The move marked the beginning of her ongoing healing process, and her conscious decision to choose life.

My mental health is almost exclusively linked to sleep. Other sudden stressors are ameliorated with 30 minute of exercise - I call it the “chill pill”(usually cycling outside for 30min).
Insomnia makes depression and anxiety much worse especially if it’s regular insomnia
Dear Sophia I hope you are reading this comment. Please enjoy your life to the fulest. Life is cruel and can be hard sometimes . We all been there more or less. You are beautiful I hope you find someone who makes you even happier. Much love,and dont forget you are loved and never alone.

I wish all those who are fighting in silence to win their battle, to keep going and not to give up, even when you think there is no escape.
I totally relate to her
She has such a beautiful smile

I’m not saying this as an end-all but as a free, easy addition to the multifaceted arsenal of pursuing peace in a struggling time.
Years ago I was chronically depressed. Dark thoughts of offing myself, anxiety, sleep troubles, metabolic fluxes the whole 9. I was also diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. I got tired of it enough that I went in one day to get a blood panel taken thinking I was potentially low on testosterone (23m at the time but T’s been declining for decades and depression’s a symptom) and that was fine, but my vitamin D was low. I’m talkin severely low, and I don’t go outside much + live in a very cloudy environment so that makes sense. Asked what to do, got told about getting more vitamin d in my diet whether by pills or food or both and spending 20+ minutes outside with my shirt off (private enough backyard to do so thankfully) or to aim for about an hour a day if wearing shorts and shirt. So I did.
Long story short I’m feeling better day by day. In the past year several things have started feeling better, and according to days worth of cumulative research vitamin D is a common lacking in this day and age because of time spent indoors.
So I’m not saying it like your boomer uncle but I am saying it in general as a possibility. Try to spend more time outside in the daytime. Walk, ride a bike around a park, jog, hang out with anyone in your life, join a club with outdoors inclusion, volunteer at a community garden - something. But try to do it. I speak from experience it’s not a solution but is a great assistance.
Thank you, thank you thank you very much for adding English subtitles for those of us who can’t see the printed site subtitles. Thank you with strawberries and cream on top.
Such a powerful message at 8:10. 🌟 Thank you for shedding light on mental health issues. Truly inspiring! 💙🙏

Very Inspiring story. ❤Thank You
The butterfly is a symbol of strength for her i see! It is for me as well! I love butterfly's and it helps me to know that life is beautiful and worth living! As a survivor of self harm and almost taking my own life I completely understand what she has gone through.
Just remember your life doesn't belong to us it is borrowed! And life is good to have and to live! to the ones struggling and feeling helpless, keep your head high and know that you are loved. I may not know you but I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON AND DESERVE EVERYTHING!!!
Sofia❤we love you
Nice topic 💖
Alles Gute.. 🙏🤞👏👍..
This world is nothing but a dream, a dream for a lonely 'creator' that needed to create a play/dream/vanitas to keep itself from being alone. I had to share that, that's the ultimate truth, everything I've been through since birth, led me here. Be happy, enjoy your life, it's a short one, and realize this is just a dream and a blip to a creator that is entertaining itself. Much love.
Sadly, that's your "ultimate truth". It is not the absolute truth. Christ is the absolute Truth.
@@Star-Mac10Sadly, that's your "absolute truth". It is not the one truth. The one truth is that We Don't Know.
Truths and beliefs are two different things @@Star-Mac10
@@Melange2 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Interesting 🧐 sounds true
Very cluttered sound with translator talking over speaker

it ruined all video
I'm depressed,and I can't control my eating.I need help
@@jibril2950 you should consider talking to a professional. you are not alone.
They keep doing it like that. I don't know why.
I have a mental health condition that makes me suicidal I pray for better days and everyone else going through mental health ♥️🙏🏼
Same 😔
Same...let's hope we get better, one day.

Depression and anxiety are monsters most people don’t understand.
A protein heavy diet will help her recovery, it really helped me - 50% of my issues were solved by heavy proteins. Cigarettes helped me deal with anxiety day to day.
As a former smoker I do agree that smoking does help to deal with anxiety at the moment of smoking one, but at the same time it causes immense anxiety. I realized that way after I quit it (somehow successfully).
What song is heard in the background at the end of the video ?
All the best dear friend
5 years of head pain every second of it, now on antidepressants and other tablets.
Chin Up.. All The Best..
Sophia ❤
🎉❤So beautiful!

She is so beautiful
I went to the doctors in Germany because I want to end my life, and they gave me a termin after 4 months.
You need to talk about your problems with someone... That is main problem, people do not have time to talk...
It's not always that simple. It's hard to find someone to feel comfortable talking to about personal issues. A lot of people just don't wanna hear it, and they'll even treat you differently or avoid you completely if you tell them certain things.
Come to him ,all who are weary and heavy laden
I’m taking sertiline(zoloft) 50mg is it safe ?
RUclips comments are a terrible place for medical advice
It is not safe to take something of which you don't know if it's safe.
Where did you get the medicine? Why did you not get professional help? Zoloft is not like a sweetie....you need to pay attention.
Let's always do alot of good ❤
Nam myoho renge kyo
A very beautiful girl!
The sterile life on A.I., very dehumazing, lonely
Hope joy faith love
We need unconditional to stop our own life whenever we want medically. My body my choice. Freedom. Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 🏳️
There is free therapy in believing there is a God to whom you leave all troublesome things that are beyond your control. There is free serenity in Him...But in the name of being lodern that free therapy is viewed as non intelligence...
Please like me ❤❤
Believing in One God save us from depression
"Me, choosing life"? No: "I, choosing life." Come on.
Your trivial remark is to be nothing other than dismissed.
@@evaburnz Me just wants people to use objective and subjective forms properly, and it's sad when them don't do it.
can you write a sentence where, i choosING life. would make sense? i choose life. okay but her mcl makes sense.
@@lucasjames7524 How sad is it? The topic of this video is sad, not the grammar used to construct the title. If you try to build people up instead of tearing them down, you will have a better life than the one you're living.
Me definitely am for agreeing to you. 😑
First again
Grade ?
And? What do you have to actually say about the content???
