Thanks for being here today. Like I mentioned, this video is very raw and is our live reactions to Ellie's appointment. We hope that this journey might not only be able help Ellie, but others too. Thanks for your support today. ❤️
Ellie and Jared My thyroid problem was sub clinical hyperthyroidism I was placed on medication for 8/9 months and I have follow on blood tests every 2/3 months I hope you start to feel better ASAP x Vit d deficiency is grim if you’re prescribed a medication believe me you’ll feel amazing x
I am honestly so thankful that this video was posted. I have been told for years that nothing is wrong with me and I feel so stupid because I have to leave work and I am the sole clinician at my job and I feel like they look at me stupid when I come back with no results. Finally one specialist has taken me seriously like you. I will now look into a hormone specialist! I also have thyroid problems and something that has helped is a homeopath, if that helps! I am so happy that you have finally found the reason for how you`ve been feeling and I am excited to watch you grow, you truly are an inspiration.
I’m not finished watching this video.. but, Jared.. how cool that you are so in tune to your wife that you’re able to summarize her experience for us. And available to be with her if needed, but respectful when she’s ok to be alone. You’re a FANTASTIC husband. I also love that Tommy was holding your hand while you fed him 😍
I was thinking the exact same thing, Brad and Rach (hi, btw... I follow your channel too!). The fact that Ellie can say "I prefer to do this by myself" and for him to respect that speaks volumes for their relationship. Tommy was adorable throughout this video, but the hand holding - that just simply made my heart happy. xo Heather🇨🇦
My heart was just breaking as I watched this for you, Ellie. I can't imagine the feeling of knowing something was wrong but everyone telling you that you were fine. So proud of you for going and finding some answers to why you are hurting so badly. I hope that these answers start the path of healing for you. So grateful you have an amazing support system in Jared and your family that will hold you up as you keep pushing forward to this healing. We are praying for you as you start this journey.
I don’t normally comment cause I’m not sure if you will ever see this. But this video has opened my eyes, and I bawled with you both. I have lots of health issues, and could never understand why do I hate my life I have everything I want. I have struggled with being overweight, struggled with finding a man that would treat me like I’m supposed to. I have just struggled. I know I’m just a viewer but Jared and you have taught me so much in everything you have done. If only I can find me a Jared Mechem! 😭 stay strong Ellie. We are in this together
Please be you. The right man will come into your life. I know this be true. Because I meet my wife on twitter. Beth is form the USA and I'm from the UK. Wishing you true happiness
Girl, the right man will find you! Learn to love yourself first and everything will fit into place. I always say to myself when i’m feeling down that “someone is feeling worse than I am now”. I hope you find you inner peace. You rock 🤗
Chelsea Fields the right man will come along my husband loves me for me I'm overweight and I've been married for 21 yrs but there is someone out there for you that will treat you like a queen like your supposed to be treated God will bless you and send you someone that will sweep you off your feet God bless you never meet you but you sound like a wonderful woman keep the faith!
Grace K I’m pretty sure she means she didn’t think about having hormones checked for feeling certain ways possibly? A lot of doctors don’t push that route, they jump to antidepressants.
I rarely comment, but I just had to today. Jared is seriously the most supportive, loving husband. Ellie seems angry, and rightfully so! There should have been more help a long time ago, but now there is, and the path is being set and things will get better. Tommy Joel was a blessing in disguise. Without him, things might not have been found out. Don't worry about not breast feeding. While its discouraging not to be able to....YOU come first. Tommy will be just fine (obviously as Calvin and Jackson are prefect.) I'm glad that Ellie got the answers she needed. This has to be not only a relief but a light at the end of the tunnel. Ellie, you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Ellie. Thank you for being so open and sharing this journey. It has really opened my eyes to how much hormones do affect all those aspects of life. You’ve given hope to other people who may feel stuck.
To hear Ellie cuss and see her cry as much as she was in this video is when we all know that’s when she really doesn’t feel good. 💛💛💛💛💛😭 poor thing, I hope your health stuff gets so much better soon.
Thank you for being so open and raw in sharing your journey with the world, Ellie. Thank you for showing just how important it is to keep fighting for answers from other doctors, simply because you know there’s something more then when your GP says “you’re healthy you’re fine”❤️
I love my doctor so much! He's helped me in so many other ways, but sometimes we need more answers than what we're given from GPs. I'm so glad I did this. Thanks for your sweet comment.
Thank you so much Ellie for being so vulnerable and open. There are probably so many women out there who are experiencing what you are and just like you they had no idea why. You are amazing! I might just have to get my hormones checked now.
I never comment, but wow this really struck a chord with me. I am only 16, but most of the things Ellie said in this video is exactly how I have been feeling. Like she pulled it straight out of my mind. Juggling school this year has been extremely difficult, and if it wasn’t mandatory I don’t think I could make myself go. It’s like I’m stuck in this weird sad and depressed haze, and by the end of the week I don’t know what has just happened. I’m starting to feel like a crazy person because everyone else around me seems to be living just fine, when I feel like I’m just surviving. Since I am only 16, the response from my parents has always just been that I’m overreacting and it’s just the trials and tribulations of a teenager. As for my friends, it has become “popular” to rant about how much stress and struggle we are going through with school and a social life, but I don’t think most of them are coming from the same place I am. I do what I have to do get good grades and be “productive”, but at the moment it’s only out of necessity. I know you guys probably won’t see this, but this was just a VERY long winded way for me to say thank you. Thank you Ellie for making me feel like my feelings are valid and I’m not the only one struggling with daily life at the moment. I know it may seem hard to be vulnerable when you can get so much backlash from others, but I am glad you opened up. I really needed this today❤️ I really hope you begin to find the things you need to, to begin truly living your life ❤️
Mackenzie Dixon Ask your parents to get your hormones checked. Ask them to please watch this video with you. Maybe watching this, will help them to understand how you feel.
I can’t really relate to how you feel but I just want to say that you are so articulate for a 16 year old. Also, I really hope everything works out for you and you’re able to get the help that you need. Just remember, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long or dark it might seem. Sending positive vibes your way.
Mackenzie Dixon I got on antidepressants when I was pretty young and just this year I stopped taking it. Not everyone should do it, but I feel so much better doing so. I couldn’t even understand the difference between depressed and sad. I wish I got my hormones checked but was so young. I hope you get the help you need girl!! 🧡
Hey! Just wanted to say to you. I feel how Ellie and you both describe feeling. Whenever I went to a dr they told me I was fine when I've been horribly tired and depressed dragging myself threw life. I have 3 kids and it's very difficult to take care of them each day. I finally went and had myself checked out by a natural dr and found out my thyroid is also messed up and my d3 levers were very low. Once I started taking a better d3 supplement I have no longer felt depressed. U should definitely have your parents take u to get your hormones tested.
