My name is Michelle Crossan and I am a 28 year old Irish girl living in Sydney Australia. I am obsessed with all things makeup and beauty related and this channel is dedicated to sharing my honest opinions and reviews on makeup and skincare. I focus on creating 'real girl', wearable makeup looks that are easier for us non-makeupartists to create, using a mixture of afforDable and luxury products to suit everyone's budget.
Here on this channel you will also see lifestyle and advice videos, the odd capsule fashion video, and lots of fun collaborations with my boss ass babe friends who also have UA-cam channels!
Grab a glass of wine, pull up a seat and join the family! xx
Thank you, Michelle
Jillw916 thank you ❤️
I'm a longtime silent viewer of yours, but seriously, I had to comment on this one. It's so SO commendable that you made a video like this, as someone who has gone through several waves of depression in my life, it would be so supportive to see someone go through the "recovery" phase while not feeling the need to pretend everything is perfect when it's not. Thank you so much for bringing attention through your experiences to destigmatise (not sure that's actually a word :P) these issues, by that I mean that just because dark thoughts exist, doesn't mean you're the only one who has them. I'm really sending you all the positive vibes, and I'm sure you will find the strength to pull yourself out of it, even though I know, it's a process that takes a very long time. Much love to you!
Thank you so much Emma. We really are all in this together. No one is alone. Big love to you xx
Depression is very hard, but we are heroes to live such lives! 💪 Never give up, you're not alone and please watch my Anxiety and surviving depression to have some company! 💙💕
Thank you, coming from someone currently in a dark place :)
Thank you, Michelle. Your words mean so much to me I'm going through a hard time at the moment and finding it hard to speak to my friends, I feel like I'm not taken seriously as I do appear very happy and bubbly on the outside, but when I'm alone I'm completely exhausted form putting on the "act". It can feel like a very lonely place sometimes. I'm thankful that there are people like you that speak up about this xx
You are such a beautiful person on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside I hope you find the happiness you deserve xx
I can identify so much with what you're saying my love. The 'act' is the most exhausting part about it all. Trying to be happy and strong for everyone else. I'm so proud of you for being so brave and strong. Keep going girl xx
Stop pretending...it is working for me
this is one of the best, most inspirational video i've came across. i love the advice, and love coming from this video. some people just don't understand. they think it's something to "get over". to michelle, and everyone out there suffering, we're not alone. we have each other. each other to love, care for, and help. most people don't understand what it's like, and those are the people that make us feel shit. thank you for this video xx you're amazing
If anyone needs someone to talk to or need a friend, I'm here. I could use more friends. I understand these topics and from my own life. Just know, you are loved. Thank you for making this video.
I'm very much struggling.
I've tried everything., talked to professionals.
Its too overwhelming.
Not just the stress, anxiety, insomnia and depression.
It's what caused it...!
The trauma and losses.
... we're my fault.
Thank you so much. I’m trying my hardest, I really am. Things get really tough, and I try my hardest not to let those thoughts consume me. For all those dealing with this, don’t quit for me, I won’t quit for you I promise.
why am i watching this but more important why im still alive
2017 was a horrible year for me. I almost died due to suicide twice and the thoughts still haunt me and every day I have to take it minute by minute. I had many people ignore when I said I’m not okay and then they were angry with me when I did what I did. This video did come at the exact right time for me and being your follower is a privilege. I connected with you so much.. I say this all the time that I have just been strong for too long. I love you Michelle.. and today I keep going. And I look forward to more content this year from you
The fact that you took something so dark and tragic and beautifully and eloquently discussed it is proof of your calling. This video will help someone. You will have saved someone. Good on you. Thank you for adding to the conversation. I hope it helps you with healing as well ❤️❤️
I've also had such a tough 2017... i don't have a depression, but i know how it feels when you actually don't feel a thing anymore. My stepmon died (cancer) my mom is in a real bad condition (cancer) and my boyfriend is also struggling with depression, psychosis & derealisation... and I just feel so sorry for them :( I have a very small youtube channel and I also sometimes don't feel like filming. It's so good of you to talk about this! Nobody deserves this ❤️ Hope you will feel well soon, I'm actually sure about that xxx
I'm so sorry to hear about your loved ones. You are so strong and brave to be getting through this and helping them with your head held high. Love ya girl xx
Michelle Crossan 💕
its all gonna be alright okay. xx if u ever wanna talk to someone about what you feel or so..please dm me id very very much love helping people.i pray for your best xx
i couldn't have ran across this video at any better time. everything you said hit home with me. thank you so much for sharing this. you have no idea how many people you've helped by posting this. peace and love xx
Dear Michelle,first of all...thank you so much! A big influencer as you are talks about something,a lot of people don't want to deal with. I have depression for many,many years and 2017 has been such a huge struggle and I thought 2017 would break my neck. But you're right,we are not alone!
