This "x is so privileged so they're not allowed to be stressed about things and sad about missed opportunities in their life" is such a weird train of thought That's not how human emotions work Policing another person's emotions and expression like this is so non-emphatic?
Hey Eve, I'm a language student at Oxford too but was granted dispensation from the year abroad due to health problems in 2020. Just here to say that I think you're absolutely right to feel incredibly angry and distressed by how the university have approached the travel situation. The advice is pretty much: exploit every loophole to get to the target country, possibly incur huge costs on quarantine hotels when you want to return to the UK, and then not even have a valuable experience when you're in the country because there's still so many restrictions in place. I think it's disgraceful and hugely irresponsible - no duty of care whatsoever on their part and no consideration of the financial implications for students. Never feel guilty about feeling shit: everyone is as entitled to sadness as they are to happiness. Sending you lots of love and I hope your health issues are resolved soon!
I hate the notion that you can’t be sad because someone is sadder because it’s like saying you can’t be happy because someone is happier. I am really struggling right now with online uni we have barely any teaching, all lectures are pre recorded and they have removed our no detriment that we had last year because this lockdown ‘wasn’t unexpected’??? We also were told that they have adapted assignments to suit the new teaching style but we still had to do group presentations online we love to see it. The only time uni students are thought about is when people are blaming them when so many of us are just stuck in our bedrooms doing uni with no support and paying 9k for the privilege. But I still know that I am lucky to be able to be doing a degree so I feel like I shouldn’t be feeling this way. Apologies for the rant! Also I have endometriosis and I was put on rigevidon when I was in sixth form to help manage it but it made my mood awful I actually could not cope but it was hard because it helped with my endo symptoms so I didn’t want to come off it but I went back to the doctors about it and they put me on microgynon and it works so much better for me!❤️
Please Eve ignore the people on those forums. One day I stumbled across it and oh my gosh all I saw was hateful, bitter middle age women that did not have anything else to do. I honestly felt sorry for them! Uour thriving, you will have a great future so please don't take any notice to those people.
“This whole thing has beaten the love for my degree out of me” I am SO glad to hear that someone else feels this way! I have completely fallen out of love with my degree, with learning, with education in general! I was determined and so motivated and on the road to achieve a First this time last year and now I genuinely don’t see myself finishing this year at all. It’s so SO hard being any type of student during this, it’s absolutely heartbreaking!
It breaks my heart to hear of people being so relentlessly horrible to you. It’s honestly much more reflective of their insecurities and the negative things happening in their lives for them to take the time to be so cruel towards you. You’re doing your absolute best, and I can honestly relate to hormones and lockdown in general beating the life and happiness out of you! You’ve inspired me so much and do not deserve any of these comments. I find it scary how people have the ability to behave with such little empathy. Nobody has the right to tell you how to live! Thank you for being so open and letting us know we’re not alone xx
Ikr like people don’t have any right to judge how others are feeling - everyone is pretty much struggling and the only way to get through it is together. Especially considering Eve is so nice and real too
I love the videos in which you're talking about your mental state during the pandemic because it always gives me the feeling that it's okay to articulate that I'm unhappy at the moment although of course I am so privileged and others have it way harder than me.
I really appreciate you opening up, sending you love. My family are very toxic in terms of positivity, it has made me feel better hearing you acknowledge that it is hard for everyone right now.
With you being so open with your struggles in a weird way feels really refreshing! Being able to sit here and relate to your struggles is really comforting
I am SO sorry that uni has been so harsh to you and all the other language students. I can totally understand how stressed you are and you shouldn't have to apologise for expressing that. Sending you so much love, just keep taking things one day at a time gal xxx
As someone that is going to be applying to university soon I like hearing about how different unis have treated their student during the pandemic, it's helped me rule out certain unis completely.
The amount of disclaimers in this video! Your feelings are completely valid, and as a viewer I can completely see how delicately you are discussing the pandemic. Hope you are feeling better soon, being a woman sucks. Melanie Murphys sister (I think she is called Jessica Brennan?) has PCOS so if you wanted to check out her videos!
Idk if this is normal during a pandemic but I've literally also been having a huge identity crisis since the autumn 😭 unrelated but also your hair in this video and in the past few videos is just goals 😍
same! ive been having such an intense prolonged identity wobble, probably since around august but we've got this! trusting we'll all work things out in the end
It’s so comforting seeing that it’s not just me!! I’ve been feeling so disillusioned with myself, as though someone could ask me a question about what I like/my hobbies or something and I’d just draw a blank?? Like I just don’t know myself anymore?? It must be to do with the pandemic if there is a lot of us struggling. Not long now I’m sure and we’ll all be free and begin to rebuild ourselves 💕
Same!! It’s because we have so much time to ourselves that we start to notice things we didn’t realise (often false things that only we think) which means loads of people are having self esteem issues. Mixed with the fact I started sixth form in September but during COVID obviously so I feel like I’m not really there yet
Shocked at how Oxford is handling the situation. Rest assured you've made the right choice, there's nothing to feel guilty about! Hope you feel better, both physically and mentally
When all this started we were given a non detriment policy. Now in 3rd year in this new lockdown we haven’t been given another and our uni is saying it’s not a new experience anymore and we basically should be used to working in a pandemic now. Couple that with the fact that we are primary education students and can’t have our final placement in schools at the moment while trying to write a dissertation and apply for jobs! I know how you feel about your uni. It feels like they don’t have a human approach to this and consider the effects on us.
My uni is the same, the only “safety net” they’ve kept is allowing us to apply for a 10 day EC without needing to provide any evidence. It’s ridiculous and so stressful! It makes me so sad how dehumanising universities have been this year. It makes me so angry!
