I actually reached out today for help, the whole time tho I couldn’t look the person in the eye, my hands were sweaty and I felt anxious. But hey I did it
So, I’m watching this 9 months later. I really hope you are doing okay and that your journey through mental health turned out to be a productive one with a beautiful outcome. Wherever you are in your life right now, I hope you’re in a brighter place 😁✌️
My anxiety and depression is out of control. I’ve had this shit since I was 16. I’m 27 now and never been at a lower point in my life. I find myself watching this video now. What should I do? I’ve never asked for help for stuff like this and feel like a lesser person for even thinking about doing so. I can’t function in day to day life anymore
I’m 28 & have gone through so much trauma & my mental health has fluctuated up & down for years. I feel like I’ve gone through much worse & handled it better than I do now. I think over the years I just don’t know how to manage anything anymore. I can’t even hold healthy relationships anymore. I think I need to admit myself because I really need help. Waiting 2 weeks to talk to my therapist is not helping me.
Hello Amy! My name is Lavinia. I've been struggling with depression for about 18 months. It's been so difficult. I know how you feel. I've been hospitalized many times as well. I also struggle with self harm and have attempted suicide a few times. Not successful of course. I just found your channel. I'm glad i did. Love yOU!
So many of us struggle with our mental health and it’s so nice that we can be open about it and share this with others bc even reading your comment has reminded me that I’m not alone :) I hope you’re doing okay 👌
Wow! Hospitals around here aren’t that nice. They may have a dr come see you a few minutes a day. They do short group talks. And some art time. But mostly it’s wondering around on new meds and feeling like a zombie. And we couldn’t have our own snacks or a camera or anything. So different. I wish I could get that kind of help around here. Congrats to you for being so brave and growing in your mental health at such a young age. I’m 47 and have been struggling for so many years. Keep up the good work!! 💪🏼
I’ve been feeling like I should check my self in All I have is extreme crippling depression and suicidal ideations or thoughts Total lack of motivation I cannot take care of myself
same here, but I'm terrified of reaching out for help and not getting what I need, but I'm also terrified of never getting help and never getting better, at some point it's gonna be too late, it's already starting to get there, so ik I need to go inpatient asap, but I'm paralyzed with fear, idk what'd be a good choice
That is a nice mental hospital not the ones Ive been to mines felt like prison no phone no remote for tv no forks or spoons to eat bathrooms were shared and disgusting
Ive found this video mistakely and am shocked - in my country mental health issues are not treaten like a problem, more like "its because of the computer", we dont have too many good specjalists and yet Ive heard from some people mental hospitals cointain common bathrooms or keep even up to a couple people in one room. Also You have to wait here to a specjalist several weeks or months to get help. Pretty often Youre forced to pay thousands of money for Your treatment and therapy. Wish my country did care that much about peoples mental health
My therapist thinks it would be good for me to go there for a while. I'm going the coming wednesday I am so close to crying because I'm thinking about all the stuff I will miss i might do wrong etc. Thats also why i'm here cause I got worried and i wanted to get a first impression. Like I'm thinking what if I'm just making up shit and I'm just too sensitive.
wow wednesday, last week i meet doctor asking if im experience anxiety like panic attack and crying for no reason and i also mention "feel like dying everyday", do blood test and urine test. my result will be out this wednesday, then meet psychiatrist
Hi Amy, my name is Paula and I am suffering from anxiety and depression since I was a Child. Because of an suïcide attempt I am in a weelchair right now. I want to thank you for sharing your journey. You are so strong!
So glad I found this video. Thank you for sharing. I have decided to check in to get help tomorrow, so I started looking for videos on what to expect. I feel so much like you and just don’t know how to find happiness. Thank you for giving me some hope and making me feel that I am not alone in this struggle.
