WE LOVE YOU GUYS :D
WHO WE ARE:
We are Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy, and Lauren Cimorelli, 5 sisters originally from Northern California who are now based in Nashville, TN. We grew up singing in a big family of 11 children and our mom, a classical pianist, taught us to sing in harmony when we were kids. We got our start in musical theatre productions, doing classical pieces in the church choir and performing barbershop harmonies at nursing homes for the elderly (back then our grandma was our agent).
In 2009, when Christina was 18 years old and Lauren was 10 years old, we posted a cover of us singing Party In The USA that ended up going viral. From that video, we were discovered by a manager in London, and shortly after signed with Universal Music Group under Island Records. We moved to Los Angeles in 2010, where we lived and worked in the L.A. pop music world for 5 years, before getting extremely burnt out. We realized a major label deal wasn’t for us, left our label and moved to Nashville, TN, looking for a new start. In 2015, we officially became Nashville-based, independent artists.
Since then, we have written and released 5 albums of original music, toured all over the U.S., South America, and Europe, performed at festivals in Germany, Spain and the Philippines, wrote a book, Believe In You: Big Sister Stories and Advice on Living Your Best Life, started a podcast (The Cimorelli Podcast) and reached over 1 billion views on our UA-cam channel. Currently, the 5 of us sisters are embarking on new journeys of marriage and starting our own families (Christina, Katherine and Lisa), and figuring out life as twenty-somethings (Lauren and Amy).
Our goal with our UA-cam channel is to constantly challenge ourselves to grow creatively, and to make videos and music that is positive, uplifting and innovative. Our Christian faith guides our decisions, and we will always create content that is family friendly, while not being afraid to touch on topics that we believe are important, such as mental health and personal growth. Thank you for being here, and for being a part of our amazing supporters, the Cim Fam!
I can't imagine it would be easy showing your vulnerable side to such a large online audience...thank you girls for sharing these moments with us...it truly helps some of those struggling 💙
I choked back so many tears while Christina was speaking because of how much I relate. Getting up in the morning, going to work, interacting with people, doing chores...I have to push myself so hard to do it. All I want to do is lay in my bed and cry.
Stay strong everyone.
Me too😞
I relate to her so much. This is the first time I’ve heard someone specifically mention the thoughts and stuff. Wow! Thank you!
Same here.
me to🥲😭
If nobody has ever said this to you: your feelings are valid and you are allowed to express them. ❤️ It might feel scary to open up but the eventually the outcome will be refreshing!
You have ALLLLL my love and prayers Lauren!!!!! II Chronicles 15..... "The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you". Love you all... Your lives are a blessing!!!!
Seeing this picture of Lauren breaks my heart. I already know I'm going to cry this video. I hope you are all doing fine and will get better. We're all doing this together. I love you girls so much❤️
Holy wow Kath left me in tears and with my jaw open. Her experiences (especially as a child) are so so so eerily similar to mine. Goes to show that we never ever were/are alone in our struggles 🥺
I love that Cimorelli are talking about this topic because lots of people don't talk about it. I feel like they are summing up how I feel every day. I hope who ever reads this and is struggling from mental health you will get through it. Thank you Cimorelli.
Exactly me too
I felt their struggles cause i as well struggle with them
Aww that picture of Lauren makes my heart break 💔 I know this video is gonna be an emotional one, I just need to mentally prepare myself
You girls are amazing, every single one of you. I love you all as sisters and individuals and I hope you know you are all beautiful, powerful young women. 💖💖
You can hear it in Lauren . It made me tear up. She is so private and I can only imagine those moments. Lauren you are not alone. God bless ❤️
I already know imma cry while watching this one I struggle with mental health issues as well. love you guys!! 💜
Jaycee- hope you are doing ok
@@JC-bq3vd can I do anything to help?
@@JC-bq3vd you are not alone in how you are feeling. Many have been in and are in same situation as you. We can get through whatever you are going through together.
@@JC-bq3vd you would be missed. Missed greatly. You are special and touched many people in this world!
@@JC-bq3vd I care! And I know many others do.
Omg I feel for Kathrine. I've also dealt with depression, social anxiety, and grief. Losing someone can have a big impact on your life and mental health. It was so hard to deal with that my mom had to deal with it too.
