I relate to you so much after watching this, words can't even describe! HUGE hug from Ireland, Shelly xxxxx
Melanie Murphy Thanks Melanie. When I saw you share you own struggles on your channel it really inspired me to share mine so thank you. I linked a vid of yours in the down bar, hope thats ok. Massive virtual hugs right back at you. x
BeautyLifeMichelle aw you sweetie! Thank you! I really understand as well what you said about the fear that people will have this perception of you 'pulling a Zoella' but the fact of the matter is, 99% of the population would never dare to open up in front of the world like that so I say to ANYONE thinking of doing so, even for self-therapy or as an easier way of telling their family their problems...or to help others...do it. It's so beyond worth it! xxx
Michelle!!! I just want to give you a big hug!!!! You did so well with putting everything into words with what you've been through and only a few tears. You hit the nail on the head with why a lot of us joined UA-cam. I moved interstate to be with Dean and although I made new friends, something was missing in my life. I wanted to express my creative side and connect with people. Now I couldn't imagine life without UA-cam, it's changed my life so much! I love the new friends I've made through it and I wish we could all hang out all the time 😩 Your story is such an inspiration and I know it will help many. Chin up and I'm sure you will lose yourself in blogging and making videos again soon! Love you! ❤️❤️❤️
Crystal Conte Thank you so much for your amazing comment Crystal, I really appreciate it. I feel so similarly to you and genuinely couldn't imagine my life without UA-cam now and the incredible community we have. I hope we can have coffee/wine (lol) some day, I would love to have a good old chat with you and get to know you better without the screen in between us! Love ya too girlfriend xx
Dean and I are coming to Sydney in July actually!! It would be so good to catch up and have a wine or two! I think we're coming 22-27th ☺️☺️
OMG yesssss! Keep me posted xx
I can relate to you on so many levels right now
Shaaanxo Message me if you ever want to chat Shan. I'll let you know when I'm next in NZ, maybe we can have lunch x
This video is amazing. Everything you have said is just so real and so true for so many people and I think this will help a lot of people feeling the pressure. A big hug is being sent your way beautiful
Rachelleea Thanks Rach, means a lot
You are so brave. I have a chronic illness, I've struggled with it for ten years now. Gone from being hospitalised, house bound, bed bound, having good days and 'normal' days and back again. UA-cam is such a good distraction from my kidney pain, including your videos. I like being able to put a 10minute video on and not thinking about how crappy I feel for that time. I have anxiety too and have struggled with depression. It's such a common thing yet so hard to talk about. Lots of love, if you're ever in New Zealand I'd love to get coffee! Xxxx
Erin Walter Thank you so much for watching and commenting Erin. I'm sorry to hear you have been having a rough time with chronic illness and I hope it's getting better for you. I love getting lost in UA-cam and to be distracted from the bad days too. Sending big love your way xx
Omg Michelle I was welling up the whole time! I know how u feel as depression stuck when I was in Australia and unfortunately it won the battle and I had to come home! I love how raw this was! You needed to do it in this style! It came across so well and all I want to do is give u a big hug! You could see the relief in ur face by the end! Can't wait for the future of ur channel!!! Congrats on sharing your story and thanks so much for linking my video in the description! Love u loads xxx
Such an honest video, I hope no one gives you any hate for it, it's one of the most genuine things I've seen in a long time. I love the thing you said about why this is so common among UA-camrs, and that talking to a camera doesn't mean we're self confident or vain or extroverts. Thanks for sharing, lots of love xxx
I am so grateful to have found this video. I became sick last year and tried very hard to ignore it, continued working and going to Uni until I was eventually bedridden and then hospitalised for severe UC. I found everything here so relatable. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes x
Michelle, I have gained so much respect for you after watching this video and I feel like I've gotten to know you much better. Being able to post this proves what a strong and courageous person you really are. Thank you for sharing and whenever you feel afraid to share personal videos like this remember there's loads of us here (me included!) , who will always be rooting for you & we want to see you happy. XOX I'm an *IRISH* subbie WOO!!