Michelle,I love you too! You're a good hearted person♡
I have had depression for 5 years..but l think am starting to recover...because am starting to look like it ...no pretending..thank you
thank you for sharing michelle, for being brave enough to speak your truth in the hope it will help others 💜 i've not experienced these feelings myself but have struggled to support my husband through his depression over the last 3-4 years. it's wonderful to hear you are taking care of yourself and being proactive in treatment. mental health issues must not be stigmatised but treated as any other illness would be, whether with medication, diet and/or exercise etc. a very important message you've shared, thank you xoxo
What a brave lady you are. It’s not easy to say so publicly what you just said. If you only ever made this one video, you have probably done more good that you could ever know. So many people who feel alone. So many people who suffer in silence and so many people who just need a few words to encourage them to seek the help they need. You are a star. X
Thank you Deborah. If this helps just one person, it was worth it. x
Michelle. That's probably the most caring informative important video that I have watched on UA-cam. Michelle you are unique. You are inspiring.. Thankyou for helping people. The world needs more people like you Michelle. Beautiful.
Thank you Michelle, I needed this ❤️ I think I’m dealing with depression and my anxiety has hit the roof lately. I’m fighting through as best as I can. 2017 was an awful year for me too. Sending lots of love!
I'm so sorry to hear that Natalie. Please reach out to a loved one for help or your GP. You are not alone. You can do this! Big love to you x
Thank you Michelle for sharing and thank you for bringing attention to depression in such an honest way!
Love you, Michelle ❤️❤️ You know I’m always here for you xx
Congratulations Michelle on making such an important video. For anyone suffering, know that this is only temporary and it will pass.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been struggling with depression my whole life and it is SO frustrating when people disregard you just because you seem fine, just because you are not in bed locked in your room for days. I've been through times when I could not get up in the morning for days and days but even when I can get out of bed and go about my day it doesn't mean I'm ok. I've heard so many times "you go to uni every day and your grades are fine, you don't have depression, if you had you would not leave your house, you would be failing uni." I think most people don't understand that you can be depressed and still maintain a certain level of functional capacity.
Again, thank you so much for this video! It helps to know I'm not alone ❤️
I feel you girl! Just because you're trying super hard to get on with things, doesn't mean you're 100% ok! I'm so proud to have you as a subscriber! You are not alone and you are so loved. Keep fighting
Michelle, I’ve been watching your videos on UA-cam for more than two years now, and I am tearing up in empathy that you are finally making a video to discuss about such a difficult, controversial topic of mental wellness. I also have dealt a lot with moderate to severe depression and anxiety for years. I have seen so many therapists, tried so many different medications to fix the problem and even tried committing suicide three times, which led me to be hospitalized a few times. It’s just so frustrating that all the bad things would not go away in a click. I have been so fortunate to be surrounded by close friends who understand my issues and bring me back up whenever I have relapses. I was so hurt when Logan Paul posted a video that disrespects not only Japanese culture and natives but also everyone who is impacted mental health issues when I often watch UA-cam videos as an escape. I am so grateful that you have posted a video after a few weeks that you have been gone. I cannot describe how happy to watch your videos, whether they are swatch videos or serious discussion videos like this one. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing lovely! I'm so sorry to hear it has all been such a struggle but I'm so proud of you for battling through. I'm glad to hear you have an amazing support network around you. You deserve it. So happy and proud to have you as a subscriber. xx
I feel the same and I don’t know like my life is, I try my best to be positive but I just feel like giving up sometimes. I feel like mentally and physically tired. No one exactly takes me seriously and I’m really happy for you that you are over coming this, thank you for giving me the strength to keep going. It’s not easy but thank you giving me hope,
Thanks for this video Michelle. It was very raw and very real and brave. My hubby has suffered from depression in the past and I’ve had to learn a lot about this disease in order to help him. I only wish the best for you, please make sure you take time for yourself and always remember YOU ARE WORTH IT! Sending you love and light honey ❌⭕️
This means a lot. Came at a good time. Thank you❤️ Love your channel.
