  • There is a jump scare in this video and I was cracking up when I put it in there. That's your warning. Y'all. I'm so tired of cleaning this room. It's taking forever and I still have a whole house to go. At the same time, I don't want any help. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Figure that one out. 🫠

    Do you realize that you've got about 8K friends cheering for you out here? Do you think we're subscribing to schadenfreude over your nest?! No we're not! You're so charming, sensitive and clearly very creative, so there is no doubt you will climb out of that hill victorious soon enough.
    I speak on behalf of all of us: YOU GOT THIS! And we're all excited to see you win.

    Thanks for sharing your photos and memories with us! You’ve done more than “clean” in the last seven weeks, you’ve organized, purged, and did regular life things…not to mention editing videos and connecting with an audience to boot! Your cousin doesn’t get it yet, but maybe she’ll come over sometime and help a little while bonding with her awesome cousin!

    Hey Tracie! Don’t feel anyway because of your cousin’s comment. Take your time! You have accomplished soooo much, and if it takes 7 more episodes to complete your room, then that’s okay! We’re here for it. Your personality is amazing and I personally love how real & relatable you are and your content reflects that. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing great!!

    I recently went back through all my journals dating all the way back to teenage years and realized they have all been woe is me and pretty depressing. I decided to burn all my journals. I realized holding on to those journals was me holding on to my depression. I decided to move on from all the lost, pain, trauma and all that. Whether it’s journal or pics If looking at it doesn’t bring me joy I’m burning it. Thank you sooo much for sharing this with us because whew I know this struggle so well.

    • @traciemae

    1. Thank you for editing the smacks! As soon as you mentioned smacking I thought it Tamar Braxton. I really enjoy these videos, so thanks for taking the time to take them out. 2. As far as your cousin, some times people think constructive criticism is encouraging, but according to your mental space it can lead to a shut down. You’re doing so good and we see the progress. Keep going at your own pace and you’ll get there. Celebrate the small wins and that you’re making progress.

    Hey Tracie! I don't know if anybody mentioned this in previous videos, but have you thought of hiring a professional organizer to come in and assist you. I know the app Task Rabbit offers this service. Maybe they can help you feel less overwhelmed ❤

    • @traciemae
      @traciemae  8 місяців тому

      I've hired a couple of organizers in the past and basically you're paying money for someone to watch YOU go through your stuff. They can't tell you what to keep. So it's just awkward. It wasn't my cup o' tea. I found one girl I really like, but for the money....I can do it myself. Slower for sure, but FREER. lol.

  • @Istillhavejoy
    @Istillhavejoy 8 місяців тому +1

    Girl, I don't think anyone new what to expect from a series called Depression Nest LOL. I don't really care where the series goes honestly, its enough for me to see someone trying and struggling but continuing despite not feeling like it. Its like a capsule that I can return to when I don't feel like doing something and see.....man, she went through that entire box and I'm still sitting here. I didn't really expect it to get into organization too much but its a cool area to move into if you need idea of what to do. I'm gonna watch it regardless. In my mind (and this is not intended to be shade), I thought something like this series would have multiple seasons over the years and each time, they'd get shorter and shorter as you get further on your journey managing depression. We love your honesty and content and you don't owe us anything but we appreciate you!

      I JUST GUFFAWWWEDDDD! Not the baby going to school with the Depression Nest theme song. LMAOOOOO! So that's actually a good idea, like after I've kept everything I'm going to keep, have someone help me put it together in a way that makes sense. I like that idea. Before, I've hired people to help me do the decluttering part and it was still me doing everything because they don't know where things go. LOL. I def like your idea better! Thank you!

    The stuff being laid out in your space day in day out will affect your mental. It needs to leave the space.
    I emptied out my closet and bedroom and it affected me and makes everything harder. Even if you drop off 2-3 donation bags at a time it changes the energy for the better. The soooner you donate vs sell will make it go faster and you will avoid further making it harder on your emotional health.

    It’s funny…last night I was wondering what happened to last weeks episode….i really have to start unsubscribing to a lot of the channels that I no longer have interest in because I tend to miss the uploads of the ones I look fwd to. Sorry to hear that u had someone walk out on you, especially when you’re making an effort to get to a better place. You not wanting to do anything is normal…you’ll have good days and bad days and you don’t have to apologize to us for not being in good spirits…your show is called “Depression Nest” not “Happy Haven” Also ppl who don’t understand depression or have not gone thru what you’ve been thru will see certain things differently… this process is to go at your pace no one else’s. Ppl need to be mindful of certain things but unfortunately sometimes they’re not or have no clue. One day at a time… u can do this. ❤️
