#mentalhealth #completedisaster #depression - Навчання та стиль
I am so encouraged by your comments! I can't respond to each one, but I appreciate you for sharing your struggles with me! I hope you are encouraged by the other comments and you know that you aren't alone in this and there is help if you need it! Stay strong and lean on God! Love you all!❤❤
I'm so😢 sad . I'm glad that I found you thanks for sharing. Keep up with the great work 👍
Je ne te connais pas mais félicitations. Je suis fière de toi. Étant mère de 4 enfants mariée mais avec très peu d'aide. Je te dis bravo et continue dans tes efforts ❤
You are a very strong woman. Cause simply showing your struggles to the world isnt a easy task. But overcoming through it and making your way out a tremendous effort. You have a beautiful home. I've been there and I know how it feels when your depressed and you try to lift your self up and you can't because you loose strength and energy. And you don't care anymore. Because it's not that you don't want it's that you can't. You feel like your world is upside down and you can't move, and can't talk. You feel sick, like drowning in the middle of the sea. But thank God, you have made it successfully to the point of coming out of it. And I that's great! I wish you the best ❤️
😊a
You did a huge & thorough cleaning of your place! You are so strong!!
I'm a therapist. I just wanted to say how helpful I know videos like this are for clients who are struggling with poor mental health. You've offered *hope* and for people who feel overwhelmed, that's so so important. ❤
Спасибо Thank u!U r right!
I am one of those searching for hope and inspiration.
Always here for anything positive!!!! Have a blessed day!!!!!
@@Dr.JudeAEMasonMD❤🎉
I’m in this state right now and I can’t get out of 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
If you're here to leave a negative comment, I want to encourage you to show grace to others. If you see someone struggling, instead of insulting them, ask them how you can help them. And if you are unable to be kind or help, then it is best to leave without making the situation worse. Remember, we aren't all going through the same experience in life. All the best to you! ❤
God bless you for having the courage to share. You are an inspiration to me.💕
Lovely human being ❤😘God bless you and heal you
Love this cause ppl be rude, mean and unnecessary in my comments so it’s refreshing to know and see ppl are caring and positive
I have just moped and swept my house and right now I have seen your video....I know sometimes life just overwhelming...and we don't want to take little steps....but you did great!
Nice to have all these positive comments.
First timer. I got right up, prompted my phone to listen and cleaned up with you. Listening, cleaning, and crying. I'm proud of you, never alone Thank you! ❤
HUGS TO YOU HUN!!! LORD KNOWS THERE ARE SO MANY OF US WITH EITHER MENTAL OR PHYSICAL ILLNESS THAT LEAVES IS JUST LIKE THIS AND WE NEED EACH OTHERS SUPPORT❤ ONE LOVE!
As a fellow mom, I just want to give you a hug. That is a lot for anyone to go through. You're doing it all and holding your family down, Mama. It's ok to struggle, it's ok to try again. I'm rooting for you and anyone else with mental health problems that's reading this!
I rather watch these than the ones where the moms make their life look so unrealistically perfect...love love love this video it makes me feel so much less alone as a mom! I always thought all moms had their stuff together because of social media which contributed A LOT to my depression.
Right 😂lol this is real Life
Same! We need more realistic videos.
This video helps me as a widower father of five of my children it inspires me.
My depression sometimes it became normal.
I just want to break free of that bar.
Thanks to your video I am cleaning and listening to your advice at the same time thank you.
I also like your cleaning music vibe.
Its not realistic its the life of someone mentally sick. Its not the norm. Stop founding excuse if you dont have a mental condition
People who haven't gone through depression don't understand what courage it takes to get better and the progress you have made is fantastic. Don't let other people's negative comments affect you.
I hadn’t equated my mental health with my cluttered/messy home until fairly recently. Thanks to people like yourself who are brave enough to share their experiences, I realize I’m not just a “slob” or a “freak”, etc. I spent years feeling like there must be something wrong with me in order to struggle so much with the basic things that came so easily to others (or so it appeared from the outside).
Much love. Proud of you!!! And thank you so much again! ❤
Assistindo voce, sinto um pouco de animo para fazer os meus servicos domesticos ! Conheco muito bem o que e a Depressao !!!
I had an older woman tell me once the way your house is is where your mind is.
Not being judgemental, but I can't help but notice how beautiful her home is. Gratitude is in order Mama.
This is exactly how depression works. It's hard to pull out of the darkness, you should be very proud of yourself. This is a lot more relatable than you may think. Thank you so much for posting this, you have a lot of strength, you deserve a lot of big hugs for letting us in.
Totally agree. Depression is an invisible monster. Then we are left with the disaster
It’s THE worst. Literally in a sunken place.
depression is hard sometimes by the time you notice that you have it its to late lol
Depression is often completely unrecognised until you're so deep in it, it feels like there is no way out.