Eve - you're health issues really resonated with me. I went through similar issues myself around 2 years (not pcos, but a pituitary gland issue). It took over a year to receive a diagnosis. Before I was diagnosed, I had soooo much heath anxiety, not knowing what's wrong with me. I hope you find out soon whether it is pcos or not. And remember so many people are going through the same thing and you are not alone xxx 💞
you're such a legend, going through so much crap and still telling everyone that its okay to feel shit and their problems are valid - keep pushing through you're doing a great job! It'll be better soon
I graduated Ox in 2013 (so I'm basically elderly for this channel!) but just wanted to say I really feel for everything students are currently going through. Having been through Ox finals relatively recently, I do think they will mark fairly, they just need to get better at communicating this and realising that students are under a lot of pressure and need reassurance sometimes. Please stop reading your hate forums, I can't believe they exist (what a sad little life, Jane...) , you have nothing to feel bad about. I took a year out post-Uni and went to Malaysia for 6 months before law school. It put my law training 'back' a year but was the best thing I ever did. Now I'm in my 30th year, no-one cares if you took an extra year to achieve your career goals - colleagues don't know or care exactly how old you are. Stay positive, you're doing great, and it's nice to see a fellow West Midlander represented!
really lovely to see you open up about this, feels like i'm talking to a friend. i hope you are feeling a bit better & glad you've got an amazing support system around you x
I’m so sorry for the lack of understanding your university is showing rn, so many unis are doing this and it makes me absolutely sick the way they’re not technically in the wrong because they’re not FORCING you to go anywhere but then put such academic pressure on you to go certain places that you’re stuck deciding between putting your own and everybody else’s health on the line or falling behind academically. of course we could have it much worse but that is such a difficult situation to be in and takes such a toll on your mental health, so stay safe and do whatever helps you get through this!! 💓
Eve😢 Thank you so so much for sharing this and keeping things real with us all! I’m hoping all goes okay with the ultrasound in the future. Please don’t read the horrid comments - they’re honestly all just so jealous I swear. You’re SUCH an inspiration - keep pushing and doing what you’re doing ❤️
You're so honest with your audience about the way that you're feeling which is so lovely. You deserve to feel the emotions that you're feeling. It's okay to feel happy or sad or worried, especially during this pandemic. You are GLOWING in this video and I'm so glad you're back from your break but don't forget, you're allowed to take a break whenever necessary. You're only human!!!! X
honestly, i feel this so much. like many students, i am trying to complete dissertation research whilst feeling really lonley and down, it's ridiculously hard and feel like the people who finish university this year and the year after are going to be a lost generation in terms of degree results etc. the anxiety is extremely stressful
Thank you so much for this video Eve. You're so honest and down to earth, you shouldn't need to apologise for your emotions, your realness is so admirable. One piece of advice for judgement/hate that has me helped is this: If someone is being judgemental and cruel towards you, you can't really take their opinion to heart as they haven't been there throughout your whole life. You can't really take it to heart because they have seen about 1% of your life so why would you be hurt about someone judging 1% of your life! Idk if that makes sense haha but you're doing amazing xx
I haven’t watched your videos in a while but honestly clicking on this, despite you probably not feeling like it, you look amazing! The hair colour, the shine, your skin everything! Completely off topic but hope you feel better too soon!
I would love to hear you talk about health and fitness! I esp love seeing what I eat in a day's / workout routines from non fitness gurus because it's alot more relatable (compared to fitness gurus shoving kale and crossfit down our throats)
On the academic pressure thing, I completely get you. I study textiles and specialise in weave but obviously we don’t have access to the looms right now, so all of our teaching has been transferred to an online software... that only works on windows pcs, so 60% of us on laptops/macs just can’t use it. And the response we’ve had from uni is “well the library is open” and when we were like “but we aren’t about to all travel in from all over the country just to access this software” they basically just shrugged and said it wasn’t there problem and they had done their job as a university to “provide all the resources required” Uni’s just don’t care at this point and no one can change my mind on that
in the past few months i’ve literally experienced all those symptoms you’ve spoke about and i knew something was wrong but i wasn’t even aware of what it could be so i thought i was just being emotional. i’m now gonna speak to my gp and see what they say. thank you for being so open and honest about this stuff eve and i hope you start to feel better soon
Hey Eve, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 and now I'm 20. It's tough, not gonna lie, I haven't ever really tried to control the symptoms but I've made it a thing to start living a much healthier lifestyle from September this year (as this can reverse the effects and is probably the main way to try and treat it). I'm glad I watched this video, thank you for being so open, a good reminder that everyone is human and is suffering with their own problems, no matter how big or small they seem. You're the best, much love.
Bethany the best thing to do is to live a healthy lifestyle, as losing just 5% of your body weight can be so beneficial in terms of controlling your symptoms. most women with PCOS are overweight but even if you’re not, It’s still advised to eat healthily and exercise regularly. This is because PCOS is associated with being really insulin resistant, making us more prone to diseases like type 2 diabetes :( so avoiding certain foods like refined carbohydrates is recommended
@@Aurora-wb2wc thank you! I have an underactive thyroid and so they want to check for PCOS cos they can be related so not sure if I will have it but if I do then that’s really helpful thank you xx
Eve is really the only one of the studytubers I still feel is relatable and real, I'm not gonna bring others in this genre down or name names but I haven't been able to relate to many of the others on the same level as Eve during this pandemic and have unfollowed a few. Thank you for just being real and being you, it's nice as a student struggling with third year to see someone else having a breakdown too hahaha.
I feel the exact same way about what to do after uni. Im in my last year, had no gap year and always had my heart set on doing a masters straight after but I've decided there is no way im doing more education online so going to take at least 6 months out of education and just work and hopefully get a foot in the industry I want. Glad I'm not the only one!
Hey Eve, I just wanted to share my experience: I also have PCOS, I was diagnosed when I was 18 and I treated it with the pill throughout my teenage years. I really regret that because of all the side effects of the pill (I got really depressed and my sex drive disappeared completely) and because it just surpressed the symptoms - so not a holistic approach. For me changing my lifestyle really helped me with it, I went vegan over three years ago, I workout almost everyday and stopped eating so much sugar. I am 25 now and have my symptoms under control so much better. I wish you the best and I hope you find a way to help with your symptoms!
This ! To anyone watching this, I’ve been working with a specialist and found that controlling PCOS through diet and lifestyle is the best way - birth control largely just masks the symptoms and they all come back once you get off the pill.
@@Theglortube yes they did! My periods are still somewhat irregular but before I got them maybe twice a year, now I get them every 1-2 months which is less worrying!
I hate when people on the internet project their own insecurities onto others and make them feel bad. I want to give my little opinion here: I have been watching Eve because she is so honest and I got a perspective on uni life in the UK, as I kind of always wanted to be there when I was younger. It's been fun. I'm German, way past my student years and have been working full time quite normally throughout the pandemic, so I do see how lucky I am. I feel bad for every student of any age right now. Since those years are quite formative and should also be the most fun time of your life! No one can really imagine the negative effects this whole lockdown thing will have on the mental health and well-being of those young people who probably missed out on so many opportunities during this time. They will not get it back. So yes, you are allowed to feel sad and frustrated.
please eve, stay strong. We love you no matter what struggles you're going through. Your struggles are YOURS, no matter how big or small they are. we're here for you
I think the pandemic has accelerated our normal growing/changing process. We are not the same people we were before all this. And in a prolonged lockdown it’s easy to lose yourself completely
Haven’t watched the full video but just wanted to say I’m genuinely really proud that you caught yourself at 3:35 before you did a disclaimer and stopped yourself, we love that growth!