Thank you for sharing, Michelle. I also have a chronic illness, interstitial cystitis, that prevented me from working a normal job for a few years. I manage it pretty well now and am back to work, but even though I'm a lot better, I still get waves of frustration and depression every now and then when it flares up. I normally don't like to focus/ruminate on my illness too much, but it's so important to acknowledge how you feel about it and let other people know you are struggling sometimes. Good for you! I"m glad you have a good support system there. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos! :D
Carolyn MacKinnon Thanks for sharing Carolyn. I'm glad to hear you are feeling a lot better even though at times it sneaks back in. I agree, I don't like to focus on it too much either or else it will consume me, but acknowledging it and facing it head on is also so important xx
So sorry you have been going through such a hard time. Depression and anxiety are extremely hard to deal with I know. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Jody Newman Thank you for your lovely comment and support Jody. xxx
Haven't watched your videos for too long but you seriously seem like a really nice person. You're really strong for putting this up and I admire you for it. I can relate somehow because I have this weird fear to cry in public too, I guess we just like to keep things to ourselves. I just wanted to tell you to stay strong, because it will get better, sending lots of love😚😚 And again, thanks for sharing, I'm sure it'll help lots of people💗
thanks for sharing this michelle! It's been almost a year since I move to another country and it was hard to come to another country and find friends to relate to etc. youtube has been helping me a lot on my time alone and I'm so grateful for that!
Its Halo Thanks for your amazing comment girl. It is so hard to be taken from your comfort zone to brand new surroundings. I am so glad youtube has helped you too. You are not alone and you will always be loved and supported by the BLM family x
You're so strong to share this with us girl! 💕 I am introverted too and although I'm only 17 the last 5 or so years I've always struggled with depression and anxiety. Anytime life gets harder or stressful I find it so hard not to slip back into it.
But yeah that's why I came to youtube it helped so much with my confidence, I still haven't found a 'best friend' in real life and I'm so shy in person so UA-cams that one place where I look confident and feel confident in myself!
Love you girl! ❤️
You are honestly such a beautiful person, don't feel as though you are a lesser person for showing your true self. Everybody has their demons and you are so brave and incredible to share that with the world. Your videos make me happy and I always look forward to watching them. You are one of the many you tubers who has inspired me to follow my passion for makeup and beauty here on UA-cam. You're truly an inspiration, and this video truly touched me. Sending lots of love your way xx
Laura Bunn Thank you so much Laura. I really appreciate your comment. I hope you are well on your way to following your dreams and passions in makeup and beauty! Sending big love your way xx
I completely understand where you're coming from and you're so brave for posting this.
In the last 3 years I've had some health problems (vitamin D deficiency, low thyroid levels, chronic migraines, sleep apnea, endometriosis, social anxiety, depression and a deviated septum) and I've had such a hard time dealing with it because it completely changed my life. I dropped out of high school and got my GED because I was unable to attended classes on a regular basis because of how horrible I felt every day. I lost all my friends because I was never feeling well enough to go out and do anything. Being locked up inside my house 24/7 by myself led to having panic attacks when I have to go anywhere, even family get togethers. I'm on a hand full of different medications to help with all my conditions. Most of them make me feel ridiculously tired and I have to nap throughout the day. I've had 2 surgeries since the end of December (Dec. 30th to fix my deviated septum and Mar. 5th to remove some of my endometriosis). I have found joy in animals though. I started fostering for my local humane society and it's been so rewarding. Since I've been sick I've been able to take in 65+ kittens and 15+ puppies that were too young to be adopted out (some as young as 3 days old with no mom) that would have otherwise not been given a chance.
Stay strong and keep doing things that make you happy, I've learned that I have to put myself first and do what's best for me and not what anyone else thinks I should do.
