don’t. stop. talking. about. this. ITS SO IMPORTANT. i promise that even though these aren’t the videos that perform well; they are the videos that are gonna change someone’s perspective, change their life. so many people need this information and might not have access to therapy or dbt specifically. this really encouraged me and i hope you know how incredible it is that you took the time to document and put this together for the well-being of your viewers. please keep it up💗
I’m sorry that UA-cam doesn’t push these videos as much. You’re one of a few proper “influencers” who I watch because I appreciate your candor. Please don’t stop making the content you want create 😊
I agree. I came back specially to leave a bunch of comments so maybe it will do better😅
I AGREE!! 🔥🔥
Agree
Please keep posting more videos like this!
To anyone with adhd or c/ptsd or other conditions that get in the way... some of these tips don't work for us - that's ok. What I learned in therapy is to roll with the tips and strategies that do work for me, like challenging my assumptions and asking myself what evidence I have etc. I'm so glad that Alana found ways to make it work for her. I love that the stigma is slowly getting reduced.
That said, does anyone have other tips they want to share for cptsd and adhd?
Alana...you posted this video during one of the hardest times of my life. I'm working on fighting depression and my now ex boyfriend broke up with me and I feel lost and that really threw me off guard, my work is my art career and it's all from home and I can't seem to figure out and contain my emotions and it feels like all the progress I've made is lost, but this time I want to do things differently and this video came in perfect timing. Thank you
I feel like we are such different people, but you have become one of my favorite content creators. You are always working on your inner self and striving to be better. I have also been working in therapy on moving to be a secure person, and I hope that leads to attracting secure people who are also putting in the work like you! Absolutely loved this video!
Love that you’re a well rounded multidimensional person. Stunningly beautiful but also intelligent and building a healthy life from the inside out ☀️
I woke up a bit depressed today, and watching this video made me feel sooo much better!! I actually cleaned my house, made my tea when I saw you drinking tea, and feeling a lot better as I listened to your experiences. Love u so much, Alana!!
Thank you so much for speaking on this topic. I think sometimes, people believe that happiness is something that just happens... & maybe for some people, that's true- but I think the vast majority of people have to put a lot of work into breaking old behavioral patterns & learning new ways of living & interacting with the world, to get to a place where they feel confident in themselves & satisfied with their life & relationships.
I wish these kinds of videos would be pushed more by the algorithm, I think it would help lots of people.
18:00 I need this so much! One of my major issues is not being mindful and present. As you said, I overthink everything and even create fake scenarios in my head that feel so real that leave me with anger, irritation, or in tears depending on the scenario I came up with. My mind is running a million miles per minute.
I also need to push myself to go outside. I take vit d capsules because it feels like it's too much energy to step outside. The thought of it exhausts me. I find myself staying home the 4 days off and pretty much only leaving the house to work at a stressful job 3 days a week.
I think this is my favorite video of yours i’ve ever seen. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety i cant tell you enough how much comfort this video brought me. I have also gone to therapy for years and now im at a point where im doing okay and havent had the need to go because i feel so much better and i’m on a good medication. This video was a reminder of all the things i learned thru therapy and it made me feel less alone🥹 knowing that you also go thru this. I’m so proud of you and all the work you’ve put into your mental health. Bc i know from experience how hard it is to get to a place like that. ❤️you have no idea how many people you are helping by using your platform to talk about this.
This is honestly one of my most favourite video of yours! Love seeing you grow into a more healthier and happier person! 💞💞
This video made me so relaxed and appreciate what I have😊thanks Alana❤️I'll be for sure using these tips in my daily life going forward☺️
PLEASE keep posting stuff like this. I’ve struggled with depression for the past 13 years and have yet to find a good care team etc. you sharing your experience & what you’ve learned is so helpful. I’m going to try these things. Thank you.
I just got broken up and this video really meant a lot to me and helped me. I have been trying to and starting my self-love journey. I have been trying to practice mindfulness and master myself and my mind. I look up to you so much. You are an amazing role model and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you, as an influencer and a person.