I definitely understand how you feel ❤️ that everything around you is feels like it’s falling apart and you are the one responsible for it all, all the stress that comes with school and problems that come with friends it can be very overwhelming at point your not alone no one is ❤️❤️
This makes me so angry. I was literally in tears watching this and showing my husband. Telling him, “See I’m telling you something isn’t right!” I have been fighting the same battle and being told I am totally “healthy” for the last 3 years. I have gained 70 pounds in 3 years. (eating and exercising the exact same mind you), I have had trouble conceiving and with miscarriage. My hair is falling out. I have gone from someone who was active and happy to anxious, depressed, and having to make myself get out of bed because I’m so dang exhausted no matter how much I sleep. My Dr. put me on anxiety meds and it got worse. I literally recently told my husband I don’t want to live if this is what life is going to be. I am going to demand that my hormones are checked. We know our bodies and we know when something is off and something is way off. I’m so glad you got your answers Ellie. I pray you start feeling better soon.
I’m 14 always feeling lightheaded and dizzy , went through many test to see what was wrong with me and they all came out saying I’m ok , but I don’t feel ok and been dealing with this for years.
I really appreciate this video. I know it was personal and very hard to share. Thank you for getting raw! I know that this information will help a lot of people! Love you guys!
Thank you so much for filming this. I have 2 younger sisters and they are those teenagers that are on anti depressants. One attempted suicide, and the doctors have NEVER mentioned checking there hormones and now that I have watched your video I will push for them to get tested. Love you and your family!
Oh guys- I’m crying watching this. I’m so happy that you got some answers and I’m lifting you in prayer as the treatment begins to work. Changes won’t happen overnight- so please continue to give yourself grace. As a 5 year watcher- I’m most drawn to your “raw” vlogs and I may secretly LOVE how much you cussed 😂 You have kicked ass and this video will help others!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! As one who suffers from major depression and actually just got out of the hospital for it and suicide, I thank you! I’ve felt like complete crap for years now and I feel like doctors are just throwing meds at me to try and help and nothing is working. I’ve felt hopeless, and now I know just what I can do to try and help. There is still hope I suppose. Thank you again! It means a lot that you were so open about this and your struggles. I feel less alone.
Ellie, I feel like I can relate to you so much emotionally. I am newly pregnant with 3 kids 10, 6, and 14 months old. My husband is currently away for training to eventually deploy again and it's been really rough to say the least! I have zero support locally, but I do my best to take care of everything alone! I wish people were more understanding, caring, helpful, and supportive. I have an amazing husband, but he just can't be here all the time like he wants to. I'm so glad you found some answers! I am highly considering moving back home (Florida) after the new year, because I am just not happy here in Colorado and never have been. But I keep coming back obviously to be with my husband, and then he just keeps being sent away. ❤
This is so incredibly eye opening. I was crying right along with you. I too have felt like I’ve been “stuck”. It’s a daily struggle for that last 6+ years. I’ve had my dr check levels multiple times but of course I’m “normal”. Because of you I’m making the leap at 27 years old to see a hormonal specialist. I’m tired of being tired, feeling depressed but have no reason to be! I want to enjoy my life with my 2 kids and husband, I want my life back! Thank you Ellie!!!
Ellie I am so sorry to hear what's happening to you, but I am grateful you are strong enough to teach us through your experiences. You are so beautiful inside and out, you have been soo strong and you for sure changed my life forever. Thank you for explaining and opening up to us, thank you for Inspiring me to be a better wife and person. I am sad that your results are not the greatest but I know you will be better soon. Dont EVER stop smiling and thank you guys so much for showing something so personal. Jared....I love that you are soo sensitive for your wifey, I love how you feel and are always there to comfort Ellie, never change. You guys are so blessed. Love you both! Things will get better you will see😘😘😘😘
This makes me realize how lacking we still are in women's health care. Why are doctors not checking hormones routinely? :( they just think we're being emotional?
Reneevee133 omg totally. I just found out I have hyperthyroidism and maybe Graves’ disease. Been dealing with symptoms for 3 years! I’ve gone to my obgyn 3 times and they just thought I had anxiety and was just a sweaty and hot person 🙄
100% agree. Often when people say 'women's health' they really mean either 'pregnancy and childbirth' or breast/ovarian/cervical cancer (but especially breast cancer). What about women's mental health? What about hormones? What about periods? What about the fact that much of mental health and menstrual cycles are tied up with hormones? As a society, we need to be taking this seriously.
Reneevee133 This is a human issue males AND females should be checked...this affects as many men as women. Not sure why you made it seem like only women should be checked 🤔
@@1ninjatiger Only because women's health has historically been overlooked and repressed. The words hysterical and lunatic stem from the uterus and the menstrual cycle. Women were institutionalized for decades for no reason. But yes, men also suffer from hormone imbalances.
Wow! Jared should teach men about how to, well, be! I’m blessed with a wonderful and amazing husband who treats me the way Jared treats you! I had two brain tumors removed, six weeks of radiation and did three years of oral chemo and he was by my side the whole time!! I also am on thyroid medicine and have all of your other symptoms! Thank you Ellie for this video! I’m going to get my hormones checked! People have said rude things to me about my lack of energy and all sorts of things, empathy is hard to find unless you are the one going through it, but we are so very lucky our men are so wonderful, my husband totally understands. It seems that unless the ailment is visible or noticeable people don’t believe you and DO NOT understand what you are really going through!! Thank you Ellie! Your graciousness and openness have given me so much to go on! I hope and pray for your healing!! Stay strong!!! You are a WARRIOR!! Ok, this is a novel now, so I’ll stop typing! 😂😂❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you guys so much for sharing, I honestly STRONGLY agree about going the natural route first. It's so interesting how just a couple of hormones that are off could be so devastating. You're literal proof of all the things I say xD GO THE NATURAL ROUTE EVERYONE. It'll save you a lot of grief 👍🏻 thank you Ellie and Jared for sharing!
Getting answers is the best! It took me six months of chronic nausea, fatigue, and headaches (and 11 doctors) to get diagnosed with my chronic illness. That feeling of finally knowing you're not crazy and knowing why you've been feeling this way and being able to get a plan to fight it is so powerful and emotional. We're with you Ellie :)
Currently crying my eyes out. Ellie I am so sorry you are going through this. I will continue to pray for you and your sweet family. Kudos to Jared for the level of love and support he has for you.
