I know the feeling. Don't give up! I Just featured your channel on my channel home page. Hope this helps. I'll pray for you. 🙏 God bless you and yours. 🕊 🤗 ❤
Omgoodness! Thank you so much!!!! And thank you for the prayers they mean so much to me.
@@CinnamonStitches No problem at all! I'm happy to help, especially with prayers. 🙏 🥰 Don't worry, God will help you. 🕊
Wise words my daughter told me, when she saw that I really needed it: "Take a break, or the break will take you."
Very wise words!! I need to remember that.
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
I walked away from corporate America 15years ago. It was the best thing I could have done for me. Disregard the negatives and take care of yourself..
@@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.😢
Well said. ❤
No lectures, no judgement, no advice, no pressure, no expectations. Sending prayers, good thoughts, hugs and whatever you need to get you on the path to a good place. I hope you get the relief and peace that you need. (Long time viewer that doesn’t usually comment, but felt compelled to let you know that you are worthy and you are not alone.)
I completely agree! I couldn’t have said it better ❤❤❤❤
In the meantime, while Jen is healing, I think we should all start watching all of her videos from the beginning to help her out.
💯💯💯 agree. Watch in regular time and leave 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Yes Cinnamon buns I’m in. I have my playlist playing right now! Get well Jen.
Good call. I'm in
Me too 💯
Great idea!!!
Best way we can help Jennifer is to watch some of her other videos while she takes care of herself 🕊️💖🤗
As a woman who has lived with depression for almost 18 years I get it.. Take time for yourself and your family.. ❤
Me too dear friend. I crochet and junk journal and slow stitch and inhale bought content because drugs scare me and I know they will make me worse not better. You're not alone. Forgive me for being so forward commenting like this.1000 blessings girlfriend
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'm so NEW here. I'm a Great Grandmother who Crochets, Knits, Sews, Tats, am learning to Spindle Spin and on and on like miles of fiber.
❤️🧶👵🧶❤️
I feel the same and out of love...I have struggles in my life also...I watch videos to learn and enjoy. It's hard to watch someone who is upset. Live your life and be happy.
hey Jennifer. youre not alone. i have severe depression and ptsd. i also struggle to crochet when the depression gets bad. take your time. breathe and heal. we're here for you no matter what, even if the channel ends. you are worthy of healing and happiness
❤❤I am close to you, live over on 17, by Gieco. If, you need a friend to just listen, I’m here. I am 77 years old and can relate and understand your feelings. Love. Granny Gladys.
I struggle with anxiety and almost crippling depression, and you are right, it's exhausting. You are not alone in this battle. You will be in my thoughts and prayers Jennifer. I hope you find healing and relief soon. Sending much light, love and peace your way. Take care.
Jennifer, your Son calling you Cinnamon Stitches to his Grandma is because he is so proud of you and holds you in such high esteem. 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 . Stay strong Jen and take your time. Love from Tricia in the UK. ❤
Please feel better.
Amen for that Jenny we love you❤❤❤
Premier Yarns feel like they are supporting you in the video because we believe that your wipe away tear cloth was made with Premier Home Cotton Yarn. You have always supported the Premier Yarns Brand, so please know we are supporting you as you travel through these days in your life journey. Take Care.
What a wonderful admiral company you are. Alot of yarn companies would not go out of their way to give compassionate words like yours. Your a wonderful company Premier Yarns bravo👏. This job can be tough at times but words like yours can go along way.
Gotta love that!
That’s so kind of you. ❤
I don't know you I just subscribed. I have health issues too 😊
@@premieryarns premier you are awesome. Thank you for caring enough to send some love to Jennifer. She honors your company and you just returned the favor. Thank you. Your yarn is some of my absolute favorite. 😍
Please don't worry about your channel. We that love you will always be waiting for you.
100% agree. You are an amazing woman, and I have learned so much from you!! I hope that you get the things that you need to make you happy and healthy, we will be here waiting for you
Don’t forget to watch a few videos everyday until Jn is back!
I am usually a silent watcher but wanted to say I am very sorry you are going through this. You are not alone. A lot of us have travelled down this road and come out in a better place. Take whatever time you need and we will still be here when you are ready. Prayers for you and your family.
Wishing you well no matter what you do.