I think the pandemic opened a lot of peoples eyes, realising that besides their job what do they do? I love that a lot of people picked up new hobbies and passions. 💕
Those videos may not get as many views as the others, but be sure that the one, the three or the one hundred people that need to hear this, will really get helped. And that is more than enough. Very good job and so fucking well said
👏👏👏
This is my fav video of yours. Please do more soul videos 💗 it’s sooo helpful. Thank you for talking about this stuff 💞
PLEASE KEEP POSTING VIDEOS LIKE THIS! What you’re talking about is relatable to so many people and we are listening ❤️
Mental health is REALLY hard to talk about but you’re doing it. I think it’s just going to take time for people to feel comfortable talking about this type of self care. Learning how to battle your depression is such a beautiful thing 🤍
I don’t try to control my thoughts. I just remember that they are thoughts & thoughts don’t define us. Think of the worst thought you’ve ever had about anything, does that define you? No! So no thoughts we EVER have define who we are, they come & go! That’s what I live by!
Observing your thoughts as just thoughts and not part of you is very helpful. But then again sometimes thoughts lead to beliefs. If you have negative thoughts and it leads to negative beliefs and negative self talk, that can be harmful. Have to find what works for you and it seems like you did so keep killing it!
alana pls NEVER STOP making videos like these!! they are my favorite and SO important. ty for always keeping it real with us ❤️❤️ i am so happy you are doing so much better
Thank you for being so honest and raw in your videos and always giving the best advice! ❤️
I remember seeing your first depression and wanting to help so bad. I’m so happy you are making positive progress! You got this girl ❤️ I knew nothing about therapy but they had me do mandatory counselor appointment after I had my baby. I learned so much! And having doctors and other medical professionals support you is awesome. Don’t be scared to ask for help!
I’m so proud of you ❤️ I’m also recovering from depression and it’s really interesting to hear some tips and methods used in a different therapy type (to the one I’m in)! I love your content, whether they’re lighthearted beauty or house related videos or the deep mental health ones. I wish you all the best on your self care journey and I really hope you’ll post more of this kind of videos 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your journey of mental health with us to the extent you do :) I myself have been in therapy for a while and it can be hardworking me to trust the strategies that are proposed to me… I feel silly when I do go through with the active attempt of rewiring my brain and forming better habits aswell as thought patterns… it’s so good to hear what this has done for you and of course I don’t know you personally but in you sharing this despite it not performing as good as other content is so valuable!! It gives me the encouragement to go through with things in order to build a life of happiness and less anxiety! I have been watching you for years and you successfully inspire me over and over! You are such a great role model for young women! Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much for posting this 🥺 and thank you for speaking about having a hard time taking care of yourself and your hygiene when you are depressed. It always makes me feel so bad when it happens to me, and I despise myself for it, but I also cannot get the energy to do things...
I love your content. Thank you for being open and honest. I'm sorry people have been rude on some of your other videos because you seem like such a kind person. Your always super helpful and thoughtful about what you post.
Please make more videos like this. Im in a process of getting better myself and this adds so much extra perspective, even you talking about it in all your other videos already did. I love it
This video has helped me so much. I never knew I had a mental disorder but you talking about your daily struggles helped me realize I may too have depression and am going to see a therapist in the coming weeks… thank you so much for being so raw and real.
Alana! I love this video! I’m actually living for it. Wow. I didn’t realize how distracted I am a majority of the time. I’m looking forward to implementing some of the techniques you mentioned like being present while brushing my teeth.
Ever since I started watching you I thought to myself, “this girl is so beautiful, intelligent and mindful!” You are amazing and I’m grateful for all the time you put into your job. You have impacted me in many positive ways!
You’re the best! Sending my love to you, your family and Steven. 💕
Gosh, thank you so much for creating this video. I appreciate your honesty and transparency. I hope this video reaches more people who are struggling with depression.
Thank you so much for this. I'm battling depression, bi polar disorder and a recent break up. I needed this.
please do more videos like this. sharing what you learn in therapy cos it’s so inspiring and helpful and i’m sure you are helping so many other people become more confident in themselves and less anxious all the time
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this. I have gone through a lot of trauma in this past year and I almost completely checked out of life. I'm slowly working towards recovery. 💗
This video came just in time. Just had a breakdown in front of my parents cause I'm not getting help from anywhere. Haven't watched it yet but I am super exited.
