Aw, my sweet little Shannon. I know how hard it is for you to share your feelings. As you can see, you're not alone in how you feel at the moment. Lots of people have moments of sadness. It sounds like you're doing the right things to work through this. I hope anyone who's feeling this way will reach out and get help. Seeing a therapist is a very positive way to approach these issues if you can't work through them on your own. I can't wait to see you next month and give you a big hug! Always here for you. Love you so much!
Debbie, you remind me so much of my own mother when I watch Shannon's videos! My mom and I used to share the same connection when I was younger that you and Shannon seem to share today. I'm sure it hasn't been easy at times supporting your daughter through all her self discoveries vs. what you had in mind for her but you've chosen to stick by her anyways. I'm so envious because I wish my mother could have made the same decision as you did for Shannon; to only love her as your daughter not your gay daughter... nothing more, nothing less. My mom loves me still but our relationship has changed drastically and sadly due to my preference in love. Anyways, I read this comment and thought it incredibly sweet. #momgoals Much love from the LBC!
I love both of my daughters, no matter what. Nothing changes that for me. Maybe over time your mom will come around and see that you're the same great person you've always been.
Debbie Beveridge In short, our disagreement is due to different views in faith. So, it can be difficult to argue with another person's belief system but I'm yet to give up and she hasn't either. So you can see the dilemma. Ha! Thank you for the kind words and your reply. You must be such a terrific person because who knew you'd raise a UA-cam sensation right!? By the way, excellent dabbin' skills gotta say!
I like seeing how uncomfortable you get because it shows how real and genuine you are. I think we are on the same brain wave lately too because I needed to hear these things. You're always inspiring people (especially me lately), I'm happy that you're doing things to inspire yourself to go out there and be your best self. ILY
It's so hard to find genuine UA-camrs today and that's why I love you so much, Shannon! You're so genuine and your content is real and ugh. I just love you
Im like depressed 90% of the times. For some reason I can be having fun all day and I can just be laying in bed and just thinking and get pretty sad. I feel like I'm always missing or afraid of something.
Hi both of you! Um.. I have a channel where I'm going to be talking about depression and mental illness in general. If that's something you think would be helpful, try checking it out. :)
Shayeday Call a suicide hotline, they will hook you up with basically free counselors and almost free medication, if the depression stems from chemical imbalances in your brain. Sometimes we need a break, so getting professional help is worth it. Being depressed 90% of the time is no way to live. I believe in all of you. It's hard to start the healing process, but it's worth it. ♥️♥️ sending you all love! You are NOT alone. And you are worth the time & effort to love your own self !
If you are a teen and you are going through a tough time, for whatever reason, another hotline is Teenline (you may have heard of it on Dance Moms). It's a teen to teen crisis hotline... That means you aren't talking to an adult, you're talking to a teen just like yourself! They take calls, texts, or emails. You can call them at 310-855-4673 from 6pm-10pm PST. You can text "TEEN" to 839863 from 6pm-9pm PST. You can send them an email through teenlineonline.org/talk-now/.
Favorite part of the whole video is when she says "And I'm not going to cry" *sticks tongue out* "stop it" one of the many reasons why she's sooo cute.
be sad, cry, scream and than get up, stand up strong and move on. Feelings don't go away we just decide how to live our day. Being sad just let us know you are human and kind.
Shan, I don't admire you because I think you're perfect. I admire you because I see your flaws and they look like mine. I feel what you're going through, and it will get better. I'm saying it for both of us :) Thanks for the video, and lots of love.
LucindaRoseMusic this burst my dam lol I'm bawling. What beautiful words. So perfect. To be admired for being real, not perfect and measuring up to people's ideas of perfection. This video and comments here are worth more than many sessions of paid therapy for me. Thank. You. Xo
Leanne, thank YOU. I'm so happy that you felt moved enough by the video and comments as to reply to me, especially because it led me to your music, which is beautiful, btw
LucindaRoseMusic thank you so much! There aren't many words that could tell you how much that comment means to me. I am really happy that you saw my video about my story and understood how I felt. I couldn't be happier ❤
shannon i love you so much. you are such an amazing role model and a great person to look up to. if you're ever sad we're all here for you, whether you want to talk it or not thousands of people have your back. we all love you and want you to be happy always, i hope you feel the happiness and feelings you want very soon. I LOVE YOU💜💜
This is amongst my favorite videos, and not just of yours, in general. I love your attitude about life and how real you are. You can tell you really care about people because you had to go out of your comfort zone to make it just so that it can maybe help just one person, and I know that it did. I don't usually leave comments on videos, but I had to for this one :)
nowthisisliving I can not say how glad and grateful I am to have found this channel in youtube .. the things about which you speak no matter whether love or bad days .. is damn again true .. what I love but the most things You look at her and how you deal with it is really awe-inspiring .. many thanks to you shan you make me a better man in every regard ( sry for my bad English ) hugs from Germany 🇩🇪
As a psychology student I HIGHLY encourage everyone to see a therapist or counselor at least once! Even if you feel like there's nothing wrong :) Mental health should have preventative measures just like physical health! So be sure to get your regular check ups! Much love NTIL fam ❤️
i'm only 16 and i've been in and out of hospital for the past 2 years for overdoses and various mental health related things and i've finally learnt that feeling this way is nothing to be ashamed of. i've been kicked out of my dad's house for my actions and never been able to get the help i need, but i'm finally getting there. i talk about how i feel. i'm not proud of what i've done to get to the point of finally getting the right help, but i'm definitely not ashamed of the way i feel. there's such a stigma around mental health that forces a lot of people to keep it inside, and not talk about how they feel, meaning they never get the right help. i wish everyone could see how important talking is, and forget the stigma behind mental health, because it's not all about being told you're beautiful and loved; as true as it is, it doesn't stop you being sad. i hope you're doing good shan, and get the help you need. you talking about this and breaking the stigma could help so many others do the same, so thank you.
