      Hello Jennifer
      👋 Shirley from England here.. it’s so sad that you are suffering like this.. I wish I could help you. If you had a broken leg everyone would see it and sympathise because you would have a plaster on it, but with mental health issues there’s nothing to see and people don’t see how you’re suffering. But the pain is so hard and deep. Please take care and gather strength from people who care about you. I think any negative comments are best deleted and forgotten….Along with the people who make them … no loss Jennifer, why would they be an asset 😢 let people like that find another channel.. there are plenty out there that have no dialogue at all … much more suited to their style xxx

      ​@@webdarlingIf it only was easy to disregard the negatives. The trouble with being on line is that faceless humans can be so very cruel. Having read some of the comments by those vicious individuals its impossible to forget them. Those words play on the mind especially when feeling vulnerable. I will never understand their need to pull people down.😢

    Jennifer everything I am going to say is out of love ♥ First of all I am 80 YO and have been crocheting since I was 8 YO. I have been watching you for a number of years. I watch you and other crocheters a lot. I watch to get patterns for shawls, throws, blankets, sweaters and small items. I do not read patterns, so I depend on tutorials. Some of my favorite channels do not even talk, they play music and put the stitch pattern on the screen. I do not watch crochet channels like some do, you are not a soap opera. Your life should be very private. I do not watch crochet channels to be entertained like I watch comedy tv shows or movies. I watch you and other crochet channels to see your crochet talents and to learn new things. You are a teacher. Teach beginners and show us established crocheters new and exciting things....new yarns, yarn reviews, new stitches and old stitches, tutorials big and small, crochet alongs are fun. I do not come to you channel to laugh, see your vacations, watch your beautiful children grow up, see what color your hair is this week...all though I do like a peek of you dogs once in a while ♥ You should not care who likes you...care about who likes your channel. Who enjoys your crocheting talent and love of yarn. To be very honest if your pod cast is not about something crocheting/knitting or yarn, I pass that session by. If you want to showcase your Beautiful Family start a seperate channel. But....beware these kinds of channel can be dangerous. Not all people that watch you on youtube are your friends.♥♥♥

I can imagine him at school when chatting talking about their Mums him saying my Mums CS she’s famous and clever. I have 4 grown up Sons and I know what they say about me. You are Jennifer aka Cinnamon Stitches you are loved by thousands of us. It only takes one bad apple so embrace who you are and what you do ,throw out the bad apple .

    @eddavanleemputten9232 Месяц назад +20

    Jennifer, this is my message to YOU, not to Cinnamon Stitches but to the wonderful lady behind the channel and to her loved ones.
    Take it from someone who has clawed her way from the black depths of despair several times over, who’s had to rebuild from scratch and re-think, re-organise and re-prioritise for health reasons. Someone who’s been vilified and dragged through the mud.
    You are so much better than the trolls who will ALWAYS find something to pick apart and crap on. It’s always easier to believe the evil poison that’s being spewed towards you and even if you built yourself a layer of teflon a mile thick to protect you, something will always stick for a while and take some time to shed. Take your time to shake it off and throw it where it belongs: in the trash.
    Just like you said: If you feel you need help and time to heal, reorganise, reprioritise, make changes, and gather your strength, do so. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself the room. Those who are loyal, who are decent, will understand. I’m certain that’s the vast majority of your followers. No judgment.
    A little word on the colour of your hair: WTF???!?!!!? I don’t care if it’s blonde, brown, ginger, jet black, purple, green, teal, orange with fuchsia spots or even checkered. You do you. We’re bot here for the hair. We’re here for the crochet,knitting, spinning, and for YOU.
    About your son calling you Cinnamon Stitches: they’re proud of you and they love you. They’re proud of your job. They’re proud of what you’ve built.
    You’re right, you’re not Cinnamon Stitches. The channel, however, is A PART of you for as long as you choose it to be. It’s just a snippet that is a part of you because you created it,built it, nurtured it and made it a success. The whole entire YOU, Jennifer, is so much bigger, better, and beautiful than the channel. You might not believe it, but those who love you, who truly love you like your husband and your kids, they know that in your perfect imperfection, you are the wonderful and amazing being they wouldn’t want to miss for the world and wouldn’t want to change one little bit. They would of course want you to be healthy and happy, and to adapt what needs adapting in order to achieve that. Notice I’m not saying change. I’m deliberately saying adapt.
    About medication: I’ve been there, I’ve had that fear. It wasn’t justified. Medication doesn’t change your core, doesn’t change who you are deep inside. All it does is to help you put the demons on a leash and to muzzle them so they don’t hurt you. For a while it can feel strange until you’ve gotten used to them not constantly gnawing at your spirit, and until the rest of you feels strong enough to come out again.
    Hang in there.
    Lots of love from an internet stranger in a little corner of the Belgian countryside. Whatever you choose, it’s got my vote.
    To the wonderful people behind the scenes supporting Jennifer: hang in there too. Thank you for loving her and protecting her. Block those trolls, filter those evil comments and messages. Give her lots of hugs from me (if she’ll have them) and try to find something absolutely absurd to make her laugh. Or something sweet to make her smile. Thank you for being there for her.