You have all my compassion, I have been dealing with chronic pain for more than 2 years now and I just found out today I have to get gyno surgery in 2 months just in case they can find something and I am terrified, so scared! To anyone facing health issues and uncertainties, lots of love and courage, we will get through it xxxxx
You're definitely not alone, I was diagnosed with endometriosis 2 years ago and all your symptoms are the same as what I went through. It is incredibly painful especially when the doctors or society as whole suggests your pain and emotions are not valid. Glad you're seeking support it can be life changing. I went on to desogestrel and I haven't nearly as many issues, hope this helps!x
I was diagnosed with pcos at the end of my first year after being a complete mess for months, I’m not a crier but I would be crying on the daily.. luckily I didn’t suffer from weight gain/ hair growth but my bloods came back with excess androgens. I was put on rigevidon and thankfully I haven’t suffered any side effects, if anything my flatmates said I seemed so much happier! Just shows how it works for different people. Wish you all the best Eve! Hopefully you find a pill that works and start to feel better✨xx
This video hit me in the feels. 💛 I'm not good at words but just thank you for opening up, for being real, for being you. Also, I just want to give you a big hug. *internet hug*
i took a gap year after my undergrad (even doing a year abroad within my undergrad) and now doing my masters - it was so mentally refreshing to do that gap year abroad and earn some money at the same time; my advice is do it!
Eve you are totally justified to feel sad about the whole situation and the missed opportunities you've had! You are sacrificing so much and it's really hard. But it's the right thing to do - though you might not feel proud yet for acting to stop the spread of the virus because it feels so shit to have to do it, in the future you'll look back and know you did the right thing by staying at home. You're saving lives - you're going through hell to do it, but you're making a difference. Big love to you Eve ❤️
Just finished watching the video and I really appreciated you sharing your life like this. I felt like I was hearing a friend talk about their life and I think these kinds of videos just help people feel less alone in this situation so thank you!
Oh my goodness Eve we had the same problems! I still have hair too from PCOS and got laser hair removal. Nice to know that it wasn't such an abnormal thing!!
I went to your school for the first term of Sixth Form Eve, we had brief discussions about Chaucer n House Arts. You were always so positive, I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I have an offer at Oxford for October but videos like this really make me reconsider whether the environment is as healthy as people would like to make out.
Hey gal! No honestly it’s just the languages faculty - the whole experience with my college and with individual tutors has been amaze, they can just lack flexibility sometimes but I wouldn’t change my experience in the first 2 years!
You are so raw & honest- it’s so so refreshing! I hope there’s a time you remember the reasons you chose your degree& love for languages as your perseverance is incredible ❤️ also Costa Rica is a beautiful country to visit would highly recommend!!
I know what you mean, not feeling like the normal version of yourself. Exams are feeling quite stressful right now, so I can only imagine how uni students are feeling. Just taking each day at a time is all we can do at the moment. Hopefully things will start to look up soon 😊
2:00 yh I know what you mean. Since 2021 started I've been feeling sort of odd and unlike myself with fluctuating emotions and it's been weird honestly
newsflash, we don't CHOOSE to be sad or feel a certain way about something, emotions are emotions and they are not in our control. Emotions are part of the human condition. You should never apologise for it or feel guilty for simply being a HUMAN.
Eve, haven't watched your videos in a while but this popped up and wanted to see how you are. I'm really sorry you're going through such a tough patch, and your feelings are valid. Just want to say thank you for inspiring me, since my year abroad a few years ago I have barely spoken my languages because I get anxious I speak them badly, but then they get worse as I don't practice. So I've booked a trial with a tutor to speak Spanish for an hour at the weekend and I'm terrified but determined to improve! Thank you xx
As someone who dislikes a lot of UA-camrs for being arrogant and just generally annoying, I can safely say that you are not one of those people Eve! If there was something wrong I’m sure your subscribers would politely call you out in the comments instead of writing on hateful forms, so stop looking at the hate websites because what they are defo just bored people who thrive on putting other people down to make themselves feel better!
I'm so glad that you have chosen to talk about this, it's so good to see someone being honest and authentic! Also I am glad that you have opened up about personal issues/topics because no one is alone in this. It should be talked about more so that people are more aware of those issues x
I really really relate to what you said about feeling like a different person. I've felt like this lately and it can be quite an unnerving feeling. It's so comforting to know you've been feeling the same because I have been really struggling with it. I too was looking at old Instagram pictures and I've noticed how much I've changed and it has made me feel so strange for a few days. Thank you for your honesty x
that middle clip was so needed and I really hope that people realise that what you’re doing is amazing and you’re providing comfort and entertainment for thousands of people ❤️ love the video again xx
Excellent decision. Well done! A year when you are young seems incredibly long but when you look back, believe me, it's just a quick blip that is of no consequence career-wise, especially if you time it well. You should definitely take a good long break and allow yourself to find your own rhythm again. You deserve this.
I don't usually comment on videos, but really sympathised so much with everything you said. As a university student the same age as you, I too am struggling in the same ways. It's okay for us to be fed up, it's okay to miss how life was before and to feel angry with the way the world is. University students have been unfairly left out of government talks, we've had little guidance on what we're supposed to be doing, and most importantly, online learning is acknowledged as being difficult for school students, but not for university students, who should get on with it. It makes me so fed up that university students have been left in the dark with online learning yet are still having to sit exams and produce high standards of work, whilst school students are having their exams cancelled because "the quality of teaching is not the same". And it's okay to be feeling this way right now, Eve, because everyone our age is feeling the same. And these people who contribute to forums saying that you're too 'privileged' to be affected are entirely invalidating any feelings that you are allowed to have. Wishing you all the best x
you're so so nice Eve, taking so many people's feelings into consideration. you're entitled to feel what you feel, don't let anyone ever make you feel otherwise x
I feel like its ok to feel pain for things even if people are going through things that are worse as long as you aren't self centred about your pain. as long as you acknowledge the things going on around the world which you do and try and help out which you have its fine. taking care of your mental health is important and if you don't talk about your own pain your mental health will go down.