I hope you come out of this soon. I crochet a lot also then know when it's time for a break
I would buy yarn from you if you decide to do it
I have been under a doctors care for many many years. They do help
My exact thoughts
Burn out sucks. Do what you need to do to be healthy and happy. I got burned out 6 years ago. I left my business and moved across the country to California. People think I'm crazy but the changes saved my life. My thoughts are with you.
Thank you for your amazing and brave honesty and vulnerability. I’m honored to get a glimpse of Jennifer. 💐🦋
I have gotten to know and love you for being you. You are Jen, wife, mother, aunt and friend. Your channel is Cinnamon Stitches where you, Jen, bring yarn to life. Do what you need to do for yourself, no one else. Sending positive vibes and prayers to my friend. 💕
I love you, I have several videos to watch, I have been really busy at work, but August 1st is my last day at work. I am going to clean houses. That helps keep my mind busy.
Lift your face towards the light and let the darkness fall behind you - there is light ahead, guaranteed.
I hid from anxiety and depression for decades by reading books. Finding the courage to ask for help and finding the right medicine was life changing. Tried a few but KNEW when we found the right combination. I hope that you find your happiness again, Jennifer
Go to Sally’s get bleach additive to strip the red to get through the golds. Nothing come make me not like you Jen. Your a longtime friend and I uae to do hair so I know a few drops would get you through the gold tones. Girlfriend, we are here to support you everyday. 😊❤
Fellow crocheter here, who found you during 2020. Jennifer, your kind and loving personality shines through in your videos and your beautiful accent is a joy to listen to as you demonstrate tutorials and share about life.
I made a top for my teenage niece that your daughter recommended (how else am I going to keep up with the trends!) and your whole family is an absolute delight.
I appreciate how you blend creativity with chat and delve seamlessly into the deeper stuff too.
Thank you for all that you do, please take a break if you need to, we’ll all be here for you when you return 😊🫶☘️
I don’t know if you will read this but hearing you be raw about your feelings has helped me. I can relate to what you are feeling and I suppose I have been in absolute denial. Thank you for opening up and being so honest . ❤
So sorry for your struggles. No amount of money is worth your mental health. Take the time you need to focus on yourself. This community is amazing and will be here for you when/if you are ready to return. I hope you can find the peace you need. Much love to you ❤
Jen, you take care of Jen! Your true Cinnamon Buns will stand by you! In defense of Chris, he probably called you Cinnamon Stitches because he knew you were filming.
I may not know you personally but I care about you. Please Jen, do what you need to for you and your family. If that means stepping away, so be it. When and if you decide this brings you joy again, I will be here.
Even Mike from Crochet Crowd had to take a break he now does minatures to keep him from being burnt out.
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 know what it is to struggle with depression. Thank you for sharing the real you. Take what time you need to take care of you.
I love your new haircut!! It looks GREAT on you!!
You inspire so many of us to think of ourselves as worthy of feeling beautiful. You don’t have to make yourself unwell. Don’t make what you love into something you hate. Take the break, look after yourself, we will be here and love you. You are loved and appreciated. You deserve to put you first xxxx❤❤❤
Remember. I crochet because I want to I don’t think I would want to if it was because I had to. I couldn’t do it if it was because I had to. I feel for you. Just do it for yourself and do it for pleasure and things will clear up for you You have to get back to your love for the craft. It’s ok to say no to pressure. Praying for you
Thank you for sharing Jennifer. Take all the time you need. Prayers for happiness and health..🙏🏻💖 You are loved!😘
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.
Prayers for you Jen we love you and you come first ❤✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏😭
I truly understand. I have dealt with depression, off and on, all my 76 years. It helped me when I became my own best friend and treated myself that way. Take care of yourself, dear Jennifer. If it helps with your income for me to watch your old videos let me know and I will make that a daily habit of watching while you take a break. Sending you Light and Love, Linda.
I think that's an awesome idea!
That is a great idea. I currently have her playlist running while I crochet. 🧶
Wise words, something this 65 year old needed to hear. Get well, Jennifer. Hugs💞
Hang in there Jennifer. You are seen, heard and loved.
This can help other people who feel the same way!
Thank you, Premier Yarns for supporting a long time supporter of your business. Jennifer, I am thinking of you and pray you find a way to solve your dilemma. 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. ❤
Praying for you. Do what is best for you. Do not listen to the negativity. We love you and your videos.
