Actually I feel like you nowadays, I lost interest on things that I used to like a lot and I don't know. This video is really important for me because now I realize that there's more people that is feeling like me and that I'm not the only one, because feeling like this usually made me feel like I was worth nothing. Thank you Jem ♡
I had never had a passion. I just was trying all my life new things and never being consistent with any. I compared myself to my friends during 2 of my worst years, because I thought I was ugly, I did not have a good style, etc. When people say this quarentine is the worst thing that could happen, I disagree. Finally I have time to think about myself and re-evaluate my thoughts. I have now started to love myself and doing what I think I like. And everyone should do it. Don't stress about a bad day, there are 365 in a year. I am sure not every day will be that bad :,) Love yourself because if you don't, anyone will repleace that type of love. Do what you want, dance, sing, scream, run, just do it. And fuck people who think you are worthless or talk bad about you. wowowowo that was sentimental
It's actually crazy how much I can relate to this.. :O Everything you said in the first paragraph is what I have been struggling with for a good while now. Unfortunately, I cannot resignate with the second part of your comment (yet) but this video and you have inspired me to try and get on a road that grows flowers instead of the boring paved one I'm on. (It would've been great if that metaphor was by me but I gotta give credits to Vincent van Gogh :P) I love what you said about the 365 days a year and overall I found your comment very inspiring. I am glad you are discovering your road of flowers and I wish the best for you and the things you're currently doing, thank u for having taken the time to write this :) (rereading my comment, this sounds awfully cheesy but hey, it's 3am and I'm freshly inspired soo..)
THIS , it's wonky and privileged of me to say this but i am actually weirdly anxious when things get back to normal and life begins moving like it used to again. I used to feel left out of the race but now i ave come into acceptance
every year i always say, “i wont let me be like that” “im gonna change my ways” “im not about that anymore” but i end up having to repeat these things and its like a loop, i keep gravitating to these really bad black holes and i end up being so deep into these bad things i even start shoving people who are dear to me. I become toxic and its crazy bc i didnt think i would be. The power of ur thoughts and emotions are greater than anything, with no sense of reflection, it keeps spiraling and thats me lol
I can relate too much... And everytime I fell into a rut, it feels like it's getting harder and harder to get back up and I'm getting farther and farther to the people who cares about me.
funny how I've cried all day today because I'm so, so exhausted with and tired of my life and depression, and UA-cam recommends this video to me. this is a sign. time to finally get happy, I guess.
I’ve been dealing with depression for about a year now and it’s already pretty hard but it’s also making it hard for me to control my ED thoughts, even if I’m weight restored. University has been and is hell on earth for me and Covid19 didn’t make it any better. I clicked so fast when I saw the notification because seeing someone who I’ve followed and grown with and inspired by for the past 4 years saying how she feels vulnerable too made me see how not alone I am in this. Thank you for this, seriously 💜
She is amazing right? I also have depression and her videos is inspiring. This video and your comment just reforces the idea that I am not alone, we are not alone. Depression mixed with covid is horrible, it seems like the certain things that we knew about the future is erased away.... Well, if you need someone to talk, I am here :) obviously I am not her, but you are being listened, you are not alone.
I am also dealing with depression and anxiety for around two years and I am going to stop taking meds in two weeks. I feel that I am getting better as I change my view of things and that kind of works. I was too stress all the time as I was controlled by my super-ego (like what my parent taught me when I was little which may or may not be correct ). The way of recovering is super hard as I live in Hong Kong and there are too many things to care about apart from the Wuhan coronavirus. The virus is scary but it can be not as scary when we stay home ( and stay calm), wear a mask when we are out and constantly wash our hands ( or wear gloves).
Sodium I also feel like the things that my parents taught or didn’t taught me when I was little, affects a lot of who I am today.... but in the same way, we can’t change the past right?? So how is going in Hong Kong??
I get this completely, being isolated/quarantined has caused me to be on my phone ALL THE TIME. I’ve lost multiple friends because of this aswell. I’ve lost interest in many things I was in love with and I had major depression last year. I want to go out, I want to hang with people. I don’t want I be on the internet,sleeping and eating all the time. It’s unhealthy and overwhelming.
I can relate so much, I've been in a slump for the longest time every since quarantine, it really does give you so much time to think. It's like an everlasting seasonal depression. Things will just never be the same and we just have to accept and deal with what's going on and power through. Although things may not change around us, we can change our selves by powering through. It takes time, and eventually, we will get back on track and hope for the best. Thanks for helping us or at least me be more motivated and back up again. Those countless nights where I don't sleep could have been used for something else and not crying my eyes out to sad music. Stay safe and healthy, Jem! (Also ty for listening to my TedTalk)
I'm going the same thing right now and I'm literally just a teenager like why do I care about my future job, i LITERALLY have no dream, I don't wanna be a teacher, doctor, pilot, lawyer. nothing. I don't wanna exist in life, I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so helpless 😵
You see, I want to do something to get my life back together, but I am so scared and I keep doubting myself and my thoughts of "you'll do it tomorrow" just keep winning over what my body needs and what my heart wants and I've been hiding it for SO long. That wanting is overshadowed by the thoughts and later I end up watching these productive videos because my brain thinks that while watching someone else be productive, I am satisfying that wanting even though I am not the one taking action. To those who feel the same, we'll somehow get through this. I believe in us so let's not give up, the both of us.
i really relate to that routine... and the sad thing is i've been doing it for MONTHS and haven't been able to break out of it and i feel like i can't since people around me restrict it (i can't wake up early since i'll wake up the whole house), nor can i be really productive cuz its so darn noisy all the time and people around me do different things at different times and AAAARGHHHH my heads going to explode
*This was the most useful/insightful/enjoyable/inspiring 18mins i spent online.* This level of self-actualisation is really beautiful to see. Thank you sm for sharing this with us Jasmine, you have no idea how much this helps me
28 year old here. Age is just a number when it comes to "having everything together". I had the same struggles and cycles during the quarantine and can't say that I got over them completely, but I am progressing. Quarantine is affecting a lot of people psychologically and thanks to people sharing experiences/solutions like you others feel helped to stand up. Your subscribers will be here to know what you are going through, cheers
I can relate to this so much. It’s been really hard to find myself inspired again since I’ve been dealing with a lot of feelings that I have suppressed for a lot of time. Especially now during quarantine that I have too much time to think, more like overthink. This inspired me to try again and get up. All I’ve been doing is watching UA-cam, Netflix and do some homework. I used to post videos on UA-cam but I got too lazy and felt they weren’t good enough but I feel inspired to try again. I feel inspired to try again in my everyday routine. I’ll definitely read the book you recommended. Thank you for this 🧡
I think everyone’s creativity and self worth is taking a hit during this time. And it sets you up to look much deeper within yourself, and it seems like you have done just that. I like your approach of how to handle those highs and lows of being creative. Just always remember there is always something good on the horizon. As my favorite UA-camr would say “Take Care”💕
I’ve been watching you for a couple years now, and you’ve been my biggest source of motivation and inspiration for a while. Seeing you speak up about your mental state, and opening up about how you’ve been in this cycle really shows that everyone is human with complex feelings. Thank you for sharing this w/ us, it’s really comforting and I’m glad you were able to reach out and get out of a difficult mental cycle.
