      okay my enthusiasm was less appropriate than I realized now that I'm into the video and listening to what you're discussing. Love you and I'm sorry things have been rough 💙

    Sounds like you might've had a nervous breakdown. As someone who has experienced this I hope you are doing so, so much better as it's such a soul-crushing place to be and it feels like it'll never end.
    Stay most excellent my sister, it's good to see you again 💖

    I'm 42. I keep shaving my head regularly. I just love the way it feels.
    I'll recommend The Hotel New Hampshire, The Cider House Rules or A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving.

    I can't even communicate to you how grateful I am that you are being so honest and open about your mental health this past year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to putting words to all of it. Books, cooking, animal crossing, fucking shaving your head and fucking anxiety and depression. I am here for literally any and all of it.💗

    THIS is top tier content I wanna see in 2021 (turns out it’s actually quite sad, so I want to clarify that the hair content is top tier, and I hope 2021 is better for you 💖)

    I've been here since your mom would dye your hair on blogtv. I'll watch whatever content you put out and really hope you have a healthier and happier year. Congrats on surviving 2020 and happy to have you back

    When I say I squealed when I saw an upload, what I mean is a screeched and scared one of nine lives out of my cat. I adore you as a human and I am so grateful you are doing better. No matter what content you decide to throw my way, I will gladly consume it and cheer you on. Continuing to talk about mental health, reading things you love, and just generally finding yourself is such a strong thing. As someone who let someone else control my reading and then finally broke free of that, it is a journey to discover what you actually like and then shed the guilt in doing just that. Carry on darling, you will shine brighter as yourself than anyone else can for you.

    to say I'm glad you're back is an understatement. 3 years ago I saw your 2nd channel video on myeyeshadowisodd and rediscovered my love for books. So sorry this past year was so difficult. No one deserves to feel like that but as someone with depression and anxiety... I understand. You are not alone, you are loved. Especially for someone I have never met, I feel so close to you after all these years (try to make that sound less creepy as poss). Peace and joy to you in 2021, Natasha. You give to so many others in ways you don't even realize! xx

  • @amakeshiftlibrary
    @amakeshiftlibrary 3 роки тому

    I hardly ever comment on videos but
    I've been watching you since the early days of myeyeshadowisodd, I learned so much about makeup from you! and to me you're like OG UA-cam excellence. watching you talk about anything is truly such a joy and I realized right now with this video that your honesty and candidness are what keep me coming back. it's not easy to be vulnerable, especially with anxiety and depression (raises both hands) but I just wanted to share how much you're appreciated and loved. thats it haha I just wanted to say thank you for all these years and wishing you a super positive 2021 💕 whether it's reading or not, everyone will be cheering you on! much love from a fellow canadian 🍁

    Girl you be you!!! Sorry you had a rocky road. I wasn't doing well in April and May. My seizures got so out of control I spent 5 days, including Mothers Day in the hospital di they could figure out why, they had never been this bad! So yeah, summer sucked! I did however, in September, get to see my daddy and baby brother, that I hadn't seen in 23 years! Even got lucky top see my baby brother again Thanksgiving weekend, because he happened to be driving up an interstate near a city we were visiting. Glad to see you back on.

    Ok first Happy Fuckin 2021 !! Your video made me laugh and cry all at the same time. I am so glad to see you back. I am not a gamer so to follow you on twitch I wasn’t gonna do but to see you on your booktube shaving your head , being 💯 I am here for all day everyday. So glad that you are doing better and that you are here on Earth period. Love whatever you choose to post. Cook , read, make hair earrings. Etc ...

  • @karamiddleton2920
    @karamiddleton2920 3 роки тому

    I shaved my head last Summer, and I loved it! However, it only had to grow for a couple of months for it to start driving me nuts. I finally got a haircut in the Autumn sometime, and let me tell you, in the US, it was a life or death proposition. But I had to do it, and I did live.
    Your head looks amazing, and I'm glad you're feeling better and back!

  • @sagekay
    @sagekay 3 роки тому +2

    I’m not sure if this helps with figuring out if you have adhd or not but as someone who does I can let you know I am either not focused on anything or hyper focused on only one thing. Hope your doing better and you and Jeff are doing ok during the second closures

  • @blueblubloo7243
    @blueblubloo7243 3 роки тому

    I love you and your channel sooo much. Ive been here since basically the beginning of your booktube journey and I am so happy for it. I went through my own major depressive episode at the end of January/early February that really took me for a ride. As someone who has continuously dealt with mental health issues, this one was different and much much darker than anything I had previously experience. Didn't go to school for almost three weeks, and nearly didn't graduate. But I did!! And I started college and things are on the up and up! I really related to what you were saying about your own time this year. A little dark joke between me and myself is that everyone else's year turned sour in March but shit hit the fan for me in January. Anyways, I'm feeling good going into 2021 and I am so happy you are too. Can't wait to watch all your content, bookish and otherwise.

  • @peachykeenchy8194
    @peachykeenchy8194 3 роки тому

    i am so sorry to hear that your experience with your bookstore was such garbage, they can be lovely family environments or just completely toxic and it sucks that you got the bad end of that deal ): i’ve been dealing with some major anxiety stuff this year as well and it’s great to see you doing so well after going through such a shit time. can’t wait to see what this year has in store for your channel, if this page is where i finally fall into the pit that is Animal Crossing (i’ve been avoiding it because i know i’ll be obsessed) then SO BE IT!

  • @RachelKathrynnn

    Hi love, good to have you back, hope 2021 is going to be better for you.
    A tip that I have for goodreads that might help you as well. it personally helped me to not be too strict with reading goals. Meaning if I figure out I can’t meet the goal I’m gonna change it. Because to me there is nothing more stressful having to force myself to read to meet a certain number of books. Long story short, letting myself change goals along the way has been a life saver in terms of mental health.

    First of all, "don't send people hair" SENT ME.
    Second of all, I am so sorry that you have had such a tremendously hard year. I'm giving you a big virtual hug right now and sending you lots of love. Sometimes we just have to do what we need to do to get through and if Animal Crossing was that for you that's nothing to feel silly about.
    I'm so glad that you are back and making videos and I hope you continue to feel better in the coming months!

    Not needing to look at the news is a big mood. We made a rule that no one could look at it after 6pm, and I tried to stop looking, and figure if anything I need to know is happening, my partner will tell me, because he still checks.
    Also, mentioning C19 gets you demonetized? Wow, wtf platform? I'm not and likely won't ever be, but their "rules" are wild.

    I have a comment which I completely understand was unsolicited and will not be offended if it's just not helpful for you. Speaking from my own experience as a person with anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. I find I derive a lot of motivation from outside sources, cooking/cleaning for my family (just me plus partner), having a job that I am motivated by because it's helping others, caring for my pets, etc. All these efforts benefit myself, but I'd probably be far too in my head to do them just for myself. It sounds like you've found some of that learning to cook for you and your partner! Maybe, just maybe this suggestion will help you too? I agree, let's be gentle with ourselves going into 2021, every day is a process, just take it one step at a time. ✌️♥️