Ryleigh Kamakeeaina Thank you so much for sharing your story, I know that must have been difficult for you, and it really touched me. I am so happy that you have found happiness in caring for these helpless animals at a time when you were probably struggling to care for yourself and love yourself. It says a lot about how big your heart is and I hope that you are able to move onwards and upwards with your anxiety a little more each day. Look after yourself love and know that you always a have friend in me xx
I'm so proud of you for opening up i know how hard it can be. I really think this video will be able to help alot of people going through the same thing. I just recently went out and seeked help with depression after being ashamed of it for 10 years i finally feel like life is starting to fall into place for the good, so i hoe this video helps other people do the same. take care hun xx
Kimberley McManus Thanks for your comment Kimberley.I am so happy to hear that you've sought some help and are taking the first steps to getting yourself back on top. It's not easy, but I know you can do it! xxx
I'm so proud if you for doing this video, these topics aren't always the easiest to talk about. I suffer from a chronic illness & i understand the being stuck in bed unwell & it can be lonely! Ive dealt with anxiety & depression also im glad you addresed this & how its not shameful, because i know when i was diagnosed with depression i was so embarressed i didnt want to tell anyone because i thought they would treat me differently or think i was unstable! I'm just glad more people talk about it now openly so hopefully will help people dealing with anxiety/depression & to realise they should not be ashamed also that they aren't alone. I think you are an amazing young woman. Sending love & huge hugs from the UK xxx
kirsty a Thanks for sharing Kirsty. I too felt embarrassed and ashamed of my depression when I was younger but I now accept it as part of who I am. When I tried to ignore it and pretend it wasn't there, it got worse! I don't ever want anyone else to feel alone or ashamed like I did. Thank you so much for your support. Sending GIANT virtual hugs your way. x
BeautyLifeMichelle thank you for replying means so much 💜 i agree, and i wouldnt be who i am today without the things i've been through feel like im stronger because ive learned to accept it all and learn from it & not let it define me xx
I've been dealing with anxiety for 5 years now and I'm not brave enough to post a video of me explaining my story like you have, but I can guarantee you and everyone reading this that it gets better. I have not had a panic attack in 3 years and through experiences and a bit of research I have learned to deal with my anxiety. It's all a matter of time, but it honestly gets better. I am thankful for everything I've been through with this disorder because it has made me a better person and it has made me value so much in life. Take it day by day guys.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us
Kiera Dempsey Thank you so much for your comment Kiera. We all have our own individual struggles that effect us, regardless of others opinions on them. I for one am so happy to see the community opening up about their mental health issues, regardless of the judgement xx Sending love right back to you
WOW this was deep! I love you even more for sharing your story, I could see how hard it was for you, I 100% agree with what you said about youtubers looking for a different way to connect with people, alot of people say to me you seem so much more confident online your a good actress... I'm not acting its still me just a more comfortable, confident happier me so i can totally relate to you. thanks for sharing hope your ok, wish I could give you a hug x
Thank you so much for this video Michelle, all my life I've struggled with social anxiety and I've always kind of been ashamed of it but hearing you say that you've embraced your situation and that it is what makes you unique really helped me see things from a different perspective. Once again thank you for opening up to us :) xxo
mynameismarie11 Thanks Marie. Social anxiety is definitely not something to be ashamed of. I find when I embrace it as part of who I am, it feels a lot better and life gets easier. Big hugs xx
This sums up what I have been through even down to the chronic illness. Thank you for sharing - we need more open conversations like this. Glad you are feeling better x
Marion Godden Thanks for your support Marion. I hope things get better for you soon too. You are not alone xx
Thank you for this video - it's was very real and emotional to watch. Well done for being brave and putting your mental illness out there. I struggle with depression and anxiety too, like you feeling better but still not quite there yet. Just remember you're never alone x
sarahroberts85 Thank you so much Sarah. I am glad to hear you're on the mend, even if you're not quite there yet life myself. Just take small steps every day you will get there xx
Michelle I just wanted to congratulate you on the strength and bravery you showed in uploading this video. I can relate to your story in several ways. I too am an introvert in a foreign land (Englishman in Colorado, USA) and have just recently suffered from anxiety. I've also turned to UA-cam and it was eye opening to hear you talk about the backlash some UA-camrs are getting for sharing their pain due to the perception of "pulling a Zoella." I'm trying to share my own story, but not for sympathy (not saying that you are) but to share some of the successes I've had by going to therapy and beginning to meditate. I've learned so much and been blown away by how many people suffer from this kind of mental illness that it really inspired me to share what I've learned to try and help others going through something similar. Best of luck on your road to recovery!