i am so sooo proud of you Amy wow ♡ I work in the mental health industry and experience my own journey with anxiety so watching you being so open in sharing this experience is incredible! cannot wait to see you continuously growing and sharing more mental health related content x
aww thank you so very much! What a beautiful comment. That's awesome that you work in the industry, i'm sure you can really relate to the people you work with due to your own struggle with mental health and make such a difference 😊And thanks for sticking by me and supporting me, it means a lot :) Wishing you nothing but the best for the new year and your mental health journey 💕 xx
this video really helped me right now thank you!! i hope you're ok!! i have a youtube channel too and finding the motivation to even make videos even though its the only thing in my life that makes sense and gives me joy so yeah anyway I just felt like ranting so I hope you have an amazing day :)
Thank you for sharing! I struggle with my anxiety and depression. I hit rock bottom last year. I’m doing better. I haven’t checked myself in to the hospital... I did call 911 , the emergency line once and been in a few programs. Still in one . Again, thanks for sharing
This video is literally so relatable I literally have the same problems that you do and thank you so much for inspiring me On your journey Because anxiety and depression can be very scary
I decided a this morning that I need to admit myself to a mental hospital for similar reasons to those you listed. It was really validating for me to watch this. I felt like I wasn’t Not Okay enough to require inpatient treatment but watching this, I realized I need to put my mental health first given where it’s at right now. thank you for this. I’m glad you had a good expetience
I know I need help but with all this corona virus and quarantine stuff I can’t get the the help I need and it’s really really frustrating because I built up all of my confidence to talk to someone and then lockdown happened and I don’t know if I’ll make it until I can get help but I will try I think all I can do right now is watch these videos so I know what to expect also you’re so so strong well done 💕💕x
This may sound cliche but you can get through this, I believe in you.. even if you find it hard to believe that for yourself. Luckily these days there a ton of online mental health resources so please don't let this virus stop you from getting the help you need, you are important and worthy! I'm not sure where you live but perhaps do some research on some help lines you could call. I also know that most psychologists are doing all their appointments over zoom/skype at the moment so that's always an option too. Stay Strong, it will get better and just take it one day at a time. Sending you lots of love 💕
allthingsbeautiful95 Thankyou so much I really appreciate it you’re channel has given me a lot of hope that it will get better i am really trying but as you know mental health is really hard and really complicated every time I have tried to get help before I can’t get it out you pretend you’re okay for so long that when you try and stop pretending you don’t know how I guess I’ll just have to try and find a way also you’re amazing and you’re so strong I love youuu💕x
That’s what I’m scared avout and what’s pushing me to not want the help. I need freedom and I need the ability to call my family and friends on my time. I’m scared to go
Yes they probably would . People in USA in mental health hospitals for the most part feel as though they are in jail or prison not a mental health hospital that should be there to help there mental health not make it worse, I personally experienced that after a horrible experience with being hospitalized with severe anorexia nervosa and actually had ptsd from it for years
@@amimartinez7507 yes but nurses choose what patients get to watch and ofcourse people all don’t like to watch the same type of shows. It’s like jail or prison, they alot of times have day room tv as well
Having mental help sucks and I will never ask for help again I asked for help and lost my daughter I will never ever in my life all for help again even thou I no I need it I just won't ask for it anymore cause I don't want give anyone a reason to take my baby I have now so I deal with it in my own way without asking for the help
Depressed around her entourage. Not the depressed in that mental hospital bubble. Start getting anxious when she has to get back to her previous life... Don't know if I'm the only one who can see what I see
Than you for making this video, I'm in the exact same situation that you were in and this really helped, I feel a lot better about going to the hospital now that I know other people have gone through the same thing
Do you live in the US? I am watching the video but wondering if this would be similar in the US? I’m afraid because it’s such a profitable industry here and I don’t know who to trust
Hi Amy, I’m currently inpatient in a private hospital in Australia and I really enjoyed watching your video! I felt inspired to admit myself after watching your video, I completely understand the anxiety waiting to be admitted in the morning. But I watched your video and just thought to myself, if you can do it so can I. ♥️ I’m making some videos about my journey in hospital if you’re interested in watching! Or if not, thanks for putting your story out there. Hope you’re doing well ♥️
I’m checking into rehab within the week for anxiety, depression and weed addiction. Extremely nervous right now. Mainly because I won’t be able to see my dog while I’m in. And my dog is my everything lol. But if don’t go in I’ll probably die before he does so gotta do what I gotta do.
Ive been looking at different facilities…none of them hospitals but still inpatient but its so hard I’ve been struggling for a year now and a psychiatrist hasn’t helped….Im terrified cuz I’ve never been to a facility but i have to remain hopeful its for the best cuz I can’t go on like this…thanks for sharing
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
Hi! Thank you so much for your awesome video! I get nervous around some male doctors too. Do you still feel that way? Also, are you allowed to disclose what place you went to? Thank you!!
I salute your courage, you are not alone and most importantly you are greatly loved. Mental health is a great deal , hold on you are bouncing back healed and completely strong..God bless.
Thank you for this video. It was really good timing for me as I am going into an impatient unit this week. It took me a while to watch the video, I was so scared to see your experience because I am scared of mine. I know they are not comparable but knowing that you got so much out of it really helped me to know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm terrified but this video helped me realise it'll be okay. Thank you for sharing, I know it wouldn't have been easy at all. I'm proud of you. I'm glad I stuck around and I can't wait to hear more on this. Thanks lovely! Best of luck to you with your journey, thank you for helping mine
ahh you're so welcome! This honestly makes me so happy to hear that my video was able to help you in some way, that is exactly why I posted it and honestly makes it all worth it! 🙂 Just know that it is completely normal and understandable to be scared and nervous (believe me I should know) but I'm so proud of you for taking that step, that shows true strength, courage and bravery! Thank you for sticking by me, I appreciate it more than I could express and I really hope that you have a healing and transformative experience yourself... you can do it! 💕💜
I’m 13 and have been cutting for a year now, at the moment I have been feeling so terrible like every inch of my body feels heavy all the time. I honestly don’t want to be here anymore. I know I need help but I don’t know how to ask as nobody knows how much I’m struggling. Any advice?