It's so refreshing to see someone who is also having a very difficult time in this pandemic. It makes you feel less alone and less crazy for how you feel
Videos like this are what is needed right now so... Realistic struggles that everyone has! Preach that all feelings are valid. Thank you for this video- particularly as a student myself who lost the end of her last year, graduation and is missing out on her Master degree in a dance studio with no reassurance that there is a support policy. You Got This!!!
I was diagnosed with PCOS when i was 19 (blood tests but ultrasound was clear). I was lucky to see an endocrinologist in Sydney that specialises in PCOS issues and she prescribed me metformin, because the pill is just a bandaid for the symptoms, metformin tackles insulin problems. I got my period back, regularly, after 2 months. When I moved to the UK and needed to update my prescription, the doctor tried to prescribe me the pill instead. So, definitely see a specialist even if your ultra sound comes back clear or inconclusive.
Hi Hayley, I have PCOS and have considered asking to be prescribed metformin as I want to come off the pill (as you say the pill just masks the symptoms). Was your GP in the U.K. receptive to you being prescribed metformin? Also what benefits and/or side effects have you experienced from metformin? Thanks in advance! X
@@harrietread2284 Hi Harriet! So initially she asked me why I needed metformin and tried to prescribe me the pill, and I was just very firm and said it was prescribed by a specialist so I would be continuing with the metformin (and no worries after that). Some GPs have really poor knowledge of women's health and use older methods (like the pill) so two options would be to just go in and be very firm and say you've done your research and you'd like to try metformin (500mg extended release) to see if it helps you, and if the doctor is reluctant, ask for a referral to a specialist and they will prescribe you the metformin. I get the impression it's more common in Australia than in the UK.
No side-effects with metformin for me! It takes a while to get used to (stomach-wise) so I got the extended release which slowly releases insulin over 12 hours (so it doesn't upset your digestion as much). You eventually increase the dosage, but i've stayed with the one tablet a day. Benefits from friends with PCOS have (anecdotally!) been gradual but not drastic weight loss, slight decrease in appetite. I didn't lose any weight but I also had a normal BMI.
Personally I prefer dedicated videos or Tiktok's dedicated to talking about food, exercise or body image etc so that I can avoid them all together rather than it being featured half way through a video unexpectedly and having to skip forwards but thats just what works for me
i feel exactly the same! i’ve had countless blood tests thinking it’s either pcos or something to do with my thyroid and all all the results come back normal:(
The whole identity feeling is such a weird and hard one to even explain but i know exactly what it is you’re talking about. For me, ive coped by having faith that ill grow into myself eventually without feeling off or weird about it because the feeling does eventually fizzle out (if that makes any sense lol)
I totally agree with not feeling like 'myself' anymore, or should I say my self in the past, but I actually much prefer how I feel now. It has just been very strange feeling like I've suddenly changed/ grown a lot recently. I think the way I've coped with it is just trying to always find the positives in my changes, such as being more confident in myself and being mentally stronger from what we've all had to deal with (this is probably something we've all grown a lot!). :)
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE should be invalidating your feelings and emotions! As cliche as this sounds, we are all human! Your emotions are valid, you are valid no matter how much people make it seem like they are less than someone else because their experience seems “worse”! Never disregard the way you feel to make people happy or satisfied of because you feel yours is not “as bad as theirs!” You’re beautiful and strong and you’ll get through this! Will be praying for you sis! 😭😭❤️
This video is so helpful for everyone around that feels the same or is having hard times with dealing with their emotions 🤍 Life is just like it is and let’s make it the best as possible, but sometimes this isnt with positive emotions! My dm’s are also open if someone wants to talk 😌
the fact that you're sat here crying about the things people are saying about you breaks my heart, yes everyone has lost things this year but that doesn't invalidate you, hope you're doing okay stay strong gal xxxx
i took rigevidon from age 13 to about 16! and then i took a break from it - i had positive experiences then and absolutely no issues. i was prescribed it when i was 18 and oh my god, the side effects were lethal. i was so ill (quite like how you describe your own experience) and my mental health completely plummeted- made the first part of uni terrible ! i came off quickly 😭 i really hope you are doing okay, and that you can find a better suited pill soon xx
Absolutely loved seeing you open up in this video because I've been feeling a bit guilty about feeling down in the dumps- my 18th birthday is next week and I haven't seen my friends in so long and life just feels a bit crap at the moment! You are 100% not alone Eve, sending love 💜
Tips on identity crisis: I had a bit of an identity crisis last summer. I think its totally normal to feel this way now because normally we are so busy with work and we never stop and try to process things properly. So it could just be unprocessed stuff from the past. Also it's important to think about the person u used to be and try to understand why u were that way and what events in your life contributed to it. That will help with the two versions of yourself being less disjointed and to sort of find the missing links and connect them together. Then think about the person u want to become and what sort of characteristics that person has. What helped me was rethinking my opinions and beliefs about most things. The feeling of confusion will get better eventually u just need to allow yourself time to think it through. Hope that helps ❤
Thank you for sharing your experience with the road to a PCOS diagnosis. You'll help so many women by doing this. I have also been diagnosed with PCOS and am undergoing further tests for Endometriosis so hearing more people talk about it and raise awareness is amazing. Stay strong Eve x
Eve I'm 10 seconds into the video but your hair looks INCREDIBLE
IKR the colourrrr 😍👏🏽
This "x is so privileged so they're not allowed to be stressed about things and sad about missed opportunities in their life" is such a weird train of thought
That's not how human emotions work
Policing another person's emotions and expression like this is so non-emphatic?
So true
Yep I agree

I hate the notion that you can’t be sad because someone is sadder because it’s like saying you can’t be happy because someone is happier. I am really struggling right now with online uni we have barely any teaching, all lectures are pre recorded and they have removed our no detriment that we had last year because this lockdown ‘wasn’t unexpected’??? We also were told that they have adapted assignments to suit the new teaching style but we still had to do group presentations online we love to see it.

Please Eve ignore the people on those forums. One day I stumbled across it and oh my gosh all I saw was hateful, bitter middle age women that did not have anything else to do. I honestly felt sorry for them! Uour thriving, you will have a great future so please don't take any notice to those people.
@Nicky L Completely agree. By the way I mean no disrespect to nice middle age women!
“This whole thing has beaten the love for my degree out of me” I am SO glad to hear that someone else feels this way! I have completely fallen out of love with my degree, with learning, with education in general! I was determined and so motivated and on the road to achieve a First this time last year and now I genuinely don’t see myself finishing this year at all. It’s so SO hard being any type of student during this, it’s absolutely heartbreaking!
