Literally not even trying to exaggerate but you just saved me.. i never felt valid i never thought my feelings were valid I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety since elementary school as well. I never thought my feelings were true until this video and I’m 21 and I’m still scared to admit it to my self I’m scared to ask for help but thanks to you I want to ask for her. ❤️
I just wanted to let you know I was afraid to admit it to myself also. I’m 27, going on 28 and finally getting help (first therapy visit tomorrow) I’m anxious and nervous all at the same time because I’ve never opened up to anyone about my issues, I usually suffer in silence.. I just wanted to let you know it takes time, it doesn’t change over night. Just have to take it day by day & You’ll know when your ready.
@@ally_h8742 thank you so much this means a lot to me and yes I will take it day by day until I’m ready and good luck in your therapy session!!! YOU GOT THIS!! sending positivity and a bunch of love!!
I feel you so much , I’m always try to put my feelings to the side but nope that hasn’t turned out well . And the anxiety as a child was so bad that I’m 21 and still trying to push through it . I send you love & so much strength to get through what your feeling . And your feelings are valid ❤️. @Karina Gonzalez
if someone didn't tell u already u worth it,ily even if u don't know me and i genuinely appreciate u and u are doing amazing.every little thing will be alright so keep going and remember that It is scientifically proved that if u are really bad right now u will be good maybe soon too i m here for u i know what u are going trough but pls ilysm feel free to talk to me,i am not telling u to underestimate ur things,go to a doctor or stuff is not something that is bad or like... U ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I WANNA SCREAM AT THE WORLD THIS BC IT'S WORTH IT AND U ARE WORTH IT AT LEAST FOR THIS STRANGER THAT LITERALLY LOVES YOU SO MUCH,when you want to die you have to strive to live as much as you you want to to die,trust GOD.GOD Bless us.Amen
if it helps maybe think of someone you really love and every detail about them and tell yourself that there’s no way that it can’t be real because there’s so many little details about them yk what i mean? it seems to help me when i’m stuck in that mindset and start thinking we’re in a simulation or something lol
regardless if you’re here now and don’t come back in a month, two months, 4 months, a year.. I will be back watching your new upload. and I think I can speak on behalf of all of us. we love you, pls take your time and care for yourself cause we all can’t wait for that day when you finally get to say you overcame this. 💜
My baby sister has scoliosis and she wears a brace as well. I take her to all her appointments and I seen the mental and emotional strain this diagnosis has on her and my heart crumbles. My heart goes out to you hun because I’m right by her every step of the way 🥰
that part where you say ur almost 18 and its bonkers that you are here, i agree 100% bc you are aware that you made it this far and you should be proud because here i am and even iiiii cant believe it but like if i finally got better this year then i truly believe you can too
okay girl but the growth u exuded in this video! u never owe us an explanation, but ur so strong to talk about this. i wish there were more people open about this so i wouldn’t have felt so alone when i was younger. i’m 26 so i feel like a grandma here 💀 but honestly being open gives others the courage to talk about it either to you or to someone else like a doctor, and trust me ✨it helps✨
i feel you so much. I turned 21 this year, and the night before my birthday, i cried because i couldn’t believethat i was turning 21, the fact that i’ve been fighting for so long made me so proud of turning 21, and you should feel proud too. it’s cheesy to say but things do get better, it’s an extremely tough journey, but bby it’s not impossible. sending you lots of love from chile❤️
hi rachel ive really been struggling with depression and anxiety recently and this literally made me tear up because this made me feel less alone. thank you sm for making this love you
Hey, to anyone seeing this whether is Rachel or a subscriber or just someone who's clicked on this video. You're very strong, to have made it this far and to get through what's happening. I know it isn't easy, trust me but I'm so very proud of everyone and I hope you guys know that there is support online, that we are here for each other. Thank you Rachel for this, I think a lot of us needed this especially in this time xxx
Its so refreshing to have people on UA-cam be so upfront about this topic /topics. And everything you've said i can totally relate to and it is an exhausting journey for everyone who experiences it, whether its big or small in the eyes of society, to a singular person, its their entire thing they deal with ... ty Rachel ty x (ALSO THE CORALiNE EARRINGS R FIRE)
This video made me break down in tears for a strange reason, it’s so good to know that others understand and can feel the way you do. I’ve always struggled with depression and I just feel like it’s never valid enough because my family, doctors and friends have told me I’m being dramatic even though I’m diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I really hope you can find hapiness
i really really really appreciate you talking about self harm! i just relapsed a few days ago after being clean for almost 2 years. it was a super low moment and i felt so ashamed because I'd worked so hard for so long to stop doing it. I also don't know anyone in my life who (that i know of) struggles with it too, so i feel really embarrassed and like I'm crazy. even though i don't know you personally, I've always looked at you as someone I wanted to be like so badly, so its soooo comforting to know that you have the same struggles as me. thank you for being so open about all of this
Thank you for talking about this. I've been feeling so lost & alone this year. a week ago I went to my doctor and told her I was feeling suicidal again but realistically there's nothing she could do to help and she just sort of sighed and nodded that I was right. It really sucks in the uk and theres no mental health help. It's so empowering to hear you talk about your own struggles, especially as they're current and recent, and I really just wanted to tell you that you're not alone. I struggled with sh for years and honestly still think about it almost daily but I promise there will be a point where you find other ways to feel and to deal. Something that helped me was not counting the days without hurting myself because doing so made it sound like I was waiting to relapse, even one day clean is worth celebrating and messing up is okay. sending you lots of happy thoughts xxx
i relate to this so much. i always had anxiety growing up in elementary school and middle school, but i didn't know what that was. then high school hit and it got so much worse and now i'm a mess.
