Trina, we are your followers, fans, and online friends. We understand, we care, we always wish you the best. If you need time, take time, if you need support, we are there for you. I'm so glad you have such a wonderful support network in Adam and his family. Let them help, understand that everyone needs help sometimes in many ways. Take care, do what you need to do. Love you, girl. You are strong enough to get through this darker time, and brighter times are ahead. Take care x
Thank you so much Ember, this honestly means so much to hear! I will forever be grateful for the love, support and kindness that I receive from my viewers! 💕Sending love your way!! xx
You have done an incredible job of describing the many facets of depression. Please be as kind and patient with yourself as you are with others in your life.
I had a catastrophic breakdown in 2008 and knew ide hit rock bottom when I crawled along the corridors of my local hospital begging for help. Saying this sounds ridiculous but it was desperation. After that I got help, that help saved my life. My mind had already started making other plans …………. My life is now good. I still have ups and downs but it’s manageable. All this started for no reason. There doesn’t need to be a reason. Thankyou for taking the time to read this x
So proud of you! The fact that you recognized there was a problem is amazing. Self care is important. Your followers understand. We all hide when we are not happy. Love your transparency. Take time to get well.
I know you feel vulnerable but asking for help and sharing this is *so* brave. And you don’t know how many people you may be helping and giving the courage to do this themselves. Big hugs. Take care of yourself.
Trina, take as much time as you need. Many of us have been through or are going through what you are so we all understand. We will all be here waiting for you when you are ready to film. And congrats on the house, so exciting!! Xx
Your videos (especially the ones where you talk about yourself) have really affected me positively during episodes of depression because you are such a wholesome person. So I will take this opportunity to say thank you so much ❤️ And I wanted to tell you that my heart hurts for you that you have to go through these difficult phases. And thank you for sharing these things so openly. I wish you copious amounts of self-love and grace for yourself.
Thank you for being so open with us. Depression is crippling to our mind,body and spirit. I have delt with that for yrs along with anxiety. It takes time to get better I now relax in take one day at a time I'm 58yrs old and know that God won't give us more than we can handle. I lost my late husband 4yrs ago and gave my heart to god. Yes I agree with you we are people pleasures before taking care of ourselves. Please don't give up take care and love you forever.
Thank you for your honesty. Be kind to yourself, be compassionate with yourself. As someone who is on medication, and continues with therapy, you are taking incredibly important steps in a recognising what you are feeling and seeking help. I hope you find the right balance for yourself on this journey and know that you are very much loved and appreciated by everyone.
Hi Trina, I'm really proud of you for opening up about what you are dealing with, it's SO important and needed, especially in the current times. I have had many mental health issues my whole adult life and I promise you, treating yourself much harsher than you would ever treat another human with the same issues is very very natural. We always believe we are the exceptions to the rule, and honestly if we had the ability to stop that kind of negative self talk, mental health issues would decrease quite a bit. I love that Adam got you such a lovely heartfelt gift - I think Beary is awesome and its not remotely childish, if it brings you any joy at all, cling to it. Same goes with anything else you do for self care and comfort. I think having things like that is soothing to our inner child and I firmly believe you should do what you have got to do to get through it, as long as you arent harming yourself or anyone else. I am terrible with communication and the worse my mental state gets, the worse I get with contacting literally anyone. I feel really guilty but it's like I am mentally paralysed. Those who matter won't mind the lack of communication :) take the time you need, youtube will always be here and we all just want you to be well. It's good you are on a waiting list for some therapy and medication for depression is just as valid as taking medication for physical health... would you feel ashamed to take medication to regulate your blood pressue? Congratulations on the house! That is really exciting news! I would love to see house content, I like things like that! Overall, just try to be kind to yourself and take the time you need, and keep talking about it if you feel able to
Take care my lovely, depression hit me when the menopause started. I eventually went to the dr who put me on medication. I was reluctant at first until a friend said to me “what would you do if you broke your leg?” Get it fixed I said. “That is what the medication will do for your mood” and she was right, it was a great way to analyse it for me. My dose was increased a couple of times until they reached a level where normality resumed, it will happen. In the meantime all your RUclips family will be here for you. XX 🥰💖🌈
Hi 👋 Trina-louise ,I am 62 and mum of 4 grown daughters and 2 grandsons 😊 I understand how u feel when talking. When I interact with anyone I try to speak slow and calm,but end up babbling I can actually hear myself but my anxiety is real. Don't feel childish about soft bears etc I go to bed hugging a elephant toy 🤗 I'm a new subscriber. But don't feel u have to reply no need. Take care and big hug 🤗 please never hate yourself for anything. Your beautiful and have a lovely personality.
Be kind to yourself Trina Louise. I am on medication for anxiety, so just remember we don’t judge you on how often you post or not post. We are your friends and we will be here to support you and your channel whenever you feel well enough to post lovely. Having a garden will make things so much better for you when you have been shielding for so long. Sending you a massive hug. Take care ❤️🌻
Thank you for sharing Trina, it was very brave of you. I don't know why but I feel really fond of you and this video is very relatable. Hope you feel better soon x
As a fellow depression sufferer and fellow plus RUclipsr I fully hear ya girl and well done you for speaking up. It’s hard putting yourself out there when we have low days. Just do your best girl, we will all still be here when you are ready. Please don’t beat yourself up, take care of yourself first and you’ll come back stronger. And congrats on the new house. So happy for you both xx
Why not make a separate channel where you can share the house stuff. So much you could talk about as you guys go through the process but also after. Would be fab
You are definitely not alone beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling as I know how difficult that can be. Thank you for being so open and honest with us. Mental health definitely needs to be discussed much more openly and I love that you've been able to share with us. I've suffered from depression and anxiety for the last 2 years very badly and recently diagnosed with PTSD. Please be kind to yourself and take the time you need to look after yourself. We'll still be here. Sending you all the love and light your way ❤️❤️💫 xxxxx
Everyone needs a break sometimes. You are a lovely person and I really enjoy your interactions on RUclips. If you do a packing/moving video, I'll watch it!!