Eve honestly is saying what everyone is thinking ❤️ so authentic and real, I really appreciate it!
Thank you xx
Okay can we just establish the fact that Eve is GLOWING in this video!
It breaks my heart to hear of people being so relentlessly horrible to you. It’s honestly much more reflective of their insecurities and the negative things happening in their lives for them to take the time to be so cruel towards you. You’re doing your absolute best, and I can honestly relate to hormones and lockdown in general beating the life and happiness out of you! You’ve inspired me so much and do not deserve any of these comments. I find it scary how people have the ability to behave with such little empathy. Nobody has the right to tell you how to live! Thank you for being so open and letting us know we’re not alone xx
Ikr like people don’t have any right to judge how others are feeling - everyone is pretty much struggling and the only way to get through it is together. Especially considering Eve is so nice and real too
I love the videos in which you're talking about your mental state during the pandemic because it always gives me the feeling that it's okay to articulate that I'm unhappy at the moment although of course I am so privileged and others have it way harder than me.
Exactly x
I really appreciate you opening up, sending you love. My family are very toxic in terms of positivity, it has made me feel better hearing you acknowledge that it is hard for everyone right now.
With you being so open with your struggles in a weird way feels really refreshing! Being able to sit here and relate to your struggles is really comforting
I am SO sorry that uni has been so harsh to you and all the other language students. I can totally understand how stressed you are and you shouldn't have to apologise for expressing that. Sending you so much love, just keep taking things one day at a time gal xxx
Thank you xxx
As someone that is going to be applying to university soon I like hearing about how different unis have treated their student during the pandemic, it's helped me rule out certain unis completely.
Good for you! Unis really need to get their priorities straight
Completely agree! I have a video on my channel about how Manchester uni has dealt with the pandemic if you’d find that useful :) xx
Im so happy that yputubers are being honest about their EDS, it helps people like me (in recovery) feel better about what ive gone through
You’re so thoughtful of others despite your own suffering. You’re not self-centred or selfish at all. Bless you.
The amount of disclaimers in this video! Your feelings are completely valid, and as a viewer I can completely see how delicately you are discussing the pandemic. Hope you are feeling better soon, being a woman sucks. Melanie Murphys sister (I think she is called Jessica Brennan?) has PCOS so if you wanted to check out her videos!
Hahahaha I need to stop doing disclaimers but there are always people that take it the wrong way x
@@RevisionWithEve I get it!! Anyone who’s hating clearly hasn’t watched any of your videos.
Idk if this is normal during a pandemic but I've literally also been having a huge identity crisis since the autumn 😭 unrelated but also your hair in this video and in the past few videos is just goals 😍
same! ive been having such an intense prolonged identity wobble, probably since around august but we've got this! trusting we'll all work things out in the end
It’s so comforting seeing that it’s not just me!! I’ve been feeling so disillusioned with myself, as though someone could ask me a question about what I like/my hobbies or something and I’d just draw a blank?? Like I just don’t know myself anymore?? It must be to do with the pandemic if there is a lot of us struggling. Not long now I’m sure and we’ll all be free and begin to rebuild ourselves 💕
Same!! It’s because we have so much time to ourselves that we start to notice things we didn’t realise (often false things that only we think) which means loads of people are having self esteem issues. Mixed with the fact I started sixth form in September but during COVID obviously so I feel like I’m not really there yet
Shocked at how Oxford is handling the situation. Rest assured you've made the right choice, there's nothing to feel guilty about! Hope you feel better, both physically and mentally
When all this started we were given a non detriment policy. Now in 3rd year in this new lockdown we haven’t been given another and our uni is saying it’s not a new experience anymore and we basically should be used to working in a pandemic now. Couple that with the fact that we are primary education students and can’t have our final placement in schools at the moment while trying to write a dissertation and apply for jobs! I know how you feel about your uni. It feels like they don’t have a human approach to this and consider the effects on us.
That’s ridiculous, sorry that’s happening to you
My uni is the same, the only “safety net” they’ve kept is allowing us to apply for a 10 day EC without needing to provide any evidence. It’s ridiculous and so stressful! It makes me so sad how dehumanising universities have been this year. It makes me so angry!
Eve - you're health issues really resonated with me. I went through similar issues myself around 2 years (not pcos, but a pituitary gland issue). It took over a year to receive a diagnosis. Before I was diagnosed, I had soooo much heath anxiety, not knowing what's wrong with me. I hope you find out soon whether it is pcos or not. And remember so many people are going through the same thing and you are not alone xxx 💞
you're such a legend, going through so much crap and still telling everyone that its okay to feel shit and their problems are valid - keep pushing through you're doing a great job! It'll be better soon
I graduated Ox in 2013 (so I'm basically elderly for this channel!) but just wanted to say I really feel for everything students are currently going through. Having been through Ox finals relatively recently, I do think they will mark fairly, they just need to get better at communicating this and realising that students are under a lot of pressure and need reassurance sometimes. Please stop reading your hate forums, I can't believe they exist (what a sad little life, Jane...) , you have nothing to feel bad about. I took a year out post-Uni and went to Malaysia for 6 months before law school. It put my law training 'back' a year but was the best thing I ever did. Now I'm in my 30th year, no-one cares if you took an extra year to achieve your career goals - colleagues don't know or care exactly how old you are. Stay positive, you're doing great, and it's nice to see a fellow West Midlander represented!
really lovely to see you open up about this, feels like i'm talking to a friend. i hope you are feeling a bit better & glad you've got an amazing support system around you x
I’m so sorry for the lack of understanding your university is showing rn, so many unis are doing this and it makes me absolutely sick the way they’re not technically in the wrong because they’re not FORCING you to go anywhere but then put such academic pressure on you to go certain places that you’re stuck deciding between putting your own and everybody else’s health on the line or falling behind academically. of course we could have it much worse but that is such a difficult situation to be in and takes such a toll on your mental health, so stay safe and do whatever helps you get through this!! 💓
Eve😢 Thank you so so much for sharing this and keeping things real with us all! I’m hoping all goes okay with the ultrasound in the future. Please don’t read the horrid comments - they’re honestly all just so jealous I swear. You’re SUCH an inspiration - keep pushing and doing what you’re doing ❤️
Thank you xx
You're so honest with your audience about the way that you're feeling which is so lovely. You deserve to feel the emotions that you're feeling. It's okay to feel happy or sad or worried, especially during this pandemic. You are GLOWING in this video and I'm so glad you're back from your break but don't forget, you're allowed to take a break whenever necessary. You're only human!!!! X
honestly, i feel this so much. like many students, i am trying to complete dissertation research whilst feeling really lonley and down, it's ridiculously hard and feel like the people who finish university this year and the year after are going to be a lost generation in terms of degree results etc. the anxiety is extremely stressful
Thank you so much for this video Eve. You're so honest and down to earth, you shouldn't need to apologise for your emotions, your realness is so admirable. One piece of advice for judgement/hate that has me helped is this: If someone is being judgemental and cruel towards you, you can't really take their opinion to heart as they haven't been there throughout your whole life. You can't really take it to heart because they have seen about 1% of your life so why would you be hurt about someone judging 1% of your life! Idk if that makes sense haha but you're doing amazing xx
I haven’t watched your videos in a while but honestly clicking on this, despite you probably not feeling like it, you look amazing! The hair colour, the shine, your skin everything! Completely off topic but hope you feel better too soon!