I'm so glad you are starting to feel better. Cherish every moment of it! I originally turned to youtube in 2011 after I was diagnosed with chronic illness. At 1st making vids was great but after a while the stress was too much. I have severe pain in my joints & fevers everyday. Trying to come up with quality content & struggling to be social when I was in agony eventually became to much. I didn't want my channel to be about my illness. I had to give it up. I've been housebound for over 4 yrs now. I wish I was able to make videos but unfortunately I can't. But at least i can watch videos. I'm so grateful to youtubers for making the content that they do. Its a place where I can get distraction from my pain, laugh, learn & relate. Its my window to the outside world. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you continue to feel better!!! XO
***** Thanks for sharing and commenting. I'm so sorry to hear life hasn't been easy on you lately. Keep your chin up girl, you'll get there. You will always be loved and supported by the BLM family here on UA-cam x
BeautyLifeMichelle Thank you so much! That is so sweet of you to say! XO
Aww Michelle!! Big hugs!! I hope that sharing this with us has lifted a weight off your shoulders and made you feel better. I personally don't care if you upload a video once in a blue moon! I'll still watch it anyway because I think you're fabulous, entertaining and awesome at makeup!! Good on you for being brave and sharing your struggles, I look forward to your upcoming videos! Xx
***** Thank you so much Melissa. I've actually found so much motivation through the comments and support on this video and have been filming loads lately. Just goes to show sharing really does help- huge weight lifted! xx
Your story touched my heart so much and when you started crying, I got so emotional and I started crying too. I'm so glad that you shared your story with us and I just want you to know that we are here and we are going to support you always! If there is anybody who think that this is another one girl who just wants to get attention from more people with story like this ,they can leave right now! I'm really glad that you got courage to share it and hope that you're gonna be more open to us! Love you! ❤❤❤
LittlePinkGirl xo Thank you so much for your love and support- means the world!
Michelle this broke my heart but I'm so glad you are feeling better. I will always be here to support you 100% and hopefully one day I can give you a big hug! This is nothing to be afraid of, you are a sincere brave and beautiful girl xx
itsSophieBelle Thank you so much Sophie. Hopefully we can have a coffee some day and a good old chin wag. Hope all is well with you . Big virtual hugs! xx
Awwwww Michelle, sending a massive virtual hug! You take your time Hun, I'll still be here :) lots of love, Emma xx
MissDollyDimples Thank you so much Emma. Sending a virtual hug right back at you x
Thank you for posting this. I can totally relate to depression and anxiety and of course everyone's reasons are different. It's nice to get to know more about you. Love you and your videos Michelle! Xoxo
Autumn Ayres Thanks love. I really appreciate your support x
Wow! That took so much courage to share! I know exactly how you feel! I have anxiety and depression too amongst other thing! I am so amazed you were so honest! Keep up the amazing videos and even if you do have to slow down that's fine! Thank you again you have made me feel like I'm not alone! 😘😘
BellaBaily This comment really touched my heart. I identify so much with what you have said and hope that you can find peace with yourself by taking baby steps every day. You are not alone and you will always be perfect to me, even when you feel like a failure
Thank you so much for this amazing video. It was really nice seeing this side of you and you're very brave for posting this. I'm sure its helped so many people including myself. I hope you succeed in every aspect of your life and you continue to feel better everyday. Wish you all the best and sending you tons of love :) xo
You can see in your expressions and hear in your voice how difficult this was for you. You're such a beautiful soul.