thank you for talking about it! People easily think talking about your depression is asking for attention and you just gave me so much validation:) My friends don’t really respond when i mention anything about my feelings
i’ve been watching your videos since 2017! i’ve seen you grow into who you are, and its like having a little sister. i’ve been struggling with my personal mental health journey as well, and quite recently i finally got help. i completely understand how it is. you’re so strong, rachel, we are all proud of u. love u to bits. ♡
I can't tell you how much I needed to hear what you said about how feelings are always valid, I've had my feelings invalidated way too many times and can't even explain how much it hurts. I've also struggled so much with invalidating my own feelings surrounding my mental health and feeling like I don't have the grounds to feel this sad, or haven't gone through enough to discuss my struggles. I literally can't thank you enough. ily ❤
this means so much to me. i struggle w/ depression, anxiety... literally a lot of what you go through and it's hard talking or relating to the thoughts that go through my head. my best friend is someone i talk to and sometimes she just does not get it and will tell me "it could be worse," which btw if ppl don't know ... that's a v invalidating phrase to tell someone who's struggling w mental health. anyway, rachel thank you for opening up it truly means a lot
not many youtubers are THIS open and you have no idea how important this felt to me💗ive had depression since i was in 3 or 4 grade and i wanted to end it when i was 10. and yeah it’s crazy to think we still here 💗ily rachel
I hope she posts more. She makes me so happy and lately its been hard for me mentally and just hearing her talk about her struggles helps me if that makes any sense.
You are amazing, you are phenomenal, you are beautiful, you are thriving. Don’t put any pressure on yourself to have to sit here and rush an explanation to us. Everything is a process and you’re working through it at your own pace and you’re doing beautiful for someone who’s going through so much. And we appreciate you for taking the time to talk about your experience with us it has personally helped me with mine in so many ways and anytime you’re down I just want you to remember how many peoples lives you’ve shown your light into when we had darkness🤍🤍🤍we’ll be here for you when you reach your peak of success and we’ll stay with you through the road to get there
Rachel just know you are important to me, whenever I see your video pop up on my subscription box I get so excited. I too have gone through really bad depression 2 years ago, self harmed myself and it also lead to suicidal thoughts. My life felt like a never ending loop and I just didn’t have any point to live anymore. Eventually I found things that distracted me and it eventually went away. I’m not in that place of my life anymore. All I’m saying is you’re also not alone and things will get better I promise you, even though it really doesn’t feel like it TRUST ME. Take it day by day❤️
Ive been watching you since I was 16... I’m about to be 20 with a 2 year old. I too dealt with depression and anxiety ... Im proud to say I don’t really deal with depression anymore. Anxiety YES but!! It DOES get better mama. Im living proof. I hated my life so much. I really didn’t see myself making it to 18. But here I am. I’m rooting for you!!! Keep on keeping on!💗
I've always felt like my feelings aren't valid. That what I'm going through it that bad. I always looked at my feelings that someone else out there is going through worse. I don't have anyone who understands my depression and anxiety. Listening to you brought me to tears because you inspire me that I can get through. I think mental illness is such a unnoticed topic. I appreciate that you take your time to make sure your supporters are not alone.