I hope you will get the help you need❤️
@@teknosbeka found out today I can go on disability! It's something. At least my depression and anxiety are finally recognized.
I know that feeling about the depression and anxiety. I just had my first appointment today with a psychologist. It felt so good that finally someone didn't think I was "just dramatic" when I expressed how I felt.
I wish you the best ❤️
@@teknosbeka I can't live off disability so I guess I will try to get a part time job.
@Helena Richard 💖 I hope you are doing well
You seem so genuinely happy! I love that!!!
I love this side of you. It reminds me that I’m not alone. I still haven’t reached out to get therapy I dont know why I’m scared to. This was the ultimate push I got to just do it, just get it.. thank you for posting videos like this, it’s extremely grounding.
Thanks for sharing this. Yes- Therapy is so helpful for me too………… could relate to your many thoughts in the shower and I am also practicing monotasking and mindfulness.
I agree 100%! DBT helped me so much, I mean, it changed my life. I could never imagine what it feels like to not be suicidal before. It’s crazy. And yeah, the exercises are actually pretty hard to do, but they completely worth it❤️
This didn't even show up in my subscription feed! Crazy! Thanks for making such an important video.
Loved loved loved this video Alana! These types of videos are always super helpful to me because my brain seems to operate very similarly to yours. Thank you for spending the time to create it!
This is one of the most helpful videos of yours I’ve watched and I’ve been subscribed for a very long time. I have been implementing a lot of the things you have mentioned from your therapy
Girl, this video is just what I needed.
So proud of your progress!!!
Alana, this video qualifies as a true Public Service Announcement. Your genuine desire to help others by sharing the lessons you've learned through trained healthcare professionals is a big reason why you've developed such a loyal following. Thank you for your candor and compassion. 💗
I loved this ! Very helpful - studying for med boards rn and I’m so happy you uploaded this
I recently completed 2 years of weekly DBT sessions and it has been life changing for me. I had depression and anxiety for years prior to this, but felt like the medication and therapy wasn't helping and that there was something else going on. I was then diagnosed with Bpd (borderline personality disorder), DBT is great for helping with the negative thoughts that are associated with the condition. Sometimes a diagnosis can also be really helpful for understanding why you feel/act the way you do.
Sending love and support to anyone who is dealing with MH issues. Stay strong, it can get better ❤️ x x
I really needed this today. Thank you for your vulnerability
I love u so much, ur are one of the most likeable ppl on this app. Thank you for being you!!
I loved this video! I needed the bathroom halfway through and I didn’t take my phone in like I normally would, instead I caught myself delving into the senses for a good 15 minutes in there, it felt so very warm and fussy for my brain. Thank you 😊 💛
Ahhh I think this was my all time favourite video of yours 🥰 thank you for taking the time to share it ♥️
You don’t know how much I needed this video today. 🥺
This is one of my favorite videos of of yours' Alana. Thank you!!
You have no idea how much this video helped me, made me realize a lot of things…helped me more than my therapist actually!
I needed this 🙏🏻🌸
perfect timing
Thank you so much alana 🙏🏻❤️
I recently have begun my journey to bettering myself and my career and I love to look to your videos for motivation
I love how real and honest you are! I feel like we’d be such good friends!
❤❤❤ I love your message here and I love your videos! They are so real and it feels like we’re actually friends! Thanks fr sharing yourself with us and I look forward to continuing to support you girly!!
The title made me really happy to read glad you're doing better✨
Alana….. I appreciate you so much for this and I would definitely love more!! I’ve learned SO much in this video and it’s exactly what I needed right now. It’s been tough over here. 😥
Alana I Love watching your videos! I feel like you’ve taught me so much about having an open mind and different ways to view things. I’m at a very low point in my life, where I feel like because I’ve lost everything I am not myself anymore but what you said makes perfect sense. It’s all about self worth and knowing your value. You’re beautiful inside and out 😘😘
Hey Alana! I've been watching you since you've started UA-cam and I feel like I grew up with you :) i've been going through some tough times and your advice is something I will definitely incorporate into my daily routine!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on dealing with depression. Please continue this series
I love this type of content sooo much because I feel like we are both are very similar. Your mental health videos always help me!