You are very mature for your age! I'm so proud of you for getting help and having the strength to talk about the things you're feeling. I wish you the best of luck with your journey!
ive been sick for about a year 1/2 and ive always had anxiety and depression and its only gotten worse from trying to cope with everything, i know what its like to be afraid of people knowing how bad things are in your head and it doesnt help that i have no secrets anymore because drs need to know everything. but ive started to realize that im not alone and its normal for people to be in invisible pain so im very happy for you that you made it to this point
I felt that way a couple months ago and I started watching your vidoes where u talked about why every person is worth to be loved and so on.... and I started feeling better with everyday :) maybe now is the time u need some of ur friends who give u reasons why u shouldn't be sad because u are so amazing ... not kidding u are seriously the most amazing person I've ever met.... thank u for that shannon.. u helped me out of my low... and showed me a way to enjoy life again :)
to stay happy i watch your videos and it's working! Thank you so much , stay strong and reminds you that you're a fucking great model for many people! we will always support you love u so muuuuch
I'm really supportive of Shannon & Cammie for being mature enough to find themselves but I also am not really fond of finding out Cammie is in another relationship already.. I adore her but weren't they supposed to both work on themselves as individuals? I see Shannon doing that and I think Cammie is to an extent but they dated such a long time, im just surprised she moved on so quickly and makes me disappointed and I can't imagine what Shannon is feeling bc there's no way she doesn't know about it.
the thing is that we only got to see a fraction of their lives. we don't know all the details, we only saw what they wanted to share with us. I'm not saying they hid something but simply that we aren't in a position where we can judge them. whatever happened with their relationship is between them and whatever they do now is their choice.
I'm a 24 y/o social worker, working with vulnerable children, teenagers and young people. One day this was the question I posed to one of the young people I worked with: "If someone else told you this or showed you this letter you've written/video you've made, what would you tell them? What would your advice be? What words would you have for them?" It's one of the most basic questions that comes up in so many conversations in my professional world... and yet it took me a good few years before I realised I never actually applied it to myself. It was a valid questions for all my clients, just not for me. I couldn't hold myself to the same standard, I needed to always 'do better' or be 'less awkward/less bad', while I'd have told anyone else in the same situation that they were doing great. So now I try to be conscious of that question and recognise not only what I see through the expectation of my eyes, but also what I'd see if I was a person on the outside, unaware of my anxiety-ridden thought process. It's deceivingly easy to be one's own worst critic. I see that sometimes watching your videos. I recognise the 'I wish she could see it through our eyes' feeling in my chest. We see some awkwardness or insecurity or anxiousness and think 'hey, that's okay. We get that too'. We see content we're drawn too and meaningful conversations that make us think. We see hilarious moments and challenges that make the day a bit lighter. And we hope you see that too. It's exactly like you say: it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to not be sure :)
Nina L. What a great great question to ask yourself when paralysed with terror about putting yourself out there!!! Which I am! Thank you so much this might change my life hehe. Xo
Nina L. This was really powerful and changed my perspective a lot on my current situation. I tend to make excuses for different unhealthy people in my life. I never really thought about how I would tell someone I cared about to act if they were me but it just made me realize I should prioritize myself& care enough to give myself my best chance at happiness and break toxic patterns. The same way I would want someone I care about to do for themselves.
I've noticed the "thinking of yourself worse then of other people"-thing alot. Some time ago, we did a quiz in school. there were statements about feelings and we had to rate at first how much they apply to us, and then how much they apply to the person we were paired up with. there was a question about how confident we are and I noticed, that while rating ourselves very low, we all rated our partner high and they did the exact same thing. It's so easy to think that other people are perfect and sometimes we just need to be reminded, that, like us, they too are just people with their flaws.
