Amanda, I admire your strength. You have shared your struggles with depression and anxiety. I know it's difficult to rise up and move when you just want to stay in the bed. Thank you for being such a great role model to so many people.
As a Mother of a seven year old with Autism I hugely appreciate your strength and honesty Amanda. I know through my own experiences that it is considerably easier to smile and say that everything is great
God bless you, my sweet sister. You are an inspiration to me. My son is 13 years old and is nonverbal with autism... special needs has its challenges as well as its blessing 🙌 🙏🏼. I, too, suffer from depression and anxiety, some day are good some day not so good... just remember we have our Jesus to help us through all the ups and downs xxx
Renovation can truly take a toll. Moving, planning, getting to know the new place calling home for a few months - on top of raising 7 kids - including teenagers and a special needs kid - is A LOT. Take care, Amanda and everyone in the fam.
I follow a few utube families and often wonder why my life seems so bland compared to them. These families seem to have it all together while I find myself struggling way too often. Then this! Thank you for keeping it real, Amanda. I love this family..❤️
I was just talking about this with my daughters recently. They said “why does it feel like everyone else has such a smooth life and we have so many challenges and hard things to go through?” It was a good conversation about how we all go through difficulties in various ways but it’s not always visible from the outside. ❤️
@@themillerfam I just found you guys!!💖 I absolutely love you guys already so wonderful and truly just makes us mom's especially know that there is no such thing as perfect! We often have so much pressure and well expectations that can be truly unrealistic. We're human and all just doing the very best we can🌹
Thank you Amanda for your honesty. I love your family. You are an inspiration to me. I am a single adopted mom of two boys. My oldest son has Schizophrenia which is controlled by meds. I struggle with depression and at one time in my life I had depression, Anorexia and bulimic all at the same time. But like you said, leaning on my faith has really brought me a long way. Without it I would not have made it. So thank you Amanda and Blessings to you and family.
I first ‘found’ you a few years ago when I was out of hospital after sepsis and meningitis. It’s taken some recovering and spending time with your family really helped. I too suffer with anxiety and depression. A lot of the time I manage it well - but other times it’s much more difficult and I don’t tend to let people know how I’m feeling. It is such a hard thing to share and I can see your vulnerability when you tell us about your difficult times. It is so brave of you to share it with us. Your family have become like good friends to me and I always look forward to hearing from you. As a mum with grown up children I miss the cuddles with my boys. However I now have an almost 2 year old grandson and a granddaughter due in a week or two. Life is good. Each one of your children are so loved and cared about - I live alone and enjoy ‘sharing’ your family. Looking forward to the new house being finished as I’m sure you are too! With love from Dawn in Liverpool UK xx❤❤
THANK YOU Amanda for sharing with us! I am autistic with Asperger syndrome-I live alone as both my parents have passed away. It’s tremendously difficult as I suffer from depression and anxiety, and it gets only harder as I’m all alone. I talk to my cats lots of times , as if they were people, and I have a wonderful relationship with my church, I go to the local pool to swim, I take my bike out for rides, and that’s how I handle depression- sometimes there are days that I don’t get out of bed , cannot do anything, and it makes things worse, but I do try , and trying helps! Thanks for sharing your own thoughts with us. I love you Amanda and your Stephen, and kids lots- your videos are a safety valve and when I watch them , it gives me an uplift and helps me ‘ come back’! Love you all dearly, all the way from Athens Greece ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What amazing timing. I had a motherly breakdown this morning. Two toddlers testing all my limits and I want nothing more than to show them my deep love and everything is a lot of work. I appreciate someone acknowledging how much work it really is
Its been a while since I didn't watch your videos and im impressed with lincoln progress. Omg he walks and runs, catch a ball, walks with a cup in his hand, he also says ma and more ❤️ Im so happy to see him grow, he looks so happy
Thank you for sharing your difficulties with anxiety and depression. So many people think no one else goes through such hard times. Thank you for being vulnerable and letting us know we aren’t alone. Leaning on the Lord is so important, because in His strength we can prevail. ❤
I believe words have powerful effect. It maybe doesn't seem much of help to some, but I do believe it can be great help to one needed. What I'm trying to say is Amanda you are a strong woman, mother, and wife! You inspire a lot of girls and women out there, including me. I'm so proud of you! Cheer up! Lotsa love
Thank u so much for being open and sharing your heart. I admire how positive you are and was feeling guilty for the struggles I have with depression and anxiety. Thank u for this video. God used it to encourage my heart ❤️
Amanda first for all I want to appreciate u, u are a great mum raising 7children is no joke. Thank u for sharing not many people can open up about depression/ mental health. U are on God priority your heart is one of a kind. I love u and your family u put God first in your lifes and decision. Prayers and hugs .
