tl;dw: i love youtube but the ranking system causes me anxiety. gonna focus more on content that i enjoy and not check the ranking system. if i’m gonna be anxious anyway i may as well enjoy myself
It doesn’t matter to us what content you make, as long as you love and enjoy it. Hope your health gets better and remember we love you💕 and you make my day lots better💕💕
Mental health progress isn't linear. Progress is progress. even if you have a bad days, that doesn't invalidate the progress you have made. Proud of you.
Well said. Also, slow progress is still progress. Something I need to remind myself of quite often. If we're not progressing as fast as we want to, it can be frustrating and can feel like we're just stuck and stagnating. But we are still moving, even if it's gradual, and that's worth being proud of.
@@sunnieflowers2016 You're welcome! I remember seeing a random person online say that quite a while ago, and it made a difference to how I thought about myself and my progress. I'm just passing it on. I'm glad it helped, and I really sincerely wish you the best.
Jesse throwing in an anti-capitalist rant in the middle of a mental health video is a BIG FAT FOOKIN MOOD. real talk tho, take every day at a time and go at your own pace. we're all rooting for u luv x
i’m so glad you spoke about this, mental health is such a serious thing. i feel for you, i experience a lot of the things you’ve been going through. i’m so sorry some people made those comments to you, mental health issues have nothing to do with what job you have, what kind of life you have. dealing with anxiety, depression etc can happen to anyone no matter the life they have. you’re such a beautiful soul, i hope you continue to feel better. the youtube ranking system is terrible i agree, all it does is make us anxious and make us feel bad about our content. keep doing what you love and focus on things that don’t make you anxious/help your anxiety. sending you lots of love!💗
20:16: "That's oversharing!" yeah it might be but it may also just have solved why i have had a fuckin itchy scalp for 3 years now. it just may be going to bed with wet hair. honey, you have done it again, solved someone elses problem without knowing of it, and doing it flawlessly!
I used to shower at night when I was a teenager and had to get up early for school, and went to bed with wet hair. I had no issues, BUT my mum had nightmares about me getting mouldy hair haha Plumbella is such a treasure
A youtuber that starts to get drained mentally and/or physically ends up losing that charm they had. I'd rather a youtuber take a break for as long as they need then come back recharged so I can really enjoy them for what I love the most - their personality. The main reason I watch Jessie is her personality, and if she's too drained it won't shine through. I've seriously watched UA-camrs that take half a year off or even a full year then come back and I'm still there subscribed waiting for more content, *if* they feel like doing it. It's why I can't stand comments that are so entitled like "I DEMAND MORE OF THIS".. don't demand them to work.. then it's not the same. Like I want to watch Jessie just do whatever she feels like doing, not being directed or anything.
Having a good job or money or whatever doesn't mean poor mental or physical health can't touch you, everyone is susceptible so we need to give other people the same grace that we would wants ourselves.
Yeah when she said she was judged on this... I was floored. My manger and best friend who has a very well paid job and on the surface wonderful life. But that doesn’t make his suicidal ideation any less real 😠
Hi chick, I’ve been a long time lurker and lover of your channel, but this is my first comment. I’m also a You Tuber on the music side and I have been going through the same thing the past few years. I applaud your honesty and bravery to speak up about it. I do think there’s something about having a career on YT that makes us prone to anxiety. Constantly watching our numbers and analytics, feeling bummed out and defeated when something we worked hard on didn’t get the views we thought it would, constantly terrified to take breaks in case we lose that momentum. When you pair that kind of overworked, obsessive stress to keep feeding the YT beast with a generally lonely, reclusive career behind a computer, it’s no wonder we’re all feeling overwhelmed, panicked and burnt out. Unlike most jobs, we never really get to clock off and go home to rest because our office is in our home, it’s even on our phone with little dings and notifications reminding us if we’ve done a good job or not on the latest video. I don’t have any answers for you hunny, but I’m finding journaling really, really helps ( the kind you delete afterwards so you say and rage about everything and anything ) followed by yoga or meditation or even just a nice long nap with my phone in another room. Taking tech breaks is so important and reading is wonderful. I’m currently reading ‘The Name of the Wind’ which is a gorgeous fantasy book about magic and stuff that you might really enjoy. Take care lovely. I hope you keep having more good days than bad. Xx
I don't mean to hijack your comment but I was struggling to word my own that was covering all the same bases and by the time I finished writing I just felt a bit stupid about it, but reading yours, you totally nailed all the things I was thinking so... Hear, hear!
Social media is just really really so hard on mental health and The Social Dilemma on netflix shows why. It's often when I've been on social media too much, and also foods and time of the month affect my mental health pretty noticeably too. It's so helpful that more people are talking about it.
Can’t believe someone said that thing about you having a ‘desirable’ job. Obv they don’t understand how stressful/ pressuring UA-cam can be as well as mental health. U go girl. Ly and can relate to mental health issues. Stay strong. Love u hen! Xx
Yeah like it doesnt matter if your job is literally cuddling sleepy golden retriever puppies, you can be too sick (mentally or physically) to do that job. You deserve "medical leave" even if you're self employed. 💖
@@horshaed Yeah you could have a job you absolutely LOVE to do and still get sick of doing it for a while. If you keep letting it fester you'll eventually come to hate what you're doing.. and everything just keeps going downhill.. Everyone deserves breaks no matter how "easy" their job is or how "desirable" it is. I'm in a similar situation where I stay home and I basically take care of the house and raise my brother (I'm 28 he's 7..) - that's my "job", but I don't get 'paid'. I get a lot of people saying how I'm so lucky because I get to sleep when I want, play games when I want, etc.. no it's not that easy.. I have to keep the house clean, feed him, teach him, help with his schoolwork, and so on. I'll be up from like 9-10AM and not get to do anything I really want to until like 9PM.. People also think whenever my mom's off work she just takes over.. no she's tired and takes a nap or relaxes for a while. Even when she's around I still don't really stop being the "nanny". Even she tells me I need to get a job sometimes and I'm like "..When exactly should I pencil that in?" The main reason we're in this situation is because if I work, she has to work less.. if I work, I'll make *much* less than she does.. so if I had an "actual job" we wouldn't make enough. So I end up feeling stuck in life quite often and I also have terrible social anxiety.. Anyway, sorry for the rant.. lol
As someone bitter, petty and jealous about the way their life turned out... that comment was atrocious. I do think sometimes UA-camrs are ignorant of their privilidge, but taking a break due to anxiety isn't one of those times!! I can be an absolute b!tch and that comment sounded so insensitive. Also, can I just say 99% of the time her comments are so wholesome! Plumbella brings out the best in folks
@@Eventide215 I hope things get better, sounds like stuff is rly hard. If u can try to talk to ur mum about how you’ve been feeling, openness can lead to at least understanding even if it doesn’t get you a solution. Wishing you all the best xxx
I studied oversharing whilst at Uni! In a conversation where one person “over shares” and one person doesn’t (for example in a UA-cam video!) the person who shares will feel very vulnerable and question what they have shared. However the person you have shared to will feel closer to you. Seems straight forward but it’s always good to remember that when you share people feel they know you better and trust more. Always put your mental health first as much as economics can allow! (I’m also a slag for oversharing and questionable stability)
Thanks for this comment, as a person who tends to overshare and has social anxiety disorder I heavily worry about this, maybe this knowledge helps a bit :)
Lucie....thank you for this tidbit because I have a gigantic issue with feeling vulnerable after an overshare. I will overshare and NEVER speak to them again. This has happened since childhood.
I started crying when you talked about your dad sitting with you and how genuinely helpful your family has been. I'm really glad you have a supportive system. You are my absolute favorite simmer and one of my favorite youtubers. I completely understand the mental illness problems. I haven't been able to do much of anything lately (including play sims or any game) and therapy isn't helping much for me but I really hope you take care of yourself in any way you need to.
People who say she’s sayin that she’s ungrateful and leaving because she doesn’t care.... She edits the crap out of her videos and does this for your entertainment so if she needs a break she can take a break! Go watch lilsimsie or deligracy or something else there are more youtubers. Don’t get mad at her. she’s greatful and needs a break
Yeah that made me really mad actually... People who comment such things have probably never had contact with mental illness and doesn't have any idea what it could do to someone... And their job does not matter in anyway in that regard because if you are I'll you take time off jo matter what job
@@michelleblling803 exactly and people who go to regular jobs get scheduled holiday they can use and take off. UA-camrs dont have this luxury and often have extra pressure of having to upload constantly
@@LL-wu5ui both ways kind of work, really... now youtube is a job but a few years ago it didn't give any money to the creators, it was just a fun thing to do. It does pay now but it's incredibly unstable. And regardless of if or how much she gets paid on the backend, youtube and her videos are completely free for anyone to watch without ever personally giving her a cent. So, I get what you're saying and yeah it's her job so on one hand you could point out she edits for that reason, but on the other hand she is also spending hours and hours on something that doesn't guarantee her a paycheck and may simply end up being for our free entertainment. Regardless, the people telling her she's got it easy so mental health and breaks shouldn't be a thing are highly ignorant. Mental health doesn't care what your job is or if you have one or what you're paid... plus I'd challenge every one of them to deal with the same level of constant opinions and nitpicking and insults and come out totally fine and unbothered. Not even taking into account essentially being a contractor for a living with no idea how long your job will exist or pay you a living wage ... and if you have to stop everyone has an opinion on it
I always tell my students that quote “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life” isn’t 100% true. Even if you love your job, there are going to be things that stress you out. We don’t always have good days and unfortunately things happen that we have no control over. Sometimes we have to take a step back to pick up the pieces, and then you can get up and keep going. Thank you for sharing! Taking mental breaks should be normalized.