I never ever think your glamorizing your mental health. It actually made me more comfortable knowing that someone felt similar things which made me more comfortable asking for therapy. You also remind me that my feelings matter even though I suppress them because I don’t want people thinking I’m crazy. ❤️
PLEASE READ!!!! I cant believe I've come across this video. Since I've gone back into school my anxiety has been really,really hard to the point where i don't even go into school. I've missed 3 mock exams due to my anxiety and i started back in school last Tuesday and its a week later and i have gone to school 2 times. I also struggle with stress and depression and watching this video has made me feel so much better as i know i'm not alone right now and that MY EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS ARE VALID!!!!! I just want anyone that is struggling right now that things will get better and you and your mental health matters. You are doing amazing and remember to take time for yourself and do the things you like to do!! Remember to talk to someone about how you feel as your mental health matters. I hope y'all get through what you're going through and remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!
so many things happen in life like hard things and still now after so many things i feel like i am the weakest person in the world i love you Rachel and wow you are sooooooo pretty
Thank you for uploading this video, you help me validate and accept my own feelings in the best way possible. Seeing somebody else who has started to their mental health struggle at a young age like me gives me hope and makes me feel less lonely. : )
thank you so much. we are all so proud of you. im so happy that youre here, and we are all here for you! talking about mental health is something that influencers try to shut out or talk about briefly, we all appreciate your genuine concern for anyone struggling with these things. again thank you!!! we love you rachel!!
You are such an amazing person, Rachel. I don't ever want you to change the person you are. You are so genuine and down to earth and considerate of others. Bringing this topic up on the internet takes insane amounts of guts and bravery. Stay true to you love!
i like authentic people WAY more than people who make it seem like their life is perfect. you are someone we can relate to that makes us feel better about not being perfect.
Rachel you need to speak about these things! I understand why you're hesitant, but you've done a great way of balancing the heavy subjects and the comedy. I've been watching you since the beginning and have watched everything you've gone through, and I'm always here rooting for you! Thank you for speaking your mind and being honest! ❤❤
hi rachel ! you mean so much to me and others, genuinely. i’ve been watching your videos and following you for years and watching you grow and change into who you are now has been so cool. I can relate to so many of your experiences with mental health and it really makes me feel less alone. you deserve the world, and I hope that you continue to get closer to being truly content and happy !! your feelings are valid, and you are loved by so many people. you’re doing an amazing job !
hey queenie i have been watching your videos since 2017, and it has been amazing basically growing up with you. i always feel like u are speaking directly to me lol , thank u for posting this because it is comforting as i am literally going through some of my worst mental health moments in my ~ life ~ . i hope u know the positive and loving impact u have on all of our lives
Thank you so much for this video. You don’t know how helpful and comforting you are! I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety as well, but seeing someone actually talking about it and relating to it helps so much. Thank you so much angel! And good luck and blessings to you🥺💕
I have scoliosis, had deppresion and i still have anxiety. I know how you feel girl. Trust me it gets better. I was realy bad and now i feel good most of the time. I still struggle sometimes but its okay.
