hey so i just wanted to say that while it is easy for me to joke about it and slap on some fun jazz background music, obviously it is impossible to self care the depression away. this semester was tough but i really did not want to make a fully woe is me vlog so that is why i'm still trying to keep things at least a little upbeat. that being said taking care of yourself is truly really important and trying at least a little like in this video can make a world of difference. be kind to yourselves and try to do one self care-type thing today
thank you and i hope you feel better soon. im sorry you feel ick but then again a lot of us do. but hey you editted this video which i personally could never do- but yeah treat yourself dude you deserve it
Ris- that rollercoaster analogy is a better explanation of living with depression than I've heard from any psychologist or academic. And I have a degree in psychology.
This is actually so true, sometimes I'm staggered at the fact that I feel even remotely socially satisfied by an object when in reality I've been in a room by myself for like four hours. Then as soon as I realise my dependence, and take my phone for the electrical collection of lights and speakers that it is, the anxiety sets in. Ew.
honestly finally seeing someone on youtube that represents exactly how we all feel is so... reassuring in a way. I hope you’ll feel better, the past semester was absolute shite, lets hope the next one wont be quite as bad :)))))))
true, because everyone everywhere on social media tries so hard to show the best of them and make it appear as if their whole life is perfect and together which it may not be. (that in the end could also make the person taking all these pictures and videos feel terrible as well, but that's not the point rn) So seeing this is on one side worrisome, because i don't think any of her viewers want her to feel depressed and terrible, but also reassuring because we can see that even people on social media have hard and draining times.
pls all of your friends coming in at once being chaotic while you're filming yourself being depressed and then telling you to "GET OUT OF THE WAY" just summarizes college perfectly
When Ris said "I'm trying to think about something that I can do that I enjoy that is not work" she literly descibed me I don't know if there is someone else that feels the same way when I'm in holiday I don't know what to do so that I just keep thinking about my life and then get depressed so I hurry up to study.
Finals, that time of the semester when the only mental relief is that no matter how much I suffer, procrastinate or stress, the Earth will still rotate on its axis and this time will still pass. It's nearly over. Ah.
I know you didn't ask, so feel free to ignore this, but I've been also getting a lot of anxiety from my phone (it's been permanently on 'do not disturb' mode for few weeks now) and I found a life hack that may work for others - timers, like Forest. For example: - you don't know how to relax, because you keep on focusing on what you need to do? Set a timer for an hour and allow yourself this much of relaxation before going back to working. - you've been procrastinating on your work for too long? Set a timer for 25 minutes and vow to work for this long. Sometimes the most difficult part is starting and while it may not fix everything at once, you're still gonna be 25 minutes ahead compared to procrastinating this time away. - tired of endless scrolling on tik tok? Set a timer for 15 minutes and open a window/do anything else for this long. - your room is always a mess? Set a timer daily for 5 minutes and try to clean for this much every day. It takes a bit of practice to use that time to actually focus, but you can still spend a lot of time productively this way :)
as a steady flip phone user for the past 3 years you really do learn to appreciate the finer things in life such as bigger screens, facetime, t y p i n g, it’s also painted in pink and purple glittery nail polish ✨
Does taking a shower because you haven't had the energy to take one in like five days count as self care? I washed my face...if that makes any difference
good for you!! i deleted snapchat because i would check it everyday and get hurt because a certain person wasn’t talking to me and i feel a lot better. i kinda wanna delete tiktok but i’m addicted lol
Hazel Gould Social Media does put a lot of unnecessary pressure. You should get rid of Tic Toc, and just be free to be you! Besides you can watch tic Toc vids on RUclips if you just have to see it Hahahah! I never got Tic Toc. But my whole family has it and can’t stop watching it. But you know the whole China thing right?
Hazel Gould I hope it works out for you! It really did for me. I spend way more time outside and actually accomplish things hahah. I have even gotten into reading more.
to be honest, self care is such a difficult thing to me because doing nothing is something i do so often that doing it in the "name of self care" stresses me out. typically its just a lot of me sitting, dissociating, and falling further into a depressive spiral. edit: absolutely relate to the jeans thing. some days my dysphoria is so bad ill put something on and immediately be like "if this doesnt get off of my body right now i will actually collapse into a puddle of stress and discomfort"
To be honest i almost quit college yesterday and i'm trying to get my shit together and keep going...Ris i'm proud of you and we're gonna make it we're gonna get better day by day
i also have a hard time when i try to do selfcare. i always feel like i'm doing it "wrong". i guess taking care of urself is also something u have to practice
Ris is such a mood. I’ve legit had to show coworkers her videos to explain the completely random saying I’ve yoinked, and this vid will be no different. “It’s been 50 grit rough”, etc. 🖤
I deleted all my socials last year as the pandemic started and tbh it was the best decision of my life. Before that, I would just deactivate them for long periods of time, and then when I saw my mental health tanking with covid I ripped the band aid off and permanently deleted them. I find that the noise in my brain has decreased significantly. There was also a weird withdrawal period where I kept wanted to download them again, but after you get through that you literally gain hours of life back.