The worst thing about Anixety is logically knowing your reactions to a situation seem to be out of proportion but in reality you're dealing with a lot your just don't realise at the time. Even people without Anixety are going through a lot at the moment with COVID but just know you're not alone and keep talking to your family/boyfriend about how you're feeling no matter how silly you think it is, just an ear to talk to will help so much. Keep doing what you're doing, love yourself, look after yourself 💕
"oversharing" - what you mean is discussing issues that some people can relate to but its generally taboo to talk about, so really, what you're doing is giving a platform for them? thats a POSITIVE. keep it UP. its smth i personally relate to(the worse i feel mentally the less i eat.sometimes itd get so bad i wouldnt eat for days and i just do NOT see it talked about enough!!! power to you!). take all the time you need
Hey Jesse, I would like to tell you, first, that we all think we can get on without medication and/or therapy, we see it as a weakness sometimes. I had my first panick attack at 23? I'm nearing 40 and I finally decided 3 years ago to go fully into therapy and medication. I never thought I could be this calm and chill as I am now. But that period in my life was strange, I was sometimes acting out, sometimes go on club binge, then panick attack and social anxiety. My friend group shed really fast because I was loosing my temper at them (the ones I have now have kept with me and I'm so fucking grateful) I couldn't create anymore, nor read, which are two things I used to do all the time. This made me feel less than. Like I had lost the artistic value I used to have and that's it. The first sign that therapy worked, I started a podcast like just a couple of months after and now a youtube haha. Can you imagine, almost 40 and lost all those years not creating. I used to have bulimia at the same time, now I eat... ok maybe too much lol, I gained weight like never, but you know what? I'm fine with it., if my brain is fine, the rest doesn't matter Also, like you said, we have to focus on having fun and creating within our interests. Anyway sorry for my rambling hen, just wanted to let you know, you are not alone, we're a huge group of anxious and panicky people and we are right there with you :)
100% agree with the studio situation. I will have a video I’m proud of, the comments are lovely, those who have watched it, enjoyed it - then I’ll go into studio and it’ll rip it to shreds. I also have anxiety and this new feature really stresses me out :(
Imagine being so hungry for content you treat your creators like machines instead of the humans they are. Screw those comments, girl. Look, you're doing a good job. Take the break you need to take. I promise we'll be here to support you when you're ready to come back.
"You don't need time off." Is such a privileged statement. I'm mentally ill/diagnosed with social anxiety. I'm thankful for what I have, but mental illness doesn't give a care about what you have/your job. I hope you're doing okay rn. Sending love your way. Do whatever you need to keep yourself healthy.
Dude, this sounds so familiar. I ended up leaving a job and moving home when I discovered that the not-being-able-to-breathe-feeling wasn't asthma, but anxiety. It's SO hard to spot your own anxiety. Don't beat yourself up over it. You're doing amazing. We love your videos, and your honesty, and your delightful attitude about everything. Your vids always make me smile. Thank you so much. (Def try Dianna Wynne Jones if you like reading and Harry Potter. Her books make for really good comfort reads, and are also shamelessly English fantasies with magic and stuff.)
Kat C just came to say that I’m proud of you Kat for recognising that you weren’t happy too. Sometimes I don’t think we reward ourselves for realising anxiety. I hope you’re doing better now ❤️ xx
Yeah I get in and out of depression for 7 years without realizing I got into because of anxiety until I started having anxiety attacks. At least I knew how to recognize anxiety attacks. When it starts young you think it is normal to be like that but it isn't. Even as a medical student it is difficult to recognise.I can't imagine how difficult for other people.
When I went to see my therapist for anxiety, she said something that I always try to repeat to myself when I feel bad, which is "thoughts are not facts". Whatever negative thing you're thinking about yourself, it's not a fact, it's just a thought. It feels differently, but in the end, what you say to yourself is not necessarily a fact.
If that teaching resonates with you a lot, you might like to read into Buddhism :) The Buddha taught that we are not our thoughts, we are the observer of our thoughts. Thich Nhat Hanh is a great Zen master as well as author and poet. ❤️
Oof that “thoughts are not facts” kinda hit again. Anxiety, depression, and trauma are a very hard reality to grasp. It’s been a year and I still don’t know which part of my mind is actually mine
Gonna be honest, after I was hospitalized for dissociation and depression due to anxiety, all I had to do was put on one of your or RT's videos and I would immediately begin to feel a bit more human. You guys genuinely bring so much joy to our lives without even trying, your good hearts just radiate through your videos.
I can't begin to explain how messed up UA-cam Studio rank thing is for my mental health. It really hurts when a video is 10/10 and it breaks your heart and you question everything. Girl I feel you on that
@@lilacpenguin5329 I think they meant when a video is 10/10 and they put a lot of effort on it just for it to not do well or not meet their expectations. All that hard work for nothing
Well, shizzzz... I typically watch videos within a few days, not a few hours, and that's mainly cause I want to spend the proper time watching a video I want to watch... and as a UA-cam consumer, I'm sorry my watching habits have been causing people stress and anxiety
*This comment is for Jessi to read when her brain is lying to her:* Jessi, I know your brain will tell you different, but you are one of the few youtubers that makes me cackle, and I always love your videos. You've never made me feel upset about anything and I've never been angry or felt animosity when you *didn't* upload. I just get excited when you do :) Please take care of yourself and know that you've got big supportive fans. And a lot of us have been in similar boats. I'm also really sorry for your loss. There is no wrong or right way to grieve. You just do. I've been through that kind of traumatic loss. It's ok to feel fucked up from it. PS. UA-cam Studio is a lying bitch. Don't listen to her, lol. Listen to us 💙
Yes out of all the youtubers I watch, my fiance knows plumbella by name. In facebook groups everyone always mentions her more than anyone else. Shes so so so ICONIC. She doesnt even know it 😔.
Out of all the UA-camrs I watch, Jessie is the one I love to watch. I'm an Autistic adult who loves the sims and faces a lot of mental health issues. Her videos always make me smile and I get teary when I hear she isn't doing well because I want her happy. Jessie, if you're reading this we love you for your personality and the content you create. I look forward to watching the new styles of content and hope you feel much better soon 💚💚💚
I can only 2nd this post. Girl! You can do no wrong! I adore when you upload but that doesn't mean I will be upset if you don't. Glad to simply have you as a fellow human in my lifetime and be able to enjoy your take on games; one of the few simple joys left in life. :)
I don't think you're oversharing because you're not romanticizing your mental health struggles. Lots of love Jesse, you're hella strong and you have tons of support
Thank you for mentioning that depression and anxiety are chemical imbalances in the brain! Often people forget that it is literally a inside problem (that can be triggered by outside factors) that's why mental health problems can effect a variety of people despite their privileges, economic status, life style, and comfort. Thank you so much for mentioning this I really appreciate it💗
I LIVE for these youtubers that are quite real about their menstrual cycles and their anxiety and depression because it makes me feel like I'm not alone, hope you feel better soon Jesse ❤
This is SO SO good to hear because every time I put out a period talk video or MH vlog I get so nervous of the backlash. So thank you for sharing positive feedback on those of us who put ourselves out there to help others. You’re amazing 💕💕💕💕xax
Seriously, as a Psychologist Im very happy you recognized your warning signs, that you were needing some mental health help, time off and a good support system. Love your quirky content, be you girly!
thank you for talking about this, i didn't realize how much i self-sabotage or gaslight myself, especially with my mental health. please feel free to take as much time off as you need whenever you need to, i'd rather see you at your best with content you are proud of
Thank you for "oversharing" when you open up about your mental health, you're helping end the stigma! Thats an amazing thing to use your platform for. Also, I'd still be here waiting patiently for your vids even if you only uploaded once every two months. I hope you dont feel pressure from your subsceibers to push out content if you're not ready to; you owe us NOTHING. your content is a GIFT to us and we should be THANKFUL!!
I may have said this before here but I have a physical disability, something I’ve had since birth, and I also live with anxiety, depression and agoraphobia. My mental issues cause me more difficulty than my physical disability ever could. If you don’t understand, that’s fine....just don’t judge. And something that I’ve struggled with is knowing how important it is to speak up about my issues. We have to talk about these things because no one should be left alone to deal with this on their own. I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to experience what I’ve gone through.
I'm exactly like you 💙 Recently I started sharing a bit more about my poor physical health and how it has deteriorated my mental health. It actually brought some hope and feeling back to my brain, I think.
Jesse, when I snapped I stopped eating and sleeping for 2 weeks. That was 2 years ago and I am still putting myself back together. It really is an ongoing thing. I love your honesty and your openess
Thank you for talking about it. I remember when I had panic attacks, can’t eat shit, not even able to talk, and so much more. mental health is hard to understand for people who don’t struggle with it. I still struggle some days to see the light and be happy, loving my self, and much more. I still have days that i just wanna cry all day. And talking about it helps so much. Thx for talking about it. Lov ya.
I've watched a lot of your videos but seldom commented...just wanted to chime in to say I'm proud of you for taking steps to take care of yourself and wish you nothing but the best!
I just want to take a moment to compliment you on that hair bow because it is just TOO cute! Mental health is something people need to start taking seriously. I think that people just need to realize that it is a real thing. I adore your willingness to be open about your struggles despite those negative individuals.