Your candor and vulnerability make me feel so much more connected to you. I am a single mom only have one child (he was adopted at 3 and has complex learning needs). I often feel isolated and overwhelmed. When I see family vloggers that only show the happy times, I feel like there's something wrong with me. Seeing the "hard" seasons and moments makes you more relatable. Thanks for your bravery.
Although you are the child's own parents, your love is more than your own parents. Parents like you can make children feel very happy. May your life become more and more happy in the future!❤😊
WOW! Amanda, thank you sharing your own journey with depression/hard seasons. I've being dealing with issues beating myself up that I should be farther in LIFE but I know GOD is going to see me through, watching your channel inspire me so much!👏🏾
Oh Amanda, thank you so much for your openness and vulnerability. I have also struggled with depression and anxiety on and off for most of my life, so my heart breaks for you knowing that you also have to deal with this beast. But yes, thankfully we aren't left alone in our suffering. We are children of a God who loves and cares for us tenderly, even in the hard seasons.
Hey Amanda. Thank you for opening up about anxiety and depression.. I am a 25 year old mom of 2 boys (1 special needs) and I been really really struggling with anxiety and depression as well for quite a while now. It felt like I was alone and its so hard to take care of kids when you feel so many things and not having many family anymore or friends to rely on for support and having someone to talk to.. I feel alone, also being a introvert making things worse. but thanks to you I feel like I am not alone anymore. We all have our problems and trauma's but you need the right support to get through these times. Thank you die your encouraging words it made me feel so much better... I hope things will get better for ALL of us wil suffer with depression and anxiety... you gave me hope things will get better. ❤ love you guys and thanks once again 💞
It's really important for people like you to be honest and open. You let people know not every day is a party. Life is hard and that doesn't mean we aren't grateful or blessed. The two can both be true.
Amanda, Always remember God Has You & Your Family In The Palm of His Hands!! It is nice to share your pain & anxiety with others because in doing that you will connect with others. I am Hugging On Always & Keeping You In Prayer. Liam ,has grown up.Missing Mr. Lincoln’s Kisses.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amanda everything you said I can totally relate. It took a lot of strength within urself to get that out without crying. I can feel that while watching u cause I’m the same way. Been married 23yrs since I was 17. I’ve endured everything u could growing up and sometimes I question myself if I’m where I’m suppose to be? People change and go down different paths, I think I’m figuring out that saying, “love isn’t enough” and I pray and pray and prayed my whole life and beg God for answers or a sign for my path but I don’t feel like he replies. Thank u for sharing this and I hope we get thru this and come out on top of the world!!
Mental health is real. It’s a struggle. The best way to heal is to open up & share. Especially in the darkest days. Never go thru it alone. Thank you Amanda for showing what real life is like. To many on social media only show the good parts & sugar coat the mundane. Again, thank you for being vulnerable, it helps more than u know!!