Loved this video Alana. So happy to see you so happy ❤️
Definitely hard with kids. My mental state with 2 kids 24/7 literally makes me feel like im fading away slowly.
Praying for you, Ashley 🤍 I have two youngins of my own at a young ago also (I’m now 29, my oldest is 6) I’ve been in that deep dark hole as a sahm and remember feeling so lonely and lost. Now I’m a work-ahm. The kiddos are now in school so that definitely helps me get “me” time. Honest communication with the partner is a must too. But the only long term, root-cause solution to finally heal was through a personal relationship with Jesus. (I used to be an atheist) just wanted to throw that out there and let you know I’m rooting for you! 🤗
You saved my life. Never stop being this girl.
This video is amazing. Even though they don't perform as good, you are helping so many people with these. No need to stop, posts like these can change lives. You did such an awesome job with this. Thank you for being you
Thank you for this video! Please do more on what you’ve learned from dbt, primary & secondary emotions and figure out where they come from! More mental health tips! So helpful! Thank you!
this literally helped me so much… wow thank you
I needed this video SO much 💗🥹 thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Thank you for this video, it was so wonderfully done ❤
This video is perfect and the timing couldn't be better
such a perfect video. I feel so relaxed and inspired x
My fav video ever by you. Thank you for these reminders
You inspired me with this video!! Thank you Alana
i can not afford therapy myself but I really appreciate you sharing what you have learnt through therapy and it really resonates with me
So proud of you! From a long time supporter🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love that you put friends on the backround. I do the same!
I love this. I feel like I just had a therapy calming session. Or watched like a calming relaxing meditation positivity kind of video. Therapist Alana ❤️
Thank You for speaking about this 🙏
Love this video!!! So proud of your growth love! Also.. DBT is so amazing. Love it. 💚 yesss my hobbies help my depression so much! I also adore decorating, especially for all holidays! So fun! 💚
Please make more videos like this❤️
By the way your home is beautiful ❤️
Love this video so much, you’re awesome girl!!
This is such a lovely video, i really appreciate you sharing what you have learned :)
Oooo yes mindfulness! The way to make sure we are actually experiencing our lives! So important!
Thanks so much for this.
Alana we need more videos on podcasts you recommend, how you journal and more videos like this!!
you’re helping me more than you know alana
Really needed this!💜
I’m on vacation and not enjoying it which I did not expect at all. I’ve been looking forward to it for months. This really helped me.
You the best Alana ❤
You give the best content ever. 👌
thank you o much for this you are so amazing for this a good soul
This is your best video you’ve done!
I lost you for a few years, Alana. I am so happy to say that I looked for your videos again. One reason being that I wanted to get back in touch with my femininity. I basically grew up in a masculine environment and I never had that motherly feminine influence. I have always wanted it though.
You exude femininity in such an authentic way. You’re a real ass girl with all the feelings and I admire you so much for sharing your humanness with the world.
You help me so much in remembering what I need for myself as well as my wants as a woman.
The other reason being that I genuinely wanted to know how you are, what you’ve been up to, and anything and everything you’ve accomplished in the time I had stopped checking in.
I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to share your life journey with us through out the years.
I do not know you personally, but I love you for the real, beautiful, and authentic person that you are.
You have always inspired me.
❤
thanks for this video and all your videos🤍🤍🤍
Really loved this video! 😍
Hi Alana. I usually watch your videos while im working, and i think you speed your video slightly so that your videos arent so long(Im assuming). But i totally dont mind if some of your more talk videos would be longer!
Yeah I’ve noticed this too!
I dont mind it at all, im just saying you’d be surprised how many people wouldnt mind listening to you ramble for longer! :)
Haven't watched this yet, but I was so excited to see it come out! Every time you post I get so excited, I've never missed a vid since I subbed to you. xx Sierra :)
Aww good for you Alana ❤️
