an affirmation that my therapist once told me that has really helped when I'm feeling the intense physical aspects of anxiety is "it's uncomfortable, but it's not dangerous" or when you are feeling sensations such as an increased heart rate, simply stopping and thanking your heart/ breathe for keeping you alive.
It pains me that someone so angelic and gentle like Hitomi suffers so greatly. Depression can truly affect anybody but I’m glad she’s here to share her experiences. Hopefully everyone here is healing and living their best ✨✨
Her talking about something so personal and deep is just amazing. It makes me feel relaxed that life threathing thoughts can happen to anyone and it should be normal to get help.
i don’t know how else to phrase this but you quite literally saved my life back in february 2017. finding your videos is, in my eyes, my favorite serendipity to date. thank you, again and again and again💌
i can’t watch this rn cause i really am struggling w my own suicide issues rn but i hope one day when i want to live & when i am healed from my trauma & such- i can come back to this video & comment what i have learned as well.
Completely understand this... watch some of her light hearted videos like a “what I eat in a day” or just a simple vlog, because as I am sure you know Hitomi has profound ways of making you okay even if it’s just for the duration of the video... it helps me zone out while not spiraling further and usually in the end has a huge impact
When she said all those nice things at the end I just felt tears coming into my eyes. I really need someone that supportive in my life. It's deeply sad navigating so much on your own.
Hi! Just a lil tip, make your affirmations on present tense no matter what's going on. Start by making those seconds u use to say that to resonate, embody and be whatever ur soul knows and needs. With time it will be easier to get to that vibration and easier to access to that part of yourself
Not an affirmation- just a question i ask myself every morning that shaped a new way of thinking “Hey spirit, what do you need from me today?” It could be as simply as smiling @ someone 📿🎋
I started watching you when I was going through suicidal moments and you helped my journey so much. and now Im at the end of my first pregnancy about to give birth. Life is crazy.
Picking that one little pattern to upgrade during the darkest of moments - like trading in a binge of Gossip Girls for a soul-nourishing documentary - is such a beautiful (and accessible) way to infuse love where there was once a void. Thank you, Hitomi, for sharing your hard-earned wisdom.
An affirmation that has helped me in my dark times is “my feelings are valid but temporary” also treating myself as a friend in those situations instead of berating myself makes a big difference
I still sometimes feel anxious during my morning Yoga/Meditation. I will say to myself: “I am safe. There is no where else I need to be.” This helps ground me in the present. I often feel a pull away from my morning practice because I want to just start my day but I need to remind myself that nothing is as urgent as my own self care.
i have been feeling so drained these past couple of days, and i was just sitting in my room thinking: “i could really use a breather rn, i wonder if hitomi has uploaded anything new” and voilá, a video that was only put out 7 minutes ago. tysm, i’m just gonna go get myself some hot chocolate to make this perfect haha
I've been struggling with those thoughts again all month. Especially today has been so bad. You dont know how much I needed this. Thank you for being you Hitomi.
i´ve been here so long hitomi, some days up and other down like today. My life ending thoughts have came back, but today because of you i decided that im going to therapist tomorrow!
"I am blessed to be on this earth, I deserve to live each day with love gratitude towards myself" - We are all here on this earth for a reason, we all deserve to be here. Enjoy the small moments, for they add up to bigger, happier moments
"I accept myself for who I am and who I will become" An affirmation that helped me in difficult time of denial and anger with who I was/where I wanted to be
I AM ON MY DEPRESSIVE PHASE AGAIN YOU'RE ONE OF MY SERENITY, YOU MEAN A LOT HOPE U CAN SHARE MOREEEE ALWAYS I ALMOST FINISH ALL UR VIDEOS🥺🥺🥺 BUT NO PRESSURE, KEEP LIVING I FEEL ALIVE WHEN UR ALIVE 🥺🥺
I totally understand but please remember to actually use the tips in this video. It's really easy to escape into the youtube world, escaping into a fantasy but unfortunately life's challenges still wait for us on the other side as they are only put off in time. I've learned it the hard way. You can do it!