It’s crazy how liberating your room is. I live in the U.S. and my gosh is this a GENUINE SURPRISE on how much they let you have in your room. Where I live, they didn’t let you have ANYTHING in your room unless it was clothes, group therapy papers, or your patient information papers. NOTHING ELSE. It’s genuinely surprising how much you were allowed to have what so many of the patients I’ve basically lived with, would beg for. My experience being at the Psych hospital was absolutely horrible. Screaming, arguing, banging on walls, yelling, crying, and I myself as well as other patients been physically attacked by another patient, because of negligent staff. Here’s just a few things we can’t have. -No eletronics of any kind. (They take your phone THE SECOND YOU WALK IN.) -If you were transported to a psych hospital from a Regular hospital, you are to be transported by ambulance, in a hospital gown. -Skin Checks, they make you take off your clothes in order to see you have self harm scars, count self harm scars, and check for possible infections of newer scars. -The only things you’re allowed to bring in, is clothes. -No clothing with strings. (With permission, they will cut them off, if you want to keep that piece of clothing.) -No wired bras, bras with multiple straps, or has any considerable holes in it. (They check the inside of bras in case of trying to sneak things in) -No access to even just VIEW outside the window you have in your room. You can only tell when the sun is out by the sun rising and shining on the window. You cant see outside. And there’s nothings on the window in the inside. No blinds or curtains. -No hats. -No jewelry. -No tight clothing, or revealing clothing. -No shaving. -Even if you’re freezing cold, you’re only allowed ONE very thin blanket to sleep with. -No hair ties. -No Pen’s or pencils allowed, unless in group therapy sessions, but are only allowed when writing during groups. We write with crayons, everywhere else. -No personal products of any kind. (They supply a 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash) -No shoes, only crocs, or slides. -No personal hygiene products. (Deodorant, Shampoo, conditioner, skin care, soap, hair product, etc.) -No cords, stings, decorations, hooks, yarn, etc. -When showering, PSA’s check on you every 15 minutes, and your head and feet are visible. You do have your privacy with a shower in the bathroom which has a curtain, not a door. -You have a roommate that you share a room with, but will only EVER be with the same gender as you. So no need to worry about having a roommate be the opposite sex as you. -Every piece of furniture you have in your room is bolted to the ground. (literally only your bed, your roommates bed, 2 wardrobes with no doors or drawers, and two nightstands with no drawers.) you obviously only have one, your roommate has the other. But that’s all that is in the room. I might add more to this later, as there is ALOT YOU CANT HAVE, but it’s hard to think of everything all at once. Just think, basically ANYTHING you could possibly harm yourself with, ingest, choke on (intentionally), try to suffocate yourself with, or anything you could harm others with, just isn’t allowed. We have hardly anything.
I’ve been considering checking myself into a psychiatric hospital but i’m a minor and scared they’ll tell me i can’t go bc i need parental consent. talking to my parents about mental health is terrifying so i’m kind of stuck. advice would be great!
Hey, I noticed your name is coffee house? When I was unwell I was drinking about 9 cups of coffee a day. I didn't sleep much and I was full of anxiety. I don't drink caffeine now and I feel so much better. I also found comfort in jesus. I hope this helps. ❤️😊
@@lauraberry226 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." - Philippians 4:6 NIV
Hi I’ve tried and everyone says no ? I’m over 18 and have been trying for maybe 2 years now to get help and they wouldn’t even help me after knowing I was seeing a councilor and not getting better any help?
I want to go bc my anxiety is bad I can’t go any where I haven’t been anywhere in a whole year I can’t get in the car without panicking I’m surprised I’m not severely depressed😭I manage but the thoughts of kms is dang near every day now bc reality is kicking In my 19th bday is on the 15th and haven’t even lived as a 18 year old
so what's the diff between mental health hospital and residential treatment center, is it the surroundings like rtc more homey and mental hospital basically hospital but for mental health specifically? You also called it rehab, which ppl interchange that and rtc, so mental hospital also interchangeable terms then? How does one even choose where to go, or is it more of take the risk and just go somewhere to see what helps? I don't know where to start looking or what to look for, I'm completely disorganized and anxiety induced, I can't sort stuff out n I'm terrified of seeking help, I don't trust it... Btw I really appreciate the time u took to make this vid on such a serious and personal subject, it's eye opening and rlly helpful to hear about someone's own experiences and I've always had so much unfathomable anxiety that holds me back from life, I completely understand being scared of such a drastic change too and the uncertainty whether it'd be helpful or not. I'm glad you had a great experience there though and that it really helped you, that's awesome.
