Rachael Brown that’s so exciting! My best advice is to not worry about making it super beautiful or perfect...just let it be whatever you need it to be, and you’ll love it! Thanks for watching, Welcome to the bullet journal fam! ❤️
Ok, shut the front door!. Journaling and mental health.... YES! I absolutely support and cheer for this video! Yes! Thank you. I will watch this again, from time to time. Liked and subscribed.
I love using my bullet journal for mental health and self care! Also, again...THANK YOU FOR 200 SUBSCRIBERS! It means the world to me that even one person is subscribed to my channel, let alone 200. Thanks so much for watching! 💕
I've been struggling with bipolar disorder for years and my memory is a major issue. Memory keeping pages and therapy notes are brilliant!! Thank you!!
I just found you on here today. My anxiety and depression have gotten really bad and it is exhausting.. I am so excited to try these ideas. As I’m starting to go to therapy I think this will be helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate you.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I have bpd, depression and anxiety. I'm high functioning which is great but somedays I cant get out of bed. This is amazing. I'm putting all these pages in my Bullet Journal. I love the mean girl page, my internal dialog is intense, I never thought to write out the thoughts instead of trying to quiet the thoughts. Great video. I am also a strong believer in therapy. Everyone should have a therapist.
Alysha, thank you for being so vulnerable and open in sharing your struggles!!! I'm so happy these layouts helped you. I completely agree with you about therapy!!
I was just remarking the other day during mental health awareness training that bullet journaling is a powerful tool for helping individuals organize their life and keep track of their self care. You've done a great job pulling it all together as an example for beginners
thank you for the well thought out reply! :) bullet journaling has been a transformative experience for healing and learning more about myself and my mental health. Thanks for watching!
I love this so much !! It’s 2 am rn and I’m watching this video and the first thing I’m doing in the morning is go buy a journal, I definitely love this!!
I thank you for making videos for mental health. I have struggled with my mental health for many years and I do try to keep up with it. I never thought to do memory keeping in my journal, very cool indeed! I may even be able to try and do a simple bullet journal as well. Although to be honest I have never been able to keep up with planning. But you my lady have given me hope again that it's ok not to be perfect at it, just try and be simple. For me it's literally sometimes one minute at a time. Thank you again and God bless.
I have suffered from anxiety and depression for a few years and I have decided to start a bullet journal to help me keep track of where I am and how far I have come (or not). I love the idea of the gratitude log so I'm going to use that... Thank you
Love this video! I am dealing with a ton of anxiety and depression as well as grief from losing my brother and I have been trying to figure out how to do my bujo that I got. I plan on using the Happy Planner Happy Notes Journaling system. I currently use a Happy Planner Classic as my planner which helps me keep everything on track but I just want to be able to write my thoughts and things like that.
Rebecca Davis so sorry for your loss ❤️ you can use these layouts in any notebook or planner..happy planners are beautiful! Hope you find these layouts helpful if you decide to try them out. Thanks for watching!
I am so glad i came across your channel...im fighting depression and anxiety since many years and when i learnt about bullet journalling and watched videos for layouts and stuff, i would try them and get so overwhelmed in couple of months and just give up!!! I would always end up writing a lot of stuff, feelings, etc, not much task oriented and my journal wouldnt match any of the highly achieved bujo videos!!! It would put me down. After watching this video i realise it was me doing the journalling my way, more like what i needed to be doing for my mental health! Thanks a lot for your honesty :)
When I stopped trying to make my journal look like others, and just did what works for me, that’s when I really fell in love with it. Happy you’re here! 😊
This is my first year starting a bullet journal. I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been trying to find spreads and set ups for anxiety and depression. I love you and your energy! 🥰 I've grown up with anxiety, depression and negative self talk for such a long time. It started for me at a very young age as well. This video was really helpful. 💞
I’m so happy you found the video helpful! Journaling has been so helpful for me, I hope these spreads are beneficial for you too 💕 thanks for watching!
I was distressed this whole week but your excitement and smile made me smile❤️🎉 and 3 of the spreads i am gonna make them my bujo thank uh for existing ❤️.... And yeah maybe I'll go for a walk tomorrow morning ❤️
I love you so much right now, you call your inner critic (depression) mean girl too, me too. I have just started my first bujo as a crisis book, panic attacks pounce or build up and when in the middle of the storm I don't recognise them for what they are. Journalling made me realise there are at least 3 kinds so its no wonder I didn't recognize them as panic attacks. In my journal I'm also using it to write what helps as well as what doesn't so when I'm in that headspace, I know I can grab this book and know there will be stuff in there that will help. Writing my own self help book I guess. Loved this video, off to watch your other journalling ones, and subscribe. I hope today has been as kind to you as possible sending you love light and gratitude x
Billie's Craft Room if I could love this comment 100000x I would 💖 I honestly wish I could express to you guys how great it is to connect with other people like me, especially since this is such a vulnerable video/topic for me to film and share when it comes to talking about my own mental health and process for how I journal through it. Thank you for watching and subscribing! 💕
@@melissakolb tThanks Melissa, I feel the same way. There is a wonderful online community on www.elefriends.org.uk like minded folkes like us chatting mh its peer support. just others like us being there for each other. A quote from matt haig I love is Depression Lies. that was a real deal breaker for me. coz its so loud n convincing it never occured to me it was 'just' noise. freaking loud n convincing tho isn't it. He wrote the book Rreasons to stay alive, here is a short animation related ruclips.net/video/qYV7pS9jULs/видео.html I get how vulnerable showing these feels. I want to share mine in case it helps someone else but its SO personal its like standing naked isn't it. Much respect and thanks x
I would love love love to see more videos like this! I have a notebook (it’s got lined pages) I use because honestly I’m too particular to do bullet journal, but I do still want to journal for my mental health. I’m making lists of things like “what to do when you aren’t feeling good” and “Bible verses for when you feel ______.” This a great video! ❤️
Thanks for watching! My bullet journal has recently shifted more toward long form, with rapid logging in between. Uploading another bullet journal/mental health themed video this week! 💕
Melissa! Thank you so much for this! I really love your spread on "What I Love About Myself" and just incorporated it into my bullet journal this month :) I actually just made a video on my own channel about the layouts I use for my mental health and gave you a shout out!
