She did help us come up with a slogan for a club fundraiser we were doing over the phone so she’s all good in my book. This whole comment section and this video is a huge nostalgia trip for me, not as much for her, but for my teacher who was like one of the best teachers I’ve had and she always raved about how awesome Laina was. I dunno it’s a very surreal feeling. I don’t really know how to describe it

    I remember when she posted her retirement from UA-cam video 3 years ago. It was right after I left a job that was making me miserable and an emotional wreck. While I wasn't dealing with depression that needed any type of medical help, I understood where the pressure she was dealing with came from, and could completely respect her decision to step away from it. I'm so happy to see that she seems to be doing much better because she seems like such a genuinely nice person.

      @@andyfreeman6865 Taking the right medicine is called "dealing with depression". It's a physiological disorder which often requires medication. If your pancreas doesn't produce insulin, you deal with diabetes by taking supplemental insulin. If your blood pressure is too high, you take medicine to reduce it. And if your brain doesn't produce or uptake enough seratonin, you take an SSRI. Dealing with depression means getting the medical help you need. Kudos to her for using her platform to help to remove the undeserved stigma of mental health treatment.

      @@joelavrunin347 Changing your outlook on life is simply all most of us need to do. Depression affects everyone. It's not some mysterious thing we know nothing about. There are so many books on how to fix problems. Depression due losing family or feeling stress of a career is normal. It's not someone should need medicine for unless there is an actual underlying issue. There is a stigma of therapists throwing medicine around like it's a cure to life problems. No. It's not. I support doctors and can't stand the antimedical idiots, however, doctors don't have the answer to every problem. Depression is normal and people need to know that. The first step is to seek guidance and solve the problem. Of course this culture thinks drugs are ok. Just look at all the potheads and how many are addicted to opiods.

      @@R.F.9847 Therapist wasn't doing his job or she wasn't fixing the problem. Of course everyone thinks happiness is the end all be all. Quite frankly, happiness is a temporary state and should never be looked at as a goal. It, by itself, means nothing. That's what these drugs affect. Disney lied to us. There is no happily ever after in this life. There living a meaningful life and a productive life. Those two usually produce joy and occasionally happiness. Happiness is not a right and we should forget about centering our lives around achieving it. Elon Musk is getting mankind to Mars and that man does not look happy. Stephen Hawking was miserable so why did he even try to live? Because happiness is not important. You don't get better by sitting around in a safe space. You have to take risks, face difficulty, and recognize that happiness isn't going to be readily available. Otherwise smoke pot and sit around. People with actual have mental issues don't get the help they need.