I'm feeling exactly the same I had surgery on Friday and now I'm like we're do I go what do I do I'm in so much pain I just want to feel better thankyou for this video ❤️ xx
I hope you are doing better. You are very inspiring. I have had mental issues for about a decade. Have been medicated most of the time. I started psychological counseling three years ago. I was over medicated from that time until recently. I would never recommend a family doctor administering psychiatric meds. It is not their specialty. I now have a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is in charge of my meds. Weaning from everything with the exception of my mood stabilizer was difficult. It has been one week since I entered the ER at my local hospital. It was an awakening experience. My fear was being treated as a crazy person. That was so far from what happened. Caring and sympathetic to my situation was what I experienced. I am Bipolar I followed up with my psychologist and NP the following day. Amongst the 3 of us I have admitted myself into outpatient treatment which will start in 2 weeks. I am not allowing myself to think about what could be. I will take it as it comes. Even though I have a super support system to be around familiars and to talk to people that understand is something that gives me hope.
Ashwagandha is best known for its stress-lowering effects. The medicinal herb appears to help lower levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by your adrenal glands in response to stress.
I I found you through obvious search. I don't know what your normal content has been about, but you have nothing to apologize for that's not a place I want to thank you for doing this video because I've been struggling lately
Oh my golly your video is so professional., also beautiful story/journey. I'm trying to share my story as well. I just added my first video today telling a bit about my journey and what I've experienced in life. You are so inspiring and a true inspiration. I love women empowering themselves with their story and embracing their journey. Keep being you because you are amazing.
i’m questioning asking my mom to take me to the er tonight. but she is kinda against people with mental illness but i sort of feel like i want to get help. i have a doctors appt next week but idkk. i feel like i’m doing it for attention kind of because i always feel like that when i have any sort of issue in my life where i think something is wrong with me. i’m not sure if that makes sense and yes. i’m 14 and i think i have anorexia/binge eating disorders and anxiety, but depression is questionable.
As silly and stupid as it sounds, I’m terrified of not having my phone and laptop and switch. Like I’m n on my phone 24/7 but that’s one thing I need to have is the ability to text my friends and family on my own time and not the hospitals. I’m 18 and I want that freedom and I feel I’d do much worse if I didn’t have that.
getting off medsq is hard but i think get used to them after a while n they stop working we dont get anh therapy in pur hospital whitch is like they just trt loput u on meds honest unless ur uber well off the mentdl health hospitals near me aeful so glad u feel better its hell vieng anxious n deprsesed id check in tbh now if i dignt know that be awful no therapy nn yeah thp u fo get instustionaled buut you are far bettee than we clme put here truly xx
I really hope you find your passion for youtube, or life for that matter. I am at the beginning of the journey that you have so masterfully laid out. It gives me courage to know that I am not alone and that you don’t have to be anxious about what’s on the other side. Keep advocating for mental health. We really need it in this COVID era.
i feel anxiety last yr and depression because of my acid .huhu everytime i remmbrd it i just cry ..huhu .but nw im fine very fine ..,anxiety is gone n depression .takecare dear ,♥️
I’m 18 and I’m in foster care I’ve been doing well from an outside perspective I’m getting adopted soon and dcf is finally starting to trust me to go off to college and I’m not in a good space mentally I can’t stop bingeing I haven’t showered in over a month and I know I’m hitting rock bottom but I can’t risk dcf taking away my ability to go to college it scares me that I can lose so much yet possibly gain support if I go to the hospital
@@alycooper1932 Hii thank you for checking in I'm doing great I got my own place and I'm in school and working still struggl sometimes with things due to my schzoaffective disorder
so different hospital then here you get a shared room with a bed and a night stand and a shelf thats it tv in common area. your allowed your phone or tablet but you have to charge them in a locked room. nothing with cables allowed in your room
Really appreciate you sharing this. Many people feel the same but are scared of sharing. The point at I got was not depression but not happy either. Not knowing my purpose. Just hovering in between. I still don't know. From your low you reach your high. I'm just flying in-between. I know it's midlife crises. I know it's fine. But I have no clue to continue. Anyone in their '60 who can tell me the hell which I am approaching? If I can advise my 20 year old I would say : Nobody gives a shit about you! Just ask that girl out! Dance like none is watching! You boss is just as scared as you are! Now anybody in their 60 give a 40 year old some tips? Pretty pease?