You have been dealing with grief, the stress of being a loving mother and wife, the stress of being a small business owner, and the stress of being a public figure. It's exhausting and you need to take some time for self care and recharging. You can't pour from an empty cup. Big hugs, positive vibes, and prayers sent your way to help lift you up and shore you up. BTW. I think the real Jennifer is pretty cool and I want you to be happy and healthy. 🥰🤗🤗
Well said!❤️🧶
Ditto
If you need to take a break go ahead do so! You health is more important to all of us that love you! We will be here for you❤.
It takes courage to bare yourself to the public. There are so many nasty people lurking behind keyboards.
Please try not to take it personally. They aren't worth your tears.
You do what you gotta do and real people will be right here rooting you on. We see your heart.
Jennifer, you have taken the first step in getting well by being open to your followers but most importantly to yourself. The true followers will stay with you and it’s no loss for the ones who don’t. I said a prayer for you to lift this dark cloud that is plaguing you. Please be kind to yourself as you endeavor to get through this. I will look for your posts as you feel able to post. God bless 🙏🏻🕊️
Jennifer give yourself some grace, breathe and know your loved. I understand some of what you’re saying, my brother passed in February and I couldn’t care less about anything or anyone. I do crochet but just little things. You take your time and heal.
Jennifer you take care of you the channel can wait and if you decide to step away I will understand. It’s suppose to be fun not a chore. Take time for yourself and for your mental health. Please don’t let people destroy you . I love you for who you are and you are such a wonderful human being. I want you to heal and you really need to do just that. I will always be here for you whether you have a channel or not. I love you.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jennifer I am praying you will feel better.The most important thing right now is you. Please take a break enjoy day by day.. All your followers will be waiting for you if you decide to come back. Thank you for telling us what’s going on with you. Many prayers for your health. One advice just block those haters or comments that make you feel bad. Please take care of yourself.❤❤❤❤
Take care of yourself, Jennifer! You are needed by your wonderful family who loves you, knows you, and wants you to be happy. Your subscribers who are here to learn from you or just plain enjoy seeing you share yarns, thoughts, and tidbits of your life will still be here when you return. Please know you're not alone, and I have the utmost respect for you being raw and real with us. Much love and prayers, Jennifer.
Been traveling so haven't had a chance to see the full video until now.
You take care of yourself. Mental health is nothing to take lightly. Get the help you need, take the time you need, do what you need. We will be here when (or if) you're ready to return.
I hope you were not pressured by anyone to share such personal information on YT.
Sending you love from Iowa.
Weeping may endureth for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Guess what? IT'S MORNING! Shine like the sun does. I've been watching you about a year & I love the fact that you opened up & showed us your heart. Thank you it's inspiring. Don't let the negativity dim your light. . .KEEP BLINGING & DO YOU!! Everything will work itself out & you'll be fine. 💜❤💜
Jen I'm a silent watcher. I love everything you do. I first love you as a person. I have read some other comments. You have so many people who love YOU. SO this comment probably will get lost. I know you believe in pray. KEEP THE FAITH!
Please please don’t let people do this. You be you . Which is fabulous. Hugs 😊
Absolutely agree!
I have heard this from other podcasters that just sew or some craft and I find it so awful!!!!
You are awesome and I think what I’ve heard from you about your family that you are all so awesome!! You son is adorable!!!
Don’t let the haters get to you!!!
I hope you find comfort and joy in crocheting and you channel again. My Dad has always told me life is too short to be miserable, find joy. If that means leaving the channel, you must take care of yourself first. Love and support coming your way.
Sorry you cut your hair for for the wrong reason, but I find it very cute.
I think it’s cute too…before you even mentioned the purple…hang in there….❤
I know when i am upset about something I cannot eat either. Even with what you are going through......your smile and your laugh is still coming through!❤
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 ❤!
Oh Jen! You are seen, you are loved and you are respected and you are enough. The infinitesimal piece you share with your viewers is bigger than you might think. You are an amazing sweet, loving person. You’re a fierce defender of those you hold dear. You are a crafter who can make any attempt at a new craft look far easier than it is.
Thank you for putting yourself out there, self-care is so important. ❤ Thinking of you.
