This vid was spot on what I needed right now. Probably hanging around at your channel to an almost creepy amount at this point hahah, but whatevs. What you do here is IMPORTANT. Xxx!
I am 69......finally was correctly diagnosed about six months ago. Been dealing with it all my life. So relieved to find out that I am (have?) Bi-polar. Explains a lot. Thanks for being so up front about mental health issues....first time in my life there is a light. Love.
one thing that's helped me when i don't want to tell people the truth about why i've been absent (for example, last spring i took the semester off from university for mental health reasons) is making up a silly medical reason. specific ones i've used have been scurvy, losing my leg in the war of 1812, and dysentery. all very "old" illnesses, so they're not plausible explanations at all, which usually makes the person realize both a) this person doesn't want to talk about the real reason they were absent, which signals to them to back off/that they crossed a personal boundary for you, and b) that this person has a good sense of humor about it! i know that rhian's discussing being more open about mental health, but unfortunately there are times where you don't have the energy to say "yes i have mental health issues" and go through that whole (sometimes exhausting) conversation or simply don't want to disclose semi-personal issues with a stranger. hopefully this helped someone, or at least made them feel less alone!! as for rhian, as always, i SO appreciate you discussing such a taboo topic -- thank you for normalizing what is usually such a stigmatized issue
I'm in college and I'm in my 5th year and I've been struggling with bouts of depression and anxiety over the last year and I want to drop out of college. My mom doesn't seem to understand. She sounded so disappointed when I told her I didn't think I could handle another 2 years. I feel so stuck and lost. Part of the reason why I've never seemed help is because I go through periods of time when I'm fine and periods when I'm really happy and motivated and then I feel silly for being so upset before. When I came across your video about Cyclothymia it was the first time I had heard of it, but after doing a lot of research I feel like it's possible.. I still need to go talk to someone but I just want you to know I really appreciate your videos on mental health. They inspire me to be more transparent with the people I love.
Thank you! I’ve dealt with depression and anxiety since I was 13 (now 45) and I talk about my issues all the time. To me it’s very empowering, to own my story.
Because of you and your mental health videos I finally built up the courage to talk to a therapist for the first time yesterday. I just wanted to say thank you, you are a gem Rhian and I am so grateful for you 🧡
Literally EVERYTHING you said in this video resonates with me. Truly, you are one of the few online influencers who seem to understand mental illness; you articulate your thoughts on this highly stigmatised subject so well and with so much conviction. Thank you, Rhian, for yet another fantastic video. Lots of love xxx
I can’t say enough about you!!! You are such an incredible human being! I share the majority of your mental health videos on social media, because like you said they are probably some of the most important work you put out. I just adore you; your passion to help animals and people is astounding. I found you about a year and a half ago during one of the darkest times in my life and your videos made life just a little bit more bearable. I love all of your videos and I have found a lot of new goodies because of your recommendations, but my favorite videos you make are definitely your mental health ones by far! Thank you for being a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. 🖤
I’ve had anxiety and depression since I don’t know when but I always just “dealt with it” lately my anxiety has become worse and your channel has helped so much. I actually have my first ever therapy appointment next week, I found out my work has an employee assistance program where you can call and get acute mental health care at no cost to the employee. I encourage anyone else who may be deterred due to cost to see what programs your employer might offer. This program for instance is completely separate from my health insurance and is available to all employees and their families which I think is awesome!
I find it very difficult to talk about my mental health work wise. I’ve always felt that it makes employers think I might be less competent than others, which is true occasionally. I definitely struggle with this. Talking to friends / family has become much easier as the years go by even though it comes with a different set of challenges too like some people don’t understand, some keep forgetting or don’t wanna hear it. I find it hard too to not over share when It comes to social media... Thank you for sharing!
Great video. I think you’re so right, just be honest and upfront about it. After I had my son I had severe post partum depression. I felt like I wasn’t good enough to be a mother to this beautiful, innocent infant. When I finally talked to my OB about it at my 6 week check up, he reassured me that I wasn’t crazy. He said “Your brain is like any other organ, and sometimes it gets sick. If you came in today and you were yellow from jaundice, I wouldn’t say ‘whoa, your liver is crazy!’ We’d recognize there’s a problem that can most likely be helped with medication and go from there.” And that’s something that’s stuck with me. It’s not about being “crazy” it’s about our most important organ needing a little extra care to perform it’s best.
So glad you had that reassurance from a doctor Hayley! It can make the world of difference and stick with you for YEARS! I hope you and your little one are well
Rhian HY thank you, we are well and he is turning 4 in May. I can’t believe it! Thank you for all you do here on your channel, you’re helping so many people and you’re extremely brave for putting yourself out there.
It is so nice to hear and read dialog about mental health. I had to deal with all my issues for the first 20+ years pretty much alone. Not knowing that everyone didn't feel this way. I thought it was "normal". I have shed a few tears over watching your videos on this subject but I am so grateful that more and more people are open about it. Thank you.
i dont usually comment but i just wanted to say thank you for making these mental health videos. they were very helpful to me. im dealing with a couple of ptsds and grief at the moment so some days it gets really overwhelming to the point where it affects my daily life. before i always felt like mental health is not so important and that its not worth the money and effort. maybe it’s because of “suck it up” mentality i grew up in. but after watching your videos i changed my views on it. im finally starting to care more about my mental heath and making steps to find a therapist.
So excited for your collab with 100% pure! Congrats💚 and of course another helpful video. So glad you’ve been putting out a lot of content on mental health.
I so appreciate these videos, Rhian! They really helped me be more open to the idea of going to therapy. I had a bad experience in the past, but hearing you talk about seeing a therapist made me think it was worth another shot and now I go weekly to a therapist that I’m comfortable talking with and it has been so helpful for me. Finding the right therapist is soooo important.
I really needed exactly this today so thank you for talking about it. I called out of work because I just get so anxious before going. I told them I wasn’t feeling well and they asked my symptoms and I lied and said I was throwing up. I haven’t told them about my mental illness issues because I’m afraid I will loose my job and I can’t afford that. But I am going to try to work up the courage to talk to them about it now. Thank you!
Thank you so so much for this. Today is the lowest I've felt in a very long time and my mental help has really been declining. I've never talked much about it to the people around me because I've always been very closed off about my feeling but I think I need to start being more open because I can't do it alone anymore. I just signed up for better help as well. I actually feel hopeful about this so thank you so much again. I really needed this today.