Honestly, therapists are the best supporters during most times. I've had a therapist since I was 7 and they take the time to understand your feelings even if it takes a long time. I have never opened up to anyone as much as I have to my therapist. I have recently stopped going because I've been so much happier although I do miss them. I know because of her i have been improving my life and working on expressing my feelings. I hope you can find all of the happiness in the world💟
You're a ray of fucking sunshine and your channel has legit been my saving grace during times when I felt like I was trying to dodge life's turds. You're so genuine and beautiful inside and out. I can't imagine how hard it was to make this vid and to be so vulnerable. You're doing good kid. Stay sparkly and shiny. Love you.
So are you saying you're depressed without putting that harsh label on it? Or just low, as i'm pretty sure there's a difference. Either way i'm happy you're doing what is best for you, even if you need a break it's cool. Take all the time you need, your health is what's most important. Happy Valentines Day 💕
nowthisisliving keep your head I'm going through the same I don't like talking about my feelings either and thank you for sharing this love you from Ireland always supporting you I'm doing things congratulations on making the video xxxx this really helped me
nowthisisliving okay so i know what you feel like im not good at sharing my feelings like to day is valentines day (happy valentines day shannon ) but anyways today is valentines day and to day is a really hard day because last year i went into foster care custody and im already in depression but im horrible at telling people my feelings but im awesome at lying and telling people im fine but im not really this video helped me so much thank you and i hope u have inner happiness and ilysm 😔👭💛
+loveisloveandlawcantchangeus me n 1 of my ex GFs had this saying, cause I put on the happy mask to, " if says im fine ur probably farthest from fine" fine is one of those backwards words if u say it generally u don't mean it
Hi. I have a channel where I'm going to be talking about depression and anxiety and mental illness in general. If you'd like to check it out... I hope it'll be helpful.
Your honesty is refreshing! In this day and age where "I'm too cool for feelings, and I don't care about anything" is trendy, it's nice to hear the truth from someone. I've always been told I'm too emotional, and that I need to not care so much, but honestly.. I care about people, and that has now lead me to find people who care equally as much. Expressing your feelings should never be a bad thing, and I'm happy that you decided to bring this up.
This video is really inspirational... my head has been a little all over the place lately, but this really helps me to push trough. It is very brave to post this thank you Shan! We love and support you I hope you start feeling even more better soon! ❤
This video actually made me cry. I'm so happy to have someone like you to look up to. I've felt this way and it's hard to really tell anyone about it. It's even hard for me to tell the people that are close to me because not everyone understands and I feel I have no reason to be sad or anything. So the fact that you can make this video and just open up, and still have such a positive attitude towards it. It's just amazing. You're amazing and thank you for doing what you do.
I think that it's such an important message to embrace and own your sadness. I feel like times where I have felt down for whatever reason or no reason at all, it wasn't until I truly acknowledged it and reflected on it that I was able to take a step towards turning the page on it. Thank you for your honesty and genuineness, sending lots of love your way 💞
Just remember that you are loved and we appreciate you and everything you do and all the time and effort you put into your videos!! You are incredible, no matter what you do! Never chance for the sake of anybody, we will always support and love you ♡ Thanks for everything!!
Shannon, you are soooo genuine! I have no idea what it's like to put yourself out to the world, but I completely understand what you're going through. Never apologize for being you! Genuine people, on social media and generally in life, are so hard to come by. You're doing a great job with your channel!
What a beautiful woman.. You're so honest and you're showing everyone that it's normal to have lows sometimes and that's very brave of u. Thank u for being you. We love u!
I really started tearing up, I won't pretend to understand what you are going through but I really do see the pain... and that's ok. I think you're so strong even when you feel at weak point. I know so many people sit here and admire you and look up to you and thank you but I really from the very bottom of my heart appreciate you for this right here. It made me feel like I really truly knew you and thank you, so happy I've been following you for so long. Yes I use to love watching you and cam but now I know that you are about to do things so much better for yourself, and you are beyond amazing and I hope the close people in your life ensure that you feel that way.
i'm so glad this video cheered me up a little because i've been feeling sad for a while now and its for no apparent reason and glad that i'm not the only one right now who is feeling this way, even though its common.
yep I know this feeling I've been through it too, and...I never told anyone because I always been in a good situation, I just had nothing to complain but I was feeling sad. And I noticed in this part of my life, I didn't have a goal, a purpose to live... I've been sad until I found out the cinema was my thing. Today I'm working in the cinema industry and I'm feeling good.
I was watching this video last night and my 9 year old niece is listening in. She turns to me and says 'I love how inspirational this girl is when she talks'. My thoughts exactly 👌💎💎💎💎
I just came back to this video after over a year . And I genuinely think you're the most amazing person ever. I love that you can talk about everything , and I'm so glad you're open about it . Because many people have similar problems and it might actually make them feel better , to know that they're not alone . Thank you for everything you've done for us Shan!