Aww thank you! I know that point you're talking about where you're not in a full blown depression but you're just not happy (and may feel like there's no joy in your life). I think this is quite a common thing when one reaches that middle age time in their lives and it can bring up all sorts of emotions and uncertainty. I've come to learn that uncertainty isn't necessarily a bad thing and it's okay to not have all the answers. I know it can be so hard and frustrating but just try trust in the timing of things, take as many opportunities as possible and say yes to things because you never know who you'll meet and you may discover your purpose along the way. Because when nothing is certain, anything is possible.. and even though this can be scary, it can also be an exciting concept! But if you want to seek some help with this, a life coach could be a good way to go. And that is some really good advice for your 20 year old and advice I think we could all take on board! So I thank you for that 😊 Good luck with it all and thank you for stopping by and watching my video 💕
Don't cry,we are with you and most importantly God has your back. Remember God said in the bible be anxious for nothing. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,let your request be made known unto God. You are unique and loved .God bless
John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I’ve been feeling like I should check my self in
All I have is extreme crippling depression and suicidal ideations or thoughts
Total lack of motivation
I cannot take care of myself
samee but i feel my parents are gonna say no and then i feel like im not valid enough and i dont wanna be told that oh ur okay enough to go home
Probably but it may be hard to I had struggles telling people about my anxiety attacks but it helped in the long run
@Ami Martinez Are you feeling better ?
@@strawberry10261026 yea I guess life has been constantly changing
same here, but I'm terrified of reaching out for help and not getting what I need, but I'm also terrified of never getting help and never getting better, at some point it's gonna be too late, it's already starting to get there, so ik I need to go inpatient asap, but I'm paralyzed with fear, idk what'd be a good choice
That is a nice mental hospital not the ones Ive been to mines felt like prison no phone no remote for tv no forks or spoons to eat bathrooms were shared and disgusting
that's why i wanna check out rtc and not hospital places but I'm still worried, idk if there's good options that I could actually have access too
I spent 2 weeks in the Hospital. It saved my life. And you went before the police took you as they did me.

I know I need help but with all this corona virus and quarantine stuff I can’t get the the help I need and it’s really really frustrating because I built up all of my confidence to talk to someone and then lockdown happened and I don’t know if I’ll make it until I can get help but I will try I think all I can do right now is watch these videos so I know what to expect also you’re so so strong well done 💕💕x
This may sound cliche but you can get through this, I believe in you.. even if you find it hard to believe that for yourself. Luckily these days there a ton of online mental health resources so please don't let this virus stop you from getting the help you need, you are important and worthy! I'm not sure where you live but perhaps do some research on some help lines you could call. I also know that most psychologists are doing all their appointments over zoom/skype at the moment so that's always an option too. Stay Strong, it will get better and just take it one day at a time. Sending you lots of love 💕
allthingsbeautiful95 Thankyou so much I really appreciate it you’re channel has given me a lot of hope that it will get better i am really trying but as you know mental health is really hard and really complicated every time I have tried to get help before I can’t get it out you pretend you’re okay for so long that when you try and stop pretending you don’t know how I guess I’ll just have to try and find a way also you’re amazing and you’re so strong I love youuu💕x
Same
you are a brave and strong woman to post this. Really proud of you
I might go to the local hospital which is on the other side of town and get into the psych ward. Depression and paranoia running rampant
Here in the USA they don't let us have phones, computers, laptops etc. I think people would seek help more if they did.
There was a psych ward in Santa Clara, CA that did have computers and a phone line ☎️
There’s always a TV no matter where you are
That’s what I’m scared avout and what’s pushing me to not want the help. I need freedom and I need the ability to call my family and friends on my time. I’m scared to go
Man i should move to Canada or somewhere I can have my phone (addicted to my phone)
Yes they probably would . People in USA in mental health hospitals for the most part feel as though they are in jail or prison not a mental health hospital that should be there to help there mental health not make it worse, I personally experienced that after a horrible experience with being hospitalized with severe anorexia nervosa and actually had ptsd from it for years
@@amimartinez7507 yes but nurses choose what patients get to watch and ofcourse people all don’t like to watch the same type of shows. It’s like jail or prison, they alot of times have day room tv as well
I been wanting to get help :(
Having mental help sucks and I will never ask for help again I asked for help and lost my daughter I will never ever in my life all for help again even thou I no I need it I just won't ask for it anymore cause I don't want give anyone a reason to take my baby I have now so I deal with it in my own way without asking for the help
Depressed around her entourage. Not the depressed in that mental hospital bubble. Start getting anxious when she has to get back to her previous life... Don't know if I'm the only one who can see what I see
Thanks for sharing your truth, I went to a mental health hospital in July
Than you for making this video, I'm in the exact same situation that you were in and this really helped, I feel a lot better about going to the hospital now that I know other people have gone through the same thing
At 20:30 you sound JUST like Cara Delavingne!!!
This is what I'm going through right now
Do you live in the US? I am watching the video but wondering if this would be similar in the US? I’m afraid because it’s such a profitable industry here and I don’t know who to trust
exactly the dilemma I'm in too ;-;
Hi Amy, I’m currently inpatient in a private hospital in Australia and I really enjoyed watching your video!
I felt inspired to admit myself after watching your video, I completely understand the anxiety waiting to be admitted in the morning. But I watched your video and just thought to myself, if you can do it so can I. ♥️
I’m making some videos about my journey in hospital if you’re interested in watching! Or if not, thanks for putting your story out there.
