  • Sorry I dipped out. But hey, you know what they say..."The world is gonna roll me, and I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed."
    But for real, I appreciate your patience and everyone who has checked in. It doesn't go unnoticed :) Also, let me know down below if you would watch "re-wind" footage, because there is plenty to go around!

    I was 7 months trying to tweak my meds once...worst time of my life. Cried so much my eyes were absolutely raw. Only slept 2 hrs a night for months. As soon as we got the right med, it was immediately apparent. Even so, it really is a lifelong battle. Your meds don't make your feelings. They just make it easier to process them. This IS a lifelong journey, and your self awareness WILL get you through this.
    As far as vlogging, we are happy to see and hear from you at any time. And girl, you gotta pay the bills. Do what you need to do to take care of you first. We love you and can't wait to see whatever you post next. Stay wonderful. We love you

    Going through similar things, I can tell you that once you and your support team figure things, it gets easier. Hang in there, be good to yourself, laugh when needed, cry when warranted, remember to eat and drink your water! We're so glad you're here, and we'll be here for you. ❤ I haven't posted for months, and I don't have the reach you do... take your time, and please be well!

    As someone who goes back years after the fact and watches peoples older videos even though they aren’t up to date, your idea is right up my alley! You’ll definitely have at least 1 view Em! Get well soon! 💗

  • @alyssa2663
    @alyssa2663 10 місяців тому +5

    Emily, your struggles are completely valid. The hardest part (in my experience also struggling with anxiety and depression) is the frustration of knowing that most people will not understand how detrimental mental illnesses are to our livelihood. Acceptance therapy has actually helped me a lot because it has helped me feel less sorry for myself because I would psycoanalyze everything my brain does and feel so much pity that I have to “live like this” This sh*t affects every aspect our lives, and it sucks that the world is not built to accommodate. Please do not feel guilty or lazy for not keeping up with your promises because your brain is actively fighting against itself which you cannot control. I know there isn’t much anyone can say, but you have helped so many people talking about your experiences, and you have made me feel less alone during the lowest points in my life. P.S. you should look into learning to crochet! A lot of therapists recommend it to keep your mind busy and distract from never ending thoughts. It also helps you feel like you’re being productive and it keeps your hands busy! Last year when I was going through severe depression, I would crochet all day every day and it helped keep my mind at ease and forced me to at least be doing something. Love you and I wish you the best!

  • @tash_alice1371
    @tash_alice1371 10 місяців тому +10

    Dearest Em! It's hard not to criticise yourself, trust me, I know! We need to remind ourselves that whatever we're feeling is valid. Personally for me, what works is I keep telling myself "this will pass" thanks to my therapist for that! 😅 day by day it gets a little easier, whereas some days it feels like nothing is going right. We all love and support you through this time. I can't speak for everyone, but I will say that I will continue to watch your videos whilst you grow as an amazing, inspirational woman. ❤️ wish you the best you beautiful soul!!

    I met you through Rachels channel, who I met through Collens channel. I've been watching your crew for so long and you know what... It is SO refreshing seeing people be real and normal on here. Not overdoing it, not not being themselves. (Although I must admit I am a fan of "Miranda sings" LOL) I love all of your content so much and would enjoy watching your older content. Take care of yourself and I hope you get the sleep you desperately need. My husband suffers from insomnia really bad as well so I understand the struggle. Thank you for being you and staying honest. We will wait for you because we love you. Those who dont, dont deserve to be a part of your channel TBH! Take care of yourself lovely!

    @lindseywildebrandt1111 10 місяців тому +1

    I have insomnia as well. My mind races when I try to sleep. Something that helps me is I basically write a story or movie in my head. That way I focus on one thing. It may seem odd but it helps me a lot. I can’t watch a movie because I focus on that too much but for some reason making up my own in my head quiets all the other thoughts but doesn’t keep me up from focusing too hard.
    I hope find your balance! Youve got this girl!
    Also yes all the footage pleaseeeeeee!

