    When Sierra first mentioned her suicide attack - I started crying immediately and went here to write this comment. I haven’t even finished yet, but I’ve been watching your channel for around 4 years now, I’ve been dating, married, went through a lot with you, when you were just trying curly hair routine, had podcast with scylar, then miscarriage, Grace, this podcast, everything ❤️ I feel like you’re my good friend and I care a lot about you! Started crying because I’m so sorry you went through this. You seem so happy, to know you have experienced these dark feelings makes me sad. But also how happy your life is now! You are an inspiration and a beautiful person, a star soul with unique journey 🥰 I love you very much ❤️ And the girls! Thanks for existing!❤️

      This is exactly word-for-word what I was going to write as well. I immediately started crying when Sierra mentioned the suicide attempt and in my head I went back to my jorney, my attempts when I was young and two years ago. I feel so sorry for anyone that went through this, knowing how it felt and Sierra explaining how you feel in that moment was exactly that. I am watching her channel for many years and she is like a friend to me. She many times brought normality in my life when I was at my lowest. I wish everyone the courage and strength to speak up and give yourself another chance at life. Hopefully we can all be a little more compassionate and see more, react more often to people around us. Kindness doesn’t cost much.

    I'm 39 but all the content you cover is so relevant to me. It's so true about in older generations mental illness was like, not mentioned. You would tell like your bestie but beyond that you wouldn't even tell anyone, I never even told my own parents about struggles. I find especially men in their mid 30s and older right now literally won't even go for help when they know they have a mental issue. It makes them look "unmanly"
    Would you guys ever consider interviewing someone in their 30s or older on this topic, or other topics?
    Was just a thought 😊
    What's hard for me too with girlfriends is that they are boring, people when they get older get bland, and I find myself clicking more with younger people lately. It may be because I don't have kids. But Sierra has a kid and is still so bubbly and fun on the podcast. I'm trying to make new girlfriends now that I resonate with more, it's hard out there!

I've never attempted, but my heart has always been where Sierra's is now in that I want to help those who want to and let them know there is a next chapter and there will be so many beautiful moments in their future. And I'm so grateful to Sierra for opening up about it because now people see an amazing depiction of how their story does not have to end. Thank you for being so vulnerable.

    omg so i usually relate to a lot of what paloma shares but around 19:38 when she discusses having to be the positive happy-go-lucky sunshine for the family is something i heavily relate to. i dealt/deal with that misconception a lot. i always tell people that i consider myself an optimistic, positive person but i struggle with negative emotions just like everyone else, but the key is knowing myself enough to not let that affect the mood of the people around me.

    I felt 100% of what Riayn said. Literally never heard anyone talk about the big endless circle of thoughts in your head of how not even acknowledging the issues bc they are "not big deal"
    My problems are literally not that big of a deal - Am I even feeling anything negative? - My thoughts might be negative but not really? - How negative is too negative and how negative is just the human experience? - We're not suppose to be sad but we're not NOT suppose to be sad because we have feelings for a reason - how self centered of me to be thinking of myself so much? - how self centered AM I that I DO consistently think of myself? etc... etc... etc...
    Most of it doesn't even make since and by the end of if you tell yourself if you have think this hard about it to see if you're good or not should tell you you're good. I don't have the answers but I'm here friend. ❤

    Holy vulnerability, Riayn! You were so brave and you are killing it. Related to the thoughts about it not being bad enough, this is especially bad for women of color. Find a therapist who understands. I went to an Latinx therapist company because no one’s else could understand and not just shame how damn codependent and enmeshed my family is. But it also gave me permission to take care of myself and not feel guilty because I have it so much better but it doesn’t mean I don’t deserve grace and healing me heals our bloodlines ❤ Good luck! I feel like I am you 2 years down the road and it’s hard, but honestly it can get better! Doesn’t mean all of the pain is gone but it’s lighter.

    As an older millennial/xennial (I’m 40) growing up mental health wasn’t really in our vocabulary either. I feel like even with close friends you never necessarily felt safe expressing what was going on inside. I related to Paloma when she said she was just too busy to even worry about her feelings. Thankfully my husband is very understanding, but it is really hard to unlearn that you don’t always have to put on a brave face or that your feelings/problems are still valid even if you’re otherwise still functioning. It’s so hard not to think that you’re being a burden to others by opening up or that you shouldn’t complain because other people have it worse.

