Thank you for sharing Ami 💜 Wise words, and coming from experience it really does help the one struggling with the same kind of issues. It's hard to find the right words or to know what to do, if you haven't experienced something yourself. In my own life I've come to terms with small steps helping to get further, but still working on the thought that a feeling is just a feeling, and it shall pass at some point. It's about how you handle it, how you take it in and process it. Overall I guess we're here to experience things and to learn from them. We grow when we learn to cope with things. Unfortunately it's a long journey for some of us, and one may think woah when does this end, why is all this happening to me, why can't I just be normal like everyone else etc. What would be great to know is that not everyone else is "normal" compared to others (one should never compare himself to others) in the way we think - we're just built differently, but noone is better than the other one. Everyone is perfect in their own way, and everyone has to deal with mental health issues at some point of their lives, it's part of being a human. No matter how bad one may feel right now, it shall pass. It always does, but sometimes it's just takes a longer way. I wish someone would have told that to me when I was younger, would have made life so much more understandable.
I can definitely second the points about walking/exercise 😊 Doing that keeps me sane.. Until 5-10 years ago I didn't really understand these issues as I had no experience but having been through a few things, exercise turned out to be the answer 👍 The more people talk about this sort of thing the better so well done 🙂
Thank you so much for today Ami. I was listening to you perform in Blackburn and requested a song. You sang it perfectly to the point where it ended up getting me a little emotional. I sing it to my daughter and call her my sunshine. I needed to hear this and your voice, whilst it may seemed upsetting, actually settled me significantly. Hopefully I get to see you busking again locally soon. It was refreshing to take time out of the day to sit and listen and appreciate your art and passion for what you do. Thank you again.
I really like your video . Your advice is invaluable . My family have suffered with anxiety and depression all my life ,especially my poor mum . Keeping busy is so important I also now speak to a councillor . Listening to LOVELY music and talking to someone Is really important in the long term fight against depression and anxiety. Take care of yourself xx Tom
Thank You Ami for doing this and being so open. Even if it just helps one person. Since the breakdown of my Marriage, I have suffered badly with Depression, so I can relate to what you are saying. You are an amazing person and wonderful singer. Carry on doing what you do. Have a wonderful day. xx
Ami, have you ever tried swimming? To me, it resets my brain. There is something about water and swimming that really helps focus the mind and makes you forget everything else. It's a great way to keep fit and as they say, healthy body, healthy mind. All the best to you.
Ami thank you for sharing your'e anxiety with us all. If you had not mentiod that you sufferd with anxiety i would never have noticed you are a very brave young woman for sharing that with us. Listin my friend maybe one day soon i would love to meet you buy you a meal and a coffee sit down and have a good long chat together. X ?
Thanks for posting. My daughter suffers anxiety. Listening to U helps me to help her. Your ability to self assess& communicate is brilliant.

Thank you for this video Ami, just what I needed right now
Yup. Exposure therapy. It's a well known, well studied, tried and true method.
Thank you for sharing - Keep shining 💜💜
Stay strong always here for you mate ❤

You look like Taylor Pendergraff in her blonde era
Hey Ami. I would love to have you on the podcast. Not sure where you’re based. I’ll drop you a message on IG