thanks for looking like an average uni student! from south america, on my period while post vacc i felt like a zombie that whole weekend, plus midterms, so can relate :)
I've been so obsessed with Ris lately. Every time I feel bad I always watch her. I've been sitting around waiting for her to post a new video :) She makes me so happy
Definitely relate to this, last year of high school, last quartermester and stuck with classes I didn't want. Its online and been in lockdown for 2 months hello to my fellow ontarians. Feel like crying most days but getting through it. low-key feel like my sanity is wasting away but I make it work some how.
for the last 1,5 years ive not only started not doing what im supposed to do but also procrastinate on the things that i could do to make myself feel better. you always give me the right amount of energy and motivation to be able to push through another day and do myself some good. i am renovating my room at the moment, having your videos on a playlist in the back is giving me STRENGTH! i believe in you and i believe in myself. have a great off time and im sending you love and peace from germany ♥
Honestly, as a uni student in Belgium rn, I never related so much to someone especially about the whole world situation and the rollercoaster analogy *chef's kiss* imma go back to the good way of candies and face masks
Finally got around to watching this… a week later. Finishing up my online school was terrible and I really neglected self care to I can really relate to the feelings expressed here 😂
ris trust me getting a flip phone instead of a smartphone doesnt work i spend just as much time trying to keep up with social media now except i do it on a computer the internet is a trap
adding to the comments you mentioned about how you actually did do things... girl you filmed your day and spoke to a camera... that's something too, that's a long term task and takes sustained focus/effort
i relate A LOT to what you say about how you feel and think about yourself and college work. it is very hard to be good to myself. always has been but especially this year. i love your "thank you for the venom" t-shirt and jewellery. also don't stop making videos, you're great!! hope you feel better.
I have days where I want to just do nothing and watch videos all day, in fact that's just most days lmao. But I always want to take care of my self and look cute for myself lmao but then I fall back out of it yk. This school year has just been absolutely shit and I ended up being homeschooling for the end if the year so my grades wouldn't b absolute shit. It feels good to know someone's going thru the same thi
honest to god this semester flew by and all I remember was praying for it to end; but now it has I'm just happy I made it though :) its comforting to see that I'm not jut suffering alone, that there's a nice collective experience here, even from the other side of the world (from australia lol)
As a university student whose life is in shambles and whose mental health has never been worse, watching this video already made my day so much better. And I haven't even finished watching yet. Ris, you seem like the coolest person and I hope you feel better soon! Love from Germany
the realest youtuber out there. im going to university in September and it's been so hard to find people who don't romanticize college and just tell it how it is. now I can be more prepared. love u!
had my last day of school yesterday and doing the same thing today!! deep cleaning my cave of a room and dying my hair blue cos now there's no teachers to tell me otherwise!
3:00 honestly same. There have been days. I've just finished year 12 (2021). So I guess more is to come. "How r u? " some days I just don't know how to respond because I'm not good but I don't want to get into it. So I just make noises.
i really really appreciate your videos, you put so many of my thoughts and feelings into words and it's a comfort to know that i'm not alone in all this bs 😔🙏
"Lately I don't know how to be a person, who just exist, without doing work or thinking about how i'm not doing work" 👏👏👏 That's how I'm feeling this whole semester! Idk it's so nice to hear someone else say they feel the same way, and that it's kinda weird.
I can totally relate to what you said about just existing. I think that it’s hard for everyone during the end of the school year when there’s a lot of work and you either do it or think about the fact that you’re not doing it even though you should. So yeah, just wanted to say that you’re not alone :)
YOOOOO I remember seeing Bailey Sarian do an etalove thing where it was like a planchette ring perhaps. I will buy myself something. as a treat. for graduation. wish me luck lol your videos are always very relatable and comforting Ris
you honestly give me so much hope for college. like seeing people struggle a bit even though they're being adults in college makes me feel so much better

I swear flip phone will have a comeback, as more and more people are realizing the mental health issues that come along with smart phones
This is actually so true, sometimes I'm staggered at the fact that I feel even remotely socially satisfied by an object when in reality I've been in a room by myself for like four hours. Then as soon as I realise my dependence, and take my phone for the electrical collection of lights and speakers that it is, the anxiety sets in. Ew.
There’s a new basic smart phone that legit is only for calling and texting and I feel it’s for this exact reason.
I have recently got a flip phone, best decision ever!
yes! that and how you can just slap the phone closed to hang up on someone

It's honestly so refreshing to see someone show depression in a realistic and honest way
The Rollercoaster you describe is literally what being bipolar is like
Somehow this called me out but also comforted me and I’m still confused on how that’s possible

ways to make me feel better ab being in a depression mood is watching ppl take care of themselves