Amanda, your faith in God is very inspiring and encouraging. Yes God is good all the time. Thank you for sharing. You are definitely upto your neck with running the family... But I admire the way you carry on with a smile. God bless you ❤️
I am so grateful to the Universe that you guys chose one another and stick by that decision every day. Not everyone gets to spend their lives with the people they love the most. So so happy for your entire family. Happy healing❤❤
Sending love to you Amanda. You are strong. I too was very depressed at a time in my life where I lived in an RV. I've always told people I'll never do it again. Something about the small space enclosing you makes you feel some type of way.... I'm glad you all are back in a home it does wonders for mental health. Love you all ✨️ 💖
Thanks for being vulnerable. This vid comforted me, knowing that we all struggle with our lives in different ways. At the same time still count our blessings. It was a hard day, i needed time alone, so i had lunch just by myself, watching this, and i felt comforted.
Thanks for being honest. Although it‘s very heartwarming and really beautiful to watch the heavenly happiness videos of your wonderful family, it‘s important to say that it‘s also a huge amount of work that can be exhausting bc as parents we always make the kid‘s wellbeing top priority which is wonderful and right but we all need time, room for restoring phases and if we‘re not mindful about it, we tend to push thoughts &perception away, far behind, just function until it‘s not manageable anymore. And then, when we break down, the kids have nothing good from that and we blame ourselves for it.. It‘s really worth it to think about a routine, which gives us little spots here and there to just be and do what gives us strength back and the feeling that we and our wellbeing is important too! Wish you the very best! Take care! ❤️
Amanda I am sorry that you go through these struggles. More and more people are being diagnosed with depression. I hear you when you say that we can have everything we need and be so blessed but still feel this anxiety and sadness, it is so hard to understand. We can be grateful that God will never leave us nor forsake us and we have the strength of the Holy Spirit in challenging times.
Amanda you are an amazing woman, mom, wife, and friend to everyone that has known you even virtually. Keep your head strong. You are filled with lots of love from the people around you and you have our support no matter what. Thank You for sharing how you feel, stay healthy and happy 💗💗💗.
That’s why when I first saw you on your you tube channel Amanda, I knew I was always connected with you , your honesty, your love , your kindness, your fight , your belief, I’ve always always found inspirational, no one smiles all the time , no one is happy all the time, no one is perfect, but you rub off on me to sort my health , life , out and find the best In every day !!! But I have so much respect for you for sharing this , very proud of you , I keep a journal, but I spend on me and doing what makes me glow Egyptology and photography, I’m sure with Stephen and the kids by you’re side your continuing to lift the frog … one second at a time , god bless you darling , your my inspiration 😊xxxxx
Amanda thank you for sharing as a mom that has Anxiety, PTSD and depression I can understand the struggle is real. I have adopted 5 children all with special needs and sometimes it is a struggle. Seasonal affect disorder is very difficult! You are not alone. Feel a hug!
Thank you for sharing, always! Being introverted, melancholic and anxious is not a weakness or something negative, Amanda. As I can relate, struggling with somewhat similar feelings, I feel your pain and concern. But I also feel happy and seen, because you are aware that there are more persons feeling as we do. Be assured that I will never take your openness and vulnerability lightly. All our hard experiences and sad moods can teach us how to be empathetic and understanding. Feel better soon. Much love to you all 🥰
I love that your kids eat such a variety of foods! Amanda, God has got you and so many others have got you too. So many people tell me that God only tests those that can cope with it but I'm not sure I believe that - we get given what we get given and our choices determine which way we go. Whatever choices you make are the right ones. Trust your instincts and you'll be ok. Thank you so much for sharing, you have a beautiful beautiful family that will be better off as as a result of the decisions you make for them. Lots of love and support from the UK, you're a true inspiration x
Thank you for sharing your story Amanda. I’ve always admired your family. I also struggle with anxiety and depression. And watching your families vlogs brings me lots of joy. I hope things get better for you soon.