one thing I recommend is disconnecting from social media. Ever since quarantine I had been on instagram so much that the days would pass by so quickly. I’ve encountered toxic users, found out some of my internet friends were toxic and led me to overthinking so much and being sad all the time. I realized during that time that I have never cried so much. I decided to put a timer to see how long I can stay off of instagram and it’s been great, I feel refreshed and I’m actually productive. I highly recommend it if you were in the same position as me
It's good to know I'm not the only one feeling like this, and even better to know I won't feel like this forever at least not if I do something about it. Thank you.
I’m so glad that instead of hiding and pretending that you were okay, you owned up to it and overcame it. Also I just wanted to say your voice is so sweet and calming 🥺❤️ AND WE HAVE THE SAME PHONE CASE
I just found your account, and I have immediately fallen in love with it. All your videos are so calming, and they remind me so much of a Wes Anderson film. thank you for this ;3
I LOVE the way you convey your emotions throughout ur whole video. Emotions are a beautiful thing. No matter if ur happy or sad, it still feels good to feel them. Keep it up! 👏👏👍👍
i’ve been in a slump for what seems like the longest time... i decided to look on youtube again and saw this video! i remember i used to watch your videos all the time, and this one really helped me thank u
wooow the universe works so perfectly. in one week i start my final exams that determine if i get into uni or not and i have to revise (or learn) sooo much and generaly i've been trying to work really hard but due to some problems it wasn't always going the way that i wanted and planned but two days ago i had pretty big break down and couldn't pick myself up and work and now i found this video or rather this video found me and i feel so much better and stronger! you always hear that you have to have defined goal and stuff but most of the time u forget and you saying about original purpose just opened my eyes about what i have to do so THANK YOU
honestly, although i had a hard time in the first weeks of quarantine, i gotta thank it for making me go back to two things i treasured and let go two years ago... reading and writing! i went back to reading books, picking the titles i always wanted to read back then but always postponed, and i picked up my old random notes and worked on them yet again... guess to me it worked in reverse, it made me enjoy things again... thank you for making this video jem, i love seeing you get back on your feet
From the bottom of my heart thank you. I am a med student and have been down for the past two months, procastinated soo much,and I kept avoiding the truth like you said. This video was god sent tonight, exactly what I needed. Ill be updating every single day and sharing my day, I have a good 3 weeks left till exams and Ill make it.
Your videos have gotten me through the toughest years in my life where I lacked inspiration and lost passion in everything--art, writing, studying. Your content Jem got me back on my feet. Calmed me, made me get off my bed and under my covers and get to work. That's how impactful you've been. And today, literally this video was what I needed and it just made me sad to see you like this but also, I'm so glad you've been so truthful about all this. It takes so much to speak about mental health, i hope you find your way back. I hope you're healthy and happy. And I know you can do it, because you're a wonderful and talented person. Take care.
hope you're feeling better jasmine!!i know it's actually so hard to face problems while quarantine.you can run away when u don't have time but when it's quaratine,you can't run.hope everyone that is feeling bad ab yourself is getting better.sending all love to y'all.
My schedule has definitely fallen into this as well. Also this is one of the best videos you've ever made. The editing, the lighting, the feel is amazing.
I really needed to watch this video today because I definitely have been going through the same thing for weeks now. The biggest slap in the face was my phone telling me my screen time had increased by 80% from the previous week. Not something I'm proud of it. It's Sunday and I've sat myself down to really re-evaluate what it is that I want from myself. Thank you so much for being so open and honest and for sharing what can be helpful!
Dude the editing on this was legit AMAZING. I hope you know how much we appreciate your content and your insights. I just started watching your content today but wow your content resonates with me SO MUCH. Even if you may not feel like it, you're a shining light for me rn and it's crazy we get to see your content practically for free. Much love to you, and i hope you're doing better now!
I have subscribed to so many youtubers that give off the same vibe as your content. I try my best to be productive as much as I can but it only lasts for a day, I’m so glad you created this video because I really need help staying productive and sort of “getting my life bck” for the very next day when I feel sluggish.
this is me... this is literally me except for the part that 'I got myself back'... the fact that this resonates with my image scares me. I also took a year gap and since my exams are postponed I literally have lost interest which I legit cannot afford to! I need to get myself and my priorities back on track...
ahh Jem you’re such a queen and i love your videos so much!! 🥰 you’re so aesthetic and amazing and i wish my channel was as amazing as yours 💖 don’t forget we’re always here for you
Hi , I just subscribe to your channel because you had 339 subscribe and I just want to make someone happy I hope you are. Keep it up , 400! Subscribes 😍
ma'am the CINEMATOGRAPHY is amazing. you truly have the biggest, wrinkliest brain 😤your videos and streams are what kept me going and sane when my depression was at its worst. i'm glad you're doing better now and thank you for everything you do ily (,,:
this video literally showed how I was been the past few weeks and it's quite rough pulling yourself to be productive or maybe create something that u usually love. I hope you're doing okay now and thanks for sharing some tips 💗 literally love how this vid shows how some of us are feeling right now.
to be honest, i feel similar in a way that you've mentioned. ive been letting myself down for a couple of years and i realized from the past 3 months on how much i mislead myself into consuming, procrastinating and ignoring my issues and my passions. its a hard road to start becoming better than who i used to be but i remind myself to not be scared to take that initial step. even sometimes failing miserably at it is what will help me in the long run. good luck on your journey and everyone else's.
glad you got better, helped me realized to rethink about my messed up youtube career, i wanted to make some stupid dumb content but ended up making online tutorials, it sucks but at least i reflect upon it now
This video was so needed. This has helped us in opening up to ourselves and others and face ourselves. This was much needed. Thank you for creating this.
Thank you, this video helped me to finally express my feelings to my family and friends. I never opened up about my depression and anxiety, but you opened my eyes and I realized, that I need to talk with somebody and have to starting making changes in my life. For this, thank you so much! You mean so much to me!