For the past few months I've been dealing with almost everything you spoke up about. And I've been contemplating seeing a therapist as well. I'm sure this video was not easy to make but I really wanted to say thank you for making it anyways. It made me feel a little more sane and validated that these feelings were not just in my head. I was someone who needed this. ❤
appreciate you Shan- been totally feeling this way the past year and especially in recent months as I'm finishing up college soon. tons of changes, it's very hard adapting and making these decisions. all the best to you, I'm sure this is all temporary.
Shannon, I'm a clinician in the mental health field and what you're experiencing is completely normal. As humans you go through these high and lows (like a roller coaster) and sometimes the lows have no meaning it's just something your mind and body are experiencing at the time- and that's ok. Sometimes a human needs to cry in order to move forward or like you said doing things you enjoy. A lot of time my clients who are experiencing what you are find it beneficial to be with yourself for a bit and learn about what you're feeling. You may be on a growth period or you may be finding out some things you didn't know about yourself. We as humans are always evolving, learning, and growing from ourselves if this makes sense. There's nothing wrong with you and it's normal to feel sad even when things seems to be going so well on a day to day basis. You've got a good hold on this thing called life and like it said before it's a roller coaster so hang on and keep going because it can be a beautiful ride.
Thank you for this. It's easy to tell other that it's okay to be sad and that it's a part of life and that mental health is just as important as physical health and when something is wrong it should never be ignored, but it turns really hard to apply that advice to yourself. This really helped me, because I can admit to myself that I'm sad but I can rarely admit it to my friends and even less my family, so for you to make it public to everyone in order to reach out and spread a positive message about mental health means a lot. Thank you Shannon, I wish you the best
Thanks thanks thanks for this, omg. This video came at the perfect time. Watching your videos (from Spain!) is my own therapy! I always feel in peace after listening to your deep thoughts and reflections, and I love the beautiful way you've found to express them... the world is not such a scary place thanks to people like you ❤
It really helps to be grateful of at least one thing at the end of the day and write it down. It helped me out of a sad and negative time the past couple of years.
Thank you for posting this video!!! It didn't go unnoticed. I've been depressed & have anxiety almost EVERY DAY. So I appreciate videos like this & I know it's hard to talk about it. I see a therapist & take meds, but it's pretty bad. I'm not suicidal but have had those thoughts. I'm doing better than I was a couple years ago, but it's HARD work. Thank you again for deciding to post this 🖤
Thank you so much for being real. Honestly, you have no idea how much it helps❤ never beat yourself up for being sad when there's no visible reason. Have compassion for yourself we love you so so much
I'm very glad I found this video. When I turned 17 is whenever I started feeling sad for no reason. It's stuff that I don't have to worry about that I do. And it started as just being stressed and sad over college and my senior year in high school. I kinda felt like my life was over. But now it's just turned into sadness for no reason. And I think that's what is most frustrating. Not knowing what is wrong so you can fix it. Thank you for making this. Makes me feel a little normal again.
I feel you. I have a good life, I have good grades, a good family, friends but I don't know, something just feels empty. I feel like I need challenge, I need to get out of my comfort zone, I need to do something else. I don't know, I don't like being sad, I don't like feeling that helpless but truth is, that's how I feel. And I hate talking about my feelings so I don't even have the guts to ask to go see a therapist.............ugh
I do not know how I can unconditionally love someone that I am the least I exchanged a word, someone I have never seen personally and who does not have the same nationality as me, but it does not matter. I know that I love both and see what is happy and find It's truly so rewarding. Thank you for making my days just with a Snapchat. You're part of my smile and my well-being.
Props to you for being able to put ur feelings out there like that.. but also, thank you for continuing to be real and genuine. No shame in anything you talked about or feel. I hope things look up for you and your inner self finds happiness. You deserve it!
Omg thank you Shannon !!! I truly needed this, so much inspiration out of one amazing soul. I guess I needed someone to tell me it was okay to be sad at times, that I shouldn't hide it , I should acknowledge the fact that I am going through a tough time because as being human and 17 I am not alone. Thank you for the kind words. Love you xx
Shannon you are an inspiration... Bringing light to mental health care is very commendable. As someone who has struggled greatly withy mental health issues seeing this video brings me a sense of peace and belonging as clearly it is not as taboo as it once was. THANK YOU, from the very bottom of my heart... THANK YOU, THANK you! Much love from your Canadian friend!🇨🇦💕 xo
Thank you Shannon, you're the reason I'm doing what I have to do everyday. I've been depressed and visited the counsellor. There's none counsellor in my hometown, so I have to make an appointment and travel to see her every once in a while. Then, I thought to myself that I'd seek another option to treat myself to feel better. I don't have many friends where I'm living, and there're so much pressure from work and my family, but you know what? watching amazing vids from awesoem people like you, Rose+Rosie, and other UA-camrs really helps me getting through each week!