I am perfect in the place I am today. I am beyond my trauma. I am beyond my bulimia. I am worthy in the space I inhabit. I am exactly where I need to be. I am at peace with the scale. I am more than a number. My worth is not based on my size. I am free from self-judgement. I am sober and clear minded. I am holding space for love of myself and others. I am in this life to live fully. I am the light in my life. I am not meant to be extinguished.
Lately I’ve been feeling quite insignificant and questioning the reason for my existence. It’s really strange because there’s so much I want to do and experience but at the same time I wouldn’t be upset if I were gone tomorrow. Having to endure so much so young really is tiring. Hopefully I’ll look forward to life again sometime soon. Thank you for being an endless source of light x
I've avoided clicking on this video all week. One of my dearest friends and someone I considered a sister took her life last summer. The pain I have been feeling over this has twisted me so. To anyone else viewing this video who has also lost someone to the whispers of suicide, my heart goes out to you. The pain is immeasurable and nothing can make a tragedy so awful okay. But I hope others find moments of love, growth, and warmth still in the absence of a love you once valued, and hold tight to the lighter moments in life to make the harder moments easier to bear.
Nothing is as beautiful as the beautiful courage of vulnerability. Thank you for this video. I struggle with suicidal thoughts. I think it’s important to talk about. My heart is warm. I hope if anyone who is struggling reads this, know that it will pass. We are loved. I love you.❤
This hits home for me, my brother committed suicide last July and i haven't been the same since, it tore my whole family apart. I think about him every single day and i always wonder what i could have done to help him but he's gone now and theres nothing i can do about it. I feel traumatized and my anxiety has been through the roof but i try to stay positive. Videos like this really help so i thank you for that. You're a really warm beautiful energy and i need to try some of these things you speak about. Also, if any of you are thinking about committing suicide, please don't do it and think about your family and all the people that love you. People care about you, i care about you, you're amazing, life is beautiful and this time in your life right now is only temporary, things get better, you're a strong, powerful, beautiful soul and things will work out no matter what you're going through. Peace and love.
I think everyone who watches you IS being guided by you. We are all in sync with our depressive phases and you always upload just exactly what we need to hear to pick are selves up. You are an angel hitomi we are blessed YOU stayed true to yourself because you really did come to this earth to heal others as well as yourself.
I personally struggle with expressing my emotions. After years of “people pleasing” i started to recognize the toll it was taking on my body. I am going through a season of growth right now and I have been challenged to fully express emotions and following my instincts. I am so grateful you shared part of your story because it feels comforting to know that someone else can relate
I love this channel, great empowerment. Needed this, I’m 20 and still struggling with depression and thinking or trying suicide. I always look at the deep cuts on my wrists and I remember when I was 12 I looked at another girl who’d had cuts and promised myself I’d never do it. Here I am.
“Feelings aren’t facts” just remember that. The voices in your head might be loud but you are stronger than the voices, even if you it doesn’t feel that way right now. You have the power in you to change your mind and change your environment. Take a little step every day, even if it is just small self care acts like making your bed or brushing your teeth. This is a really great video. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
"I now release the pain from my past and choose to believe in the beauty of my future" ✨ this affirmation resonates with me so much in this moment🙏🏻 sending you all love💗
Thanks for this. I resonate with this immensely. I’ve had life ending thoughts since I’ve lost two babies in the second trimester. Grief is very hard to walk along side. What keeps me here is my 6 year old and the living people I have around me and the hope we will one day have another earth child. Thank you for opening this conversation ❤❤ Alyssa xx
Thank you for staying and being here ❤ you (anyone reading) are too precious to be deprived of this life. Your presence gives so much positivity to others. You will do great things
This showed up as I’m really thinking about it. I feel like this video has saved my life. This gave me the permission to cry and I haven’t cried since March all this pain is finally free thank you so much this.