It’s so coincidental how you are my favorite youtuber, and we almost have the same glasses and above all else, i am also going through what you’re going through ☹️ School is going to start by august 24 and i felt like i still haven’t found myself yet. Idk which college course to take or whatever. I find it really difficult because i don't basically have a passion or i lost all of my passion because my dad was never really supportive in the things i do in my life and i live separately with my mom (the only person who understands me and supports me) because they are separated. It's been weighing up on me for a year and i have really been unproductive because i am just finding ways not to think about this but now i feel like i have a deadline again. That is why i am lowkey kind of thankful for the pandemic because it's given people like me opportunity to pause and rethink about life goals. Also these past few months I had body dysmorphia which took a lot of my time which again switched my priorities in life because i was never happy about my body and i felt fat, and I also had some idk depression? because i would cry every night thinking about how i wasted an opportunity to go to my mom before the lockdown happened because staying here with my dad (with this scorching heat because i live in the Philippines and our weather temp. often reach 104F here and i'm just using a fan because my dad doesn't want to put my room an ac) is making my life more difficult knowing he's not really supportive in the things i do and he shouts to the whole neighborhood how i stopped going to school just to lurk around or idk he keeps hauling insults towards me how i took a year off from college and it's making my mental health really unstable, I also can't go to my mom because travels can't be done due to lockdowns, and also because my dad would get really mad and probably stop giving me financial aid since we rely on him to get quality education since my mom doesn't earn as much as my dad which explains why i'm with my dad. He will also embarrass me to his siblings (my aunt and uncle) and talk shit about me if ever i was to go with my mom, so i really don't have much choice. That's why when youtube recommended me your channel it has helped me a lot (i actually cried watching this documentary because it's the exact same thing i am going through) and when it notified me that your vid was up again it was also kinda like a sign from the universe that i have to get my shit together this june or i'll be damned again and be like depressed again. sorry for rambling i know no one cares but it's just that i really have no one to turn to since i really don't have friends and if probably i open up to them they probably don't care or i just don't want to be burden to them so yeah.
yeah, i totally get what you mean about being somewhat grateful for the pandemic because it gives us time to really think our decisions through. please don’t give up on trying to be happier and better, and always remember that this is not permanent. one day, you will be happy and with the people you love, you just need to get through this bump in the road. ❤️
You are so beautiful to hear. It’s really rare to see youtubers like you out there. There something in the way you talk that is comforting. Thank you for creating this content.
the beginning of this video truly made me cry for you and resonating with the questioning self-worth and my own abilities. but hopefully listening to this helps me make my way to getting my own life back together. and i think i'm speaking for all of us watching right now but you're amazing at what you do and we can really see you work so hard, but you're human :) good luck jem!!
This is really important because sometimes when you realize that you've been feeling like this, you want to ignore it and put your head in the sand. When it happens to me I try to disctract myself from what scares me. I do art and for the last few days I haven't been able to make anything. So instead I cleaned my appartment, did some knitting, watched some videos, and just tried to take my time and not stress myself out too much. Quarantine was easy because I wasn't alone, but now it's the summer holidays and I'm alone most of the day and it doesn't really help because there's no one around to tell me I've been on my phone for way too long.
i didnt know how much i needed this video. this was like looking in a mirror and having it speak to me and spell things out and verbalize my own thoughts and feelings and put it in a form that i would comprehend.
You are the bravest girl I have ever seen. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to have unproductive days. It’s ok to get sad. That is a phase. I am glad and super happy that you made effort to change this. You will get back on track. There is always light at the end of your path. Sweetheart, just to let you know, I am always here for you, to support you. Good Luck, stay safe and I love you! 💓😘
I’m growing through the same phase when depression hits you, but you actually make small changes step by step, you’ll be closer to your goals and success.
Thank you so much for making this video Jem. It was really refreshing to find a productivity channel as amazing as yours be so transparent about how staying on course with that can still be a struggle for productivity youtubers like you who always seem to have their life together. This video gave me some advice on how to steer my own life back to a productive course and in a way watching it didn't feel like a condemnation towards my very unproductive life the way other channels as amazing and inspiring as they are did. Thank you so much for making this again!
literally can’t sleep and it’s almost 2:30am here in the 🇵🇭. i’ve been wondering why you didn’t upload a video last couple of days and it made me kind of constantly checking on your channel to see if u have a latest upload & also on your ig stories and tweets. i’m really happy when i opened my youtube app today and saw this new upload. i just want to say that, jem, you inspire me, to be honest i just started a yt channel and had already two videos uploaded since last week and that’s bc you inspire me of your videos 🥺. you are one of my fave youtuber! thank you for being an inspiration!! it’s okay to feel what you’ve been feeling. 🤍
love you jem. you truly captured the same exact feeling, or rather lack of, that described parts of my life as well. i relate to you a lot, and i learned lots from this video which inspired me to go write something about these lessons :)
thank you so much for making this video! quarantine has been making me lose interest in so many things and has been making me feel so lonely. reading the comments and watching this makes me feel less alone and is inspiring me to work on myself more (:
I relate so much to this, oh god. Since I can remember, I have always wanted to change and have a better lifestyle. I remember that I read one time something like "the life you have is the life you work for", meaning that you have to do things for you in order to make your life better or worse, you decide. It just scared me the thought of what my lifestyle would look like in 10 years from now on, 5 years, or even a year. I really want to put my life together, but I feel like if I try, I would always end up in the same place..
I relate so much. I haven't been myself for so long, I spent so much time crying yesterday and sometimes I don't even know why... I even lost my passion for hobbies I used to enjoy. i feel like quarantine is affecting a lot of us collectively, at least we have each other
i've been here since the beginning and looking at you grow as a creator has been one of the sweetest and purest things ever, it just shows that you're a human too and people sometimes forget that and start to associate you like everything in your life is perfect just for what you have and do, when is totally not like that, looking at you talk openly like this really makes me realize im not alone when it comes to this kind of thoughts. i took a year off as you, to figure out myself, what i wanted, who i was and what i wanted to be, that year it really made me realize there's no time enough to know who you are and how you want things to do, is a work in progress and you have to keep up with it all the time just trying to do your best and sometimes we have our highs and lows, but that's what is about, not trying to lose outselves. You will do okay sweetie and as you still here, you're doing amazing and im always in love with everything you put up for us, love you💗🦋🌈🌟
i completely understand how you feel. i was in a rut like that for the longest time. i didn't feel any joy from doing anything, everything felt the same. the days blended into eachother. nothing shined how it used to. but ever since i started redoing my room, making it a brighter and happier place, things started to shine again. i started communicating with my friends again, i started trying to improve. again. i am stuck in ruts like that from time to time, and sometimes i don't even know why. like right now. this morning i was going fine but now im not too sure. and i don't know why. but i know things will improve one day. it's all a matter of time.