It's very clear that you are appreciative of your job and your viewers. Anyone who has watched even 1 of your videos knows this. Mental health problems aren't particular to a certain type of person. No matter what line of work you're in, it is important to take care of your physical and mental well-being above all else. It's a shame that anyone would leave a comment like that when you say you need to take time off. Your audience today seems mostly understanding and supports any choices you make that prioritize your mental health. Take care of yourself, plummy x
"You deserve time off from your own head" oh my gosh.. such truth. I get very stressed thinking about going to sleep because I'm gonna be alone with my thoughts and have panic attacks before I tire myself out enough to fall asleep. Big hugs to you sis. I know you are probably not looking for advice, but for anyone who is reading this and they want some more wholesomeness/respectfulness in their insta feed, my friend Leah Sian Davies posts stuff that really helps me and might help others too. (Srry I really don't mean to sound like an advert) Sending love ❤
You know, I don’t really have serious problems, but there are times when my head just won’t stop thinking about something, so to stop it I usually just listen to music and use the mood I get in and start imagining a world of my own with my own story or I imagine myself with a famous person that I like and just become friends with or Idk, a fictional world like harry potter, so when I go to sleep , my head is more focused in that world I entered with music that with all my problems that keep wanting to occupy my head and give me more anxiety
@@elternera6212 it's so good and helpful to know what you can do to self soothe :) for me it's usually reading, I guess it is similar! It's also losing yourself in a different world. And looking up statistics about what I'm stressing about also calms me down 😅
I can completely relate to this!! UA-cam analytics gives me the worst anxiety. Every time a video doesn't end up in the 1-5 range on UA-cam studio I get so discouraged. I always put so much thought and effort into each video and seeing that one isn't performing that well can be so disappointing. When all the kids went back to school I had a huge decrease in engagement and performance and I started comparing my old videos to my new videos and thinking I was better back then. It's a vicious circle. Even when your videos do really well it's this high of feeling so accomplished and then you fall even lower when a video doesn't perform as well.. It's very frustrating. :(
Really proud and impressed with your strength to post this video; its not something everyone could do! Mental health needs this kind of exposure as all of us have experienced. Thank you! ♥️
Glorious pink hair, absolutely adorable orange top, comfy PJ pants and slippers?!! DREAM GOALS. Also, editing you with the added robe is SUCH A MOOD I'm here for it and you
Take care, Jesse❣ And don't worry about your streaming times! I was even watching your streams around 2-4am Japan time. With that schedule adjustment, it'll actually be easier for me to catch you live 😘👌
I BROKE DOWN at school today. A lot, and I slipped something that I've had trauma with for a few years. But it really helped me, and it's comforting to now watch this video and relate so much. I love you!!
i barely even play the sims anymore, but jesse really is one of those youtubers who is entertaining no matter what she does. if she suddenly switched her content to something else entirely, i would absolutely keep watching her. it makes me so happy to have found a content creator like her who i can relate to on such a deep level
Thank -you for this Jesse. I just got out of the hospital two days ago...actually when I wasn't rolling around in hospital in severe pain...I watched you on my phone...you helped me survive. I am so glad you are honest. Thank-you. Stuff the bloody ranking system...what bastards. You are not a number. I love your channel so much, as you are extremely honest and refreshing. Don't change. I mean keep seeing your therapist and taking your medication...I mean don't change who you are, just to keep others happy....as I have learnt you can not please everyone, that just makes you ill and very unhappy. So many of us struggle with mental health issues, but only the brave open up and talk about them. I know from experience. My son and I both have mental health issues. We both see a wonderful Therapist and take the correct medication. Which can take some time. During my time in hospital recently my son stopped eating, sleeping and totally shut down. He was having severe panic attacks and anxiety. I had to beg the Doctors to rush through all my test results, X-rays, CT scans, blood tests etc, so I could get an earlier, faster discharge from hospital, to get home to my son, and save him. My Mother, his Grandmother, was supposed to be taking care of him, but she is very different from me. She is quite dismissive and chooses to ignore rather than help. She does not like to admit that mental health problems exist. I have never had the comfort and support of a loving family. But I have created a supportive loving one for my son, as I know it is necessary to survive. I am so happy you have the love and support of your family, it is necessary in order to heal. I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved friend. You have been through so much. Be proud of yourself. Don't listen to the negative naysayers and the nasty cows who judge you and tell you, that you are lucky to have this job...blah, blah, blah...stuff them. No one has the right to judge another. They have not lived your life, nor walked in your shoes, Severe anxiety and panic attacks are crippling and very scary. Therapist are wonderful people if you find the right one. They can even help to kind of 'rewire' your brain and challenge negative, destructive thoughts. The correct medication can help with chemical imbalances in your brain. Having support is so necessary, also. Like you said today. We all need a holiday from our mind and our thoughts. Your Therapist was bang on right there. That is why even the smallest positive change, what you are now doing, like going for a walk, drawing, reading, meditation can do wonders. Just one small change helps. Thank you again for sharing Jesse. You helped me personally deal with a massive panic attack I was having tonight...I was worried I was going to end up in the hospital again...and have to leave my son alone with my distant mother, but listening to you calmed me down, and made me feel less alone in the world, and remember to take one day at a time. I wish you all the best lovely Jesse. Keep taking care of yourself. Be kind and patient to yourself. You are on the right track now, it takes time, but you took the first step and asked for help and now you are getting help. Sending you loads of healing love from Australia. You are wonderful and you are loved and you deserve all that is good in this World. Thank you for being brave. By the way, I really loved your drawing...I have been saving up for a new I Pad so I can use Procreate. Drawing keeps me happy and gives me a break...from overwhelming thoughts. Take Care Lovely One xoxo
I don't typically comment on videos but I want to let you know you're such a great youtuber and I think me and plenty of others could care less about what you upload because we are here to watch you. You're a wonderful human and I want nothing more than for your mental health to improve!!!
I would just like to say, I had a bit of a breakdown around the end of last year and took a month off work because of it and I am in a standard 9-5 office job, it doesn't make a difference what job you have whether it's on social media or in an office or whatever, if you need the time off for your mental health then you need time off for your mental health and that's that! Also, just because you watch someone on yt or twitch doesn't mean you know them or their lives behind the camera so maybe don't make assumptions about people you don't know and take care of you and your own instead
* insert here Eliza’s voice * Take a break! Seriously tho, I’m glad that you’re an ‘oversharer’. As someone who deals with anxiety and panic attacks, it’s good to see that I’m not alone in this. Please take time for yourself and care for your mental health! To get better is a process, and as every other processes in life it can be fast or slow. It’s not always up to us to control, specially when it’s a chemical thing. What we can do to help it is to take a time for ourselves, take good care of our physical health and try to not feel guilty about those thoughts (that are uncontrollable) anyways, we’re here for you. hope you can get better soon and find a place of balance in relation to your content and time :)
I’m usually all about love, but screw anyone who thinks that people “shouldn’t” have mental health issues because of their job, economic status or literally anything else.
i never comment but i just want to say thank you. thank you for being real and sharing your story with all of us. it's just so incredibly brave to be so honest in front of so many people. as someone who has really struggled with mental health and is surrounded by people who invalidate all of my experiences, it makes such a world of difference to see someone be real and honest with their own experiences. it makes a lot of us feel a lot less alone, probably more than you realize. seeing one of my favorite youtubers share something so personal is so helpful. thank you so much for everything you do, i hope that things start to get better for you soon from the bottom of my heart.
As a fellow autistic person with social anxiety issues, this pandemic is very much a mixed bag. I don't mind my classes and some social stuff now being online, where I can relax and be comfortable in my own home, but I do mind because it has completely disrupted many other areas of my daily and weekly routine that I had long become accustomed to. I can adapt unlike others, but I don't prefer to, if I'm given my own way. Best wishes to you, Plum, you're amazing at what you do, and we appreciate you for who you are, flaws and all!
"It's just easier to have a dryer in my kitchen than to make a phone call" A WHOLE ASS MOOD Also, definitely not over sharing. But even if you were, I feel like it's so important to be able to have these super relatable conversations about mental health and the effects of anxiety and all. So many of us suffer from it and while everyone's experience is unique, it's good to know we aren't the only ones going through this. It's a strange sort of fraternity/sorority we're all in. Sending you love, hen 💜💜💜
I don’t really do youtube much but I love watching you! Your so real and I love you for it. Im 31 now and had my first panic attack when I was 30. It lasted 2 weeks non stop. it was such a dark time, I thought my throat was closing and I wasn’t getting enough air. I lived in flight mode for all that time and it was exhausting. I didn’t understand or comprehend anxiety till I experienced it myself. I have had flare ups since and couldn’t cope so I went to the doctor which Im so glad I did. I would go again if I needed. I wish it could be turned off, there is no trigger and sometimes I don’t even think Im worried it just comes on. You are amazing! Keep being you and be kind to yourself. You can’t pour from a empty cup so make sure you keep your cup full first. Wishing you light and happy ❤️
Thank you so much for talking about this ❤️ Mental health is so important to be open about (obviously when the person talking about it is comfortable). I think a lot of us have been there. Remember everyone to take care of yourself. Take your meds if you have them, talk to a doctor if you think you need them. There's no shame in having mental health issues, getting therapy or getting medications. Also about the loss of your friend - that is devastating. He absolutely was family. I have a similar setup where my mom is great friends with my nanny - they grew up in the same small town. My nanny is my second mother, her two sons are my brothers. Losing one of them would absolutely destroy me.
I wish I could hug you! I literally just was talking about my breakdown to my mom (I have been going through this all with you right now no joke!) But I told my mom "I mean I'm normal im.just chemically unbalanced!". Just know this girl over here is struggling too and you have been helping me get through and survive it all! Your not alone
I love you just talking about deeper stuff, because we are all people and being down is a human thing and it's ok. I think you are so smart and funny and beautiful person, and everybody needs a break or change sometimes. Give yourself some "me-time" 💚💚 But i love listening your mind.