Jem Doyle chin up darling. You are loved ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve recently gotten help to cope with the period of depression I’ve been in for around a year now. I was embarrassed and ashamed to admit there was something wrong but now I’m so glad. I’m not fully better but I can see a tiny glimpse of light now that went away for so long. You should be proud of yourself for speaking about this ❤️
Thank you for publishing this. You will help more people than you know. I'm currently struggling with that 'numb' feeling but I've caught myself bursting into tears a couple of times lately in public which is so embarrassing! I'm going to do something about it now that I've watched your video. Take care of yourself xx
Thank you soooo much for this video !!! I needed this right now !! I haven't been happy lately. Everything makes me feel overwhelmed , like I can't handle thinking about my future. So many things making me feel down. Thank you so so so much for this video I appreciate it so much that you shared this
Rayan .A I’m so sorry you’re having a hard time. It’s not easy but you can do this. I will share more advice on this subject soon. Keep going and keep your chin up. You are loved ❤️
Michelle Crossan god bless you thank you so much for being brave and caring enough to reach out to us with such an important issue. Mental illness is hard. So hard but people like you help make me feel like I'm not alone at least. Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
Michelle!!! Thank you so much for being so open with us. You definitely are not alone. I’m dealing with the same exact thing. Depression and anxiety are a daily struggle for me. It’s so hard to get up some days and I am so tired all of the time. I want so badly to be better and to be happy, I feel so guilty bc I have two young daughters and I don’t want them to see me this way. I try to hide it but it’s so hard when I literally feel like I cannot get off of my couch most days. Praying for you and for everyone else who is struggling with mental illness. Talking about it more and more will lessen the stigma associated with it, and that can be a powerful cause for change!!! Xoxo xoxo ❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️
It’s very rare to feel something so real and authentic from someone when watching their videos on UA-cam. Even though it would have been so hard for you to share this, you did it anyway and you should be so proud of your bravery. I noticed in the language you were using that you spoke a lot about how you care and thought of others. Please know that we care and think of you. Proud of YOU for not giving up. To use your raw, personal journey to help others is a beautiful thing to do. Sending you love, strength and persistence ❤️
Thank you for being so brave. There is such a stigma around depression and suicide, no one wants to talk about it or address it. Or maybe we just don’t know how to go about discussing it in general. This is inspiring. No one should silently suffer. 💜
Recently severely depressed. I have suicidal thoughts yes, I think the only thing keeping me from acting upon those thoughts are my ego and stubbornness.Two personality traits that have caused so much trouble in the past are somehow keeping me together, as I shamble my way through this depression.
I been told I’m going through depression now but I compare myself to worse cases and reject it. I just feel hollow and empty and reject all company. My genuine friends and family are saying they are worried and I’ve isolated myself and kept myself indoors and in bed for two months. Two days ago I had a awful breakdown as I found out two awful things with separate losses thirty minutes apart. It’s only now I think I may. I searched on help for UA-cam and yours is the best I’ve found. Everything you’ve said in this video meant something to me and resonated with how my life is. I don’t know you but your video made me cry for the most part of it, as I’m seeing that someone is feeling how I am. Not ‘a wreck’ and how depression is made to look and romanticised in movies or media but just completely neutral and seemingly fine but having a hollowness to their energy. Thank you for speaking to me on a level I haven’t received in my personal life. I’ve just subbed and got the bell notifications for future videos for help. You’ve been a light in a lot of void for me xx
Ps. I’m sorry my post sounds so negative and not light. I just don’t know any positive words for how I feel at present.