Hi Jem - It takes courage to share your personal story to anyone outside of yourself. I am sure your story is resonating with many of your audience and will bring them comfort to know they are not alone. We underestimate the power of storytelling and it's ability to connect people with each other. Life has many highs and many lows, we need to be honest, kind and loving to ourselves, to seek help when needed and ultimately know it is okay to not be okay. It is a process and we should focus on taking one step at a time and do what is right for you - no comparison with others allowed x :-) Well done on doing what you needed to for yourself x
I've never had a video hit home like this.. i took an year off and all the things in your routine reflect EXACTLY what ive been doing.. i need a change
I love the way you edited the intro and how it reflects your state of mind. I'm also stuck in a rut as well, and it's horrible since I'm avoiding a lot of my responsibilities and spending less time with my friends and family because I just feel so demotivated and unhappy all the time. This video has helped me to at least rethink about my current situation right now, and the steps that I can take towards fixing it. Thank you for being honest about yourself because I know how hard it can be. I will support you in your journey towards growth ^^
I really needed this. Recently I have been feeling really bad and comparing myself to my sister. She is moving out for university soon and she’s been talking a lot about her plans and just overall things about her life. She has a boyfriend, I have never had a boyfriend, kissed a boy, or had a guy have a crush on me. She’s has an average of 97%, and I have been struggling with the stress of school work. She hangs out with her friends all the time and I haven’t seen my friends in almost a year now. I could lie and say that it’s because of covid, but my friend group and never really hung out before. I can’t even say I have a best friend. She has been talking about how she feels so happy and can’t wait to “start her new life” at uni and I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. I realized I started making jokes about crying and being sad around my family as a cry for help and it’s become a reoccurring joke. For example “I only cried 4 times this week...hahaha”. I realized that the only person who can really be there for me all the time is myself. I need to work on my bad habit of comparing myself to my sister and others and start taking better care of myself. This video has helped inspire me and helped guide me in the right direction. I hope that anyone who sees this is able to develop healthy habits and take care of themselves.
This video is so helpful. I've been going through a tough time recently, when I feel like none of my other friends have. Especially when you were talking about how people comment on how you always seem so put together, but you don't feel put together ... I relate to that so much. Your vunerability has helped me realize I'm not alone. Thank you! We'll both get through this :) 💕
This video is probably one of the best i've ever watched here on youtube. U girl don't even know how much ur videos, the sound of ur voice and just watching u actually make me feel better. I'm so sorry u went through all this stuff but if it can help i'm telling u that i can see the passion u have inside. i love u so much
you know what, you're very brave person to make this video, let people know how you genuinely feel. most people only show what's superficial, i think everyone wanna show the only good side. but by showing this, we're actually not less like a person... I'm glad you're making this, I'm sure we can get over this together :")
I can really tell how passionate u are about your videos and editing, I felt like watching a movie here, keep up the good work!! im currently re-watching all of ur vids btw hehe
The UA-cam algorithm seems to have figured out that I'm also been in a rut and recommended me this video of yours out of nowhere, but I'm glad I discovered this. This is exactly how I've felt for the last couple of months since the lockdown where I live began and honestly I didn't even know what was going on most of the time. Some days pass by painfully slowly while others just disappear like they never happened. Thanks for making this video, it's help me to understand what I've been going through a lot better and hopefully I can make adjustments to my own routine now :)
i wish i had seen this sooner damn - i think this is actually exactly what i needed to see. thank you so much for creating this video! until i saw this, i didn't actually realize how much overthinking and self-doubting i've been doing since being so alone with my thoughts. and the part about creating videos because of your love for it really made me refocus as well on my own video creating, journalling, etc. i forget that i do my hobbies simply because i like to! so thank you so so much for helping me re-evaluate that
I've never watched any of your videos before, this just popped up in my recommendations and I'm so grateful it did. I really needed this advice. The way you portrayed your message was beautiful, your editing and cinematography is 10/10
Jem, you're so amazing for sharing this with us, with the world. this video just made me think about what I've been doing with my passions and myself. I really really wish I could hug you. thank you for this.
I been suffering from depression anxiety for 6 years I keep trying to get out of it but I keep failing but I am gonna keep trying Bts has helped me give some happiness and I am still learning to love Myself I hope I get there 💜❤️
when I clicked on the video on which apps u used for school, I would not have thought that u would be one of my biggest inspirations. Your videos gave me peace and joy in days where I was not having it at all. You helped me so much in summer 2018 without realising it. Your channel is the only one that matters to me on yt. ♥️
Human beings get tired, it is ok to be lazy and it is ok to be productive. Resting, watching Netflix and youtube can be seen as productive as you are gathering energy for your future self. I got depression and anxiety in 2018( my final year of secondary) and there are many times that I felt useless when the rest of the world was working super hard for the public exam when I was basically having a long holiday as I have to sleep 16-18 a day that I felt ok. I was a very productive kid before I was diagnosed that I basically worked 16-18 hours a day that I burnt out and now I learn we can never be too "lazy" or too " productive", we are human beings and needing a break is normal, every day being alive should not be seen as your last, be kind to yourself. Sometimes, the most important thing is how you see your self ( aka your self-image) and how you develop your self-esteem. You can do most of you can and that is enough. Best of luck, we will always be here for you.
thank u guys for always being here. love u :)
Hey love you too❤
Love you to jem ❤️💜♥️
Love you 2 baby
Of course queen 👑 ❤️😌💅
We love you too Jem
omg this is a full-on documentary this is AMAZING
True.
do you know her insta? 😅
@@Marie-rc2jc its in the description box....
Actually I feel like you nowadays, I lost interest on things that I used to like a lot and I don't know. This video is really important for me because now I realize that there's more people that is feeling like me and that I'm not the only one, because feeling like this usually made me feel like I was worth nothing. Thank you Jem ♡
I agree with you completely
Same, I haven’t played any of my instruments in 4 months and haven’t finished a full drawing since October 2019
I had never had a passion. I just was trying all my life new things and never being consistent with any. I compared myself to my friends during 2 of my worst years, because I thought I was ugly, I did not have a good style, etc.
When people say this quarentine is the worst thing that could happen, I disagree.
Finally I have time to think about myself and re-evaluate my thoughts. I have now started to love myself and doing what I think I like.
And everyone should do it.
Don't stress about a bad day, there are 365 in a year. I am sure not every day will be that bad :,)
Love yourself because if you don't, anyone will repleace that type of love.
Do what you want, dance, sing, scream, run, just do it.
And fuck people who think you are worthless or talk bad about you.
wowowowo that was sentimental
It's actually crazy how much I can relate to this.. :O Everything you said in the first paragraph is what I have been struggling with for a good while now.
Unfortunately, I cannot resignate with the second part of your comment (yet) but this video and you have inspired me to try and get on a road that grows flowers instead of the boring paved one I'm on. (It would've been great if that metaphor was by me but I gotta give credits to Vincent van Gogh :P)
I love what you said about the 365 days a year and overall I found your comment very inspiring. I am glad you are discovering your road of flowers and I wish the best for you and the things you're currently doing, thank u for having taken the time to write this :)
(rereading my comment, this sounds awfully cheesy but hey, it's 3am and I'm freshly inspired soo..)