I can see myself in Lauren a lot. I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks since I was a kid, it's not easy at all and nobody seems understand you. Thankfully therapy helps a lot ❤️
As someone who struggles with chronic depression, anxiety/anxious distress, PTSD, OCD, childhood trauma, suicide, self harm and an ED for the past 16 years (started when I was 7 and still in recovery with PTSD/trauma, Depression and Anxiety at 22. I've been clean from harming myself for over two years🙌) I'm so happy and proud of you guys for taking this huge step and talking more in depth about your own mental health. It takes so much for someone to talk about their own journey and I'm sending you guys all the love and strength❤
You‘re very strong, I’m very proud of you and hope it will get better!❤️
I have struggled with depression anxiety childhood drama and it sucks I mean emotionally and mentally I am so glad I am not the only one
Thank you for sharing as well. I have dealt with literally everything you said except an ED. I'm so sorry you have had to deal with all these things. I know the pain and struggle but I can tell by the way you write that you are strong. You've got this. Will be praying for you! And thanks for sharing.
You’re strong. You’re brave. You’re resilient. You’re a warrior 🙂
me too
that’s why I love and admire so much you guys! it’s not “simply music”, thank you for this kind of content. you have no idea how important it is for us. ❤️
I just want to say thank you for sharing your stories! You love and care for your fans so much that even if it is hard to share those struggles, you do it anyway because you know it will help others. Thank you!
Lauren absolutely broke my heart in this video. I can tell how difficult it was for her to share her story, but this is such a huge step and it’s so important to normalize mental health conversations. Thank you for posting this video - we all needed it ♥️
I'm a dude and I usually don't cry very often, but I'm sure this video about their mental health issue stories are gonna have me in tears 😭😢 I love you girls and Stay Prayed Up and Stay Strong 🙏❤
I can’t believe how much I relate to you all, thank you for opening up and making us feel we’re not alone and that we can get through it. BRB crying ☹️
Omg I can already tell I’m going to cry and relate so much😭 Thank you for being so open and honest with us, You are all incredible! Love you all ❤️
I’m definitely going to cry watching this video but I can’t wait! Thank you guys for sharing this with us it’s going to help so many people out realize that they aren’t alone❤️
Lauren’s mind is scary relatable to me. I’m even afraid to write this comment bc I’m admitting that what Lauren said directly applies to me so people now know all of that stuff about me. I’m a super private person who doesn’t enjoy sharing that kind of stuff
But I’m like that too your not alone feel hugged
I am like that too. My anxiety is very bad. But we are not alone
I always appreciate that you all are always willing to share your struggles with us. It is part of why I am a fan. You all have helped me get through some mental struggles and I am working on them more and more everyday
I can seriously relate to all of them in some ways. Thank you guys for talking about these things that a lot of people struggle with. 🙏🏼 🤍
I cried from the first second to last on this video. I struggle with mental health and it's hard, it's never easy but the strength that you guys have to go through it in front of millions of people is amazing. You're amazing in every single way ❤ thank you!
I cried multiple times throughout this video. Thank y'all so much for sharing with us
ive struggled with severe anxiety, social anxiety separation anxiety panic disorder and depression for a longggg time some of those my whole life and they are difficult to talk about so i really applaud you, very brave of you to open up about and honestly this was a video i needed to watch today
I adore about how they are just really willing to get vulnerable and just be real.. and rlly I never had anyone to tought me or had a role model that is willing to be real and vulnerable and also teaching you that being real and vulnerable sometimes and actually feel those things is okayy. Thank you guys.. ILY 💜
I feel like you all sharing these struggle is s so important! It’s absolutely amazing and will definitely be helpful for a lot of people! Seeing that EVERYONE has mental health struggles! Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share your experiences with the world! ❤️
This is THE video I needed right now. Thank you so much Cimorelli, for literally everything you do !!!
Thank you for sharing this. You guys have helped me so much through your music, podcast, and book. For anyone reading this; you are enough and you matter.
Thank you guys for doing this. EVERYONE battles mental health and you guys are amazing and inspiring for shedding light
Mental Health really affects a person's life, and some think it's a joke. I was told many times that I was just being dramatic, or I was just overreacting, like I'm always misunderstood, and this this makes me feel understood. I don't open up, but I also don't give up because I know that people like Cimorelli are around, and that makes me feel good because I know that I am not fighting this 'life' alone!
I feel that so much... They told me as well many times that i was being dramatic or overreacting... And for me it felt like okay so i can't share my story with you then because you think like that... So i will keep my mouth shut then and don't talk at all... But then it only gets worse because you keep everything for yourself. It gives me only more pain and that makes me scared
Same that’s why I have hardcore trust issues and also just trauma
@@leilaahhv yeah I get that. But you know growing out of friendships is a part of life, you still have yourself so don't give up on that!
I just watched their testimony video yesterday..was about to ask for a part 2 ....thanx cimorelli.....lauren don't cry😥
Honestly, this came out at a perfect time. I really needed to hear that I’m not alone. Thank you, and praying for y’all. ❤️
I relate to Lauren sooo much! Itd madness how similar we are! Thank you for sharing! Really appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing!