Trina, I loved the teddy bear part of your story. Never feel like something like that is childish. We do what we need to in order to get through this life, no matter how silly it may seem to some. My thing is balloons. I love balloons. If I’ve had a bad day or if I accomplished something that I’m proud of, I buy myself a balloon - just one of the small ones on a plastic stick that are a dollar or two. I have one in the pen cup on my desk right now. Take care of yourself. Your online friends will be here when there’s many videos and when there are few. Blessings to you and your family. 💚
So understand I've been off and on meds for anxiety and depression... its hard to accept that you need that help sometimes. 🧡 that you are being so open about your mental health
I really respect you for sharing something so personal. It had to be difficult. Adam is a jewel and what a great relationship where you both are so supportive of each other. Congratulations on your new house!
I myself struggle with depression and anxiety and have done for some time now. I thought taking medication meant I have failed to start with. But trust me it is a long process that takes time and lots of self care. I also have a favourite teddy called Barty. He keeps me calm and relaxed when I need him most. So if a teddy comforts you go for it. You are not alone. You are doing amazing. Just keep believing in you because you are amazing. Xx
You are loved and understood. Everything you do should be for you first. Anything you give after that is a gift. We’re lucky you share any part of yourself with us. We all know life is complicated and we understand. I look forward to seeing you whenever you’re here and I hope that you are happy and taking care of yourself when you’re not here. Congratulations on your house, I’ll be watching if you share. Who doesn’t live a Trina ramble?
Thhankyoufor your courageous vlog.I so understand low mood,lack of motivation,and unable to get out of bed or off sofa in my case.I have had mental health issues since 18yrs old maybe before so now its been 33yrs and now I'm starting to work in support groups currently as an art and craft co ordinator. Take your time one, small step at a time and don't judge yourself about taking meds whatever helps you gradually in this situation. Congrats on the house buying and mood I am excited to see it vlogged but take your time work at the pace you need too and take those breaks and if you don't make one at a certain time its not a big deal don't let yourself become frustrated. Things will get better as everything changes in Time.xx
Hi lovely 😊, Please stop punishing yourself, i am a sufferer of depression myself and completely feel your anguish. It’s taken me along time to get to the place I’m in now, and sometimes it feels like one step forward and two back. It takes a strong person in my opinion to ask for help, we could all put a brave face on but why live a false life . The most important thing at the moment is listen to what your body is telling you, even though things are frantic in your mind at present your body will tell you, “ITS TIME TO TAKE A BRAKE’ time to put yourself first. I’m so passionate about this subject, it effects so many people in my life including my youngest son. Just know your not alone sweetheart sending lots of love 💕
So courageous of you for speaking out about this. I work in mental health and it’s 100% true that half the time we would never talk to someone else in the same way we talk/judge ourselves. It’s the inner critic creeping in and challenging it and being more compassionate/kinder to yourself is the 100% right thing to do. You need to look after yourself as you are “number 1”. Unfortunately GP’s seem to give out medication as the waiting lists for psychology is so long! But often the medication can get you in a little bit of a better place, ready to start your therapy in 2 months time. So I may actually be a positive and the 2 work together 👍🏻 Hope you start feeling more yourself soon, and just do what you feel like doing that day (in terms of RUclips etc, don’t feel pressured because of the “schedule”). Sending lots of love 🥰 xxx
Trina, I was in therapy for years for PTSD and one of the things I learned is that anxiety and depression are linked. My therapist said they feed each other. Don't be embarrassed, medication and definitely cognitive behavioural therapy will help you. Sending you love and healing ❤️
Trina I think you are incredibly brave for opening up. I am so proud of you for seeking the help that you need. Being kind to yourself is the hardest thing in the world. Any of your true supporters will be understanding of you needing time and space to “heal” Keep being your wonderful self and know we all stand with you x
I so admire the way you can openly and coherently talk about this and I hope you know it will positively affect a lot of people including me. Thank you 😊💓 I hope you get on well with therapy, it's been a game changer for me. Sending you all the positivity I possibly can ❤❤
Keep on taking care of yourself. It's like being on a plane. If the oxygen comes down, put yours on first, then help others with theirs. Your honesty is appreciated. Good luck!
How brave - it’s the hardest part of mental health holding your hand up and admitting ‘this is me’. As you know I work in mental health but that doesn’t make me immune. I started therapy and medication 18 months ago - wham!!!! just as we all start isolating and my workload doubling!!!! My thoughts go out to you Trina xx
I know exactly how you feel, going through it (again) myself at the moment. All you can do is take your time, and please don't worry about your viewers and subscribers. I'm sure they all support you and care about your wellbeing, as I do. Lots of love xx
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have recently been put on antidepressants. We lost my best friend in Feb and since then I have struggled so so much. I have always suffered with anxiety and depression but it flairs up more from time to time. Hopefully you get your medication right soon. Take care of yourself lovely xx
Ive had depression since I was twelve diagnosed I also have friends and family too we've all got trauma etc and all here for you we can relate being your virtual friends I'm sure a lot of us get how you've been feeling lovely don't worry we'll always be here for you too! 👏💖💖💖
First and foremost make sure you take care of yourself. If you need time out, take it. As much as you love YT and we love watching you, you have to prioritise you. We'd rather see you when we can than never see you again. It's lovely to know that you have such amazing support in Adam. Don't be afraid to utilise him to the max! Huge congrats on buying the house too!! Much love and positivity to you 💕
Dear Trina. You did a really good job explaining yourself. Please dont be concerned about your RUclips followers. We'll all still be here. Hope you find an even level that works for you. Moving blogs are everyones faves x
I’m on antidepressants and antipsychotics and I always panic that the chemist will be thinking like “look at this crazy bitch” every time I pick it up, but I’m starting to realise that they don’t care at all, and that medication isn’t a bad thing. I hope you feel comfortable with your medication soon 🖤
You’re going to get this under control. Remember....” This too shall pass..” Keep seeking the help you need. And remember, you are a strong and vital person. That can accomplish anything. Also, you have a loving & supportive partner. Best wishes and thoughts your way!