I'm in tears with you. You guys are so raw and genuine, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all. Good luck on getting this all worked out, and thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Ellie, girl do you realize what you have done for so many women? Your courage and grace amazes me. Monday morning I will be calling my dr and encouraging my daughter to do the same. Thank you
I was one of those 16 year olds on antidepressants and went into a week long facility for trying to end my life twice. Not once did I ever think or any adult in my life think it could be hormones (professional or personal life). This makes my stomach drop because I felt like s*** for feeling depressed. I felt like s*** for having the emotions and feelings I had. I felt like s*** for feeling so tired. I felt like s*** for forcing happiness on myself so everyone else thought I was happy. I’m now older with a beautiful baby girl and those feelings have come & gone over the years since I was 16. If I don’t do it by the end of the year, one of the first things I’ll do in 2019 is get my hormone levels checked thanks to you and this video.
I’m so heart broken for you Ellie. You are so strong to be able to push through this. Prayers for the proper treatment and a quick response to the treatment.
Thank you! I have been diagnosed with PCOS and NONE of the treatments help at all. I never once thought about seeing a hormone specialist. I'm calling and making an appointment asap. I am praying for you and jared and your family on this journey and I'm so glad you were your own advocate and are getting this figured out.
Ellie I’m a single mom and was just about to get on anti anxiety medicine but you’ve made me think twice . I really appreciate this video . I’m in complete tears for you . I love y’all!
I seriously cried thru most of this! You got this Ellie! Bringing those emotions to the surface is hard enough but I’m so happy you’re on the right track for marking yourself better!
Ellie when you talked to Jared about how much you loved him but how tired you are it made me so emotional as I have had hypothyroidism for over 15 years and I have an amazing husband like you who understands the daily struggles. So glad you have some answers as to why you have been feeling this way and look forward to watching your journey to better health xx
Thank You for sharing your journey. I had breast Cancer, estrogen progressive and I am on thyroid meds for hypo thyroid. This video really opened my eyes and Thank You Ellie.
Thank you so much. You have inspired me to go and get myself checked. I have struggled since I was 15 with my moods and antidepressants didn’t fix it. I feel exactly the way you describe, I can’t get below 75kg no matter how hard I try. You didn’t just help yourself, by putting this out there you have helped me, my partner and so many others. Thank you for being so vulnerable and uploading this video.
THANK YOU for being open and letting us into this journey with you. It breaks my heart to see what you’ve been through, but I know that greater things are coming soon. Im praying for you health and wellness. 💕 I love you, Ellie.
Thanks Ellie for being so vulnerable and honest with us! That took lots of courage. I love how Tommy is holding Jared’s hand while he is getting the bottle. So tender and sweet. You’re giving me baby fever!!
Thank you for sharing Ellie. I watched this video today after having a break down at work and crying thinking what is wrong with me. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 6 months ago and will be now going for hormone testing. I feel like I have a lot of the same symptoms you have and cannot thank you enough for sharing and opening my eyes to the fact that you can still be a strong successful person and fight your health battles.
I’ve been on the fence about finding a hormone specialist and I’m so glad you posted this. I’ve always suffered anxiety and depression and your positivity through every situation and your strength as a couple, and also Ellie your raw relatability in this video, this is the sort of thing that really has an impact and really helps people, including myself. Love you guys and wish you all the best!
I cried with you Ellie, I know this video is 2 months old, but I cannot express to you the impact you have had on so many of us. So many of us that don't feel heard, that don't feel like our feelings and lives into consideration by those who are supposed to help us. I shared this to my facebook for all the women I see constantly suffering the way you have. Thank you for all the information. Thank you for pushing through each day when you don't feel like you can anymore. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. And thank you for being an advocate for all of us women. I will definitely be going to get my hormones checked in the near future because of you and I cannot thank you enough!
Thank God...you guys have come into my life! Watching this video I have the SAME EXACT ways as Ellie! I'm looking up endocrinologists now for me! I too have PCOS, couldn't get pregnant without the help of IVF! But now there's some days I just can't get out of bed, thinking I need meds for anti-depressants....Thank you for posting this! Just...thank you! (literally cried with you guys!) SO many hugs to you for spear heading this issue and making people, everyone, aware that we are happy but to not feel happy is very worrisome!
That gets me when people use that "you have a good life, you should be happy." Yes, you have a good life AND you're sick. You can't equate one with the other. Just because someone has a happy life and seems to have everything going for them doesn't mean that they aren't sick. I have had so many people tell me "you're too young to be sick" or "you look to good" or "you're too pretty to be sick." Thanks. AND I'm sick. And no matter how many times you say I should be fine because of my general circumstances, I will still be sick. Ellie, you're beautiful, you have a wonderful life, AND you're sick. And I'm so glad you're going to get better. Also, antibiotics for 5 YEARS??? That's insane.
Wow. I needed this. I am 19 and all of a sudden suffered from severe acne. Every day I look at my skin and hate it. I was looking at medications and treatments to help my skin. BUT NOT ANYMORE. I have suffered from medical conditions in my early teen years. I am going to get my hormones checked out. Thank you Ellie. You saved someone with sharing your story.
Oh my god. What an eye opener!! I have PCOS AND have been suffering with periods of anxiety and exhaustion on and off for YEARS. I have always throught it was the hectic schedule of being a working student for several years but from changing from part time to full time student and vice versa but the bouts of exhaustion and anxiety have always been there!! This has been so eye opening!! THANK YOU
I have been having issues for the past year or so where I have been tired and uninspired and lacking energy and just done with life. I am almost 18 and I want to have fun but I just cant anymore. I'm always sick. I have thyroid problems in my family and I am almost positive that i have other issues. Watching this made me feel so happy to know I am not the only one. Ellie you are so strong and I look up to you so much. I love you! Thank you.
So glad you're getting the help you're needing! It's so important! I understand your frustration about it taking so long to understand why you have been feeling the way you have been feeling.. This is going to be so helpfull to so many women and girls! So proud of you!
I could cry. I have no children but over the last many many years I’ve had so many of these symptoms and had my hormones checked and my regular pcp doctors just say the ranges are “normal” and my quality of life never improves. This has opened my eyes to possibilities I never considered, like the fact that there are even hormone specialists out there. Thank you thank you thank you.
Ellie, this video came at a perfect time for me. I just received my labs yesterday. Basically have the EXACT same thing as you, have been dealing with the same symptoms. Just know that I thank you for being so open and putting this out there. I was able to see it and it comforted me through this confusing time. You’re not alone!
I can totally understand where you are coming from, Ellie! I have hypothyroidism, anxiety and depression, and adrenal problems. I can 100% understand feeling like crap and feeling absolutely exhausted! But now I am feeling so much better after being on medication! With this information, you will finally be able to start feeling better!! Praying for you, Ellie!❤️
Ellie and Jared, I am so proud of you two. Thank you! How is it possible to love someone you have never met? I wish I could give you a hug to help you through all this.
