Trying to hang in just a little while longer. I have a business that is about 90% wedding gifts. Business was almost non-existent last year. Didn't have enough to pay my utility bills over the winter. Here in WI it's illegal to shut people off during the winter. I'm supposed to get a stimulus check shortly, if I do I'll be OK otherwise they shut me off in April. I feel fortunate though since I still have a roof and something in the cupboards. For now, I'm watching Jackie to take my mind off my troubles. Thanks Jackie.
Struggling with restlessness, got life on the brain. Anxiety has always been a problem for me. I ♥️ you Jackie and all the grains! Love how you make videos like this. And I wish you well with your surgery.
I have been exhausted working 6pm-430am and not going to bed till 9-10am 😅 but all has been overall well considering. Hope you're taking care of yourself too!
I started a teaching at a new school last week! Everything I was told isn't right. These kids need extra extra love! Lesson plans out we are just going to learn how to like each other!
I know what it feels like to stand on the brink of giving up. Just remember, you're not alone! There are so many people willing to be there for you if you just reach out to them! Hoping it'll get better for you soon! Lots of love from Germany!
My mental health has actually improved since quarantine, so that shows how terrible I was before. But we can’t have band live at school yet, and when your outside, wearing special masks, bell covers and entire body bags for your instruments, I’m pretty sure it’s safe... so I’m a little pissed
Jackie have faith and think positive! Some of the treatment process is believing it will work. Your mind is very powerful it can play a strong role in how well your body receives the medicine. I love 💕 that you are here for all of us. Support from people is empowering!
Hi Jackie, you inspired me to start my own channel. I’m mainly a diamond painting channel and I’m loving it. I love watching all you’re videos and I don’t have the same condition as you but I have endometriosis and know how much being in pain can get you down. Making videos has really helped keep my mind of things. Thank you for all you’re videos. On both channels I love watching them all xx
Stressed and frustrated been dealing health and can't figure out what's wrong go to rheumatologist in May due to blood test saying I have inflammation and been having severe joint pains.... also hav GI apt I think in July as I think have IBS also ugh. Been dealing with horrid fatigue and idk why if its Hashimoto related since I have that or if it's from something else idk. Sigh just wish I wasn't tired and could sleep for once. Hard to function at times lol especially being a mom of 3 it's exhausting 😴😩
Thank you for being here for us like we are for you, been going through some really tough things. I am really mentally and physically healing (surgery).
Yay! Jackie I'm so glad you liked everything and it reached you intact, we really had fun putting it all together for you, I'll forward the video to Riley so he definitely sees it! X
Hey Jackie and fellow grains! Leaving this comment to say thank you. Suffice it to say that Jackie, Jazza, Chloe, Moriah, Rae, and Bailey have all been lights in the darkness for me. And the artist I've surpressed inside is finally coming out of that darkness. So thank you and all the grains this is an amazing community, even though I don't talk much I know if I do I have nothing to fear.
Trying to hang in there. Recently officially 100% disabled with a few chronic pain conditions, joint, back, migraine and mental issues. Finally getting some help for some of it. Also trying to be super mom for my family. Trying to stay positive and not focus on the negatives. You definitely help. Hope you’re able to start feeling better.
I need to celebrate! My family got picked to adopt three cats! The mama is named Alice, and we picked Oliver for her male kitten. We're still discussing a name for her female kitten (she's currently Queen, but we don't think the kitten should be Queen).
You could name her Delilah, after Freddie Mercury (lead singer of Queen) his favorite cat he owned. That song Delilah was about his fav kitty! :D If you're naming her Queen bc the band, or if yall like them. congrats tho! Animals are family
I have been a bit down and out but I have been coping better with my mental health. My dogs have been a lot of help with me coping with it all. Less of me. I am glad that you are able to get the help you need. Please send that gorgeous Birb of yours a hello from me and I hope to see his attitude in more videos. I miss the SALT-E-BIRB.
Currently trying not to sink deeper down the dark hole im in... showing a strong face for my mom who is battling cancer in the middle of hard times in the world is just scary... my dear friend and brother is stuck in a civil warzone... my little sister is falling into depression i can see it but she’s not talking about it and its heart breaking to see her fading away... my big sister is going deff and im trying to keep her spirits up.. all the time while I’m fighting with dark thoughts when im alone at night this is without my own health problems im currently ignoring >
It sounds like you have it really hard right now, and that sucks. As you care for your family please remember to take some time to care for yourself. Seek out an adult or friend to talk to you. You are not alone.
Maybe you need to hear this: Please take care of yourself. If you can't do it for you, do it for your sister or your mom, who seem to need you. How are you going to help them if you break under your own problem. Besides: you deserve it, you deserve the world. Again, don't know if you needed to hear this. But it is 100% meant as I said. Hoping it'll be better for you soon! Lots of love from Germany to you!
I actually got depression from being contained I'm really sad and I just want to hug my dad's always working on the family some money and my mom is sick
Autumn, I get that and you're not the only one, this situation is not normal and it's ok to feel this and good that you talk about it ❤️ lots of hugs ❤️
I’m stressed, my representative payee didn’t fill out the ssi form we get every three years and now I not getting my benefits. On top of that I have a pinched nerve in my back and causes me pain all down my hip and leg and making my foot go numb
I have been working through my depression and OCD, and I have found my way into crafting, drawing, sculpting, and as well as watching your channel which has improved both my OCD and depression significantly. I found your channel around 4 years ago where I was really suffering and all I have to say is that the past four years have been the best :D
Lauren, that's awesome to hear! I also have OCD and an anxiety disorder and doing something crafty also helped me lots. Wishing you the best and keep working through it ! I believe in you! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
I have been down in the dumps recent, stressed and just tired really. Trying to keep my head up even if its hard to do so. Hoping everyone who has had a hard time can find the peace and happiness soon! Hugs to all who need it
School just ended for the year (Japan ends in March) and Im glad to be rid of one of my 6th graders. He really brought the class down. But enough of him. I'm well. Spring is nearly here. I'm hoping to go home for the summer but PCR tests are like 30,000 yen (300USD) plus plane ticket and I'd only get to be home, in quarantine, for 2 weeks before I need to return to quarantine before returning to school. But haven't seen my family in almost two years. I miss them so much. I have my cats, so at least I'm not alone.
I'm on the autism spectrum and been going through a lot of mental issues lately. My new boyfriend is very supportive of me and I'm not used to someone treating me like he does. Usually, i get told my venting and emotions are a burden by romantic partners or that im a failure, a mistake, and that my opinions don't matter and I'm lesser. (my last relationship before him was very much like this, and he used his platform as a twitch streamer to send his server and people to attack the one friend i vented to ONCE and he still does. But I cant defend her bc they blocked me day 1.) So it's very hard learning to let someone love me, and let someone do it without me constantly apologizing for being myself. And to not see myself so negatively and feel like a burden and like my opinions and my body doesnt matter unless its how they like it.
I want you to know that I know you are trying your best. Just give it some time... everything is gonna be alright. Lots of love and hugs from a fellow grain of salt ❤️
OMG. I am SO SIMILAR in my life right now! My primary isn't autism (though every male member of family is definitely ASD). My primary is ADHD. I am SO TRAINED to be withdrawn and apologetic. Every single person in my life has, at some time or permanently, pushed me away as being "just too much" (possible exception my dad 💞.) My new bf, who I was NOT looking for like this because I'd given up, is so amazingly accepting and supportive. It's a little disorienting, isn't it?😅 It's a wonderful opportunity, I think, to continue to "blossom". His support helps me be strong when I need, even when he's not with me. Thought - what our boyfriends see in us is ALWAYS THERE!! We are actually just as worthy as THEY see in us, even when we are with others who would put us down and keep us there. Remember that! 🥰❣
By no means is it EVER OK to put someone down for venting frustrations. My ex was like yours. I couldn't talk about the stuff I was geeky about because he 'didn't care'. I couldn't talk to my friends about our martial issues because he didn't like anyone knowing our business. I felt isolated from friends and family. He would GO THROUGH MY PHONE. He got mad when I put a lock on it. I had to resort to snap chat to talk to a friend so he wouldn't see our messages. My new bf is like yours. So much more considerate and let's me geek out knowing I am not trying to get him hyped up too. It's very strange being in a healthy relationship after a bad one, and I'm super happy for you!!! 🤗
Hey salt shaker family!. I know we all are going through shit, but we are grains of salt and we fight our monsters together! I hope everything gets better soon and I know that no matter what, we are all here for each other. ❤️
I'm actually doing really well! I feel like I'm getting scheduling between my business, my family, and my corporate job finally in a good order. Thanks for checking in with us, Jackie! Hope you're feeling listened to and validated as well! ~Raven
Aww ya depression sux, but also this situation in the world is very stressful and doesn't help the situation. Remember people is here for u. Even if sometimes it doesn't feel like it. If u have too use social media to find positive feed back or to rant out ur stress.
How is your back? Do you have an appointment in Germany. I have also problems with my back an leg and know that there are a lot german doctors who are able to help.