I’ve been on anti depressants for nearly two years now and struggled with anxiety and depression for around 3 years and struggled with motivation even to get dressed or brush my hair sometimes so I know how hard it can be so I just wanted to say I’m sending you all my love and the biggest of hugs. I’m only ever a message away if you need anything and I’m so happy for you!! Can’t wait to see your house xxx❤️❤️
You have been very honest & we respect that,depression is an awful thing to struggle with,you may have thought you were not explaining yourself very well but in fact you described absolutely what it is like.I’m sure all your followers understand.Don’t feel bad about a reduced output & put all your energy in helping yourself get the right level of medication hand in hand with the therapy.That in itself will be draining but you will get through it.Great news about moving Take care
Hi. I am sorry you have depression. I too have been anxious most of my life. Even as a child. I was scared of my own shadow. Now then,, as you know, the meds can take a good while to kick in so please hang on in there. Regarding therapy. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I hope it is for you. x
From someone that struggles with all of these and more plus being on meds as well. I understand and know where you coming from. I have the same thoughts about myself as well. You are not alone you have all of us behind you as your support💚💚💚💚💚🌈💕🦄🦄🦄
So happy for you and the news of your new house! Definitely want to see the videos. So exciting! Taking care of yourself is top priority! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Very brave video, thank you for sharing, I too suffer with depression and anxiety. Be kind to yourself it's not selfish it's self care. Congrats on the house Take time take care stay safe. Vicky 💞
I’m so sorry to hear that you have been struggling with your MH. I have suffered with depression / panic attacks / anxiety for 25 years now, more recently made worse by physical health problems, so I can fully understand and relate to the feelings you describe and the concerns that go along with it. I am glad to hear that you have been getting support from your GP and also that you have such a caring and understanding partner in Adam. I think that makes all the difference when you have people around to support you and I think that is why I have struggled more because I haven’t had that vital support from anybody. I’m sure all your friends here on RUclips and also Instagram will understand when you need to take some time out but I hope it will also help to know that you have these places to come back to when you feel ready and that they will be a happy focus for you. I hope everything progresses well with the house move and I would definitely love to see lots of videos about it all. Take care X ♥️
So sorry to hear you're struggling, I can absolutely relate to that exhausted feeling, it's so tough. Never feel bad about not replying to messages etc if that's what you need to do, taking care of yourself is most important. Would love to see house /moving content, create what makes you happy 🤗
Thank you for being so honest with us. I wish you all the best. Depression is not an easy road to travel for a lot of us and it’s very hard sometimes to figure out why we feel the way we do so please don’t be so hard on yourself. I hope everything goes well with your new house
I'm sorry you're going through this, Trina. I also have a lot of anxiety and depression stuff and it suuucks. For me, therapy has been a really wonderful and helpful experience. I would definitely love to see new house (congrats!!) content when you have energy/mindset for it. I understand it being hard to reply to people and can see how it would be hard to make content. I really admire how you want to show people that it is ok to not be ok, but it can also be a positive example to show people that can be really important to take a step back and take care of ourselves when we are struggling. You are such a thoughtful and caring person. I hope you feel better soon.
This is a very real video and I appreciate that - you are just like us viewers, a normal person. Hope you can get to a better position soon. Been the same myself, so totally understand . Take care. Xx
I think this happens to most of us at one time or another, and with all that's going on at the moment it's not surprising many of us feel low. I can totally relate to the lack of motivation and enthusiasm for the things you normally love. Not feeling sad isn't the same as being happy is it, it's more of a nothingness, a flat line of emotion with no highs or lows, but it will pass. For now, be kind to yourself and remember that little girl inside you, who loves that teddy bear, needs kind thoughts and a gentle inner dialogue. Don't beat yourself up for not replying to people, or for making less videos, or for taking meds, none of us would want you to do anything you don't feel up to doing. Be kind to yourself! I'd definitely watch your moving house videos by the way, your face lit up talking about it, maybe that's what you need to reignite your passion for filming? Do more of what you love! Feel better soon lovely 💗
Hi trina ,well done on buying your house ,that's so exciting, also on your health you will get there ,one day at a time sweetheart and be kind to yourself ,love watching your vlogs ,and you will feel abit better soon 😊
Bless you I so resonate with how you feel . You are a beautiful lady inside and out . No one could continue to isolate like you and not feel Depressed. Hopefully your new home will give you some focus . I was concerned that maybe you had been getting trolled after your Tv programme . I had noted since then you were quiet .When I see you in the tv I was blown away by how wonderful you were and beautiful. Therefore as you say no reason to feel down. I pray life is good to you and you get back on track . Love your videos ! It’s hard to imagine you down because you always have a gorgeous smile and seem so upbeat . But I know myself we all put an act on we have too !! Just keep smiling and hopefully one day you will feel much more like yourself .Take care big hugs 🤗
Hun I am so sorry for what you are going through. I am always open about my mental health too. After all its nothing to be ashamed of. I am bioplar and rapid cycle which means the ups and the downs people experience for long periods of time one or the other, I experience hourly constantly. Its exhausting to be honest. I am on high dose medication and am not ashamed to say I cannot function without it. If you ever want to talk I am always here. I will always listen and never judge and it will never go any further. Dont listen to the people who say, aww cheer up! or snap out of it! dont they think we want to!. give yourself time and allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling. xxx
I feel ur pain as I experience the same thing. We love u, thank you for sharing this, people tend to not talk about mental health. If u need time take it, u need to care for u we will be here, we r ur friends and we love you & Adam. Congratulations on the new house I would love to see all the house content.❤️🧡💛💚💙
Bless your heart 🥰 being kind to yourself definitely needs to be your number 1 priority at the moment.. we’ll all still be here when you’re ready 😊 sounds like you’ve got great support around you 🤗 and the house sounds amazing! sending lots of love xx
Totally get it! Give yourself time. And take one hour at a time - do stuff when you can, don’t stress when you can’t. The hardest part is not getting frustrated with yourself. Like you said, be patient with yourself, as you would with someone else💜 Congrats on your new house 🏡 Would love to see the moving vids. I love buying and selling and moving😎
Thank you for sharing Trina, I think you will find that 80% of us struggle with mental health but to admit and get help is the main thing. I have not left this house for nearly 18mts which has only been since my Mum passed away. Please keep going and please keep posing. Love from down under xoxo 💋
Thank you for sharing this, I rarely comment but had to say I do appreciated the openness of this video. I am in a similar space with my mental health, had alway had anxiety and lockdown made it worse but I'm now on meds and the everyday panic I was feeling has mostly subsided, but I have zero energy, I work only 4 hours a day cleaning houses and when I get home I have all these plans but they just don't get done. I'm a single parent and have tried to get the kids involved with household chores-I feel like my energy is sucked out by morning routines and work and I just want to sleep the rest of the time. This video has resonated so much I will be ringing the doctor tomorrow, thank you and best wishes xxxx
I have anxiety and depression and PTSD - I understand the struggle, and am so happy you are getting help with it both with medication and therapy - it all helps so much. Take care of yourself, do what you need to do to look after YOU!