THIS , it's wonky and privileged of me to say this but i am actually weirdly anxious when things get back to normal and life begins moving like it used to again. I used to feel left out of the race but now i ave come into acceptance
I can relate :')
same here
at the same time, I think we should be aware and thankful that we have this privilege of saying that quarantine wasn't all that bad.
every year i always say, “i wont let me be like that” “im gonna change my ways” “im not about that anymore” but i end up having to repeat these things and its like a loop, i keep gravitating to these really bad black holes and i end up being so deep into these bad things i even start shoving people who are dear to me. I become toxic and its crazy bc i didnt think i would be. The power of ur thoughts and emotions are greater than anything, with no sense of reflection, it keeps spiraling and thats me lol
it sucks when not everyone is privilege to heal themselves first :(
omg me too, I push people who are close to me away
I hope you're doing better!! I recommend a book called, "A Philosopher's Notes."
Damn it same here, this thing has been going on for years
I can relate too much... And everytime I fell into a rut, it feels like it's getting harder and harder to get back up and I'm getting farther and farther to the people who cares about me.
the cinematography in this is brilliant
I don't think I've ever related to any video this much in my life. Thanks SO much for being so honest and sharing this! Much love!
funny how I've cried all day today because I'm so, so exhausted with and tired of my life and depression, and UA-cam recommends this video to me. this is a sign. time to finally get happy, I guess.
I’ve been dealing with depression for about a year now and it’s already pretty hard but it’s also making it hard for me to control my ED thoughts, even if I’m weight restored. University has been and is hell on earth for me and Covid19 didn’t make it any better.
I clicked so fast when I saw the notification because seeing someone who I’ve followed and grown with and inspired by for the past 4 years saying how she feels vulnerable too made me see how not alone I am in this.
Thank you for this, seriously 💜
She is amazing right? I also have depression and her videos is inspiring. This video and your comment just reforces the idea that I am not alone, we are not alone. Depression mixed with covid is horrible, it seems like the certain things that we knew about the future is erased away.... Well, if you need someone to talk, I am here :) obviously I am not her, but you are being listened, you are not alone.
Letícia yumi you’re the sweetest 🥺💜 I hope you’re doing alright and safe. Let’s keep fighting this ! 💜💜
I am also dealing with depression and anxiety for around two years and I am going to stop taking meds in two weeks. I feel that I am getting better as I change my view of things and that kind of works. I was too stress all the time as I was controlled by my super-ego (like what my parent taught me when I was little which may or may not be correct ). The way of recovering is super hard as I live in Hong Kong and there are too many things to care about apart from the Wuhan coronavirus. The virus is scary but it can be not as scary when we stay home ( and stay calm), wear a mask when we are out and constantly wash our hands ( or wear gloves).
ungii you too💞
Sodium I also feel like the things that my parents taught or didn’t taught me when I was little, affects a lot of who I am today.... but in the same way, we can’t change the past right?? So how is going in Hong Kong??
i hope you're doing okay my love
I get this completely, being isolated/quarantined has caused me to be on my phone ALL THE TIME. I’ve lost multiple friends because of this aswell. I’ve lost interest in many things I was in love with and I had major depression last year. I want to go out, I want to hang with people. I don’t want I be on the internet,sleeping and eating all the time. It’s unhealthy and overwhelming.
i can't omg this editing is actual goals
I can relate so much, I've been in a slump for the longest time every since quarantine, it really does give you so much time to think. It's like an everlasting seasonal depression. Things will just never be the same and we just have to accept and deal with what's going on and power through. Although things may not change around us, we can change our selves by powering through. It takes time, and eventually, we will get back on track and hope for the best. Thanks for helping us or at least me be more motivated and back up again. Those countless nights where I don't sleep could have been used for something else and not crying my eyes out to sad music. Stay safe and healthy, Jem!
(Also ty for listening to my TedTalk)
Are we soulmates??? Lmao. But this is EXACTLY the feelings i have been feeling! But i just couldn't put them into words. Ty!
@@user-pl6bc4pr8k HAHAH i think we might as well be, but corona please be over!
I'm going the same thing right now and I'm literally just a teenager like why do I care about my future job, i LITERALLY have no dream, I don't wanna be a teacher, doctor, pilot, lawyer. nothing. I don't wanna exist in life, I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so helpless 😵
Just hang in there. Persevere. Things will get better. Be hopeful. Don't give up. It will get better. I give you my word.
Honestly I feel u. But I just keep saying to myself to just go with the flow and that time heals everything
Thank you for this video
You see, I want to do something to get my life back together, but I am so scared and I keep doubting myself and my thoughts of "you'll do it tomorrow" just keep winning over what my body needs and what my heart wants and I've been hiding it for SO long. That wanting is overshadowed by the thoughts and later I end up watching these productive videos because my brain thinks that while watching someone else be productive, I am satisfying that wanting even though I am not the one taking action.
To those who feel the same, we'll somehow get through this. I believe in us so let's not give up, the both of us.
i really relate to that routine... and the sad thing is i've been doing it for MONTHS and haven't been able to break out of it and i feel like i can't since people around me restrict it (i can't wake up early since i'll wake up the whole house), nor can i be really productive cuz its so darn noisy all the time and people around me do different things at different times and AAAARGHHHH my heads going to explode
oh my :( my routine is;
-> wake up
-> eat if i feel like it
-> lay in bed
-> sleep
aand repeat
6:35 “I just feel like everything is falling apart”
never been so relatable to something
This is gonna help me so much bc I’m going thru a pretty tough time right now . Thank you for helping me jem🙂
*This was the most useful/insightful/enjoyable/inspiring 18mins i spent online.*
This level of self-actualisation is really beautiful to see. Thank you sm for sharing this with us Jasmine, you have no idea how much this helps me
28 year old here. Age is just a number when it comes to "having everything together". I had the same struggles and cycles during the quarantine and can't say that I got over them completely, but I am progressing. Quarantine is affecting a lot of people psychologically and thanks to people sharing experiences/solutions like you others feel helped to stand up. Your subscribers will be here to know what you are going through, cheers
I can relate to this so much. It’s been really hard to find myself inspired again since I’ve been dealing with a lot of feelings that I have suppressed for a lot of time. Especially now during quarantine that I have too much time to think, more like overthink. This inspired me to try again and get up. All I’ve been doing is watching UA-cam, Netflix and do some homework. I used to post videos on UA-cam but I got too lazy and felt they weren’t good enough but I feel inspired to try again. I feel inspired to try again in my everyday routine. I’ll definitely read the book you recommended. Thank you for this 🧡
I think everyone’s creativity and self worth is taking a hit during this time. And it sets you up to look much deeper within yourself, and it seems like you have done just that. I like your approach of how to handle those highs and lows of being creative. Just always remember there is always something good on the horizon. As my favorite UA-camr would say “Take Care”💕
I am Genuinely glad this video came out
I’ve been watching you for a couple years now, and you’ve been my biggest source of motivation and inspiration for a while. Seeing you speak up about your mental state, and opening up about how you’ve been in this cycle really shows that everyone is human with complex feelings. Thank you for sharing this w/ us, it’s really comforting and I’m glad you were able to reach out and get out of a difficult mental cycle.
