sending every single one of you warm hugs and lots of love 🫶
I feel like you summarised my life in a video…. Thank you for your vulnerability, your words, I cried along with you and it helped me so much ♥️
sending you warm hugs and lots of love 🥲🤎 you are not alone.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt video. As someone who works in higher education, I can honestly say that going to college (especially right after high school) is NOT always the best choice for everyone. Taking time to figure out who you want to become (especially outside of school) is a huge milestone for people that is often overlooked. Also, celebrating the little things is so important! Please be kind to yourself and take the time you need to recuperate.
people are so lucky to have you as a part of their educational system. There weren’t much people who questions the status quo or think like “only you know what works for you” when I was in school. so thank you for understanding and for working in education!
It sounds like depression. I feel you and I am sorry. You need a professional help, medicines et al. Don't struggle alone, please. It can get much worse.
all the sad feelings and worries went away as soon as I got my period so I’m 99% certain that it was pms messing with my mind. I’m gonna see a gynecologist first. thank you!
We are awesome and we’ll be OK. Xx
aren’t we all?? 🥰🫶🏻 you’re amazing!
I can tell that you are so strong. You will get through this tough time. It’s ok to feel how you do. Take good care of yourself, be kind and gentle to yourself. You don’t need to be who people think you should be, be the person that you enjoy being. someone once told me depressed stands for deep rest, it’s your body’s way of saying that you need to rest and recharge. You will come back happier with a new outlook on life. Reach out to people that care about you, you don’t have to go through this alone. Our society is structured so that we don’t allow ourselves the rest that we need, and it’s unnatural. Especially in the winter, it’s time to rest our bodies and minds, thats the natural cycle of things. Please take care and reach out to someone, a friend or relative, or a professional if you would like to.
you’re such a pure soul, thank you 😭🫶🏻 all the sad feelings and worries went away as soon as I got my period so I’m 99% certain that it was pms messing with my mind. sending you warm hugs!
I'm sorry you've been through such hard meltdown. Even if it has a reason, when you are living it, it feels awful. I have been having meltdowns since 11 or so... and I'm through a rough phase since the last day of 2023. I also need time for myself after days of meetings, and this time it literally came with sickness so that made me even more sad XD. I think some of us, we tend to think that we had it clearer when we were youngers, but I'm growing, older than you, and now I think we just reflect more and understand more things, and c'mon, life it's not easy, so knowing that we have more worries and fears and also we get more tired. I'm not sure things happen for a reason, but I do think that the same as meltdown comes, good moments come. As I have been in a deep hole before, I have certainty that I can feel well again, and feel enthusiastic about things again. It's important to take some rest and then x day tell yourself: "I'm gonna do things, even if it doesn't give me emotion, but with practice, vivacity comes again. It always does, I'm sure. Also, we are living with so much propaganda and pressure about being someone, about being succesful and take profit of your hobbies, about being happy and everything has to be WOW! And life it's not always like that. It doesn't mean we are not having a meaningful life, we are just living, and that's great already, cause although there's bad moments, we still have the opportunity to live (what it is "to live", everyone of us has to keep defining that concept, and enjoy the moments we are chasing it) Sending so much love, i hope you feel excited for coffe, breakfast or wathever becomes important to you soon!
I haven’t felt that low ever since I filmed this video! really glad to know that i’m not alone so thank you 🥲
Thank you for posting. I also get pretty wiped out after traveling and seeing loved ones. I think it is because of being an introvert. It is huge that you got up and cleaned and made tea. Like Thich Nhat Hanh said “This spot where you sit is your own spot. It is on this very spot and in this very moment that you can become enlightened.” (Miracle of Mindfulness pg. 36).
thank YOU for being so kind. it’s easy to get caught up in huge milestones but we really need to celebrate small wins everyday. hope you’re celebrating all the wins, big or small, today 🤎
and omg that quote is beautifully said! thanks for sharing!!
