THIS. SO MUCH THIS.
petition for dodie to make another asmr video
So true
i agree she makes me feel so calm 😌
Everyone: slowly falling into insanity because of isolation
Dodie: *Not in ma house*
She’s the best!
This comment is gold😂💜
Definitely ♥️
Rowan slowly? noooooo verrry quickly
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Dorian Aydin Instablaster ;)
To summarise:
*Exercise and 'uncreak your bones'*
-this doesn't have to be extreme or long, you can just put on some music and work up a sweat dancing!
*Get prepped and feel prepped*
-don't stay in dirty, smelly pj's all day, save that for weekends!
*Mediate/think and listen in gratitude*
-just sit, maybe listen to sounds or look out a window, and just...think
*Find fulfilment and/or control*
-organise something or move furniture, feel productive!
*Combat loneliness (not just with FaceTime!)*
-just have someone with you (not necessarily in person) and do nothing, maybe watch something together
*Find comfort*
-watch a comfort show or listen to comfort music
*Pass time nicely*
-spend time knitting, making a bracelet, doing a puzzle, etc.
*'Quick fire round':*
-Light candles in the dark
-Have a bath with candles
-Bake something
-Open a window/go outside in a garden/balcony (wash your hands after!)
I hope this helps someone x
Stay safe :)
Thanks!💜
thanks
Do you have to summarize a 4 minute video...
yes
@@alexandrinaaa1274 do you have to be so negative...
"Have a friend to exist with." Hm. Yes. I heard it wisely said years ago that "we're human _be_ ings, not human _do_ ings."
wait why did this blow my mind
Nice. I like that. Thank you I'll remember that. 😊♥️🌹

dodie you’re honestly the only thing making this quarantine bearable
True
@@louisdark3746 nope. Its true.
@@octavioclerc1722 I do think I like playing and singin
😜🎶 in the grass with her🥰🤭🥰
At this point, dodie is not just a youtuber
She's a state of mind
She's a full-blown counselor rn
She's always had a sweet peaceful presence about her. 🌸💗
GRAMMAR FBI OPEN UP
Lol jk
How is dodie so pretty? Isolation has turned me into a goblin, she’s still so pretty
I was thinking the same thing. My hair alone looks like it’s had a rough life😬
When we sit down to make a vid we also tend to find a visual we're comfortable with having on camera
i suggest watching dodie's other video, "my inner goblin"
she has her own goblin in her, and maybe that can help you love yours too :)
aww love ur goblin, i know i do
Am I the only one who feels like they're listening to asmr while watching Dodie? Her voice is so freaking soothing!
Stillherehiding same!
She did a couple of ASMR videos too, love her voice!
It also helps that there´s no background music in her vloggy stuff, at least for me personally to not overload. I´ve actually just started noticing that, it´s pretty rare
Yess the only asmr I like haha
No cause asmr makes me feel uncomfortable but dodie is more calming
I am a doctor and I just wanted to say that your music is my comfort music and I've found myself revisiting your content lately after a couple of years. Thanks so much for doing your part in this crisis to provide comfort to some of us on the frontlines. I want you to know your work is so important.
was the tv in “exist w a friend” playing the tap dance duet scene in lala land ?
YES HAAAA so glad u noticed
Dodie: have a friend to exist with
Me (an awkward introvert): that’s a bit...impossible
Miss Ravenclaw thought the same thing 😭
Let’s be introverted and awkward together?
Miss Ravenclaw i’ll be your friend my dude. if you’d like one haha
I have found my tribe🙌😂
Hi! If you want someone to talk to, I am here! :D Maybe add me on instagram @laurablijeveld, or we can talk on skype! I see that you also are a Harry Potter fan, so we can def get allong 💛
*Dodie* 72 years ago Fred Rogers Mom talked about you!