This is my life but I’m almost 30 😭 hang in there girl u got this
you got this too 💗
one thing I recommend is disconnecting from social media. Ever since quarantine I had been on instagram so much that the days would pass by so quickly. I’ve encountered toxic users, found out some of my internet friends were toxic and led me to overthinking so much and being sad all the time. I realized during that time that I have never cried so much. I decided to put a timer to see how long I can stay off of instagram and it’s been great, I feel refreshed and I’m actually productive. I highly recommend it if you were in the same position as me
It's good to know I'm not the only one feeling like this, and even better to know I won't feel like this forever at least not if I do something about it. Thank you.
I’m so glad that instead of hiding and pretending that you were okay, you owned up to it and overcame it. Also I just wanted to say your voice is so sweet and calming 🥺❤️ AND WE HAVE THE SAME PHONE CASE
I just found your account, and I have immediately fallen in love with it. All your videos are so calming, and they remind me so much of a Wes Anderson film. thank you for this ;3
I LOVE the way you convey your emotions throughout ur whole video. Emotions are a beautiful thing. No matter if ur happy or sad, it still feels good to feel them. Keep it up! 👏👏👍👍
thank u so much!!
This is such an important video! Thank you for speaking about not feeling fine!
this really got me back on track.. I'm so thankful for this
im glad the video was able to help you out!! :)
i’ve been in a slump for what seems like the longest time... i decided to look on youtube again and saw this video! i remember i used to watch your videos all the time, and this one really helped me thank u
wooow the universe works so perfectly. in one week i start my final exams that determine if i get into uni or not and i have to revise (or learn) sooo much and generaly i've been trying to work really hard but due to some problems it wasn't always going the way that i wanted and planned but two days ago i had pretty big break down and couldn't pick myself up and work and now i found this video or rather this video found me and i feel so much better and stronger! you always hear that you have to have defined goal and stuff but most of the time u forget and you saying about original purpose just opened my eyes about what i have to do so THANK YOU
honestly, although i had a hard time in the first weeks of quarantine, i gotta thank it for making me go back to two things i treasured and let go two years ago... reading and writing! i went back to reading books, picking the titles i always wanted to read back then but always postponed, and i picked up my old random notes and worked on them yet again... guess to me it worked in reverse, it made me enjoy things again... thank you for making this video jem, i love seeing you get back on your feet
From the bottom of my heart thank you.
I am a med student and have been down for the past two months, procastinated soo much,and I kept avoiding the truth like you said.
This video was god sent tonight, exactly what I needed. Ill be updating every single day and sharing my day, I have a good 3 weeks left till exams and Ill make it.
Your videos have gotten me through the toughest years in my life where I lacked inspiration and lost passion in everything--art, writing, studying. Your content Jem got me back on my feet. Calmed me, made me get off my bed and under my covers and get to work. That's how impactful you've been. And today, literally this video was what I needed and it just made me sad to see you like this but also, I'm so glad you've been so truthful about all this. It takes so much to speak about mental health, i hope you find your way back. I hope you're healthy and happy. And I know you can do it, because you're a wonderful and talented person. Take care.
hope you're feeling better jasmine!!i know it's actually so hard to face problems while quarantine.you can run away when u don't have time but when it's quaratine,you can't run.hope everyone that is feeling bad ab yourself is getting better.sending all love to y'all.
My schedule has definitely fallen into this as well. Also this is one of the best videos you've ever made. The editing, the lighting, the feel is amazing.
I really needed to watch this video today because I definitely have been going through the same thing for weeks now. The biggest slap in the face was my phone telling me my screen time had increased by 80% from the previous week. Not something I'm proud of it. It's Sunday and I've sat myself down to really re-evaluate what it is that I want from myself. Thank you so much for being so open and honest and for sharing what can be helpful!
Dude the editing on this was legit AMAZING. I hope you know how much we appreciate your content and your insights. I just started watching your content today but wow your content resonates with me SO MUCH. Even if you may not feel like it, you're a shining light for me rn and it's crazy we get to see your content practically for free. Much love to you, and i hope you're doing better now!
ooh, finally early! but seriously though I cried my eyes out today because I felt I wasn't good enough... at anything.
I have subscribed to so many youtubers that give off the same vibe as your content. I try my best to be productive as much as I can but it only lasts for a day, I’m so glad you created this video because I really need help staying productive and sort of “getting my life bck” for the very next day when I feel sluggish.
this is me... this is literally me except for the part that 'I got myself back'...
the fact that this resonates with my image scares me. I also took a year gap and since my exams are postponed I literally have lost interest which I legit cannot afford to!
I need to get myself and my priorities back on track...
I really hope you did, don't let yourself down. I wish you the best. I'm currently struggling too unfortunately
i'm so thankful for people who create content like this. inspired and grateful for your vulnerability
ahh Jem you’re such a queen and i love your videos so much!! 🥰 you’re so aesthetic and amazing and i wish my channel was as amazing as yours 💖 don’t forget we’re always here for you
Hi , I just subscribe to your channel because you had 339 subscribe and I just want to make someone happy I hope you are. Keep it up , 400! Subscribes 😍
ma'am the CINEMATOGRAPHY is amazing. you truly have the biggest, wrinkliest brain 😤your videos and streams are what kept me going and sane when my depression was at its worst. i'm glad you're doing better now and thank you for everything you do ily (,,:
this video literally showed how I was been the past few weeks and it's quite rough pulling yourself to be productive or maybe create something that u usually love. I hope you're doing okay now and thanks for sharing some tips 💗 literally love how this vid shows how some of us are feeling right now.
to be honest, i feel similar in a way that you've mentioned. ive been letting myself down for a couple of years and i realized from the past 3 months on how much i mislead myself into consuming, procrastinating and ignoring my issues and my passions. its a hard road to start becoming better than who i used to be but i remind myself to not be scared to take that initial step. even sometimes failing miserably at it is what will help me in the long run. good luck on your journey and everyone else's.
glad you got better, helped me realized to rethink about my messed up youtube career,
i wanted to make some stupid dumb content but ended up making online tutorials,
it sucks but at least i reflect upon it now
This video was so needed. This has helped us in opening up to ourselves and others and face ourselves. This was much needed. Thank you for creating this.