    I can feel your pain through this video. I myself have struggled for 39 years with anxiety and mental health issues as well as health issues. One thing ive learned is people who havent struggled dont understand and nothing we say will make them understand. There are people here though that can relate to what you are going through. Take time for yourself. Put yourself first. You can only hide your pain for so long before it starts eating at you. You have to put yourself first. I wish i had an answer for you that would make everything better but i dont. All i can say is find what brings you peace and happiness. Do some self care things, make a tea, take a hot bath with candles, sit and listen to music or the birds chirping outside and do some soul searching. Dont feel like you have to do videos if they will drain you. You will get your groove back when its time. Until then true supporters will be here rooting for you.
    Again i don't have the answers because i myself struggle almost daily but i truly hope you take time for YOU. Take a self care day, heck take a self care month if you need it and remind yourself that you are worthy and you are loved.

I saw another comment here suggesting you get a regular job and have time for yourself. A YT channel demands so much of us and puts a lot of pressure on the on-camera person. We are also producing crocheted and knitted items and patterns and in your case, tutorials - not just producing videos. It’s a lot to deal with. I hope you will take some time to think about what you really want to do and just do it. Take care. ❤

    Jennifer, I just found you and I felt your pain deeply while listening to you through your tears. I’ve followed Michael of the Crochet Crowd forever it seems, and we have all seen him let go of the pain. From someone who did psycho therapy, it is so worth the pain to finally reach the authentic me. I left each session exhausted and drained every time, until the wall came falling down and I could breathe again as me. I asked my therapist when I would ever stop crying and he told me once I poured out all of the pain. It wasn’t until doing the work, that I realized just how verbally and emotionally abused I was by my mother and my first husband. I know about putting on that happy face, while you feel hollow inside. I thought I was protecting myself by putting little parts of me on the self in the closet until one day as I sat in my office at work and the tears rain down my face, that is when I said I deserve better and I started the steps of moving on and away those that brought such pain. Right now you need to put you first and I will enjoy watching all of your previous videos and look forward to see you when you are in a physical and emotional recovering space. Big hugs coming your way ❤!

My husband was dying of colon cancer so it’s very lonely. You came in to my world and it was like when I used to have a neighbor and we drink coffee and we get the kids off to school and visit at her house, you kept me from being lonely you are my good friend and neighbor on RUclips. I am 77 years old. I had to get on antidepressants in 1998 and then what I call my panic pills. There’s a Christian song called in Christ alone. I take my stand so understand that our bodies here on earth have problems and don’t be ashamed. The good Lord bless you and keep you.

    Thank you for your channel, Jennifer. While I love your Cinnamon Stitches view on hooks and yarns and the patterns that you make, your true Jennifer personality is what has me hooked. No one has a perfect life and anyone who says they do, is lying like a freaking rug. Take time to get your health (mental and physical) in a good place because without it you will continue to struggle. Take the time off to spin, dye yarn, take a stroll through your yarn stash of ones you love. If the yarn doesn’t bring you joy, put it on your Etsy because someone may be a big fan of it and at least you made some money back. School will be starting soon and that brings a lot of work so you will want to be in a better space so you and little man can have some fun while learning. Your true fans will be here for however long you need; but maybe post a short reel every now and then to keep us posted. ❤

    Hi Jennifer ❤ I literally feel you hun❣️ I was diagnosed with a recessive genetc disease a few years ago. I was given 1-3 years IF I had a double lung transplant, which I declined. I am on oxygen 24/7/365. Here in Florida, losing the power is almost a daily occurrence. Living with my mother, she saw the anxiety I felt whenever I heard the thunder. Without my knowledge she had a generator installed. Cost her $18,000. Blew me away with guilt and shame. But, it has been a lifesaver for me! I cannot breathe in the heat. This generator takes 5 seconds to acknowledge the power outage and kicks on full blast.. Bless her heart ❤️ she passed away soon after. I thank her everyday for setting my world in motion with her loving gesture.
    Please take care of yourself, stay calm and carry on. You are smart, you are important and you are loved❤❤❤. My best wishes to you and your family ❣️🙏🏼😟😢 You are not alone 💋

    I’m sorry to hear people are being unkind. I’m new to your channel and appreciate how open you are about crocheting garments for people who don’t look like the perfect size that other patterns are being put out. I’m tired of trying to make these patterns fit me. It was so refreshing listening to you say that out loud! I’ve quit knitting or crocheting tops because they never come out right. I’m only crocheting afghans right now. I’m loving that you’re explaining how to crochet for people who are sized differently. I love the purple top you crocheted and other garments.
    I’m looking forward to using your methods of crochet when I get done with my afghans. I hope you’ll get better soon and feel well again. ❤

I wouldn’t have had the courage & confidence to do so otherwise with my 2-3x body that’s been hacked up by a double mastectomy.