Me and my friend are going through hardships right now. Her grandpa is very sick and I can feel her pain. She has been more quiet now. I was scared to tell her our best friend is moving. I was more heartbroken than anyone. They were the two pillars of me that kept me happy. Now they are crumbling. Watching ur videos made me feel comfort. I am scared to move on. I want things to be the same. I hope ur surgery goes well. It is hard to go forth, but you have to push on. But it is okay to be scared. I am. Hope u have a better day than me.
Sounds like your friend needs you more now than ever. Even if she is more distant and quiet, let her know that you care about her and are there for her is she needs you.
Do they watch nerdecrafter as well? or NerdeJackie of course, perhaps, you could all meet here and leave each other inside jokes, and notes. Secret instant messages, :) I care about all three of you and hope you keep sending friendship to each other.
Hey Jackie, There's a Stem Cell clinic in Maryland, it's called Advanced Stem Cell Therapy Baltimore, also there's a place in Glen Burnie , MD called Regeneration Centers of Maryland, or one in Virginia called Dr. Adam Fidel's Stem Cell Solutions Center
Thank you for asking, Jackie. I'm currently struggling balancing my emotional and physical health. Really bad tooth aches, can't afford to see a dentist for a year now bc of covid, school is stressful af, and to top all of that, I need to do all the chores too. I don't mind doing it but everyone here just leaves their shit behind everytime, and if I leave it alone, just piles up for weeks even months. Our country has so many covid cases, and I think sooner or later we'll go into lockdown again. I'm so tired, and drained, I miss my friends, I miss taking walks, and buying groceries without any worry. Really boring stuff, and not too big of a deal, but I've been cooped up here for so long, and being forced to feel everything all at once just sucks. Seriously, Jackie. Thank you for making quarantine better. I hope anyone reading this have a nice day/evening.
been so stress out due to i just lost my job and i have so many responsibility due helping my mom and my step-dad who has alztimers and it has been so hard for my family. and my anxiety disorder has been even rougher on me it taking its toll that i don't want to leave my room. i lovr watching your videos it makes my day
Shiny Celebi, I also have an anxiety disorder so I get that feeling and the situation that you're in is rough. Please take good care of yourself and see help if you need it, I helped me though some tough times. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️

I had the worst childhood and me reading this made my heart smile and cry at the same time. You're an awesome mother that deeply for their children. But also, please take care of yourself and, if you can, please find some help of your depression. I have had mental health issues of my own and the help I received really helped me forward. Wishing you the best in the world and hugs ❤️
I am a mom of a little one (2yo) and I suffered from severe post partum depression. No one took it seriously but my midwife. I got help and am so much better now. Still easily overwhelmed but I manage. 😅 Please take care of yourself and get help if possible. You need to take care of yourself to take care of your children. They will be happy for you, I quarantee it! Sending you lots of love!
I am stressed due to so much work I have been doing but I am making a new drawing to reduce that stress. If you are wondering what I am drawing, I am drawing Cherry Blossom from the latest anime, "SK8 the Infinity". I recommend you watch it because this is a skateboarding anime animated by the same company for MHA with amazing animation, character designs, and a lot of best boys uwu
I'm so sorry to hear that you are stressed but you found a really good creative way to let of some steam. I hope you get less stressed soon and hugs ❤️
I am currently not okay my stomach is on fire. I broke my headphones. I am also having a bit of a depression attack due to stress and worry. But watching your video did help me smile just a bit in this bad day
I have anxiety and health problems, but honestly, if my headphones broke I'd be a big mess. I love them and I got them in a drugstore years ago...no name brand on them. They're irreplaceable!
I went out for the First time in over a year last Thursday to get my First vaccine jab. for anyone struggling in lockdown there's hope and its coming, I'm still stuck inside with chronic pain but I now know SaltyCrafter can 'purchase' her craft kits a little more safely! and my at-risk friends are now a little safer. x love the videos x
Thank you for helping provide herd immunity for those of us who cannot get the vaccine (health reasons). Hugs... hope the pain stays manageable... chronic pain is... draining, to put it nicely.
Oh I was very sad today , I was having a very bad day , thanks for your support . More than half of my family is toxic , my father died 3 years ago and when I was 6 my parents divorced because of my fathers sisters and my fathers brothers wife but my mom still loves them all . Now I am living with my fathers sisters who are not married and are above 60 , I am 16 now and every body is so secretive and weird , I don't feel good , but I have to live with them cause my mom can't afford to keep me but my father was a wealthy man and before his death he had all of his property on his sisters name and I can get it when I am 18 , my fathers brothers has two sons who are 10 years older than me and are trying to keep our right
Jackie is the sweetest! She is always making me smile especially when I am having a bad day I enjoy her videos. On top of that, the salt is contageous :D
Hi! I have a sh!t ton of homework. I'm stressed, today had a history and biology tests, tomorrow we have a music kinda essay/thingy (I got ready for it). All I want to do is sleep all day, eat and I. Need. Hugsssss... I hope everyone's having a good day!❤
HUGS!! School will be over soon enough and you will be able to recharge over spring break. Even if you can't travel anywhere you can pamper yourself with a pizza+ice cream+movie night in.
Hey Jackie I hope everything goes great with your back issues and you get the help you need to make you feel better soon, I know how it is having back issues.. I myself am now 52 and found out that my scoliosis has come back and I hadn’t had it since my early teens, I do however work in an environment that doesn’t help with the issue either, I work in the hotel industry and make a lot of beds and bend over all day.. I also have an over active thyroid that has been acting up lately, so I’ve been put on a new dosage.. I also have to go and see a cardiologist( well first app is on the phone).. cause I can’t go up stairs without feeling winded, don’t know why a cardiologist but that’s the doctors advise, oh and as well I found out that my lungs are deforming and the doctor doesn’t understand why that is going on, however he believes it may have something to do with the mask.. Take care 🤗 Oh yeah, I was surprised when I saw you were on just now, happy surprise too..
My almost 14 year old dog was really sick and died a month ago so I've been very stressed, but I'm starting to be less stressed and more inspired for my art so at least that's good 🥺
I'm so sorry for your loss. Animals are family and that hurts. stay strong, and so proud you're taking care of your stress and yourself with your art! :D Your doggy wouldn't have wanted you to be sad. They would've wanted you to be happy and remember the good times with them.
Im so sorry. Losing a beloved pet is never easy. I will say this though, that it gets easier to deal with the loss as time goes on. Whenever you think of your pup, focus on the good times you had together as you had far more good days than that one F-in crap day at the end.
So sorry I know what you feel because my dog also passed away just yesterday she was a girl so I miss her a lot I was crying yesterday but everything is alright.
I've been sick for over a year now. Had a surgery... It hasn't gotten better. I'm starting to get scared. I've lost over 60lbs not doing anything. However all that a side I'll be fine. I love your videos 😍. Thank you and I hope your health improves as well.
Hi Jackie doing fine apart from my work place is closing down at th end of next month but should be in another job soon all been well so I will keep my fingers crossed. From Doncaster UK x
I am actually doing wonderfully , today is my 21st birthday and a few days ago my brother took the time to bring my other siblings and some of my friends together to watch my favorite musical Phantom Of The Opera 25th anniversary addition in a local theater. So I am on a high of gratitude and every time I think about it I smile. Best day of my life. And for all who are hurting and going through stuff I will be praying for you.
I almost dont dare to say it but today i am doing very well, i have no idea what tomorrow brings but i am taking today as an almost perfect one. I wish everybody at least 1 easy day a week.
Hey! I don’t have much, but I this month, I have been really stressed writing a 3 page essay, making a slideshow, and a poster board on a science experiment. Those were ok, but because of that, my math scores have been in the B-C zone. I am in GATE ELA, History, and Science yet my dad only really cares on my maths score. Also not being able to go to school and meet with friends and family, is really hard. I also took art class and that helps me vent out and cool down. I love watching your videos and they always make me smile!😊❤️
Believe in yourself! Remember there's a reason your in those classes. If you're struggling talk to your teachers, counselors. I've called meetings for my daughters with teachers who were too hard on them many times. My girls struggled with learning challenges. Don't be afraid to ask for help from school staff.
I had those never-enough parents too. I learned to achieve things for myself only! Other adults- my parents friends, my teachers- thought I was awesome, so I listened to THEM.
I'm feeling very much like I'm stuck on a path that I don't want to be on in life and can't change it. I'm trying but nothing has worked so far and I'm getting older and I'm feeling like time(and my energy) for big changes is getting shorter. Anyway thanks for asking Jackie, I hope You're ok! You're awesome and a creative inspiration.
I worked REALLY hard on an essay, put all my effort into it, and worked half of my weekend only to get a C and now having to redo it. I'm also working on my insecurities and self confidence. Right now I have an amazing girlfriend that is very supportive and kind. And my mental state isn't very "okay" And I'm also working on that. Thanks for letting all of us share what we are struggling with, it gives some sort of relief. Love you Jackie :)
Pain is a daily thing. I have hashimos, joint disease, severe arthritis from head to toe, nerve damage in my arms and legs, sleep disorder, endometrial cancer survivor, and several more issues. The thing is I can't take most pain meds since I have allergy to most pain meds. So pain is an all day every day pain.