Affirmations that help me through hard moments : 1. I am centered , peaceful and grounded 2. I have the ability to overcome any challenge life gives me 3. I allow myself to release negative emotions 4. I release what is not mine to feel 5. This too shall pass. I can breathe and I can release 6. I validate myself and that is enough 7. I treat myself kindly even if my mind tells me not to 8. I allow myself to just BE 9. Self care and setting boundaries help honor my feelings 10. I declare my energy return to me at this moment For me the most helpful thing i can do is just take a moment to breathe, to feel, to let myself just be. I don’t try to fix it or get rid of it, i allow myself to feel it so i can identify where it truly comes from inside of me. 💜
I find that when I detox from social media 4 - 5 days a week helps. Working more in my garden helps with my anxiety. Journaling and staying away from negative people helps. I appreciate this video. Have a beautiful evening
Before watching: I'm really scared of the suicide conversation lately and have been avoiding watching this video (even though my career is in mental health /education). Regardless of my fear, I am drawn to the importance of this conversation. I am ready to witness your story now. After: 'Your story'... became instantly relatable despite our different paths. Thank you for sharing and by virtue, guiding me towards myself.
To be honest... there is so much sadness inside of me I can't even describe it. But instead of trying to get rid of it embracing it really helped. Idk if it's just me but when I cry I feel the most connected to myself and my own energy and it helps me to have a clear mind and make the right decisions that make me happy
True beauty is in truth, getting naked and candid. I am so moved by your demonstration of what resonates with me as true beauty. Thanks for this example 🙏🏿
Im not sure if u will see this but even though u dont know me, u are a really important person in my life. l love your soul and energy. Thanks for making me feel safe everytime with your videos ❤️ Thank you so much for being here.
thank you so much for sharing your story. I had also dealt with suicidal thoughts from age 13 to 21 and I struggled with self harm for just as long. I am still working through self limiting behaviors like not sticking to a morning routine that is centered around regulating my nervous system and really paying attention to myself and my needs before others. But every small step towards that goal is progress. I just celebrated my 23rd birthday last week and I was crying from happiness because I was alive and so happy to be where I am in my life now. I accomplished so much these past two years of my healing journey. I no longer feel depressed and anxious on a daily basis and I know how to work with myself in a constructive way when I get down. You're so inspiring to me and I'm so glad we have a light being like you to bring us a taste of grace, belonging and love in this world.
This is an empowering video. I am 59, it hurt me to the core to see that people so young deciding to take their own life because of lack of a coping method. "That this to will pass" With social media it becoming really difficult to make young people understand that you can not take what people post or say about you to the bone. "What you feed (give more power) into your life is what will gain you strength or make you vulnerable. Your worth is not measured by things of this earth. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
Something my mentor said to me in our last meeting that struck me deeply... We are all infinite. Because we are all infinite, there is a part of our heart that has never known pain. Let that sit with you.
Thank you for your light, Hitomi✨ A mantra that has helped me a lot (and still does) is “Everything is perfect and necessary. I am where I am supposed to be.”
you are such a warrior 🥺... I'm going trough depression at the moment and it gives me a little bit of hope so thank you very much ❤people really need that, our society needs that
hitomi, i'm so glad that you're still here with us today. i have also survived many suicide attempts. it's been 2 years and 5 months since my last one! :) i was only 18 at the time :( i have learned so much and have healed so much and i am so happy to be alive. i think being at such a low point in life really makes us appreciate life more.
Finished watching at 1:11 🙏 your kind words are so deeply appreciated. Your genuineness makes me cry tears of joy. Sometimes it feels like you’re speaking directly to me, like a friend who comes when I need you the most. Thank you. Much love
You are the light at the end of my tunnel. Litterally took me out the hole I thought was so deep within. Thank you for being you. Thank you for making this video.
The courage to be transparent about your dark side is astounding and commendable. You are a loving, pure and generous soul. Shedding the dark and the wisdom won from your experiences has illuminated not only your life but countless others.
you have no idea how much I needed your words this morning. thank you for reminding me how normal and valid these feelings are and for guiding me to choose hope and choose myself despite what my mind/abuser's voice in my mind, might say. I love you immensely and you are helping me and others heal--thank you
I love you Hitomi
I was going to say the same thing.
i love her and i love you too
I love both of you
i love you BOTH

Picking that one little pattern to upgrade during the darkest of moments - like trading in a binge of Gossip Girls for a soul-nourishing documentary - is such a beautiful (and accessible) way to infuse love where there was once a void. Thank you, Hitomi, for sharing your hard-earned wisdom.