Aw, my sweet little Shannon. I know how hard it is for you to share your feelings. As you can see, you're not alone in how you feel at the moment. Lots of people have moments of sadness. It sounds like you're doing the right things to work through this. I hope anyone who's feeling this way will reach out and get help.

okay this made me cry haha and right before work
I love both of my daughters, no matter what. Nothing changes that for me. Maybe over time your mom will come around and see that you're the same great person you've always been.
That last message was for you Kristina.

I like seeing how uncomfortable you get because it shows how real and genuine you are. I think we are on the same brain wave lately too because I needed to hear these things. You're always inspiring people (especially me lately), I'm happy that you're doing things to inspire yourself to go out there and be your best self. ILY

It's exhausting, being sad and not knowing why.
Shan, I don't admire you because I think you're perfect. I admire you because I see your flaws and they look like mine. I feel what you're going through, and it will get better. I'm saying it for both of us :) Thanks for the video, and lots of love.

"Feelings ew stop." Should make that into a tee or a hat.
i'm only 16 and i've been in and out of hospital for the past 2 years for overdoses and various mental health related things and i've finally learnt that feeling this way is nothing to be ashamed of. i've been kicked out of my dad's house for my actions and never been able to get the help i need, but i'm finally getting there. i talk about how i feel. i'm not proud of what i've done to get to the point of finally getting the right help, but i'm definitely not ashamed of the way i feel. there's such a stigma around mental health that forces a lot of people to keep it inside, and not talk about how they feel, meaning they never get the right help. i wish everyone could see how important talking is, and forget the stigma behind mental health, because it's not all about being told you're beautiful and loved; as true as it is, it doesn't stop you being sad. i hope you're doing good shan, and get the help you need. you talking about this and breaking the stigma could help so many others do the same, so thank you.
You are very mature for your age! I'm so proud of you for getting help and having the strength to talk about the things you're feeling. I wish you the best of luck with your journey!
ive been sick for about a year 1/2 and ive always had anxiety and depression and its only gotten worse from trying to cope with everything, i know what its like to be afraid of people knowing how bad things are in your head and it doesnt help that i have no secrets anymore because drs need to know everything. but ive started to realize that im not alone and its normal for people to be in invisible pain so im very happy for you that you made it to this point
I felt that way a couple months ago and I started watching your vidoes where u talked about why every person is worth to be loved and so on.... and I started feeling better with everyday :) maybe now is the time u need some of ur friends who give u reasons why u shouldn't be sad because u are so amazing ... not kidding u are seriously the most amazing person I've ever met.... thank u for that shannon.. u helped me out of my low... and showed me a way to enjoy life again :)
*looks at title*
me: Girl sammmeeee!

I'm really supportive of Shannon & Cammie for being mature enough to find themselves but I also am not really fond of finding out Cammie is in another relationship already.. I adore her but weren't they supposed to both work on themselves as individuals? I see Shannon doing that and I think Cammie is to an extent but they dated such a long time, im just surprised she moved on so quickly and makes me disappointed and I can't imagine what Shannon is feeling bc there's no way she doesn't know about it.
Meggs M yeah that had to sting for shan
Wasn't Shannon dating Fletcher?
Meggs M wait timeout this is so hypocritical considering shannon is with fletcher....
the thing is that we only got to see a fraction of their lives. we don't know all the details, we only saw what they wanted to share with us. I'm not saying they hid something but simply that we aren't in a position where we can judge them. whatever happened with their relationship is between them and whatever they do now is their choice.
If that was the case, do you think this kind of comments help her in any way?
sad moment when i get the notification but am walking across manhattan and cant watch.. 😭 happy v-day fellow gays!

I'm a 24 y/o social worker, working with vulnerable children, teenagers and young people. One day this was the question I posed to one of the young people I worked with:
"If someone else told you this or showed you this letter you've written/video you've made, what would you tell them? What would your advice be? What words would you have for them?"
It's one of the most basic questions that comes up in so many conversations in my professional world... and yet it took me a good few years before I realised I never actually applied it to myself. It was a valid questions for all my clients, just not for me. I couldn't hold myself to the same standard, I needed to always 'do better' or be 'less awkward/less bad', while I'd have told anyone else in the same situation that they were doing great. So now I try to be conscious of that question and recognise not only what I see through the expectation of my eyes, but also what I'd see if I was a person on the outside, unaware of my anxiety-ridden thought process. It's deceivingly easy to be one's own worst critic.