I would love to hear you talk about health and fitness! I esp love seeing what I eat in a day's / workout routines from non fitness gurus because it's alot more relatable (compared to fitness gurus shoving kale and crossfit down our throats)
Ahhh ok! Xx
Your feelings are so valid Eve. Sending you a huge hug 🥺❤
Eve you are GLOWING 😍 absolutely love your hair ahhh!
Thank you love hope you’re good x
Eve, I really appreciate how open you are about everything
Thank you x
I love the honesty in these videos, makes you realise us students aren’t alone x
On the academic pressure thing, I completely get you. I study textiles and specialise in weave but obviously we don’t have access to the looms right now, so all of our teaching has been transferred to an online software... that only works on windows pcs, so 60% of us on laptops/macs just can’t use it. And the response we’ve had from uni is “well the library is open” and when we were like “but we aren’t about to all travel in from all over the country just to access this software” they basically just shrugged and said it wasn’t there problem and they had done their job as a university to “provide all the resources required” Uni’s just don’t care at this point and no one can change my mind on that
in the past few months i’ve literally experienced all those symptoms you’ve spoke about and i knew something was wrong but i wasn’t even aware of what it could be so i thought i was just being emotional. i’m now gonna speak to my gp and see what they say. thank you for being so open and honest about this stuff eve and i hope you start to feel better soon
Hey Eve, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 and now I'm 20. It's tough, not gonna lie, I haven't ever really tried to control the symptoms but I've made it a thing to start living a much healthier lifestyle from September this year (as this can reverse the effects and is probably the main way to try and treat it). I'm glad I watched this video, thank you for being so open, a good reminder that everyone is human and is suffering with their own problems, no matter how big or small they seem. You're the best, much love.
I might have PCOS I am having tests do you have any advice?
Bethany the best thing to do is to live a healthy lifestyle, as losing just 5% of your body weight can be so beneficial in terms of controlling your symptoms. most women with PCOS are overweight but even if you’re not, It’s still advised to eat healthily and exercise regularly. This is because PCOS is associated with being really insulin resistant, making us more prone to diseases like type 2 diabetes :( so avoiding certain foods like refined carbohydrates is recommended
@@Aurora-wb2wc thank you! I have an underactive thyroid and so they want to check for PCOS cos they can be related so not sure if I will have it but if I do then that’s really helpful thank you xx
Bethany no worries, hope everything goes well with you & that you’re fine! :) xx
@@Aurora-wb2wc thank you!!! :)
That's ridiculous that oxford were encouraging you to get around restrictions by going to spain through france
Eve is really the only one of the studytubers I still feel is relatable and real, I'm not gonna bring others in this genre down or name names but I haven't been able to relate to many of the others on the same level as Eve during this pandemic and have unfollowed a few. Thank you for just being real and being you, it's nice as a student struggling with third year to see someone else having a breakdown too hahaha.
you look so pretty eve this hair colour suits you so much
I feel the exact same way about what to do after uni. Im in my last year, had no gap year and always had my heart set on doing a masters straight after but I've decided there is no way im doing more education online so going to take at least 6 months out of education and just work and hopefully get a foot in the industry I want. Glad I'm not the only one!
Best of luck to you x
@@RevisionWithEve Thank you! You too!
Hey Eve, I just wanted to share my experience: I also have PCOS, I was diagnosed when I was 18 and I treated it with the pill throughout my teenage years. I really regret that because of all the side effects of the pill (I got really depressed and my sex drive disappeared completely) and because it just surpressed the symptoms - so not a holistic approach. For me changing my lifestyle really helped me with it, I went vegan over three years ago, I workout almost everyday and stopped eating so much sugar. I am 25 now and have my symptoms under control so much better. I wish you the best and I hope you find a way to help with your symptoms!
This ! To anyone watching this, I’ve been working with a specialist and found that controlling PCOS through diet and lifestyle is the best way - birth control largely just masks the symptoms and they all come back once you get off the pill.
Did your lifestyle changes regulate your periods at least a bit? X
@@Theglortube yes they did! My periods are still somewhat irregular but before I got them maybe twice a year, now I get them every 1-2 months which is less worrying!
I hate when people on the internet project their own insecurities onto others and make them feel bad. I want to give my little opinion here: I have been watching Eve because she is so honest and I got a perspective on uni life in the UK, as I kind of always wanted to be there when I was younger. It's been fun. I'm German, way past my student years and have been working full time quite normally throughout the pandemic, so I do see how lucky I am. I feel bad for every student of any age right now. Since those years are quite formative and should also be the most fun time of your life! No one can really imagine the negative effects this whole lockdown thing will have on the mental health and well-being of those young people who probably missed out on so many opportunities during this time. They will not get it back. So yes, you are allowed to feel sad and frustrated.
Thanks so much and hope you’re holding up!
@@RevisionWithEve Thanks, all the best to you, Eve!
please eve, stay strong. We love you no matter what struggles you're going through. Your struggles are YOURS, no matter how big or small they are. we're here for you
Eve, please never feel guilty. Your down-to-heart attitude and adaptability will get you far. Your make-up and hair was on point!
I think the pandemic has accelerated our normal growing/changing process. We are not the same people we were before all this. And in a prolonged lockdown it’s easy to lose yourself completely
Haven’t watched the full video but just wanted to say I’m genuinely really proud that you caught yourself at 3:35 before you did a disclaimer and stopped yourself, we love that growth!