An affirmation that has helped me in my dark times is “my feelings are valid but temporary” also treating myself as a friend in those situations instead of berating myself makes a big difference
“I give to myself all that I once desired from others” 💗🧚🏼🌷
As long as your heart is pure, speaking the truth is always the right answer
I still sometimes feel anxious during my morning Yoga/Meditation. I will say to myself: “I am safe. There is no where else I need to be.” This helps ground me in the present. I often feel a pull away from my morning practice because I want to just start my day but I need to remind myself that nothing is as urgent as my own self care.
Yees girl yees, i need to say that to myself too, WE ARE OUR PRIORITY ❤
“You have everything you could possibly need to get to where you want to be”
i have been feeling so drained these past couple of days, and i was just sitting in my room thinking: “i could really use a breather rn, i wonder if hitomi has uploaded anything new” and voilá, a video that was only put out 7 minutes ago. tysm, i’m just gonna go get myself some hot chocolate to make this perfect haha
thinking if I should wait until I get home to make some hot choc too… 💓
I've been struggling with those thoughts again all month. Especially today has been so bad. You dont know how much I needed this. Thank you for being you Hitomi.
Sending you all the love and safety you need ❤️

Prayers sweetheart. All of us have been where you are right now. Everything is ok. Breathe deep. Your safe.
You’re an angel, I was just contemplating an attempt
you are so loved.
You are so loved. 💛

I have been through so much and survived. My life is my own and no one can take away my hope for the future. Patience is key. It will get better.

Brilliant book , shantaram ❤
Well, technically no one has the right to kill anyone...

Im not sure if u will see this but even though u dont know me, u are a really important person in my life. l love your soul and energy. Thanks for making me feel safe everytime with your videos ❤️ Thank you so much for being here.
thank you so much for sharing your story. I had also dealt with suicidal thoughts from age 13 to 21 and I struggled with self harm for just as long. I am still working through self limiting behaviors like not sticking to a morning routine that is centered around regulating my nervous system and really paying attention to myself and my needs before others. But every small step towards that goal is progress. I just celebrated my 23rd birthday last week and I was crying from happiness because I was alive and so happy to be where I am in my life now. I accomplished so much these past two years of my healing journey. I no longer feel depressed and anxious on a daily basis and I know how to work with myself in a constructive way when I get down. You're so inspiring to me and I'm so glad we have a light being like you to bring us a taste of grace, belonging and love in this world.
Seeing this today is my sign to keep going. Thank you x
This is an empowering video. I am 59, it hurt me to the core to see that people so young deciding to take their own life because of lack of a coping method. "That this to will pass" With social media it becoming really difficult to make young people understand that you can not take what people post or say about you to the bone. "What you feed (give more power) into your life is what will gain you strength or make you vulnerable. Your worth is not measured by things of this earth. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
Something my mentor said to me in our last meeting that struck me deeply... We are all infinite. Because we are all infinite, there is a part of our heart that has never known pain. Let that sit with you.
Thank you for your light, Hitomi✨ A mantra that has helped me a lot (and still does) is “Everything is perfect and necessary. I am where I am supposed to be.”
Some days my mind feels like the worst prison... this video helps not to feel so bad, thank you 🍀❤
My affirmation today - I am strong enough to succeed and my energy will empower others.

“I am the light in others as they are in me” is the affirmation I’ve been using to get me out of my depressive slump
hitomi, i'm so glad that you're still here with us today. i have also survived many suicide attempts. it's been 2 years and 5 months since my last one! :) i was only 18 at the time :( i have learned so much and have healed so much and i am so happy to be alive. i think being at such a low point in life really makes us appreciate life more.
Finished watching at 1:11 🙏 your kind words are so deeply appreciated. Your genuineness makes me cry tears of joy. Sometimes it feels like you’re speaking directly to me, like a friend who comes when I need you the most. Thank you. Much love
You are the light at the end of my tunnel. Litterally took me out the hole I thought was so deep within. Thank you for being you. Thank you for making this video.
The courage to be transparent about your dark side is astounding and commendable. You are a loving, pure and generous soul. Shedding the dark and the wisdom won from your experiences has illuminated not only your life but countless others.
Thank you, Hitomi, for helping me pull myself out of what seemed to be a never ending cycle of darkness and into the light❤️