i'm so proud of you for taking the steps to improve your mental health! i personally know how hard that can be, so i truly am proud of you for doing something that can be a difficult move to make. i hope you get everything you want out of therapy and more!!
Thank you so much! It was so helpful! 🙏🏻🌟 Sometimes I feel like I should not talk about it to others because I don’t want them to think I am selfish for always needing help 😕 I know it sounds childish but it can be hard to talk about deep things to people as some of them don’t understand and take it not seriously but I am working on it! 👍🏻
I love 100% Pure products. I think it's easier to talk about personal mental health issues on youtube, rather than talking about it to actual coworkers or friends. Especially for males. My son does not want to be "labeled" at work as the guy with a mental disorder. He reserves all his discussions with his therapist. His therapist suggests he doesn't talk about his ocd/depression with others because he feels it feeds his issues. I think every therapist is different, but my son's therapist is adamant that he not keep talking about his issues. It feeds my son's obsessional thinking.
That is an interesting one! It just goes to show the vast spectrum of mental illness issues and how we need to understand that MUCH more in order to live with them well. Wow, thank you for sharing that too. Knowing that in itself is going to be helpful to other people who have obsessive thinkers in their life!
It's rough seeing our son or daughters suffer with these kinds of things, or with anything for that matter. I bet you are a huge support to your son. Hope he is able to feel comfortable talking about his issues and feeling ok. 💛
Please totally do a blog/video about how having partner with mental illness or how being in relationship with both people having mental illnesses but different ones or sharing one but having others, etc!
Hey I just wanted to express my issues or concern with my mental health. I'm listening to you I'm only a little over 7 minutes and watching your video and I love that you do these mental health awareness videos. I have great support system from a handful of friends that I truly trust with my life. In addition I've been with my psychiatrist and therapist for a long time now and even with my close friends I don't feel comfortable really talking about my mental health like is something that I can never ever get comfortable talking about. Even though nobody in my circle is ever judging me but it is something that I just never felt comfortable to this day.
Have you ever talked with your therapist about opening up about it more? If you thought it was something you might like to tackle, they might be able to help you navigate it too. Its tough and i think we can be really hard on ourselves about this stuff and that can sometimes be the cause of finding it hard to open up. Something you should feel great about is that you did just open up to me about this! Might seem small or insignificant but i appreciate it
Rhian HY Thank you Rhian for that helpful piece of advice. Appreciate you even replying. Definitely wasn't expecting that. That means a lot. IDK, I've noticed that people who I don't know LOL, strangely enough I can open up to about my mental health. That's freaking crazy to me. Like all of my clothes friends it's still hard. They don't judge me at all they don't bring it up or nothing like that so it's really no need for me to talk about it to them too often. I think because they know that it's a very very sensitive topic for me. So they just let it be. They are utterly all ears if I feel the need to vent about any issues that is concerning me.
This is something that I’m currently struggling with. I’ve been wanting to include a couple of friends that I’ve kept out the loop for a while now in how I feel/am, but have been putting it up... I’m struggling with depression and have recently come to the conclusion that I absolutely would benefit from having their support - but then comes the question of how to tell them. When I’ve told people that I’m depressed in the past, they have responded with ”why” and then I don’t know what to answer. I just find it hard to explain to people with no experience of anything similar... So my question is really, how do I explain my depression to my friends? (I would also like to point out to them that I could use their support.)
this video made me cry , in a good way i guess. i really had suicidal thoughts and like i wasnt ok "mentally" , i dont think it was depression , it was something else , so i had intense intense thoughts , but thank god they were just "thoughts". after that came the first time that i talked to a family member about it. at first i was scared cuz wht if she thinks i'm psycho and wont like understand. but surprisingly she just excepted it and let me talk freely. i mean i'm still not ok mentally , but i'm getting over it slowely i guess. then i started to pour all of my thoughts in writing , so i started writing (not about mental health) but about woman , humans , love like any topic i wanna talk about. i started playing the piano. and now i'm planning to write on the walls in the street , it might not be a wise idea , but whatever its just a wall no one cares😂 thanks for your video ❤️
I really agree with talking to obgyns about things. I randomly told mine i was having chest xrays & mamograms for shooting chest pains bc my gp couldn't figure it out & she said 'oh that's normal around your period it's hormones'. They also helped me diagnose my pmdd which my gp shrugged his shoulders at as normal pms.
Thinking about this, and having started a new job I question whether I should tell my boss it will come up. I live with bipolar disorder and it does sometimes have a big impact on my work.
Unfortunately for me, 99% of my "family" has treated me like -I Am- a disease because of my depression, anxiety, ocd and bipolar problems. Ironically, they are half the reason I have these problems. Life is funny, isn't it.
Could you please recommend some European drugstore/ dm drugstore/ douglas/ lilly/ rossman cosmetic please? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I looove your videos but the products are not available here and it's so o frustrating..Rhian pleeasee heeelp 🙏💕🌹
Hi! Just as you probably have a hard time getting products i mention, i'll probably have a hard time getting ones you can. That said, MANY of the brands and items i mentioned are available in Europe online! If you have specific brands you're interested in , that might be helpful too! x
I’ve been referred to two different therapists twice by my family doctor but I’ve chickened out both times because it brings back bad memories of when I grew up going with my dad to his psychologist appointments...if anyone can give me some advice on how to overcome this nervousness I’d love to hear it. I’m sure I need therapy but I’m scared it will hurt more than help :(
My first thought is that... you can't make someone do something. But i know thats not super helpful so i guess with the limited info you gave, if you felt they could benefit from it, pointing out that you don't need to have something wrong in order to benefit from therapy might be a good idea.
This series has actually given me the courage to actually set up an appointment with a counselor. I can’t thank you enough
This gives me so much joy honestly! Motion is amazing!
This vid was spot on what I needed right now. Probably hanging around at your channel to an almost creepy amount at this point hahah, but whatevs.
What you do here is IMPORTANT. Xxx!
I am 69......finally was correctly diagnosed about six months ago. Been dealing with it all my life. So relieved to find out that I am (have?) Bi-polar. Explains a lot. Thanks for being so up front about mental health issues....first time in my life there is a light. Love.
Penny Tarr sending you ❤️ for enduring years of waiting and undo pain. Absorb and enjoy your new found light!
Cee Cee Thank you...I appreciate your thoughts....all there is, is light. Life is good.