Ohh luv. Take ur time. Everyone deserves a break and we understand completely. I’m struggling with something similar because of quarantine and coming back into the world. Luv you ❤️
I absolutely love watching your videos and I love how honest and open you are about your mental health, I wish more people were like you! I wanted to drop this comment as, I could relate to you so much throughout this video. The symptoms you have experienced are so close to mine and I’ve been diagnosed with PMDD. When you mentioned you suffered with PMS but you also had all these side symptoms, I instantly thought it could be PMDD. PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysmorphic Disorder) is a more serious form of PMS as usually occurs a few weeks before your period (in the Luteal phase) but, can occur at random times throughout the month/year. Basically, it’s not caused by a hormone imbalance, rather, it’s the way your body reacts to normal hormone changes, basically your body is sensitive to itself! It’s not very well known and it’s hard to get diagnosed but, it’s worth speaking to your doctor about it. I suffered with it for 12 years, I thought I was broken, then someone told me about it, I tracked my symptoms for 3+ months then went to see my doctor and got given the diagnosis. I’m still figuring out how to live with it but just having a set diagnosis has helped me so much! I really wish you all the best and thank you so much for your videos, they cheer me up when I’m struggling with my own mental health 💕
Hun we would rather have you do what you need and come back when you want to or feel up to it; than not have you at all. Take care of yourself, you are loved and cherished and you deserve to put yourself first 💚
I started watching at the beginning of quarantine and you quickly became my favorite person on here. I loved the history of series and your editing style (I'm an editor, so I really love how much you play.) Hearing you talk about your health and myself dealing with my own mental health and new diagnoses in the past few months has made your channel feel like a safe space. I've had to talk to my boss about spending less time working because my mental health was hurting, and it was so hard. Taking a break is really brave and not something to be ashamed of. Take care of yourself, youtube studio can't tell you how much you mean to us. 💖
i think i speak for lots of people when i say how nice it is to hear honest, unfiltered discussion about mental health and just how ugly it can be. it isn't neatly packaged with a pretty little bow on top. it is so often crippling, and horrendous to be the one dealing with it. as someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, and a couple other things, this video felt like a breath of fresh air. i haven't been following you for very long because i am not personally someone who plays the sims, but i love your content because you are so open and honest about your struggles. as much as it may come off to you as over sharing, i think doing that can be immensely important. not everything can be filtered and pretty, sometimes the things that have to be said need to be raw. i greatly appreciate that. i'm glad to hear that you've taken the time you need, because /you/ are more important than anything else. i'm terribly sorry for your loss, and i hope that your family also has the time they need to grieve and mourn. we all love you very much, and for every shitty insensitive comment you get about your situation, there are 10s, if not 100s more that are in support of your decisions. thank you for being so open, as much as it may hurt. thank you for speaking out about your mental health. we're glad that you're back
I just want to take the time to tell you how much seeing your videos means to me . You are such a wonderful person with a great charismatic personality. I love how open you are about mental health and I feel like a lot more people need to be more open about it in order to make others feel a little bit more normal because it is normal. Wish you all the strength on your journey to bettermental health. Xoxo
So glad we live in a time where we feel we can speak openly about these topics. Even ten-twelve years ago, mental health was not really talked about, and most people (like myself) would suffer in silence. Hoping you continue to be on the mend ♥️
I've been in therapy since April and just two days ago and two days ago I thought for the first time that I was really getting somewhere. Before that it was always kinda "meh", some days I really didn't want to go to therapy. And then two days ago I actually understood something BIG about myself, after half a fecking year in therapy. As someone else in the comments has mentioned, mental health progress isn't linear. Please take all the time you need and never feel pressured to upload. The people who are truly your community will never pressure you to upload anything (also my anxiety doesn't even let me watch new content most of the time, so I just re-watch (mostly your) videos the entire time lol). It must be incredibly hard to share your mental health shit with people on the internet, and I just want to let you know I am so thankful for people like you because it shows me I am not alone with the shit that's going on in my brain 🙃❤
i love you to pieces. i know it's so hard and so exhausting sometimes, and having an unhealthy brain can be very overwhelming, but i promise you're doing amazing. you take your time and keep your healthy thoughts safe and we'll all be here no matter what. sending you a big hug lovely
I'm so glad you're doing better and proud of you for speaking about this 💕 you are also so right about the youtube ranking system by the way.. that thing stressing me the hell out!
I'm so friggin thankful for these videos. I would NEVER in a million years wish my depression or BPD or generalized anxiety on ANYONE, but it still feels so comforting hearing people being genuine about their mental health and just how they're doing doing overall. "Things got bad and then they got better AND THEN THEY GOT A LOT WORSE," that phrase right there is basically my reaction in retrospect to when I was first diagnosed with depression 6 years ago. Now I'm a first-year college student and things have not been this bad... technically ever, in terms of my mental illness. It's so hard to hold onto hope especially nowadays, and honestly I was going through a bit of a rough bit today, but seeing you talk in this video being open and talking about the ups and downs over quarantine and even the past year, as fucked up as this sounds I feel a little better. I'm wishing you much happiness going forward and I think we can both beat our own demons.
omg you and Dan uploaded at about the exact same time, power couple 😍 I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to share this with us, as someone with my own mental health struggles, it's refreshing to see people discussing mental health without the shame or the stigma. I'm glad you're getting back into what you enjoy, of course we want the best for you, for you to upload at your own pace, to do what makes you happy. Sending love to you and RumbleTumbleGame, you are hands down one of the best creators on this site, keep doing what you do 💖💖💖
I absolutely love the fact that you are open to your viewers and "over share." Its very nice and relaxing to see people just openly talk about their period and mental health since I go through those things as well.
I'm so proud of you. For putting yourself and your mental health first, for speaking up about the issues, and for making the changes that you need. Take care of yourself, you deserve it!
It doesn’t matter what job you have or how much money you make, mental health impacts us all and should be prioritised, it’s just as important as physical health! You do what you need to help yourself Jesse and don’t feel obligated to do anything to please others, especially when it’s detrimental to you 💗✨
I laughed and then started to cry at your mini moment at 15:12 because honestly, I feel like that so often (not about youtube but just in general), and it was really nice to hear someone else say you know what this is just at the expense of my mental health and I'm done with that. thank you, love.
Literally, I resonate with this entire video, but when you said "I get a headache when my ears get cold" I felt that. Seriously, you're amazing for talking about this and being open with your mental health. It lets people know that it is okay to struggle sometimes, and that everybody does. Also gets the message across that talking does help. I suffer from OCD, bipolar depression, anxiety, and I am a hypochondriac. Breaks from work is SO IMPORTANT no matter what job you have. So keep doing what you need to do, the right people will understand and stick around :D All the support from me! Love you and your content.
Yes, get it plumbob Ross!!!! Your first climb from rock bottom is the hardest and it doesn’t mean you won’t hit it again but you’ll know how to get out quicker and safer! A wee quote from my therapist last year 🥰 keep being you J we all loves the content! Xx
i struggle with my mental health too and i think it's so important to see a popular youtuber talk so openly about this subject. thank you for making lots of people feel seen and less alone, i wish you the best ❤
I appreciate your bravery to openly share your mental health journey 💕💕💕 As someone who has suffered the majority of my life with mental illness, I LOVE when people share their stories because it truly shows the strength it takes to get through daily life. My anxiety focuses on the things I love most. Sending so much love and I am constantly inspired and impressed with the strength of those of us with mental illness. Trust me when I say you have no idea how incredible you all are to continue pushing forward each day 🥰🥰🥰🥰
thank you for being so open and honest with all of us 💖 I am so glad you're taking steps to help you feel better, always remember that your community are here to support (as much as we can)! you're amazing 💛
I think this is really beautiful and so brave of you to be so open and raw about your situation. Anxiety and depression is so constricting and I believe a lot of people go through it without realizing for a long time. UA-camr or not you are still human with human feelings. I wish the absolute best for you and your recovery.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m currently in the middle of this anxiety cycle - specifically the point where I feel like I’ve lost the ability to do my job - I thought there was something wrong with me and I’ve been petrified all week. After hearing you explain what you’re going through, I don’t feel as scared anymore. Solidarity my friend. Thanks again for sharing
Watching this whist going through a hard time with my own mental health, trying to get through it but hearing Jesse being so open and real about mental health makes me feel less alone, she speaks so much sense 🥺
Thank you plumbella I've really been struggling with my mental health too I tried to overdose recently and it's good to know that I'm not alone and all people can go through this. Thank you ❤
tl;dw: i love youtube but the ranking system causes me anxiety. gonna focus more on content that i enjoy and not check the ranking system. if i’m gonna be anxious anyway i may as well enjoy myself
ILY
Look after yourself. That's the only thing that matters to us
Take care of yourself 💙
Love you, keep your head up :)
It doesn’t matter to us what content you make, as long as you love and enjoy it. Hope your health gets better and remember we love you💕 and you make my day lots better💕💕
Mental health progress isn't linear. Progress is progress. even if you have a bad days, that doesn't invalidate the progress you have made. Proud of you.
Well said. Also, slow progress is still progress. Something I need to remind myself of quite often. If we're not progressing as fast as we want to, it can be frustrating and can feel like we're just stuck and stagnating. But we are still moving, even if it's gradual, and that's worth being proud of.
Thank you, both of you, for your kind words!!!
@@starlittardis2049 i needed to read this so much. thank you
@@sunnieflowers2016 You're welcome! I remember seeing a random person online say that quite a while ago, and it made a difference to how I thought about myself and my progress. I'm just passing it on. I'm glad it helped, and I really sincerely wish you the best.
Jesse throwing in an anti-capitalist rant in the middle of a mental health video is a BIG FAT FOOKIN MOOD.
real talk tho, take every day at a time and go at your own pace. we're all rooting for u luv x
@@thewinner7382
Is this sarcasm? 💀
LikerOfThings you know that anti-capitalism isn’t automatically pro-Soviet, right?
i’m so glad you spoke about this, mental health is such a serious thing. i feel for you, i experience a lot of the things you’ve been going through. i’m so sorry some people made those comments to you, mental health issues have nothing to do with what job you have, what kind of life you have. dealing with anxiety, depression etc can happen to anyone no matter the life they have. you’re such a beautiful soul, i hope you continue to feel better. the youtube ranking system is terrible i agree, all it does is make us anxious and make us feel bad about our content. keep doing what you love and focus on things that don’t make you anxious/help your anxiety. sending you lots of love!💗
20:16: "That's oversharing!" yeah it might be but it may also just have solved why i have had a fuckin itchy scalp for 3 years now. it just may be going to bed with wet hair. honey, you have done it again, solved someone elses problem without knowing of it, and doing it flawlessly!