hearing someone speaking about self harm especially is so idk it’s hard to say the right word but just thank you !! it is SUCH a taboo still (even tho it shouldn’t be) as it is a coping mechanism at the time and ppl just don’t understand. so thank you. also I am sending you so much love girl, you are such a light in this world x x x
I’m going to come to video everytime I’m feeling down bc I don’t feel alone whenever I watch Rachel’s videos. I also feel like I have a friend...yk like it’s the way she’s talks to the camera that I feel like she’s talking to me
this video just made my day rachel and i’m so happy you feel comfortable to talk to us about anything you were one of the main reasons i finally went to a therapist and psychiatrist :,) when you were talking about your history with mental health and i really relate to you. like i’ve always struggled with my mental health since elementary school and it really sucks that i’ve heard so many people talk about harming themselves at a young age because i did too but i didn’t notice that i was. i’m seriously so proud of you rachel, you’ve come so far and days will get better 🤍🤍
I wish I could give u a hug and tell me how proud of I am of you in person. You’re setting an amazing example for people struggling with this and showing them they should never give up. So many people would never be able to talk about these topics and the fact that you’re struggling and still try to work on yourself and try to help others is amazing. thank you for being amazing I love you💜
i love watching you because i can relate to you so much and i dont feel as alone. i like hearing how you try to cope with your feelings because that is something i struggle with. i really am grateful you talk about your experiences to help others, love you
I call this the tortoise and the hare effect, you feel like your not accomplishing any thing at the “normal” speed so you try to amp up your energy to get things done but get burned out cause the energy you have is not matching what you need to actually do anything. Don’t feel guilty or sad for not getting a certain amount of work done or even not working right now it just might not be where you’re supposed to be and that’s out of your control, we all process things at different speeds so you might actually be at the speed you need to be doing things, circumstances are always a factor too, setbacks aren’t always our fault but can be the fault of the environment we’re in. So for anyone feeling like their behind in living you’re actually right on time🙏
i love your videos. i’ve been watching them for so long and this video is the reason i love u. i can relate to u so much and u literally are speaking how i feel in words i can’t even process
posting this can be so hard for most so i wanna say i’m so proud of u :’) i’m sorry glad ur still here and fighting. your heart is so big and seeing ur face makes ME smile. i hope u know how great u are under all the gunk in your brain :(
Seeing your beautiful face makes me so happy! So excited to watch and hear what's on your mind! Love you girl! Mental health such an important topic! ❤️🙌🏻
honestly rachel thank u for saying the thing about feelings being valid no matter what size. u said u didnt know how we perceived u and personally i really relate. ive struggled w my mental health since i was little too and sometimes ill watch ur videos when ur being honest about how ur feeling and i feel better knowing im not alone.
I love u so much rachel- u posting recently has brought me so much comfort and happiness, your internet presence has never been anything but kind and I’m just so proud of u and grateful for u
omg i watched you when i was in middle school n finding you again, and you just telling me my feelings are valid like today at this moment when i needed it, thank you so much!! you are so beautiful and such a strong person!!🖤
im crying right now. thank you. I always feel bad because my friend goes through so much and he is always smiling and nothing has happened to me and im so so sad. thank you for this. thank you so much Rachel I truly love these videos I hope you get better love you girl
i really like the way you explained that all feelings are valid and more people need to hear that, and so did i. so thank you for being so open to speak on these topics. ily
i've been following u for years and our charts are almost exactly the same :) you talking about ur mental health encouraged me to go back to therapy years ago
You literally give me such inspiration. I completely understand what your going through. I have been going through it for months now and it’s like I have the resources and it still doesn’t make it any better. Like sometimes I’ll just cry for hours. I haven’t done school in 3 weeks and our new quarter started 3 weeks ago😭. But I’m trying which is all that matters.
Rachel is truly my favorite person ever! She makes me feel like my mental health is valid and I truly feel like we’re besties or something! Honestly love her so much and so thankful for her 🥺🥺
i can relate to having a break down from my first job, but it was only a temporary job, and a customer being rude to me basically bullying me, made me feel stupid and cry after. im in therapy now and its going good, im doing online college im 20 now and i watched you when i was a teen from your scoliosis as i have it too, you really remind me of my younger cousin who’s your age 😊
I’ve been watching your videos since the ending of 2017, I was so amazed at your makeup skills . I really enjoy watching your videos & in a weird way I see you as my little sister, so when I started seeing you become less happy it hurt me ? I know it seems weird but I really care about you ! I know what it’s like to be dealing with mental illness , it’s exhausting & draining 🙃I’m really happy you’re still here , you got this girl 💙
The thing that bothers me most is when people think I’m using my mental illness as an excuse.. it makes me feel like I’m supposed to pretend it isn’t affecting me the way that it is. But this video helps validate!!