Big hugs! Pain is difficult to deal with constantly. Do your best to seek the positive in your life where you can. Pain and depression go hand and hand. Trying to find a single ray of sunshine can brighten your whole day.
I hear that! My ulcers and allergies and just my weird body chemistry means I can't take pain relievers. I love my hot water bottles! Sending a happy day to you (concentrates real hard)
I’m sorry your feeling depressed. The US is really failing us all in getting mental health support. My anxiety is terrible. If you need to talk feel free to message me.
Currently I’m not feeling alright due to depression. I feel like giving up, things are getting hard, it’s exhausting. Schools stressful and I’ve been trying to hide my emotions around people...
Covid Fatigue is REAL. So tired of everything! Got my vaccine (both doses) in hope of getting back to normal. The hardest thing was losing my mom to Covid and not having a “normal” funeral . I’m so GRATEFUL for Jackie! I hope your health improves!
I've lost my aunt Last year due to covid, it was really bad not being able to say goodbye. I don't know if you're religious, if you are, I hope it can help thinking she's in a good place and in peace. If you're not, I hope you can remember her best, may the good memories keep her alive in your heart. Sending virtual hug \o/
So sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard it must have been to not being able to say goodbye to your mom in a normal funeral. Wishing you the best and hoping we can go back to normal as soon as possible. Sending lots of hugs ❤️❤️❤️
@JeanineBangley I'm so sorry you couldn't get to say goodbye to your mom :( but surely she's watching over all the time P.s. it's true. Post covid fatigue is real, and it's awful, it's been 8 months for me :(
I am actually doing okay. I found an affordable therapist and had my first session yesterday. It went quite well. I think I might get the help I need finally.
I have testing, my little brother got quarantined, I feel like crap, I am stressed because I am moving schools soon, My parents work too much and I stress about them. Love everyone and hope you are having an amazing day Edit: thank you so much for all of the likes 🙏🥺 even though you might not think it does much it does so much 😌
Maybe you can see the new school as a new opportunity? I switched schools too during the time I was in school and it was the best thing I did in my life! And remember : you are not responsible for your parents happiness. Hope you feel better soon, lots of love from Germany!
Don't give up friend. Moving schools sucks but maybe you will meet a bunch of super awesome people at your new school. 🙏❤️🤗 I'm sure your parents feel so blessed to have a kid who actually cares and worries about their wellbeing. I don't have the words to make anything better, but know your not alone.
I’m a single mother with high functioning anxiety, things are rough from time to time, some days I just can’t keep up! But I love being a mother, wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world
Can anyone explain to me why the kindest people seem to suffer so much? Jackie, your message had me tearing up. Thank you for reaching out! You are such a blessing and I truly hope you can heal and feel healthier. Gentle hugs to everyone right now. You are not alone.
Kindest people are those who have known profound pain, so they could never inflict pain on those they love, and they know of empathy and compassion ;) It's great to find people like her, let's all be much more compassionate!
I was injured yesterday. I have 4 large dogs but one stays inside. I was taking the other 3 dogs out to their pen and the neighbors cat ran by. I was dragged a good 30ft before i could control them. My stomach muscles and arms are extremely sore. My dogs usually ignore the cat. Have no clue what triggered them. So im working on a crochet project.
Not as good as I could be. Anxiety has been bad and I just feel like I'm going through the motions. I'm planning on going out for a walk as soon as I'm done pretending to be logged in for class (aka logged in but sitting on the bed doing nothing). You always brighten my day (as do sika and angel).
I really hope you can find yourself a little on that walk! Maybe make it a regular thing to do for yourself after class? Maybe that will keep you from feeling like you only lolive for the sake of existing and remind you that we all have our place in the world and that place would be terribly empty an black without you! Lots of love from Germany!
I am doing great, my final exams just ended, now I am on holiday and call my friends every day. So life is pretty good, but I am a little stressed about the youtube channel that I am creating with my friends and get irritated when they don’t cooperate and try to have some fun and play games instead. Thank you for acknowledging us and our feelings and making us feel that we matter to you, it really does mean a lot
I have been struggling with Hashimoto’s for 20 years and couldn’t get doctors to treat me. In October I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and just before Christmas had my thyroid out. Through my thyroidectomy they actually found that I had Hashimoto’s for a very long time based on the state of my thyroid. I’m now on Synthroid and feel better than I’ve felt in a very long time.
There's a physician in Toledo Ohio who does stem cell transplants for back pain. I was looking into it for my mom. ❤️ As far as how I'm feeling? Not great. Feeling pretty darn lonely and overwhelmed, and my self esteem is non-existent.
Honestly? I've been having a hard month. It's the anniversary of both my parents passing. My mom died from having a rare form of dementia and my dad died a week later from stage 4 colon cancer. It's been hard dealing with all the past year without them.
Big hugs!! You can do it! It sounds really hard to get through, but the sun will shine again. The heart ache will remain but get smaller each year. The sweet memories will become larger and the smiles will return. This has been a really rough year, just hang in there!
So sorry for your loss. Sometimes it's ok to feel not ok sometimes. Only just remember that there is always light, even in the darkest times(as a wise men once said😉). Lots of hugs ❤️❤️❤️
I am watching your video with my 8 yr old granddaughter. Trying not to cry my eyes out. I feel so alone. I honestly have no friends. Due to my crps chronic pain. It's near impossible to leave my house. My van is dying so I will have to lean on my daughter for rides every where. They are waiting for the world to be safe again so I can move out. I'm no longer needed since my twin granddaughters are 8. Being in pain and bipolar ptsd anxiety isn't helping. My granddaughter saw a tear and told me she loves me more than anyone and is my best friend. Sadly her and her sister are my only friends. I'm crying out for help. Thank you for your videos they help me smile.
Love you jackie. Having a bit of a rough time. My big brother has been in the hospital since last Saturday and im still worried even though they say he'll be ok💙💙💙
I just love this channel nerde Jackie is amazing!!! I wait for your videos every week. I need you in my life, helps with everything going on with me. Please keep posting, I will always be a grain for you.
I am having a hard day emotionally but am using the self care techniques that I have learned in my support group....the weather is really nice out today, I would like to say early spring but I live in Nova Scotia the weather can change on a dime.....I do enjoy your channel so much, on my really down days I will go and watch some of your early videos where you are crafting....is there any chance that you will do a little more of a throw back where you do a clay project or resin tutorial....today is really an off day for me....pain is consuming me today so self care it is.....Love you Lots and share the love with Sika....
Honestly, I’m not the best right now. And that takes a lot for me to say. I’m working on healthily emotionally detaching from the man I’m dating so I don’t get hurt as bad this time. But Jackie, we all wish the best for you and hope you can get some relief.
i love your videos because for me it is a way for me to take my mind off all the bad stuff in the world and you always are positive all the time me and my mom are huge fans
Im Exhausted. I don't have any family left and doing everything on my own it feels like. Im wlaking behind the facts and it makes me depressed. I sit behind the computer too long, for hours on end... and my back hurts because of that. Love artist life ugh. I never been to a chiro or massage, but I literally have knots in my muscles sometimes yikes. My body makes cracking sounds, I think im just getting old... im 32 I used to be very active, riding and training horses all day, being at the barn from 5 am in the morning till 10/11 pm in the evening.... Done this for years. I miss my active horse life but I can't afford a horse anymore. Sometimes Im so done. It was Tracer from Overwatch btw.
Marinka(also Dutch??) So sorry to hear that your not feeling well right now. Isn't there a way that you can ride an horse in a stable around your living area? My best friend also doesn't own a horse but still can go horse back riding regularly, so maybe that's an option? Also, please take good care of yourself (mentally and physically) and sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I'm absolutely mentally and physically at a breaking point. The pain I'm in constantly has stole my spirit, the things I love, and my adventure. I'm hoping some things pull through this year and I can relieve my pain. I have degenerative disc disease (osteoarthritis) I'm a thyroid cancer survivor leaving me with hypothyroid, pcos, fibromyalgia, hydradentitis supperativa, something is wrong with my neck. I'm waiting on my results from that. Ontop of that there's other stuff but they don't cause physical pain... anyway I try to keep pushing through... but someday it's hard. I find myself grieving who I was before cancer... it's like she died. I'll quit complaining. I try to take enjoyment from the smallest things... like... I look forward to your videos. You make me laugh and we have alot of the same interests and do the same weird stuff so that's awesome too. You are very kind and are hilarious. You like to say you're not beautiful but you are! I really hope things work out for you. You deserve it.