Miss Ashley Thank you Ashley xx
Michelle xx I feel like you just went inside my head and explained everything the way I couldn't explain myself. I'm so new to this whole youtube community and Ive wanted to become a part of it for a long time but have always been to anxious to put myself out there. But like you, thats also why I decided to take a leap of faith and give it a go. I am also an introvert and have always found it a bit hard to push myself into social situations when I would rather just be a bit of a loner and do my own things by myself. Thanks for posting this Video. I have always loved the vibe in your videos and this one just made me love you as a person even more. Xx much love
Thank you so much for sharing this side of you. As a new mom prone to depression and anxiety, I think I really just discovered UA-cam as a place to feel more connected and to feel inspired by other amazing women, yourself included. You would think that YTers would be very extroverted and alway have their sh-t together, but it actually makes perfect sense that many are instead using YT as an outlet because they don't have it in their outside lives. It's very strong of you to share your story, and we appreciate it more than you know :) Be well luv.
I don't know how I missed this months back Michelle! But let me just say that this just makes me love u even more! HUGS!!!!
you're not the only one who suffers anxiety and depression, i do too really badly, i dont really like to talk about it either but just know that you should never feel alone. there are plenty of people that feel the same. dont be ashamed,or embarassed, anything like that. there are horrible people out there who dont understand but your subscribers and viewers will always be here for you. xx
Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story. 💖
Claudia Hegarty Thank you for watching and commenting Claudia x
Michelle this video really pulled at my heart strings. You are such a beautiful soul. And so brave for sharing your story.
I can really relate to you. A year & a half ago when I was 28, I was diagnosed with Hashimto's disease (thyroid condition). With the other horrible symptoms came anxiety. Something I was not familiar with & knew nothing about. This on top of countless tests & visits to doctors & specialists really took a toll on me.
Recently I have been quiet bad & my dr has prescribed medication for the anxiety because it was really ruining my day to day functioning. Not only was it affecting me but my husband & poor kids. Sometimes i feel weak that I couldn't get past the anxiety without the need of meds but I've come to the realization that if they help, make me a happier person to be around then what's wrong with that? Everyone wins.
I have always wanted to start a blog, but don't really have the confidence or belief that anyone would find what I have to say interesting. But after watching your video I think I will seriously consider it.
Thank you for sharing your raw emotions with us subscribers & know that if you're ever having a bad day, know that you are making someone else's day when they watch your videos :) I wish you good health & much happiness beautiful girl x
First of all I have only ever followed you on Instagram and when that gorgeous Irish accent came out I near died! Secondly I'm really proud that you had the courage to post that. It was nice to meet the person behind the beautiful face and I hope you know that you're never alone. You have a whole internet of friends who support you, isn't the world cool in that way!
Sending you big love xxxxxxx
I just want to give you a big hug!.
I also have depression and anxiety and it's very hard some days to even get out of bed.
I know I need to get help but because of the anxiety I struggle to call or answer the phone to a stranger with out having a panic attack so I'm alone a lot of the time so I know how you feel it can be very lonely.
I hope you are feeling better. I love your videos they bring a lot of happiness to my life so thank you very much
bonnie leon Thanks for sharing Bonnie. I'm so sorry to hear you are also going through a tough time. It's funny, answering the phone is one thing I find really hard too, so many people don't get it though and think it's silly! I hope you have someone to talk to about what you are going through. Asking for help is the scariest part but it all gets easy after that. I hope you know you are not alone. Sending big love your way x
Only just come across this video I've admired you for quite a long time and having suffered with anxiety and depression myself the last few years I would not wish it on anyone but it's kind of comforting to know I'm not alone. X
You are very brave and I admire your courage to share your story. Xx
Sarah Copland Thank you Sarah xx
Wow. Amazing video. Stay strong Michelle. You're such a beautiful person, inside and out. I can't relate as a UA-camr, but as a fellow Brit, who also moved to Oz, I can relate to your feelings of loneliness. Although, like you I'm sure, I know moving is the best decision I've ever made, and I am so incredible happy. I love your channel. Your dry sense of humour and laid back attitude is what I come back for and your vulnerability in this video is only a growing factor to why I always return. Keep your head held high at how amazing you are and continue to grab life by the balls! All the best xxx
Awww. Such a sweet girl! Posting this video just shows how real you are! Much love xoxo
So much respect, you're a beautiful soul x
Sophie Marsh Thanks Sophie xx
Michelle you are so beautiful inside and out and you're so strong and inspiring for being brave enough to share this with us. Thank you for giving us the courage to do the same. All the best to you in everything!!!!!!!