    Jennifer, Sweetie. You are wearing to many hats. I've found myself there, too. I'm not an influencer, but for more then 20 years I was a pastor's wife. I had to be on - 24/7. I not only represented my husband and the Church, but Christ Himself. And I raised 2 teens in that and then sons-in-law. And later grandkids.
    The
    I felt the only time I could be me was when I spent time with my friend who lived 4 hours away.
    Best advice I every received was to find a therapist. I clicked with the first one and she had been the best thing for me.
    Unfortunately, her in our nation, mental health is separated from physical health, but they really go together. I tell my girls, if you broke your leg, you'd go to the hospital, right? Just because you can't see where you're broken in your head, you still need to go. They turned that around on me lately--oops!
    And I say seek out ALL the help you need+ to be, physically healthy, mentally healthy, spiritually happy, and emotional health.
    I, too, struggle with mental issues and physical issues ( mostly autoimmune).
    Some days all my hubby eats is pb-j. But he cares for me
    like a princess.
    A few weeks ago I was really struggling.I had just been diagnosed with a brain tumor and a seizure disorder
    He took my hand and whispered in my ear, God knew 44 years ago that you would need me. That's a light that stronger and stronger on those dark days.
    And he gave me my family. And my church family, who suddenly drop by with food. Or my 3yr grandson who thought for a long time that I fell so I could play on the floor with him. He would be down there trying to party with me. Until a about a week ago and he came over and said "Gramma, are you okay?": That melted my heart
    Jennifer, you have a lot of people who are saying, are you okay?"and people who are praying for you.
    If you ever want to talk. I'm on FB and messenger.
    I'm going to pray for you now.
    Dear Lord, I lift Jennifer to you right now.I ask that you wrap your arms around her and whisper "This is why I am here!"
    And help her to feel the arms of her family and her friends, even this of us who live so far away.
    Help her to find the exact mental health people she needs and the precise doctors for her physical issues. Give them all wisdom and compassion.
    And may every comment left on her videos be positive and uplifting. Give her the desire to pick up her hold again, maybe not today. But soon.
    And help her to see that Cinnamon Stitches is just one hat that she juggles.Amem
    (I think a bit of my pastor's wife snuck out)
    Love you, Jennifer

    I have bopped around the you Tube streets for some time. When I cane across BoD she introduced me to a group of creators and will be forever thankful.
    You guys truly make my world a better place. I don't watch any of you for pure entertainment. I truely feel like you are extended family and hurt when I see how ppl can be cruel to individuals that do so much good for our community.
    As many of us I have been suffering from loss and picking up pieces slowly. What you said is 110% the truth that death brings worse out in some and I'm dealing with this also.
    My experience
    I was being hit from every side verbally and being torn apart and felt there was no safe place.
    When I came here some creators helped me see asking for help was not a sign of weakness. Being older it was very hard for me not to feel I needed to be strong on my own.
    I will not lie and I don't care what others may have to say.
    I have been on an antianxity med for 1 year now. Has it been a perfect solution for me... not 100% but it has helped me greatly to calm down and make better decisions.
    No lies
    1st week I was a zombie.
    2nd week much better tho I called it missing a step. Once in awhile I forget something normally I wouldnt.
    After a month pretty much my same self tho easier to make discussion and not hyper foucused spinning in place over things said to me.
    I'm still my same weird goofy self trying my best to muck thru the swamp to a better place.
    The pill just slowed down the what if, I should have, could have done it better, if I known befores and let me keep a steadier path and pace.
    Apologies to those pre last July I know drove some mad. 😂🤗❤
    It's your decision to do what is best for you.
    Just telling my story cause it was an increadbly scary decision for me. And I see that same look on your face I had with the same questions and fears.
    All the LOVE and biggest of HUGS my yarnie friend.🤗💜❤
    And thank you RUclips@!#$

    Donna here, this is about the third time that I've watched your channel. The reason that I watch any channel is I like to see the person be happy about what they are doing. Personally, I don't expect a certain thing from anyone, I just like seeing people happy. If you're not happy making videos or crocheting, then don't. And don't worry about what other people think of you. You just be you and do what makes you happy. As for the community, maybe if everyone goes back to binge watch, it will help with the low numbers during your time away, so you don't have that pressure. Good luck and get better!

It’s the least we can do until our girl is back. You can even go to her playlists and let them run on your phone and tv while crocheting. She really needs the watch time while she is getting better. Thhanks Cinnamon Buns!❤️🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶

    Many of us go through what you are going through now (I am also going through something eerily similar). Just try taking thing one day at a time - more like one moment at a time which is so much harder than it seems. I think you’re a wonderful human being. Take all the time that you need & know that you are not alone. ❤❤❤

    I have found your podcast for the first time, and my heart goes out to you. You have gained a subscriber, not lost one, and I'm going to do what someone else suggested, and go and watch your previous podcasts. Please take care of yourself Jennifer. Hugs from a grandma in New Zealand. X