Hi Jackie ...Whenever I see a notification for a new video from you ,I am watching Asap 😊❤️✨Hope the best for you in your health journey & Medical situation.Also,to anyone reading this ,I'm sending out positive vibes for you too.✨💫
Honestly this whole thing has been very hard I haven't seen my friends in a long time since March 13th was the last time I saw my friends it was the last day of physical school. Often I try to contact my friends but I feel like they are always "busy" I get sometimes people are but not ALL the time. Not only that but 3 years ( almost 4 now) my brother passed away. And now just this last November I lost my grandma. Who I lived with( with my mom as well) but it was so hard. I miss people and that's coming from me who is antisocial with people who I don't know. Edit: however my mom is here for me and I couldn't be more happy that she is. She is so supportive of me and everything I'm doing with my art I'm so glad I have her!
I'm kinda depressed. In my country this Covid situacion is still bad. I'm at last year at high school and my final exams are closing (my country wants us to completed - no excuses to pandemic). I haven't been in school since Chrismas holidays. :c I miss my teachers, I miss my friends, my school life and also I'm hella stressed. If you have final exams as well, I wish you luck! For us students is this situacion pretty bad. Also big thanks to the teachers! Thank you that you are still with us, offering help and guidence!
I know that I'm this random person on the internet but I want you to know that I know you are trying your best. I hope that everything gets better soon and all your stress goes away. We are grains of salt and we fight off our monsters together! Love and hugs from a fellow grain ❤️
I'm currently still working on my insecurities because I hated wearing specific clothes but now I'm very happy with myself :3 Edit 7th.12.23: Guys I realized that I'm just trans
It's a journey to love yourself and I'm proud of you even though I don't know you for going out of your comfort zone and finding something that makes you happy!
Im stressing because i found out my mom has dementia and it has been really hard on me and my family! I hope you are doing ok Jackie? Watching your video right now!
Dementia is so hard to deal with. My grandma has it to. I haven't seen her in over two years (we live in different countries) and I worry she has forgotten who I am. Hopefully, you caught it early enough that she won't get really bad like my grandma. Do remember that no matter what she says, she does love you. And she can't control what she can't remember. Its hard but good luck.
I believe everyone is exhausted of this situation... I hope you can find ways to rest your body and mind, and also to avoid The negativity in your work place! Sending virtual hug \o/
This is the perfect time to post your video because i am an Indian so this is the perfect time ❤❤❤because usually you post when it is the night time ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Jackie, I'm always happy when you upload a video because you make me smile or even Lol . I'm 45 from Belgium and i speak Dutch french and english. I love your crafts and i love you for being you. I' m almost always dressed in black but a soft spot for pink, unicorns, dragons and skulls . love horror Movies and Cats and have a chonky black and white cat (male) called Pruts who is my everything. But i'm a big woman and suffer from backpain daily but Not as much as you so i wish the treatment you choose will help you with your problems. For the rest i'm very lonely because i don't have a lot of friends and i have no contact with the family. Enough for now.. Cant Wait for your next video..
I just came day before from surgery because my illness and now nothing else I can do than just lay down and watch youtube. So happy your videos, you really help me get thinking something else than pain etc. (Sorry bad english.. not number one for me😁) Greetings from Finland👋).
I've been okay. I have been suffering from depression unable to see a therapist. it has been hard. Also Jakie I hope you have a good day same with you all reading this
I've been feeling really down lately first because of the stress of exams and my anxiety has gotten worse because i really have no one to talk to in my house yeah i can call my friends but it just isn't the same like idk if it makes sense
No, it makes perfect sense. Perhaps there is someone else you can talk to such as an aunt/uncle, priest/ teacher etc. On the bright side, exams wont be forever they will eventually be done. Then you will be able to take a breath and much-needed break.
I've been working so hard this week on my midterm presentation for one of my classes and I feel do stressed out about it. But I decided to take a break and saw u posted a video and got excited. Thank you Jackie for asking. And how are you and Angel.
Now that your say so, I want you to know that this channel has been a GREAT support for me during quarantine, I went to bed at least twice a week thinking "ok I'll watch Jackie's video and then go to sleep". Your positive energy definitely brings up my mood no matter how hard the day has been. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT!
I just get so frustrated at the world lately ... It just seams like people are getting so much worse ... I try to see the positive in people but it's so hard ... I try to spread love and happiness because I need to show myself that it's still there ... I do love all of you out there , y'all really are such an awesome community ... Hope y'all have a good day once you vent ❤
Struggling with chaos and stress, I struggle when my house is a mess, but being a single foster\adoptive mom of 4, 2with medical needs makes it hard to keep up on chores. The kids come first, I just know I would function better mentally with a clean house lol

Trying to hang in just a little while longer. I have a business that is about 90% wedding gifts. Business was almost non-existent last year. Didn't have enough to pay my utility bills over the winter. Here in WI it's illegal to shut people off during the winter. I'm supposed to get a stimulus check shortly, if I do I'll be OK otherwise they shut me off in April. I feel fortunate though since I still have a roof and something in the cupboards. For now, I'm watching Jackie to take my mind off my troubles. Thanks Jackie.
Struggling with restlessness, got life on the brain. Anxiety has always been a problem for me. I ♥️ you Jackie and all the grains! Love how you make videos like this. And I wish you well with your surgery.
Thank you so much for checking in on us, this is why you’re awesome. How are you doing?
I have been exhausted working 6pm-430am and not going to bed till 9-10am 😅 but all has been overall well considering. Hope you're taking care of yourself too!
I started a teaching at a new school last week! Everything I was told isn't right. These kids need extra extra love! Lesson plans out we are just going to learn how to like each other!
Good luck😃
Good luck and try your Best
Back spasms and endless pain so i'm not ok but i keep wearing the smile and crafting myself sane now doing my resin thank to Jackie for her resin work
I know what it feels like to stand on the brink of giving up. Just remember, you're not alone! There are so many people willing to be there for you if you just reach out to them! Hoping it'll get better for you soon! Lots of love from Germany!
My mental health has actually improved since quarantine, so that shows how terrible I was before. But we can’t have band live at school yet, and when your outside, wearing special masks, bell covers and entire body bags for your instruments, I’m pretty sure it’s safe... so I’m a little pissed
Jackie have faith and think positive! Some of the treatment process is believing it will work. Your mind is very powerful it can play a strong role in how well your body receives the medicine. I love 💕 that you are here for all of us. Support from people is empowering!
Hi Jackie, you inspired me to start my own channel. I’m mainly a diamond painting channel and I’m loving it. I love watching all you’re videos and I don’t have the same condition as you but I have endometriosis and know how much being in pain can get you down. Making videos has really helped keep my mind of things. Thank you for all you’re videos. On both channels I love watching them all xx
Stressed and frustrated been dealing health and can't figure out what's wrong go to rheumatologist in May due to blood test saying I have inflammation and been having severe joint pains.... also hav GI apt I think in July as I think have IBS also ugh. Been dealing with horrid fatigue and idk why if its Hashimoto related since I have that or if it's from something else idk. Sigh just wish I wasn't tired and could sleep for once. Hard to function at times lol especially being a mom of 3 it's exhausting 😴😩
Current bored and stressed at college but working through it and i hope you all have a great day
Being bored and stressed is the worst, I hop it's better now and wishing you an awesome day!
I hope things are better now
Hi Jackie I love you videos and I hope you have a nice day
Thank you for being here for us like we are for you, been going through some really tough things. I am really mentally and physically healing (surgery).
I'm not so well but I'm trying to get better Tysm for asking Jackie ❤ I ALSO CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 5 OF BNHA/MHA I hope you are doing good Jackie!!!!
Yay! Jackie I'm so glad you liked everything and it reached you intact, we really had fun putting it all together for you, I'll forward the video to Riley so he definitely sees it! X
That was amazing, I have never sent anything and now I think that I might. Have a wonderful day.
By the way...Dw i'n hoffi cymraeg. I am learning Welsh.
@@susandaniels9733 da'i iawn! Welsh is a tricky one to get your tongue around. Hope you have a great day too 😊
@@carlamamwell1473 prnyhawn da, diolch. Blessings and best wishes.
Mellow Jackie? Didn't know that was possible! *hugs* and I understand pain all to well
Hey Jackie and fellow grains! Leaving this comment to say thank you. Suffice it to say that Jackie, Jazza, Chloe, Moriah, Rae, and Bailey have all been lights in the darkness for me. And the artist I've surpressed inside is finally coming out of that darkness. So thank you and all the grains this is an amazing community, even though I don't talk much I know if I do I have nothing to fear.
I absolutely agree..it's a wonderful environment that sparks creativity.
It's such a wonderful feeling when we are able to express ourselves. So happy for you.
🤗
Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Lots of hugs and love 4 u
I love your videos jacky as soon as I saw your notification my day Bright
Trying to hang in there. Recently officially 100% disabled with a few chronic pain conditions, joint, back, migraine and mental issues. Finally getting some help for some of it. Also trying to be super mom for my family.
Trying to stay positive and not focus on the negatives. You definitely help. Hope you’re able to start feeling better.
I will pray for your back and thanks for saving my life with your videos your the reason I do crafting
I need to celebrate! My family got picked to adopt three cats! The mama is named Alice, and we picked Oliver for her male kitten. We're still discussing a name for her female kitten (she's currently Queen, but we don't think the kitten should be Queen).
