A Little Note From Me:
This vlog was filmed a few weeks ago. I am doing much better now and wanted to make sure you guys knew that. I am sorry it took me so long to get this video up - I was waiting on it to be approved by the sponsor and I have also just not been myself. I'm still going through a lot of weird changes in my life - but doing a lot better now than I was in this vlog. I appreciate all of your love and support and can't thank you enough for sticking with me through life's ups and downs.

As a therapist, I would say just be kind to yourself as you’re getting of certain meds or doses change. Keep track of how you’re feeling what you experience and talk about it in therapy. At your age also there’s that time where you can experience negative thinking patterns and excessive worrying but can also be due to low dosage. Just practice a lot of mindfulness and grounding techniques. Everything you are saying is valid. I hope the process gets better ❤️
I have been watching your channel for two years now and I still get excited when I get an alert of a new video posted. Push through this!! We love your content and you are doing a great job 💕💕
Melissa, thank you for sharing. I actually scheduled a follow up appt with my PCP to discuss stress, anxiety, sleep issues etc. next week so I am right there with you. Wishing you the best.
Melissa, you’re such a humble soul and that’s why we love you 💕
I’ve been feeling this way lately as well but bare in mind that we just lived through “history”. We are all emotionally and mentally unstable because we lived through a pandemic-saw or heard of many people dying etc. We have to keep going. I 100% agree with how you feel.
I experienced it in my late 20s, I’m experiencing again in the mid-30s. Life isn’t easy, it throws curve balls, but just focus on what the things that make you happy. I think society pushes the idea that you have to love your job, and that everything you do has to be a “passion”. It’s just not the case, your job can just be the thing that allows you to afford to do what makes you happy. I’ve been told to find what you consider success (not what success looks like to people on the outside), and just work towards that. Success doesn’t have to be job related, and it doesn’t have to be about “hustling”.
melissa stay strong!! I understand u...do you know your vlogs make me calmer, makes my depressed phases a lot better.. i live for you..
Melissa I just want to say you’re not alone in this ❤️ I can relate to what you were describing about the way you feel especially in the evenings. My anxiety was super heightened during the pandemic and I was having panic attacks quite often. We’re all here for you and support you 😘 I always look forward to your videos no matter what it is. Thank you for being vulnerable in this one. You’re not alone. And this goes for anyone reading this comment 💜
Hey sweetie. I watch your videos since pretty much the beginning and I just want to say that you are inspiring. You inspired me so many times! I love to see your vlogs, you evolved so much the past years! What you’re going through is normative, remember that. It’s not gonna last forever! You can do this, you’re brave! Take as much time as you need. Work on yourself. I’m sending you good vibes and lots of love. You can do this!
Thank you for being so brave and sharing this part of your life on the internet.While it may not seem this way at times you are doing amazing. You are bringing great content for your subscribers, and awesome merchandise to your customers. I truly believe that everyone experiences a time in their life similar to what you are going through but are too afraid to share it.This feeling will pass in due time please be patient with yourself and give yourself the time that you need to deal with this period of life. Your subscribers will still be there and thrilled with whatever content you provide. Your mental health is most important so please take care of yourself first.
Longtime watcher here and I’m so happy you chose to share your struggles. I know it’s not easy and it can take a lot to share every aspect of Uour life, even the struggles. I have family members who also deal with anxiety and anti depressants so truly understand the fog of the medication. hope things get better for you soon!
Love you so much and praying for you, thinking of you, sending hugs as well. 💜 I've been in that place, I don't want to tell you it'll get better however, you'll be able to get through it.
I've spent the last 3-4 months in therapy and there's been many highs and many lows. Sticking to it though has been LITERALLY a life saver for my healing and mental well being. Love you girl, here for you!!!