  • @karadorsey2300

    Riayn- I'm a therapist and something that I always tell people who have that mentality of. Is this a big enough deal or is this bad enough or whatever the specific might be, is that it's a big deal to you. It's important to you. Maybe to someone else. It would be the worst thing in the world or something. They wouldn't bat an eyelash about. But it is affecting you and therefore it is important

I’m still very medicated and using coping techniques and doing therapy, but my life is so much better than I could’ve imagined. I’m here, almost 27, with my pets and a wonderful partner and a home we own. 16 year old me couldn’t have imagined that! I definitely wish I was more “normal” and my anxiety allowed me to do more and travel further, but I also know life is long and I’m doing my best.

    In 2016 I lost my grandmother and uncle, got pregnant, and while I was pregnant my 3 year old son was diagnosed with severe ADHD then he had to have surgery, (android removal) then I lost my grandfather by suicide 2 days before I gave birth to my daughter. I didn't talk to anyone about it. The person that started to notice was my parents and my husband. My son's doctor talked to me and I then realized I had severe anxiety. I had bad thoughts ALOT. not harming myself or my kids, but about someone harming us. It was constant. I am much better now since on medication. I am always the one giggling but on the inside anxiety is rough!! Talking to loved ones is what helps me the most!! Hope all you girls are doing good today!

    This honestly had me crying 14 minutes in, thanks sooo so much you guys for being so open and honest. I especially connected with Paloma, I was always the energised, happy elder sibling and at most I "could" get angry. Despite the fact that I have anxiety, and it literally took me moving out and going through friendships etc. And then meeting my boyfriend (who is one of the only people I perceive as literally only wanting sweet nothing from me ;) ) to realize that and accept my whole spectrum of emotions. Still working on not slipping into toxic positivity. But I feel like this was such an important conversation and will spark a lot of conversation among your listeners and their loved ones. I'm 27 now, and imagining me hearing what Paloma said at say 16 or 18 would have honestly been life changing. So guys, keep doing what you are doing, you are doing such important work and creating such a loving and healthy community ❤

With 2 kids under 2 it definitely is taking a toll on my mental health. Trying to find the balance of being a mom, doing the house work, working, and trying to get the me time. There are days I cry and I have no idea what to do. Having the person to talk to helps me.

And I didn’t. I felt way better the next day and have been able to cope.
    I have several autoimmune diseases that give me chronic pain throughout my body. It is very difficult to go through life like I’m fine when I’m in physical and mental pain. But it’s possible. I just remember that I have my own struggles that I have to push through that other people in my life might not understand and that I am strong enough to make it through this painful life. I am even going to be getting a dual degree in Psychology and Accounting next year. I am trying to be really grateful and proud of everything I have gotten through. Thanks for this great video.

    This episode was so therapeutic. Last year was the worst year of my life mentally and I ended up dropping out of college because I couldn’t handle it. I was the most depressed and anxious I’d even been and was seriously making a “plan.” But, I’m here today and I’ve been in therapy for over a year now and ended up getting an autism diagnosis. I still struggle a lot, but knowing where it’s coming from (sensory triggers, rigidity, routine disruption etc) has seriously changed my life. I’ve applied to five colleges for the next semester and I’m actually excited to do school again.

    Thank you for doing this episode. I am currently struggling really bad. My 18 year old nephew died by suicide on January 13th. Our world stopped that day and we are trying to dig out way back to the light. He was the HAPPIEST. person you could meet. Men need to know it’s ok to have feelings. ❤

    16 minutes in and already sobbing. we have DID because of horrible abuse and neglect from infancy through to young adulthood, and, on the outside, we were the happy kid, the one who thrived in school. no one helped us because we looked fine.

    I hear you sierra and thanks for sharing about your experience. I still don’t think life is worth living for me if the feelings never go away. Yes you can learn how to cope with it better but everyday still hurts and when you realise you’re only living because you have to, you’re not living you’re just passing time. Why suffer when you could die and be at peace, at least I have more hope in that then in my future. You’re not being selfish. It’s selfish for other people to force you to stay when it’s never ending suffering for you. I’m so glad you’re doing better now though, watching your videos really helps me so thanks for doing what you do ❤

    I'm usually a Spotify lurker, but I had to come over to UA-cam to drop a comment. I'm crying. I'm laughing and feeling so understood.
    All I can really say is thank you. Sierra, the honesty in your expression about it doesn't go away but it can get easier to bear, so real.
    Thanks all, ✌️✌️ millennial peace sign out

    What has helped me a lot was working with a therapist and doing inner child healing, writing letters to my younger self, acting out conversations with my therapist to heal and learn to parent myself