Thank you, this video helped me to finally express my feelings to my family and friends. I never opened up about my depression and anxiety, but you opened my eyes and I realized, that I need to talk with somebody and have to starting making changes in my life. For this, thank you so much! You mean so much to me!
It’s so coincidental how you are my favorite youtuber, and we almost have the same glasses and above all else, i am also going through what you’re going through ☹️ School is going to start by august 24 and i felt like i still haven’t found myself yet. Idk which college course to take or whatever. I find it really difficult because i don't basically have a passion or i lost all of my passion because my dad was never really supportive in the things i do in my life and i live separately with my mom (the only person who understands me and supports me) because they are separated. It's been weighing up on me for a year and i have really been unproductive because i am just finding ways not to think about this but now i feel like i have a deadline again. That is why i am lowkey kind of thankful for the pandemic because it's given people like me opportunity to pause and rethink about life goals. Also these past few months I had body dysmorphia which took a lot of my time which again switched my priorities in life because i was never happy about my body and i felt fat, and I also had some idk depression? because i would cry every night thinking about how i wasted an opportunity to go to my mom before the lockdown happened because staying here with my dad (with this scorching heat because i live in the Philippines and our weather temp. often reach 104F here and i'm just using a fan because my dad doesn't want to put my room an ac) is making my life more difficult knowing he's not really supportive in the things i do and he shouts to the whole neighborhood how i stopped going to school just to lurk around or idk he keeps hauling insults towards me how i took a year off from college and it's making my mental health really unstable, I also can't go to my mom because travels can't be done due to lockdowns, and also because my dad would get really mad and probably stop giving me financial aid since we rely on him to get quality education since my mom doesn't earn as much as my dad which explains why i'm with my dad. He will also embarrass me to his siblings (my aunt and uncle) and talk shit about me if ever i was to go with my mom, so i really don't have much choice. That's why when youtube recommended me your channel it has helped me a lot (i actually cried watching this documentary because it's the exact same thing i am going through) and when it notified me that your vid was up again it was also kinda like a sign from the universe that i have to get my shit together this june or i'll be damned again and be like depressed again.
sorry for rambling i know no one cares but it's just that i really have no one to turn to since i really don't have friends and if probably i open up to them they probably don't care or i just don't want to be burden to them so yeah.
yeah, i totally get what you mean about being somewhat grateful for the pandemic because it gives us time to really think our decisions through. please don’t give up on trying to be happier and better, and always remember that this is not permanent. one day, you will be happy and with the people you love, you just need to get through this bump in the road. ❤️
SS thank you, your message really helped me 🥺💓
jem's editing is genuinely 10/10, reallyyy draws you in!
You are so beautiful to hear. It’s really rare to see youtubers like you out there. There something in the way you talk that is comforting. Thank you for creating this content.
the beginning of this video truly made me cry for you and resonating with the questioning self-worth and my own abilities. but hopefully listening to this helps me make my way to getting my own life back together. and i think i'm speaking for all of us watching right now but you're amazing at what you do and we can really see you work so hard, but you're human :) good luck jem!!
This is really important because sometimes when you realize that you've been feeling like this, you want to ignore it and put your head in the sand. When it happens to me I try to disctract myself from what scares me. I do art and for the last few days I haven't been able to make anything. So instead I cleaned my appartment, did some knitting, watched some videos, and just tried to take my time and not stress myself out too much. Quarantine was easy because I wasn't alone, but now it's the summer holidays and I'm alone most of the day and it doesn't really help because there's no one around to tell me I've been on my phone for way too long.
when i say this is exactly how i’m feeling, gosh it’s literally like someone took how i was feeling and put it into exact and perfect words. woah
i didnt know how much i needed this video. this was like looking in a mirror and having it speak to me and spell things out and verbalize my own thoughts and feelings and put it in a form that i would comprehend.
this video was touching in every way, the videography, ur words and u. sending u sm love!
You are the bravest girl I have ever seen. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to have unproductive days. It’s ok to get sad. That is a phase. I am glad and super happy that you made effort to change this. You will get back on track. There is always light at the end of your path. Sweetheart, just to let you know, I am always here for you, to support you. Good Luck, stay safe and I love you! 💓😘
I’m growing through the same phase when depression hits you, but you actually make small changes step by step, you’ll be closer to your goals and success.
Thank you so much for making this video Jem. It was really refreshing to find a productivity channel as amazing as yours be so transparent about how staying on course with that can still be a struggle for productivity youtubers like you who always seem to have their life together. This video gave me some advice on how to steer my own life back to a productive course and in a way watching it didn't feel like a condemnation towards my very unproductive life the way other channels as amazing and inspiring as they are did. Thank you so much for making this again!
literally can’t sleep and it’s almost 2:30am here in the 🇵🇭. i’ve been wondering why you didn’t upload a video last couple of days and it made me kind of constantly checking on your channel to see if u have a latest upload & also on your ig stories and tweets. i’m really happy when i opened my youtube app today and saw this new upload. i just want to say that, jem, you inspire me, to be honest i just started a yt channel and had already two videos uploaded since last week and that’s bc you inspire me of your videos 🥺. you are one of my fave youtuber! thank you for being an inspiration!! it’s okay to feel what you’ve been feeling. 🤍
love you jem. you truly captured the same exact feeling, or rather lack of, that described parts of my life as well. i relate to you a lot, and i learned lots from this video which inspired me to go write something about these lessons :)
thank you so much for making this video! quarantine has been making me lose interest in so many things and has been making me feel so lonely. reading the comments and watching this makes me feel less alone and is inspiring me to work on myself more (:
I relate so much to this, oh god. Since I can remember, I have always wanted to change and have a better lifestyle. I remember that I read one time something like "the life you have is the life you work for", meaning that you have to do things for you in order to make your life better or worse, you decide. It just scared me the thought of what my lifestyle would look like in 10 years from now on, 5 years, or even a year. I really want to put my life together, but I feel like if I try, I would always end up in the same place..
this video made me feel less alone and alienated, thank you for making such a raw and unpretentious video xx
I needed this. Thank you. 🥺
I relate so much. I haven't been myself for so long, I spent so much time crying yesterday and sometimes I don't even know why... I even lost my passion for hobbies I used to enjoy. i feel like quarantine is affecting a lot of us collectively, at least we have each other
i've been here since the beginning and looking at you grow as a creator has been one of the sweetest and purest things ever, it just shows that you're a human too and people sometimes forget that and start to associate you like everything in your life is perfect just for what you have and do, when is totally not like that, looking at you talk openly like this really makes me realize im not alone when it comes to this kind of thoughts. i took a year off as you, to figure out myself, what i wanted, who i was and what i wanted to be, that year it really made me realize there's no time enough to know who you are and how you want things to do, is a work in progress and you have to keep up with it all the time just trying to do your best and sometimes we have our highs and lows, but that's what is about, not trying to lose outselves. You will do okay sweetie and as you still here, you're doing amazing and im always in love with everything you put up for us, love you💗🦋🌈🌟
i completely understand how you feel. i was in a rut like that for the longest time. i didn't feel any joy from doing anything, everything felt the same. the days blended into eachother. nothing shined how it used to.
but ever since i started redoing my room, making it a brighter and happier place, things started to shine again. i started communicating with my friends again, i started trying to improve. again.
i am stuck in ruts like that from time to time, and sometimes i don't even know why. like right now. this morning i was going fine but now im not too sure. and i don't know why. but i know things will improve one day. it's all a matter of time.