I have messed my entire life up through my apathy and inaction. It took a health condition brought on by my self harm to realise I was depressed.
I now go to therapy, but its a long journey and I've yet to make any real progress out of the hole, but the want is almost there. I can taste it.
Which when you just wished the hours away is a massive change.
You want to change Vs. Just no longer wish to exist;
My apartment is currently in a similar state and has been getting progressively worse for about 2 years now. I felt so alone until I just found your video. My mental health has prevented me from getting back on track in terms of getting everything cleaned and keeping up with it like I used to. I look at the mess and honestly just freeze most days and do nothing. This is so unbelievably inspiring. Getting up now and am going to work on a little bit at a time. Thank you so much for posting this. It took a lot of courage and I truly appreciate you! God bless you! ❤
Exactly. Just a little bit at a time. That is what I do. I don’t allow it to get hazardously nasty, but things can definitely pile up. We got this. A little bit at a time.
You’re not alone mama, you got this, YOU can DO it!❤
How ? 😢
It's been about 3 months since you posted this hope you continued the cleaning process and are in a better state of mind❤
U got this🥰😍🙌💪❣️
Finally someone being real and a home that looks like a depressed persons home. My house is an absolute wreck and I didn’t realize I was depressed but I am. I lost my mom in july and that has taken an emotional toll on me. Everything has gotten behind, bills, yard and home. Things I use to be so on top of. Now I’m struggling to get things back right. Thanks for your video!! It helped me feel not so alone. I’m proud of you!!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!! Being a single mother is hard and keeping your house up while working adds a whole other level of difficulty to life. Thank you for posting this video. You're doing great.
No single mom here, but my husband is disabled. Taking care of everything on my own is so exhausting sometimes. Thank you for this video. I felt I was constantly failing, but I'm doing all I can and that is all I need to do! 💪
Same here
Please know that you are doing what you can for your husband, and he appreciates you. It's ok to feel overwhelmed. Take a break regroup. It's a lot, but you got this. God will continue to strengthen you. Give yourself permission to be ok with not being ok. Doing your best is good enough.
Same here 🥹
So thankful to not be alone!
Bo! I feel you! I took care of my dad for 15 years. It is backbreaking! Sending love and positivity to you! I see you, you're an angel walking, I beg of u to love yourself! Not enough people like you....look in the mirror and say that!
As someone who struggles with depression and executive dysfunction, I love seeing videos like this.
Thanks for sharing I never heard of this disorder I had to Google it I have to look into this more ❤
I totally read your comment as erectile dysfunction and had a good laugh. I am bipolar 2 and also suffer from those ADHD tendencies including executive dysfunction and it is such a struggle.
Now let me go find my glasses!
Thank you for sharing this. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety years ago. After 14 years of counseling and medication, depression and ptsd (military trauma) is in remission. I’m left to deal with anxiety but with prayer I have conquered this too . 🙏🏽 I know exactly how mental health can effect your home. I can be just like this sometimes. Heavens when my fiancé met me, I didn’t hide what I was facing and he helped me organize and clean my home. I’m so thankful for God’s Grace and blessing. As of date I have 1 junky room and that’s my office but that’s how I found your page. (Typing : You Tube-How to organize your office. ) I shared your video with my fiancé to show him mental health can effect so much of your life. I’m following your journey now 😊
I can relate to you, because I have struggle also, my house reflect this. I'm happy to hear that you had someone to help you around the house. I wish, I could get some help, my office is in a mess. Hopefully, I can work on it soon.
💜
Thank you. I'm literally in tears. This is a huge problem with me my ENTIRE life & huge source of conflict with my parents. They get enraged & very judgemental but they don't understand & I don't explain it or try to help them to. But videos like this not only help ME understand MYSELF & not think I'm worthless & show myself some grace but I can send it to my dad to better help him try to understand my broken brain.
I am a therapist who has also had bouts of depression and I’m just so impressed with your organization abilities and your energy! Good job Faith! You inspire me.❤️
Don't know where she got the huge energy to clean all that up and do a great job.
Girl they were talking about themselves when they called you names. Depression has "look." It affects people differently. The fact that you tackled the mess speaks VOLUMES!!! Keep going! I love your videos! Sometimes it's not your mental health. Sometimes you're just tired and its ok to be tired. Parenthood is work!
Tired and busy,so you keep going. Waiting for a day when you won't be tired or busy and can put a good few hours into deep cleaning.
Easier said than done.
I feel a majority of the time we do not want to admit that we all struggle with mental health issues. I too believed I was just too lazy to get going on cleaning and keeping up with my housework. I have no children. So to those mama's who do it all you are my inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey. May God continue to bless you always.