Do you want to call her Lilly (like flower and its my dogs name) or Puma ( like my cats)?
Congrats!!!! So happy for you❤️
Congrats! And thank you for saving their lives by adopting instead of supporting the cat mill industry via pet shops.
You could name her Delilah, after Freddie Mercury (lead singer of Queen) his favorite cat he owned. That song Delilah was about his fav kitty! :D If you're naming her Queen bc the band, or if yall like them. congrats tho! Animals are family
@@FearWithinWonderland That is an amazing name!
I have been a bit down and out but I have been coping better with my mental health. My dogs have been a lot of help with me coping with it all. Less of me. I am glad that you are able to get the help you need. Please send that gorgeous Birb of yours a hello from me and I hope to see his attitude in more videos. I miss the SALT-E-BIRB.
Pets are amazing at helping us cope. I have three kitties myself and they have helped to keep me sane.
Currently trying not to sink deeper down the dark hole im in... showing a strong face for my mom who is battling cancer in the middle of hard times in the world is just scary... my dear friend and brother is stuck in a civil warzone... my little sister is falling into depression i can see it but she’s not talking about it and its heart breaking to see her fading away... my big sister is going deff and im trying to keep her spirits up.. all the time while I’m fighting with dark thoughts when im alone at night this is without my own health problems im currently ignoring >
So sorry to hear it 😞 I really hope everything gets better!
@@ivisteli7968 thank you, i hope so too 🌹
It sounds like you have it really hard right now, and that sucks. As you care for your family please remember to take some time to care for yourself. Seek out an adult or friend to talk to you. You are not alone.
Maybe you need to hear this: Please take care of yourself. If you can't do it for you, do it for your sister or your mom, who seem to need you. How are you going to help them if you break under your own problem. Besides: you deserve it, you deserve the world.
Again, don't know if you needed to hear this. But it is 100% meant as I said. Hoping it'll be better for you soon! Lots of love from Germany to you!
@@julibern4513 thank you ill try to
I actually got depression from being contained I'm really sad and I just want to hug my dad's always working on the family some money and my mom is sick
So sorry to hear it 😞. Sending you a virtual hug❤️. Everything will be okay❤️
Sending you a hug from Canada.
Sending hugs please remember you are not alone and its okay to not be okay
Autumn, I get that and you're not the only one, this situation is not normal and it's ok to feel this and good that you talk about it ❤️ lots of hugs ❤️
Hi from me too, I am older but remember depression, sick moms and busy dads... I don't want to give you platitudes, but please know I care about you.
I’m stressed, my representative payee didn’t fill out the ssi form we get every three years and now I not getting my benefits. On top of that I have a pinched nerve in my back and causes me pain all down my hip and leg and making my foot go numb
I have been working through my depression and OCD, and I have found my way into crafting, drawing, sculpting, and as well as watching your channel which has improved both my OCD and depression significantly. I found your channel around 4 years ago where I was really suffering and all I have to say is that the past four years have been the best :D
Lauren, that's awesome to hear! I also have OCD and an anxiety disorder and doing something crafty also helped me lots.
Wishing you the best and keep working through it ! I believe in you! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
@@zeroghostdog5641 that's great! I'm glad crafting works for some people :D
I have been down in the dumps recent, stressed and just tired really. Trying to keep my head up even if its hard to do so. Hoping everyone who has had a hard time can find the peace and happiness soon! Hugs to all who need it
School just ended for the year (Japan ends in March) and Im glad to be rid of one of my 6th graders. He really brought the class down. But enough of him.
I'm well. Spring is nearly here. I'm hoping to go home for the summer but PCR tests are like 30,000 yen (300USD) plus plane ticket and I'd only get to be home, in quarantine, for 2 weeks before I need to return to quarantine before returning to school. But haven't seen my family in almost two years. I miss them so much. I have my cats, so at least I'm not alone.
I'm on the autism spectrum and been going through a lot of mental issues lately. My new boyfriend is very supportive of me and I'm not used to someone treating me like he does. Usually, i get told my venting and emotions are a burden by romantic partners or that im a failure, a mistake, and that my opinions don't matter and I'm lesser. (my last relationship before him was very much like this, and he used his platform as a twitch streamer to send his server and people to attack the one friend i vented to ONCE and he still does. But I cant defend her bc they blocked me day 1.) So it's very hard learning to let someone love me, and let someone do it without me constantly apologizing for being myself. And to not see myself so negatively and feel like a burden and like my opinions and my body doesnt matter unless its how they like it.
Be the best you you can. Other people's opinions of you are worthless. Its good that you have a loving and supportive boyfriend.
I want you to know that I know you are trying your best. Just give it some time... everything is gonna be alright. Lots of love and hugs from a fellow grain of salt ❤️
OMG. I am SO SIMILAR in my life right now! My primary isn't autism (though every male member of family is definitely ASD). My primary is ADHD. I am SO TRAINED to be withdrawn and apologetic. Every single person in my life has, at some time or permanently, pushed me away as being "just too much" (possible exception my dad 💞.) My new bf, who I was NOT looking for like this because I'd given up, is so amazingly accepting and supportive. It's a little disorienting, isn't it?😅
It's a wonderful opportunity, I think, to continue to "blossom". His support helps me be strong when I need, even when he's not with me.
Thought - what our boyfriends see in us is ALWAYS THERE!! We are actually just as worthy as THEY see in us, even when we are with others who would put us down and keep us there.
Remember that! 🥰❣
By no means is it EVER OK to put someone down for venting frustrations.
My ex was like yours. I couldn't talk about the stuff I was geeky about because he 'didn't care'. I couldn't talk to my friends about our martial issues because he didn't like anyone knowing our business. I felt isolated from friends and family. He would GO THROUGH MY PHONE. He got mad when I put a lock on it. I had to resort to snap chat to talk to a friend so he wouldn't see our messages.
My new bf is like yours. So much more considerate and let's me geek out knowing I am not trying to get him hyped up too.
It's very strange being in a healthy relationship after a bad one, and I'm super happy for you!!! 🤗
I really love that you have a bf that supportive. You're a beautiful person and you deserve it ❤️.
Hey salt shaker family!. I know we all are going through shit, but we are grains of salt and we fight our monsters together! I hope everything gets better soon and I know that no matter what, we are all here for each other. ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Pine Apple! Wishing you an awesome day and hugs!
I'm actually doing really well! I feel like I'm getting scheduling between my business, my family, and my corporate job finally in a good order.
Thanks for checking in with us, Jackie! Hope you're feeling listened to and validated as well!

I lost my job in September and I was so depressed that I won’t go hurt my self but I had to think about my son. I now have a job babysitting.
💜💜💜
One moment at a time. ❤️
Please take good care of yourself and lots of hugs ❤️
I'm depressed and I almost hurt myself the only thing stopping me was because I can't do that to my family
Aww ya depression sux, but also this situation in the world is very stressful and doesn't help the situation.
Remember people is here for u. Even if sometimes it doesn't feel like it. If u have too use social media to find positive feed back or to rant out ur stress.
How is your back? Do you have an appointment in Germany.
I have also problems with my back an leg and know that there are a lot german doctors who are able to help.
Me and my friend are going through hardships right now. Her grandpa is very sick and I can feel her pain. She has been more quiet now. I was scared to tell her our best friend is moving. I was more heartbroken than anyone. They were the two pillars of me that kept me happy. Now they are crumbling. Watching ur videos made me feel comfort. I am scared to move on. I want things to be the same. I hope ur surgery goes well. It is hard to go forth, but you have to push on. But it is okay to be scared. I am. Hope u have a better day than me.
Sounds like your friend needs you more now than ever. Even if she is more distant and quiet, let her know that you care about her and are there for her is she needs you.
Just as Lee said, it's important to let your friend know you're there when she needs it. I feel like you need some hugs so HUGS ❤️❤️❤️
Do they watch nerdecrafter as well? or NerdeJackie of course, perhaps, you could all meet here and leave each other inside jokes, and notes. Secret instant messages, :) I care about all three of you and hope you keep sending friendship to each other.
Tell your friend everything will be ok bc if you have hope it will
You have a really cute username
Hey Jackie, There's a Stem Cell clinic in Maryland, it's called Advanced Stem Cell Therapy Baltimore, also there's a place in Glen Burnie , MD called Regeneration Centers of Maryland, or one in Virginia called Dr. Adam Fidel's Stem Cell Solutions Center
Thank you for asking, Jackie. I'm currently struggling balancing my emotional and physical health. Really bad tooth aches, can't afford to see a dentist for a year now bc of covid, school is stressful af, and to top all of that, I need to do all the chores too. I don't mind doing it but everyone here just leaves their shit behind everytime, and if I leave it alone, just piles up for weeks even months. Our country has so many covid cases, and I think sooner or later we'll go into lockdown again. I'm so tired, and drained, I miss my friends, I miss taking walks, and buying groceries without any worry. Really boring stuff, and not too big of a deal, but I've been cooped up here for so long, and being forced to feel everything all at once just sucks. Seriously, Jackie. Thank you for making quarantine better. I hope anyone reading this have a nice day/evening.
been so stress out due to i just lost my job and i have so many responsibility due helping my mom and my step-dad who has alztimers and it has been so hard for my family. and my anxiety disorder has been even rougher on me it taking its toll that i don't want to leave my room. i lovr watching your videos it makes my day
I hope everything gets better with you and your family❤️
Shiny Celebi, I also have an anxiety disorder so I get that feeling and the situation that you're in is rough. Please take good care of yourself and see help if you need it, I helped me though some tough times. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️

I had the worst childhood and me reading this made my heart smile and cry at the same time. You're an awesome mother that deeply for their children. But also, please take care of yourself and, if you can, please find some help of your depression. I have had mental health issues of my own and the help I received really helped me forward.
