    Stephanie I am so proud of you. I am in my mid 70s and finally went to see a therapist this past year. What a difference it has made. None of us is perfect and nor are we expected to be is one of the lessons that I have learned. Bravo You🎉

    Thank you Stephanie for being real.I suffer from anxiety and depression also. We have had the worse year, 2024, between my hubby and me both being dx with cancer and then our daughter, 55, passed away suddenly in sept. I am still battling. Bless you for sharing your life.❤

    Thank you for sharing your mental health journey with the world in such detail. You help normalize seeking help, as well as normalize how long of a journey it is. I heard your interview with Karen Brown of Just Get It Done Quilts, and now this video. Bravo, Stephanie!
    I'm cheering for you and looking forward to your new videos!

    I taught myself to cross stitch because I needed another outlet to keep my hands busy and my mind quiet. I absolutely love sewing but sometimes I just want to sit on the couch but still be creative. I love that you’re healing and I love that you’re open and honest about how hard the mental health journey is. The most important thing is to never give up. Celebrate all the wins no matter how small. Can’t wait for more content ❤

I was a member of the Stashin with Stephanie club from the beginning and have been trying to make one a month. Your tutorials are fantastic. You are amazingly talented. I am an anxious, over-thinker and being honest with your doctor is a must. So very proud of you! ❤

    So happy to see you back and happy! I am currently struggling mentally and am glad to see you coming out on the other side. You also have taught me so much about quilting (which I started a few years ago for my mental health). Wish I could go on the cruise, but I am the primary caregiver for my husband who has ALS. I don’t feel like I can plan things just yet. Again, I am very happy for you!

      Thank you so much for your comment. I am glad quilting has been a positive part of your own mental health journey. The organization I work for now helps connect caregivers with resources in their area to help them avoid burnout. Have you considered respite care or home healthcare to help give you the time and space you need for yourself?

I never would have had the courage to do it without your amazing videos!! I also have anxiety/depression so I am so glad that you took the time to take care of yourself. Can’t wait to quilt “with” you again!! -Brandy

    Your hair is also back and 100% on point today! (this is in no way a statement about past hair, just noticing it's wonderful today).
    Edit: Also, good on you for doing the hard things. As someone who has had rather a bit of a dramatic mental health journey once I personally stopped trying to pretend I could hold it all together, it's hard work, But good work, and work you deserve to do.

    I am so thrilled you are back as I have really missed you! You are so right about having a support group as I lost my husband a year ago in Switzerland and my quilting friends were so there for me and my church was also there. You are right that sometimes people just need to be there and they don’t need to talk but just be there and let you know you aren’t alone! When our Quilt Guild has a show I always enter a quilt for the judges comments on what I area I need to improve. I am so looking forward to learning new ways to get better outcomes with my quilting! Please know there are a lot of people out there who so enjoyed the time we spent with you! Looking forward to your next video! Yeah 👏🥰

  • @MariaRosseau

    Sorry you've been struggling - Depression is a beast. (One I fight, too.) I think it's really great that you're willing to be open about your mental health challenges, because the more of us that are willing to do that, the less of a stigma it will have. So glad to see you again - loved seeing you talk on Just Get It Done Quilts. Take care of yourself. 🥰

    Thank you for bravely sharing your journey with us. It helps to know that we are not alone. No matter how far we are in our journey it never really goes away it just becomes manageable. And for those times when we feel we will not come back or will not dig out of the hole, it always seems to help to hear others stories, share our own stories, and most importantly reach out for help and know it’s only temporary.

    So happy to see you smiling again. I’m thankful that you took the time to heal and now you have your fire back! I’ve been where you were also, so can totally relate, but I, too, am in a good place. Looking forward to spending time with you in this next chapter.

    Hi Stephanie. I am so glad to see you back and also I am so happy that you are doing better. Balancing life can be hard. Self care is super important.
    Thank you for your honesty. Our mental health is so important. Got to stay on top of that.
    Looking forward.
    😄

    Thank you for being brave enough to share your journey. I also have dealt with anxiety/ depression, and still need my medication. Sewing is wonderful therapy. I'm so glad to see you are back. I love your videos. I still have many of the Stashin' quilts to make!