I am so glad you finally found the source of the problem! You’ve really made awareness Ellie! You’re so lucky to have such a supportive, understanding husband.
This video has really opened up my eyes about getting my levels checked. I’m a mother of 4 my youngest is 4 months and I just don’t feel normal. Like you said your tired and your tired of being tired. Well I feel the same way and so much more. I’m so happy you posted this kind of information and I believe it is going to help someone or many many people. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this out there.
I’m crying. I’m so sorry and I feel for you. Good for you for not stopping until you got answers. HUGS! I never comment but I need to thank you for sharing and being so candid.
I just want to say thank you. I have so many of the same symptoms and just feel exhausted all the time. Putting yourselves out there in such vulnerable way is going to help so many people. I am currently pregnant but once baby is born I am going to find a hormone specialist. Thank you.
Thank you for being so strong and brave. This video made me cry from seeing how frustrating it is for you and realizing that’s how I feel. I am going to go to a specialist soon to see whats going on with myself. Thank you so much for sharing and doing what you guys do. I love your family!!
Thank you Ellie! You are shining light on battles others are facing as well. I know this can’t be easy for you. Please remember you are helping so many others that are going through similar situations ❤️
Omg when Jared asked if it felt like the first video, I actually cried. I've been trying to conceive for 4 years. I have PCOS and now I will make a hormone specialist appointment asap. Thank you so much for sharing your life because it has been so helpful for me to not feel so alone.
Ellie you are one of the strongest most capable women I’ve ever come across. Never doubt yourself- be patient with yourself and take the time to rest and get better without feeling guilty. Thank you for loving yourself and being okay with feeling depressed- it helps me have patience and understanding for MYSELF. You’re a very special mother. The support and encouragement you give each other is inspiring to me and my relationship and I am so grateful that you pour your heart out so that we can learn and benefit💕 Thank you Jared for being vulnerable and an amazing husband by allowing yourself to cry on camera and show your love and concern for your wife. Your guys testimony is changing lives- never stop sharing.
i’m 17 and on my fourth month of accutane. there are so many things that i’ve felt wrong with me for so many years, and i’ve been told countless silly things as to why i have acne, but it’s been to many years to have acne just because i ate something wrong or put a wrong product on my skin. i’m hoping and praying my hormones and things aren’t shot from this medication or other antibiotics i’m on. doctors don’t always tell you the whole truth, and i feel as if my dermatologist was simply trying to do the easy thing, but being on this medication sucks, and i feel pretty similar to how you do right now ellie. i know our situations are very different but i feel how you feel and see how strong you truly are for battling with all of this. thank you for being so transparent ellie and jared, love you guys.
I’m booking an appointment Monday Morning. This spoke so deeply to me. I’ve been on anti anxiety meds and anti depressants for a decade for anxiety disorders and depression and have just gotten worse and worse. Thank you thank you, a million times THANK YOU!!
This video is so so so important and thank you for sharing it so that others can learn from it. I suffered for many years with anxiety, depression, and panic attacks when I didn't have to.
Thank you Ellie for sharing this. I suffer from anxiety and depression and thyroid problems. Just like you said I have a great life so people would always point that out to me. They couldn’t understand why I was depressed. I think it’s very hard to understand depression if you have never experienced it. I hope you can get yourself back to feeling normal. God bless you
Wow thank you for the authenticity! This is beautiful. I see y’all hearts and I’m grateful you have answers! This is going to help so many people Get their hormones checked out before medicating!
I’ve dealt with these same issues for years and have been on SSRI’s to deal with my anxiety and depression and mood swings and no energy, and now I’m going to see a specialist because of this video. I know in my gut something else is wrong. Thank you ❤️
thank you ellie. i now know what could be causing my severe acne. i now know where to go. im really glad you guys shared this. i didnt realise how much you were suffering internally so im very sorry for that. but i hope you are feeling a little better now and hopefully you will get better and better
Ellie, thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I am absolutely getting my levels checked out, because I know exactly how you feel and I have been feeling the same for the past year. Thank you ❤️
I honestly cannot Thankyou enough for sharing this information, as much as it hurts to see someone going through this , it is going to help many women girls out there. I wish well and more power to be able to get through this .

Thanks for being here today. Like I mentioned, this video is very raw and is our live reactions to Ellie's appointment. We hope that this journey might not only be able help Ellie, but others too. Thanks for your support today. ❤️
Ellie and Jared
My thyroid problem was sub clinical hyperthyroidism I was placed on medication for 8/9 months and I have follow on blood tests every 2/3 months I hope you start to feel better ASAP x
Vit d deficiency is grim if you’re prescribed a medication believe me you’ll feel amazing x
Ellie and Jared you guys are amazing Ellie your doing just amazing and so are you Jared♥️♥️♥️♥️ I love you guys
Ellie and Jared dAd mum
I am honestly so thankful that this video was posted. I have been told for years that nothing is wrong with me and I feel so stupid because I have to leave work and I am the sole clinician at my job and I feel like they look at me stupid when I come back with no results. Finally one specialist has taken me seriously like you. I will now look into a hormone specialist! I also have thyroid problems and something that has helped is a homeopath, if that helps! I am so happy that you have finally found the reason for how you`ve been feeling and I am excited to watch you grow, you truly are an inspiration.
vickie green me too I’m only 13 tho
I’m not finished watching this video.. but, Jared.. how cool that you are so in tune to your wife that you’re able to summarize her experience for us. And available to be with her if needed, but respectful when she’s ok to be alone. You’re a FANTASTIC husband.
I also love that Tommy was holding your hand while you fed him 😍
I was watching his little hand the whole time and my heart was very quiet.
We all need a Jared
Love this comment, Jared is a great Hubby!!
I was thinking the exact same thing, Brad and Rach (hi, btw... I follow your channel too!). The fact that Ellie can say "I prefer to do this by myself" and for him to respect that speaks volumes for their relationship. Tommy was adorable throughout this video, but the hand holding - that just simply made my heart happy. xo Heather🇨🇦
Brad and Rach
Me, too! I loved watching Tommy’s hand.
My heart was just breaking as I watched this for you, Ellie. I can't imagine the feeling of knowing something was wrong but everyone telling you that you were fine. So proud of you for going and finding some answers to why you are hurting so badly. I hope that these answers start the path of healing for you. So grateful you have an amazing support system in Jared and your family that will hold you up as you keep pushing forward to this healing. We are praying for you as you start this journey.
yes, good for her for listening to her own mind and body. It can be very frustrating. I know, BTDT. Finally, I got a diagnosis.
There are no words....😕
Oh Jared you're just the sweetest.
