    I’m 45 and have heard of Bobbi and even watched some of her episodes. This is such a refreshing side of her. So raw and vulnerable, thank you

      There is something about being a victim so much that isn't very healthy. Also, I feel, it is oversharing. Other than taking pity to her I do not think I can learn anything from this.

    Bobbi, thank you for sharing your story. My heart hurts for the little girl that just wanted to be loved, valued, and craved stability. I can relate to that. I too also struggle with anxiety and have as long as I can remember. The only thing that keeps me rooted is Christ. He has pulled me from the deepest and darkest pits and placed me on solid ground. His love chased after me relentlessly and I’m so thankful. I believe God is doing the same for you Bobbi. What a treasure you are to him. You are more valuable than rubies to him Bobbi. Your life has purpose, the plans he has for you are good! If I could encourage you with anything, it would be to fully submit your life to Christ. I’m telling you, nothing ever fulfilled me like Christ. No drug, no alcohol, no person could ever satisfy me like him. I believe he is still chasing after you and wants a deeper relationship with you. I pray God bless you and keep you and your family. What a testimony you already have but I look forward to what is to come for you. ❤️

      You can’t deny you have a conscience, ears eyes mouth nose and working legs arms and organs. All made so intricately if one thing was out of place it could cause death. Yet God Made You In His Own Image. it’s up to you to make that decision if you want to accept his only begotten Son’s sacrifice. How he rode on a donkey because it’s the only animal with a cross, and how he was pierced for Sins. He knew what he was doing and he even asked the Father if his will be to take this cup from him because it was burdensome. He still said Let Thy Will Be Done and was tortured for His Flock Israel (Spiritual Israel). HalleluYah I Pray That Spirit of anxiety be lifted off you In Jesus Mighty Name Amen🙏🏽❤️🩸✝️📖 We Are Healed By His Stripes🙏🏽❤️ Come As You Are Just Don’t Stay Dat Way Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind which Comes From The Word Of God. Faith Comes By Hearing And Hearing the word of God🙏🏽📖✝️ He Who Endures to the end shall receive the crown of life👑🏃💨

    Suicide survivor here , the one thing that keeps me going in my depression is telling myself, I am not alone and someone needs me even though I don’t see it . I’m struggling so bad currently, always in the winter, holidays really ramp things up for me . I need help and direction and all of my closest friends and family have recently past on,in the last 5 yrs. I died on the operating table , I don’t fear death ,which doesn’t help the matter. Thank you Rain for your podcast and the heart felt discussions.

    I lost my best friend Nancy due to I believe post partum depression 8 months after her baby girl Evelyn was born.. Nancy struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts her entire life, but I know her baby girl was a breathe of fresh hope and light to her.. She loved Evelyn with everything in her. But ultimately Nancy had demons that would not leave. I hope wherever she is now, she’s at peace, free of it all - and watching over Evelyn and giggling how much her little girl resembles so much of her. Rest in peace Nancy.❤️ Evelyn is now 3 and looks so much like you. Evelyn will forever be reminded about how wonderful her mother was, and how deeply her momma loves her.
    This pod with Bobbi was wonderful, Rainn. So thankful I found your podcast. It's very grounding and very helpful to know we are all not so alone.

    Wow. I relate to her upbringing so much. From divorced parents, to the Father with a temper, suicidal mother, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and overall chaotic environment she lived in, it's like she's telling my story to a tee. And she really hit the nail on the had when she talked about her parents saying the meanest things imaginable to her. I have similar memories like that that will unfortunately be seared into my mind forever. I appreciate her sharing that and I'm glad she overcame it.

    Depression i have found, is not so much being sad, but like she said, hopelessness for the future. It's one of the worst feelings i experience on a regular basis. One thing that has been a huge help, aside from my faith in Christ, is something called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). It's a bit odd, new age-ish looking, but it's worked wonders for pulling me out of those funks. I highly recommend it. Great interview. Mental health is something we should all discuss often.

    I’m 60 years old so I’ve seen a LITTLE bit of everything… and she just “has it” .. that “something” .. she has an endearing draw .
    Wishing her and her girls all the happiness the world can offer! ❤

    I’ve never actually thought Bobbi was awkward and could never imagine her not fitting in she seeks to have quite a magnetic personality.
    Love the vulnerability and normalizing that fact that people just go through shit. This is life. This is the human experience and with the bad there is good and vice versa.

    Bobbi I felt like how you felt in school and I still do. My mind freaks out when it shouldn’t be.
    It is kind of comforting hearing someone else say they feel like I do everyday. It gives me this tiny hope that things can get better in life and lets me know I’m not alone and that other people feel like how I do. If I didn’t have Jesus, I wouldn’t have made it this far because dealing with anxiety everyday is so exhausting in every way!
    The part we’re you said you get worse after drinking and the next day is just depressing is so true but I feel all the anxiety go away when I first start drinking but I know it’s no good for my body, mind, and spirit so I’ve been trying to stop doing that.

    What Bobbi does, reminds me of Zach Galifianakis (between 2 ferns), not to say she ripped it off, sounds like she didn't; she probably has never seen it. My point is, to me, Zach has always represented genius level shit by way of a similar form. My opinion: she shares high company of praise and rarified air with Zach G.