''When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news my mother would say to me, *_' Look for the helpers._** **_You will always find people who are helping..'_* To this day especially in times of 'disaster', I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers- so many caring people in this world.'_' - *Mr Fred Rogers*
SantaClaus HawkeyeNJ dodie is the 21st century mr. rogers
Before I clicked read more I saw when I was a boy and my brain just. Sorry
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY MY FATHER TOOK ME INTO THE CITY TO SEE A MARCHING BAND HE SAID SON WHEN YOU GROW UP WILL YOU BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE BROKEN THE BEATEN AND THE DAMNED HE SAID WILL YOU DEFEAT THEM YOUR DEMONS AND ALL THE NON BELIEVERS THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE MADE BECAUSE ONE DAY ILL LEAVE U A PHANTOM TO LEAD U IN THE SUMMER TO JOIN THE BLACK PARADE.
so sorry for wasting your time
I love that man. He helped raise my brother and I. 😊♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@orbitroner I see you are quoting My Chemical Romance song _"Welcome to the Black Parade"._ But why the caps? 🤔
@@orbitroner I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING
"little things, all the stereotypes, they're gonna help you get through this one night"
isolation’s left me alone with my thoughts and i think that’s the scariest thing, i keep getting worried and thinking about what i’ll do once this is over and where my life’s going. i think i just need to remind myself that everything happens for a reason, and that no matter where i choose to go next, what college i go to or what path i take, i’ll be ok. i get into this habit of wanting to know the future and wanting to have a set plan and goal, but life’s just not like that, i think i just need to settle in on the mindset of ‘whatever happens, happens because it needed to, go with the flow and things will always work out’, i need to focus on the here and now and focus on the future when it becomes the present.
I feel you. I always believed I would know eXaCtLy what to do once I’m older, but now that I’m “older” I feel even more uncertain, but I’m happy with where I am(for now). So, what I’m trying to say say is: you’ll be fine. I’m not articulate, so I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense; but please know that thou art not alone.🙃❤️
Miss Ravenclaw , i appreciate this a lot, thank you :)
Not going to lie this is exactly how I’m feeling right now
Oh I’m so sorry! I feel the same way, I sunk into a bad depression about a month ago and got sent to a mental hospital because of it. Just try and force yourself to do something that makes you happy like listen to good music or be productive so you don’t do anything I did
thinking about your life and the future doesn't have to be bad, it can be nice to dream about what sort of person you could to be, all the fun things you want to do Etc, Etc.
I say this because you said you need to, "settle in on the mindset of 'whatever happens, happens because it needed to, go with the flow and things will work out alright'"
and people never say that about good things.
you also said "whatever collage I go to or what path I take, I'll be ok".
many older people I know say that there are always choices and chances to change your mind, you are never really stuck on one path.
Thoughts can be scary, but your mind is your own and quiet time for reflection isn't always a bad thing, it might give you a chance to untangle some of these thoughts.
I shall leave you with my favourite quote from Niels Bohr, "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future." :)
"Watch your comfort show"
Me: Ah yes, time for my Dodie UA-cam playlist
This means a lot to me, because today is my birthday and I have to stay inside with 3 other people that are.. Ok. Can't see my friends, just sad.
Sending love to everyone who is alone! ❤️
Sending love to you , too. Happy birthday luv
Happy Birthday Johanna 🍰🙂
congrats on exiting the womb :D 🎉
Happy birthday!! I know this isolation is kinda crappy, but hopefully some of the things dodie said can help you out. I hope it’s still a good day for you! 💛💛🌈
Happy birthday❤️
While everyone else is learning new skills, I’m learning I’m gay for Dodie

Saaaammee
Everyone's gay for dodie.

"I've spent a hundred pounds on yarn" ME TOO SISTER, me too.
😂😂😂omg
I can’t even sew in a freaking button😅
0:22 "Little things all the stereotypes" they're gonna help you get through this one night and there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it.
She quoted Secret for the mad!
Also sending love to everyone! Stay safe
i kinda needed this just for comfort
Dodie: new video! Help Yourself!