❤️ a lot of love to you beautiful. This is not an easy thing to share with people closest to you, let alone to your subscribers, even when they are like family too. I hope your 2018 is filled with love and light. Xxx
Thank you so much darling x
Thank you so much for making this video Michelle.. Just know that you are so smart, beautiful and inspiring... I have had anxiety for many years but for the first time in my life I have been struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide (like you, this is under control and not a cry for help). I am turning 40 this year, I have been single for the past 9 years with short meaningless relationships throughout that time, I have never been married and have no children. I never in million years thought I would be here, at 40, all alone. I have an amazing loving family, some good friends, a good job but aside from that it's just me and my cat (I understand your love for Luna, I don't know what I would do without Lucky). Getting through Christmas was so though, the feeling of loneliness was too much at times.. I look forward to hearing your story and feel like we can get through this together, it helps to know that I am not alone.. Thank you for being you xoxo
You are so well spoken.. abouts you and what you feel! You are heard! You can always reinvent yourself! Trust yourself... i send you love
I could not commend or respect you enough for sharing Michelle ❤️❤️❤️xxxx everyone needs to watch this xxx
My story was more of an extreme loneliness, and it still is. I still struggle, I still get these thoughts, but I know I keep going, I know that there is so much life has to offer.
Thank you so much for sharing Michelle❤ I really needed to hear this and your timing couldn't have been more perfect. It takes a tremendous amount of strength to keep going sometimes, even more so when trying to reach out to somebody results in not being taken seriously. I deeply admire you for how strong you are. You're an inspiration.❤
It's important that everyone feel their life is important and understand their worth. I remember learning through God that words have meaning and instead of looking up bad words to look up the good ones and understand I possess all those things. It has helped me not see myself in such a negative way and to build off the positive. It definitely takes time but it's worth it. Love is health, mental and physical and it's important to seek things that are healthy for us especially now. This was beautiful, thank you for this video.
I'm currently going through a moderate/severe episode of depression. Your video was comforting and reassuring, thank you so much for sharing your experience. You're intuition was completely right and your insight is incredible. I can't wait for your next videos, I hope you start feeling better soon xxxxx
Thank you for your words amazing human being ❤️
Thank you so much for posting this! I struggle too. As a single mom, sometimes things get to be just too much. It’s so nice to see I’m not alone 😘😘😘
You have such a wonderful soul. And you're here for a reason. When I go through hard times, I say to myself that if it didn't all happen to me, I wouldn't be the loving and caring person I'm. We all have a role here on earth, and your's maybe to be an advocate for mental health. You don't know if you may save somebodys life with your contents.
To all of you who are struggling: "At the end everything will be OK. And if not, it's not the end!"
I know personally that better times will come. And when you're feeling hopeless, allow yourself to feel that way. You're not a failure, but so brave. Brave for standing up every morning, even though your feelings consume you. You're brave for lyjing in bed without showering for days, cause you have endured so much pain and still are here. You are loved. Take the chance to reach out to others and help them, even if you can't even help yourself. You're a hero!
This video came at such an important time for me. I've recently been through a very traumatic break up with my boyfriend (as well as starting a new life at university), and as a result I've started therapy. Thank god for my mum taking me seriously when i said i couldn't do it anymore. I lost my uncle to suicide and you are so right, its not talked about enough. people are surprised in my openness talking about him, but these issues really need to be talked about so much more. I've been watching you for such a long time now and this is so amazing - thank you for showing us that life goes on!