MelissaMargarida the “what I love about myself” is tombow brush pens, in the galaxy collection. The “self care” small cursive is sharpie pens, and the block lettering is crayola super tips markers!
I've seen many journals so far, but yours is the one I like the most so far :) Aesthetically pleasing despite the minimalism. I'll deffinitely use a couple of tips from this video. The self care list and weekly commentary on positive events during the week are my favourite. Off to look for a little photo printer before jumping to more of your videos!
Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling so much with mental health and i feel like this is going to help me so much i am going to use all of these in my own bullet journal. Thank you again.
So happy these layouts will help! They help me daily! I’m uploading another bullet journal / mental health video in the next few days with a few new things too 😊
Thank you for this video. I have dealt with panic and anxiety disorders since I was a child. I am also very into journaling but haven't done it in a while. I know it could help me if I stick with it. ❤
Hello! I randomly came up to your channel and this video... and I just clearly have to say thank you! I‘m mostly a „silent-watcher“, but, here we go :) These tipps are so great, thanks again! I‘ll absolutely start bullet journaling now, because this year I also began to struggle a lot with depression and anxiety, so I think this will truly help me and others. Lots of love sent from Germany, A. ❤️
Loved this video, especially the therapy notes section. As someone who deals with DID I can see how helpful having that section would be so that the entire system is on the same page about what went on, next steps, questions for the next session etc. Thank you for sharing this.
Hey I’m from Indiana :) this was super helpful and I appreciate your vulnerability to share this with us :) I really like the self care page. This might be the bulk of my journal lol
You might consider exploring the list of 40 virtues. Research what each virtue means, and then track them ben franklin style in your bullet journal like a mood tracker. List all forty on a daily grid, then each day, review the virtues and mark the cell for each virtue you can remember practicing that day. Make notes in your journal narrative about the significant virtues you practiced that day and highlight the virtue you've highlighted in your tracker by drawing a circle or square around the bullet. Over time, find a chance to narrate all of the virtues you've practiced. Which virtues are you having trouble finding ways to practice?
Thanks for sharing! My next video is about self love for 2019. A lot of your self care activities correlate with my video. Honestly, we’re all beautifully unique and similar at the same time. 😊
I’m new to your channel …. You have very nice content here! I am going to begin my journal …. I wonder how I am to keep it all organized….. how do you separate different parts …. Such as the five ideas that you presented…..
Hi Susan, thanks for watching! 💕 I’ve tried so many different things, you just have to experiment with any planner you try until you find what works best for you! For me, I find when bullet journaling the index is really helpful! I am currently trying out a new system with the Happy Planner! I love experimenting with new ideas all the time 😊
I just noticed the 1 thumbs down vote and i'm shocked. Who does that? This is a great video and an important topic. Haters really can be cruel. Even if you don't love the video, how hard could it have been to restrain yourself from spreading the hate?
LOL...it's all just part of the youtube world. Maybe by spreading more positive vibes, eventually it may outshine the negatives. That's my goal when sharing my videos at least!
I have a question, do you have a different journal for every layout? Because I really want to start doing thing and i don’t know if I should do it all in one journal or have more then one. I’m not sure wich one will be better
I use different journals for different things. For this video, all of these layouts would be in one journal for me personally! But the great thing about bullet journaling is you can do what works best for you! 😊
yolo florence depression is definitely tough to fight your way through, I have been there. These bujo spreads have really helped me with both my anxiety and depression. Sending you positive vibes! 💕💕
I discovered this video at 4am and went out today to buy my first ever bullet journal. Thank you so much for so many great ideas.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to journal daily. It’s whatever works for you, and what YOU need. 💕😊

I love those simple layouts. I really need and love journalling, but I don't have the energy for super elaborate spreads every month or week.
Lu na I’m the same way..I need the simplicity most of the time, to avoid getting overwhelmed and out of the need for “perfection” mindset 👌🏼
i’ve started it but i wanna do things that will help me w my depression cuz it’s a daily struggle and it sucks smh