So? Did you go to bed with dry head? And did it do the trick? :)
🙌
Yo not gonna lie, same. I love showering at night before bed.... fuck. Lmao
moonbaconn why do you have to wet your hair in the shower?
I used to shower at night when I was a teenager and had to get up early for school, and went to bed with wet hair. I had no issues, BUT my mum had nightmares about me getting mouldy hair haha
Plumbella is such a treasure
Remember to take time for yourself. Don’t feel pressure to upload, ever. We want you to be happy and healthy more than anything
Exactly
Yeah I’ve just commented exactly this!💛
100% we just want you to take care of yourself Queen! 💕
A youtuber that starts to get drained mentally and/or physically ends up losing that charm they had. I'd rather a youtuber take a break for as long as they need then come back recharged so I can really enjoy them for what I love the most - their personality. The main reason I watch Jessie is her personality, and if she's too drained it won't shine through. I've seriously watched UA-camrs that take half a year off or even a full year then come back and I'm still there subscribed waiting for more content, *if* they feel like doing it. It's why I can't stand comments that are so entitled like "I DEMAND MORE OF THIS".. don't demand them to work.. then it's not the same. Like I want to watch Jessie just do whatever she feels like doing, not being directed or anything.
Eventide exactly right. I’m glad that majority or all of her viewers are supportive
I love how comfy Plum looks while editing
i literally only take my dressing gown off to shower and record
Having a good job or money or whatever doesn't mean poor mental or physical health can't touch you, everyone is susceptible so we need to give other people the same grace that we would wants ourselves.
Yeah when she said she was judged on this... I was floored. My manger and best friend who has a very well paid job and on the surface wonderful life. But that doesn’t make his suicidal ideation any less real 😠
Most celebrities have a mental health issues so it’s a given😅
Hi chick, I’ve been a long time lurker and lover of your channel, but this is my first comment. I’m also a You Tuber on the music side and I have been going through the same thing the past few years. I applaud your honesty and bravery to speak up about it. I do think there’s something about having a career on YT that makes us prone to anxiety. Constantly watching our numbers and analytics, feeling bummed out and defeated when something we worked hard on didn’t get the views we thought it would, constantly terrified to take breaks in case we lose that momentum. When you pair that kind of overworked, obsessive stress to keep feeding the YT beast with a generally lonely, reclusive career behind a computer, it’s no wonder we’re all feeling overwhelmed, panicked and burnt out. Unlike most jobs, we never really get to clock off and go home to rest because our office is in our home, it’s even on our phone with little dings and notifications reminding us if we’ve done a good job or not on the latest video. I don’t have any answers for you hunny, but I’m finding journaling really, really helps ( the kind you delete afterwards so you say and rage about everything and anything ) followed by yoga or meditation or even just a nice long nap with my phone in another room.
Taking tech breaks is so important and reading is wonderful. I’m currently reading ‘The Name of the Wind’ which is a gorgeous fantasy book about magic and stuff that you might really enjoy.
Take care lovely. I hope you keep having more good days than bad. Xx
I don't mean to hijack your comment but I was struggling to word my own that was covering all the same bases and by the time I finished writing I just felt a bit stupid about it, but reading yours, you totally nailed all the things I was thinking so... Hear, hear!
Everything that you said is exactly what i felt. UA-cam is not as easy as people think, and it sometimes really lonely.
It warms my heart when two of my favourite youtubers interact with each other. Been enchanted by your music for so many years, Karliene xx
Social media is just really really so hard on mental health and The Social Dilemma on netflix shows why. It's often when I've been on social media too much, and also foods and time of the month affect my mental health pretty noticeably too. It's so helpful that more people are talking about it.
The Name of the Wind is amazing 😍
Can’t believe someone said that thing about you having a ‘desirable’ job. Obv they don’t understand how stressful/ pressuring UA-cam can be as well as mental health. U go girl. Ly and can relate to mental health issues. Stay strong. Love u hen! Xx
Yeah like it doesnt matter if your job is literally cuddling sleepy golden retriever puppies, you can be too sick (mentally or physically) to do that job. You deserve "medical leave" even if you're self employed. 💖
@@horshaed Yeah you could have a job you absolutely LOVE to do and still get sick of doing it for a while. If you keep letting it fester you'll eventually come to hate what you're doing.. and everything just keeps going downhill.. Everyone deserves breaks no matter how "easy" their job is or how "desirable" it is.
I'm in a similar situation where I stay home and I basically take care of the house and raise my brother (I'm 28 he's 7..) - that's my "job", but I don't get 'paid'. I get a lot of people saying how I'm so lucky because I get to sleep when I want, play games when I want, etc.. no it's not that easy.. I have to keep the house clean, feed him, teach him, help with his schoolwork, and so on. I'll be up from like 9-10AM and not get to do anything I really want to until like 9PM.. People also think whenever my mom's off work she just takes over.. no she's tired and takes a nap or relaxes for a while. Even when she's around I still don't really stop being the "nanny". Even she tells me I need to get a job sometimes and I'm like "..When exactly should I pencil that in?" The main reason we're in this situation is because if I work, she has to work less.. if I work, I'll make *much* less than she does.. so if I had an "actual job" we wouldn't make enough. So I end up feeling stuck in life quite often and I also have terrible social anxiety.. Anyway, sorry for the rant.. lol
Bitter people who hate their lives
As someone bitter, petty and jealous about the way their life turned out... that comment was atrocious. I do think sometimes UA-camrs are ignorant of their privilidge, but taking a break due to anxiety isn't one of those times!!
I can be an absolute b!tch and that comment sounded so insensitive.
Also, can I just say 99% of the time her comments are so wholesome! Plumbella brings out the best in folks
@@Eventide215 I hope things get better, sounds like stuff is rly hard. If u can try to talk to ur mum about how you’ve been feeling, openness can lead to at least understanding even if it doesn’t get you a solution. Wishing you all the best xxx
I studied oversharing whilst at Uni! In a conversation where one person “over shares” and one person doesn’t (for example in a UA-cam video!) the person who shares will feel very vulnerable and question what they have shared. However the person you have shared to will feel closer to you. Seems straight forward but it’s always good to remember that when you share people feel they know you better and trust more. Always put your mental health first as much as economics can allow! (I’m also a slag for oversharing and questionable stability)
Thanks for this comment, as a person who tends to overshare and has social anxiety disorder I heavily worry about this, maybe this knowledge helps a bit :)
This is really helpful, thank you
Love from a fellow oversharing slag x
This makes feel so much better about my adhd fueled oversharing 🥺 and also why I vibe with fellow oversharers 😅
This is really helpful and interesting...thank you so much for sharing!
Lucie....thank you for this tidbit because I have a gigantic issue with feeling vulnerable after an overshare. I will overshare and NEVER speak to them again. This has happened since childhood.
I started crying when you talked about your dad sitting with you and how genuinely helpful your family has been. I'm really glad you have a supportive system. You are my absolute favorite simmer and one of my favorite youtubers. I completely understand the mental illness problems. I haven't been able to do much of anything lately (including play sims or any game) and therapy isn't helping much for me but I really hope you take care of yourself in any way you need to.
And Mumbella always being on-call for those tough panic attack moments. 💕
She has the best edits of the whole sims 4 community for real
Alei I hope therapy starts to help you. Hang in there. I am thinking of you and hoping for the best for you.
People who say she’s sayin that she’s ungrateful and leaving because she doesn’t care.... She edits the crap out of her videos and does this for your entertainment so if she needs a break she can take a break! Go watch lilsimsie or deligracy or something else there are more youtubers. Don’t get mad at her. she’s greatful and needs a break
Yeah that made me really mad actually... People who comment such things have probably never had contact with mental illness and doesn't have any idea what it could do to someone... And their job does not matter in anyway in that regard because if you are I'll you take time off jo matter what job
@@michelleblling803 exactly and people who go to regular jobs get scheduled holiday they can use and take off. UA-camrs dont have this luxury and often have extra pressure of having to upload constantly
I agree. BUT she does not "edit her videos for our entertainment", she does it to earn MONEY. This is her job, not volunteering.
Well she does do it for our entertainment because entertainment IS her job. And like most jobs she's entitled to holidays.
@@LL-wu5ui both ways kind of work, really... now youtube is a job but a few years ago it didn't give any money to the creators, it was just a fun thing to do. It does pay now but it's incredibly unstable. And regardless of if or how much she gets paid on the backend, youtube and her videos are completely free for anyone to watch without ever personally giving her a cent.
So, I get what you're saying and yeah it's her job so on one hand you could point out she edits for that reason, but on the other hand she is also spending hours and hours on something that doesn't guarantee her a paycheck and may simply end up being for our free entertainment.
Regardless, the people telling her she's got it easy so mental health and breaks shouldn't be a thing are highly ignorant. Mental health doesn't care what your job is or if you have one or what you're paid... plus I'd challenge every one of them to deal with the same level of constant opinions and nitpicking and insults and come out totally fine and unbothered. Not even taking into account essentially being a contractor for a living with no idea how long your job will exist or pay you a living wage ... and if you have to stop everyone has an opinion on it
That’s rude that people try to make her be grateful she was overwhelmed and going through things it happens
I always tell my students that quote “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life” isn’t 100% true. Even if you love your job, there are going to be things that stress you out. We don’t always have good days and unfortunately things happen that we have no control over. Sometimes we have to take a step back to pick up the pieces, and then you can get up and keep going.
Thank you for sharing! Taking mental breaks should be normalized.
Yas thank you! I feel like that quote is a big ass lie xD
The worst thing about Anixety is logically knowing your reactions to a situation seem to be out of proportion but in reality you're dealing with a lot your just don't realise at the time. Even people without Anixety are going through a lot at the moment with COVID but just know you're not alone and keep talking to your family/boyfriend about how you're feeling no matter how silly you think it is, just an ear to talk to will help so much. Keep doing what you're doing, love yourself, look after yourself 💕
"oversharing" - what you mean is discussing issues that some people can relate to but its generally taboo to talk about, so really, what you're doing is giving a platform for them? thats a POSITIVE. keep it UP. its smth i personally relate to(the worse i feel mentally the less i eat.sometimes itd get so bad i wouldnt eat for days and i just do NOT see it talked about enough!!! power to you!). take all the time you need
Agree! I had really similar issues and on most forums and resources I don't really see people discussing how mental illness can affect appetite.