No we all don’t struggle with mental health issues
I want to say I am a single mom of five kids. I have panic attacks, anxiety and bipolar 2 with Manic Depression. And let me tell you I have watch a lot of cleaning and organizing videos and I have never found one I can relate to till now! When I came across your video it’s inspirational and makes me feel a lot less alone! I appreciate your bravery and strength posting this for moms like myself! Your am amazing women 🩷
Fellow single mom here. I accidentally ran across this video, but I no longer believe it was an accident. I am going through the exact same struggle and your video encouraged me so much. Thank you for your raw vulnerability. This video is a breath of fresh air.
I am encouraged as well!
As a professional non judgemental cleaner you are definitely not the only one who dealt with this. You are brave and changed ppls lives without even knowing it. You give people strength by living in your truth. Love it and support you 100%. Theres ppl who would never take accountability. Or dont want to. Thank you for the content.
Mom of four here. (One set of twins) I have anxiety and PTSD…it could easily turn into depression, as I can get overwhelmed. I give myself grace. We all go through the same things regardless to if it’s diagnosed or not. Keep going. Thank you for sharing
I love this video. I just lost my sister two weeks ago and it’s been really tough! I know I’m not lazy but my home has become a little messy! I just did a clean with new video while grieving! When the weight of the world seems like it’s on your shoulders, God is there to lift you up!! God Bless you sister❤️
Sending some love and light ❤ in your situation. Your not alone
My condolences beautiful I am in grief myself as I lost my husband in September. I have days I just don't want to do anything. Or days I do a little at a time. Do what feel is good for you as I've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety and bipolar. So GOD and my strength as well as my husband get me up. 🙏🏾
@@myieshastyles9344 sending you some virtual love in your time of grief
First off, I want to address the haters. If you have never suffered with depression, you have NO IDEA what Faith is going through. Until you have walked in her shoes, please be kind. That's the last thing she needs is someone putting her down. Faith, I feel for you, because I have dealt with depression all my life and it's not a good place to be. I want to say personally, you are a wonderful Mother and very truthful. Your boys are so lucky to have a Mommy like you. Since this is an old video, we know that you have come a long way. God bless you and the boys!
Totally agree, DEPRESSION doesn’t exempt ANYONE!!! and it will slowly kill you inside 😭
Thank you for having the courage to post this. May the VAST NUMBER of women you have encouraged through your video dowse the judgmental comments of the FEW. Seeing that "I'm not the only one who struggles with this" was a God-send. Thank you!
I suffer from severe depression and I totally understand how a house can get out of hand. You're an inspiration to me to keep getting my house straightened up and cleaned. So many people don't understand severe depression and what effects it has on a person's life. God bless!
I struggled a lot for about 4 years it was a lot of anxiety and depression that turned to Agoraphobia. My parents didnt think I needed to see someone when i asked for help. It took my twin to say “hey i think you need help.” She saved up working three jobs to put me in therapy and it helped me so much. I’m working now and trying my hardest not to slip back into it. A lot is still going on but we just gotta keep going~
Stay Encouraged! 💗🙏💗
This is a beautiful story!! Sounds like your twin is an amazing support system. As someone who has had major depressive episodes with lots of agoraphobia it does get sooo much better. Take it one day at a time and remember one day you’ll get the wonderful feeling of having overcome that agoraphobia; as you already have
This video made you BRAVE. You shared what a lot of ppl were dealing with during depression and C19. I am sorry that ppl were judgmental and rude. You don't deserve that. Depression is a struggle on its own. Add C19 and being a single parent that magnifies everything by 100. Prayers for your journey, stay strong, and don't listen to negative ppl who have never walked in your shoes. You should be able to look back on this video and see how far you've come. GOD BLESS❤🙏
I to suffer from depression. People don't realise how hard it is. Ignore their comments as they never know when it can happen to them. I always put music on to help me through the day. Stay strong and keep on trekking. Xxx❤
Amen!!! I have the same struggles
Same here. And I think social media doesn't always help. Sometimes it gives off this impression that everything's perfect & pristine. But the truth is that's not reality. Life has it moments & people go through ups, downs, hardships, etc. Stay Encouraged Everyone! 💗🙏💗
@@stewartshreenan8256 ❤ Fight the Good Fight, you got this!❤
Part of imo is -in some social media- theword “depression”is too casually used. People will say “I’m depressed” or “I have depression because I couldn’t find a parking space at the store.”
Some people have clinical, diagnosed severe deep where even medication, close monitoring, and even psychiatric hospitalization might be needed. I applaud this lady and her sharing with others her particular struggle. I wish her well. 🌸🪴🙂
For what its worth, Im proud of you. This is what sacrificial love looks like. Doing what needs to be done despite depress. Your children are blessed to have you.
I am a social worker and I cannot express how much this video will help people who struggle with just starting. Your self-awareness and empathy are encouraging. All good things as you go forward.