What you said about just being tired .. It is so(!) accurate. It’s the most difficult feeling. I’m so sorry you have to deal with it. I’m so happy so see you in this video! It’s extremely important to talk about this subject. From my own experience with the same issues , the most important thing ( and I know how difficult it is ) is to always remember that things can change and good things can happen. Thank you so much !❤️
Michelle, thank you so much for your honest and heartfelt sharing! We all need time to rest, to reflect and to heal. And it’s ok to not be ok :) I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and really enjoy them! Take as much time as you need and resume when you feel ready, I’m sure your viewers will understand :) Sending you loads of love, take care! ❤️
Well done for speaking out about this, you are brave and strong and valuable and I'm so glad that you're actively helping yourself to get better. Unfortunately I knew two families who lost someone to suicide last year, it's a huge issue and it needs to be spoken about more. Thank you for being so honest and so open even when you're not feeling like you've come out the other side yet. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you Michelle for this important message and reminder to pay attention to those around us and SHOW them that we care and love them. I am sorry to hear it's been a difficult time for you. I find getting out in nature and "letting go" of all the pain and anger whilst being grounded by the magic and gifts that surround us on this planet really helps. Big bear hug for you and wishing you a much better 2018! 🌴🌳🌿🌾🌺🌻💕
Michelle you are an amazing young woman and I am so proud to be one of your subscribers. This must have been hard to film but you will have helped so many young women in the same position. xxx
You are so strong thank you for doing this video I've been there and I went through intense therapy and found myself again I still struggle from time to time and when I watch the UA-cam videos it's my happy place just for me and kind of helps me to smile and keep it through out my day. So thank you again
So grateful for this video - especially when you mentioned about not being taken seriously when I’m not coping. I do feel like a champion after listening to this!!! And also seeing your coffee too that made me feel normal as I’m watching this video with a large cup of the good stuff in my hand. 😘😘
Thanks for sharing Michelle, I agree with you... why is this not talked about more often?! Physical health is always talked about like losing weight and treating your body well but mental health not so much, it’s SO important! My thoughts are with you in this tough time and I am glad you are getting through it. xxx
Michelle, I also do feel like commenting on this. Beside everything else that has been already said I feel the most to tell you how important it was to say out loud to not ignore anyone with thoughts of suicide or depression. I have reached out a couple times in my life and was ignored every time. Like you said I am not mad at anybody that ignored me but each time it made it even harder to reach out again as I didn't know what else to do. I am sure that this happens every day and my heart is breaking when I hear about it as I know what these words mean. I really respect what you just did and I wonder is this your purpose? I hope you are having a wonderful day, Michelle, and I am looking forward to seeing more of you :).
I really needed this right now. Thank you
Thank you Michelle. I'm struggling right now, hopefully I can hang on and get through.
I went through the deepest darkest depression in 2017 as well. I didn't realize how bad I was until a close friend asked me right blunt out if I was suicidal. I kind of was, but kind of wasn't... but I thank God every day that she asked me and got me to see how much I'd changed and how different I was. I immediately made a dr appointment and have been so. much. better ever since. Thank you so much for making this video and being brave enough to share your own struggles. The part that resonates with me is to check on people. Be there for people. If not for my friend, I don't know where I'd be right now.
Your intuition is right... cannot come at a better time.
So happy to hear this helped. I hope you're ok xx
You are an inspiration, not feeling well and still be able to think about helping people who might be in the same situation is exceptional ❤️
You were really brave talking about this sensitive subject and you can be so proud of yourself helping other people by sharing your experience ! Thank you so much for doing that it takes a lot of courage and strength BRAVO hope you will find the light through that difficult time sending you load of love ❤️
I am here if anyone ever needs someone to talk to , I suffer from depression and I can understand when people feel alone , I am here to help and understand
Thank you. I was having very bad thoughts right now, suicidal thoughts and for some reasons I searched "Suicidal Thoughts" on UA-cam and found your video. I didn't know you, I didn't even know what your channel was about, but... it helped. I usually never comment videos and it's a bit awkward to say it in a public comment, but I needed to tell you this. I'm feeling much better just because I watched it. So thank you. Really. Thank you very much. And I wish you good luck and courage for your own struggling. Your "positiveness" (don't know how to say this in English and I think that word doesn't even exist but it doesn't matter) is really inspiring. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for sharing this Michelle, this is my first comment on you channel, English is not perfect since I'm French but I wanting to say a huge thank you, because I ve been dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts too and it feels really good to know that we are not alone 💜
Thank you so much for talking about this topic, it is always so nice to see how you are willing to share and to be open with your subscribers which is not an easy thing at all. Love you xx
Thanks Julie. If it helps one person it will be worth sharing x
You're such a strong person Michelle, I loved the message behind this video.
P.s Wish I looked like that after the gym! Stunner
Aw thanks Jess. Big love to you x
I appreciate this video. I am going through a rough time with my depression and anxiety. I struggled all my life with this. And now it's back in full force again. Thank you for this video for giving me the courage and motivation to keep my head up and to keep going. I look forward to all your new content in 2018 😊 you are incredible and so strong!x
Thank you for this. It's crucial that we all know we aren't meant to do this alone, to figure it out by ourselves. Get help. Talk about it with someone, a professional if you can afford it, or have insurance, or it's your last dollar.