Hey Jesse,
I would like to tell you, first, that we all think we can get on without medication and/or therapy, we see it as a weakness sometimes.
I had my first panick attack at 23? I'm nearing 40 and I finally decided 3 years ago to go fully into therapy and medication. I never thought I could be this calm and chill as I am now.
But that period in my life was strange, I was sometimes acting out, sometimes go on club binge, then panick attack and social anxiety. My friend group shed really fast because I was loosing my temper at them (the ones I have now have kept with me and I'm so fucking grateful)
I couldn't create anymore, nor read, which are two things I used to do all the time. This made me feel less than. Like I had lost the artistic value I used to have and that's it.
The first sign that therapy worked, I started a podcast like just a couple of months after and now a youtube haha. Can you imagine, almost 40 and lost all those years not creating.
I used to have bulimia at the same time, now I eat... ok maybe too much lol, I gained weight like never, but you know what? I'm fine with it., if my brain is fine, the rest doesn't matter
Also, like you said, we have to focus on having fun and creating within our interests.
Anyway sorry for my rambling hen, just wanted to let you know, you are not alone, we're a huge group of anxious and panicky people and we are right there with you :)
100% agree with the studio situation. I will have a video I’m proud of, the comments are lovely, those who have watched it, enjoyed it - then I’ll go into studio and it’ll rip it to shreds. I also have anxiety and this new feature really stresses me out :(
i just wanna say I love your content and you're the one who inspired me to get my gecko👉👈
Imagine being so hungry for content you treat your creators like machines instead of the humans they are. Screw those comments, girl.
Look, you're doing a good job. Take the break you need to take. I promise we'll be here to support you when you're ready to come back.
"You don't need time off." Is such a privileged statement. I'm mentally ill/diagnosed with social anxiety. I'm thankful for what I have, but mental illness doesn't give a care about what you have/your job. I hope you're doing okay rn. Sending love your way. Do whatever you need to keep yourself healthy.
It breaks my heart how UA-cam destroys the mental health of its creators.
ban yt, its dangerous
Dude, this sounds so familiar. I ended up leaving a job and moving home when I discovered that the not-being-able-to-breathe-feeling wasn't asthma, but anxiety. It's SO hard to spot your own anxiety. Don't beat yourself up over it. You're doing amazing. We love your videos, and your honesty, and your delightful attitude about everything. Your vids always make me smile. Thank you so much.
(Def try Dianna Wynne Jones if you like reading and Harry Potter. Her books make for really good comfort reads, and are also shamelessly English fantasies with magic and stuff.)
Kat C just came to say that I’m proud of you Kat for recognising that you weren’t happy too. Sometimes I don’t think we reward ourselves for realising anxiety. I hope you’re doing better now ❤️ xx
Yeah I get in and out of depression for 7 years without realizing I got into because of anxiety until I started having anxiety attacks. At least I knew how to recognize anxiety attacks. When it starts young you think it is normal to be like that but it isn't. Even as a medical student it is difficult to recognise.I can't imagine how difficult for other people.
When I went to see my therapist for anxiety, she said something that I always try to repeat to myself when I feel bad, which is "thoughts are not facts". Whatever negative thing you're thinking about yourself, it's not a fact, it's just a thought. It feels differently, but in the end, what you say to yourself is not necessarily a fact.
If that teaching resonates with you a lot, you might like to read into Buddhism :) The Buddha taught that we are not our thoughts, we are the observer of our thoughts. Thich Nhat Hanh is a great Zen master as well as author and poet. ❤️
Oof that “thoughts are not facts” kinda hit again. Anxiety, depression, and trauma are a very hard reality to grasp. It’s been a year and I still don’t know which part of my mind is actually mine
@@ahtikahalim9033 oof I felt this
Gonna be honest, after I was hospitalized for dissociation and depression due to anxiety, all I had to do was put on one of your or RT's videos and I would immediately begin to feel a bit more human. You guys genuinely bring so much joy to our lives without even trying, your good hearts just radiate through your videos.
I can't begin to explain how messed up UA-cam Studio rank thing is for my mental health. It really hurts when a video is 10/10 and it breaks your heart and you question everything. Girl I feel you on that
@@lilacpenguin5329 I think they meant when a video is 10/10 and they put a lot of effort on it just for it to not do well or not meet their expectations. All that hard work for nothing
Well, shizzzz... I typically watch videos within a few days, not a few hours, and that's mainly cause I want to spend the proper time watching a video I want to watch... and as a UA-cam consumer, I'm sorry my watching habits have been causing people stress and anxiety
@@lilacpenguin5329 For some reason they decided that 10 is the worst, 1 the best rating you can get in UA-cam Studio.
*This comment is for Jessi to read when her brain is lying to her:*
Jessi, I know your brain will tell you different, but you are one of the few youtubers that makes me cackle, and I always love your videos. You've never made me feel upset about anything and I've never been angry or felt animosity when you *didn't* upload. I just get excited when you do :) Please take care of yourself and know that you've got big supportive fans. And a lot of us have been in similar boats. I'm also really sorry for your loss. There is no wrong or right way to grieve. You just do. I've been through that kind of traumatic loss. It's ok to feel fucked up from it.
PS. UA-cam Studio is a lying bitch. Don't listen to her, lol. Listen to us 💙
Honestly she's the only person that has me in tears, her newest video had me pausing it just to compose myself. We love you, Jessie 💕
Yes out of all the youtubers I watch, my fiance knows plumbella by name. In facebook groups everyone always mentions her more than anyone else. Shes so so so ICONIC. She doesnt even know it 😔.
Out of all the UA-camrs I watch, Jessie is the one I love to watch. I'm an Autistic adult who loves the sims and faces a lot of mental health issues. Her videos always make me smile and I get teary when I hear she isn't doing well because I want her happy. Jessie, if you're reading this we love you for your personality and the content you create. I look forward to watching the new styles of content and hope you feel much better soon 💚💚💚
I can only 2nd this post. Girl! You can do no wrong! I adore when you upload but that doesn't mean I will be upset if you don't. Glad to simply have you as a fellow human in my lifetime and be able to enjoy your take on games; one of the few simple joys left in life. :)
I don't think you're oversharing because you're not romanticizing your mental health struggles. Lots of love Jesse, you're hella strong and you have tons of support
I can’t believe people said such mean things to you when you needed to take a break. Don’t worry, I’ll fight them for ya!
“It’s literally just about a chemical imbalance” YEEEESSS.
Aww “meeting the love of my life for the first time” 🥺🥺
Thank you for mentioning that depression and anxiety are chemical imbalances in the brain! Often people forget that it is literally a inside problem (that can be triggered by outside factors) that's why mental health problems can effect a variety of people despite their privileges, economic status, life style, and comfort. Thank you so much for mentioning this I really appreciate it💗
I LIVE for these youtubers that are quite real about their menstrual cycles and their anxiety and depression because it makes me feel like I'm not alone, hope you feel better soon Jesse ❤
This is SO SO good to hear because every time I put out a period talk video or MH vlog I get so nervous of the backlash. So thank you for sharing positive feedback on those of us who put ourselves out there to help others. You’re amazing 💕💕💕💕xax
Seriously, as a Psychologist Im very happy you recognized your warning signs, that you were needing some mental health help, time off and a good support system. Love your quirky content, be you girly!
"you deserve time off from your own head" ok I needed to hear that today
thank you for talking about this, i didn't realize how much i self-sabotage or gaslight myself, especially with my mental health. please feel free to take as much time off as you need whenever you need to, i'd rather see you at your best with content you are proud of
Thank you for "oversharing" when you open up about your mental health, you're helping end the stigma! Thats an amazing thing to use your platform for. Also, I'd still be here waiting patiently for your vids even if you only uploaded once every two months. I hope you dont feel pressure from your subsceibers to push out content if you're not ready to; you owe us NOTHING. your content is a GIFT to us and we should be THANKFUL!!
I truly think you’re one of the most genuine youtubers out there. Thank you for making quarantine bearable 💛
This gal is a treasure. She's inspiring me to take stock in my own wellness.
As someone currently going through it, I really appreciate you being open about everything you're going through. Please continue as you desire .
I may have said this before here but I have a physical disability, something I’ve had since birth, and I also live with anxiety, depression and agoraphobia. My mental issues cause me more difficulty than my physical disability ever could. If you don’t understand, that’s fine....just don’t judge. And something that I’ve struggled with is knowing how important it is to speak up about my issues. We have to talk about these things because no one should be left alone to deal with this on their own. I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to experience what I’ve gone through.
I'm exactly like you 💙 Recently I started sharing a bit more about my poor physical health and how it has deteriorated my mental health. It actually brought some hope and feeling back to my brain, I think.
Jesse, when I snapped I stopped eating and sleeping for 2 weeks. That was 2 years ago and I am still putting myself back together. It really is an ongoing thing. I love your honesty and your openess
Thank you for talking about it.
I remember when I had panic attacks, can’t eat shit, not even able to talk, and so much more. mental health is hard to understand for people who don’t struggle with it.
I still struggle some days to see the light and be happy, loving my self, and much more.
I still have days that i just wanna cry all day.
And talking about it helps so much.
Thx for talking about it. Lov ya.
I've watched a lot of your videos but seldom commented...just wanted to chime in to say I'm proud of you for taking steps to take care of yourself and wish you nothing but the best!
I just want to take a moment to compliment you on that hair bow because it is just TOO cute! Mental health is something people need to start taking seriously. I think that people just need to realize that it is a real thing. I adore your willingness to be open about your struggles despite those negative individuals.