Your video saved my day. I’m just pulling out of a dark place and I just wanted to stay in bed and boom my dishes, laundry and my balcony are all done and it feels amazing. Thank you for sharing your story so that I could remember we all struggle.
I am so proud of all who keep persevering. .My best friend allows me to clean her place- just to a point. She's an amazing woman and should never be judged by her housekeeping. I just laugh and say we'll both be in trouble when I can't do it anymore 😂
As a single mom. I love you faith. I struggle with mental health too. Most will understand but if they don't you keep going. There will always be ignorant people. I love your videos because they are real. My son has know idea how he kept me going. He is in College now and I am so proud of us. Proud of you girl.
@Lemons Limes loo
I am a single mother too! Believe me, we can do more than we think we can! It’s hard, most of the times I feel overwhelmed. I have the same feelings and concerns you have. You’re not alone! We are together in this journey! You have my heart and my appreciation.
Anyone who calls you names is just unhappy with themselves, they are not healthy in the mind, so ignore them. Wanted to see more of the finished clean up ❤
You're a very strong woman for wanting to help others who are in the same situation. Most normal people have good, bad and horrible days with housekeeping. Depression can cause a freeze in people, others work outside the home with kids and then activities in evenings. Many reasons! You are therapy for many normal, busy people! Be Blessed as you help others and as you help yourself!
Watching videos like this of people getting their lives back and spreading awareness has helped me with my own battle with mental health issues. I use to not care about my hygiene, cleaning up my space, or even getting out of bed. I tend to be private on my issues but everyone copes differently. I hope you continue to thrive and God bless!
You got this ❤ sending so much love and hope your way 💗
TORI C I TO CANT GET OUT OF BED HOW DID YOU DO IT HOW DID YOU GET UP AND MOTIVATED AND GET MOVEING
Me too!
@@deborahcincotta3600 for me personally, it was my prayer group that told me I was worth more than letting depression take over. Granted they knew it wouldn’t be easy and would support me no matter what. But hearing someone else say that I’m worth more than my negative tell me and that God loves me more than that. They used my religious beliefs to help me and not condemn me. Plus I’m on the right medications now. Granted everyone is different and I pray for you to find the right way for yourself to feel better
Sending some love and light ❤ in your situation. Your not alone
I have a dear friend who is a hoarder. Things got worse after her daughter died a year ago. I am physically unable to do it all. It’s a huge job I can’t tackle alone. The thing is, I’ve seen her house go from bad to totally out of control. I’m trying to gather a few to help get her house in order. She fell a month ago and broke her shoulder and she is 75. This is because she has so much that it’s become unsafe. I wish I could do it all😢 What’s sad is seeing her decline. I feel it’s so important to have your home neat and clean. It changes even your outlook on life. I appreciate anyone who will help others in their time of need. We are to serve others just not ourselves.
I watch you when I’m feeling overwhelmed and don’t want to do anything. You motivate me to keep going through my depression.
This video has given me motivation to fight through my mental issues and get back to my life, didn’t think I could do it. Thank you so much for sharing people don’t realize how hard it can be. Stay strong.
Depression is real. We was raised not to talk about mental illness. I thank you for sharing. I’m glad that you made it out to be with your children.
im so glad she made it out as well with those babies
Ms. Faith, I've been watching your channel for quite some time. I just want to say you. That you are as beautiful and spiritual as your name! I too raised 2 kids as a single parent. The difference is my adult kids are 9 years apart. You are an absolutely amazing mommy ❤ You take such excellent care of your 2 beautiful little boys 💙 🙏🏽 Please try your best not to allow negativity to break your mental health. You have enough that your dealing with. Managing a household by yourself and everything that comes with it! I am so very proud of mommie ❤ You are amazing and life is lifing. AND IT'S OK!!! Live for you stop caring about what people say. I prays you, your content is so uplifting and motivating. 💪🏾🙏🏽 Faith you are so worth is and you matter so much to us followers 💜 Keep doing what you are doing and just do your best, okay. God bless you and thank for being vulnerable you inspire me so much ❤💪🏾🙏🏽 Ms. Ramona P.S.: LIVE FOR YOU GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART.......
LOVE you Faith, and no lazy person could do what you did. You are a beautiful young lady, mom, human being for sharing your liw times it takes so much strength Girl. You did such a great job, most these shows the looks like you eat off floor when they start. I want to someone who keep it real. Praying fir you Girl. 🙏 Jesus loves you and me too. Remember haters always equally zero., nothing times nothing is exactly that nothing be Encouraged .