There is no shame in depression or asking for help.Because you have been so honest you will have helped others, possibly who were feeling the same.Your true friends and followers will always care about you
I just wish you well, I'm sure you doing this video will help another person as it's so truthful. I'm hoping you are doing ok and look forward to you next video. A huge good luck with the purchase of a house and of course would love to see your journey in moving you take care 😘😘😘
Thank you so much for sharing how you are feeling. Please please don't set too much of a schedule for yourself when you're feeling like this. You need to do you for yourself not for other people. You said exactly what you needed to even with the 'rambling"!! This is all normal you don't need to apologise!! ❤
Congratulations on your buying a house and yes I'd like to see a house move series. Thankyou for this very honest and personal video I think sometimes we are our biggest and most harsh critics, but just know sometimes its o.k not to be o.k and that's life. Its great you've got a good support network and I think Beary is a great fun idea.
Thanks for sharing Trina, your openness takes a lot of courage and will help many others. Look after yourself and don't be hard on yourself. Congrats on the new house, would love to see the house move videos 😊
You take as much time as you need sweetheart we will be here really excited to watch you moving video packing etc I wish you all the best and hope you feel back to yourself soon and I really dont bother if you dont respond just know that I will be here for you whenever you feel ready, take care darling girl ❤❤
You take care of yourself. Yes to house videos. I can understand a little of what you are going through. I have thyroid issues and at the moment I'm going through an unstable time it is either to high or to low. I know it can cause depression and the way things are going in the world at the moment it gets to me. I take one day at a time. So sending you hugs.
Mental health can be a challenge and especially at the moment it can be so hard to see the wood for the trees. Take your time and do what you need to do. Your mental health comes before anything else. I am on medication for anxiety and it has taken me a long time to get my head around needing medication but it is now a part of my daily routine. You will get there. 👍 But just remember it is okay not to be okay.
Hi Trina i am totally agreed with Ember Skye we are here for You in the same way you are for us..i am been following you since your first video, you inspired me in many ways give me reason to be me pick myself up and carry on you inspired me and for that i Wish you get better soon and i know you will ..take care of Trina ..Trina 💪💪
Depression is awful just take the time you need and find out what works best for you be it something that causes a distraction or taking time to yourself to help yourself heal and just know that people will support you if they are true followers, friends , family etc x
Oh lovely, this must have taken so much to film. I’m not very elegant with words but I wanted to send you love & hugs. Also moved into a new build last year, I’ve loved making it our own, bit by bit xxx
Sorry I should have also mentioned my own mental health, anxiety & depression has been a part of my life since I was 15. It is manageable, I promise 💜 also you’d be surprised how many people are on medication xxx
First of all, best wishes to you! I struggle with depression, and I totally get the lack of energy and the instinct to hide away. Secondly, I would love to see your house content! It was so good to see the way you lit up just talking about it.
It took me almost 2 years to get on the right medication. My doctor actually ended up doing a gene test on me to test which medications would work best for me and that helped a lot! I've been going to therapy for several years as well. Its so important to take care of your mental health.
Sweetie don't be so hard on yourself. I've been on medication for depression and anxiety for a long time. It literally saved my life. You are so right about the medications needing adjusting and/or changing. It took a couple of years for me to the exact right combo for me. It's awesome that you can admit to yourself you need help. I am in the US we have some services ie: Dr on Demand, which is tele medicine, perhaps you have something like that in the UK? I am praying for you and don't ever be afraid to ask for help. If you need an ear I am probably old enough to be your mum and I am happy to just listen. Big hugs and to a brighter tomorrow

Dear Trina-Louise, You really don’t have to explain, being like you are at the moment is ok, take a break we are still here waiting for the time you are ready. Great news about the house. At least you have something to look forward to. fx
Trina, we are your followers, fans, and online friends. We understand, we care, we always wish you the best. If you need time, take time, if you need support, we are there for you. I'm so glad you have such a wonderful support network in Adam and his family. Let them help, understand that everyone needs help sometimes in many ways. Take care, do what you need to do. Love you, girl. You are strong enough to get through this darker time, and brighter times are ahead. Take care x
Thank you so much Ember, this honestly means so much to hear! I will forever be grateful for the love, support and kindness that I receive from my viewers! 💕Sending love your way!! xx
You have done an incredible job of describing the many facets of depression. Please be as kind and patient with yourself as you are with others in your life.
I had a catastrophic breakdown in 2008 and knew ide hit rock bottom when I crawled along the corridors of my local hospital begging for help. Saying this sounds ridiculous but it was desperation. After that I got help, that help saved my life. My mind had already started making other plans …………. My life is now good. I still have ups and downs but it’s manageable. All this started for no reason. There doesn’t need to be a reason. Thankyou for taking the time to read this x
So proud of you! The fact that you recognized there was a problem is amazing.