Hi Jem - It takes courage to share your personal story to anyone outside of yourself. I am sure your story is resonating with many of your audience and will bring them comfort to know they are not alone. We underestimate the power of storytelling and it's ability to connect people with each other. Life has many highs and many lows, we need to be honest, kind and loving to ourselves, to seek help when needed and ultimately know it is okay to not be okay. It is a process and we should focus on taking one step at a time and do what is right for you - no comparison with others allowed x :-) Well done on doing what you needed to for yourself x
I've never had a video hit home like this.. i took an year off and all the things in your routine reflect EXACTLY what ive been doing.. i need a change
I love the way you edited the intro and how it reflects your state of mind. I'm also stuck in a rut as well, and it's horrible since I'm avoiding a lot of my responsibilities and spending less time with my friends and family because I just feel so demotivated and unhappy all the time. This video has helped me to at least rethink about my current situation right now, and the steps that I can take towards fixing it. Thank you for being honest about yourself because I know how hard it can be. I will support you in your journey towards growth ^^
I really needed this. Recently I have been feeling really bad and comparing myself to my sister. She is moving out for university soon and she’s been talking a lot about her plans and just overall things about her life. She has a boyfriend, I have never had a boyfriend, kissed a boy, or had a guy have a crush on me. She’s has an average of 97%, and I have been struggling with the stress of school work. She hangs out with her friends all the time and I haven’t seen my friends in almost a year now. I could lie and say that it’s because of covid, but my friend group and never really hung out before. I can’t even say I have a best friend. She has been talking about how she feels so happy and can’t wait to “start her new life” at uni and I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. I realized I started making jokes about crying and being sad around my family as a cry for help and it’s become a reoccurring joke. For example “I only cried 4 times this week...hahaha”. I realized that the only person who can really be there for me all the time is myself. I need to work on my bad habit of comparing myself to my sister and others and start taking better care of myself. This video has helped inspire me and helped guide me in the right direction. I hope that anyone who sees this is able to develop healthy habits and take care of themselves.
This video is great ! So many people go through depression, you made an amazing documentary and motivating thebrest of us ! 👏👏❤👏
im so glad to read the comments and see people who know what I'm going thru, i don't feel so alone
I grew up watching you, and I still look up to you. I'm proud of you.
This video is so helpful. I've been going through a tough time recently, when I feel like none of my other friends have. Especially when you were talking about how people comment on how you always seem so put together, but you don't feel put together ... I relate to that so much. Your vunerability has helped me realize I'm not alone. Thank you! We'll both get through this :) 💕
This video is probably one of the best i've ever watched here on youtube. U girl don't even know how much ur videos, the sound of ur voice and just watching u actually make me feel better. I'm so sorry u went through all this stuff but if it can help i'm telling u that i can see the passion u have inside. i love u so much
you know what, you're very brave person to make this video, let people know how you genuinely feel. most people only show what's superficial, i think everyone wanna show the only good side. but by showing this, we're actually not less like a person... I'm glad you're making this, I'm sure we can get over this together :")
I can really tell how passionate u are about your videos and editing, I felt like watching a movie here, keep up the good work!! im currently re-watching all of ur vids btw hehe
The UA-cam algorithm seems to have figured out that I'm also been in a rut and recommended me this video of yours out of nowhere, but I'm glad I discovered this. This is exactly how I've felt for the last couple of months since the lockdown where I live began and honestly I didn't even know what was going on most of the time. Some days pass by painfully slowly while others just disappear like they never happened. Thanks for making this video, it's help me to understand what I've been going through a lot better and hopefully I can make adjustments to my own routine now :)
i wish i had seen this sooner damn - i think this is actually exactly what i needed to see. thank you so much for creating this video! until i saw this, i didn't actually realize how much overthinking and self-doubting i've been doing since being so alone with my thoughts. and the part about creating videos because of your love for it really made me refocus as well on my own video creating, journalling, etc. i forget that i do my hobbies simply because i like to! so thank you so so much for helping me re-evaluate that
Just wanna say already that this is so well edited. The audio while you do the routine in the beginning is very very good....
I really needed this.. It's exactly what I'm going through rn
I've never watched any of your videos before, this just popped up in my recommendations and I'm so grateful it did. I really needed this advice. The way you portrayed your message was beautiful, your editing and cinematography is 10/10

Jem, you're so amazing for sharing this with us, with the world. this video just made me think about what I've been doing with my passions and myself. I really really wish I could hug you. thank you for this.

I been suffering from depression anxiety for 6 years I keep trying to get out of it but I keep failing but I am gonna keep trying Bts has helped me give some happiness and I am still learning to love Myself I hope I get there 💜❤️
when I clicked on the video on which apps u used for school, I would not have thought that u would be one of my biggest inspirations. Your videos gave me peace and joy in days where I was not having it at all. You helped me so much in summer 2018 without realising it. Your channel is the only one that matters to me on yt. ♥️
I love the story of this video . We here for you!!❤️❤️
The cinematography in this video though. True artistry.
I’ll pick up Big Magic, in desperate need of a creative boost right now.
the montage in the beginning of the video was the best representation of how i've been feeling in quarantine too
Human beings get tired, it is ok to be lazy and it is ok to be productive. Resting, watching Netflix and youtube can be seen as productive as you are gathering energy for your future self. I got depression and anxiety in 2018( my final year of secondary) and there are many times that I felt useless when the rest of the world was working super hard for the public exam when I was basically having a long holiday as I have to sleep 16-18 a day that I felt ok. I was a very productive kid before I was diagnosed that I basically worked 16-18 hours a day that I burnt out and now I learn we can never be too "lazy" or too " productive", we are human beings and needing a break is normal, every day being alive should not be seen as your last, be kind to yourself. Sometimes, the most important thing is how you see your self ( aka your self-image) and how you develop your self-esteem. You can do most of you can and that is enough. Best of luck, we will always be here for you.