Amen
I'm proud of you too and this is my first time seeing your video! I just wanna say thank you for posting this video because I'm actually in this EXACT position! I live with my family, and I have my own room. I have been wanting to clean up, but it's just been hard for me to get up out of my bed and clean. I've been extremely tired even when I wanted to clean up. You are so not alone! Thank you and God bless you for posting, sis. I love you and ultimately, Jesus loves you! You're never truly alone and im so happy your video randomly appeared in my feed. Keep going. You never know who needs to see this. Also, I have been in the same boat with giving up. 🥺 People can be ignorant and vicious with their personal attacks. I'm sorry you experienced that, you did not deserve that. 😔 I'm so glad you posted your home! That's a huge step because it's not easy posting your personal belongings on the internet.
So brave of you sharing what real life can look like! It's easy to believe that all homes are perfectly clean and perfectly decorated when you watch YT-videos and that increases the burden many are carrying. They get thd confirmation that they aren't good enough since their homes are looking perfect. So thank you for sharing and I do believe that many will be helped thanks to you!!!
I'm also a single mother of twins and struggling with depression and anxiety...I feel like watching your video I feel like I was listening to myself ...down to going to the gym for hours before the twins, to having the twins and falling off , to being alone .. omggg I'm so happy I found you.. I'm hoping I will find the strength like you did.. please pray for me...
I'm praying for you sweetheart. You can and will do it.
Everyone faces their own challenges in life. Shame on anyone for beating you up…you do an amazing job and be proud of what you have accomplished. Blessings to you and your family.
I’m cleaning while watching this video and everything you said was soothing and helpful. I have the same struggle, where I love a clean house and I do love to clean, but when depression strikes I feel immobilized, and I can’t find the strength to get up and clean.
You're beautiful brave woman! Anyone, who has not been a single parent who works outside of the home; really don't understand how stressful it really is. I'm proud of you and how far you have come!
Thank you so much for sharing your TRUTH. When my Mother died I was in a state of depression for 8 years. Looking at your video is a testament that "Jesus Christ" is able to bring you out. We both have the VICTORY!!!! Love your channel ❤ Bountiful blessings to you and your Handsome Boys...
P.S. my home looked like this for 8 years.
Struggling with depression since I lost my mother a year ago, it’s nice to read about life on the other side of grief that you can actually come out of the depression. Because when you are going through it it does feel like this is how I will feel forever. God bless you.
@@ruru764 You have my condolences. Give time, time, you will get through, don't rush, there is NO time limit on grief. My Mom passed in 1990 my depression was 8 years, because of Jesus Christ I came out VICTORIOUSLY!!!! There are still triggers, that's why I must PRAY. Be Blessed. If you want to text, need PRAYER I'm here.
I lost my mom a month ago and im a full time nursung student mother of three and i find myself in a similar situation with my house. Everyday i try to do a little bit more and it still doesnt feel good enough. Sometimes we can be our worse critics. So happy for you. Thank you for sharing ❤
im sorry for your loss baby prayers
@catherineamanda1034 I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong. I’ve been a nurse for just over a year, we need you out here. If I can do it, I know you can too!
I’m proud of you for posting this. No one can understand what the mental health struggles are unless they have had to fight through it. It’s hard being a mama and having two jobs at that! I remember seeing this at least a year ago and was so happy to see the before, during, and after from this cleanup. It was and still is very satisfying to see. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this. When I see my home starting to clutter, I just throw everything away. I don't care what it is. If it's on the floor I throw it in the garbage
Depression is so very hard to deal with , I suffered for many years with this debilitating illness when my children were young .. I could nt relate to anything and just felt so guilty that I could nt keep my home in order.. I really do feel your pain Faith xxx❤❤
So many single moms are over tired and they put all the effort in looking after the kids and maintaining a job for income... so unfortunately something is going to slack, and its always the state of our homes. Just remember as long as your kids are fed and happy and you are slowly making changes for the better - WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!! There will always be haters but majority are woman that stand with you in the same state. You are strong and beautiful!!!
I was depressed for years and didn't even realize it. I just thought I wasn't feeling well. Not only was I depressed, but I found out that my iron and vitamin D was nearly bottomed out! I slept all day and all night because I had no energy Things got hectic, but I made it out. Thank goodness you made it out, too.
Im late ! But As a person who has battled depression with the same symptoms I understand completely I’m so proud of you for finally taking a stand for yourself and your children! It’s not easy handling everything on your own with babies commend you for allowing us in your world and giving some people of piece of inspiration! ❤️ Love another mother , depresse and, black woman ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is reality for so many. There’s such an emphasis on posting the “perfect” life on social media. Real life is not the Pinterest perfect house posts or staged Insta posts. This video is REAL. You should be so proud of yourself! We all need to be real with one another and show kindness and grace. Having the courage to post this video showing your struggles displays such strength💜
I proud of you for pulling through ! I am glad that you didn’t delete your videos . Mental health is a real thing and you were brave to speak out and show a real place that you were in . So many people are struggling and a scared to speak about it or even ask for help. You are wonderful person and mother . We all have challenging seasons and you survived a season that could have taken you out !