Praying for you, Ellie.
Her low witamin D I hope she just get it done, fight Ellie
I don’t normally comment cause I’m not sure if you will ever see this. But this video has opened my eyes, and I bawled with you both. I have lots of health issues, and could never understand why do I hate my life I have everything I want. I have struggled with being overweight, struggled with finding a man that would treat me like I’m supposed to. I have just struggled. I know I’m just a viewer but Jared and you have taught me so much in everything you have done. If only I can find me a Jared Mechem! 😭 stay strong Ellie. We are in this together
Please be you. The right man will come into your life. I know this be true. Because I meet my wife on twitter. Beth is form the USA and I'm from the UK. Wishing you true happiness
Girl, the right man will find you! Learn to love yourself first and everything will fit into place. I always say to myself when i’m feeling down that “someone is feeling worse than I am now”. I hope you find you inner peace. You rock 🤗
Chelsea Fields the right man will come along my husband loves me for me I'm overweight and I've been married for 21 yrs but there is someone out there for you that will treat you like a queen like your supposed to be treated God will bless you and send you someone that will sweep you off your feet God bless you never meet you but you sound like a wonderful woman keep the faith!
No wonder why so many women suffer with anxiety! I didn't even think about having hormones checked. This is so eye opening. Thank you for this.
You didn't know about hormones? Haha. How old are you? I think that subject was taught in 7th grade health class.
I had my hormones check they said that they normal but I feel like crap every day.
This makes me think how I feel
Grace K I’m pretty sure she means she didn’t think about having hormones checked for feeling certain ways possibly? A lot of doctors don’t push that route, they jump to antidepressants.
@@gracek582 You're so hilarious... Yeah, I'm a woman with 5 kids and have no idea what hormones are... 🙄
I rarely comment, but I just had to today. Jared is seriously the most supportive, loving husband. Ellie seems angry, and rightfully so! There should have been more help a long time ago, but now there is, and the path is being set and things will get better. Tommy Joel was a blessing in disguise. Without him, things might not have been found out. Don't worry about not breast feeding. While its discouraging not to be able to....YOU come first. Tommy will be just fine (obviously as Calvin and Jackson are prefect.) I'm glad that Ellie got the answers she needed. This has to be not only a relief but a light at the end of the tunnel. Ellie, you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Ellie. Thank you for being so open and sharing this journey. It has really opened my eyes to how much hormones do affect all those aspects of life. You’ve given hope to other people who may feel stuck.
To hear Ellie cuss and see her cry as much as she was in this video is when we all know that’s when she really doesn’t feel good. 💛💛💛💛💛😭 poor thing, I hope your health stuff gets so much better soon.
When did she cuss?
MJ and J She cusses a lot in the video, the beeps are the cuss words edited out. 😄
@@mjandj3889 literally thru the conversation in the car
God Bless you Ellie and your family!
Right? I was like wow poor thing :(
Thank you for being so open and raw in sharing your journey with the world, Ellie. Thank you for showing just how important it is to keep fighting for answers from other doctors, simply because you know there’s something more then when your GP says “you’re healthy you’re fine”❤️
I love my doctor so much! He's helped me in so many other ways, but sometimes we need more answers than what we're given from GPs. I'm so glad I did this. Thanks for your sweet comment.
Ellie and Jared Praying for you in the times ahead! I sent you a DM on Instagram about my story with my hormones and health. Love you guys! From TN❤️
Ellie I LOVE hearing you cuss! I’m glad you’re not censoring your emotions.
Haha even Mormons curse sometimes. We're just human :)
Jared has sucha pure and sweet soul I think every woman deserves a man like him in their life!
createdncali i agree
Yess
I agree. Do you do train other husbands my husband needs it?
Thank you so much Ellie for being so vulnerable and open. There are probably so many women out there who are experiencing what you are and just like you they had no idea why. You are amazing! I might just have to get my hormones checked now.
I’m one of them.. 🤦🏻♀️omg Ellie has just open my eyes..
Please keep us in the loop. About the meds and the vitamins and your hormones and mood. This is so informative.
So bittersweet, I'm sorry for the results you received but happy to know that you'll only get better from here.
Jared, you are literally the best husband! Sending you guys positive vibes thru this difficult time!
I cried almost the whole video 😭... I hope you feel better Ellie! 💖
I never comment, but wow this really struck a chord with me. I am only 16, but most of the things Ellie said in this video is exactly how I have been feeling. Like she pulled it straight out of my mind. Juggling school this year has been extremely difficult, and if it wasn’t mandatory I don’t think I could make myself go. It’s like I’m stuck in this weird sad and depressed haze, and by the end of the week I don’t know what has just happened. I’m starting to feel like a crazy person because everyone else around me seems to be living just fine, when I feel like I’m just surviving. Since I am only 16, the response from my parents has always just been that I’m overreacting and it’s just the trials and tribulations of a teenager. As for my friends, it has become “popular” to rant about how much stress and struggle we are going through with school and a social life, but I don’t think most of them are coming from the same place I am. I do what I have to do get good grades and be “productive”, but at the moment it’s only out of necessity. I know you guys probably won’t see this, but this was just a VERY long winded way for me to say thank you. Thank you Ellie for making me feel like my feelings are valid and I’m not the only one struggling with daily life at the moment. I know it may seem hard to be vulnerable when you can get so much backlash from others, but I am glad you opened up. I really needed this today❤️ I really hope you begin to find the things you need to, to begin truly living your life ❤️
Mackenzie Dixon Ask your parents to get your hormones checked. Ask them to please watch this video with you. Maybe watching this, will help them to understand how you feel.
I can’t really relate to how you feel but I just want to say that you are so articulate for a 16 year old. Also, I really hope everything works out for you and you’re able to get the help that you need. Just remember, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long or dark it might seem. Sending positive vibes your way.
Mackenzie Dixon I got on antidepressants when I was pretty young and just this year I stopped taking it. Not everyone should do it, but I feel so much better doing so. I couldn’t even understand the difference between depressed and sad. I wish I got my hormones checked but was so young. I hope you get the help you need girl!! 🧡
Hey! Just wanted to say to you. I feel how Ellie and you both describe feeling. Whenever I went to a dr they told me I was fine when I've been horribly tired and depressed dragging myself threw life. I have 3 kids and it's very difficult to take care of them each day. I finally went and had myself checked out by a natural dr and found out my thyroid is also messed up and my d3 levers were very low. Once I started taking a better d3 supplement I have no longer felt depressed. U should definitely have your parents take u to get your hormones tested.