I see that sometimes watching your videos. I recognise the 'I wish she could see it through our eyes' feeling in my chest. We see some awkwardness or insecurity or anxiousness and think 'hey, that's okay. We get that too'. We see content we're drawn too and meaningful conversations that make us think. We see hilarious moments and challenges that make the day a bit lighter. And we hope you see that too.
It's exactly like you say: it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to not be sure :)
Nina L. ^^^Love my fellow social workers
Nina L. What a great great question to ask yourself when paralysed with terror about putting yourself out there!!! Which I am! Thank you so much this might change my life hehe. Xo
Nina L. This was really powerful and changed my perspective a lot on my current situation. I tend to make excuses for different unhealthy people in my life. I never really thought about how I would tell someone I cared about to act if they were me but it just made me realize I should prioritize myself& care enough to give myself my best chance at happiness and break toxic patterns. The same way I would want someone I care about to do for themselves.
I've noticed the "thinking of yourself worse then of other people"-thing alot.
Some time ago, we did a quiz in school. there were statements about feelings and we had to rate at first how much they apply to us, and then how much they apply to the person we were paired up with.
there was a question about how confident we are and I noticed, that while rating ourselves very low, we all rated our partner high and they did the exact same thing.
It's so easy to think that other people are perfect and sometimes we just need to be reminded, that, like us, they too are just people with their flaws.
Notification Squad where you at? :)
Jess Gottlieb ayeeee

Honestly, therapists are the best supporters during most times. I've had a therapist since I was 7 and they take the time to understand your feelings even if it takes a long time. I have never opened up to anyone as much as I have to my therapist. I have recently stopped going because I've been so much happier although I do miss them. I know because of her i have been improving my life and working on expressing my feelings. I hope you can find all of the happiness in the world💟
Sings *feelings don't wanna talk about em *
Me :24/7 😅
I needed to hear this. Thanks shan. You da bomb girl.
I normally feel sad on Valentines day but today that changed...
I got confident enough to ask my crush out
Chloe Mudie

Chloe Mudie OMG WHAt hAPPENED??!?!?

KJ Catacutan Thanks for the support
AH GOOD LUCK OMG I HOPE IT GOES WELL
You're a ray of fucking sunshine and your channel has legit been my saving grace during times when I felt like I was trying to dodge life's turds. You're so genuine and beautiful inside and out. I can't imagine how hard it was to make this vid and to be so vulnerable. You're doing good kid. Stay sparkly and shiny. Love you.
Oh my gosh, literally I feel like you have telepathy and you know exactly how I'm feeling.
You're so pure. And this is why people like you so much. You're awesome
I couldn't agree more. Feelings just are hard and sometimes they really get the best of us. Hope you get out of that funk. Good luck Shannon!
This was exactly what I needed. I genuinely feel a little better. It's nice to remember that everyone goes through it and you're not alone. Thanks!
So are you saying you're depressed without putting that harsh label on it? Or just low, as i'm pretty sure there's a difference. Either way i'm happy you're doing what is best for you, even if you need a break it's cool. Take all the time you need, your health is what's most important.
Happy Valentines Day 💕
I don't want to put a label on it, the word sad feels right to me! Happy Valentines day to you as well :)
nowthisisliving keep your head I'm going through the same I don't like talking about my feelings either and thank you for sharing this love you from Ireland always supporting you I'm doing things congratulations on making the video xxxx this really helped me
nowthisisliving okay so i know what you feel like im not good at sharing my feelings like to day is valentines day (happy valentines day shannon ) but anyways today is valentines day and to day is a really hard day because last year i went into foster care custody and im already in depression but im horrible at telling people my feelings but im awesome at lying and telling people im fine but im not really this video helped me so much thank you and i hope u have inner happiness and ilysm 😔👭💛
+loveisloveandlawcantchangeus me n 1 of my ex GFs had this saying, cause I put on the happy mask to, "
if says im fine ur probably farthest from fine" fine is one of those backwards words if u say it generally u don't mean it
Hi. I have a channel where I'm going to be talking about depression and anxiety and mental illness in general. If you'd like to check it out... I hope it'll be helpful.
Your honesty is refreshing! In this day and age where "I'm too cool for feelings, and I don't care about anything" is trendy, it's nice to hear the truth from someone. I've always been told I'm too emotional, and that I need to not care so much, but honestly.. I care about people, and that has now lead me to find people who care equally as much. Expressing your feelings should never be a bad thing, and I'm happy that you decided to bring this up.
This video is really inspirational... my head has been a little all over the place lately, but this really helps me to push trough. It is very brave to post this thank you Shan! We love and support you I hope you start feeling even more better soon! ❤
It's ok to cry and to be sad it happens to everyone❤️❤️❤️❤️
i really do like this girl
This video actually made me cry. I'm so happy to have someone like you to look up to. I've felt this way and it's hard to really tell anyone about it. It's even hard for me to tell the people that are close to me because not everyone understands and I feel I have no reason to be sad or anything. So the fact that you can make this video and just open up, and still have such a positive attitude towards it. It's just amazing. You're amazing and thank you for doing what you do.