Thank you so much for being honest about your feelings. I just got a very scary diagnosis, and you always brighten my day. You are such an amazing, strong, kind-hearted mother. We are here for you, and thank you for being here for all of us. I love you, my friend. God bless
God Bless You for being real. Give yourself some grace and take care of you!
I want you to know that I have been blessed by you.I found you during Covid. my husband and I had to go to Waco Texas to take care of my sister. 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.
I know the hand crafts are supposed to bring stress relief; however, I find they can be very stressful too! I have to be in the mood to pick up my crafts. Jennifer, we love you!! You take care of yourself. Our bodies let us know when we need to step back for a while. You are trying to process a family loss and also take care of your son. Sending big hugs to you!!!
Jen please take what ever time you need to heal yourself. I will start from the beginning and put in watch hours. You definitely need to give yourself everything. I love you Jen and thank you for everything that you have done for this crafty family. We are a family. I love you for being Jen ❤. Give the family big hugs ❤
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. ❤
May you find your path peace and happiness. Sending hugs and love.
I don’t know what that feels like because crochet still comforts me but I’m not doing it for a living.
I see that you're down and I am lifting you up!!! Lifting you in prayer, sending so much love and hugs. You are right, YOU deserve to take care of you,first and foremost. It's ok not to be ok and it's ok to say you're not okay. Do what's best for you. We will still be here!!!
AMEN!
We love Jennifer for the amazing, strong, caring, creative woman she is!
Lifting you up in prayer!
We love you so take care of Jen FIRST. RUclips comes second.
Take care of Jen ❤🙏🏾
I agree!
I hope everyone is listening to what you’re saying. Very eloquently said not only for yourself but others going through “life”. Snippet, is the perfect word, people only see a snippet of a life. Take care of you.
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 💋
That was the absolute definition of a mothers love.
Give only when you can, and share only what you want. You don't owe anyone more than that.
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. ❤
Jennifer is the best at explaining how to make garments fit our own bodies! She’s given me the confidence & teaching to learn how to make wearables for myself this year. 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.
Whenever she says- Hello, Gorgeous. I know I can rock the outfit!😊
Love you girl!💛
We'll continue to keep you lifted up in prayer
Take time sweet Jennifer. Just breathe. Pray and do what is best for you and your family. You may just need a break. Sending love to you
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

Love you, Jennifer
I just watched this video. So sorry that you’re feeling so sad. Take the time to take care of YOU. All of us that really care about you understand😘🤗
Jennifer, We love you! You are 100% authentic. The loss of Grandma has to be overwhelming for you and the family. Please take care of yourself and keep us posted. Sending lots of love & prayers your way. Hope you are feeling yarny soon. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I completely understand and suffer from depression and anxiety. Shame on those individuals who had the audacity to talk about your child. That is never okay. He is a wonderful, smart and charming young man. It is perfectly okay to take time for yourself and step away. Your fans will be here for you. Rest, recuperate, do what you brings you joy. I am lighting a candle for you and your family during this time.
Jennifer thanks for the update. I am sorry for your suffering from mental illness. I worked many years in psychiatric units and now retired. Depression response to antidepressants is well known and worth for you to check about it. Please have hope for wellness. Having a break also means a lot. You are not alone, we are here for you.hugs
Children & family are OFF limits! No one gets to judge anyone’s parenting!
It breaks my heart seeing you struggling so much.😢 All the best for you! Take your time and get yourself the help that you need. I 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@!#$
I had been subscribed to you and just seen I wasn't any more.
My apologies it's hard to see ones that drop. My sub list is large and try to include everyone.🤗💜❤
Jenn, you as JENNIFER, is the reason I watch your channel. When COVID started, I found your channel and I am so thankful I did. Please, take care of you! And keep taking care of you. If you need to take a break, do it....we love you and we will be here for you ❤️! Its ok to sit and stare, but move around some, too. Please know that I am sending prayers 🙏 up for you and sending you hugs and tons of love ❤❤. You have helped me in the past,,,and you didn't know it. I hope that my prayers and thoughts help you. Blessings, my friend ❤️!!!!
Jennifer you are enough, however you are. You are loved beyond measure. ❤️ Thank you, for your authenticity. Hugs!
Oh Jennifer big hugs from someone who loves watching your videos. Just to let you know you have taught me so much about sizing for my xl body. Big hugs to you and your family. Just take care of yourself. ❤
Same!