I definitely understand how you feel ❤️ that everything around you is feels like it’s falling apart and you are the one responsible for it all, all the stress that comes with school and problems that come with friends it can be very overwhelming at point your not alone no one is ❤️❤️
This makes me so angry. I was literally in tears watching this and showing my husband. Telling him, “See I’m telling you something isn’t right!” I have been fighting the same battle and being told I am totally “healthy” for the last 3 years. I have gained 70 pounds in 3 years. (eating and exercising the exact same mind you), I have had trouble conceiving and with miscarriage. My hair is falling out. I have gone from someone who was active and happy to anxious, depressed, and having to make myself get out of bed because I’m so dang exhausted no matter how much I sleep. My Dr. put me on anxiety meds and it got worse. I literally recently told my husband I don’t want to live if this is what life is going to be. I am going to demand that my hormones are checked. We know our bodies and we know when something is off and something is way off. I’m so glad you got your answers Ellie. I pray you start feeling better soon.
Chris Carrington I’m going to get myself checked too. I hope everything works out for you.
I’m 14 always feeling lightheaded and dizzy , went through many test to see what was wrong with me and they all came out saying I’m ok , but I don’t feel ok and been dealing with this for years.
Have you had your thyroid checked? This sounds like a TSH issue
This sounds like hashimotos.
I really appreciate this video. I know it was personal and very hard to share. Thank you for getting raw! I know that this information will help a lot of people! Love you guys!
THIS VIDEO IS SO MANY WOMEN!!!! I hope you guys know that!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for filming this. I have 2 younger sisters and they are those teenagers that are on anti depressants. One attempted suicide, and the doctors have NEVER mentioned checking there hormones and now that I have watched your video I will push for them to get tested. Love you and your family!
Jared and Ellie --relationship goals !
You are EXTREMELY blessed to have such a supportive husband! Praying this starts working immediately and that you feel like a new person
I just love the car conversation. So wonderful and raw.
Oh guys- I’m crying watching this. I’m so happy that you got some answers and I’m lifting you in prayer as the treatment begins to work. Changes won’t happen overnight- so please continue to give yourself grace. As a 5 year watcher- I’m most drawn to your “raw” vlogs and I may secretly LOVE how much you cussed 😂 You have kicked ass and this video will help others!!
Thank you. You may have just now saved my life.
Stay strong
Probably a lot of people will be saved by this. I'm finding a hormone specialist right now!
You got this Brandy!!!!!
Brandy Hall I just started to cry. Stay strong much love
Hugs x
You probably just saved thousands of marriages and lives.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! As one who suffers from major depression and actually just got out of the hospital for it and suicide, I thank you! I’ve felt like complete crap for years now and I feel like doctors are just throwing meds at me to try and help and nothing is working. I’ve felt hopeless, and now I know just what I can do to try and help. There is still hope I suppose. Thank you again! It means a lot that you were so open about this and your struggles. I feel less alone.
Quinn O you're never alone! I know how it feels. I hope you're able to get some answers and solutions. I'm rooting for you!
Please try vitamin B12 drops as they helped both my mood, plus
energy level SO much~Blessings:)
Ellie, I feel like I can relate to you so much emotionally. I am newly pregnant with 3 kids 10, 6, and 14 months old. My husband is currently away for training to eventually deploy again and it's been really rough to say the least! I have zero support locally, but I do my best to take care of everything alone! I wish people were more understanding, caring, helpful, and supportive. I have an amazing husband, but he just can't be here all the time like he wants to. I'm so glad you found some answers! I am highly considering moving back home (Florida) after the new year, because I am just not happy here in Colorado and never have been. But I keep coming back obviously to be with my husband, and then he just keeps being sent away. ❤
Jared crying about the results... my heart
Sienna A. Cook he cares about Ellie so freaking much and my heart!! they are literal goals.
This is so incredibly eye opening. I was crying right along with you. I too have felt like I’ve been “stuck”. It’s a daily struggle for that last 6+ years. I’ve had my dr check levels multiple times but of course I’m “normal”. Because of you I’m making the leap at 27 years old to see a hormonal specialist. I’m tired of being tired, feeling depressed but have no reason to be! I want to enjoy my life with my 2 kids and husband, I want my life back! Thank you Ellie!!!
Ellie I am so sorry to hear what's happening to you, but I am grateful you are strong enough to teach us through your experiences. You are so beautiful inside and out, you have been soo strong and you for sure changed my life forever. Thank you for explaining and opening up to us, thank you for Inspiring me to be a better wife and person. I am sad that your results are not the greatest but I know you will be better soon. Dont EVER stop smiling and thank you guys so much for showing something so personal. Jared....I love that you are soo sensitive for your wifey, I love how you feel and are always there to comfort Ellie, never change. You guys are so blessed. Love you both! Things will get better you will see😘😘😘😘
This makes me realize how lacking we still are in women's health care. Why are doctors not checking hormones routinely? :( they just think we're being emotional?
Reneevee133 omg totally. I just found out I have hyperthyroidism and maybe Graves’ disease. Been dealing with symptoms for 3 years! I’ve gone to my obgyn 3 times and they just thought I had anxiety and was just a sweaty and hot person 🙄
IKR
100% agree. Often when people say 'women's health' they really mean either 'pregnancy and childbirth' or breast/ovarian/cervical cancer (but especially breast cancer). What about women's mental health? What about hormones? What about periods? What about the fact that much of mental health and menstrual cycles are tied up with hormones? As a society, we need to be taking this seriously.
Reneevee133 This is a human issue males AND females should be checked...this affects as many men as women. Not sure why you made it seem like only women should be checked 🤔
@@1ninjatiger Only because women's health has historically been overlooked and repressed. The words hysterical and lunatic stem from the uterus and the menstrual cycle. Women were institutionalized for decades for no reason. But yes, men also suffer from hormone imbalances.
Been here from the beginning and I don't usually comment but I have been sending love your way. So happy for you finally working through it Ellie
Wow! Jared should teach men about how to, well, be! I’m blessed with a wonderful and amazing husband who treats me the way Jared treats you! I had two brain tumors removed, six weeks of radiation and did three years of oral chemo and he was by my side the whole time!! I also am on thyroid medicine and have all of your other symptoms! Thank you Ellie for this video! I’m going to get my hormones checked! People have said rude things to me about my lack of energy and all sorts of things, empathy is hard to find unless you are the one going through it, but we are so very lucky our men are so wonderful, my husband totally understands. It seems that unless the ailment is visible or noticeable people don’t believe you and DO NOT understand what you are really going through!! Thank you Ellie! Your graciousness and openness have given me so much to go on! I hope and pray for your healing!! Stay strong!!! You are a WARRIOR!! Ok, this is a novel now, so I’ll stop typing! 😂😂❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Will be praying for your health Ellie, and your beautiful family. God is great.