Hope you’re doing well ♥️
I’m feeling depressed and don’t know how long I can go on in life.
I’m checking into rehab within the week for anxiety, depression and weed addiction. Extremely nervous right now. Mainly because I won’t be able to see my dog while I’m in. And my dog is my everything lol. But if don’t go in I’ll probably die before he does so gotta do what I gotta do.
whilst it made me sad seeing you cry, i found this really refreshing that you are so honest about your mental health thank u
Thanks for sharing your story. I live in complete sadness and it torments me! I live in sadness and I find no joy in anything.
I'm getting ready to go to a treatment center today
Ive been looking at different facilities…none of them hospitals but still inpatient but its so hard I’ve been struggling for a year now and a psychiatrist hasn’t helped….Im terrified cuz I’ve never been to a facility but i have to remain hopeful its for the best cuz I can’t go on like this…thanks for sharing
I am depressed but my parents dont know and i dont know what to do like should i check myself in a mental hospital
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
You’re so brave!!!! Always here if anyone needs to talk 💗💗💗💗
I appreciate you and yes mental health does not lend for consistency and you have to take care of yourself before you can give to others
I’ve cut myself 3 times not that deep but I dint know what to do I’m constantly sad and I hate life :( what do I do
Seek help and involve loved ones for support please. You are not alone
Mental health care in the uk is shit😢 there's no point of getting help here😢
Brave woman 🙌🏻
Hi! Thank you so much for your awesome video! I get nervous around some male doctors too. Do you still feel that way?
Also, are you allowed to disclose what place you went to?
Thank you!!
I salute your courage, you are not alone and most importantly you are greatly loved. Mental health is a great deal , hold on you are bouncing back healed and completely strong..God bless.
Thank you for this video. It was really good timing for me as I am going into an impatient unit this week. It took me a while to watch the video, I was so scared to see your experience because I am scared of mine. I know they are not comparable but knowing that you got so much out of it really helped me to know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm terrified but this video helped me realise it'll be okay. Thank you for sharing, I know it wouldn't have been easy at all. I'm proud of you. I'm glad I stuck around and I can't wait to hear more on this. Thanks lovely! Best of luck to you with your journey, thank you for helping mine
ahh you're so welcome! This honestly makes me so happy to hear that my video was able to help you in some way, that is exactly why I posted it and honestly makes it all worth it! 🙂
Just know that it is completely normal and understandable to be scared and nervous (believe me I should know) but I'm so proud of you for taking that step, that shows true strength, courage and bravery!
Thank you for sticking by me, I appreciate it more than I could express and I really hope that you have a healing and transformative experience yourself... you can do it! 💕💜
Let your 2020 will be Allthingsreal, raw and beautiful and sometimes scary, but we will get through this 🖤
Thank you lovely! Yes we certainly will, wishing you all the best for this new year 😊💜
missed you amy! so proud of u 🖤x
aww thank you! Missed you all too 💕 xx
I was in for about two weeks
I’m 13 and have been cutting for a year now, at the moment I have been feeling so terrible like every inch of my body feels heavy all the time. I honestly don’t want to be here anymore. I know I need help but I don’t know how to ask as nobody knows how much I’m struggling. Any advice?
All I can say is “Haha mental hospital here you go-“ I can relate also.
its not that big of a deal.
“Arthurmus the Destoryer”.
It’s crazy how liberating your room is. I live in the U.S. and my gosh is this a GENUINE SURPRISE on how much they let you have in your room.
Where I live, they didn’t let you have ANYTHING in your room unless it was clothes, group therapy papers, or your patient information papers. NOTHING ELSE. It’s genuinely surprising how much you were allowed to have what so many of the patients I’ve basically lived with, would beg for. My experience being at the Psych hospital was absolutely horrible. Screaming, arguing, banging on walls, yelling, crying, and I myself as well as other patients been physically attacked by another patient, because of negligent staff.
Here’s just a few things we can’t have.
-No eletronics of any kind. (They take your phone THE SECOND YOU WALK IN.)
-If you were transported to a psych hospital from a Regular hospital, you are to be transported by ambulance, in a hospital gown.
-Skin Checks, they make you take off your clothes in order to see you have self harm scars, count self harm scars, and check for possible infections of newer scars.
-The only things you’re allowed to bring in, is clothes.
-No clothing with strings. (With permission, they will cut them off, if you want to keep that piece of clothing.)
-No wired bras, bras with multiple straps, or has any considerable holes in it. (They check the inside of bras in case of trying to sneak things in)
-No access to even just VIEW outside the window you have in your room. You can only tell when the sun is out by the sun rising and shining on the window. You cant see outside. And there’s nothings on the window in the inside. No blinds or curtains.
-No hats.
-No jewelry.
-No tight clothing, or revealing clothing.
-No shaving.
-Even if you’re freezing cold, you’re only allowed ONE very thin blanket to sleep with.