I'm normally a silent subscriber and I never dealed with something like you, but I can feel you! I am proud of you! Don't give up 😊
Massive respect for talking about this. Stay strong pretty lady, chin up, baby steps. Every day is a new day ❤️
I had a rough 2017, I had to dust if off and get back up again
You're not alone and you're here for a purpose ❤️
Likewise Angela. Thank you. Big love to you x
Thank you, Michelle. I'm proud of you.
Hi Michelle, I just found you via your VS wave/curl tutorial and it seems you have a great channel here with lots of content that I enjoy watching. This video is great by the way. Thank you for using your platform to talk about the impact of depression and anxiety. I really look forward to following you. Love your accent by the way. I’m from originally from Jersey but have been in Oz 15 years (I’m in Brissy now). I miss all of my beautiful Irish mates back in Jersey and being away from my friends and family is really quite tough. I hope you have a good support network as you are also so far away from family and friends xx💜
Just finished watching this. Your an incredible and a real genuine girl.
I think in todays society everyones trying to be this perfect version of themselves insead of just being content with who they genuinely are on day to day basis.
I just had my baby girl a few months ago and since then iv been dealing with postpartum depression and this video really helped me.
Thank you so much for sharing this video xox
Thank you Michelle, I've been going through a tough time. Your video helped me navigate me through my thoughts.
Don’t forget for under 25s headspace is free!! This was a life saver for me... well it still is. Thanks for sharing Michelle!! We love you for your honesty ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ally Bowerman I’m 29 but I pay for it anyway I love that app xxx
Michelle Crossan sorry I mean the actual place!! Google them 😘 I assume they are Aus Wide. I’m Tasmanian though xo
Ally Bowerman oh sorry I misunderstood! Thank you for sharing! Xxx
Awee I had no idea you were going through this I'm so sorry 💔 I just wanted to say you aren't alone. My eyes are welling up in tears as I'm writing this cause oddly enough I felt like seeing such a vid coming from my feed, would be encouraging. I've been battling depression and sucidal thoughts for years and have been in therapy the last almost 6 months...I'll be honest it hasn't helped enough. I think I'm writing this as a cry and plea for help because I feel like I've lost hope. I don't know what to do anymore and feel so alone and unloved. Like I have no place in the world at all. I hope you feel better...
MissAdamLambert888 you are not alone and you are loved my dear. Please watch my How To Be Happy Video- all my best advice is in there. I will be sharing heaps more advice soon too I promise. Chin up , you are loved❤️❤️❤️
Thank you SO much for taking the time to reply back I truly appreciate it ! I'll be sure to check it out, thank you for this
It is so inspiring and encouraging to hear all of this from you. ❤ I understand and totally feel everything that you said so much because I fell into deep depression, had anxiety and panic attack that was caused by really degrading and unsupportive supervisor in Uni. I wasn't able to work much for 1.5 years even though I tried so hard, going for therapy, taking meds etc.. Honestly it feels like it's taking me so long to recover and some people around me just thinks that I'm not trying hard enough or the meds are not working and that I should be ok after 1.5 years, making it so much more stressful. Now I am worried about not being able to graduate and worried about my future that it is just a horrible feeling. 😭😭 I'm sorry for typing up such a long comment, but what I want to say is that I am thankful that you are sharing your experience with us, and thankful that you are so supportive as well. I really hope this year will be a better year for all of us. ❤
I'm not sure if it's the fact we're both Irish or the fact that I very much relate to some of the things that you're saying but I have such huge respect for you and in a way, I really trust you. Having watched your videos for a long time, I felt the need to comment and just say "You got this wonderful lady!". And we damn well should be proud of ourselves for the steps we are taking xx
I really appreciate that you took the time to share this. I have suffered depression and anxiety for years and it's true that telling someone that you're not okay is an incredibly difficult thing - I was always afraid that people would be dismissive and not take me seriously (and there have been such people) and you never really knew who was going to be like that - sometimes even people who seem nice to you will turn their backs on you when you need help the most. It took me months when I first had my depressive episode before I felt like I could be honest with people about what I was going through. So please take it seriously when someone tells you they're struggling.