Self care is important. Your followers understand. We all hide when we are not happy. Love your transparency. Take time to get well.
I know you feel vulnerable but asking for help and sharing this is *so* brave. And you don’t know how many people you may be helping and giving the courage to do this themselves. Big hugs. Take care of yourself.
Trina, take as much time as you need. Many of us have been through or are going through what you are so we all understand. We will all be here waiting for you when you are ready to film. And congrats on the house, so exciting!! Xx
Your videos (especially the ones where you talk about yourself) have really affected me positively during episodes of depression because you are such a wholesome person. So I will take this opportunity to say thank you so much ❤️
And I wanted to tell you that my heart hurts for you that you have to go through these difficult phases.
And thank you for sharing these things so openly. I wish you copious amounts of self-love and grace for yourself.
Thank you for being so open with us. Depression is crippling to our mind,body and spirit. I have delt with that for yrs along with anxiety. It takes time to get better I now relax in take one day at a time I'm 58yrs old and know that God won't give us more than we can handle. I lost my late husband 4yrs ago and gave my heart to god. Yes I agree with you we are people pleasures before taking care of ourselves. Please don't give up take care and love you forever.
Thank you for your honesty. Be kind to yourself, be compassionate with yourself. As someone who is on medication, and continues with therapy, you are taking incredibly important steps in a recognising what you are feeling and seeking help. I hope you find the right balance for yourself on this journey and know that you are very much loved and appreciated by everyone.
Hi Trina, I'm really proud of you for opening up about what you are dealing with, it's SO important and needed, especially in the current times. I have had many mental health issues my whole adult life and I promise you, treating yourself much harsher than you would ever treat another human with the same issues is very very natural. We always believe we are the exceptions to the rule, and honestly if we had the ability to stop that kind of negative self talk, mental health issues would decrease quite a bit.
I love that Adam got you such a lovely heartfelt gift - I think Beary is awesome and its not remotely childish, if it brings you any joy at all, cling to it. Same goes with anything else you do for self care and comfort. I think having things like that is soothing to our inner child and I firmly believe you should do what you have got to do to get through it, as long as you arent harming yourself or anyone else.
I am terrible with communication and the worse my mental state gets, the worse I get with contacting literally anyone. I feel really guilty but it's like I am mentally paralysed. Those who matter won't mind the lack of communication :) take the time you need, youtube will always be here and we all just want you to be well. It's good you are on a waiting list for some therapy and medication for depression is just as valid as taking medication for physical health... would you feel ashamed to take medication to regulate your blood pressue?
Congratulations on the house! That is really exciting news! I would love to see house content, I like things like that!
Overall, just try to be kind to yourself and take the time you need, and keep talking about it if you feel able to
Take care my lovely, depression hit me when the menopause started. I eventually went to the dr who put me on medication. I was reluctant at first until a friend said to me “what would you do if you broke your leg?” Get it fixed I said. “That is what the medication will do for your mood” and she was right, it was a great way to analyse it for me. My dose was increased a couple of times until they reached a level where normality resumed, it will happen. In the meantime all your RUclips family will be here for you. XX 🥰💖🌈
Thank you Trina. The exhaustion of depression is not always attributed as a symptom.
Hi 👋 Trina-louise ,I am 62 and mum of 4 grown daughters and 2 grandsons 😊 I understand how u feel when talking. When I interact with anyone I try to speak slow and calm,but end up babbling I can actually hear myself but my anxiety is real. Don't feel childish about soft bears etc I go to bed hugging a elephant toy 🤗 I'm a new subscriber. But don't feel u have to reply no need. Take care and big hug 🤗 please never hate yourself for anything. Your beautiful and have a lovely personality.
Be kind to yourself Trina Louise. I am on medication for anxiety, so just remember we don’t judge you on how often you post or not post. We are your friends and we will be here to support you and your channel whenever you feel well enough to post lovely. Having a garden will make things so much better for you when you have been shielding for so long. Sending you a massive hug. Take care ❤️🌻
Thank you for sharing Trina, it was very brave of you. I don't know why but I feel really fond of you and this video is very relatable. Hope you feel better soon x
As a fellow depression sufferer and fellow plus RUclipsr I fully hear ya girl and well done you for speaking up. It’s hard putting yourself out there when we have low days. Just do your best girl, we will all still be here when you are ready.
Please don’t beat yourself up, take care of yourself first and you’ll come back stronger.
And congrats on the new house. So happy for you both xx
Why not make a separate channel where you can share the house stuff. So much you could talk about as you guys go through the process but also after. Would be fab
You are definitely not alone beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling as I know how difficult that can be. Thank you for being so open and honest with us. Mental health definitely needs to be discussed much more openly and I love that you've been able to share with us. I've suffered from depression and anxiety for the last 2 years very badly and recently diagnosed with PTSD. Please be kind to yourself and take the time you need to look after yourself. We'll still be here. Sending you all the love and light your way ❤️❤️💫 xxxxx
Everyone needs a break sometimes. You are a lovely person and I really enjoy your interactions on RUclips. If you do a packing/moving video, I'll watch it!!
Trina, I loved the teddy bear part of your story. Never feel like something like that is childish. We do what we need to in order to get through this life, no matter how silly it may seem to some. My thing is balloons. I love balloons. If I’ve had a bad day or if I accomplished something that I’m proud of, I buy myself a balloon - just one of the small ones on a plastic stick that are a dollar or two. I have one in the pen cup on my desk right now.
Take care of yourself. Your online friends will be here when there’s many videos and when there are few. Blessings to you and your family. 💚
So understand I've been off and on meds for anxiety and depression... its hard to accept that you need that help sometimes. 🧡 that you are being so open about your mental health
I really respect you for sharing something so personal. It had to be difficult. Adam is a jewel and what a great relationship where you both are so supportive of each other. Congratulations on your new house!