Prayers for you to heal and come back STRONGER.
Please be gentle with yourself, take time out as you need, slow down if you need.
Thankyou for being so real and honest, and trusting us with how you are feeling.
Jennifer, you are loved. Loved by many of us, loved most importantly, by God. Hugs and prayers.
Health and family always first, getting yourself well comes first, lots of prayers and hugs to you and family❤
O honey, I feel your pain. I'm so sorry that people suck. Take care of you and yours. I too struggle on the daily. I don't know what to say for encouragement except that you are not the only one with these issues, physical, mental or emotional.
One day at a time ❤
Pause, ponder, proceed.
I just found your page today and this is the first video I've seen... I'm sorry for whoever and whatever is hurting you .... I'm praying for you !
Take care and take time, the time you need to get back on your feet. It's okay to ask for help. God bless you and your family, Jennifer ❤❤❤
Jennifer, you have helped me throughout the last few months. I have been home recovering from a near fatal accident. You're a beautiful human, mother, and friend to people who don't even know you regardless of your hair color. Your hair looks gorgeous, by the way. Take care of yourself.
Jen, you inspired me to pick up my needles and hooks in the very beginning. Then you kept me company in the middle of the night during my cancer treatment. Now I send you hugs and love as I receive hospice care, some days I can knit and crochet. Some days I can't. But THANK YOU for pouring yourself out here. It has blessed me so much.
Take care of yourself.

Praying for you also, Gina! Thank you for sharing!💛
@@lyndamorstain4761 thank you!!
Hey! You got a haircut! Looks great Jen 😀 Hang in there, we’re with you in thoughts and prayers. Of course this heat and humidity aren’t helping either. 🩷
I wish I could convey how very well I relate and understand how you are feeling. And, in saying that I wish I had words of comfort, but I've never heard them and can't even imagine what they would be. I just thought that those words might be "I'll love you no matter.". We sit in judgement from others AND ourselves constantly and wish to be accepted unconditionally. I'm sending you a true hug!
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!
❤ sending you tons of hugs! Please take care of yourself and your beautiful family
I have been a long time follower of your channel and love all your videos. Thank you for being real, raw, and honest with us today. It’s okay to admit you’re not okay. Please take care of yourself so when your ready we can see your beautiful happy self. Love you!
I suffer from ptsd with severe anxiety and crochet is something that brings my anxiety down. I’m sorry it’s effecting you negatively. I am going to go through your playlists and watch some videos whether I know the stitch or not. So that way some income comes in and maybe you can take a break.
Just take care you most important thing
Not okay how people are treating you so sorry 💕
Wool roving so gorgeous
You are Jennifer ❤ beautiful person inside on outside
💜💜💜
I think a lot of us are feeling something similar.
Recently discovered your channel, and HONORED that you share your jourmey with us. Those little tidbits of real life sprinkled in is inspirational 😊 Sending prayers 🙏
Therapy helped me. It took a few to find the right one. She helped me with my brain and how I think about the bad stuff. Still have lots of bad days, but have as many good ones. Step away and take care of you. We will be here.
I don’t care if you’re bald, you’re still Jennifer,ms.cinnamon stitches !!! And you do what you want to and I will stand behind you 100%.❤️❤️❤️
Hello Jennifer. You are extremely brave and caring for doing this video for us. I only just discovered your channel recently and I love what you do. Do what you need to do for yourself. I’m sure many of us have older videos to binge on. Keep being you, and I will see you when you are ready. ❤❤❤
Jennifer, you are light and it shows every day through your caring of others, it’s time for you to take good care of yourself 🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜 sending you healing energy, strength and positivity. We got you! Love from Alaska
I have been subscribed to your channel for a long time. 😊 People are so cruel!!! I have major depression and crochet is my outlet.Take as long as you need your true friends will still be here❤ In the meantime i will continue watching your videos. Sending big hugs and prayers your way🥰
Please Help Jen @Cinnamon Stitches ❤ by watching at least 2 videos a day until she feels better and can be back! Make sure to hit the👍 and comment to let her know you watched. 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!❤️🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶
Jennifer, you take care of yourself, we enjoy you sharing your thoughts but know we love and appreciate you no matter what, you are a very talented person. We love you!
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