You're NOT crazy and as far as the comments (sometimes a person has to put a pause on them) especially when going through hard hard things. Your content is NOT always the same and quite honestly I love your channel so much and all the love and effort you pour into it!!!! Here for you 😇
Melissa dear💞 honestly there is nothing wrong with you, it's just life..😢 I understand too well what you are talking about. I never had any problem with anxiety but at my last job it was so bad i could not sleep, my overall health was the worst ever and ended up going into therapy for the 1st time ever. I decided to quit when my therapist said I should try antidepressants and I am so glad I quit. However it definitely did not solve everything at once. I still get way more anxious than ever before, sometimes I still can not sleep, and my digestion is still messed up and just like you said I have no idea what I am doing and I have always been just like you, always having a plan and being motivated. I guess this is just a bad period, it won't last forever, but yeah right now it is still freaking hard. I love you! Thank you for your videos!! They are not boring at all!! I also love putting them on while I clean the house or just watch one to get some motivation during lunch💞🥲 i hope you have a nice day😊
Thanks for sharing Melissa. I am in my late 20s and also going through this weird stage like you said leaving going young adulthood and going into actual adult hood.. and also life not being what I imagined it to be at this point. But I know life is all about unraveling the unknown so really taking things slow and practicing mindfulness is helping me. Love you 💛
On a brighter note, I've been through depression and anxiety also, and took myself off of my meds. It takes time to figure things out. Just stick with therapy, & never give up. I still have bad days, but I'm in a better place now. Good luck to you!!!
I love you channel! I totally get where u are coming from. I recently started therapy and I have been going through the same thing, questioning my life decisions, feeling tired all the time. But you are right it will get better. I would say the biggest thing I have learned from therapy is that you need to give yourself credit for the things you have done. Even if it is just getting out of bed. I am glad to see/hear someone else is kind of going through the same thing. I know everyone is different but I love how you are being authentic and showing your “true self”. 💞💞
Girl I feel you. When I made the decision to get off my antidepressants I did it because I felt like “I can do this myself.” And immediately after I felt like crap, but I did pass! As your body adjusts and starts to learn “oh okay we gotta do this ourself now” your mood and energy will start to stabilize. Definitely give yourself the grace to readjust, don’t be so hard on yourself. This is a new step in your life and if you need to take a step back from anything to find your footing, do it! We just want you happy and healthy however that may be.
your content is not boring. it’s routine, and i find it quite comforting, because that’s a reflection of real life. not every day/week/season is “exciting” and that’s okay!
I have been going through a lot these last few weeks that make me question a lot of things. Thank you for sharing something so personal
As some one with anxiety and depression and gone off and on meds, it will get better! Just be patient with yourself and you aren’t alone. Also keep in mind that you may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms from going off your meds but that will also improve. You got this! ❤️
You made me emotional. It's so sweet of you to share this moment of 'weakness' with us. All of us struggle sometimes but it's what it takes for a star to be born, it needs to collapse first.
I understand what you mean about taking yourself off the antidepressants. I got too ambitious with myself and my health, I thought I was doing alright and I thought everything in my life was "fixed". But when talking to my therapist about it, he said "yeah your alright now because the medication is working and your life is on the upside right now. But because you are in such a place where things can change so quickly, messing with something that can help you stay okay right now might not be the best idea". And about two months later I went downhill so bad and just was in a rut that I am just now getting out of. Getting off of medication is a whole ride in itself and then on top of all of that, you're still growing in your business and youtube and your relationship, your whole life. Day by day girlie you got this.
Melissa, please stop saying things like, “idk what is wrong with me.” You are a human 💛 nothing is “wrong” with you. Your body is trying to figure itself out and you don’t need to defend yourself for feeling those feelings. Us, your viewers, are here for you and want you to be ok ☺️ take care of yourself girl, love you!
Keep pushin! You’ll get through it with time.
When I went off my antidepressant, I also weaned off. I was MISERABLE. So depressed, hated everything and everyone, thought I was gonna have to get back on the meds, but then a month or so after I was completely off of them, it went away and I felt back to my normal self. It’s weird and a terrible experience. I was against going on antidepressants, but I did get back on. Have tried multiple different ones nothing is helping so again weaning myself off.
I understand you I have ptsd. I have been on antidepressants for years before I got to a healthy place before coming off and it was worse coming off then going on. Take your time with yourself cry when you need to and have your support in place to help you through it. You got this. Prayers heading your way
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND how you feel. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Coming off of those meds is extremely difficult. When you’re feeling down please know that you don’t need to know all of the answers concerning your future. Take one day at a time, even one minute at a time if you need to. You are definitely not crazy. It’s amazing that you’re going to therapy and sharing your pain with your RUclips family. Pain shared is pain lessened. Please hang in there. We love you. ❤️
I am so sorry you are dealing with this. Missed seeing you here and glad your back. Just take each day as a new and don't worry about what you didn't get done the day before. You have this.