Me: clicks at ungodly speed
cheesy but this really did make me feel less alone. i'm going through a weird time with a break up and then regretting said breakup and it hurts not being able to see him and talk things out, or see my friends. i really do feel stuck and sad and feel a bit teary typing this lol but thank you for uploading this, calmed me down. x
I’m sorry you’re going through this rn. I have no experience in dating, but I have had crushes and those are hard to let go of I can’t imagine what you’re feeling. I hope you feel a bit better tomorrow.🍩 Here’s a virtual donut to make you feel better. 💜
Im going through a very similar experience. Me and my partner broke up the night before i returned home for isolation. Like you said, it was really hard jot being able to talk about the things i wanted to say, and to not have the comfort of being with my friends. Youre not alone in this and things will slowly get better xx
I send you a virtual hug.
me too!!!! very weird feeling, can confirm
I know it's not worth a lot but I really hope you will feel better soon and be able to communicate how you feel to them. All the best
Thank you so much. This helped a lot. I started feeling trapped a 3 days ago after 20+days in isolation. Was lying doing nothing now, feeling just worse. This motivated me to get out of bed. It's something. Thank you. Stay safe and take care of yourself as much as you can 🙏🏼
i was really needing a video like this. my senior year has been completely ruined, so thank you for reminding me to take care of myself during a time it is the LAST thing i am thinking of.
Taylor Lander i'm a senior too, and am having a really hard time with all of this. stay strong 💓💓💓
Same situation!
senior gang ayy
A few of my closest friends are seniors and this is tearing them apart. Take care of yourself and be with the ones you love.
how to instantly feel better: watch a dodie video
dodie: listen to your comfort music
me: puts dodie on full blast at every moment I can
dodie has a way of being sooo calming 🥺✨
dodie: "listen to your comfort music"
me, with my complete dodie, orla gartland, and cavetown playlists in hand: "so heres the thing-"
Feels like you are a friend personally talking to me. I was feeling lonely so thank you for this
i really need this, my boyfriend broke up with me last night (which was needed bc i was too codependent) but it’s soo hard to detach. (Human is literally the story of my life🥴) So thanks dodes 🤍
Alice James I feel you, some years ago, I was in the same situation. There is a hard lesson to learn, I trust you, you will make it! I send you a virtual hug.
thank you very much i have been Struggling
This is really helpful actually, i haven't been taking care of my diabetes and can't sleep, so thanks dodie.
Who thinks that her videos are the best thing there is out there during this corona madness? ❤ Thank you so much my love!
I hope you're well and I wanna recommend you some super cool chill music for these days: Benedict Ammann - Love ain't cheap
Sending you all love from Italy ❤
“Little things, all the stereotypes
They're gonna help you get through this one night
And there will be a day
When you can say you're okay and mean it”
thank you for this, it really helps me in terms of things to get me up and makes me feel less alone during this pandemic. i hope that everyone is trying their best to help themselves and others in this struggling time, and here's a mini reminder to drink some water or grab something to eat as it may help you at least a little bit!
I’ve been gardening and it’s been so so helpful for my mental heath. I’m outside, exercising and I can get lost in the activity. My garden is a complete mess, I moved in a year ago and never bothered to touch it since it’s so overgrown. I love seeing it slowly change and discovering more things each day. If you have a garden it’s a really nice thing to do. If not get plants! I’m so excited to get some little houseplants
thank you
To kind of add on to the last one, open windows!! It allows for nice ambient noise, and it just overall makes your room feel like enclosed and stuffy imo :)
thank you for being mine human first aid, i feel like it bandaged my soul
its week 4 of quarantine and ive been starting to feel really weird and depressed,
but thankfully my mom is very helpful and caring.
also today there has been such lovely warm weather and that ALWAYS helps to change my mood for the better :)
stay sane and healthy everyone ♥
thank you so much for this, my birthday is at the beginning of next month and i've been crying for an hour because i know i'll be in quarantined, and this helped me so much. i love you
Happy birthday in advance. Know that I’ll be eating something sweet at the beginning of next month in HoNoUr of the day you were born. 😂💜
Currently confined to my bed because I've apparently sat so much that I've bruised my tailbone. It really hurts. Try to avoid it, it'll take four or more weeks to heal. Listen to her tip about uncreaking your bones.