Thank you guys so much for sharing, I honestly STRONGLY agree about going the natural route first. It's so interesting how just a couple of hormones that are off could be so devastating. You're literal proof of all the things I say xD GO THE NATURAL ROUTE EVERYONE. It'll save you a lot of grief 👍🏻 thank you Ellie and Jared for sharing!
Ellie I suggest that you take a break of UA-cam because you need to rest even i love seeing your videos
Getting answers is the best! It took me six months of chronic nausea, fatigue, and headaches (and 11 doctors) to get diagnosed with my chronic illness. That feeling of finally knowing you're not crazy and knowing why you've been feeling this way and being able to get a plan to fight it is so powerful and emotional. We're with you Ellie :)
I'm 12 and I've had hypothyroid since I was 8 years old. I love you and you are my favorite UA-cam channel ❤️
Prayers sent out to you Ellie. You have an amazing support system and hoping things get sort out for you ❤
How supportive Jared is 😭😭
Currently crying my eyes out. Ellie I am so sorry you are going through this. I will continue to pray for you and your sweet family. Kudos to Jared for the level of love and support he has for you.
Will you provide the treatment plans? What is the next step?
I would love to know! :)
I pray this help other woman seek help
Can we just talk about Tommy at 20:35 😍😍😍😊💕
Ellie married a really great guy Jared so supportive and sympathetic
I hope you are okay❤️ ps: i would love to have those american fastfood places 😊😋
Ellie thank you so much for being so transparent. You have no idea how many people you’ve helped.
I'm in tears with you. You guys are so raw and genuine, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all. Good luck on getting this all worked out, and thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Ellie, girl do you realize what you have done for so many women? Your courage and grace amazes me. Monday morning I will be calling my dr and encouraging my daughter to do the same. Thank you
I was one of those 16 year olds on antidepressants and went into a week long facility for trying to end my life twice. Not once did I ever think or any adult in my life think it could be hormones (professional or personal life). This makes my stomach drop because I felt like s*** for feeling depressed. I felt like s*** for having the emotions and feelings I had. I felt like s*** for feeling so tired. I felt like s*** for forcing happiness on myself so everyone else thought I was happy. I’m now older with a beautiful baby girl and those feelings have come & gone over the years since I was 16.
If I don’t do it by the end of the year, one of the first things I’ll do in 2019 is get my hormone levels checked thanks to you and this video.
Thank you for your openness. I hope that there are some people that get help from this. Your strength and honesty is beautiful. Praying for you all.
I am 24 years old and have been struggling with stuff very similar. Thank you for sharing this. This helps me to know a bit more of what to do now.
I’m so heart broken for you Ellie. You are so strong to be able to push through this. Prayers for the proper treatment and a quick response to the treatment.
Thank you! I have been diagnosed with PCOS and NONE of the treatments help at all. I never once thought about seeing a hormone specialist. I'm calling and making an appointment asap. I am praying for you and jared and your family on this journey and I'm so glad you were your own advocate and are getting this figured out.
Ellie I’m a single mom and was just about to get on anti anxiety medicine but you’ve made me think twice . I really appreciate this video . I’m in complete tears for you . I love y’all!
I seriously cried thru most of this! You got this Ellie! Bringing those emotions to the surface is hard enough but I’m so happy you’re on the right track for marking yourself better!
Ellie when you talked to Jared about how much you loved him but how tired you are it made me so emotional as I have had hypothyroidism for over 15 years and I have an amazing husband like you who understands the daily struggles. So glad you have some answers as to why you have been feeling this way and look forward to watching your journey to better health xx
Thank You for sharing your journey. I had breast Cancer, estrogen progressive and I am on thyroid meds for hypo thyroid. This video really opened my eyes and Thank You Ellie.
SO glad you found a Dr. who listened to you, continue healing and great luck to you.
Thank you so much. You have inspired me to go and get myself checked. I have struggled since I was 15 with my moods and antidepressants didn’t fix it. I feel exactly the way you describe, I can’t get below 75kg no matter how hard I try. You didn’t just help yourself, by putting this out there you have helped me, my partner and so many others. Thank you for being so vulnerable and uploading this video.
THANK YOU for being open and letting us into this journey with you. It breaks my heart to see what you’ve been through, but I know that greater things are coming soon. Im praying for you health and wellness. 💕 I love you, Ellie.
Thanks Ellie for being so vulnerable and honest with us! That took lots of courage.
I love how Tommy is holding Jared’s hand while he is getting the bottle. So tender and sweet. You’re giving me baby fever!!
Thank you for sharing Ellie. I watched this video today after having a break down at work and crying thinking what is wrong with me. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 6 months ago and will be now going for hormone testing. I feel like I have a lot of the same symptoms you have and cannot thank you enough for sharing and opening my eyes to the fact that you can still be a strong successful person and fight your health battles.
I’ve been on the fence about finding a hormone specialist and I’m so glad you posted this. I’ve always suffered anxiety and depression and your positivity through every situation and your strength as a couple, and also Ellie your raw relatability in this video, this is the sort of thing that really has an impact and really helps people, including myself. Love you guys and wish you all the best!
I cried with you Ellie, I know this video is 2 months old, but I cannot express to you the impact you have had on so many of us. So many of us that don't feel heard, that don't feel like our feelings and lives into consideration by those who are supposed to help us. I shared this to my facebook for all the women I see constantly suffering the way you have. Thank you for all the information. Thank you for pushing through each day when you don't feel like you can anymore. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. And thank you for being an advocate for all of us women. I will definitely be going to get my hormones checked in the near future because of you and I cannot thank you enough!
Thank God...you guys have come into my life! Watching this video I have the SAME EXACT ways as Ellie! I'm looking up endocrinologists now for me! I too have PCOS, couldn't get pregnant without the help of IVF! But now there's some days I just can't get out of bed, thinking I need meds for anti-depressants....Thank you for posting this! Just...thank you! (literally cried with you guys!) SO many hugs to you for spear heading this issue and making people, everyone, aware that we are happy but to not feel happy is very worrisome!
That gets me when people use that "you have a good life, you should be happy." Yes, you have a good life AND you're sick. You can't equate one with the other. Just because someone has a happy life and seems to have everything going for them doesn't mean that they aren't sick. I have had so many people tell me "you're too young to be sick" or "you look to good" or "you're too pretty to be sick." Thanks. AND I'm sick. And no matter how many times you say I should be fine because of my general circumstances, I will still be sick.
Ellie, you're beautiful, you have a wonderful life, AND you're sick. And I'm so glad you're going to get better. Also, antibiotics for 5 YEARS??? That's insane.