    You’re getting through and that is so impressive! I have been in your shoes and scrambling for answers it’s so overwhelming and even scary. For me, exploring my neurodivergence and getting a team of providers that understood how it affects ALL aspects of my life changed everything for me. I’m on the fewest meds I’ve ever been on (fewest just because I’ve been fortunate to find the right ones) and changed entirely how I went through my day to day life. Learning what my mental capacity actually is and accepting that I can’t do what some of my other friends can on a day to day basis has improved my mental and physical health more than I can explain

  • @sweettart462
    @sweettart462 10 місяців тому +1

    I related so much to what you said about just being so frustrated with the way your brain works because I’ve been there so many times with anxiety - I’m so sorry you are going through this tough time but thank you for sharing and validating what so many people also struggle with. Hoping you are towards better times and wishing you nothing but the best!! And I would absolutely watch vlogs that are not up to date, your vlogs are so fun to watch I don’t care when they are from! But don’t put too much pressure on posting them if you are not mentally up to it, if you can, I’ll definitely watch, but there is no pressure to. Do whatever is best for you and your health ❤️

    I was struggling for years, debilitating anxiety and dark depression. I switched from an SSRI to an SNRI and went up to 150mg and the peace of not having anxiety is something that I never thought I’d get to! Just remember, It will pass soon as hard as it is when you just want feel normal. Valium also helps!!

    I usually don't comment on videos but had to make an exception for this one. Emily know that you are so strong for dealing with what you are when it comes to your mental health and so brave for sharing with us, your community (as I tend to mask around 95% of those who I encounter at work and family). I aspire to be more like you as I personally think you are one of the coolest people and an amazing person!
    I also want to thank you for so clearly putting into words what I have struggled to articulate to myself or to my support system since my mental health (anxiety and depression too) has also gotten worse.
    Sending you strength, healing, and positive vibes and energy ❤❤
    PS. Anything you opted to put out content-wise, I would definitely watch as I am always excited when I get to have a glimpse into your world.

It’s the one that is making you. I promise. It feels like it’s too much. And never going to get better and I swear. It will. You are making the right decisions. Every single one. You’re growing and mature and brilliant. I’m so proud of every second of this journey you have made. I’ve been here through a lot of it. Like 2 years I think. You got this kid. It’s a lot.

I have suffered depression, anxiety, and debilitating panic attacks for 30 years. I feel ya sister. It is indeed negatively affected by being too hard on self (non-accepting), loss of sleep, and poor self care. Also, the right meds and dose are critical. We are here for you and you’re doing all the right stuff, love.

    Hi Emily, I really hope the sleep meds are working. I fully agree that sleep is the most important thing and once you have that figured out it will help make everything else at least a little better. We all care about you and your well being. I know we can't control or understand the way our brains work (I'm struggling so much my second to last semester of my master's program for no reason and its infuriating) but it doesn't speak anything about our worth as people. We love you and support you and if sharing past vlog experiences with us will help in any way, you know we will watch them :) and we'll consider ourselves extremely grateful! We hope you start feeling better soon ❤

    It’s nice to see you Emily! Two things, 1. Yes I would totally watch your older vlog footage, I thoroughly enjoy watching you and your content, and 2. This is super weird but whenever I can’t sleep and I try literally everything, and I mean I have had a week long episodes like you were describing, the ONLY thing that works is laying in bed upside down. Meaning put your head where your feet normally go. I know it sounds so dumb, but seriously idk why but it works. And I totally forget about it every time I can’t sleep until it’s been days. Once I remember and do it I knock right out. It makes no sense at all but try it! Ok love you bye ✌️

    I had a breakdown recently and rage quit my job....took 6 weeks to just look after myself/sleep (also because having to look after my Mum)....finally got up this morning and thought abut a few things for interviews etc!. It exhausted me just doing that 1/2 hour, but i'm living in the "do one thing today" mentality.....
    Seeing you post this is so brave, and you did so well to open yourself up even more to us.

    Also I love how vulnerable you are because it’s so relatable and something people don’t talk about often enough. I’ve wanted to be a mom my entire life and my life felt so empty without a child. I always said “when I’m a mom I’m going to have my life together because I’ll do anything to make sure my kid has a mentally stable mom with a stable life” well I got pregnant, had a baby, hormones took the best of me. I was MORE critical of myself because I’m like “you have a baby who relies on you, this is all you’ve ever wanted, why aren’t you stable you’re a piece of shit mom” then I got on MUCH needed medication and expected that to fix my whole life and I just didn’t. I’ve adapted the phrase “you can put a bandaid on a bullet hole but eventually you’ll need stitches” stitches being therapy and hardcore internal work. Sorry for the long story long. Love you