ive been watching you since you had 10k and ive always looked up to you. we've talked a few times and youve always been the sweetest. hearing you talk about issues i struggle with and saying that its ok to feel like this and my feelings are valid means alot. much love and i hope youre doing well
i have been watching you for years and i’ve just gotta say, this video was so important and i’m so grateful for your validation. i’ve always liked your personality and i love how you take a sincere approach to mental health, you’re helping so many people
Thank you so much for opening up about your mental health. I’ve struggled w sh too and it helps a lot to know I’m not alone. I know it’s hard to talk about these types of things without triggering others, and I can only speak for myself, but I think you did so in a very productive way. Ily🖤
Ty for being transparent I think it’s important to talk about mental health. I’ve been struggling a lot with I think anxiety and depression. It’s hard for me to open up in therapy. Prayer has been helping me. I will pray to Jesus he gives you healing. Thanks for the vid 💖
ILYYY RACHEL ur sooooo strong ik you can overcome anything, i deal w really bad anxiety and depression as well and it’s been extremely hard this week but im pushing through it:)
I understand everything you said, it’ll be okay and thank you for sharing this will really help people feel less alone and something to relate to, we are here for you you got this
the way that almost everything you described about the way you feel describes MY feelings almost exactly is actually insane to me... a lot of people invalidate me but it's really nice to know there's others who feel the same way, thank you for this video rachel xo -also we're both libras explains some things i suppose XD
i loved this video so much it helped me feel so valid my mom is so mad at me for failing all my classes but i literally have no motivation i wish i could just give you a huge hug you made me feel so important❤️
Rachel’s piercings: *the limit does not exist*
i love her freaking earrings omllll, where do you get them rachel, go ahead, drop da link
Lindsey Lohan much? 😂
i love rachel sm, she doesn’t owe us an explanation but she’s so sweet and considerate 🥺
hearing you talk about how there’s no checkpoints to be sad makes me so happy thank you girly
You literally made me feel better about my depression and anxiety. Because everyone's feelings do matter. Thank you so much for bringing it up 💞
Literally not even trying to exaggerate but you just saved me.. i never felt valid i never thought my feelings were valid I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety since elementary school as well.

do you ever get that weird feeling and then u ask urself -
is this real ? why am i living ? what’s the point ?
just me?...okay
You're not the only one!
Yes, this happens to me a lot too 😔✌🏽
I have this multiple times a day

Rachel just know you are important to me, whenever I see your video pop up on my subscription box I get so excited. I too have gone through really bad depression 2 years ago, self harmed myself and it also lead to suicidal thoughts. My life felt like a never ending loop and I just didn’t have any point to live anymore. Eventually I found things that distracted me and it eventually went away. I’m not in that place of my life anymore. All I’m saying is you’re also not alone and things will get better I promise you, even though it really doesn’t feel like it TRUST ME. Take it day by day❤️
Ive been watching you since I was 16... I’m about to be 20 with a 2 year old. I too dealt with depression and anxiety ... Im proud to say I don’t really deal with depression anymore. Anxiety YES but!! It DOES get better mama. Im living proof. I hated my life so much. I really didn’t see myself making it to 18. But here I am. I’m rooting for you!!! Keep on keeping on!💗
it's hard to talk about these type of things that people don't really talk about so i'm happy you're being really upfront. :)
I've always felt like my feelings aren't valid. That what I'm going through it that bad. I always looked at my feelings that someone else out there is going through worse. I don't have anyone who understands my depression and anxiety. Listening to you brought me to tears because you inspire me that I can get through. I think mental illness is such a unnoticed topic. I appreciate that you take your time to make sure your supporters are not alone.
I never ever think your glamorizing your mental health. It actually made me more comfortable knowing that someone felt similar things which made me more comfortable asking for therapy. You also remind me that my feelings matter even though I suppress them because I don’t want people thinking I’m crazy. ❤️
keep your head up angel, you're doing great. remember everything passes, your feelings are always valid. make sure to take care of yourself baby
PLEASE READ!!!!
I cant believe I've come across this video. Since I've gone back into school my anxiety has been really,really hard to the point where i don't even go into school. I've missed 3 mock exams due to my anxiety and i started back in school last Tuesday and its a week later and i have gone to school 2 times. I also struggle with stress and depression and watching this video has made me feel so much better as i know i'm not alone right now and that MY EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS ARE VALID!!!!! I just want anyone that is struggling right now that things will get better and you and your mental health matters. You are doing amazing and remember to take time for yourself and do the things you like to do!! Remember to talk to someone about how you feel as your mental health matters. I hope y'all get through what you're going through and remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!
so many things happen in life like hard things and still now after so many things i feel like i am the weakest person in the world
i love you Rachel and wow you are sooooooo pretty
Thank you for uploading this video, you help me validate and accept my own feelings in the best way possible. Seeing somebody else who has started to their mental health struggle at a young age like me gives me hope and makes me feel less lonely. : )
thank you so much. we are all so proud of you. im so happy that youre here, and we are all here for you! talking about mental health is something that influencers try to shut out or talk about briefly, we all appreciate your genuine concern for anyone struggling with these things. again thank you!!! we love you rachel!!