Thank you for your honesty, dear Amanda! It is very encouraging to know God is always able to handle our situation. I love you and your family! Be blessed ❤️
This has really touched me. So real and authentic. You are such a wonderful woman and family. May the Lord comfort you in His Father's arms as you are comforting your children when they are anxious. Each crisis is unique and there are no quick remedies some time. Tears need to flow. You are safe dear sister and it was a very brave thing to be honest in front of the camera. Especially since people have treated you badly. 💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing your heart out with us Amanda ❤️ as a young woman with anxiety it really makes me feel less alone knowing there are more woman that fight every day to keep it up and still can continue and dont giving up. Im sending you a huuuge hug ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing, it was needed. Please remember we all love and care for you even though we have never met🙂Stay strong and lean on the one who is truly always there for all of us.
Dear Amanda, thank you for sharing and for your transparency. There are many people who would say that true children of God, believers, shouldn't suffer from depression/anxiety etc. But be reminded that the mind is a battlefield and the enemy attacks us in that area. For no obvious reason, the spirit of heaviness came upon me out of the blue and when I got the revelation that this is not the abundant life God promised me, I began to rebuke it and speak God's promises over my life and who I am in Him. Since then, I have noticed a change that the heaviness and sadness have left me. Anytime it tries to come back, I resist it wearing the full Armor of God. You will get over this Amanda. God is working on your case and He will complete that which He started in you. I encourage you to continue praying. Don't give up. God bless you all. Love and Hugs.
Even in your struggles Amanda you send out a light to us all out here. Lots of love and light right back to you, thank you for all you do. You are a Wonderwoman and I am so excited you have your lovely forever home to settle into this year where I know you will find a special space Amanda spot to retreat to where you can stand back and exhale with the sound of the river and nature around you. God Bless and mind you always.
Thank you, Amanda, you're right, I do feel less alone on the days when getting out of bed is harder. But I am so grateful that you are finally able to connect with church and friends. You're going through an immensely difficult time with the house etc etc and I will continue to pray for you. Xxxxxx
Thank you so much for your testimony it has helped with what I've been going through. It was a blessing to me. Continued blessings to you and your family.
Thank you Amanda for being honest. I know there’s so much more you feel and experience behind the scenes. Only you can decide what you need, but to me I’d love if you got alone time to just relax and take it slow. You’ve gone through hard times before, and you will get through this now. You got this.
Thankyou Amanda for being such an inspiration to all who goes through it’s I know first hand it take a lot cause I look after people who deal with it everyday Lots of blessings to you and your beautiful family always.
Thank you for your honesty and transparency Amanda. I've been watching you guys for awhile now and enjoyed every minute wholeheartedly. As always sending nothing but positive vibes to you and your beautiful family. ❤️
I’ve been away from UA-cam for about a month due to school, but I come back to hear Liam’s big man voice! Holy cow he’s growing up so fast! 🥹 Bless this family! ❤️
Bless you and your beautiful Family. Hope that Stephen had a safe travel. Loved seeing the kids playing on the playground and having fun swinging with Lincoln. So sorry that you have been going through so much Amanda and hope that you find peaceful moments and serene times where you can just be.
I have never dealt with depression but I am so glad you referenced that no where does it say that God won’t give us more than we can handle. Just the assurance that He will never leave us and He can handle it. Said a prayer for you and I appreciate your honesty as I am sure many can relate to everything you said.
Amanda, I understand what you're saying. I praise you for your strength. 🙏 I know it's a difficult task when moving your whole family and than thing's doesn't go the way you plan it. Just remember there's a light at the end of the tunnel ✨️ and prayers to you for better days ahead 🙏.
Has been going through alot the past few years. Issue with friends, relatives and families. I think I'm more towards stress and decision than depression. I have always tried to keep myself positive but it wasn't easy. I'm lucky to have found faith towards my religion. I really appreciate people who love me and shower me with lots of love which I did not get from my own parents. I'm happy for you to find the way out of your depression and anxiety. Let's continue to have a positive mindset. Love you guys and god bless you.
Navigating life is challenging and there are moments that take our breath away and moments where the only thing we can do is take a breath and release it then repeat that ! Grace is here every moment awaiting our faithful Presence as we emerge , as we lean in . Holding You in heartfelt prayer for all the steps awaiting You in big love for your family.Please know Your steadfast values and willingness to love make a HUGE difference EVERY day. Thankyou for your honesty.