I’ve never related so much to something until this video! I’ve always assumed I had OCD but hearing talk about her experience as a child is word for word what it was for me. Thanks for being so vulnerable and normalizing this conversation!
Y’all have the same things I do!! I love how y’all posted this! I’m 17 and a senior and have struggled with anxiety and depression for a while and suicidal thoughts and everything. Thank yall for posting!
I am so grateful you made this video, I often wonder if I am the only person in the world who is so broken and struggles a lot with mental health. The fact that you have opened up, helps and means a lot to me. Thank you for being this honest and vulnerable.
Thank you for talking about this, it's so brave and strong of you to do this video! I care about you, we care about you, you guys have such a important impact on me, on us, on the world. I admire you. Thank you for being vulnerable
You’re helping so many people through this video. Thank you ❤️
I relate so much to what Katherine was saying about the fear of losing control and subsequently obsessing over your loved ones dying. Thank you for sharing that, lots of love to all of you❤️
Thank you all so much for sharing this. It’s so comforting to hear others share and know that I’m not alone. I struggle very similarly to Katherine, and knowing that she understands me and I understand her was very comforting.💗💗
Thank you guys for sharing this today, I didn’t know I needed a good cry. I can’t imagine the courage it took to make this video. You guys are an inspiration to me ❤️
You're very strong, girls. I've been fighting against the depressive & anxiety disorders with the PTSD, and also had an extreme depression in the past. It costs so much patience, but luckily medicine's progressing and there are way more modern ways appearing to fight such things
I can relate to this so much and I can see myself in each of your personal experiences with anxiety and depression. The rumination of anxious thoughts that spiral into depression has been my biggest struggle. Thank you for being open with us and making us feel less alone.
It’s so nice that y’all share this, I can imagine it’s super difficult. Over here on the other side of the screen it always appears on UA-cam and social media that others have no mental health issues. It means a lot for y’all to share and is nice knowing we’re not alone and neither are y’all. We’re all struggling 💕
i suffer from ptsd, anxiety, ocd & depression… thank you girls so much for sharing with us 😭😢
thank you guys for being so vulnerable 💗it will help a lot of people including me ☀️
I can never be this open, especially on the internet. Wow, you guys are brave!!! I'm sure I can relate to a lot of the things that you are going to say and that's just going to tell me that I'm not alone so, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
It's crazy how much i can relate to them right now. I struggle a lot with different things. I can't imagine sharing my problems so openly with a huge audience and community. My respect for doing that. I hope you're better now and i hope that everybody that is going through something has someone to talk to or somebody that helps. Katherine I relate so much to what you feel
I hope that you guys understand what you have done for me and my mental health. I LIVED off of your music and Cimorelli Saturday was what kept me going for so long. I love to see you expressing yourselves and it really is so brave to post things like this ❤️
I'm 36 years old and Kathrine talking about her childhood OCD completely blew my mind. I remember thinking and doing almost the exact same things. I had no idea it was even a thing,with a name! I really just lived my life like that. So sad thinking about it now.
Same... I would always (and still do) think things like "if I can hold my breath until the dog comes through the door, then so-and-so will be my friend, I'll pass this test, I'll get this job etc."
It's sad to reflect on my life, especially my childhood and teen years, and know that so much of my suffering could have been lessened or even avoided if I had known that I could/should ask for help.
I have Generalized anxiety disorder and I’ve have random spouts of depression since I was a teen. Thank you for being so vulnerable and real for all of us!
sending so much love to whoever needs it❤️❤️❤️
I've struggled with anxiety and OCD since I was a child and this video helped so much to help me feel not alone. Thank you for sharing your story. 💖💖💖💖
what lauren said about not feeling save with anyone really hit me because i’ve always felt exactly like that, and it’s kind of comforting because i’ve never believed that someone else had gone through the same as me. thank you for doing this video and making us feel less alone
I just saw the thumbnail and the video title, and I’m already crying. I love you guys so much 5ever! I’m just so grateful to be in this community, the CimFam, because I know we’re all in this together. 😭❤️💗❣️
Hearing Lauren talk about her eating struggles was so powerful for me because that’s where I am right now. I love opening up about mental health and I’m so proud of the girls 🥰
I relate so much to you Lauren. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories. I grew up with horrible anxiety as well and stressed out over meeting new people, driving to new places, and ordering food. I dreaded large gatherings where I’d have to talk to people and let them get to know me. I felt alone through all of this because no one understood how I felt and why I felt anxious about seemingly everything. I hated being the center of attention. 24 years later, I’m a math teacher and still deal with anxiety, but now I feel like I can work with it because I have a purpose in life. My students keep me going so that I can keep them going.