You motivated me so much! Thank you. Should do videos also updating your audience about how are you doing. Keep it up ❤
I am cleaning with you after a period of being so overwhelmed. When you said, "God is not angry with me because I am depressed and feeling hopeless" it filled my heart. Depression can be so heavy and as Christians we feel guilty about how we feel. But God created us and he loves us. Thank you for sharing sister!
This is so relatable.... i am literally cleaning up my depression mess and listening to this video. I used to be so on top of things and organized until a severe bout of depression hit. I let it get to the point where i was embarrassed and didnt even recognize myself. Thank you for sharing i dont feel so alone anymore. ❤️
12 ish years ago I was a single Mother of 3 going through a divorce... I know and understand EVERYTHING you are saying here. I wish I could have known you and could have been there to help you out ❤ Hope you are doing well 😊 🙏
I actually just ran across this channel for the first time.
I’m proud of you! It’s not easy to pull yourself out of a state of depression 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Do not be discouraged. You encourage people that even in their darkest times there is hope and there is a light. Continue to do your videos. I also am a mother of twins. I was temporarily a single mom and I know how difficult it can be. Please be encouraged to know that you are actually inspiring and bringing hope to others. In fact, I must say that I like that your videos display a bigger challenge than most homes. I look at on UA-cam. God bless you. 🙏
I know this state of being all too well. It’s daily and persistent. You are very brave to share this. It needs to be seen. I live in complete isolation. Complete. So sometimes it feels like I am the only one suffering in this way. It is bittersweet to know that I am not “alone.”
Living in isolation is my struggle too. Amazing video. Blessings!
Your not alone. I live in total isolation .
Flybaby methods helped me to keep the worst areas under control. 10 or 15 minutes at a time. I can gather the physical and mental energy that long then do that at least three times a day. Knowing I can rest and then do 15 more minutes in a bit makes it less overwhelming. Good luck everyone here. ❤
Thats what I started doing. While I'm waiting for my coffee to brew, I clean up the kitchen. It definitely works alot better than looking at the mess all at once.
@@desireewest9136 always put my dishes in a sink full of hot,soapy water so that I never have to scrub hard,crusty stuff. So it’s amazing that I usually get everything washed in the three to four minutes while my leftovers are heating in the microwave!(for my next meal)🙌🏻
Girl forget the haters! You don’t know how much you’re helping us out with this video. We’re not alone! We’re in this together 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Single Mom here wanting to thank you!!! Been cleaning the whole time with your video playing!!! I needed every part of your video. Love your encouraging words & also loved the music!
I just stumbled on this video and never leave comments but… Thank you for showing your vulnerability. I can relate so much as a divorced woman with three boys. The awful relationship with my ex and other stresses put me in a dark place and my home reflected that. During Covid I got divorced, was working on teaching certification, teaching online, all while trying to keep my kids focused on online learning. I was a mess. I gained 40 lbs. I felt like I was neglecting my kids.Things are much more peaceful now. I have been organizing, purging items, cleaning. I’m working on the last frontier now- the basement of my 100 year old house. Your video gives my encouragement to finish cleaning out that dark, spider filled area today. On a higher level, I feel a connection that I’m not alone with my chaos and dark thoughts. Thank you.
I struggle to keep my house clean. I suffer from depression and anxiety disorder, and I don't have any family or anyone to help keep it clean, but I try to tidy, but sometimes it is hard
Yasssss sis. To the Yah be the glory. A season for everything. There is definitely a connection between mental state and cleanliness trust me. I clean daily do detach and refresh even if its hoovering the stairs and passage. Washing up and ironing is also therapeutic. Hhis too shall pass only one way left to go and thats up. Wave goodbye to those former things. A new you is birthed, stronger than ever. One day at a time babygirl. I love you and will pray for you. Big up yourself you did real good, and I know after you finished your thought process and mind was cleaner too❤❤
You did a fantastic job! I’m so proud of you. 🍾🎊🎉Postpartum depression can be tough. I’m glad you got the help you needed 🙏🏽❤️
As someone working to manage depression I can empathise with how hard it is up and down, 3 steps forward and 2 steps back or even 4 steps back sometimes. Even when we start to feel better and have to face the large hump of cleaning, fixing or rebuilding after a depressive episode, just to get to “start”. My thoughts are with you Faith.
Watching from the sunny Bahamas. Just wanted to say that your videos are the most realistic cleaning video’s I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Keep going and keep posting, take care.
Amen!!
I loved watching your house transform from home of a relatable struggling mom to equally relatable cozy home! I think we’ve all been there to some extent. Great start to my day thanks for the boost.