I re watched the part of you talking Amanda and I think that was so hard and heartfelt for you. It made me sad for you, I'll be honest.God is always with us for the good times and the not so good times and faith will see a person through both times. Thanks for this as I think it wasn't so easy to talk about but I also think it gave people inspiration. Have a great wk. I appreciate you! I thought the soup was odd but glad your family liked it! I have to end this with hopefully putting a smile on your face!❤
Amanda you and Steven are just amazing parents & have a beautiful family. But when you have had so many changes in such a short period of time, there's going to be a lot to cope with. I'm so happy that you have met such good people where you are & a church that will give you the strength & friendships & support that will help bring you through this season. Your absolutely correct God doesn't give us more than we can handle. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you 🙏❤️🙏
Awe, dear sweet Amanda 💓…I’m now a 57 year old grandmother - whose raised her sweet babies 💞 …but I am certainly very much familiar with everything you’ve described in your video - your candor, honesty is beautiful - and so appreciated - just keep it in mind, that our hormones really do influence our behavior and mood in our bodies when we’re still cycling - and stressful times and circumstances 😢😮😅😊 - contribute more so than we even realize - especially when it’s occurring - and you, of course, as mentioned, have been living through quite a few lifestyle changes and raising your children within all those things…I can only imagine how that adrenal fatigue and hormonal depression and anxiety has caught up with YOU…I am sending my deepest Christian love to you, so happy that you’re comfortable enough to share, please 🙏🏻 never forget you’re very loved, in Christ 🙏🏻♥️
Hi Amanda I didn't know about your situation I've seen your videos and you always look happy my advice is that family helps when you are down and its better to talk to someone
Amanda, I admire your courage and strength for being a mom of 7. I know it's not easy to take the responsibilities of being a mom with depression and anxiety and tried to take away my life. I, myself is not married yet, without a child and suffering from depression and anxiety since I was a teenager. Sometimes I just wanna vanish cuz of the hardship I'm going through but u are such a wonderful wife, mother and a woman. How could you manage all of that? You're such an inspiration to many women like me. Thank you!
I would love to thank you all miller fam You’re videos keep bringing joy to me to forget everything for a little while.. Keep hanging on I’m struggling with depression anxiety and ptsd because of my childhood in my family was allot of violence and other hard stuf that a child should never see …. I’m still in tis earth for 2 things God and my family I hope I can have a beautiful family with stability and love…! Greetings from belguim 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for a great video, I’ve definitely been through many hard times since October since I broke both legs and other medical issues. You guys have really helped me during this period. Good luck Amanda
You are such an amazing mom, with lot of responsibility, so don't feel bad about your anxiety and depression, I am also dealing with anxiety, I think the world is a very hard place to live in now so alot of people have anxiety and depression, we truly can't survive without God . God continue to bless you and your beautiful family 🙏❤️🇹🇹
Amanda, I admire your strength. You have shared your struggles with depression and anxiety. I know it's difficult to rise up and move when you just want to stay in the bed. Thank you for being such a great role model to so many people.
Love you!
I recommend keeping expenses and travel for session depression and anxiety.
As a Mother of a seven year old with Autism I hugely appreciate your strength and honesty Amanda. I know through my own experiences that it is considerably easier to smile and say that everything is great

Prayer is the best weapon to fight depression.Believe and trust God and everything will be ok....Amanda is such a great mom....we love you !!!
Sending love to you Amanda. You are strong. I too was very depressed at a time in my life where I lived in an RV. I've always told people I'll never do it again. Something about the small space enclosing you makes you feel some type of way.... I'm glad you all are back in a home it does wonders for mental health. Love you all ✨️ 💖
Thanks for being vulnerable. This vid comforted me, knowing that we all struggle with our lives in different ways. At the same time still count our blessings. It was a hard day, i needed time alone, so i had lunch just by myself, watching this, and i felt comforted.
