For anyone reading this, counseling can be a slow process. It’s not instant results, but rather hard work. Sometimes you won’t even get to the right counselor at first for whatever reason it is. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep trying. I really hope you do keep trying if you can afford it. ❤️
Samantha Stroupe facts! Thank you for sharing this, I love when the comments section is used for an open discussion, love you and wish you a life full of growth ❤️
This is SO FREAKING RELATEABLE. I was in a relationship on/off for 4 years. When it ended last year I felt completely lost with my myself/life. I've always struggled w/ anxiety/depression but that breakup spiraled it out of control & I forced myself to go to a psychologist since I'm in college and can't afford to waste my life being home depressed. Hearing from you & ur thought process really helped me w/ my own thoughts. Us as women need time and space to grow independently and find our selves and our passions. I freaking love you girl thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Since you've gotten out that long relationship you seem much more mature and calm. It's crazy how people can have such a negative effect on us without us even knowing it
Currently going through many life changing situations myself. It's great to see raw footage and vulnerability because it's a way I carry myself as well. I've been watching your videos ever since you uploaded your first video and it makes me so happy to see how you've grown. You inspire me, and if I get it together, I hope to inspire others on UA-cam too. Thank you for this.
I love & felt when you said “there are so many doors & opportunities & I feel like I’m meant to do so many things.” Thank you for sharing your journey of finding yourself. This speaks to many. I believe you’re gonna be okay & do amazing things. 💜
Thank you for being so vulnerable, I’m currently going through something similar where I was I’m a toxic relationship years ago and I thought I was over it but I’m still dealing with the deep rooted pain. It takes time and hard work but you are so worth it 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for this , I’ve been contemplating seeing a therapist for a long time as well, in 2014 i too made an appointment but never went through with it . You’ve inspired me to not be afraid and seek the help i need
Wow Jess.. what you’re going through is exactly what I’ve been battling with myself. Doubt, insecurities I never knew I had, fighting inner demons.. ugh and I’m such a closed off person when it comes to speaking about what I’m feeling and thinking. I need to change that bc I also don’t feel like myself anymore. Thanks for the inspiration ❣️
I just started watching your videos like a week ago - I just ended my four year relationship because I wasn’t happy with myself and in it and I needed to hear this, so thank you
I feel as though, I understand exactly what you are going through. I, myself was in an unhealthy/toxic relationship for about a year. It took me a few times to finally cut it off completely. I have been single for about 2 & 1/2 years. I lost myself in that relationship. I felt my happiest when I started becoming a better version of myself. However, now I realized that I'm scared to get into a serious relationship due to my past one. I mean I love being single but I have met some guys who are great and I end up pushing them away. It's a struggle. As for therapy, I am the worst when it comes to self-care. I'm busy with school and family, that I don't put myself first ever. Anyways, thank you for posting these kinds of videos up. I've always loved hearing what you have to say. You've definitely grown a lot & I am proud of you for not staying comfortable and facing your fears
Iv’e been struggling with depression and seeing my therapist has helped me improve so much..you’re so beautiful and inspirational..thank you for sharing 💞
Man i can relate to some of this . I had a therapist before miss having one. It really does make a difference in life when you have one. Thanks for being transparent an an open book. Sharing your life trials and tribulations .
Jessica I have been a guidance counselor for 20 years and it seems from what you have shared that you have a strongly qualified team, you are so fortunate! I have been to amazing counselors, and inadequate ones, which I found to be quickly evident. I too wasn’t that sure what was going on until I worked through some major topics and suddenly things fell into place. Keep up the faith, the journey will continue! Also, as you work through different jobs and classes, you will narrow down what your passion is. I went into a field of elementary guidance counseling, of which there were zero jobs in my state. The next year elementary schools provided counselors for every school. You just never know!
Yes girl I’m glad that you are feeling much better ! As for your career I hope you find what makes you truly happy; because work can be just for the money just because you have to do it or it can be something that you truly love and that makes you happy 😊 love your videos and I’m glad that you put videos like this out there instead of faking it. 💕
I love this video! The journey of life is very interesting to say the least. But what a beautiful thing as you grow into who you truly are. Tyfs Jess 🙏❤️
This video truly helped me. I feel very connected to your situation since I am going through similar issues. I went to therapy two weeks ago and did not make another appointment but now I will!
Thanks Jess for another video like this! I just want to say that I hope people go to therapy after this. If you're scared, you are allowed to be but take the step. Once you get started it gets less scary and you end up looking forward to each session and feel refreshed after each one.
Thank you for making videos like this! I'm going through somethings myself at the moment that I don't know how to express, because I don't know the root of it all. On day #2 of going back to the gym. It's been really helping. I might just start writing it all out . Again Thank you.