This is why you are able to write lyrics that touch our souls❤. So glad I recently found you.
I had no idea how much I would relate to you guys. Thank you for sharing this and helping others be able to identify what is happening in their own lives. Y’all have helped me learn and be able to identify what I struggle with a lot of the time. Praying for y’all ❤️
i really respect how open they are❤️ love you guys
I never knew I needed this video until I watched it… and the fact that Lauren and Christina could put into words everything Ive been feeling for so long…
I literally have to pause and breathe when Lauren was telling her story because of how much I relate to her. I hope we both feel genuinely okay someday. Thank you for this, Cims💗
Dealing with your mental health whilst being famous and with everyone watching your every move can't be easy. This video is going to make us all emotional and it must be hard sharing your struggle with us, but always know that you will always have us, the CimFam to support you and understand you. Your music saved a lot of young people who are dealing with challenges and problems, it even saved me too. So thank you Cimorelli, for saving us, for being there for us when we needed someone to be there. I hope whatever you're dealing with will heal through time and will teach you a lot of things. I wish I could save you like you saved me. Sending hugs and love💗
You girls are so amazing. Thank you for expressing yourselves and sharing your experiences with us. We love you
This video has me crying. Lauren’s story is so relatable to me and I’m so glad I got to hear it. I’m just so grateful to hear all of them but Lauren’s in particular has hit me. Thank you for the video guys ❤️❤️
I'm so proud of you for sharing knowing how difficult it can be, and as someone who's going through continuous mental health sturggles, this encouraged me to seek therapy after hearing how beneficial it was for y'all because I've been hesitant for months out of fear that therapy might not work, so thank you so much for this.
It is really brave of you to open up about your struggle with different types of anxiety. It's to cry, because everyone do that sometimes through their lives. I love you so much and I appreciate that you all are yourselves and also show that the life is not always what it looks like on social medias. It is so sad to hear so often on the news that so many people are struggling with different types of anxiety and depression. Sometimes I have felt the feeling of anxiety, that feeling is horrible. No one should experience that at all. I am so proud of all of your journeys with struggling. I'll always be there for you, no matter what. Btw, my English is not the best, I am from Sweden, so don't judge me lol. A LOT OF LOVE FROM SWEDEN!
I really appreciate you all being vulnerable about mental health. I hope it encourages people to talk to their friends and find a therapist, but also to just feel less alone.
Thanks so much for opening your hearts and being vulnerable about these things. I work in youth ministry, and sooo many of my girls look up to you all. Many of them also share in these struggles. Thanks for being amazing role models and for helping countless people to know they're not alone. ♥
I can relate to Lauren 🥺, it’s really hard and sometimes you blame yourself . Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest 💖.
Thank you so much for doing this, I have always felt like having anxiety and depression… I always felt like I wasn’t good enough ( I still do) and it’s so freaking amazing to hear from other people what they “struggle” with ❤️❤️ I really do appreciate and love you all so much xx lots of love from South Africa
Thank you ladies!!! You all did great being open and vulnerable. This will help a lot of people I am sure.
OMG LAUREN BABY 😭😭😭 I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! PLEASE DON‘T CRY 😢 I AM MENTALLY SICK IN EVERY REGARDS BUT I TRY TO LIVE FOR THE LITTLE POSITIVE THINGS THAT HAPPEN AND WILL HAPPEN. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. Christina, Kath, Lisa, Amy, Lauren and Danielle 🌹
I agree. Lauren is my bias too by the way
I absolutely agree
This is amazing this is the sort of role models people today need. Making people know they’re not alone can help mental health so much. Thank you girls ❤️
So proud of you girls for doing this. I struggle a lot with anxiety and at the moment I am in a very dark place. This video made me feel less alone. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your struggle with mental health. Each of you are lucky to have each other’s support in when going through these challenges. My daughter was diagnosed at a young age with severe OCD and Panic Attack Disorder. Her childhood was riddled with rituals and counting and so many crippling anxieties. So I know it is very hard to share your stories. She has improved through the years… but still both haunt her enough to cause her struggles in day to day life.
Be strong. We love you.
I'm so grateful for this video. It's so brave of you girls to talk about this difficult topic, knowing it will help so many people (me included). You put on words feelings that I have which was so nice, it made me realize some things about myself. Also, as a last year psychology student, I think it's so positive that you talk about going to a good therapist, and find one that specializes in the things you're struggle with. This is so important! People sometimes think any therapist can help, put you have to look for the one for you, so thank you for saying this, so people can know it and have a "better mental health journey" with the help they need. You are amazing, girls!!