Mai, thank you so much for this video, your honesty and vulnerability are so precious. As a 21 year old introvert who decided not to go to college and doesn’t have a regular job, I feel so much of this too. I have two medical conditions that mean sometimes I don’t do in a day the amount others, or fulfill as many things on my to-do list, or work as much. The world and even our own minds makes us feel ‘guilty’ for not doing things ‘normally’, and this reminder was so needed. It’s okay to run the race your own pace, it’s okay to be different and need different things, that’s the way we were made. 🙌🏻❤️
it’s really hard to chase for what is not considered “normal.” there are not much resources, a lot of people question your choices, etc. You’re not alone. we’ve got this 🫶🏻
I feel this… Sending you a big warm internet hug 🥺
That was a beautiful quote on the sticky note and definitely one worth remembering. I think it’s also important to listen to our body when we might need some extra time to rest - both physically and mentally. Be kind to yourself. It’s ok and it will be ok. ❤ And it’s also winter.. most of nature is also resting.
I hope you are feeling better and adding a little bit more sunshine day by day 😌
I really wish I could hibernate 🤣 winter is almost over and spring is on its way!! yayyy!! sending back a big warm hug 🫶🏻
Love to you, my friend! 🤍
sending back love!!
The F.R.I. is going to be making a reaction video to this for sure!! this is very fortunate timing. I am looking forward to seeing this as I just did a different video on a female youtuber who had burnout. I don't know if you had burnout (Im just guessing cuz ok to take your time part) as I haven't watched the vid yet but I will!
Hey! I hope you feel hugged from afar. I’m so touched by your video. Didn’t know you but I appreciate your honesty and sensitivity. Things will get better! For all of us who are struggling and with a heavy heart.
Be safe and much love to you, my friend.
hugs received!! I’m sending you warm hugs and lots of love 🫶🏻🤎☕️
You did it 👏🏽 Mai, sometimes our mind and heart don’t correlate and it can be frustrating. You’ve been going through a tough time, but you’re pulling through. You can be proud of the achievements you’ve made. Even the small ones like vacuuming your space :)
thank youuuuuuu 😭 I’m celebrating small wins today as well! hope you do too 🤎🫶🏻
My dear dear Mai I am late to this video because I too got an awful meltdown and the thing is I don't know what caused it. I guess it is January as the month itself because every January I hit rock bottom. I should be happy because I'm spending my days with two cats, but I don't know, I am not. All of this is to tell you that I am feeling what you are feeling and if you need someone to talk to... you can send me messages... I have trouble sleeping so, don't worry about that. I'm here for you
I hope you’re feeling better! you not only support me on instagram but also here on youtube. I don’t take that for granted. I truly appreciate you. We (your cats and I) love you so so much ♥️
@@maitoyokawa I love you Mai, it's funny that we literally live in opposite sides of the World yet I feel you are closer to me than many people I see everyday.
@@pollys6192awww 🥹😭♥️
That sounds like Depression and you should seek help, no harm in help
all the sad feelings and worries went away as soon as I got my period so I’m 99% certain that it was pms messing with my mind. I’m gonna see a gynecologist first. thank you!
@@maitoyokawa Excellent that you're getting help whatever the problem ends up being! 🥰
Thanks Mai for this video, really this resonate me very well, if you know I was in the worst time too who feel like you about 2 years until now, I feel like I can not doing anything my room messy but yeah I feel like can not doing what should I do. I feel you too when 2 years until now I can't go to my university and can not finish my university up until now when my age was not young anymore (btw we are same too 98' gen🫂) and in my head tell me what should I do (finish it and hurry get job) but my heart tell the opposite. Thank you for being my life encouragement me today to change my day little more than yesterday (and my 2 years of wasted 🥹) and somehow miracle your notification video appear in morning my time area, so yeah I will do like you do to change little bit until we change lot! Keep going grow together Mai, see you very soon! 🫶🏼