Think it takes a really brave and strong person to open up about your personal struggles.. think as viewers you sometimes forget that even the awesomely talented makeup artists/vlogers have good days and bad days. Well this video was helpful :)
I have been completing getting into makeup videos not only because i love it and I'm obsessed with makeup but also because i struggle with social anxiety from time to time and think it might help overcome my hermit ways.
Thanks for keeping it real :)
I feel like you just said everything i've been wanting to say for such a long time. You are amazing. Remember that xxx
My Pale Skin Thanks girl. I really appreciate your support, and hope that if you are struggling with anything that you know you are not alone x
Everyone has some issues and there is really no need to be ashamed of! You're doing great and you are such a lovely person!! Don't give up. Every day is a step forward :)
(btw your eyeshadow is so beautiful, which one is it?)
Isa Belle Thank you so much Isa. I used the Kat Von D Eye Contour palette on this particular day xx
Sending you a bit hug. This was incredibly brave for you to do. So glad to hear you are doing better. Please keep us updated with your journey, love watching you xxx
Liesha Wood Thanks Leisha
Michelle❤️Keep going💪🏻
I hv been suffering from depression also so I definitely know how you feel and how everything tears you apart but this little part of yours actually can turn you to be a greatest person and always remember in mind that ppl who love you will always support you for no reason you dont hv to be afraid to share the part of who you are because nobody's perfect thats why we r all unique and when you come to difficulties please think of Tomorrow is another day so take it easy! Love ya😘😘😘
Dra Dra Chan Thank you for sharing and commenting. I really appreciate your support and hope you get closer to overcoming your own depression. Chin up, sending big love and hugs your way xx
You're so brave for sharing this and I'm glad you're feeling much better and also comfortable to talk about this with us. Good luck with everything and I look forward to seeing more great videos from you :)

You are such an amazing girl AND lovely youtuber. I haven't watched you for long but i feel like i want to get more into your youtube channel, and you, from now. It is so much more interesting to watch someone who you truly feel like you know, and it is much easier to get to know you when you're sharing things like this. Stay strong!!!
Ebba Wq Thank you so much for your support, means the world
Michelle I think it is very couragous of you to open up in this way. You are a real sweetheart and I am glad to here you are getting better! I haven't been feeling myself for some time now, so I feel I can relate a little bit.
Cleo Naus Thank you so much Cleo. I hope you're feeling a bit more yourself now or at least getting there. Keep your chin up. Remember, baby steps every day xx
Well said Michelle, it's also nice to know some of us aren't alone. You aren't alone either, we are here for you. Thank you for sharing, you're an amazing strong woman with such a kind heart. Truly beautiful side. 💜🍃🍀💞💖🌺😘
I also suffer from depression and anxiety. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
dana potoniec I'm sorry to hear that. I appreciate your support and hope you know you are not alone. Sending big love your way x
This resonated with me so much Michelle.
I watched the entire video and everything you said was truth.
You are a beautiful person and thankyou for sharing with us, seriously, it would be so tough.
Keep up the good work darling!
maddiemccormack Thank you for watching and commenting Maddie. Your support means so much
Michelle, I know a lot of people have already said so, but I can definitely relate. I moved to Sydney from NZ for a job, not knowing anyone here. While I've been here for a little bit now, and while I've always been independent and introverted, lately I've had moments of real loneliness. They are often replaced by happier thoughts, but are undoubtedly still present.
All I can say is, if you ever want to meet up with a fellow introvert, that would be rad.
Marina
You are such a strong person for sharing this online, i hope you know that!
Rebecca Morais Thanks Rebecca xx
you're not alone. its hard to handle and sometimes talking about to people you dont know, you are scared they will judge you or have some preconception about it. ive been on medication for my depression and anxiety disorder which caused me to have seizures (not panic attacks) up to 5 times daily for 6 years and in and out of hospital. i know it gets hard. i have hard days all the time and like you i turn to youtube to either distract me or give me some comfort. you will be ok. and this may seem to personal but if you need ever to talk to someone about medications i'm here they can be your best friend and worst and sometimes your feel like a walking pharmacy. you will get better. and it does get easier. just tell yourself you're doing the best you can.