I relate so much to Katherine and Amy talking about OCD. Thanks for talking about it, it's good to know that no one is alone in this or in any mental health issue
I love how open y'all are!! Can't wait for the video!!💖
I watched all of your videos growing up and in that time i also struggled with OCD. Back then it would have helped me so much if you had posted a Video like this. Thank you for Posting this Video so people who struggle with it know they are not alone. I can only imagine how much this will help others ❤❤
Ever since i started watching the girls since 2012, over the years they’ve shared so much vulnerability and insight on emotions. They HONESTLY helped me discover so many things about myself through their strength in order to share their struggles to help other people. I was 16 then and now I’m 25. They’ve always helped me grow and build my emotional energy. I can never thank you girls enough for your incredible vulnerability and openness ❤️❤️😭😭
Lauren, I really relate to what you were going through. I struggle so much with not speaking up for myself, being afraid to speak my feelings about any negative situation, etc. it’s so hard for me to do. I feel so guilty if I do because when I do all filters are off…and that’s not what God wants me to do…I’m so thankful for Cimorelli!
I really relate to the experiences Lauren & Christina shared, especially not feeling safe or things feeling extremely negative and stuck. I was JUST talking about this last night. Feeling safe is everything. And Christina & Lauren are so right on about not all therapists being good for us! It's really important to find the right one for YOU. I've had to recognize that and find new therapists who specialize in my specific traumas and sensitivities. It makes all the difference. Thank you all so much for sharing really difficult challenges while also sharing some practices and possibilities of support. I hope to find friends like you in my lifetime. You're such incredible souls! Wishing you all continued Blessings 💖
Very, very moving - thank you so much for being part of the movement to normalize talking about mental health. And thank you for reminding me of what I already know! I hope you are all getting the love and support you need.
I really related to Lauren. I have GAD, panic disorder, and extreme emetophobia. Emetophobia makes it so difficult to function and it feels so isolating because it’s hard to talk about and explain. Thank you all for sharing this topic, even though it’s hard.
O my goodness Lauren your story is literally my experience to a T!!! I’ve gotten over some of the dating and social anxiety I have but it’s so comforting to know that someone else understands what I am/was going through. ❤️❤️❤️
You are all amazing and thank you for sharing your stories. This helps us more than you know!
That thumbnail or Lauren crying is making me cry😭 i already know i am going to cry😭 I love you guys!
This video really moved me, I was so inspiring and helpful, thanks again for being so honest and vulnerable, it makes me feel less alone. Love you girls
honestly thank you guys for this. i am immensely proud of you for being open and vulnerable bc iknow how hard it can be. im 17 and i’ve struggled with mental health since i can remember. i’ve been on and off therapy. on and off medication. and on and off psychiatric clinics. its a tough journey. i struggle with disordered eating, severe depression and anxiety disorder, symptoms of bpd and ocd, and recurrent suicide attempts. but im here and still fighting. its not easy at all, but to anyone reading this, i promise its worth it. i even made a video of my own sharing my mental health story in hopes to help at least one person, you can watch if you wish. moral of the story is: you are strong. you are loved. you deserve to be here. and- i am so proud of you. i love every single one of you ❤️
Loved this. So vulnerable and real, it felt like really sitting and talking with y’all. ❤️
I’m definitely going to cry tomorrow after watching this video love you guys a lot
i remember watching your testimony video and hoping you’d make one like this. im so glad you guys did❤️ sending love from peru
I go through these but never really spoke up about it. It has been so eye opening to see this and I'm so proud for them to speak up about it
Wow I can relate to so many of the things they said, I've been struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other issues since I was 11 years old! And it's so comforting to hear other people's experiences because I feel like I'm not alone I'm not the only one going through those things. and to see them talking about that topic so openly is great. We should all pay more attention to mental health
What Christina said is so relatable. You guys are so brave to share this with people. I really needed to listen to this. I love you so much!!
Cimorelli sisters ❤️ Been here for a few years and you remind me so much my sisters and I. A million thanks for sharing this with us all! I am currently reading a book called “It didn’t start with you: How inherited family trauma shapes who we are and how to end the cycle” and I cannot even begin to tell you how instrumental it has been for me. From someone who would have never said in a million years that I underwent family trauma to truly realizing how things that happened generations before have deeply affected me mentally. Couldn’t recommend the book more! Bless you all xX
Currently struggling with mental health issues, your video gives me strength❤️
Thank you for shedding some light on mental health.❤️ I can definitely relate!