Do not apologize for not posting much, your health comes first
I been there in my 20's ,now in my 30's i m much better, life happens, block the noise and do the things that you like, its okey not have everything figure it out, its okey to take time to do nothing, you dont have to be super productive every single day and that fine. I like your vlogs. Nails, hair,books,cooking! Dont get discurage!( sorry for my english , im spanish)❤
Long time subscriber here! I went through a disassociative episode earlier this you. You are not alone. These feelings are normal. Even your blank stares I resonate with you. It feels never ending in the moment, but I can promise you it will pass. I’m so sorry you’re going though/went through this. Its one of the most terrifying feelings.
You do NOT sound crazy at all. We all have our ups and downs and there doesn’t have to be a reason for it. When I’m in a rut, I try to schedule things to look forward to: family time, friend time, date nights, going to a park, etc. We’re here for you ☺️
I have been going thru the same thing (well, feel like semi the same). I personally believe its like majority of us are expressing to you. We all go thru this at some point in our lives and this will pass. Remembering to be kind to yourself and keep doing what makes you happy (obvi easier said than done) but you will get thru this! we are all rooting for you and support you!
Now, for those expressing "revamp your content" either haven't been around since the get go of way back when you were er tech, your school, transitioning to your new role, etc, so they are going to feel like a jab or whatever. Pluuuuuus you are only humannnnn! just because you are on youtube famous doesn't mean you have to exploit your life 24/7. Like you sharing your dinner convo with the family or whatever... i hope this makes sense if you even read this winded comment!
In summary, you are doing great! I love watching your content from GRWM to spa days, organizing, your business and even the RAW MOMENTS in your life! I admire you for reaching out and getting a hold on your mental health! and I appreciate the opportunity to semi experience your journey!
Melissa,
We all go through a crisis on how or what is the next of stage of life. I couldn’t figure out that career that I want to take would be passionate about to go to work everyday. You take your time to acknowledge what your feelings are standing. Our minds have a mind of their own. Stay Positive! As much possible. Pray !! A lot. That’s what helped a lot on what you are going through. Take care.
Focus on your mental health ❤️
Take All the time you need
Self care and focusing on your mental health is super important
Thanks Jasmin!! Couldn't agree more... taking some time offline was important! I'm feeling much better as the days go on 🖤
Nothing is "wrong" and you don't sound crazy! The transition to adulting is scary and coming off of meds is tough...been there! Keep doing you lady!
Take all the time you need your mental health is more important hope you feel better
Thank you so much Daja! Feeling better as the days go on. 🖤
Love you melissa
Omg melissa I cant see u like this girl🥺 its ok life sucks sometimes actually alot of times but its ok... everyone goes through this... i love your content and i love watching your videos they motivate me to do alot so don’t think it’s not doing anything... lots of love hope you get out of this situation... but don’t worry everything will be alright
Im 33 and have been on antidepressants for about 7 years now. At this point I think I’m just going to stay on them for life just because I’m so scared to get off them. I’ve heard it’s super hard but at some point it gets much better. Just take it slow and keep strong
I take antidepressants for depression and anxiety and I just wanted to send good vibes your way. You can do this and just take everything at your own pace because mental health is so important. I wish you the best.
Going through the exact same thing right now and am the same age as you! I am questioning everything right now and I’m not sure if it’s my brain thinking I need to constantly be productive or if I’m actually choosing things that will make me happy. Life is hard
I went through a quarter life crisis. I understand about depression and not a lot of motivation.
I fully support you trying to wean off depression meds. Right now just doesn't sound like the best time for you. Hugs!
I am so glad you are doing better than when you filmed this video. It is really difficult when trying to go off meds. You are sooooo normal. You are so beautiful and you are doing a great job. I’m sure your therapist has probably suggested it, but have you tried ‘tapping’ also called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I found in my ‘down times’ also listening to Louise Hay videos, audios or similar can help bridge the gap for you until you are back on track for yourself. I hope this helps my love. Remember you are so worthy to be empowered and stand in your own power. Sending you lots of love and blessings. Xo
Good morning happy Wednesday morning and I loved your channel and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
Can you link your glasses? So cute!