Thank you, today i got up after two weeks being sick, a week of migraine and being on my period and i was just stuck in a slump. Your vid helped me to get up and clean my house ❤
Hi
I have complex PTSD and even to get out of bed and start another day is massive, like u I struggle everyday with battling this. How people can be so rude and post horrible things to u I find so sad. U are doing an amazing job hunny so keep going x
Also such a brave thing to do posting your most vulnerable times. Providing support for others and hopefully educating those how are lucky enough to not understand how depression and metal health effects people x
U are showing ur babies that life isn't perfect and that is OK as well as a way to come thru it 😊
From someone who battled depression and anxiety as well… I’m proud of you! 🥰🥰💪🏾
You are a great Mother! This video is a blessing to many single moms who experience depression and burn out. This video was posted at the right divine time! Keep doing God’s work love.
Thank you for this video. I lost my finance unexpectantly and have just finished a three year deep depression. My house looks a lot like yours. Watching you clean up your house has given me the strength to start on my home. Thank you!
Hello, Faith! My name is Gabrielle, I have been silently watching and admiring your videos for about 2 yrs now. I think it's finally time I speak up.
Please know that you are not alone, not at all. I too, can relate to your words and the challenges you face. Life is hard. Parenting is hard. Single Parenting is even harder. I too am a single mother of 2 school age kiddos, been raising them alone since birth with the help of daycare and whenever a friend or relative can be available for support.
I understand how much we sacrifice and endure to keep things afloat.
Please know that I personally am on your side. I'm sorry for the negative comments that were said to you. We are so quick to judge another, but we are better when we support one another.
You're doing a wonderful job. I'm often blown away at how well you hold it down and especially at the amazing meals you cook! I aspire to be such a cook and wish I had the talent you do.
I too, have struggled with depression, anxiety, thoughts of hopelessness throughout my lifetime, I go through cycles of it and at times I feel overwhelmed.
Sometimes things even feel frightening. I can relate to how you feel.
Please remember you are beautiful and you are not alone.
Thank you for your courage to speak up on a subject so difficult to speak about. I too, often feel stuck, embarrassed and ashamed to openly admit the struggles I feel. Thank you for being braver than I.
Yes, I believe too that faith gets us through the darkest times. I believe that is how I'm still here and why I'm still going. Can't imagine anything else could be the cause. Surrendering to our Creator sometimes feels unnatural, but it's amazing the difference we feel and see in our lives, when we admit our hurt and turn it over to Him. Thanks also for sharing your faith! From one mother to another, know you are loved, not overlooked and appreciated. ❤
Sorry accidentally hit the thumbs down strolling through the comments.
Thank you for being so authentic and sharing your story. This video touched me on a deep level, because I remember being alone and taking care of my three kids (all under 5 yrs old) while my husband was deployed for a year, and my house looked just like what I am seeing in the beginning of your video. I remember the guilt I felt, but I now look back at the woman I was then and I know she deserved grace, and I know she deserved to be lifted up. We are all beautiful humans just trying to do life the best that we can. Keep your head up, mama, you are doing good!
Hey girl I was on UA-cam and lo and behold I didn’t even click this video of yours that’s depression clean with me. I watched it all the way through. I know exactly what you’ve been going through and how you feel we’ve all been there at some time or another or were still there. You did an excellent job and for all those haters that like to leave negative comments I would love to see what their house looks like. you’ve got babies you’re holding down a job it’s a lot on your shoulders without a partner. But I wanted to personally say you’re doing a great job hang in there don’t even think of the haters They don’t have a life so that’s why they have to hate. Thank you for sharing your video and I will watch the others. You’re awesome never let anybody tell you different
I have never had the idea to search one of these videos to help get me pumped up to tackle the simple cleaning that has been haunting me for what seems like weeks. My brain sees it as a huge impossible monster that will always overcome me no matter what I do. I Love how your house was reasonably messy and not just a few pieces of clothes here and there. This is how so many more people live than the average person thinks. And it's viewed with such shame and stigma. Thank you for being brave and kind enough to open your home to me. I love the tone and softens yet strength in your voice. For the first time in my whole 38 years, I cleaned and didn't feel completely alone or judged by the person accompanying me. The music and references to the Word of God were wonderful little surprises that told me I had found a nice little home for myself. You my friend, just changed my life. I truly mean that. You upped the game and may have just opened the huge door for me to be able to start taking my life back, in turn , bettering my children's lives, for which I could never thank you enough. God Bless you Sister in Christ, and may you have a wonderful and Blessed day with your babies ❤
I am a single woman that lives with family and I'm still struggling to keep up with just about anything due to depression. The fact that you're a single mom taking care of her children, working and still getting your place tidied up is just incredible to me! Honestly you're basically superwoman! May God bless you and keep you and your little ones❤
OMG....and I thought I was the only one struggling with severe depression.....Thank you for sharing 🥰
So many of our homes look just like this and many of us would never have the courage to share the journey- you dont know how much it helps to clean along with you in this. Thank you for being real and showing a lived in home and helping with motivation to clean. I work just one job and pregnant with my first I can’t imagine having two kids and two jobs.. you are a super woman for many reasons! God bless you and your family Ma ❤
Very proud of you ma’am. We all experience bad days. Take care of yourself. You’ll be ok! Check your comments you are loved ♾️❤. I lost my apartment in 2016 to spiritual attacks and schizophrenia. This video makes me feel better. I can say you’re wise to have made it this far. You don’t know how messy life can be with who you allow into your space. A messy home is better than a messy spirit. You have one mind, one peace, and one God. You are well. God bless you.