Such a tough topic to talk about.. Here for you anytime you need someone to talk to, I feel you.. xx
your so brave for sharing, there are so many of us who don't say anything to anyone about this in fear of being ridiculed. your not alone, stay strong xx
THEUKIBEAUTY Thanks love xxx
Sending you all the positive vibes 💕
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my UA-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
HUGE hugs for you honey. Thanks so much for sharing something about yourself that is obviously so difficult for you. I admire your courage and bravery.
And I reminded I'm not alone in this. Thank you.
So proud of,its very hard talk about this to the world,keep ur head up chick,love you and well done xxx
Jess xo Thank you so much Jess xxx
You're a very brave lady misses. Lots of love xxxx
***** Thanks Megan
This was so beautiful to watch. I think everyone must relate to you in some way. I know i do.
So brave for sharing your story! I live back in Berlin now, but used to live in Melbourne for a few years and I can so much relate to not having anyone around and to hang out with. Wanna be friends anyone?
Loved this video. So very true and on point. Thank you for expressing. I started my yt channel because I have a major public speaking fear..

Good for you for sharing Michelle! I share all the time and its not to copy anyone, its so if anyone just crosses my channel and can not feel alone, then I have helped one person...xoxo
***** Thanks girl. I'm so glad to hear you are sharing and showing people they are not alone. You are amazing! x
Beautifully said.
Gen X Life Thank you
You are so great for making this video Michelle. Im a new Sub to you but even before i saw this video and subbed you i knew i liked like you. I know all to well about what your going though. I suffer with anxiety and i haven't worked in 2 years now. I dont know if that is my nerviness coming though in interviews. Anyway of topic. Proud that you made this video it even made me look at things in a different way. Im so happy to hear your feeling better. Hello from Ireland
You're gorgeous on the inside, very brave and all your followers have immense respect for you, for letting us in
Hannah Mckinley Thanks Hannah. I really appreciate your support xxx
i have such a similar story to yours & i'm so glad you decided to share because sometimes you can feel so alone. if you have time, i would recommend watching Andrew Solomon TED talks here on UA-cam. i found it really comforting that someone could describe what we go through so well.
trishfish5 Thanks for the recommendation, I'm going to watch it now! Please know you are never alone and will always have a place here in the BLM family x
Know that you are not alone in these feelings. I'm glad you sought help, and I do think that, once we begin to get "better," our feelings flow (generally out of our eyes!) so much more easily! ;-) You're beautiful, no less because you have actual emotions.
It's ALL RIGHT.
Ahhhh so accurate!! My loneliness and anxiety brought me to youtube, and to you beautiful!
Katerina Beauty Blog Love you Kat
I can defiantly relate ..
Relate to you so much in this video 😍😍
Lovely post. Thank you. From a new subscriber.
Thank you for sharing.
clarisse Aguilar Thank you for watching xxx
I turned to UA-cam for the same reason, but I still don't have the courage to make videos :( I have so many ideas but I'm just petrified xx
I have a question: I do not really understand how someone with anxiety and depression can be on UA-cam and deal with 'the haters'? I recognize al lot of what you said in myself but I think I could not deal with the negativity, because I am so sensitive and easily hurt. Maybe you can tell us how you deal with that? Love to hear from you and a big hug from me to you!
Ina Boeters That's a very good question Ina, and to be honest I'm not very sure. I might talk about it in a video some time. I think when you are a very depressed and anxious person, you tend to be very hard on yourself. When I get negative feedback on UA-cam, it's usually something I've already told myself 100 times or beaten myself up about, so a stranger saying it doesn't affect me so much. I'm harder on myself than they could ever be. I'm not sure if that's answered your question or not but I tried! Big hugs right back at you xxx
Greetings & positive vibes sent to your lovely soul all the way from Saudi Arabia 🐪🌴
Asma Abdurahman Thank you
I am so overwhelmed and touched by your incredible comments- thank you so much.