Yes, please continue to make mental health videos. As always, I find them extremely helpful no matter what the status of my mental health.
I LOOOVE that you do videos on mental health! 💕
Gosh i just love them too honestly. Its something i can give freely.

Thank you for sharing this! Its something LOTS of others go through which doesn't make it easier but realizing ignoring it doesn't help is HUGE.

You're v welcome! Didn't see your reply until now.

Great advice and tips...💖

Exactly!! I'm so glad they could piece it together for you!
You never know how much some health issues can overlap so it always bears mentioning x
Great video!
Hey Rhian love your vlogs! I’m just wondering how you edit your vlogs?thanks for sharing your mental health experiences 😊🧘♀️
Thinking about this, and having started a new job I question whether I should tell my boss it will come up. I live with bipolar disorder and it does sometimes have a big impact on my work.
My favorite💖
Where's your cute sweatshirt from?
Unfortunately for me, 99% of my "family" has treated me like -I Am- a disease because of my depression, anxiety, ocd and bipolar problems. Ironically, they are half the reason I have these problems. Life is funny, isn't it.
so sorry you've had to deal with uncooperative family :( sending much love your way!!
Could you please recommend some European drugstore/ dm drugstore/ douglas/ lilly/ rossman cosmetic please? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I looove your videos but the products are not available here and it's so o frustrating..Rhian pleeasee heeelp 🙏💕🌹
Hi! Just as you probably have a hard time getting products i mention, i'll probably have a hard time getting ones you can.
That said, MANY of the brands and items i mentioned are available in Europe online!
If you have specific brands you're interested in , that might be helpful too! x
Rhian HY oh, ill do my best to get them online, I really have some in particular I liked from your videos!✌🌺🌹 Thanks Rhian!
I’ve been referred to two different therapists twice by my family doctor but I’ve chickened out both times because it brings back bad memories of when I grew up going with my dad to his psychologist appointments...if anyone can give me some advice on how to overcome this nervousness I’d love to hear it. I’m sure I need therapy but I’m scared it will hurt more than help :(
How do you get someone to go to therapy or counseling if they don't admit they have any issues?
My first thought is that... you can't make someone do something.
But i know thats not super helpful so i guess with the limited info you gave, if you felt they could benefit from it, pointing out that you don't need to have something wrong in order to benefit from therapy might be a good idea.
Thank you. That is helpful as simple as it is. ❤️👍