I myself struggle with depression and anxiety and have done for some time now. I thought taking medication meant I have failed to start with. But trust me it is a long process that takes time and lots of self care. I also have a favourite teddy called Barty. He keeps me calm and relaxed when I need him most. So if a teddy comforts you go for it. You are not alone. You are doing amazing. Just keep believing in you because you are amazing. Xx
You are loved and understood. Everything you do should be for you first. Anything you give after that is a gift. We’re lucky you share any part of yourself with us. We all know life is complicated and we understand. I look forward to seeing you whenever you’re here and I hope that you are happy and taking care of yourself when you’re not here. Congratulations on your house, I’ll be watching if you share. Who doesn’t live a Trina ramble?
Thhankyoufor your courageous vlog.I so understand low mood,lack of motivation,and unable to get out of bed or off sofa in my case.I have had mental health issues since 18yrs old maybe before so now its been 33yrs and now I'm starting to work in support groups currently as an art and craft
co ordinator.
Take your time one, small step at a time and don't judge yourself about taking meds whatever helps you gradually in this situation.
Congrats on the house buying and mood I am excited to see it vlogged but take your time work at the pace you need too and take those breaks and if you don't make one at a certain time its not a big deal don't let yourself become frustrated.
Things will get better as everything changes in Time.xx
Hi lovely 😊,
Please stop punishing yourself, i am a sufferer of depression myself and completely feel your anguish.
It’s taken me along time to get to the place I’m in now, and sometimes it feels like one step forward and two back. It takes a strong person in my opinion to ask for help, we could all put a brave face on but why live a false life . The most important thing at the moment is listen to what your body is telling you, even though things are frantic in your mind at present your body will tell you, “ITS TIME TO TAKE A BRAKE’ time to put yourself first.
I’m so passionate about this subject, it effects so many people in my life including my youngest son. Just know your not alone sweetheart sending lots of love 💕
So courageous of you for speaking out about this. I work in mental health and it’s 100% true that half the time we would never talk to someone else in the same way we talk/judge ourselves. It’s the inner critic creeping in and challenging it and being more compassionate/kinder to yourself is the 100% right thing to do. You need to look after yourself as you are “number 1”. Unfortunately GP’s seem to give out medication as the waiting lists for psychology is so long! But often the medication can get you in a little bit of a better place, ready to start your therapy in 2 months time. So I may actually be a positive and the 2 work together 👍🏻 Hope you start feeling more yourself soon, and just do what you feel like doing that day (in terms of RUclips etc, don’t feel pressured because of the “schedule”). Sending lots of love 🥰 xxx
Yes please for the house updates and congrats on the new purchase. Just take your time with coming back, we will still be here :)
Trina, I was in therapy for years for PTSD and one of the things I learned is that anxiety and depression are linked. My therapist said they feed each other. Don't be embarrassed, medication and definitely cognitive behavioural therapy will help you. Sending you love and healing ❤️
Trina I think you are incredibly brave for opening up. I am so proud of you for seeking the help that you need. Being kind to yourself is the hardest thing in the world.
Any of your true supporters will be understanding of you needing time and space to “heal”
Keep being your wonderful self and know we all stand with you x
I so admire the way you can openly and coherently talk about this and I hope you know it will positively affect a lot of people including me. Thank you 😊💓 I hope you get on well with therapy, it's been a game changer for me. Sending you all the positivity I possibly can ❤❤
Keep on taking care of yourself. It's like being on a plane. If the oxygen comes down, put yours on first, then help others with theirs. Your honesty is appreciated. Good luck!
Thank you Trina for raising awareness, take good care of yourself, sending you much love & a virtual hug 🤗 x
How brave - it’s the hardest part of mental health holding your hand up and admitting ‘this is me’. As you know I work in mental health but that doesn’t make me immune. I started therapy and medication 18 months ago - wham!!!! just as we all start isolating and my workload doubling!!!! My thoughts go out to you Trina xx
I know exactly how you feel, going through it (again) myself at the moment. All you can do is take your time, and please don't worry about your viewers and subscribers. I'm sure they all support you and care about your wellbeing, as I do. Lots of love xx
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have recently been put on antidepressants. We lost my best friend in Feb and since then I have struggled so so much. I have always suffered with anxiety and depression but it flairs up more from time to time. Hopefully you get your medication right soon. Take care of yourself lovely xx
Thank you for your openness. You need to take care of yourself. And we are glad to see you when you can you can be on camera.
Ive had depression since I was twelve diagnosed I also have friends and family too we've all got trauma etc and all here for you we can relate being your virtual friends I'm sure a lot of us get how you've been feeling lovely don't worry we'll always be here for you too! 👏💖💖💖
First and foremost make sure you take care of yourself. If you need time out, take it. As much as you love YT and we love watching you, you have to prioritise you. We'd rather see you when we can than never see you again. It's lovely to know that you have such amazing support in Adam. Don't be afraid to utilise him to the max! Huge congrats on buying the house too!! Much love and positivity to you 💕
Dear Trina. You did a really good job explaining yourself. Please dont be concerned about your RUclips followers. We'll all still be here. Hope you find an even level that works for you. Moving blogs are everyones faves x
I hope you feel better soon xx you need to make sure you take of yourself. Sending lots of love and well wishing xx
I’m on antidepressants and antipsychotics and I always panic that the chemist will be thinking like “look at this crazy bitch” every time I pick it up, but I’m starting to realise that they don’t care at all, and that medication isn’t a bad thing. I hope you feel comfortable with your medication soon 🖤
You’re going to get this under control. Remember....” This too shall pass..” Keep seeking the help you need. And remember, you are a strong and vital person. That can accomplish anything. Also, you have a loving & supportive partner. Best wishes and thoughts your way!
