Wer es mag der es mag aber lieber nich verjessen dass die Einsamkeit besonders mit anhaltenden Erkrankungen nur sterben beschleunigt

[@cerineche7269]

I agree !

Ciao Anna, I'm an Italian girl, you know I'm writing this comment while I'm crying, I just came across on a your video from the other channel and I started watching a few, bookmarking some, then I also found this your second channel. I'm commenting to tell you that you are truly BEAUTIFUL.🌻 You have charisma, this word that not everyone knows how to give a meaning to, for me it's a person that I see as a red flower in a field of white flowers. You moved me, your story, your energy, your strength, your hope and survival instinct that got you out of a sad life. You're right, we ourselves choose what kind of life to have. It's true, but the circumstances, the things that happen to us, the environment around us, work against us and make it difficult to choose, sometimes impossible. To this day, emotions and my state of mind still decide for me, choose for me and command my life, a sad life. I understood that mental health is as important as physical health, for example it may seem that not having a leg is a much bigger tragedy than being depressed. But it is not like that, because with depression a person has both legs, yes, but their mind does not allow to use them! and so it is like not having a leg, and not only that, but for the whole body, and even for the mind itself, your mind fights with your mind, it does not let you to stand up and get out of bed, even if your mind tries to protect you by activating hope and the survival instinct and makes you think of something you could do to try to feel better, your same depressed part of mind fights to keep you still, to not let you do anything that could benefit you, it drags you into a deep hole in the ground and if you try to get out it holds you back. Depression is like living in this pit with a huge stone attached to your ankle. I really admire people who finally have the strength to defeat it, they manage to get out, and discover the world, they discover everything that is positive in life and find serenity and maybe even happiness, I really admire these people for the strength they had, because only with your own strength can you get out, no one can help you, and not everyone has this strength. Unfortunately I was born unlucky, in the wrong family from which I distanced myself. When you grow up with parents who are not on your side or are non-existent, the floor is literally missing from under your feet. And you can be 15/30/50 years old, this feeling will never go away, you will always feel lost. When those who by nature should welcome you go against nature and reject you, you will always believe that everyone will abandon you and this fear will never go away. No one can understand the emptiness that you carry inside, only those who have too can understand it. These are incurable wounds. Then I made bad choices, being alone and feeling lost and scared I became morbidly attached to my ex-boyfriend, another extremely wrong person, but the only one who was always there, and I made the mistake of staying in that toxic relationship for more than 10 years, this led to many other events and other things, which made me make other bad choices, but the most serious thing of all was getting depression, I have never been to a doctor who diagnosed it, but I know I have it (which consequently also caused me other problems such as eating disorders, complexes, zero self-esteem, and character changes). I tried to leave him for years, but between him making it difficult for me and me always having this feeling of fear of being left without any point of reference in life, I was never able to leave him, and in these years depression dug and brought me into this hole so deeply. I reached the threshold of not wanting to live anymore. But my survival instinct intervened and did not let me die. The survival instinct is something truly magical, because it is a force that you do not know you have and you do not even understand where it came from, but magically it activates and desperately tries to protect you. And it gave me the shock of seeing that even if scary, it was better to find myself in a life alone than in that life that had brought me close to dying. Thanks to this strength after so many years I was able to definitively end that relationship and I am still sure that it was the best choise for me, even if now I am alone and I feel lost. But unfortunately that force, even if strong, is not strong enough to heal me and manage to get me out of depression. Today I think I'm in the phase where I'm still in that hole, and I just raised my head and I'm seeing the sky the light the clouds and I have the hope that out there there is a world where maybe I could live and find something positive. I managed with years and effort to break the chain that tied my ankle, but this made me too weak and debilitated to get out. My willpower and hope keep me alive, but I still don't know if, how, and when I will be able to get out. My heart is alive, I have so much love inside but I have no one to give it to, and I don't mean just a man, but simple friends. After all, the need to receive and give love is human, in fact not only human, it's the same for animals too. You, your empathy, your story and your journey shared in your videos are truly a source of inspiration and have given me emotions. This is why I think you are beautiful! If I lived in Berlin I would love to be your friend. I live in Milan but work in Munich and I go back and forth between these two cities. I really hope to be able to heal one day... and to be able to take care of myself, and to meet and know beautiful people who could become true friends for life. Thanks to those who have had the patience to read, and a hug to all the people who suffer.❤️🍀

I am recovering from a DCA and i start to enjoy solo dates so much ❤

[@RockinRedbyrd]

In my early 20s I went to the movies by myself because I moved and did not know anyone. It was wonderful; everyone watches the Movie not you. When I see a woman on her own some place I look at her because I admire her independence and confidence. Hope you have more wonderful solo dates!!!😊

Wow, an edible spoon-that must take the ice cream experience to another level! 🤩🍦By the way, I'm googling the recipe for chili sin carne now, sounds like a great idea for my weekly meal prep 💚

[@stackorlee6053]

Anna, could you do some videos in German too? It's my second language and I like your accent to emulate. Btw I always do a double take when you say "get" your hair and make-up done, because it means when you pay somebody else to do it for you (beim Frisör) and sounds pretentious/ expensive lol, then I see you mean "do" your *own* hair and make-up.

[@cassandrabrandful6582]