Thanks for being honest. Although it‘s very heartwarming and really beautiful to watch the heavenly happiness videos of your wonderful family, it‘s important to say that it‘s also a huge amount of work that can be exhausting bc as parents we always make the kid‘s wellbeing top priority which is wonderful and right but we all need time, room for restoring phases and if we‘re not mindful about it, we tend to push thoughts &perception away, far behind, just function until it‘s not manageable anymore. And then, when we break down, the kids have nothing good from that and we blame ourselves for it.. It‘s really worth it to think about a routine, which gives us little spots here and there to just be and do what gives us strength back and the feeling that we and our wellbeing is important too!
Wish you the very best! Take care! ❤️
Many hugs coming your way.
Thank you for your honesty with you and others living with depression and anxiety .
The struggle is real...
Amanda I am sorry that you go through these struggles. More and more people are being diagnosed with depression. I hear you when you say that we can have everything we need and be so blessed but still feel this anxiety and sadness, it is so hard to understand. We can be grateful that God will never leave us nor forsake us and we have the strength of the Holy Spirit in challenging times.
Amanda you are an amazing woman, mom, wife, and friend to everyone that has known you even virtually. Keep your head strong. You are filled with lots of love from the people around you and you have our support no matter what. Thank You for sharing how you feel, stay healthy and happy 💗💗💗.
That’s why when I first saw you on your you tube channel Amanda, I knew I was always connected with you , your honesty, your love , your kindness, your fight , your belief, I’ve always always found inspirational, no one smiles all the time , no one is happy all the time, no one is perfect, but you rub off on me to sort my health , life , out and find the best In every day !!! But I have so much respect for you for sharing this , very proud of you , I keep a journal, but I spend on me and doing what makes me glow Egyptology and photography, I’m sure with Stephen and the kids by you’re side your continuing to lift the frog … one second at a time , god bless you darling , your my inspiration 😊xxxxx
Amanda thank you for sharing as a mom that has Anxiety, PTSD and depression I can understand the struggle is real. I have adopted 5 children all with special needs and sometimes it is a struggle. Seasonal affect disorder is very difficult! You are not alone. Feel a hug!
Thank you for sharing, always! Being introverted, melancholic and anxious is not a weakness or something negative, Amanda. As I can relate, struggling with somewhat similar feelings, I feel your pain and concern. But I also feel happy and seen, because you are aware that there are more persons feeling as we do.
Be assured that I will never take your openness and vulnerability lightly.
All our hard experiences and sad moods can teach us how to be empathetic and understanding.
Feel better soon. Much love to you all 🥰
Thank you! We love you!
Amanda one strong woman I know via UA-cam
I admire you.
God bless you
Bless you for your vulnerability. Bless, bless, bless you.
I love that your kids eat such a variety of foods! Amanda, God has got you and so many others have got you too. So many people tell me that God only tests those that can cope with it but I'm not sure I believe that - we get given what we get given and our choices determine which way we go. Whatever choices you make are the right ones. Trust your instincts and you'll be ok. Thank you so much for sharing, you have a beautiful beautiful family that will be better off as as a result of the decisions you make for them. Lots of love and support from the UK, you're a true inspiration x
Thank you for sharing your story Amanda. I’ve always admired your family. I also struggle with anxiety and depression. And watching your families vlogs brings me lots of joy. I hope things get better for you soon.
Thank you for your honesty, dear Amanda! It is very encouraging to know God is always able to handle our situation. I love you and your family! Be blessed ❤️
This has really touched me. So real and authentic. You are such a wonderful woman and family. May the Lord comfort you in His Father's arms as you are comforting your children when they are anxious. Each crisis is unique and there are no quick remedies some time. Tears need to flow. You are safe dear sister and it was a very brave thing to be honest in front of the camera. Especially since people have treated you badly. 💜💜💜
Sending u all the love. What u said was exactly so right. Praying for sooooo much more. God is always with you. Thanks for your encouragement.