I’ve been on anti depressants for nearly two years now and struggled with anxiety and depression for around 3 years and struggled with motivation even to get dressed or brush my hair sometimes so I know how hard it can be so I just wanted to say I’m sending you all my love and the biggest of hugs. I’m only ever a message away if you need anything and I’m so happy for you!! Can’t wait to see your house xxx❤️❤️
You have been very honest & we respect that,depression is an awful thing to struggle with,you may have thought you were not explaining yourself very well but in fact you described absolutely what it is like.I’m sure all your followers understand.Don’t feel bad about a reduced output & put all your energy in helping yourself get the right level of medication hand in hand with the therapy.That in itself will be draining but you will get through it.Great news about moving Take care
Hi. I am sorry you have depression. I too have been anxious most of my life. Even as a child. I was scared of my own shadow. Now then,, as you know, the meds can take a good while to kick in so please hang on in there. Regarding therapy. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I hope it is for you. x
Yes. I feel u. I was actually assessed as an anxious child, been battling all my life. 62 now. On meds. Wishing u peace and happiness
From someone that struggles with all of these and more plus being on meds as well. I understand and know where you coming from. I have the same thoughts about myself as well. You are not alone you have all of us behind you as your support💚💚💚💚💚🌈💕🦄🦄🦄
So happy for you and the news of your new house! Definitely want to see the videos. So exciting! Taking care of yourself is top priority! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Very brave video, thank you for sharing, I too suffer with depression and anxiety. Be kind to yourself it's not selfish it's self care. Congrats on the house Take time take care stay safe. Vicky 💞
Totally understand where you’re coming from.❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry to hear that you have been struggling with your MH. I have suffered with depression / panic attacks / anxiety for 25 years now, more recently made worse by physical health problems, so I can fully understand and relate to the feelings you describe and the concerns that go along with it. I am glad to hear that you have been getting support from your GP and also that you have such a caring and understanding partner in Adam. I think that makes all the difference when you have people around to support you and I think that is why I have struggled more because I haven’t had that vital support from anybody. I’m sure all your friends here on RUclips and also Instagram will understand when you need to take some time out but I hope it will also help to know that you have these places to come back to when you feel ready and that they will be a happy focus for you. I hope everything progresses well with the house move and I would definitely love to see lots of videos about it all. Take care X ♥️
You will make it
Hang in there
I used to struggle with depression
I still struggle with anxiety
I learned new coaping skills
Very brave Trina, always here if you feel you can talk. Thinking of you xxxx
So sorry to hear you're struggling, I can absolutely relate to that exhausted feeling, it's so tough. Never feel bad about not replying to messages etc if that's what you need to do, taking care of yourself is most important. Would love to see house /moving content, create what makes you happy 🤗
I’ve been living with depression since October 1999. It’s certainly a tough old road.
Thank you for being so honest with us. I wish you all the best. Depression is not an easy road to travel for a lot of us and it’s very hard sometimes to figure out why we feel the way we do so please don’t be so hard on yourself. I hope everything goes well with your new house
I'm sorry you're going through this, Trina. I also have a lot of anxiety and depression stuff and it suuucks. For me, therapy has been a really wonderful and helpful experience. I would definitely love to see new house (congrats!!) content when you have energy/mindset for it. I understand it being hard to reply to people and can see how it would be hard to make content. I really admire how you want to show people that it is ok to not be ok, but it can also be a positive example to show people that can be really important to take a step back and take care of ourselves when we are struggling. You are such a thoughtful and caring person. I hope you feel better soon.
This is a very real video and I appreciate that - you are just like us viewers, a normal person. Hope you can get to a better position soon. Been the same myself, so totally understand . Take care. Xx
Thank you for being so open and honest and talking about Mental health, I too suffer from anxiety and depression and struggle to find motivation.. ❤️
Thank you! I hope you are doing well and if you are not, I hope you are soon!! 💕 xx
I think this happens to most of us at one time or another, and with all that's going on at the moment it's not surprising many of us feel low. I can totally relate to the lack of motivation and enthusiasm for the things you normally love. Not feeling sad isn't the same as being happy is it, it's more of a nothingness, a flat line of emotion with no highs or lows, but it will pass. For now, be kind to yourself and remember that little girl inside you, who loves that teddy bear, needs kind thoughts and a gentle inner dialogue. Don't beat yourself up for not replying to people, or for making less videos, or for taking meds, none of us would want you to do anything you don't feel up to doing. Be kind to yourself!
I'd definitely watch your moving house videos by the way, your face lit up talking about it, maybe that's what you need to reignite your passion for filming? Do more of what you love! Feel better soon lovely 💗
Hi trina ,well done on buying your house ,that's so exciting, also on your health you will get there ,one day at a time sweetheart and be kind to yourself ,love watching your vlogs ,and you will feel abit better soon 😊
Bless you I so resonate with how you feel . You are a beautiful lady inside and out . No one could continue to isolate like you and not feel Depressed. Hopefully your new home will give you some focus . I was concerned that maybe you had been getting trolled after your Tv programme . I had noted since then you were quiet .When I see you in the tv I was blown away by how wonderful you were and beautiful. Therefore as you say no reason to feel down. I pray life is good to you and you get back on track . Love your videos ! It’s hard to imagine you down because you always have a gorgeous smile and seem so upbeat . But I know myself we all put an act on we have too !! Just keep smiling and hopefully one day you will feel much more like yourself .Take care big hugs 🤗
Hun I am so sorry for what you are going through. I am always open about my mental health too. After all its nothing to be ashamed of. I am bioplar and rapid cycle which means the ups and the downs people experience for long periods of time one or the other, I experience hourly constantly. Its exhausting to be honest. I am on high dose medication and am not ashamed to say I cannot function without it. If you ever want to talk I am always here. I will always listen and never judge and it will never go any further. Dont listen to the people who say, aww cheer up! or snap out of it! dont they think we want to!. give yourself time and allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling. xxx
So pleased your getting help. Well done. Your doing fantastic. Take care xxx
I feel ur pain as I experience the same thing. We love u, thank you for sharing this, people tend to not talk about mental health. If u need time take it, u need to care for u we will be here, we r ur friends and we love you & Adam. Congratulations on the new house I would love to see all the house content.❤️🧡💛💚💙
Thank you for sharing your heart Trina, i will keep you in my prayers.