You don’t sound crazy ❤️❤️ anxiety sucks
Hi Melissa! Thank you for sharing! I've been a silent or 'ghost viewer' (as they call it) for about 2 years now and I genuinely love your content. I especially love the boutique content and that might be because I use to have a small online boutique as well (hoping to relaunch in the fall). I think your content is so great! I feel like people genuinely love the familiarity with your videos. Take for example The office, its one of the best shows cause of the familiarity of it. I say don't listen to those few people who ask for different content. keep doing what you're doing, but if you're genuinely not happy have you considered maybe doing some challenges? Like maybe your favorite amazon purchases, maybe redecorating and showign the whole process of it (idk just spit balling ideas). Also, thank you for being so open with us. I've been experiencing some depression/anxiety after my second baby and even more now with my new birth control. It's definetly tough, so please stay strong. I know that when it gets dark, it can get really dark, so just push through and stay strong. You have so many more beautiful days ahead of you!
Also have you read the mountain is you? I recently read this a couple of months ago and definelty helped me. I did cry reading this book...I feel like it was very therapeutic and kind of like seeing a therapist (at least for me). Stay strong girly! We love you!
Awe this makes me so sad to see😭 I know I can speak for the majority of us when I say your content is truly impactful! I would definitely hate to see you disappear from RUclips but you always HAVE to do what makes you truly happy!! I hope everything gets better for you, sending lots of love your way 🤍🤍
Thanks for sharing! Your not alone!!! This is me… My life is a confusing. Im stuck. I feel like what should i do? What do i need to be needing? Am i doing enough? We all go through it.. Its life. Each day is different.. feel better.
U will feel better I have anxiety and depression
I feel like EVERYONE goes through a little crisis at your age, my husband and I both did for sure! Now in our 30’s I can assure you that it’s very temporary. Just do things that makes you happy, and all will fall into place. I think the timing is just a bit of coincidence of you weaning off medication-take your time🤍
Thank you for this - feels good to know I'm not the only one. I was also told by some others in their 30's they too experienced the same thing in their upper 20's. Appreciate you 🖤
Hey Melissa! I know you mentioned that you had a full round of blood work done but did they check your thyroid and Vitamin D? I tend to struggle with the same thing of being tired all the time and usually when i feel that way, my vitamin D is low and that can mess up a lot of things in your body especially your thyroid which can also lead to depression and anxiety. And trust me, you’re not alone in this. I have my days where i feel down and want to cry for no reason and anxiety that lasts for weeks. It’ll get better, i promise. Just don’t give up on yourself. You got this!
I have anxiety and depression to and it sucks sometimes
I have the same 2 disorders 🥺 except my psych only wanted me on the meds for no more than a year .I say just do what feels right, you don’t need to be productive everyday. Just take it one day a time, we are only human. ❤️ here if you want to talk about it
I like the music intro to this video. What’s the name of the song?
❤❤
How old are you? I’m also going through the same thing as you right now
I feel like I’m going through a mid life crisis too. I’m in my 30s too. 😔
I would love to model for you! I’m flat lol haha Girl! You’re amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m finishing the video now, and I totally understand what you are going through because funny enough I’m literally going through the same stages in my life. I live in Miami not so far from you 🙂 if you ever need a friend to talk or something we can meet each other 😊☺️ you are doing greattttttttt!!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi
I love your content and wish you nothing but the best! I wonder if maybe a part time job might not help? You would make new friends, see new people, maybe help set some new goals- but also still have time for YT and Sunstyled? I don’t know - I just wish you happinesses.
lk kYk ElkEdAG NAAR JE SONY ZV-E10 😭😭😭2022
I have a feeling that your pregnant:)
Hahaha I can confirm I am not pregnant lol! 😅
Yikes!!! That plastic sound! 😱😱😱
Seek Jesus Christ he takes away all depression all anxiety I use to deal with this and he delivered me from it ❤️ Seek our lord
100% he is the true healer .
I’m not on anti-depressants but I was on anxiety medication because I, too suffer from anxiety. I’m not taking the medication anymore but I feel like at times I have to be back on it. I understand your struggle. I’ll pray for you. Just know have faith because in life we all go through challenging things. Your RUclips videos are not the same because you have a business and productivity! It’s not like other same videos which is why I subscribed to you. You’re productive and work hard so please keep on working hard. It’ll pay off in the end. Don’t listen to those saying negative comments. I’m older letting you know my wisdom…🤍