-No hair ties.
-No Pen’s or pencils allowed, unless in group therapy sessions, but are only allowed when writing during groups. We write with crayons, everywhere else.
-No personal products of any kind. (They supply a 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash)
-No shoes, only crocs, or slides.
-No personal hygiene products. (Deodorant, Shampoo, conditioner, skin care, soap, hair product, etc.)
-No cords, stings, decorations, hooks, yarn, etc.
-When showering, PSA’s check on you every 15 minutes, and your head and feet are visible. You do have your privacy with a shower in the bathroom which has a curtain, not a door.
-You have a roommate that you share a room with, but will only EVER be with the same gender as you. So no need to worry about having a roommate be the opposite sex as you.
-Every piece of furniture you have in your room is bolted to the ground. (literally only your bed, your roommates bed, 2 wardrobes with no doors or drawers, and two nightstands with no drawers.) you obviously only have one, your roommate has the other. But that’s all that is in the room.
I might add more to this later, as there is ALOT YOU CANT HAVE, but it’s hard to think of everything all at once. Just think, basically ANYTHING you could possibly harm yourself with, ingest, choke on (intentionally), try to suffocate yourself with, or anything you could harm others with, just isn’t allowed. We have hardly anything.
I’ve been considering checking myself into a psychiatric hospital but i’m a minor and scared they’ll tell me i can’t go bc i need parental consent. talking to my parents about mental health is terrifying so i’m kind of stuck. advice would be great!
Hey, I noticed your name is coffee house? When I was unwell I was drinking about 9 cups of coffee a day. I didn't sleep much and I was full of anxiety. I don't drink caffeine now and I feel so much better. I also found comfort in jesus. I hope this helps. ❤️😊

Hi Amy I have checked myself into the hospital many times. It is very scary but its a good thing to do. Hang in there.
Hi I’ve tried and everyone says no ? I’m over 18 and have been trying for maybe 2 years now to get help and they wouldn’t even help me after knowing I was seeing a councilor and not getting better any help?
I want to go bc my anxiety is bad I can’t go any where I haven’t been anywhere in a whole year I can’t get in the car without panicking I’m surprised I’m not severely depressed😭I manage but the thoughts of kms is dang near every day now bc reality is kicking In my 19th bday is on the 15th and haven’t even lived as a 18 year old
so what's the diff between mental health hospital and residential treatment center, is it the surroundings like rtc more homey and mental hospital basically hospital but for mental health specifically? You also called it rehab, which ppl interchange that and rtc, so mental hospital also interchangeable terms then? How does one even choose where to go, or is it more of take the risk and just go somewhere to see what helps? I don't know where to start looking or what to look for, I'm completely disorganized and anxiety induced, I can't sort stuff out n I'm terrified of seeking help, I don't trust it...
Btw I really appreciate the time u took to make this vid on such a serious and personal subject, it's eye opening and rlly helpful to hear about someone's own experiences and I've always had so much unfathomable anxiety that holds me back from life, I completely understand being scared of such a drastic change too and the uncertainty whether it'd be helpful or not. I'm glad you had a great experience there though and that it really helped you, that's awesome.
I'm feeling exactly the same I had surgery on Friday and now I'm like we're do I go what do I do I'm in so much pain I just want to feel better thankyou for this video ❤️ xx

I hope you are doing better. You are very inspiring. I have had mental issues for about a decade. Have been medicated most of the time. I started psychological counseling three years ago. I was over medicated from that time until recently. I would never recommend a family doctor administering psychiatric meds. It is not their specialty. I now have a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is in charge of my meds. Weaning from everything with the exception of my mood stabilizer was difficult. It has been one week since I entered the ER at my local hospital. It was an awakening experience. My fear was being treated as a crazy person. That was so far from what happened. Caring and sympathetic to my situation was what I experienced. I am Bipolar I followed up with my psychologist and NP the following day. Amongst the 3 of us I have admitted myself into outpatient treatment which will start in 2 weeks. I am not allowing myself to think about what could be. I will take it as it comes. Even though I have a super support system to be around familiars and to talk to people that understand is something that gives me hope.
Thank you so much for making this video. I stumbled across this and thought it was extremely helpful! Thanks 🙏🏻
Just come across your channel. We are super passionate about mental health. I know this video is 2 years old but I hope you are doing better
Ashwagandha is best known for its stress-lowering effects. The medicinal herb appears to help lower levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by your adrenal glands in response to stress.
check yourself in and not out depends how it is set up for some person. corruption.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm going through the same issues. Your story gives hope to mentally ill people🙏
Bless you. ❤️
I I found you through obvious search. I don't know what your normal content has been about, but you have nothing to apologize for that's not a place I want to thank you for doing this video because I've been struggling lately
Oh my golly your video is so professional., also beautiful story/journey. I'm trying to share my story as well. I just added my first video today telling a bit about my journey and what I've experienced in life. You are so inspiring and a true inspiration. I love women empowering themselves with their story and embracing their journey. Keep being you because you are amazing.
i’m questioning asking my mom to take me to the er tonight. but she is kinda against people with mental illness but i sort of feel like i want to get help. i have a doctors appt next week but idkk. i feel like i’m doing it for attention kind of because i always feel like that when i have any sort of issue in my life where i think something is wrong with me. i’m not sure if that makes sense and yes. i’m 14 and i think i have anorexia/binge eating disorders and anxiety, but depression is questionable.
