    I am glad I watched this video. I have mentioned in a few other comments that I had gastric bypass surgery November 2023, got laid off in Feb 2024, and took a new position with a lot more responsibility in March 2024. I have always battled with depression, but I am currently in the deepest depression I have ever been in and I cannot turn to my "friend" food for "comfort." I have started going to therapy again, adjusting meds, and am taking some time off work... but this really hit close to home. I am proud of you both for getting the help you needed, but also being open about it.

    I’m so proud of you for recognizing you need help! As a mom sometimes this is really hard for us!
    I’m the world’s worst at putting my own personal needs on the back burner! I told my husband recently I need to make an appointment at our local orthopedic clinic….about a yr ago I tripped and fell into my house from my garage….i knew I
    broke my pinky. But I also knew there isn’t much they can do for a broken pinky. Now I am having trouble as I can’t straighten it and it is starting to curl in…so I just called to setup an appointment to take care of myself!

    I’ve been through this myself. Thank you for this video. I did seek help and so much better now. I hope that ones who watched this and are struggling will seek help. Nothing to be ashamed about. Glad you are doing better Jess.

    Jess - So many people struggle in silence. Myself included - I was hospitalized several times in 2019. I have such a wonderful life and when it hits me it is crippling. Someone could give me 10,000 dollars and say go shopping and I still could’nt get out of bed. I see a regular talk therapist. I don’t do well with medication. It makes me worse. I really have learned tools to help. I wish I could take medication. I totally support you and want you to know I’m super proud that you had the strength and courage to reach out. Depression is a medical condition & the more we talk about it the more we can help others. Luv ya bunches. ❤️😀

    Thank you so much for this video… it made me realize that I need to go back to my doctor and get back on depression meds. I’ve been through a lot of trauma throughout growing up & I’ve been on many depression medication + more & I never truly gave it a chance and I always gave up and stopped taking it because I would tell myself “ I’m broken and can’t be fixed “ I’ve finally come to the realization that I’m no less than anyone else because I need some help mentally. I do lack endorphins and I need to get back on medication. I’m so proud of you❤

    Thank you for sharing this!!! I also had to go see my doctor after my mom passed away from Alzheimer’s last year and it it him like a ton of bricks. I had been trying to deal with some things that had happened in our life over the past few years and it all came to “I can’t do this anymore” I am on some medicine and I thank God for it. Do I still have bad yes I do; but I’m so much better. May God Bless you in a very special way for sharing your story!! Love your videos

    Beautiful Jess, I’ve been watching you and your Precious Family for many years 🥰 Don’t comment that often, but Love you and pray for all of you. You’re One in a Billion, so is David. Thank you for another Wonderful blog, very Proud of you. I’ve struggled with depression since 1990. Been on Wellbutrin off and on since then. The only one that’s helped. I noticed the difference in a week. Still a struggle, but you’re a 100% right about everything you said 🥰 There is No Shame. As a Christian, through my life, I’ve listened to many other Christians judging me, saying what you heard too. But Jess, listening to a lot of those well meaning people about other things, caused me great pain over my life. Now, I’m a lot older and along with prayer, use common sense, like you 🥰🙏🏻 Jess, you and David have a lot of common sense. You’re some of the best parents in the world. You’re Also, True Christians that genuinely show Gods light, to everyone you meet💝💙 Love You tons and am thankful you’re on Utube to minister to myself and others. Thank You Beautiful Angel 🙏🏻🥰💕

I have been there and take medication everyday for it. Thank you for being so real with us. That is why I love you and your channel so much. Hugs for you. My friend. Take care. God Bless You and Your Family.

    ❤❤ I so wish that stigma, particularly in the church, would go away. As a pharmacist I of course know and have seen how important and the difference medication can make but I’ve experienced that judgement even within my own family. Being told I don’t have enough faith in God if I am struggling with depression and anxiety only makes me feel worse! Finding the right medication has made all the difference in the world for me.

    • @BlessedJess

    You and your channel will make a difference in someone’s life today. Thank you for your bravery in sharing. I’m proud of you for going to your doctor and am glad that they listened.
    I struggled with anxiety, to the point that it was truly debilitating. I got the courage to tell my doctor, and she brushed it off, saying all moms worry. This was different. The next year at my checkup, I broke down in tears as soon as she walked in the room. She felt terrible for not following up with me sooner. I was afraid to start medication- because, anxiety- but I’m so glad I did.

      I know I have commented before that your videos have helped keep my mind occupied when I am going through anxious times, and also that your videos are a comforting part of my daily routine. I want to apologize if my comments made you feel pressured while you yourself were struggling with your mental health. I’m struggling to find the words to convey what I mean, so hopefully you understand. 🩷

    Jess,
    I am so very sorry that you have been struggling and feeling so alone. Thank you for talking openly about your situation. We are not perfect and or a robot. We have feelings and go through trials. When I was told I could never teach again after 17 years my career due to a genetic 💙 defect I felt worthless and not good enough. I continue to have times of struggle. We moved to OK away from ALL friends and family which took a toll. I can work only part time but feel that my poor husband has to always pick up the slack. We do not have children of our own due to my condition so feeling alone is common. Hence why I enjoy my U Tube family so much. You were my very 1st U Tube channel and I consider you my younger sister. You are so very beautiful inside and out. Your 3 children are a blessing and joy to watch grow and develop. I wish we could meet and hang out...my 💙 is crying for your pain. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you daily.
    With 💘, Katy

    You are so brave for sharing this. People don't realize that even though everything "looks fine" it might not be. What you say about doctors...people who are unwell and say "God will save me" but my feeling is, God gave us doctors and gave them the skills to help us. Sending prayers.

    I don’t necessarily have depression but because of my disability one of the many things that comes with it is inability to control my emotions. I have never been diagnosed with depression, put on medication for it, or it becomes to the point where I can’t get out of bed. I have been through a lot in my life. Lots of abandonment from family and friends, I have had to learn to keep my circle of truly caring loving people small because the people who truly care and value my time will show up. I occasionally see others but it’s not worth me putting in the effort and having more hurt. My only friend lives all the way on the other side of the United States and we haven’t seen each other in almost 3 years. We text all the time and call occasionally. Sometimes my family gets me down or not being able to see my friend and it may feel like depression but I still push through my day.

    Thank you for being vulnerable and trusting us to tell your story. Life is so unbelievably hard right now. I never had an issue with mental illness until about 2 years ago. My husband told me I was being mean and for me that is so out of character. I never ended up going to a Dr but I did start talking to a few people and it helped so much. I have continued to pray and speak to God and I feel so much better but if I need medication I will speak with my Dr. I am so glad you are feeling better.