It's very clear that you are appreciative of your job and your viewers. Anyone who has watched even 1 of your videos knows this. Mental health problems aren't particular to a certain type of person. No matter what line of work you're in, it is important to take care of your physical and mental well-being above all else. It's a shame that anyone would leave a comment like that when you say you need to take time off. Your audience today seems mostly understanding and supports any choices you make that prioritize your mental health. Take care of yourself, plummy x
"You deserve time off from your own head" oh my gosh.. such truth. I get very stressed thinking about going to sleep because I'm gonna be alone with my thoughts and have panic attacks before I tire myself out enough to fall asleep.
Big hugs to you sis.
I know you are probably not looking for advice, but for anyone who is reading this and they want some more wholesomeness/respectfulness in their insta feed, my friend Leah Sian Davies posts stuff that really helps me and might help others too. (Srry I really don't mean to sound like an advert)
Sending love ❤
You know, I don’t really have serious problems, but there are times when my head just won’t stop thinking about something, so to stop it I usually just listen to music and use the mood I get in and start imagining a world of my own with my own story or I imagine myself with a famous person that I like and just become friends with or Idk, a fictional world like harry potter, so when I go to sleep , my head is more focused in that world I entered with music that with all my problems that keep wanting to occupy my head and give me more anxiety
@@elternera6212 it's so good and helpful to know what you can do to self soothe :) for me it's usually reading, I guess it is similar! It's also losing yourself in a different world. And looking up statistics about what I'm stressing about also calms me down 😅
I can completely relate to this!! UA-cam analytics gives me the worst anxiety. Every time a video doesn't end up in the 1-5 range on UA-cam studio I get so discouraged. I always put so much thought and effort into each video and seeing that one isn't performing that well can be so disappointing. When all the kids went back to school I had a huge decrease in engagement and performance and I started comparing my old videos to my new videos and thinking I was better back then. It's a vicious circle. Even when your videos do really well it's this high of feeling so accomplished and then you fall even lower when a video doesn't perform as well.. It's very frustrating. :(
Really proud and impressed with your strength to post this video; its not something everyone could do! Mental health needs this kind of exposure as all of us have experienced.
Thank you! ♥️
Glorious pink hair, absolutely adorable orange top, comfy PJ pants and slippers?!! DREAM GOALS. Also, editing you with the added robe is SUCH A MOOD I'm here for it and you
Take care, Jesse❣
And don't worry about your streaming times!
I was even watching your streams around 2-4am Japan time.
With that schedule adjustment, it'll actually be easier for me to catch you live 😘👌
I BROKE DOWN at school today. A lot, and I slipped something that I've had trauma with for a few years. But it really helped me, and it's comforting to now watch this video and relate so much. I love you!!
i barely even play the sims anymore, but jesse really is one of those youtubers who is entertaining no matter what she does. if she suddenly switched her content to something else entirely, i would absolutely keep watching her. it makes me so happy to have found a content creator like her who i can relate to on such a deep level
Thank -you for this Jesse. I just got out of the hospital two days ago...actually when I wasn't rolling around in hospital in severe pain...I watched you on my phone...you helped me survive. I am so glad you are honest. Thank-you. Stuff the bloody ranking system...what bastards. You are not a number. I love your channel so much, as you are extremely honest and refreshing. Don't change. I mean keep seeing your therapist and taking your medication...I mean don't change who you are, just to keep others happy....as I have learnt you can not please everyone, that just makes you ill and very unhappy. So many of us struggle with mental health issues, but only the brave open up and talk about them. I know from experience. My son and I both have mental health issues. We both see a wonderful Therapist and take the correct medication. Which can take some time. During my time in hospital recently my son stopped eating, sleeping and totally shut down. He was having severe panic attacks and anxiety. I had to beg the Doctors to rush through all my test results, X-rays, CT scans, blood tests etc, so I could get an earlier, faster discharge from hospital, to get home to my son, and save him. My Mother, his Grandmother, was supposed to be taking care of him, but she is very different from me. She is quite dismissive and chooses to ignore rather than help. She does not like to admit that mental health problems exist. I have never had the comfort and support of a loving family. But I have created a supportive loving one for my son, as I know it is necessary to survive. I am so happy you have the love and support of your family, it is necessary in order to heal. I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved friend. You have been through so much. Be proud of yourself. Don't listen to the negative naysayers and the nasty cows who judge you and tell you, that you are lucky to have this job...blah, blah, blah...stuff them. No one has the right to judge another. They have not lived your life, nor walked in your shoes, Severe anxiety and panic attacks are crippling and very scary. Therapist are wonderful people if you find the right one. They can even help to kind of 'rewire' your brain and challenge negative, destructive thoughts. The correct medication can help with chemical imbalances in your brain. Having support is so necessary, also. Like you said today. We all need a holiday from our mind and our thoughts. Your Therapist was bang on right there. That is why even the smallest positive change, what you are now doing, like going for a walk, drawing, reading, meditation can do wonders. Just one small change helps. Thank you again for sharing Jesse. You helped me personally deal with a massive panic attack I was having tonight...I was worried I was going to end up in the hospital again...and have to leave my son alone with my distant mother, but listening to you calmed me down, and made me feel less alone in the world, and remember to take one day at a time. I wish you all the best lovely Jesse. Keep taking care of yourself. Be kind and patient to yourself. You are on the right track now, it takes time, but you took the first step and asked for help and now you are getting help. Sending you loads of healing love from Australia. You are wonderful and you are loved and you deserve all that is good in this World. Thank you for being brave. By the way, I really loved your drawing...I have been saving up for a new I Pad so I can use Procreate. Drawing keeps me happy and gives me a break...from overwhelming thoughts. Take Care Lovely One xoxo
I don't typically comment on videos but I want to let you know you're such a great youtuber and I think me and plenty of others could care less about what you upload because we are here to watch you. You're a wonderful human and I want nothing more than for your mental health to improve!!!
I would just like to say, I had a bit of a breakdown around the end of last year and took a month off work because of it and I am in a standard 9-5 office job, it doesn't make a difference what job you have whether it's on social media or in an office or whatever, if you need the time off for your mental health then you need time off for your mental health and that's that!
Also, just because you watch someone on yt or twitch doesn't mean you know them or their lives behind the camera so maybe don't make assumptions about people you don't know and take care of you and your own instead
* insert here Eliza’s voice * Take a break!
Seriously tho, I’m glad that you’re an ‘oversharer’. As someone who deals with anxiety and panic attacks, it’s good to see that I’m not alone in this.
Please take time for yourself and care for your mental health! To get better is a process, and as every other processes in life it can be fast or slow. It’s not always up to us to control, specially when it’s a chemical thing. What we can do to help it is to take a time for ourselves, take good care of our physical health and try to not feel guilty about those thoughts (that are uncontrollable)
anyways, we’re here for you. hope you can get better soon and find a place of balance in relation to your content and time :)
... run away with us for the summer?
I'm so proud of you Jesse :-* Do what makes you happy and be yourself because ultimately we can see that too!! All we want is for you to be happy
I’m usually all about love, but screw anyone who thinks that people “shouldn’t” have mental health issues because of their job, economic status or literally anything else.
i never comment but i just want to say thank you. thank you for being real and sharing your story with all of us. it's just so incredibly brave to be so honest in front of so many people. as someone who has really struggled with mental health and is surrounded by people who invalidate all of my experiences, it makes such a world of difference to see someone be real and honest with their own experiences. it makes a lot of us feel a lot less alone, probably more than you realize. seeing one of my favorite youtubers share something so personal is so helpful. thank you so much for everything you do, i hope that things start to get better for you soon from the bottom of my heart.
As a fellow autistic person with social anxiety issues, this pandemic is very much a mixed bag. I don't mind my classes and some social stuff now being online, where I can relax and be comfortable in my own home, but I do mind because it has completely disrupted many other areas of my daily and weekly routine that I had long become accustomed to. I can adapt unlike others, but I don't prefer to, if I'm given my own way. Best wishes to you, Plum, you're amazing at what you do, and we appreciate you for who you are, flaws and all!
"It's just easier to have a dryer in my kitchen than to make a phone call" A WHOLE ASS MOOD
Also, definitely not over sharing. But even if you were, I feel like it's so important to be able to have these super relatable conversations about mental health and the effects of anxiety and all. So many of us suffer from it and while everyone's experience is unique, it's good to know we aren't the only ones going through this. It's a strange sort of fraternity/sorority we're all in.
Sending you love, hen 💜💜💜
I don’t really do youtube much but I love watching you! Your so real and I love you for it.
Im 31 now and had my first panic attack when I was 30. It lasted 2 weeks non stop. it was such a dark time, I thought my throat was closing and I wasn’t getting enough air. I lived in flight mode for all that time and it was exhausting.
I didn’t understand or comprehend anxiety till I experienced it myself.
I have had flare ups since and couldn’t cope so I went to the doctor which Im so glad I did. I would go again if I needed.
I wish it could be turned off, there is no trigger and sometimes I don’t even think Im worried it just comes on.
You are amazing! Keep being you and be kind to yourself. You can’t pour from a empty cup so make sure you keep your cup full first.
Wishing you light and happy ❤️
Thank you so much for talking about this ❤️ Mental health is so important to be open about (obviously when the person talking about it is comfortable). I think a lot of us have been there.
Remember everyone to take care of yourself. Take your meds if you have them, talk to a doctor if you think you need them. There's no shame in having mental health issues, getting therapy or getting medications.
Also about the loss of your friend - that is devastating. He absolutely was family. I have a similar setup where my mom is great friends with my nanny - they grew up in the same small town. My nanny is my second mother, her two sons are my brothers. Losing one of them would absolutely destroy me.
I wish I could hug you! I literally just was talking about my breakdown to my mom (I have been going through this all with you right now no joke!) But I told my mom "I mean I'm normal im.just chemically unbalanced!". Just know this girl over here is struggling too and you have been helping me get through and survive it all! Your not alone
I love you just talking about deeper stuff, because we are all people and being down is a human thing and it's ok. I think you are so smart and funny and beautiful person, and everybody needs a break or change sometimes. Give yourself some "me-time" 💚💚 But i love listening your mind.