Aw so sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon💜
@@ananonymousidiot3156 Thank you so much! 💗
Chikorita2Chante hope your feeling better soon!
Didn't even know that was possible. You must be sitting straight on a hard-ass chair but I'm just speculating. Hope you'll have a speedy recovery dude.
@@marctayson9990 I didn't either and I'm home 4/7 days a week on a slow week. Mostly sit on soft surfaces in fact. That's why it's so surprising! Thanks for the well wishes =D
I am absolutely not ashamed to say I put this on loop so I could listen to dodie's voice as my comfort noise while I read.
Dodie being my therapist during lockdown for 4.10 minutes straight
Im lucky where i am as i live in the countryside with a big field on a cliff, so i can see the sea fron my open window, listening to the waves crash on the sand and the birds tweet or go on a fun little run around on my field with the friendly fox that follows me outside lol
Sounds like a dream! :)
@@izziemusic9198 oh it truely is, i feel so lucky
Wonderful!!! ❤️ Enjoy it
soo jealous. i live in a tiny cramped studio flat in london
thank you dodie ❤️ you're literally like a big sister to me. you're so wise and your advice is so helpful to me and so many other people!
alsooo i love those little drawings 🥺
A lot of people are lonely still. For all kinds of reasons. Self-isolation and lockdown were extreme, but this is good, comforting, sensible advice to us all. Thanks, dodie. Be kind to yourself too. 😊
please please make more videos of you just talking calmly like this. you’re voice is just so soothing
"Me and a bunch of friends watched Jaws the other day. It was nice." _Next sentence_ - "Listen to your comfort music or watch your comfort show...something that you always return to to make you feel calm." *Jaws is literally one of the most un-calm movies ever!! You might feel a lot calmer for simply having skipped that!!*
I come back to this video when I need it most, and it always helps refocus on my needs. Thank you for making this.
For a hot second at 3:22 I thought you said "Ive spent 100 pounds on rum" and I was like ARE YOU OKAY
😂😂
LMAO
dodie: "watch your comfort content"
me: yes that's what I'm doing right now 💅
love you dodie
thank you dodie for lookin out for us in this tough time! i hope ur doin ok as well :) 🥰
Honestly this was just what I needed thank you so much dodie, love you! 💖💖💖
i paused netflix to watch this and i was binge watching brooklyn 99 from the start because it's my emotional support show
but this video is so helpful thank u dodie
Oh cool! My brother has been pestering me to watch Brooklyn 99 for months. Is it any good?
You know what helped? Listening to your voice, just going through that list. It really did.
EDIT: I've just realized I repeated the sentiment of most ppl's in comment section 😁 Dodie, we need you to read us a book or something!
I’ve been making music on fl studio but I have been struggling and the way I help myself is by being kind to others sooooo
If you’re currently struggling in these weird times stay strong we can get through this together
Anyone struggling with depression in these current times you can do this I know what depression is like and how lonely it is but remember your not alone
Anyone with anxiety it’s gonna be ok keep moving and keep going
This is to everyone take care of your mental health, for example
Try to do a small bit of exercise even if it is just dancing like dodie said or even running laps in the garden
Maybe try some new things during this time like I don’t know playing a instrument or something idk 😐
But overall look after yourself and stay strong everything will be ok in the end keep smiling and being yourself because that’s when your most beautiful
That includes you dodie 💙
This is amazing & i hope you can continue your music when you feel ready 💜
i’ve been feeling especially depressed lately thank you so much dodie
Hi what helped with your depression during the isolation
I live in the Finnish countryside and when I go out I literally see no people out of their cars, no matter the time of day. So it's safe to be outside and that's nice but I still feel lonely and bad. My mom lets me buy the groceries so that I can get out of the house and that, too, is nice. I'm lucky but I still feel not so great. I can't imagine what people living in crowded places must feel like, trapped in their apartments unable to go outside without limits. TELEPATHIC HUGS TO ALL OF YOU
This video helped me since I'm currently unemployed and basically sitting around doing nothing all day. It doesn't help that it's freezing outside so I can't go for walks like I normally would...