You are such an amazing person, Rachel. I don't ever want you to change the person you are. You are so genuine and down to earth and considerate of others. Bringing this topic up on the internet takes insane amounts of guts and bravery. Stay true to you love!
i like authentic people WAY more than people who make it seem like their life is perfect. you are someone we can relate to that makes us feel better about not being perfect.
Rachel you need to speak about these things! I understand why you're hesitant, but you've done a great way of balancing the heavy subjects and the comedy. I've been watching you since the beginning and have watched everything you've gone through, and I'm always here rooting for you! Thank you for speaking your mind and being honest! ❤❤
hi rachel ! you mean so much to me and others, genuinely. i’ve been watching your videos and following you for years and watching you grow and change into who you are now has been so cool. I can relate to so many of your experiences with mental health and it really makes me feel less alone. you deserve the world, and I hope that you continue to get closer to being truly content and happy !! your feelings are valid, and you are loved by so many people. you’re doing an amazing job !
hey queenie i have been watching your videos since 2017, and it has been amazing basically growing up with you. i always feel like u are speaking directly to me lol , thank u for posting this because it is comforting as i am literally going through some of my worst mental health moments in my ~ life ~ . i hope u know the positive and loving impact u have on all of our lives
such a pure human
the way i've come back to this video three times for comfort
you are a breath of fresh air. proud of your strength. keep it up.
Thank you so much for this video. You don’t know how helpful and comforting you are! I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety as well, but seeing someone actually talking about it and relating to it helps so much. Thank you so much angel! And good luck and blessings to you🥺💕
I have scoliosis, had deppresion and i still have anxiety. I know how you feel girl. Trust me it gets better. I was realy bad and now i feel good most of the time. I still struggle sometimes but its okay.
you helped me get through so much, i hope things get alot better soon. i love you and i care about you!💕
hearing someone speaking about self harm especially is so idk it’s hard to say the right word but just thank you !! it is SUCH a taboo still (even tho it shouldn’t be) as it is a coping mechanism at the time and ppl just don’t understand. so thank you. also I am sending you so much love girl, you are such a light in this world x x x
I’m going to come to video everytime I’m feeling down bc I don’t feel alone whenever I watch Rachel’s videos. I also feel like I have a friend...yk like it’s the way she’s talks to the camera that I feel like she’s talking to me
this video just made my day rachel and i’m so happy you feel comfortable to talk to us about anything
you were one of the main reasons i finally went to a therapist and psychiatrist :,)
when you were talking about your history with mental health and i really relate to you. like i’ve always struggled with my mental health since elementary school and it really sucks that i’ve heard so many people talk about harming themselves at a young age because i did too but i didn’t notice that i was.
i’m seriously so proud of you rachel, you’ve come so far and days will get better 🤍🤍
I wish I could give u a hug and tell me how proud of I am of you in person. You’re setting an amazing example for people struggling with this and showing them they should never give up. So many people would never be able to talk about these topics and the fact that you’re struggling and still try to work on yourself and try to help others is amazing. thank you for being amazing I love you💜
i love watching you because i can relate to you so much and i dont feel as alone. i like hearing how you try to cope with your feelings because that is something i struggle with. i really am grateful you talk about your experiences to help others, love you
I call this the tortoise and the hare effect, you feel like your not accomplishing any thing at the “normal” speed so you try to amp up your energy to get things done but get burned out cause the energy you have is not matching what you need to actually do anything. Don’t feel guilty or sad for not getting a certain amount of work done or even not working right now it just might not be where you’re supposed to be and that’s out of your control, we all process things at different speeds so you might actually be at the speed you need to be doing things, circumstances are always a factor too, setbacks aren’t always our fault but can be the fault of the environment we’re in. So for anyone feeling like their behind in living you’re actually right on time🙏
i love your videos. i’ve been watching them for so long and this video is the reason i love u. i can relate to u so much and u literally are speaking how i feel in words i can’t even process
posting this can be so hard for most so i wanna say i’m so proud of u :’) i’m sorry glad ur still here and fighting. your heart is so big and seeing ur face makes ME smile. i hope u know how great u are under all the gunk in your brain :(
Seeing your beautiful face makes me so happy! So excited to watch and hear what's on your mind! Love you girl! Mental health such an important topic! ❤️🙌🏻
I love you keep putting yourself in uncomfortable situations or something you fear it helps your anxiety don’t give up 💕💕💕

thank you so much for saying feelings are valid, no one in my life has ever told me that and it feels so good to hear.