So very brave of you to post this video. I applaud you for taking such a risk. As a long time sufferer of depression I fully appreciate how quickly things can spiral down. It takes all we have just to wake up and tend to the high priorities like kids and work. No, you're not lazy, you're exhausted with existing. I know your joy when the black wave finally subsides and you finally feel a little alive again. A good day is having a proper shower. A fantastic day is having enough energy to clean the floors. Stay amazing - you're message is making a difference.
Thank you for sharing about your struggles with mental health. I'm struggling myself and fighting to come out on the positive side of it.
❤
❤❤🎉
You’re so brave to admit it. Please make sure to get the help that you need. You are so worth it ❤
Stay Encouraged! 💗🙏💗
@Lemons Limes thankk you so much for asking,.I'm definitely in a much better place with the help of therapy
This video was everything I needed to see right now. I am not a mom but I work two jobs, I'm a full time student, and trying to get a business off the ground. I know I am capable of more but it's been so hard for me to get out of bed again. I'm starting to call out of work, and I failed my last course because I stopped participating. I hate when you can feel yourself slipping, and you are fully aware of it but you can't stop it. One step at a time, and have grace for yourself even when it's hard to.
Honestly i love videos like this that actually show what some people homes look like this. We all have our days were we are too busy or too depressed to clean but videos like these help motivate other people to clean.
Thanks for sharing ur testimony. I'm a single mom of 3. Ages 18, 10, and 6. Depression is REAL. Your mental is everything. I'm glad you and the twins are doing well. Keep up the good work, Faith. In life, we're either going through something or coming out of something. Thanks for the inspirational message ❤
I love the realness. I feel worse about myself watching people clean perfect houses. We need to normalise being busy mothers, depressed, overworked etc. juggling everything in life is HARD. Love the videos.
I just came across your video today 7/22/2023 for the first time and I have got to get out more and stop laying around playing my puzzle games. I have gotten so relaxed and need to focus on self care more and letting go of old clothes, shoes, documents etc. It is time to get my life in order. I donot claim depression but I know that it is there. I donot like being around a lot of people. I love being all by myself. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you a lifetime of good health, love, peace and prosperity. 😊❤️🙏🏼💪
I’ve watched this video several times of the course since it’s been posted. I have bipolar disorder and my depression was severe. My house is in a state of disaster. Everyday waking up to a house like this is daunting. You’re video has helped my to start cleaning today. Thank you! ❤
The courage it took to share this video is so inspiring! You showed amazing perserverance getting your home back in order! Thank you for being vulnerable and real, there needs to be more of this on social media to continue normalizing mental health struggles and seeking help to work through them. I am so sorry people showed you judgement and hatred when you needed compassion and empathy.
Two powerful quotes that I strive to live by.........
"Don't be so busy pointing a finger at others that you fail to notice 3 of your fingers pointing back at you."
"The purpose of life is to help others. If you can't help them, at the very least don't hurt them."
To anyone struggling, know that you are loved, you are needed, you are important, you matter, and you are here for a reason. Sending lots love & light! ❤
Thank you for these encouraging words.
@@wisdom8264 you're welcome 😊
I have bipolar disorder, and regularly have experienced my place turn out very messy. Cleaning videos like this has helped me a lot when I could get back into cleaning again. Sad to hear about the problems you've had. Glad you feel better.❤ from Norway
I can really relate to you. Good on you for posting the video, and having the courage to get through your depression and challenge your thoughts to get into action and clean and tidy up your place!! It's so hard struggling by yourself with limited support from others. Well done for sharing your struggles and I hope God blesses you with enough work to provide for your family. There are so many thoughts and deep seated negative feelings we have about ourselves which hold us back. There's low self esteem, self judgement, other's misjudgements, lack of sleep and consequently zero energy to get through the day. There's hopelessness, and wondering how the hell you will get through the day, let alone the next week! There are always so many things which are impacting your mental health and causing a state of inaction. Yes - guilt and regret, grief and loneliness also cause a constant state of inaction and emotional paralysis. Thank God for someone like you, who admits your problems and helps others experiencing the same thing. ❤😊
I emphasize with you! some of us have been in this space at some point. Thank you for posting this! I hope you’re in a better place mentally ❤️.