Wishing you the best in the world and hugs ❤️
You're really going through it, aren't you? :( I wish all parents had so much love in their hearts for their children.
I am a mom of a little one (2yo) and I suffered from severe post partum depression. No one took it seriously but my midwife. I got help and am so much better now. Still easily overwhelmed but I manage. 😅 Please take care of yourself and get help if possible. You need to take care of yourself to take care of your children. They will be happy for you, I quarantee it! Sending you lots of love!
I am stressed due to so much work I have been doing but I am making a new drawing to reduce that stress. If you are wondering what I am drawing, I am drawing Cherry Blossom from the latest anime, "SK8 the Infinity". I recommend you watch it because this is a skateboarding anime animated by the same company for MHA with amazing animation, character designs, and a lot of best boys uwu
I'm so sorry to hear that you are stressed but you found a really good creative way to let of some steam. I hope you get less stressed soon and hugs ❤️
I am currently not okay my stomach is on fire. I broke my headphones. I am also having a bit of a depression attack due to stress and worry. But watching your video did help me smile just a bit in this bad day
You need a hug, sending lots of love and hugs ❤️
I have anxiety and health problems, but honestly, if my headphones broke I'd be a big mess. I love them and I got them in a drugstore years ago...no name brand on them. They're irreplaceable!
I went out for the First time in over a year last Thursday to get my First vaccine jab. for anyone struggling in lockdown there's hope and its coming, I'm still stuck inside with chronic pain but I now know SaltyCrafter can 'purchase' her craft kits a little more safely! and my at-risk friends are now a little safer. x love the videos x
Thank you for helping provide herd immunity for those of us who cannot get the vaccine (health reasons). Hugs... hope the pain stays manageable... chronic pain is... draining, to put it nicely.
Oh I was very sad today , I was having a very bad day , thanks for your support . More than half of my family is toxic , my father died 3 years ago and when I was 6 my parents divorced because of my fathers sisters and my fathers brothers wife but my mom still loves them all . Now I am living with my fathers sisters who are not married and are above 60 , I am 16 now and every body is so secretive and weird , I don't feel good , but I have to live with them cause my mom can't afford to keep me but my father was a wealthy man and before his death he had all of his property on his sisters name and I can get it when I am 18 , my fathers brothers has two sons who are 10 years older than me and are trying to keep our right
Can we just take a minute to discuss the fact that Jackie is the sweetest RUclipsr out here!!
I cried when she asked me if *I* am okay?? 😭😭
You're not the only one, she is so sweet ❤️
I haven't been a subscriber for very long. But her videos and content makes my day and a smile on my face.
Agree, She is so kind!
Jackie is the sweetest! She is always making me smile especially when I am having a bad day I enjoy her videos. On top of that, the salt is contageous :D
Hi! I have a sh!t ton of homework. I'm stressed, today had a history and biology tests, tomorrow we have a music kinda essay/thingy (I got ready for it). All I want to do is sleep all day, eat and I. Need. Hugsssss...
I hope everyone's having a good day!❤
Sending you a virtual hug ❤️. Good luck with everything ❤️
@@ivisteli7968 You too❤❤❤
HUGS!! School will be over soon enough and you will be able to recharge over spring break. Even if you can't travel anywhere you can pamper yourself with a pizza+ice cream+movie night in.
Hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Internet hugs!
Hey Jackie I hope everything goes great with your back issues and you get the help you need to make you feel better soon, I know how it is having back issues..
I myself am now 52 and found out that my scoliosis has come back and I hadn’t had it since my early teens, I do however work in an environment that doesn’t help with the issue either, I work in the hotel industry and make a lot of beds and bend over all day.. I also have an over active thyroid that has been acting up lately, so I’ve been put on a new dosage.. I also have to go and see a cardiologist( well first app is on the phone).. cause I can’t go up stairs without feeling winded, don’t know why a cardiologist but that’s the doctors advise, oh and as well I found out that my lungs are deforming and the doctor doesn’t understand why that is going on, however he believes it may have something to do with the mask..
Take care 🤗
Oh yeah, I was surprised when I saw you were on just now, happy surprise too..
Hugs
My almost 14 year old dog was really sick and died a month ago so I've been very stressed, but I'm starting to be less stressed and more inspired for my art so at least that's good 🥺
Sorry about your dog. He/she is in a better place now! I am happy you are starting to feel better❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. Animals are family and that hurts. stay strong, and so proud you're taking care of your stress and yourself with your art! :D Your doggy wouldn't have wanted you to be sad. They would've wanted you to be happy and remember the good times with them.
Im so sorry. Losing a beloved pet is never easy. I will say this though, that it gets easier to deal with the loss as time goes on. Whenever you think of your pup, focus on the good times you had together as you had far more good days than that one F-in crap day at the end.
So sorry I know what you feel because my dog also passed away just yesterday she was a girl so I miss her a lot I was crying yesterday but everything is alright.
@@alyssonramirez8814 I'm sorry for your loss too! I'm sure your dog friend had a great life with you 😊
I've been sick for over a year now. Had a surgery... It hasn't gotten better. I'm starting to get scared. I've lost over 60lbs not doing anything. However all that a side I'll be fine. I love your videos 😍. Thank you and I hope your health improves as well.
You will be fine. Hope that you believe it as much as I do! Lots of love from Germany!
@@julibern4513 I do believe that all will work out. Thank you for your kind words 😊
I feel like you need a hug, so I will give you one: virtual hugs ❤️

Hi Jackie doing fine apart from my work place is closing down at th end of next month but should be in another job soon all been well so I will keep my fingers crossed. From Doncaster UK x
I am actually doing wonderfully , today is my 21st birthday and a few days ago my brother took the time to bring my other siblings and some of my friends together to watch my favorite musical Phantom Of The Opera 25th anniversary addition in a local theater. So I am on a high of gratitude and every time I think about it I smile. Best day of my life. And for all who are hurting and going through stuff I will be praying for you.
Happy birthday Cooper creations
Hope you do wonderful every day :3

Yeah for good days! I hope you have more.

Hey! I don’t have much, but I this month, I have been really stressed writing a 3 page essay, making a slideshow, and a poster board on a science experiment. Those were ok, but because of that, my math scores have been in the B-C zone. I am in GATE ELA, History, and Science yet my dad only really cares on my maths score. Also not being able to go to school and meet with friends and family, is really hard. I also took art class and that helps me vent out and cool down. I love watching your videos and they always make me smile!😊❤️
Believe in yourself! Remember there's a reason your in those classes. If you're struggling talk to your teachers, counselors. I've called meetings for my daughters with teachers who were too hard on them many times. My girls struggled with learning challenges. Don't be afraid to ask for help from school staff.
💜💜💜
You got this!!
I totally agree with Brianne! You can do this! Sending lots of hugs ❤️
I had those never-enough parents too. I learned to achieve things for myself only! Other adults- my parents friends, my teachers- thought I was awesome, so I listened to THEM.
I started my own business last week and so far have makenover $300 and had 2 people join with me. I love watching your channels 😍🥰😍
I'm feeling very much like I'm stuck on a path that I don't want to be on in life and can't change it. I'm trying but nothing has worked so far and I'm getting older and I'm feeling like time(and my energy) for big changes is getting shorter. Anyway thanks for asking Jackie, I hope You're ok! You're awesome and a creative inspiration.
I worked REALLY hard on an essay, put all my effort into it, and worked half of my weekend only to get a C and now having to redo it. I'm also working on my insecurities and self confidence. Right now I have an amazing girlfriend that is very supportive and kind. And my mental state isn't very "okay" And I'm also working on that. Thanks for letting all of us share what we are struggling with, it gives some sort of relief. Love you Jackie :)
Oh that sucks to have put so much effort into an essay to get a crap score. What is your topic?
@@leeatkin9925 It's if students should wear uniforms or not, I said yes (it's not what I REALLY think I just know it's easier to write).
@@lilylovessade That's a good essay topic. It is one I give to my 6th graders to write about.
@@leeatkin9925 Oh wow- I'm a 6th grader how funny lol
@@lilylovessade Good luck on your redo. I hope your teacher gave you some good feedback so you can do better.