Wow. I needed this. I am 19 and all of a sudden suffered from severe acne. Every day I look at my skin and hate it. I was looking at medications and treatments to help my skin. BUT NOT ANYMORE. I have suffered from medical conditions in my early teen years. I am going to get my hormones checked out. Thank you Ellie. You saved someone with sharing your story.
Oh my god. What an eye opener!! I have PCOS AND have been suffering with periods of anxiety and exhaustion on and off for YEARS. I have always throught it was the hectic schedule of being a working student for several years but from changing from part time to full time student and vice versa but the bouts of exhaustion and anxiety have always been there!! This has been so eye opening!! THANK YOU
I have been having issues for the past year or so where I have been tired and uninspired and lacking energy and just done with life. I am almost 18 and I want to have fun but I just cant anymore. I'm always sick. I have thyroid problems in my family and I am almost positive that i have other issues. Watching this made me feel so happy to know I am not the only one. Ellie you are so strong and I look up to you so much. I love you! Thank you.
Praying for you sister! This is making me want to go get my levels checked.
So glad you're getting the help you're needing! It's so important! I understand your frustration about it taking so long to understand why you have been feeling the way you have been feeling.. This is going to be so helpfull to so many women and girls! So proud of you!
I could cry. I have no children but over the last many many years I’ve had so many of these symptoms and had my hormones checked and my regular pcp doctors just say the ranges are “normal” and my quality of life never improves. This has opened my eyes to possibilities I never considered, like the fact that there are even hormone specialists out there. Thank you thank you thank you.
Ellie, this video came at a perfect time for me. I just received my labs yesterday. Basically have the EXACT same thing as you, have been dealing with the same symptoms. Just know that I thank you for being so open and putting this out there. I was able to see it and it comforted me through this confusing time. You’re not alone!
I can totally understand where you are coming from, Ellie! I have hypothyroidism, anxiety and depression, and adrenal problems. I can 100% understand feeling like crap and feeling absolutely exhausted! But now I am feeling so much better after being on medication! With this information, you will finally be able to start feeling better!! Praying for you, Ellie!❤️
Ellie and Jared, I am so proud of you two. Thank you! How is it possible to love someone you have never met? I wish I could give you a hug to help you through all this.
I am so glad you finally found the source of the problem! You’ve really made awareness Ellie! You’re so lucky to have such a supportive, understanding husband.
This video has really opened up my eyes about getting my levels checked. I’m a mother of 4 my youngest is 4 months and I just don’t feel normal. Like you said your tired and your tired of being tired. Well I feel the same way and so much more. I’m so happy you posted this kind of information and I believe it is going to help someone or many many people. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this out there.
I’m crying. I’m so sorry and I feel for you.
Good for you for not stopping until you got answers.
HUGS!
I never comment but I need to thank you for sharing and being so candid.
I just want to say thank you. I have so many of the same symptoms and just feel exhausted all the time. Putting yourselves out there in such vulnerable way is going to help so many people. I am currently pregnant but once baby is born I am going to find a hormone specialist. Thank you.
Thank you for being so strong and brave. This video made me cry from seeing how frustrating it is for you and realizing that’s how I feel. I am going to go to a specialist soon to see whats going on with myself. Thank you so much for sharing and doing what you guys do. I love your family!!
Thank you Ellie! You are shining light on battles others are facing as well. I know this can’t be easy for you. Please remember you are helping so many others that are going through similar situations ❤️
How sweet that u r there for each other.... It looks like vows r true to you... How sweet u step in to care and help her so much
Omg when Jared asked if it felt like the first video, I actually cried. I've been trying to conceive for 4 years. I have PCOS and now I will make a hormone specialist appointment asap. Thank you so much for sharing your life because it has been so helpful for me to not feel so alone.
Ellie you are one of the strongest most capable women I’ve ever come across. Never doubt yourself- be patient with yourself and take the time to rest and get better without feeling guilty. Thank you for loving yourself and being okay with feeling depressed- it helps me have patience and understanding for MYSELF. You’re a very special mother. The support and encouragement you give each other is inspiring to me and my relationship and I am so grateful that you pour your heart out so that we can learn and benefit💕 Thank you Jared for being vulnerable and an amazing husband by allowing yourself to cry on camera and show your love and concern for your wife. Your guys testimony is changing lives- never stop sharing.
i’m 17 and on my fourth month of accutane. there are so many things that i’ve felt wrong with me for so many years, and i’ve been told countless silly things as to why i have acne, but it’s been to many years to have acne just because i ate something wrong or put a wrong product on my skin. i’m hoping and praying my hormones and things aren’t shot from this medication or other antibiotics i’m on. doctors don’t always tell you the whole truth, and i feel as if my dermatologist was simply trying to do the easy thing, but being on this medication sucks, and i feel pretty similar to how you do right now ellie. i know our situations are very different but i feel how you feel and see how strong you truly are for battling with all of this. thank you for being so transparent ellie and jared, love you guys.
I’m booking an appointment Monday Morning. This spoke so deeply to me. I’ve been on anti anxiety meds and anti depressants for a decade for anxiety disorders and depression and have just gotten worse and worse. Thank you thank you, a million times THANK YOU!!
This video is so so so important and thank you for sharing it so that others can learn from it. I suffered for many years with anxiety, depression, and panic attacks when I didn't have to.
Thank you Ellie for sharing this. I suffer from anxiety and depression and thyroid problems. Just like you said I have a great life so people would always point that out to me. They couldn’t understand why I was depressed. I think it’s very hard to understand depression if you have never experienced it. I hope you can get yourself back to feeling normal. God bless you
Wow thank you for the authenticity! This is beautiful. I see y’all hearts and I’m grateful you have answers! This is going to help so many people
Get their hormones checked out before medicating!
THIS..VIDEO....is pure gold. Absolutely pure gold! The tears, the words the feelings...Thank you for the realism!
I’ve dealt with these same issues for years and have been on SSRI’s to deal with my anxiety and depression and mood swings and no energy, and now I’m going to see a specialist because of this video. I know in my gut something else is wrong. Thank you ❤️
thank you ellie. i now know what could be causing my severe acne. i now know where to go. im really glad you guys shared this. i didnt realise how much you were suffering internally so im very sorry for that. but i hope you are feeling a little better now and hopefully you will get better and better
I have been feeling a lot like you describe for the last few years and I always thought I would just get over it thank you so much for making this.
Ellie I'm so happy you have answers and now you can work on a recovery. I wish you the best.
Ellie, thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I am absolutely getting my levels checked out, because I know exactly how you feel and I have been feeling the same for the past year. Thank you ❤️
I honestly cannot Thankyou enough for sharing this information, as much as it hurts to see someone going through this , it is going to help many women girls out there. I wish well and more power to be able to get through this .