As silly and stupid as it sounds, I’m terrified of not having my phone and laptop and switch. Like I’m n on my phone 24/7 but that’s one thing I need to have is the ability to text my friends and family on my own time and not the hospitals. I’m 18 and I want that freedom and I feel I’d do much worse if I didn’t have that.
Would have loved hearing what its like to call and be walked through getting help. Thanks for sharing
I’m the same way about doctors. I prefer females.
getting off medsq is hard but i think get used to them after a while n they stop working we dont get anh therapy in pur hospital whitch is like they just trt loput u on meds honest unless ur uber well off the mentdl health hospitals near me aeful so glad u feel better its hell vieng anxious n deprsesed id check in tbh now if i dignt know that be awful no therapy nn yeah thp u fo get instustionaled buut you are far bettee than we clme put here truly xx
Great job, the pre ramble was excruciating. When you stop taking meds the withdrawal is 100x worst each time.
So luck I want to go in one but I’m scared I don’t want to have roommates plus I don’t want my dear phone taking away
i've lost my memory card a few times too
i'm 16 how do i check myself in
"The walls are paper thin" 😂😂
I really hope you find your passion for youtube, or life for that matter. I am at the beginning of the journey that you have so masterfully laid out. It gives me courage to know that I am not alone and that you don’t have to be anxious about what’s on the other side. Keep advocating for mental health. We really need it in this COVID era.
I missed you 💗
aww missed you too! Thanks for sticking by me 😊💕
I would go to the mental hospital if they let us have our phone in america, or id settle with a private room with a tv

I’m 18 and I’m in foster care I’ve been doing well from an outside perspective I’m getting adopted soon and dcf is finally starting to trust me to go off to college and I’m not in a good space mentally I can’t stop bingeing I haven’t showered in over a month and I know I’m hitting rock bottom but I can’t risk dcf taking away my ability to go to college it scares me that I can lose so much yet possibly gain support if I go to the hospital
I hope you are doing better now 💗

This video is one of the realist videos I’ve watched in so long. So proud of you gorgeous. ⭐️
aww thank you so much! Was scared to post it because being vulnerable can be scary but it's a big part of life! Hope you're having a beautiful day 🙂💜
so different hospital then here you get a shared room with a bed and a night stand and a shelf thats it tv in common area. your allowed your phone or tablet but you have to charge them in a locked room. nothing with cables allowed in your room
Really appreciate you sharing this. Many people feel the same but are scared of sharing. The point at I got was not depression but not happy either. Not knowing my purpose. Just hovering in between. I still don't know. From your low you reach your high. I'm just flying in-between. I know it's midlife crises. I know it's fine. But I have no clue to continue. Anyone in their '60 who can tell me the hell which I am approaching? If I can advise my 20 year old I would say : Nobody gives a shit about you! Just ask that girl out! Dance like none is watching! You boss is just as scared as you are!
Now anybody in their 60 give a 40 year old some tips? Pretty pease?
Aww thank you! I know that point you're talking about where you're not in a full blown depression but you're just not happy (and may feel like there's no joy in your life). I think this is quite a common thing when one reaches that middle age time in their lives and it can bring up all sorts of emotions and uncertainty.
I've come to learn that uncertainty isn't necessarily a bad thing and it's okay to not have all the answers. I know it can be so hard and frustrating but just try trust in the timing of things, take as many opportunities as possible and say yes to things because you never know who you'll meet and you may discover your purpose along the way. Because when nothing is certain, anything is possible.. and even though this can be scary, it can also be an exciting concept! But if you want to seek some help with this, a life coach could be a good way to go.
And that is some really good advice for your 20 year old and advice I think we could all take on board! So I thank you for that 😊
Good luck with it all and thank you for stopping by and watching my video 💕
Don't cry,we are with you and most importantly God has your back. Remember God said in the bible be anxious for nothing. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,let your request be made known unto God. You are unique and loved .God bless
John 3:16
King James Version

no hate, but tbh depression isn't a reason to go into a ward like that.
Yes it is, why wouldn’t it be??
Natalie she’s suicidal of course she needs to go
@@oliviaacosta6239 ive been suicidal ever since i was about 13 and never talked to anyone about it but..
it's a mental health hospital... ofc mental health is a reason to go... that's what it's for

depression = mental health