Thank you so much for sharing Kamilia. I'm sorry it has been a struggle but you are so strong and should be so proud of yourself!Love you. x
I've struggled with depression and anxiety in the past. Someone I knew perceived it as attention seeking and boundaries crossing for TMI. It was very heart breaking as I was advised from a therapist to reach out to a close friend .
This awareness is great
Psalms 40: 1. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
Michelle, I love you. I have always loved you since we were wee little youtubers and bloggers. You are always in my thoughts and prayers, and I so wish I could give you a huge hug right now. ❤❤❤
Aww feel better 🙏🏼 your so beautiful and full of potential and so much ahead of you please don’t ever give up❤️you’re so beautiful 😍
Sending a huge virtual hug to you! A beautiful, brave and strong lady! ❤️
Thats really amazing you are actively working on it and dealing with it. I been dealing with it for the last 10 years, almost every week for the last 10 years, these thoughts pop up in my mind. I try to keep myself busy and prevent myself from being alone even for a bit, cuz i felt my mind is trying to kill me.
Wow. I came across you for the first time today. This week has been such a difficult one for me and my anxiety is at an all time high. Your words have truly helped me. Thank you. xo
Stay strong. Stay the course. Your life is worth living. Live it! You are loved.
Thank you so much. You are so worthy and so loved. x
Its so important for us all to talk about these things and for people experiencing distressing feelings and thoughts to know they are not alone and wont be judged if they tell someone and seek help...thank you for making this video ❤❤❤
Thanks for the support lovely. x
This video is so needed! I've struggled with depression for many years now and im only starting to really feel better and like myself now. At the same time though, some people that I care about struggling with depression now and as much as I want to be there for them its still really fresh for me. Anyways thanks for making this video. Ive been following you for a while and I've always loved your style and uniqueness of your content but this takes it to a whole other level of realness. anyways thanks babe
Your intuition was spot on. I really needed to hear what you shared. Thank you.
So happy this message reached you x
I just want to thank you for posting this, because most people wouldnt have the courage to do so, or their feelings of caring too much about what other people think and keeping up appearances would get in the way. I know how you feel, honestly. I've been battling really awful anxiety and depression (along with insomnia) since I was 14. I know that the culture we live in makes us sick, and perpetuates emotional illness. I know that the constant competition and pettiness in our culture creates anxiety, worthlessness and emptiness. I know that pharmaceutical companies cash in on our illness. And my reason and my meaning will never come from anything except creating peace and love despite the constant chaos. I always have to remember that no one else has to live in my head except me, and that the only person I need to be okay with is myself. Keep your chin up, and keep fighting the good fight. Peace and Love. ✌
Thank you doing this video Michelle, I can so relate, hang in there. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety on and off for the last decade, it comes and goes and I keep it in check through diet, exercise, supplements, counseling, blah blah blah... but this last year I had such a bad bout that it genuinely scared me. And I know what you mean about saying it out loud-when it starts to creep back up on me, it seems like voicing it will like summon it or something (i.e. it’s the beetlejuice of mental illness), so I can be hesitant to talk to someone until it’s gotten really bad. Honestly I think it’s in part what drew me to your channel, because I saw a lot of similarities of myself in your personality. It sucks that you’re dealing with this right now, but it’s helpful to know we’re not alone. It’s disheartening when friends or family aren’t able to provide you with the support you need; it’s difficult for them to really understand what you’re going through unless they’ve experienced it firsthand. Thanks for putting your story out there-I’m sending you good vibes from CA and hopes for a happier 2018 💕 Also, highly recommend checking out @badcomixbyanna on instagram-she does the best doodles detailing her struggles with depression/anxiety and brings humor to what can otherwise seem like a bleak situation.
Thank you for this video Michelle. I'm so glad that you're in a position where you're able to take your experience and use it to help others. I hope to feel the same way in the future x
It took me crying and telling my parents I harm myself and that I wanted to die for people to take me serious. No one should have to go through that! Thank you for this video x
Thank you so much for this video really needed it... Brought me in tears, because how hard it is. Thanks
Chin up petal. You're not alone xx
Thank you so much for posting this video. It helps so much knowing that there are other people who go through this and can talk about it to help others. Thank you for sharing about your experience with depression
❤️❤️ You just said everything I have been feeling. Thank you!!