You have all my compassion, I have been dealing with chronic pain for more than 2 years now and I just found out today I have to get gyno surgery in 2 months just in case they can find something and I am terrified, so scared! To anyone facing health issues and uncertainties, lots of love and courage, we will get through it xxxxx
You're definitely not alone, I was diagnosed with endometriosis 2 years ago and all your symptoms are the same as what I went through. It is incredibly painful especially when the doctors or society as whole suggests your pain and emotions are not valid. Glad you're seeking support it can be life changing. I went on to desogestrel and I haven't nearly as many issues, hope this helps!x
omg i LOVE your darker hair eve!!
I was diagnosed with pcos at the end of my first year after being a complete mess for months, I’m not a crier but I would be crying on the daily.. luckily I didn’t suffer from weight gain/ hair growth but my bloods came back with excess androgens. I was put on rigevidon and thankfully I haven’t suffered any side effects, if anything my flatmates said I seemed so much happier! Just shows how it works for different people. Wish you all the best Eve! Hopefully you find a pill that works and start to feel better✨xx
It’s crazy how one pill can cause so many different reactions - thank you x
This video hit me in the feels. 💛 I'm not good at words but just thank you for opening up, for being real, for being you. Also, I just want to give you a big hug. *internet hug*
I’m newly diagnosed with pcos and I’m 17. It’s crazy how things can change
Crazy indeed!
hey these are some youtubers also with PCOS: madison sarah, flossie and the model romee strijd 🤍
@@lakedistrictlibrary9391 Yeah it's actually really common
i took a gap year after my undergrad (even doing a year abroad within my undergrad) and now doing my masters - it was so mentally refreshing to do that gap year abroad and earn some money at the same time; my advice is do it!
Eve you are totally justified to feel sad about the whole situation and the missed opportunities you've had! You are sacrificing so much and it's really hard. But it's the right thing to do - though you might not feel proud yet for acting to stop the spread of the virus because it feels so shit to have to do it, in the future you'll look back and know you did the right thing by staying at home. You're saving lives - you're going through hell to do it, but you're making a difference. Big love to you Eve ❤️
Just finished watching the video and I really appreciated you sharing your life like this. I felt like I was hearing a friend talk about their life and I think these kinds of videos just help people feel less alone in this situation so thank you!
Oh my goodness Eve we had the same problems! I still have hair too from PCOS and got laser hair removal. Nice to know that it wasn't such an abnormal thing!!
I'm considering laser hair removal for it, I'm scared of how much it would cost though 😬
Actually, the video quality on this one is amazing
I went to your school for the first term of Sixth Form Eve, we had brief discussions about Chaucer n House Arts. You were always so positive, I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I have an offer at Oxford for October but videos like this really make me reconsider whether the environment is as healthy as people would like to make out.
Hey gal! No honestly it’s just the languages faculty - the whole experience with my college and with individual tutors has been amaze, they can just lack flexibility sometimes but I wouldn’t change my experience in the first 2 years!
@@RevisionWithEve Look after yourself mate, thinking of you x
You are so raw & honest- it’s so so refreshing! I hope there’s a time you remember the reasons you chose your degree& love for languages as your perseverance is incredible ❤️ also Costa Rica is a beautiful country to visit would highly recommend!!
I know what you mean, not feeling like the normal version of yourself. Exams are feeling quite stressful right now, so I can only imagine how uni students are feeling. Just taking each day at a time is all we can do at the moment. Hopefully things will start to look up soon 😊
2:00 yh I know what you mean. Since 2021 started I've been feeling sort of odd and unlike myself with fluctuating emotions and it's been weird honestly
It’s so bizarre! X
newsflash, we don't CHOOSE to be sad or feel a certain way about something, emotions are emotions and they are not in our control. Emotions are part of the human condition. You should never apologise for it or feel guilty for simply being a HUMAN.
I love listening to these while I do the Saturday morning tidy up ahha xxxx
Hope it went well! X
You generally seem like the sweetest person
Eve, haven't watched your videos in a while but this popped up and wanted to see how you are. I'm really sorry you're going through such a tough patch, and your feelings are valid. Just want to say thank you for inspiring me, since my year abroad a few years ago I have barely spoken my languages because I get anxious I speak them badly, but then they get worse as I don't practice. So I've booked a trial with a tutor to speak Spanish for an hour at the weekend and I'm terrified but determined to improve! Thank you xx
As someone who dislikes a lot of UA-camrs for being arrogant and just generally annoying, I can safely say that you are not one of those people Eve! If there was something wrong I’m sure your subscribers would politely call you out in the comments instead of writing on hateful forms, so stop looking at the hate websites because what they are defo just bored people who thrive on putting other people down to make themselves feel better!
I'm so glad that you have chosen to talk about this, it's so good to see someone being honest and authentic!
Also I am glad that you have opened up about personal issues/topics because no one is alone in this. It should be talked about more so that people are more aware of those issues x
I really really relate to what you said about feeling like a different person. I've felt like this lately and it can be quite an unnerving feeling. It's so comforting to know you've been feeling the same because I have been really struggling with it. I too was looking at old Instagram pictures and I've noticed how much I've changed and it has made me feel so strange for a few days. Thank you for your honesty x
Just as I'm bored looking for something to watch - then Eve uploads!❤
that middle clip was so needed and I really hope that people realise that what you’re doing is amazing and you’re providing comfort and entertainment for thousands of people ❤️ love the video again xx
Excellent decision. Well done! A year when you are young seems incredibly long but when you look back, believe me, it's just a quick blip that is of no consequence career-wise, especially if you time it well. You should definitely take a good long break and allow yourself to find your own rhythm again. You deserve this.
I don't usually comment on videos, but really sympathised so much with everything you said. As a university student the same age as you, I too am struggling in the same ways. It's okay for us to be fed up, it's okay to miss how life was before and to feel angry with the way the world is. University students have been unfairly left out of government talks, we've had little guidance on what we're supposed to be doing, and most importantly, online learning is acknowledged as being difficult for school students, but not for university students, who should get on with it. It makes me so fed up that university students have been left in the dark with online learning yet are still having to sit exams and produce high standards of work, whilst school students are having their exams cancelled because "the quality of teaching is not the same". And it's okay to be feeling this way right now, Eve, because everyone our age is feeling the same. And these people who contribute to forums saying that you're too 'privileged' to be affected are entirely invalidating any feelings that you are allowed to have. Wishing you all the best x
you're so so nice Eve, taking so many people's feelings into consideration. you're entitled to feel what you feel, don't let anyone ever make you feel otherwise x
I feel like its ok to feel pain for things even if people are going through things that are worse as long as you aren't self centred about your pain. as long as you acknowledge the things going on around the world which you do and try and help out which you have its fine. taking care of your mental health is important and if you don't talk about your own pain your mental health will go down.