Ohh luv. Take ur time. Everyone deserves a break and we understand completely. I’m struggling with something similar because of quarantine and coming back into the world. Luv you ❤️
I absolutely love watching your videos and I love how honest and open you are about your mental health, I wish more people were like you! I wanted to drop this comment as, I could relate to you so much throughout this video. The symptoms you have experienced are so close to mine and I’ve been diagnosed with PMDD. When you mentioned you suffered with PMS but you also had all these side symptoms, I instantly thought it could be PMDD. PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysmorphic Disorder) is a more serious form of PMS as usually occurs a few weeks before your period (in the Luteal phase) but, can occur at random times throughout the month/year. Basically, it’s not caused by a hormone imbalance, rather, it’s the way your body reacts to normal hormone changes, basically your body is sensitive to itself! It’s not very well known and it’s hard to get diagnosed but, it’s worth speaking to your doctor about it. I suffered with it for 12 years, I thought I was broken, then someone told me about it, I tracked my symptoms for 3+ months then went to see my doctor and got given the diagnosis. I’m still figuring out how to live with it but just having a set diagnosis has helped me so much! I really wish you all the best and thank you so much for your videos, they cheer me up when I’m struggling with my own mental health 💕
You are just such an amazing person. Love you for this video and the over sharing.
Hun we would rather have you do what you need and come back when you want to or feel up to it; than not have you at all. Take care of yourself, you are loved and cherished and you deserve to put yourself first 💚
I started watching at the beginning of quarantine and you quickly became my favorite person on here. I loved the history of series and your editing style (I'm an editor, so I really love how much you play.) Hearing you talk about your health and myself dealing with my own mental health and new diagnoses in the past few months has made your channel feel like a safe space. I've had to talk to my boss about spending less time working because my mental health was hurting, and it was so hard. Taking a break is really brave and not something to be ashamed of. Take care of yourself, youtube studio can't tell you how much you mean to us. 💖
Sending so much love from West Yorkshire! I know this lockdowns been hard on a lot of people’s mental health but PLEASE take care of yourself first❤️
West Yorkshire gang!
West Yorkshire here too
West Yorkshire is Best Yorkshire!
Can I be friends with the people in this thread lmao
i think i speak for lots of people when i say how nice it is to hear honest, unfiltered discussion about mental health and just how ugly it can be. it isn't neatly packaged with a pretty little bow on top. it is so often crippling, and horrendous to be the one dealing with it. as someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, and a couple other things, this video felt like a breath of fresh air. i haven't been following you for very long because i am not personally someone who plays the sims, but i love your content because you are so open and honest about your struggles. as much as it may come off to you as over sharing, i think doing that can be immensely important. not everything can be filtered and pretty, sometimes the things that have to be said need to be raw. i greatly appreciate that.
i'm glad to hear that you've taken the time you need, because /you/ are more important than anything else. i'm terribly sorry for your loss, and i hope that your family also has the time they need to grieve and mourn. we all love you very much, and for every shitty insensitive comment you get about your situation, there are 10s, if not 100s more that are in support of your decisions. thank you for being so open, as much as it may hurt. thank you for speaking out about your mental health. we're glad that you're back
I just want to take the time to tell you how much seeing your videos means to me . You are such a wonderful person with a great charismatic personality. I love how open you are about mental health and I feel like a lot more people need to be more open about it in order to make others feel a little bit more normal because it is normal. Wish you all the strength on your journey to bettermental health. Xoxo
So glad we live in a time where we feel we can speak openly about these topics. Even ten-twelve years ago, mental health was not really talked about, and most people (like myself) would suffer in silence. Hoping you continue to be on the mend ♥️
I've been in therapy since April and just two days ago and two days ago I thought for the first time that I was really getting somewhere. Before that it was always kinda "meh", some days I really didn't want to go to therapy. And then two days ago I actually understood something BIG about myself, after half a fecking year in therapy.
As someone else in the comments has mentioned, mental health progress isn't linear. Please take all the time you need and never feel pressured to upload. The people who are truly your community will never pressure you to upload anything (also my anxiety doesn't even let me watch new content most of the time, so I just re-watch (mostly your) videos the entire time lol). It must be incredibly hard to share your mental health shit with people on the internet, and I just want to let you know I am so thankful for people like you because it shows me I am not alone with the shit that's going on in my brain 🙃❤
i love you to pieces. i know it's so hard and so exhausting sometimes, and having an unhealthy brain can be very overwhelming, but i promise you're doing amazing. you take your time and keep your healthy thoughts safe and we'll all be here no matter what. sending you a big hug lovely
I'm so glad you're doing better and proud of you for speaking about this 💕 you are also so right about the youtube ranking system by the way.. that thing stressing me the hell out!
I'm so friggin thankful for these videos. I would NEVER in a million years wish my depression or BPD or generalized anxiety on ANYONE, but it still feels so comforting hearing people being genuine about their mental health and just how they're doing doing overall. "Things got bad and then they got better AND THEN THEY GOT A LOT WORSE," that phrase right there is basically my reaction in retrospect to when I was first diagnosed with depression 6 years ago. Now I'm a first-year college student and things have not been this bad... technically ever, in terms of my mental illness. It's so hard to hold onto hope especially nowadays, and honestly I was going through a bit of a rough bit today, but seeing you talk in this video being open and talking about the ups and downs over quarantine and even the past year, as fucked up as this sounds I feel a little better. I'm wishing you much happiness going forward and I think we can both beat our own demons.
right off the bat the expecto patronus bottoms are stunning, they make the outfit
also hope you're okay 💕
omg you and Dan uploaded at about the exact same time, power couple 😍
I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to share this with us, as someone with my own mental health struggles, it's refreshing to see people discussing mental health without the shame or the stigma. I'm glad you're getting back into what you enjoy, of course we want the best for you, for you to upload at your own pace, to do what makes you happy. Sending love to you and RumbleTumbleGame, you are hands down one of the best creators on this site, keep doing what you do 💖💖💖
Never feel pressured to upload. remember to prioritise your mental health. i think that all of us want to see you happy. we all love you hen
I absolutely love the fact that you are open to your viewers and "over share." Its very nice and relaxing to see people just openly talk about their period and mental health since I go through those things as well.
I'm so proud of you. For putting yourself and your mental health first, for speaking up about the issues, and for making the changes that you need. Take care of yourself, you deserve it!
This made my day better already.
It doesn’t matter what job you have or how much money you make, mental health impacts us all and should be prioritised, it’s just as important as physical health!
You do what you need to help yourself Jesse and don’t feel obligated to do anything to please others, especially when it’s detrimental to you 💗✨
I’m so glad that you’re uploading again at your own pace! We love you so so much and please keep taking care of yourself ♥️✨
I laughed and then started to cry at your mini moment at 15:12 because honestly, I feel like that so often (not about youtube but just in general), and it was really nice to hear someone else say you know what this is just at the expense of my mental health and I'm done with that. thank you, love.
Literally, I resonate with this entire video, but when you said "I get a headache when my ears get cold" I felt that.
Seriously, you're amazing for talking about this and being open with your mental health. It lets people know that it is okay to struggle sometimes, and that everybody does. Also gets the message across that talking does help. I suffer from OCD, bipolar depression, anxiety, and I am a hypochondriac. Breaks from work is SO IMPORTANT no matter what job you have. So keep doing what you need to do, the right people will understand and stick around :D
All the support from me! Love you and your content.
That bow is everything!!! Also, you’re a beautiful soul, and I’ll watch anything you put out. ❤️
Yes, get it plumbob Ross!!!! Your first climb from rock bottom is the hardest and it doesn’t mean you won’t hit it again but you’ll know how to get out quicker and safer! A wee quote from my therapist last year 🥰 keep being you J we all loves the content! Xx
You're such a gem of a human. ❤️ Also. I'm loving the style, omg imma drop a few inktober days just so I can draw some fanart.
i struggle with my mental health too and i think it's so important to see a popular youtuber talk so openly about this subject. thank you for making lots of people feel seen and less alone, i wish you the best ❤
I appreciate your bravery to openly share your mental health journey 💕💕💕 As someone who has suffered the majority of my life with mental illness, I LOVE when people share their stories because it truly shows the strength it takes to get through daily life. My anxiety focuses on the things I love most. Sending so much love and I am constantly inspired and impressed with the strength of those of us with mental illness. Trust me when I say you have no idea how incredible you all are to continue pushing forward each day 🥰🥰🥰🥰
thank you for being so open and honest with all of us 💖 I am so glad you're taking steps to help you feel better, always remember that your community are here to support (as much as we can)! you're amazing 💛
I think this is really beautiful and so brave of you to be so open and raw about your situation. Anxiety and depression is so constricting and I believe a lot of people go through it without realizing for a long time. UA-camr or not you are still human with human feelings. I wish the absolute best for you and your recovery.
"We're just both a bit doolally twat."
Relationship goals.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m currently in the middle of this anxiety cycle - specifically the point where I feel like I’ve lost the ability to do my job - I thought there was something wrong with me and I’ve been petrified all week. After hearing you explain what you’re going through, I don’t feel as scared anymore. Solidarity my friend. Thanks again for sharing
Watching this whist going through a hard time with my own mental health, trying to get through it but hearing Jesse being so open and real about mental health makes me feel less alone, she speaks so much sense 🥺
Thank you plumbella I've really been struggling with my mental health too I tried to overdose recently and it's good to know that I'm not alone and all people can go through this. Thank you ❤
I don't know you but I am happy you're here to tell the world that you know you are seen 💓 WE (yes me too!) Can get through this 💪🏾
If you ever need to talk to someone, you can always reply to this and we can chat privately. Sending you strength ❤
I've been there. I promise one day life will be joyful again.