i was legit just crying about this when ur video popped up i love you dodie
You look so pretty!
First also this video is so calming and helpful! You voice isn’t abnormally chirpy and wild, it is calm and soothing and understanding. All of these tips are so basic yet sound so needed and good coming from you. I love you so much! Please stay safe everyone!
I went down an "old days of UA-cam" rabbit hole last night and it made me sad. Friendships that disappeared, creativity shoved aside in favor of views, and so on. Dodie's right, just take some time to be silent and at peace
thank u dodie, i needed this
I seriously needed and appreciate this video and the thoughtfulness behind it. I’m glad to know i’m not the only one.
Doddie I loved that little streak of light that touched the side of your head, nose and fingers during the video! Good cinematography and comforting words for us all. :)
You know, I completely get that dodie doesn’t love vlogging or making videos anymore, but I’ve felt so...comforted? By the return of her short, speaking or singing at the camera casually. It’s like seeing an old friend when you’ve been thinking about them recently. It’s quite lovely.
THANK YOU FOR BEING THIS CARING ABOUT US DODIE WE LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH
Your videos and music are literally the only thing keeping me sane
Yesterday I went and sat on the ground, in the forest and listened to the songbirds sing and watched them fly around in the trees.
I pity the poor people who live in apartments who can't even go for a walk around the block in the city or go out and just walk around the forest and sing to the trees in the country.
Thanks to Dodie, Tessa, and Orla and all of the other wonderful people doing streams, and what not self isolation has been a lot better than it could have been. I have had things to look forward to this whole time!
You've been my go-to selfcare artist for years and years 💕 Thank you so much. I hope you're okay too 💖
So grateful for this ❤
I love the thought of calling a friend just to exist with them. I'm so lucky that I have my love home with me, but that is another beautiful thought. Also making nice things, to look on the bright side, this can be a beautiful time for creativity for some of us in the right head space.
This is so helpful - thank you so much Dodie! I have been struggling a lot recently with my mental health and of course, self-isolation has not really improved the situation. It helped to hear someone else say that getting up and ready for the day, instead of "sitting in smelly pijamas" is a simple way to feel better. I have been in a constant state of dissociation for about a fortnight and putting on a very me outfit and washing my hair so I smell of my familiar coconut shampoo, really helps me to feel like me again.
Thank you and stay happy and safe everyone!
Win ;)
this is what we all needed thank you🥺❤️❤️
thank you so much dodie, i really needed this
Your voice is so calming, thank you for this dodie 💕 x
the biggest thing i do when i’m depressed is isolate which really just allows everything to fester. i’ve been loving quarantine because i’m self destructive like that and am consistently making myself more depressed by isolating, which makes me want to isolate more. it’s a habit that i was starting to break out of when this whole mess started. this video has helped. thank you.
This video makes me feel like I’m sitting and talking with a friend. 💜
Thank you Dodie for this helpful big-sister talk💗 It was needed🙌🏻
moving my body everyday is the only reason i can stay vaguely sane. i make myself go for at least a walk everyday, and even though i might not want to at the beginning, as soon as i get home i feel LOADS better.