Pain is a daily thing. I have hashimos, joint disease, severe arthritis from head to toe, nerve damage in my arms and legs, sleep disorder, endometrial cancer survivor, and several more issues. The thing is I can't take most pain meds since I have allergy to most pain meds. So pain is an all day every day pain.
Kat, so sorry to hear that, sending lots of love and hugs ❤️
Big hugs! Pain is difficult to deal with constantly. Do your best to seek the positive in your life where you can. Pain and depression go hand and hand. Trying to find a single ray of sunshine can brighten your whole day.
I hear that! My ulcers and allergies and just my weird body chemistry means I can't take pain relievers. I love my hot water bottles! Sending a happy day to you (concentrates real hard)
Huggles
Been depressed more and more. I wish my country (US) would help people like me who are struggling with money more. My anxiety is high also....
So sorry to hear it 😞. I hope everything gets better❤️
That sounds really rough Sea bassy cat. I'm wishing you the best and sending lots of love and hugs ❤️
I’m sorry your feeling depressed. The US is really failing us all in getting mental health support. My anxiety is terrible. If you need to talk feel free to message me.
Currently I’m not feeling alright due to depression. I feel like giving up, things are getting hard, it’s exhausting. Schools stressful and I’ve been trying to hide my emotions around people...
Covid Fatigue is REAL. So tired of everything! Got my vaccine (both doses) in hope of getting back to normal. The hardest thing was losing my mom to Covid and not having a “normal” funeral . I’m so GRATEFUL for Jackie! I hope your health improves!
Im sorry for the loss of your mother.
Yeah for the vaccine, I'm waiting till I can get mine...everntually.
I've lost my aunt Last year due to covid, it was really bad not being able to say goodbye. I don't know if you're religious, if you are, I hope it can help thinking she's in a good place and in peace. If you're not, I hope you can remember her best, may the good memories keep her alive in your heart. Sending virtual hug \o/
So sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard it must have been to not being able to say goodbye to your mom in a normal funeral. Wishing you the best and hoping we can go back to normal as soon as possible. Sending lots of hugs ❤️❤️❤️
@JeanineBangley
I'm so sorry you couldn't get to say goodbye to your mom :( but surely she's watching over all the time
P.s. it's true. Post covid fatigue is real, and it's awful, it's been 8 months for me :(
I am actually doing okay. I found an affordable therapist and had my first session yesterday. It went quite well. I think I might get the help I need finally.
I have testing, my little brother got quarantined, I feel like crap, I am stressed because I am moving schools soon, My parents work too much and I stress about them. Love everyone and hope you are having an amazing day
Edit: thank you so much for all of the likes 🙏🥺 even though you might not think it does much it does so much 😌
Maybe you can see the new school as a new opportunity? I switched schools too during the time I was in school and it was the best thing I did in my life! And remember : you are not responsible for your parents happiness.
Hope you feel better soon, lots of love from Germany!
Don't give up friend. Moving schools sucks but maybe you will meet a bunch of super awesome people at your new school. 🙏❤️🤗 I'm sure your parents feel so blessed to have a kid who actually cares and worries about their wellbeing. I don't have the words to make anything better, but know your not alone.
Just a hug to make you feel better ❤️
@@TheNaoiko thank you 🙏
@@julibern4513 I will 😁
Hi nerdy I love all of your videos and I'm good thank you for asking
I’m a single mother with high functioning anxiety, things are rough from time to time, some days I just can’t keep up! But I love being a mother, wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world
I also have lots of anxiety and I can relate to you that sometimes it can be rough but we can do it! You are amazing and hugs ❤️
Wow may i ask how old is ur child
@@zeroghostdog5641 thank you so much ❤️
@@akeymasparks753 my eldest is 8 and youngest is 2
I've been having some personal issues lately, but I'm seeing my doctor this week and hopefully I can get some help and maybe seek therapy ;u;
Hope you can get there and get the privilege to see a professional! Lots of love from Germany!
Can anyone explain to me why the kindest people seem to suffer so much? Jackie, your message had me tearing up. Thank you for reaching out! You are such a blessing and I truly hope you can heal and feel healthier. Gentle hugs to everyone right now. You are not alone.
I totally agree! ❤️
Kindest people are those who have known profound pain, so they could never inflict pain on those they love, and they know of empathy and compassion ;)
It's great to find people like her, let's all be much more compassionate!
I’m in so much pain all over.I can’t sit for long periods of time.can’t even sleep on my right side cause it causes so much pain.
I so sorry to hear that, wishing you the best and hugs ❤️
It seems really terrible! I hope you have ways to get better. All I can do is to send you hugs and good vibes!
I Don't think you know the situation in Poland but it is pretty bad and here I'm just wanting to live
I was injured yesterday. I have 4 large dogs but one stays inside. I was taking the other 3 dogs out to their pen and the neighbors cat ran by. I was dragged a good 30ft before i could control them. My stomach muscles and arms are extremely sore. My dogs usually ignore the cat. Have no clue what triggered them. So im working on a crochet project.
I hope you get better soon❤️
I'm working on a crochet Projekt as well! Hope yours turns out like you want it to and your body heals as fast as possible!
Wishing you a speedy recovery and hugs! ❤️
Oh boy... pets. The highlight of lives. It's a good thing we love them, isn't it? I hope you feel better soon. Good luck on the crochet!
Hope you get better, I love crocheting, have fun on your project.
Not as good as I could be. Anxiety has been bad and I just feel like I'm going through the motions. I'm planning on going out for a walk as soon as I'm done pretending to be logged in for class (aka logged in but sitting on the bed doing nothing).
You always brighten my day (as do sika and angel).
I really hope you can find yourself a little on that walk! Maybe make it a regular thing to do for yourself after class? Maybe that will keep you from feeling like you only lolive for the sake of existing and remind you that we all have our place in the world and that place would be terribly empty an black without you!
Lots of love from Germany!
@@julibern4513 I also think 4 plus months of lockdown has not been good. I've been locked down more than I've been "free".
I am doing great, my final exams just ended, now I am on holiday and call my friends every day. So life is pretty good, but I am a little stressed about the youtube channel that I am creating with my friends and get irritated when they don’t cooperate and try to have some fun and play games instead. Thank you for acknowledging us and our feelings and making us feel that we matter to you, it really does mean a lot
Wishing you a good holiday!
As "that friend" who just makes jokes and does't help...sorry
Hello :D I need a hug! Hugs are great. It might be the under and over sleeping- thank you for asking :)
*hugs you tight* everything will be okay! ❤️
super huuuuuuugggggg
I have been struggling with Hashimoto’s for 20 years and couldn’t get doctors to treat me. In October I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and just before Christmas had my thyroid out. Through my thyroidectomy they actually found that I had Hashimoto’s for a very long time based on the state of my thyroid. I’m now on Synthroid and feel better than I’ve felt in a very long time.
Yeah to feeling better!
Glad to hear that you're feeling better now ❤️
There's a physician in Toledo Ohio who does stem cell transplants for back pain. I was looking into it for my mom. ❤️
As far as how I'm feeling? Not great. Feeling pretty darn lonely and overwhelmed, and my self esteem is non-existent.
Don't be lonely, you have a whole channel full of grains to chat with. This grain will chat with you, pick a topic.
Honestly? I've been having a hard month. It's the anniversary of both my parents passing. My mom died from having a rare form of dementia and my dad died a week later from stage 4 colon cancer.
It's been hard dealing with all the past year without them.
Sorry for you losses. I can't imagine how hard that was. HUGS
Big hugs!! You can do it! It sounds really hard to get through, but the sun will shine again. The heart ache will remain but get smaller each year. The sweet memories will become larger and the smiles will return. This has been a really rough year, just hang in there!
So sorry for your loss. Sometimes it's ok to feel not ok sometimes. Only just remember that there is always light, even in the darkest times(as a wise men once said😉). Lots of hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss, sending positive thoughts
I am watching your video with my 8 yr old granddaughter. Trying not to cry my eyes out. I feel so alone. I honestly have no friends. Due to my crps chronic pain. It's near impossible to leave my house. My van is dying so I will have to lean on my daughter for rides every where. They are waiting for the world to be safe again so I can move out. I'm no longer needed since my twin granddaughters are 8. Being in pain and bipolar ptsd anxiety isn't helping. My granddaughter saw a tear and told me she loves me more than anyone and is my best friend. Sadly her and her sister are my only friends. I'm crying out for help. Thank you for your videos they help me smile.
You are not alone, sending much love!
Love you jackie. Having a bit of a rough time. My big brother has been in the hospital since last Saturday and im still worried even though they say he'll be ok💙💙💙
I hope your brother gets well and can go home soon to do what brothers do best: be annoying little turds.
Yes Jackie. It's been rough. But I don't want to share too much..
@@Satisfyinglifevideos thank you. I almost wasnt to be honest. But thanks to Jackie I am..
I just love this channel nerde Jackie is amazing!!! I wait for your videos every week. I need you in my life, helps with everything going on with me. Please keep posting, I will always be a grain for you.