    This was a very touching topic. Thank you for bringing it to light. Like you ladies said it's sad that men cannot sit on a podcast and express their feeling like we do because then they are looked at as weak or p***ies. I'm just glad that people are taking the time out to address their issues Instead of keeping it in. Thank you again queens for bringing this topic to light

  • @cc-hk5ih

    Well done ladies. Sierra what you have done here is hugely important. Speaking out about mental health being aware of your mental well being and saying that there is help to navigate it is really important. Also saying that yes you have to live with it but you can learn the healthy ways to cope. Mental health issues seem to be something to be ashamed of something that youl get over or worse still have made up and can snap out of. You break a leg people are full of sympathy they can see the physical break but admit your mind or brain is broken and sad to say lots of people don't think that pain is real or relevant. I have first hand experience with a family member and with myself. I have learned from the sad experience of a family member to speak out to ask for help and to admit to myself that yes sometimes it's OK not to be OK in my head. Anxiety and or depression can be a lonely dreadful prison. Reaching out talking about these uncomfortable feelings accepting help be it medication therapy whatever is essential if mental issues are to be addressed in a healthy way. To say it out to a mum a friend a doctor is a step towards a healthier mind and body. My family member still has issues but they are not swept under the carpet ignored and more importantly dismissed as selfish imaginings. Men need to be more vocal about their inner turmoil and know there is safe places to gain help. For me and like Paloma the happy ones who seem to cope with everyone's problems should be watched for their breaking points. I have reached mine but thankfully have had the help I need. Cudos to your Mum Sierra mine was invaluable she was there always to listen to help and to guide. I so agree we all need to mind our mental health and nurture it and be aware of it as much as the body physical. Its essential that we can recognise why and how we are feeling and be honest first to ourselves and then to those around us as to how we are doing. Well done for highlighting these issues. Watching this today I'm not feeling great I've had two bereavements in my family my mum n dad in last two years. Covid had a huge effect on our collective mental health. In Ireland young children are now getting psychiatric help for the damage done through lockdown. My mental health from caring covid and bereavement is challenged. But I speak out I get help and I know this will ease. I see the signs and as you said I try and work with them. Again well done on highlighting these issues. xxCC in Ireland

    I love you guys so much thank you for having this tough conversation. My friends and I have convos like this very often just checking in on each other and this felt like one of those talks. I’ve been watching Sierra since 2018 I think so I have been here for a lot of big life events for her and seeing the season of life she is in now is so so inspiring and I can’t wait to get to that point as a wife and mother some day. I’m taking care of my mental health now so I can be a support system for my family like I’ve wished I had growing up. We all need someone like Sierras mom in our lives.
    This has become such an important part of my week listening to you guys💕

    Such an important conversation - thank you ladies for being so open and vulnerable. This is relevant to all ages, not just people in their 20s. I think it's also important to acknowledge that therapy is not the end all be all solution for everyone and having other outlets can be just as or more helpful for some (myself included!). That being said, therapy and finding a therapist you like and connect with is a great resource to get started if you have that access.

    When I was in high school, my guidance counselor told my dad I needed to see a psychiatrist because she thought I had bipolar disorder. My dad wouldn’t take me, said I did everything for attention etc. He couldn’t believe something was “wrong” with me. Well, I got diagnosed about 4 years ago and it explains so much. I feel like Sierra; I don’t know who I would be without my bipolar. I don’t think I would be the same person. But I finally have the tools to live with this disorder. It will never go away, but that doesn’t mean you’re “doomed.”

    12 step meetings are very healthy because you are with others who have dealt with the same things you have gone through. I encourage people to look into these. They have it for any subject not just AA.

    Omg this video brought tears to my eyes. As someone who’s on medication for depression I know everyone is going through it right now because of life. If it wasn’t for my family and my best friend I don’t know where I would be without them. I am 31 going on 32 in June and I also have a disability that makes things difficult for me and with the healthcare insurance they gave me is trash. I can’t even live on my own because I can’t get a job because of my disability. I don’t ever put all of this kind of thinking on here but I decided to share. You girls are one of my favorites podcasts 💙💙💙💙

    Riayn my heart goes out to you❤ ❤ it's hard because my family always said pray about it. I can relate. And all I can say if you leave the lid on your mental health on at some point it will explode and sometimes a little at time is not as scary. I've had to be taking the lid off slowly everytime because I didn't address it when I needed to and now in my 30s I have to talk about things now. Now I have a small support system. My boyfriend and I always say don't talk to yourself that way if you don't want me to talk like that to myself. He has been that sounding board. Love all of you ❤