I am slowly but surely getting around to answering each and every one. If I don't reply at all it's because you haven't connected to google+ but I have definitely seen it
BeautyLifeMichelle I'm so very blessed to of found your channel today, I am binge watching your video's. You are lovely and I wanted you to know this video was beautiful and raw. It touched my heart. I spent the day in and out of bed, I managed to ride my bike for 30 min but should be doing so much more, normally I lift weights etc daily. Today was a bad day for me, how timely your video was for me. I don't want to be selfish and say "woe is me", all I want to say is Thank you
+BeautyLifeMichelle I could never judge another human for what they're going through as I myself have anxiety with panic attacks.I would not wish it on my worst enemy if I had one..My anxiety is good now only comes out occasionally but it's always there waiting to surface...ESPECIALLY when I travel away from home and this is why I really don't...It's interesting how many You tubers I watch have anxiety but even for me YT is my happy place where I can forget about the world around when I feel bad...and it doesn't matter if you're a You tuber or celebrity or a movie star a singer or a stay at home mom , anxiety does not discriminate. Sending you some love hope you're well!
Michelle, I want to give you a big virtual hug all the way from Ireland. This was one very honest video and I applaud you for uploading it. I'm sorry you've been having a tough time. I know what you mean about wanting to just show people the positive happy side of life but it's only human to experience the downside as well and that's refreshing to hear too. I think you're doing a great job with your UA-cam channel and blog, you're doing a fab job representing us Irish on here. Ekk! So excited to see a video with your fella ;) Perfect is boring, human is intriguing. XXX
NakedWithoutMyLippy Thanks for your support and super kind comment Holly. Means the world. I'm gonna slow down and just do as much as I can now. I loved your video about youtubers and being isolated, and I linked it in the description box for people to watch.
Big virtual hug back! x
BeautyLifeMichelle Yeah, exactly Don't feel pressure about it because everyone works on a different time schedule. Thanks so much Michelle. X
I just wanted to say how much I love you, and I hope you find that this video is helpful in your journey! We're here for you boo ;)
Megan McTaggart Thanks Megan, love ya too girl
I 100% relate to everything you said. I'm on the same boat atm in terms of delivery. Xx you are strong
Lovely! That is very brave. Thank you for opening up. I was crying throughout your video because I have had anxiety my whole life. Sometimes it takes over and had such a tough time before Christmas. That is the reason why I started youtube. It has helped tremendously and met so many lovely people. Thank you again. You're lovely and are loved xxx
Queen of Sheba Thank you for your support love. I'm so sorry things have been tough for you too and I hope they are getting better. Keep your chin up. Sending big love and virtual hugs your way xx
You're so beautiful inside and out Michelle! So brave of you to share your story, these types of honest videos help so many people - including myself. ♡
StealTheSpotlight Thanks love, I really appreciate your support
Your such a wonderful person Michelle. I don't even know you personally, but i can already tell you that. I have no idea how hard it must have been to come here to Australia away from your past family and friends and I'm so glad that youtube helped you out with feeling happier. I sometimes feel like if i hadn't of started my channel i would not be in the happiest of places at times. And its funny because i don't even have that many subscribers, but i guess just having an outlet where you can express yourself and know that someone is watching even if you don't know who they all are is comforting. xxx
I am a Israeli youtuber for the last 6 months and I really need to say that you just took my thoughts and did video about theme! You are amazing! I send you my love from Israel :)
(**sorry for my bad English.. I couldn't avoid this video and not write anything)
Miss Reine Thank you so much for your beautiful comment xxx
Michelle, I love you so very much, and I hope you know that. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us, even though it was hard. You and I are similar in more ways than I though, and I truly 100% understand what you've talked about in this video. I wasn't really aware people were calling these types of videos "zoella copies" but it shouldn't be thought of that way. You're right, we flock to UA-cam because of those illnesses that keep us from interacting with people. UA-cam in a way is easier, at least for me. Still waiting to meet you and saving that big hug for you!!!