I am having a hard day emotionally but am using the self care techniques that I have learned in my support group....the weather is really nice out today, I would like to say early spring but I live in Nova Scotia the weather can change on a dime.....I do enjoy your channel so much, on my really down days I will go and watch some of your early videos where you are crafting....is there any chance that you will do a little more of a throw back where you do a clay project or resin tutorial....today is really an off day for me....pain is consuming me today so self care it is.....Love you Lots and share the love with Sika....
Honestly, I’m not the best right now. And that takes a lot for me to say. I’m working on healthily emotionally detaching from the man I’m dating so I don’t get hurt as bad this time.
But Jackie, we all wish the best for you and hope you can get some relief.
I hear you I’m here if you ever need to talk my insta is @cait_19_r_
i love your videos because for me it is a way for me to take my mind off all the bad stuff in the world and you always are positive all the time me and my mom are huge fans
Im Exhausted. I don't have any family left and doing everything on my own it feels like. Im wlaking behind the facts and it makes me depressed. I sit behind the computer too long, for hours on end... and my back hurts because of that. Love artist life ugh. I never been to a chiro or massage, but I literally have knots in my muscles sometimes yikes. My body makes cracking sounds, I think im just getting old... im 32 I used to be very active, riding and training horses all day, being at the barn from 5 am in the morning till 10/11 pm in the evening.... Done this for years. I miss my active horse life but I can't afford a horse anymore. Sometimes Im so done. It was Tracer from Overwatch btw.
Marinka(also Dutch??) So sorry to hear that your not feeling well right now. Isn't there a way that you can ride an horse in a stable around your living area? My best friend also doesn't own a horse but still can go horse back riding regularly, so maybe that's an option?
Also, please take good care of yourself (mentally and physically) and sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I'm absolutely mentally and physically at a breaking point. The pain I'm in constantly has stole my spirit, the things I love, and my adventure. I'm hoping some things pull through this year and I can relieve my pain. I have degenerative disc disease (osteoarthritis) I'm a thyroid cancer survivor leaving me with hypothyroid, pcos, fibromyalgia, hydradentitis supperativa, something is wrong with my neck. I'm waiting on my results from that. Ontop of that there's other stuff but they don't cause physical pain... anyway I try to keep pushing through... but someday it's hard. I find myself grieving who I was before cancer... it's like she died.
I'll quit complaining. I try to take enjoyment from the smallest things... like... I look forward to your videos. You make me laugh and we have alot of the same interests and do the same weird stuff so that's awesome too. You are very kind and are hilarious. You like to say you're not beautiful but you are! I really hope things work out for you. You deserve it.
I really needed this. My marriage is falling apart and I'm just not ok
Edit: thank you all so much ❤️
Mine seems to be too! I'm here for you! I'm not okay either. *hugs you tight*
don´t worry, it´ll be alright and everything will be alright. Sending hugs :)
@@tenshikoneko34 thank you hun. Youll be ok too.
@@karolinaparizova5715 thank you ❤️
@@taylormorrison1675 your welcome ♥️ and remember you're not alone ^^
Hi Jackie ...Whenever I see a notification for a new video from you ,I am watching Asap 😊❤️✨Hope the best for you in your health journey & Medical situation.Also,to anyone reading this ,I'm sending out positive vibes for you too.✨💫
Honestly this whole thing has been very hard I haven't seen my friends in a long time since March 13th was the last time I saw my friends it was the last day of physical school. Often I try to contact my friends but I feel like they are always "busy" I get sometimes people are but not ALL the time. Not only that but 3 years ( almost 4 now) my brother passed away. And now just this last November I lost my grandma. Who I lived with( with my mom as well) but it was so hard. I miss people and that's coming from me who is antisocial with people who I don't know.
Edit: however my mom is here for me and I couldn't be more happy that she is. She is so supportive of me and everything I'm doing with my art I'm so glad I have her!
I feel like you need a hugs so: looooots of hugs from me ❤️
@@zeroghostdog5641 thank you
I'm kinda depressed. In my country this Covid situacion is still bad. I'm at last year at high school and my final exams are closing (my country wants us to completed - no excuses to pandemic). I haven't been in school since Chrismas holidays. :c I miss my teachers, I miss my friends, my school life and also I'm hella stressed.
If you have final exams as well, I wish you luck! For us students is this situacion pretty bad. Also big thanks to the teachers! Thank you that you are still with us, offering help and guidence!
I know that I'm this random person on the internet but I want you to know that I know you are trying your best. I hope that everything gets better soon and all your stress goes away. We are grains of salt and we fight off our monsters together! Love and hugs from a fellow grain ❤️
Hi from South Africa! You are amazing and we all love you!❤
I'm currently still working on my insecurities because I hated wearing specific clothes but now I'm very happy with myself :3
Edit 7th.12.23: Guys I realized that I'm just trans
It's a journey to love yourself and I'm proud of you even though I don't know you for going out of your comfort zone and finding something that makes you happy!
That just straight up made me smile
Thats amazing!! Its such a hard journey to take but in the end it is so work it!! Congrats and I'm proud of you that you did it!!
Yaaaas queen/king/icon! Good for you
This is so hard! I went through the same thing last summer, and it gets so much easier the longer you practice self love!
Im stressing because i found out my mom has dementia and it has been really hard on me and my family! I hope you are doing ok Jackie? Watching your video right now!
Dementia is so hard to deal with. My grandma has it to. I haven't seen her in over two years (we live in different countries) and I worry she has forgotten who I am.
Hopefully, you caught it early enough that she won't get really bad like my grandma. Do remember that no matter what she says, she does love you. And she can't control what she can't remember. Its hard but good luck.
If I'm honest.... I'm exhausted covid hasn't been kind to me since I do have to work and my work environment became toxic....
I believe everyone is exhausted of this situation... I hope you can find ways to rest your body and mind, and also to avoid The negativity in your work place! Sending virtual hug \o/
That's awful to hear, I hopes it gets better for you soon! Please take good care of yourself and lots of hugs❤️
Sending you lots of love! I feel you. We will get trough this. After the pandemic you can choose another path. I believe in you!
This is the perfect time to post your video because i am an Indian so this is the perfect time ❤❤❤because usually you post when it is the night time ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Jackie, I'm always happy when you upload a video because you make me smile or even Lol . I'm 45 from Belgium and i speak Dutch french and english. I love your crafts and i love you for being you. I' m almost always dressed in black but a soft spot for pink, unicorns, dragons and skulls . love horror Movies and Cats and have a chonky black and white cat (male) called Pruts who is my everything. But i'm a big woman and suffer from backpain daily but Not as much as you so i wish the treatment you choose will help you with your problems. For the rest i'm very lonely because i don't have a lot of friends and i have no contact with the family. Enough for now.. Cant Wait for your next video..
I just came day before from surgery because my illness and now nothing else I can do than just lay down and watch youtube. So happy your videos, you really help me get thinking something else than pain etc. (Sorry bad english.. not number one for me😁) Greetings from Finland👋).
You must have caught some English because today it is number 1 for you.
@@leeatkin9925 Thank you so much. I'm learning, but it's easier to listen than write. Hope you doing well and thank you for your comment😊
I've been okay. I have been suffering from depression unable to see a therapist. it has been hard. Also Jakie I hope you have a good day same with you all reading this
I've been feeling really down lately first because of the stress of exams and my anxiety has gotten worse because i really have no one to talk to in my house yeah i can call my friends but it just isn't the same like idk if it makes sense
No, it makes perfect sense. Perhaps there is someone else you can talk to such as an aunt/uncle, priest/ teacher etc. On the bright side, exams wont be forever they will eventually be done. Then you will be able to take a breath and much-needed break.
I've been working so hard this week on my midterm presentation for one of my classes and I feel do stressed out about it. But I decided to take a break and saw u posted a video and got excited. Thank you Jackie for asking. And how are you and Angel.
Good luck on your presentation. What's the topic?
Now that your say so, I want you to know that this channel has been a GREAT support for me during quarantine, I went to bed at least twice a week thinking "ok I'll watch Jackie's video and then go to sleep". Your positive energy definitely brings up my mood no matter how hard the day has been. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT!
I just get so frustrated at the world lately ... It just seams like people are getting so much worse ... I try to see the positive in people but it's so hard ... I try to spread love and happiness because I need to show myself that it's still there ... I do love all of you out there , y'all really are such an awesome community ... Hope y'all have a good day once you vent ❤
I don't think people are getting worse, I think there are just more ways for the worst people to be seen
I also try to view the world positively, but it can be difficult. 💜💜💜
Keep sharing your love. It's harder to see the kind, but we are truly out there. ❤️❤️
Thank y'all for your thoughts ... You all are a great group
Awesome that you try to spread as much love and happiness as you can, you're awesome! ❤️❤️❤️
Struggling with chaos and stress, I struggle when my house is a mess, but being a single foster\adoptive mom of 4, 2with medical needs makes it hard to keep up on chores. The kids come first, I just know I would function better mentally with a clean house lol
I'm not feeling good. My pain levels are off the charts
So sorry to hear that, I hope it will get better soon. Sending you of love and hugs ❤️
