video helped a lot, ty 💜 also these are all the very exact things that help me minus the pets bc i don't have any, but even watching pet videos or hearing my friends talk about theirs really comforts me
REESE THANK YOU! I have been watching you since just before you went to college. I was diagnosed with PMDD back in 2016 and I have never seen a creator that also has PMDD. You have literally helped me in my life so much and thank you for that.
i’ve never commented before but i’ve been following since the high school videos. we’re around the same age and i feel like i’ve grown up with you, and i just cannot express how proud i am to see how much better you’re doing ❤
REESE! I’ve never commented but wow this video was amazing. Would love to hear you talk more about your experience with cycle syncing. I suffer with horrific symptoms during menstruation and am always interested in hearing peoples experience to get inspired about what things to try out to ease my own symptoms. Thank you for your content always ❤️
I had really painful periods, hormonal acne, and significant increase in depression/suicidal thoughts around my period. My doctor recommended balancing the testosterone in my body as the signs told us that is what I had in excess. I took a supplement with extracts of cruciferous vegetables and it really helped my symptoms, without using birth control. You can also focus on eating certain foods rather than taking a supplement like Reese talked about in this video. For me that would be cruciferous veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts,cauliflower etc
your videos have been such comfort and inspo for me because I’ve been coming out of an episode and seeing you do all these things inspire me to do more. It reminds me of what living life can actually feel like, depression often rids me of that joy but I know I’m capable. I’ve been rewatching ur old videos too and it just comforts me knowing I’m not alone experiencing this and trying to get better. thank you for sharing your journey with us reese lots of love, you are a kind and strong soul
So validating to hear someone say No amount of positive thinking can help a chemical imbalance! I started antidepressants 3 months ago and it makes it so much easier to think positive now! 😂
Reese! Thank you for destigmatizing mental health and taking medication if you need it. One mindful habit that I've adopted over the years is to pick a tree or plant that I see often and each time I see it, I observe how it has changed since the last time I saw it. Paying attention to the changing seasons helps me feel more connected to the earth and the 🌟passing of time 🌟rather than being stuck in my head. Love your content and can't wait to see more!! 💗💗
Hey Reese I feel like we’re been on this journey with mental health together!! Watching your videos made me feel like I wasn’t alone, and I’m also doing a lot better now :) it’s possibly just seasonal depression vibes, but still has been nice. Thanks for posting and being my internet bestie!!!
Thank you so much for saying this!!! I’m so sick of these videos saying “wake up earlier. Drink water. Eat healthy.” Like no, sometimes it’s a chemical imbalance !!!! And medicine is the only thing that will change it!!!!
the part when you said you have specific uniform like "i dont wanna feel garbage and also i dont wanna get dressed" I call them my "depression outfits" I ahve a couple of long sleeve or 3/4ths cut striped shirts. covered enough to get my shit together without other people looking at me. also not boring like normal t shirts. at the same time dark as my soul on those periods. absolute game changer. also told my co workers about them and they know immediately how to interact with me that day. less brain activities for interactions
This video is my treat after spending the morning cooking for and caring for my mom, who is recovering from foot surgery. ❤ This is my “me time” for today. 😊😊
Hey beautiful!! I just found your channel in a low point of my journey, and hearing you speak so gently and honestly about everything really made me feel better. In the wellness space, there is such a pressure to be perfect and on grind all the time, when mental health doesn't always allow that. So really thank you so much Im sorry for writing so much :,)
Reese you never fails to bring me smile with your vlogs and I can't say how much I am happy you are my inspiration and I wish you have a best Sunday😁💖💫
I don’t have any idea how much this video helped me! So far this is my favorite video from your channel!! I love all the things you shared in this video ❤
i’m glad you’re doing a little better reese, i hope it continues. :-) i hope i feel like getting back to the things that help me feel better soon, i loved this video! also i totally have a uniform too lmfao, specifically for doctors appointments
I absolutely loved this video; I didn't realise how much I needed to see it! Thank you for being so open and helpful about topics which are really difficult to talk about sometimes. New subscriber here! :) ❤
Thank you so much for sharing. I really like your videos cause you have kinda like a familiar vibe to me and it makes me feel good. Also, you are so prettyyy❤
Ok can you PLZ share the pumpkin bread recepy? Watching you make it makes me crave some sugary food rn! Whenever I'm feeling down going outside to my cycling class or even a walk really helps. Achieving little things is so valuable somedays! Thanks for pouring your heart out Reese 🥰
I forgot to take my ADHD meds today and I feel horrible. I can't believe I forgot but I'm trying to treat myself with more kindness and start again tomorrow. Thank you for this video, it made me feel better
Omg omg omg please do more about PMDD… I TRY SO HARD + on top of depression I’ve adhd & pre period for some dumb reason stops the meds working but why is it so hard to be diagnosed everyone just thinks ur dramatic 😭😭
It’s the rebellious side of me but the idea of living by your cycle upsets me (on just a personal level). It’s just sadly unfair we can’t do whatever we want whenever we want because that’s nature. Sigh, but I totally get the benefits of it I’m just stubborn and contrary haha so many unfair stuff towards women. Also another super relatable video as always! Especially the being creative but never acting on it part. I wonder what it is… depression?
Thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us, it helps more than you know. I've been going through it lately so I can't tell you how much I appreciate you ❤
I totally agree. I'm dealing with a lot of mental health issues lately but this video has given me hope ❤
"That one's not coming back" followed by watering the plant cracked me up so bad.
In the same way Zoe and Miso deserve the best lives possible, so do you Reese ❤ and anyone reading this!

"just start the creative impulse" is what I really needed to hear today thank you ♥️
Omg the hair part, I totally feel that 🥺 On days when I'm super depressed and don't feel like getting ready I just put my hair in a high bun, wash my face, no make up, and enjoy a walk that generelly makes me feel a little better. We deserve to enjoy small things even on our worst days ❤️

Zoe is definitely your soul dog ❤ I've always felt it. And yes, miso is lovely too.
Girl I have PMDD! Thank you so much for bringing awareness. I’m so sorry you experience this too. ❤

Thank you for this video
yes!! i don’t have caffeine the week before my period per the cycle syncing recommendations and i hate to admit that it helps but it does😭
Favorite video you've made in awhile! I'm so glad you've found what helps you and it's been great as a long time subscriber to see you posting so consistently for so long because you feel better ❤
Thank you for bringing awareness to pmdd! It helps knowing that others feel as low as i can during that time and we’re not crazy.
I saw the secret question, what makes me happy is my manga collection and sharing food with people.
thank you so much for talking about money, I knew about the kind of negative self talk manifesting but I never related it to negative talk about money.

Great video, thanks Reese 😊
loved this style video!
You’re so inspiring 🤍🤍
I hollered when you watered that dead plant bc that’s literally how life is lmao
"a freshly baked warm loaf of pumpkin bread... what else does a girl need besides some Prozac?" if this is not the best quote i don't know what is
I loved this video!! the format of you just talking and going about your day was so nice and chill. 🩷🩷🩷

I love you, Reese. That's all. Tnx
Same girl I hate running too😅
I really don't get why people run! Half a block and I feel dead inside 😂😂
@@GittaSprouse1 like honestly
I'm on anti depressent for years but if I don't take it regularly my moods will change. And I not myself
I don't mind watching you talk for HOURS
Can you do a video on PMDD?? I was recently diagnosed and I wanna know how you deal with it
Something to note that not a lot of people talk about but you can't exactly cycle sync when you're on the birth control pill
that’s very true! i have to do more research into cycle syncing while you’re on BC (i’m not on it so i haven’t looked into it)
🪬 all good vibes