*gives internet hug* please dont feel sad, WE LOVE YOU
hope you soon find hapiness not in just in someone but in yourself
You are amazing Shannon, your soul is so pure and beautiful. Proud of you and thanks for everything. I love you so much
Now I'm crying, this hit me so much. Love you Shann!
I think that it's such an important message to embrace and own your sadness. I feel like times where I have felt down for whatever reason or no reason at all, it wasn't until I truly acknowledged it and reflected on it that I was able to take a step towards turning the page on it. Thank you for your honesty and genuineness, sending lots of love your way 💞
Just remember that you are loved and we appreciate you and everything you do and all the time and effort you put into your videos!! You are incredible, no matter what you do! Never chance for the sake of anybody, we will always support and love you ♡ Thanks for everything!!
Shannon, you are soooo genuine! I have no idea what it's like to put yourself out to the world, but I completely understand what you're going through. Never apologize for being you! Genuine people, on social media and generally in life, are so hard to come by. You're doing a great job with your channel!
I love you way soooo much! I'm going to watch this video every single morning when it's difficult for me to wake up! Be strong Shan ❤
Shannon is the most effortlessly beautiful person (Inside and out) I've ever seen, especially on youtube.
we are always here for you Shan we love you I hope you feel better hun 💕
What a beautiful woman.. You're so honest and you're showing everyone that it's normal to have lows sometimes and that's very brave of u. Thank u for being you. We love u!
you're the cutest thing ever. those few seconds after you said "I'm not gonna cry" omg 😍❤
I really started tearing up, I won't pretend to understand what you are going through but I really do see the pain... and that's ok. I think you're so strong even when you feel at weak point. I know so many people sit here and admire you and look up to you and thank you but I really from the very bottom of my heart appreciate you for this right here. It made me feel like I really truly knew you and thank you, so happy I've been following you for so long. Yes I use to love watching you and cam but now I know that you are about to do things so much better for yourself, and you are beyond amazing and I hope the close people in your life ensure that you feel that way.
valentins day...damn-hard-day for everyone who has lost hers/his 'valentin' .
all these memories. it hurts, but we move on...its just another day ;-)
i'm so glad this video cheered me up a little because i've been feeling sad for a while now and its for no apparent reason and glad that i'm not the only one right now who is feeling this way, even though its common.
yep I know this feeling I've been through it too, and...I never told anyone because I always been in a good situation, I just had nothing to complain but I was feeling sad.
And I noticed in this part of my life, I didn't have a goal, a purpose to live... I've been sad until I found out the cinema was my thing. Today I'm working in the cinema industry and I'm feeling good.
I was watching this video last night and my 9 year old niece is listening in. She turns to me and says 'I love how inspirational this girl is when she talks'. My thoughts exactly 👌💎💎💎💎
Sharon Young 😢👍👍
we all love you shannon
I just came back to this video after over a year . And I genuinely think you're the most amazing person ever. I love that you can talk about everything , and I'm so glad you're open about it . Because many people have similar problems and it might actually make them feel better , to know that they're not alone . Thank you for everything you've done for us Shan!
Why is she soooooo fucking cute :/
"somebody needed to hear this"
you couldn't be more right, thank you!
This is y I love Pisces
For the past few months I've been dealing with almost everything you spoke up about. And I've been contemplating seeing a therapist as well. I'm sure this video was not easy to make but I really wanted to say thank you for making it anyways. It made me feel a little more sane and validated that these feelings were not just in my head. I was someone who needed this. ❤
💎i'm proud of you for addressing this.
appreciate you Shan- been totally feeling this way the past year and especially in recent months as I'm finishing up college soon. tons of changes, it's very hard adapting and making these decisions. all the best to you, I'm sure this is all temporary.
Shannon, I'm a clinician in the mental health field and what you're experiencing is completely normal. As humans you go through these high and lows (like a roller coaster) and sometimes the lows have no meaning it's just something your mind and body are experiencing at the time- and that's ok. Sometimes a human needs to cry in order to move forward or like you said doing things you enjoy. A lot of time my clients who are experiencing what you are find it beneficial to be with yourself for a bit and learn about what you're feeling. You may be on a growth period or you may be finding out some things you didn't know about yourself. We as humans are always evolving, learning, and growing from ourselves if this makes sense. There's nothing wrong with you and it's normal to feel sad even when things seems to be going so well on a day to day basis. You've got a good hold on this thing called life and like it said before it's a roller coaster so hang on and keep going because it can be a beautiful ride.