I found this so helpful - im also a language student and haven't felt able to grieve what i've lost out on so thank you Eve
It's so refreshing to see someone who is also having a very difficult time in this pandemic. It makes you feel less alone and less crazy for how you feel
Videos like this are what is needed right now so... Realistic struggles that everyone has! Preach that all feelings are valid. Thank you for this video- particularly as a student myself who lost the end of her last year, graduation and is missing out on her Master degree in a dance studio with no reassurance that there is a support policy. You Got This!!!
I was diagnosed with PCOS when i was 19 (blood tests but ultrasound was clear). I was lucky to see an endocrinologist in Sydney that specialises in PCOS issues and she prescribed me metformin, because the pill is just a bandaid for the symptoms, metformin tackles insulin problems. I got my period back, regularly, after 2 months. When I moved to the UK and needed to update my prescription, the doctor tried to prescribe me the pill instead. So, definitely see a specialist even if your ultra sound comes back clear or inconclusive.
also want to add that i have a normal BMI (on the lower end) and had no other symptoms of pre-diabetes, and the metformin helped a lot.
Hi Hayley, I have PCOS and have considered asking to be prescribed metformin as I want to come off the pill (as you say the pill just masks the symptoms). Was your GP in the U.K. receptive to you being prescribed metformin? Also what benefits and/or side effects have you experienced from metformin? Thanks in advance! X
@@harrietread2284 Hi Harriet! So initially she asked me why I needed metformin and tried to prescribe me the pill, and I was just very firm and said it was prescribed by a specialist so I would be continuing with the metformin (and no worries after that). Some GPs have really poor knowledge of women's health and use older methods (like the pill) so two options would be to just go in and be very firm and say you've done your research and you'd like to try metformin (500mg extended release) to see if it helps you, and if the doctor is reluctant, ask for a referral to a specialist and they will prescribe you the metformin. I get the impression it's more common in Australia than in the UK.
No side-effects with metformin for me! It takes a while to get used to (stomach-wise) so I got the extended release which slowly releases insulin over 12 hours (so it doesn't upset your digestion as much). You eventually increase the dosage, but i've stayed with the one tablet a day. Benefits from friends with PCOS have (anecdotally!) been gradual but not drastic weight loss, slight decrease in appetite. I didn't lose any weight but I also had a normal BMI.
Personally I prefer dedicated videos or Tiktok's dedicated to talking about food, exercise or body image etc so that I can avoid them all together rather than it being featured half way through a video unexpectedly and having to skip forwards but thats just what works for me
Please never stop being you Eve! You’re fantastic and have inspired me so much! Cant wait to see all of the great things ahead for you :) X
i feel exactly the same! i’ve had countless blood tests thinking it’s either pcos or something to do with my thyroid and all all the results come back normal:(
Hope you find what it is :(
@@RevisionWithEve thankyou 🤍
The whole identity feeling is such a weird and hard one to even explain but i know exactly what it is you’re talking about. For me, ive coped by having faith that ill grow into myself eventually without feeling off or weird about it because the feeling does eventually fizzle out (if that makes any sense lol)
I totally agree with not feeling like 'myself' anymore, or should I say my self in the past, but I actually much prefer how I feel now. It has just been very strange feeling like I've suddenly changed/ grown a lot recently.
I think the way I've coped with it is just trying to always find the positives in my changes, such as being more confident in myself and being mentally stronger from what we've all had to deal with (this is probably something we've all grown a lot!). :)
Your hair looks absolutely beautiful Eve 😍
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE should be invalidating your feelings and emotions! As cliche as this sounds, we are all human! Your emotions are valid, you are valid no matter how much people make it seem like they are less than someone else because their experience seems “worse”! Never disregard the way you feel to make people happy or satisfied of because you feel yours is not “as bad as theirs!” You’re beautiful and strong and you’ll get through this! Will be praying for you sis! 😭😭❤️
Thank you so much for talking about this - so important for so many people! Sending you all the love🥰
Eve: flippantly says that the video will be 50 mins long
Eve: 49:55 😅😅😅😅😅
Lol I’m low key psychic 👀👀
Sorry, but the hair! The blue hoodie! The makeup! Absolutely stunning, please stop 😍😍😍
This video is so helpful for everyone around that feels the same or is having hard times with dealing with their emotions 🤍 Life is just like it is and let’s make it the best as possible, but sometimes this isnt with positive emotions! My dm’s are also open if someone wants to talk 😌
the fact that you're sat here crying about the things people are saying about you breaks my heart, yes everyone has lost things this year but that doesn't invalidate you, hope you're doing okay stay strong gal xxxx
i took rigevidon from age 13 to about 16! and then i took a break from it - i had positive experiences then and absolutely no issues. i was prescribed it when i was 18 and oh my god, the side effects were lethal. i was so ill (quite like how you describe your own experience) and my mental health completely plummeted- made the first part of uni terrible ! i came off quickly 😭 i really hope you are doing okay, and that you can find a better suited pill soon xx
Absolutely loved seeing you open up in this video because I've been feeling a bit guilty about feeling down in the dumps- my 18th birthday is next week and I haven't seen my friends in so long and life just feels a bit crap at the moment! You are 100% not alone Eve, sending love 💜
Sending love right back at you xxx
Tips on identity crisis:
I had a bit of an identity crisis last summer. I think its totally normal to feel this way now because normally we are so busy with work and we never stop and try to process things properly. So it could just be unprocessed stuff from the past. Also it's important to think about the person u used to be and try to understand why u were that way and what events in your life contributed to it. That will help with the two versions of yourself being less disjointed and to sort of find the missing links and connect them together. Then think about the person u want to become and what sort of characteristics that person has. What helped me was rethinking my opinions and beliefs about most things. The feeling of confusion will get better eventually u just need to allow yourself time to think it through. Hope that helps ❤
Thank you for this video.
I’ve noticed the best universities/ the Russel group have treated their students the WORST during this pandemic.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the road to a PCOS diagnosis. You'll help so many women by doing this. I have also been diagnosed with PCOS and am undergoing further tests for Endometriosis so hearing more people talk about it and raise awareness is amazing. Stay strong Eve x
Eve thanks for being so honest and open with us, send you lots of love! We just need to hope that everything will sort out in the end...