Around @3:00 Jessi talks about control. Around 30 years ago, another 21 year old California woman ROCKED the world with her interpretation, for the importance of gaining control. Janet Jackson released 'Control' as a declaration to her self direction lifestyle. So basically, we are witnessing Jessica make the same big moves.
This video was honestly amazing .. it’s so honest and pure about your feelings and it’s so amazing to see you grow! Now thinking about going to a therapist too 😛
As someone who works as an Intake Specialist I’m glad you have given therapy an opportunity. I refer people to therapists on the daily and many people go through with it and others don’t. Everyone is ready at their own pace. Someone else mentioned this already, but therapy is a process. Some people find a match right away and for some people it takes time. Be patient and never give up on Y O U (:
Idk why but I got emotional watching this video. Well i guess I know why. I was once in a very toxic relationship a few years back and it was something I didn’t want to leave (even though I knew it was bad for me). After finally accepting the fact that I had to let go I had to learn to be alone and do things on my own and let me tell you it was the hardest thing ever. Anyway, Jess you have come so far. You have matured so much and I’m so happy for you. You have changed for the good. I do hope that one day you get to be with someone that loves you for you and that you get to love someone.
I don’t think you have to narrow what you want to do to one thing, especially this day in age we need more than one source of income for the life style we want , but most especially of course do what you love 💕 I love you being so personal with us , keep up the amazing work Jess ❤️❤️
Thank you for being honest jes!!!!! I love this because there are some people going through what you have been through and need to hear this !!!!!! 🤟🏾💯😩❣️ much love from ATL 🍑
Thanks for the video Jess 🙂 I have been thinking to see a therapist again for awhile since there is a lot of things going through my mind, but I'm not sure when to go see one. I talk about my thoughts and feelings to my boyfriend, but due to our schedule for school, we barely see each other. I rather talk to him about what's in my mind in person than texting or talking on the phone. I guess I will see a therapist when I feel like I really need someone to listen. At least the semester is almost over then me and my boyfriend can spend more time together. Also, I'm a Psychology major, and I'm starting to realize that there are other things that I would like to do in Psychology 😃
I love you so much, you are the most raw and shameless creator on UA-cam. Could you do a video on how you found a therapist and like the research you did? There’s so many places in my area and I don’t know where to start and pricing and all of that
I've been wanting to see a therapist for over a year now and I think I have insurance that might cover it but how do I get started? do I call my insurance or go to my dr?
Call the number on the back of your insurance card to find out if its covered. Your insurance should have a website thats tells you what doctors/therapists are covered under your plan. Pick one that you think might be right for you (i suggest getting a hispanic female assuming you are one because they'll understand you better). Call their office and ask if they're taking new patients and set up an appt!
Jessss i say this with a loving heart , you should definitely try going to a spiritual retreat , i am catholic, and my church , San Gabriel Mission they do spirtual retreats where they leave friday and come sunday , it seems like you have a very strong conscious mind, you have tje gift of conviction , you are very blessed and you always do the oppsoite of what its telling you , you need to learn to follow your conscious, i have that as well , i have been trough a lot , and it seemed reagardless of the job or career path that i took i was never happy . I have a loving family , and yet i wanted to always be alone , and sleep. I was very anxious, and worried all the time ... i was never happy because i felt i didint dersve happiness ... please look into it and i can tell you for experience Jesus will be that fulffillment in your life , he will be the happiness in your life , he will send you where you need to be either to help a friend or to mission in places where people need your love and joy ! You have a purpose girl dont forget that
You should get counseling for that nail paint job. Naw, just kidding. I like the truth, the truth is real. Van Gogho said "lies are ugly", " the truth is beautiful","paint the beauty of life". This video seems pretty honest. It's sometimes hard to get to decent point in life. Where the mind and body can both be in good health. Good luck Jessica. I mean it. I'm pulling for you
Lmao leave Charles out of this. Still stuck in the past? Charles is doing great minding his business and focusing on his family. Gtfo with your bad vibes
leilani_333 000 I know, you’re right. I’m just trying to get this bread but I can’t give up my day dream, I now am committed to making way more videos and not letting anything get in the way or distract me ❤️
For anyone reading this, counseling can be a slow process. It’s not instant results, but rather hard work. Sometimes you won’t even get to the right counselor at first for whatever reason it is. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep trying. I really hope you do keep trying if you can afford it. ❤️

Jessica Valadez plus we’re young, and now we’ll know what we don’t want ❤️
This was refreshing and so genuine, thank you Jess 😊

So incredibly happy for you Jess❤️ therapy in my opinion is so worth it, it’s not for everyone but it is worth trying and putting in the effort