Thanks for sharing your heart out with us Amanda ❤️ as a young woman with anxiety it really makes me feel less alone knowing there are more woman that fight every day to keep it up and still can continue and dont giving up. Im sending you a huuuge hug ❤️❤️
Oh, Amanda! I feel this sooo deeply...I wish I lived an hour closer. You are not alone. Hugs
Thank you for trusting us, Amanda. Your willingness to share your struggles brings me hope. 💞
Thank you for opening up about this Amanda, it really does help to know you're not the only one. Sending love ❤️
Thanks for sharing, it was needed. Please remember we all love and care for you even though we have never met🙂Stay strong and lean on the one who is truly always there for all of us.
I love your honesty and appreciate it. So nice everyone gets involved too. I love that the kids always help out.
Love your heart! Prayed for you. Walk in faith.
Dear Amanda, thank you for sharing and for your transparency. There are many people who would say that true children of God, believers, shouldn't suffer from depression/anxiety etc. But be reminded that the mind is a battlefield and the enemy attacks us in that area. For no obvious reason, the spirit of heaviness came upon me out of the blue and when I got the revelation that this is not the abundant life God promised me, I began to rebuke it and speak God's promises over my life and who I am in Him. Since then, I have noticed a change that the heaviness and sadness have left me. Anytime it tries to come back, I resist it wearing the full Armor of God. You will get over this Amanda. God is working on your case and He will complete that which He started in you. I encourage you to continue praying. Don't give up. God bless you all. Love and Hugs.
Even in your struggles Amanda you send out a light to us all out here. Lots of love and light right back to you, thank you for all you do. You are a Wonderwoman and I am so excited you have your lovely forever home to settle into this year where I know you will find a special space Amanda spot to retreat to where you can stand back and exhale with the sound of the river and nature around you. God Bless and mind you always.
Thank you, Amanda, you're right, I do feel less alone on the days when getting out of bed is harder. But I am so grateful that you are finally able to connect with church and friends. You're going through an immensely difficult time with the house etc etc and I will continue to pray for you. Xxxxxx
Thank you so much for your testimony it has helped with what I've been going through. It was a blessing to me. Continued blessings to you and your family.
I am suffering from anxiety myself it was so heartwarming watching the vlog best wishes to you all ❤❤
Thank you Amanda for being honest. I know there’s so much more you feel and experience behind the scenes. Only you can decide what you need, but to me I’d love if you got alone time to just relax and take it slow. You’ve gone through hard times before, and you will get through this now. You got this.
Hello to my Favorite UA-cam Family!!! Bless your heart for being such a fantastic Mother..... your integrity shines through. ✨️

I’ve been away from UA-cam for about a month due to school, but I come back to hear Liam’s big man voice! Holy cow he’s growing up so fast! 🥹 Bless this family! ❤️
❤️❤️
You are not alone. I am like that too, but I have my family to talk to. You are also an amazing person. It reminds me of my mom.
Wonderful watching your family . Praise the lord . Amen
Bless you and your beautiful Family. Hope that Stephen had a safe travel. Loved seeing the kids playing on the playground and having fun swinging with Lincoln. So sorry that you have been going through so much Amanda and hope that you find peaceful moments and serene times where you can just be.
Thank you for being so open it will certainly help people! I love you for being you 💕
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing ❤️
I have never dealt with depression but I am so glad you referenced that no where does it say that God won’t give us more than we can handle. Just the assurance that He will never leave us and He can handle it. Said a prayer for you and I appreciate your honesty as I am sure many can relate to everything you said.
Feel better soon Amanda, you're a really strong woman and a great mom.
Thank you for sharing Amanda. I thank God every day for getting me up and moving. God bless you🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻
I struggle too ty for sharing and yes u were encouraging. I have faith in God as well. Good point I like " God doesn't have to much to handle".
