I think that if when in a depressive episode, you are still managing to get up and shower and eat, you are being incredibly strong and productive x

[@allgirlreview433]

It isn't wallowing - it is depression. Managing to wash your hair, shower, taking care of Nigel is huge.

Everything you do, no matter how small, is a success.

This vlog is completely relatable. Thanks for sharing!!

[@JessOwens]

Thanks for watching 🩵🩵

[@leahharlann]

Honestly I'm impressed you managed to vlog at all WHILE taking care of yourself. I totally relate to the hygiene slipping while having an episode, and I appreciate that you were willing to let us into your life during this time too.

[@JessOwens]

thank you 🩵🩵🩵

[@aprilheise397]

I appreciate just knowing that I'm not riding the struggle bus alone. ❤

[@nickikendall3026]

Nigel snuggled up to you snoring was too cute 😍😍😍 as a fellow person with depression I really appreciate videos like this and your honesty of how it looks and feels it helps me and I am sure others to see that our depression episodes are normal and that we are not alone in it because it can feel lonely and like no one else understands how it feels. Xo

[@scl96]

I know that fic you're binding!!! I have to finish it but it's so good. And where have I been, I didn't realize you were into book binding; that takes so much patience and time, so I applaud you for that. Thank you for this "incomplete" vlog, I enjoyed every second of it ❤️

[@JessOwens]

Yasss finish it!! I already want to reread it. I only started book binding this year and still very much a newb. It’s a frustrating yet rewarding hobby 🩵🩵

[@scl96]

@JessOwens for a "newb," you seem to be doing awesome already :D and I will! I haven't read any fanfic for that ship in a while. 🥰

[@bettymakesclub8011]

I love these types of videos. So relatable and real ❤ feels like hanging out with a friend

[@akossiwak]

Ohhhhh! A vlog!!!

[@1493crowe]

I do enjoy watching your cooking clips!!

[@Beafree]

you did an amazing job on rebinding the book. That took so much patience. 👏👏👏

[@JessOwens]

Thank you! A part of the reason I like it bc I need to work on being patient lol

[@JashanaC]

💜hugs for vulnerability and a nice lil "eff off" to the depression, of course. Really awesome that you are willing to share with the world, though -- I'm certain it helps so many people!
omg the book binding seems too stressful for me haha -- BUT SO COOL!!!!!

[@AlwaysTheStoryCollector]

Thanks for allowing us a glimpse into your life, warts and all. That takes guts! 💛

[@JessOwens]

Thank you 🩵🩵

[@kayri687]

dude im also going through the don't want to eat bc of depression/anxiety thing and it's so rough like. yeah, solidarity

[@JessOwens]

Hoping it turns around soon for both of us 🩵

[@theresareads]

Nigel’s snoring while cuddling 🥹

[@CatApocalypse]

I didn't realize you did some book binding stuff! I was confused a moment when you pried the pretty cover off at first, before learning you'd designed it to begin with and were redoing it better 😹

[@JessOwens]

LOL! I only started this year. But I’m having fun!

[@thebackpackingbookwyrm]

Self care IS productive. And sometimes self care can be wallowing till noon and then just doing the things that absolutely need doing, like feeding yourself and taking care of Nigel. Depression is a bitch, but you got this, just ride it out friend.

[@JessOwens]

Thank you 🩵🩵🩵

[@ZS-dr7bi]

A relatable vlog. Big W for you because you did great. Making small efforts seems nothing on the outside but it's monumental achievement indeed. Hope you feel better soon.

[@JessOwens]

thank you 🩵🩵🩵