one of the most real youtubers out there & she sends across a great message im in love
So happy to see your face again yay, not so happy about the title :(
Hey Chloe!!! Of course, Shannon literally my favourite human :)
Thank you for this. It's easy to tell other that it's okay to be sad and that it's a part of life and that mental health is just as important as physical health and when something is wrong it should never be ignored, but it turns really hard to apply that advice to yourself. This really helped me, because I can admit to myself that I'm sad but I can rarely admit it to my friends and even less my family, so for you to make it public to everyone in order to reach out and spread a positive message about mental health means a lot. Thank you Shannon, I wish you the best
just saying hi to the notification gang , we awesome people
hi how ya doin
I feel exactly the same. You're not alone. Thank you girl for making me feel like im not the only one feeling like this.
Great vid as always. Besides that, im glad you're doing well with Fletcher. I want you to be happy :)
Thanks thanks thanks for this, omg. This video came at the perfect time. Watching your videos (from Spain!) is my own therapy! I always feel in peace after listening to your deep thoughts and reflections, and I love the beautiful way you've found to express them... the world is not such a scary place thanks to people like you ❤
can you stop giving me more reasons to love you?!
It really helps to be grateful of at least one thing at the end of the day and write it down. It helped me out of a sad and negative time the past couple of years.
The sad thing about this is that we all know why you' feel so sad😔💔
Kath Santana because of cammie
Kath Santana Because of life.
If that was the case, do you think this kind of comments help her in any way?
Its amazing how you make people feel strong!!! even thought i see sadness, its in your eyes, it's crystal clear
I just wanted to say... your hair is shamazing! Just a little confidence boost on this video because no one wants you to be sad ❤️
Thank you for posting this video!!! It didn't go unnoticed. I've been depressed & have anxiety almost EVERY DAY. So I appreciate videos like this & I know it's hard to talk about it. I see a therapist & take meds, but it's pretty bad. I'm not suicidal but have had those thoughts. I'm doing better than I was a couple years ago, but it's HARD work. Thank you again for deciding to post this 🖤
you are seriously the most amazing person ever, I love you so much. we're all here for you ❤
Thank you so much for being real. Honestly, you have no idea how much it helps❤ never beat yourself up for being sad when there's no visible reason. Have compassion for yourself we love you so so much
What an amazing down to earth video Shan i'm so proud of you :))
I'm very glad I found this video. When I turned 17 is whenever I started feeling sad for no reason. It's stuff that I don't have to worry about that I do. And it started as just being stressed and sad over college and my senior year in high school. I kinda felt like my life was over. But now it's just turned into sadness for no reason. And I think that's what is most frustrating. Not knowing what is wrong so you can fix it. Thank you for making this. Makes me feel a little normal again.
I feel you. I have a good life, I have good grades, a good family, friends but I don't know, something just feels empty. I feel like I need challenge, I need to get out of my comfort zone, I need to do something else. I don't know, I don't like being sad, I don't like feeling that helpless but truth is, that's how I feel. And I hate talking about my feelings so I don't even have the guts to ask to go see a therapist.............ugh
Manon Wanders same.
I do not know how I can unconditionally love someone that I am the least I exchanged a word, someone I have never seen personally and who does not have the same nationality as me, but it does not matter. I know that I love both and see what is happy and find It's truly so rewarding. Thank you for making my days just with a Snapchat. You're part of my smile and my well-being.
Whenever your sad for no reason you're definitely missing someone.
Props to you for being able to put ur feelings out there like that.. but also, thank you for continuing to be real and genuine. No shame in anything you talked about or feel. I hope things look up for you and your inner self finds happiness. You deserve it!
Hugs to you Shannon❤️
Omg thank you Shannon !!! I truly needed this, so much inspiration out of one amazing soul. I guess I needed someone to tell me it was okay to be sad at times, that I shouldn't hide it , I should acknowledge the fact that I am going through a tough time because as being human and 17 I am not alone. Thank you for the kind words. Love you xx
Awwww she's so adorable
Shannon you are an inspiration... Bringing light to mental health care is very commendable. As someone who has struggled greatly withy mental health issues seeing this video brings me a sense of peace and belonging as clearly it is not as taboo as it once was. THANK YOU, from the very bottom of my heart... THANK YOU, THANK you! Much love from your Canadian friend!🇨🇦💕 xo
I needed to hear this right now
Thank you Shannon, you're the reason I'm doing what I have to do everyday. I've been depressed and visited the counsellor. There's none counsellor in my hometown, so I have to make an appointment and travel to see her every once in a while. Then, I thought to myself that I'd seek another option to treat myself to feel better. I don't have many friends where I'm living, and there're so much pressure from work and my family, but you know what? watching amazing vids from awesoem people like you, Rose+Rosie, and other UA-camrs really helps me getting through each week!