Amanda, I understand what you're saying. I praise you for your strength. 🙏 I know it's a difficult task when moving your whole family and than thing's doesn't go the way you plan it. Just remember there's a light at the end of the tunnel ✨️ and prayers to you for better days ahead 🙏.
Has been going through alot the past few years. Issue with friends, relatives and families. I think I'm more towards stress and decision than depression. I have always tried to keep myself positive but it wasn't easy. I'm lucky to have found faith towards my religion. I really appreciate people who love me and shower me with lots of love which I did not get from my own parents. I'm happy for you to find the way out of your depression and anxiety. Let's continue to have a positive mindset. Love you guys and god bless you.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Family and your transparency.
To God be the Glory

I re watched the part of you talking Amanda and I think that was so hard and heartfelt for you. It made me sad for you, I'll be honest.God is always with us for the good times and the not so good times and faith will see a person through both times. Thanks for this as I think it wasn't so easy to talk about but I also think it gave people inspiration. Have a great wk. I appreciate you! I thought the soup was odd but glad your family liked it! I have to end this with hopefully putting a smile on your face!❤
Amanda you and Steven are just amazing parents & have a beautiful family. But when you have had so many changes in such a short period of time, there's going to be a lot to cope with. I'm so happy that you have met such good people where you are & a church that will give you the strength & friendships & support that will help bring you through this season. Your absolutely correct God doesn't give us more than we can handle. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you 🙏❤️🙏
As a disabled person I've been through hard times thank you for sharing

❤️❤️
Ethen always gives you flowers i love the caring Amanda certainly you are blessed.
@OFFICIAL.THEMILLERFAM Wow great news thank amanda
Awe, dear sweet Amanda 💓…I’m now a 57 year old grandmother - whose raised her sweet babies 💞 …but I am certainly very much familiar with everything you’ve described in your video - your candor, honesty is beautiful - and so appreciated - just keep it in mind, that our hormones really do influence our behavior and mood in our bodies when we’re still cycling - and stressful times and circumstances 😢😮😅😊 - contribute more so than we even realize - especially when it’s occurring - and you, of course, as mentioned, have been living through quite a few lifestyle changes and raising your children within all those things…I can only imagine how that adrenal fatigue and hormonal depression and anxiety has caught up with YOU…I am sending my deepest Christian love to you, so happy that you’re comfortable enough to share, please 🙏🏻 never forget you’re very loved, in Christ 🙏🏻♥️
Hi Amanda I didn't know about your situation I've seen your videos and you always look happy my advice is that family helps when you are down and its better to talk to someone
Amanda, I admire your courage and strength for being a mom of 7. I know it's not easy to take the responsibilities of being a mom with depression and anxiety and tried to take away my life. I, myself is not married yet, without a child and suffering from depression and anxiety since I was a teenager. Sometimes I just wanna vanish cuz of the hardship I'm going through but u are such a wonderful wife, mother and a woman. How could you manage all of that? You're such an inspiration to many women like me. Thank you!
I would love to thank you all miller fam
You’re videos keep bringing joy to me to forget everything for a little while..
Keep hanging on I’m struggling with depression anxiety and ptsd because of my childhood in my family was allot of violence and other hard stuf that a child should never see ….
I’m still in tis earth for 2 things God and my family I hope I can have a beautiful family with stability and love…!
Greetings from belguim 🙏🏼❤️
We love you! Praying for you right now! ❤️❤️
Thanks for a great video, I’ve definitely been through many hard times since October since I broke both legs and other medical issues. You guys have really helped me during this period. Good luck Amanda
❤️❤️ love you, Kate.
Beautiful family ❤. You’re blessed !!! May God brings me with family, joy and peace.
You are such an amazing mom, with lot of responsibility, so don't feel bad about your anxiety and depression, I am also dealing with anxiety, I think the world is a very hard place to live in now so alot of people have anxiety and depression, we truly can't survive without God . God continue to bless you and your beautiful family 🙏❤️🇹🇹