you’re such a strong, intelligent, and pretty person inside and out rachel ! never ever forget that
i really like the way you explained that all feelings are valid and more people need to hear that, and so did i. so thank you for being so open to speak on these topics. ily
i've been following u for years and our charts are almost exactly the same :) you talking about ur mental health encouraged me to go back to therapy years ago
YOU ARE SOOO SWEET AND PURE 🥺 I literally love you so so much you deserve the world!! We’re here for you take care luvvv 💖
I love you rachel. your feelings are always valid and thank you for making this a safe space for all people. you’re truly amazing

You are so worth it! I’m glad you’re here pretty
we’re all here for u if u need to speak to us about anything, take as much time as u need when ur not feeling urself ❤️
You literally give me such inspiration. I completely understand what your going through. I have been going through it for months now and it’s like I have the resources and it still doesn’t make it any better. Like sometimes I’ll just cry for hours. I haven’t done school in 3 weeks and our new quarter started 3 weeks ago😭. But I’m trying which is all that matters.
dude i literally love you sm rachel, you don’t understand how much better this video made my day🖤🖤
I love you Rachel, you are so strong for even sharing something you didn’t have to share. I love you videos and will always be here to support you❤️
Rachel is truly my favorite person ever! She makes me feel like my mental health is valid and I truly feel like we’re besties or something! Honestly love her so much and so thankful for her 🥺🥺
rachel omggg girl i missed your content sm🥺 you’re such an inspiration i hope you’re doing well
i can relate to having a break down from my first job, but it was only a temporary job, and a customer being rude to me basically bullying me, made me feel stupid and cry after. im in therapy now and its going good, im doing online college im 20 now and i watched you when i was a teen from your scoliosis as i have it too, you really remind me of my younger cousin who’s your age 😊
I’ve been watching your videos since the ending of 2017, I was so amazed at your makeup skills . I really enjoy watching your videos & in a weird way I see you as my little sister, so when I started seeing you become less happy it hurt me ? I know it seems weird but I really care about you ! I know what it’s like to be dealing with mental illness , it’s exhausting & draining 🙃I’m really happy you’re still here , you got this girl 💙
The thing that bothers me most is when people think I’m using my mental illness as an excuse.. it makes me feel like I’m supposed to pretend it isn’t affecting me the way that it is. But this video helps validate!!
ive been watching you since you had 10k and ive always looked up to you. we've talked a few times and youve always been the sweetest. hearing you talk about issues i struggle with and saying that its ok to feel like this and my feelings are valid means alot. much love and i hope youre doing well
thank you for being so vulnerable
i have been watching you for years and i’ve just gotta say, this video was so important and i’m so grateful for your validation. i’ve always liked your personality and i love how you take a sincere approach to mental health, you’re helping so many people
Thank you so much for opening up about your mental health. I’ve struggled w sh too and it helps a lot to know I’m not alone. I know it’s hard to talk about these types of things without triggering others, and I can only speak for myself, but I think you did so in a very productive way. Ily🖤
literally love rachel so much , one of the most comforting and understand people ever i just want the best for her 🥺 missed your grwms a ton girly !
Ty for being transparent I think it’s important to talk about mental health. I’ve been struggling a lot with I think anxiety and depression. It’s hard for me to open up in therapy. Prayer has been helping me. I will pray to Jesus he gives you healing. Thanks for the vid 💖
Keep going Rachel I watched u for years u help me through my anxiety and depression U matter so much!
Okay girl I need a video on how you keep your face so clear and maintain it!🥰
ILYYY RACHEL ur sooooo strong ik you can overcome anything, i deal w really bad anxiety and depression as well and it’s been extremely hard this week but im pushing through it:)
I understand everything you said, it’ll be okay and thank you for sharing this will really help people feel less alone and something to relate to, we are here for you you got this
I wanna watch this video all day
love you so much girlie!! its so nice to hear you talk about mental health lets break the stigma :)
the way that almost everything you described about the way you feel describes MY feelings almost exactly is actually insane to me... a lot of people invalidate me but it's really nice to know there's others who feel the same way, thank you for this video rachel xo -also we're both libras explains some things i suppose XD
Can I just say how freaking happy I am by your growth.. WE SEE IT + U ARE SO LOVED 🧚♀️💖💘
i loved this video so much it helped me feel so valid my mom is so mad at me for failing all my classes but i literally have no motivation i wish i could just give you a huge hug you made me feel so important❤️