would love to see house moving content☺️ take care of yourself and we’ll still all be here when you feel better :) much love💓
Take all the time you need. Sending lots of love and congratulations with the house xxx
Bless your heart 🥰 being kind to yourself definitely needs to be your number 1 priority at the moment.. we’ll all still be here when you’re ready 😊 sounds like you’ve got great support around you 🤗 and the house sounds amazing! sending lots of love xx
Totally get it! Give yourself time. And take one hour at a time - do stuff when you can, don’t stress when you can’t. The hardest part is not getting frustrated with yourself. Like you said, be patient with yourself, as you would with someone else💜 Congrats on your new house 🏡 Would love to see the moving vids. I love buying and selling and moving😎
Thank you for sharing Trina, I think you will find that 80% of us struggle with mental health but to admit and get help is the main thing. I have not left this house for nearly 18mts which has only been since my Mum passed away. Please keep going and please keep posing. Love from down under xoxo 💋
Thankyou for bring honest with us and you and Adam are so amazing together ❤ xx
Would love to see a moving series 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing this, I rarely comment but had to say I do appreciated the openness of this video. I am in a similar space with my mental health, had alway had anxiety and lockdown made it worse but I'm now on meds and the everyday panic I was feeling has mostly subsided, but I have zero energy, I work only 4 hours a day cleaning houses and when I get home I have all these plans but they just don't get done. I'm a single parent and have tried to get the kids involved with household chores-I feel like my energy is sucked out by morning routines and work and I just want to sleep the rest of the time. This video has resonated so much I will be ringing the doctor tomorrow, thank you and best wishes xxxx
Hope you get better soon☀️ congrats on buying a new house. Love seeing housecontent😊
I have anxiety and depression and PTSD - I understand the struggle, and am so happy you are getting help with it both with medication and therapy - it all helps so much. Take care of yourself, do what you need to do to look after YOU!
There is no shame in depression or asking for help.Because you have been so honest you will have helped others, possibly who were feeling the same.Your true friends and followers will always care about you
I just wish you well, I'm sure you doing this video will help another person as it's so truthful. I'm hoping you are doing ok and look forward to you next video. A huge good luck with the purchase of a house and of course would love to see your journey in moving you take care 😘😘😘
Thank you so much for sharing how you are feeling. Please please don't set too much of a schedule for yourself when you're feeling like this. You need to do you for yourself not for other people. You said exactly what you needed to even with the 'rambling"!! This is all normal you don't need to apologise!! ❤
Congratulations on your buying a house and yes I'd like to see a house move series.
Thankyou for this very honest and personal video I think sometimes we are our biggest and most harsh critics, but just know sometimes its o.k not to be o.k and that's life.
Its great you've got a good support network and I think Beary is a great fun idea.
Thanks for sharing Trina, your openness takes a lot of courage and will help many others. Look after yourself and don't be hard on yourself. Congrats on the new house, would love to see the house move videos 😊
You take as much time as you need sweetheart we will be here really excited to watch you moving video packing etc I wish you all the best and hope you feel back to yourself soon and I really dont bother if you dont respond just know that I will be here for you whenever you feel ready, take care darling girl ❤❤
You take care of yourself. Yes to house videos. I can understand a little of what you are going through. I have thyroid issues and at the moment I'm going through an unstable time it is either to high or to low. I know it can cause depression and the way things are going in the world at the moment it gets to me. I take one day at a time. So sending you hugs.
Mental health can be a challenge and especially at the moment it can be so hard to see the wood for the trees. Take your time and do what you need to do. Your mental health comes before anything else. I am on medication for anxiety and it has taken me a long time to get my head around needing medication but it is now a part of my daily routine. You will get there. 👍 But just remember it is okay not to be okay.
It's a hard road with depression but you're doing all the right things. I'm sending you all good wishes and luck. Great news about the house xxx
Take all the time you need, you have lots of lovely things to come x
Hi Trina i am totally agreed with Ember Skye we are here for You in the same way you are for us..i am been following you since your first video, you inspired me in many ways give me reason to be me pick myself up and carry on you inspired me and for that i Wish you get better soon and i know you will ..take care of Trina ..Trina 💪💪
Depression is awful just take the time you need and find out what works best for you be it something that causes a distraction or taking time to yourself to help yourself heal and just know that people will support you if they are true followers, friends , family etc x
Thank you so much lovely, I really appreciate it!! 💕xx
Oh lovely, this must have taken so much to film. I’m not very elegant with words but I wanted to send you love & hugs. Also moved into a new build last year, I’ve loved making it our own, bit by bit xxx
Sorry I should have also mentioned my own mental health, anxiety & depression has been a part of my life since I was 15. It is manageable, I promise 💜 also you’d be surprised how many people are on medication xxx
Congratulations on your new home.
First of all, best wishes to you! I struggle with depression, and I totally get the lack of energy and the instinct to hide away. Secondly, I would love to see your house content! It was so good to see the way you lit up just talking about it.
It took me almost 2 years to get on the right medication. My doctor actually ended up doing a gene test on me to test which medications would work best for me and that helped a lot! I've been going to therapy for several years as well. Its so important to take care of your mental health.
Sweetie don't be so hard on yourself. I've been on medication for depression and anxiety for a long time. It literally saved my life. You are so right about the medications needing adjusting and/or changing. It took a couple of years for me to the exact right combo for me. It's awesome that you can admit to yourself you need help. I am in the US we have some services ie: Dr on Demand, which is tele medicine, perhaps you have something like that in the UK? I am praying for you and don't ever be afraid to ask for help. If you need an ear I am probably old enough to be your mum and I am happy to just listen. Big hugs and to a brighter tomorrow
Thank you for sharing, I've felt like this in the past seems to have worsened by covid /not going out. P.s would LOVE house blogs/vlogs
I would love to see the house stuff! It would be fun to see you pack, move, and show us your new home! That is an exciting time in your life! 😀 🎉🥳
I've been depressed (and anxious) for almost a decade and totally understand. ♡
