Simple practices to ease sadness | For when life feels heavy and hopeless
These simple rituals for sad and hopeless days are the gentle practices that help me create space to feel, release, and reconnect with what’s true-even in the darkness. Hopelessness can feel like an endless, dreadful wave, but over time, I’ve learned to meet it with practices that remind me of the light within and around me. These coping methods have been comforting companions and healing ways to honor both the heaviness and hope. They have kept me from spiraling deeper into depression and have helped me see the beauty and light that quietly persists, even when it feels out of reach.
This video is a love letter to anyone who has lost hope or is drowning in sadness, especially as we collectively navigate these challenging times. I hope my words can bring you gentle comfort, and meet you where you are, offering a small ease for your heart and accessible ways to find hope again when things seem hopeless.
Thank you for being here and sharing this moment in time with me.
I love you deeply and I am hugging you tight.
Let’s stay connected ⚘

    It feels like I have 100 different personalities with different people, and yet I’m lost in myself, trying to figure out which one is real, which one will make me feel that I can stick with this personality because this reflects me, I’m 18 …and I’ve experienced quite a bit of it, and I’m not sure how to put it in words, but my plate just kept overloading, and now I stand somewhere where I don’t know who am I? I know if I will get out in the world out of this bubble that I live in my perspectives will change my thinking will change, and I might as well, find who I really am, but for now, I really want to switch my brain off because all the thoughts just eat me up. I am a student right now, and I am preparing for this competitive exam, and I’m sure all the lakhs of students who study for this examination, they all have cut off their connection with the world outside, but at least they have a friend or two….They can confide in …..my friends and I had to separate because I moved to a different place and I had other circumstances, therefore, now I can say I don’t have any best friend, that I can confide in or I can say that, yeah, she is my and only my friend and it might sound silly, but these are the little problems that have been building up and now they seem like this huge adversity …which it’s not….. I don’t know why am I even writing this, but just the title of the video made me feel as if I can write it down here because I’m not a very enthusiastic commenter on any video, but it just feels like that if people are watching this video, then they might be somewhere or the other struggling like me and we just make a community out of it, and yeah, that’s the only reason…. I know things will change in future, but it’s just over thinker and me… I have forgotten how to interact with people because I’ve been in my room stressing out about academics, but I know these are the thoughts that will die in these walls that I am in right now. Because once you step out you see you discover you explore, and then you come to conclusions. People This age who, due to fear or uncertainty rch conclusions….tend to suffer i guess

    I really appreciate this video been dealing with cystic acne for 11 years tried everything under the prescribed path and every doctor I’ve talked to has denied me a hormonal panel. I have honestly lost alot of trust in that stuff and just want to curate the most simple solution for my skin because everyone’s body is different. Today I picked up some more medicine the dermatologist prescribed for me from the pharmacy, (low dose birth control) and was silently dreading how this would affect my body and this video couldn’t have come at a better time for me thank you girl!!