Im stuck at uni and for some reason still have essays to write
I get distracted in my flat so I usually take myself to a cafe and sit Alll day writing. A good tip for people in similar positions is to really simulate that environment. I put up some lights, I brought my desk plants into the kitchen, I even made a playlist with all the groovy music I hear in cafes. Close my eyes for a bit and I'm in my favourite coffee shop down the street. It's open and sunny and makes the process much more intriguing :)
ngl i really needed this & i got this notif when i was feeling sad, thank you dodie ❣️
Not me 9 months later coming back to this video at 4am in an attempt to calm my anxiety...💛
one thing I've realized since isolation has begun is how incredibly touch starved I am. school distracted me so I never noticed and I usually got quick hugs off and on during the day. but now that I'm in a home where hugs never happen, and family affection and closeness has never been a thing, has made me realize how much I want to be hugged and cuddled. I just want a warm embrace, and to talk to someone who understands and expresses care for me. I sound pathetic, but I'm a huggy person and I'm getting antsy. god I babbled. I hope you all are staying safe and cozy. remember to wash your hands. take care!
For any Nurses in the room, Student, Auxiliary, Trained (Staff), Doctors, Physios, Paramedics, ECA, EMTs etc especially people who are new to the profession like me.
Times are hard at the moment so remember to talk to your colleagues and family (Especially if you have a medical family like me) about work, unload that shit and don't be afraid to be valuable.
I broke down in the shower after my last shift, spoke to my mum about everything and felt pretty good afterwards.
My point is don't bottle it up like I have over the last few months, talk to people that'll understand, if that's not family then it'll be your colleagues and work mates because honestly only people that have experienced all of it will understand.
i really needed this. thank you dodie.
i've always looked up to you for advice like this and I really appreciate it a lot. you're words are so comforting whether it's in the form of a song or not. i admire you for that. thank you for helping me get through rough patches Dodie
Isolation has been hard for me lately because it’s been heightening my mental illnesses. Recently I went through a period of intense derealization and paranoia and i felt so trapped and alone that it was like I was in another dimension. It is hard! I know a lot of people are also probably feeling this way, but we will get through it. Dodie, I want you to know that you have been my comfort content. When I feel like I’m not real and I can’t see and I’m alone I’ll read your book and watch your videos, or I’ll sit and close my eyes and listen to your music on repeat until I calm down. Thank you for making me feel less alone and insane in these times :)
It's so hard to have to be the one to remind myself about these things. Sometimes remembering self care is even harder than just forgetting about it. So it is so so sooo nice to, for once, not be the one trying to tell myself what's good for me. I can listen to someone else reminding me that it will make me feel better, and that trying to feel okay doesn't have to be painful.
praise be! praise be! our godess hath returned
Love this comment so much😂💜
Dodie’s so kind 🥺❤️
Dodie's voice is so relaxing & her videos bring me so much joy
My quarantine hasn’t been difficult because of the isolation, but because of my situation. My niece and nephew (8 and 4) stay with my family from Friday to Monday every week due to my sister’s (their mum’s) alcohol problem. Because my parents are in their 50s they’re not fit for dealing with two very very hyper energetic children, and are always mad at them. So I (15 years old) try my very best to help out at all times. My parents are also very stressed over my sister and are usually yelling at her on the phone, arguing about her to each other, or just arguing with each other for no reason. The house is very angry a lot of the time, even during the week. It’s not nice for me. I’m always tired and drained and stressed from the kids. (Plus I have an iron deficiency which doesn’t help) so keeping up with countless assignments all due very soon is getting tricky. Especially considering the kids might be living with us full time soon if the problem gets worse. I’m worried
Dodie oh how nice it is to see you. Freckles and constellations is a favorite song of mine
Love this Dodie. Thank you. ❤️
Honestly getting dressed helps me feel so prepared for the day, even if I don’t have anything real to do
I don't have any close friends. All this narrative during the pandemic about surrounding yourself with calls or activities online with "friends" makes me feel like a failure. My friends left me alone, they push themselves away from me on purpose. I feel extremely lonely and misunderstood. It seems I'd never be good enough for anyone to be my friend. They all leave, they always disappear. I don't know what to do anymore.
