Hailey, i just want you to know, your videos always made my sucked days better. I've been following you since 2018 or 2019 i guess, through the worst phases of my life, breakup with my 5-years ex, unemployed and covid phase, lost my eldest brother and my dad. But here it is, you and your videos always accompanied me through all of them, i was so depressed back at that time, but somehow still had excitement to watch all of your videos you shared. Thank you so much, Hailey! Really hope you have a blissful life, sad or happy, wish you pass them merrily 😊❤

[@HaileyinBookland]

Thank you so much that means a lot to me 💜 I’m so sorry you had to go through so much but I’m glad I could be there for you in some way

[@amritasengupta5251]

Hope you are doing better now.

[@leilaroom]

@@amritasengupta5251 I am quite much better, thank you! Hope you're doing well too 😊

[@kaceybreitbach9616]

Glad to see that you’re feeling better, or at least working towards that. Do what lights up your soul!! 👏🏼✨

[@jenniferbaumer1654]

Never thought your videos had to be one thing or the other. Seeing someone be so honest about struggles and depression helps; seeing you wake up out of it and feel so much better is wonderful and hopeful; an entire video of best reads is wonderful too. You've led me to some favorite reads, and made me feel less alone when the dark closes in. Looking forward to wherever your channel takes you. ❤

[@laurencarr1267]

I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time at this point, and I think this one felt like one of the most authentic from you that I’ve seen ❤ you can really outwardly see that you’re feeling better and it shows for sure. Here for this kind of content/vlog going forward

[@HaileyinBookland]

It’s definitely a more personal side, but I’m excited for it too 💜💜

[@burnt-croissants]

the last two years i've also been in a depressive slump. stuck at home with little to no socialization, it's easy to loose yourself in a situation like that. you're really brave for posting this raw and real look at your life and it definitely makes me feel less alone knowing i'm not the only one who's been dealing with these things. thankfully, i've also been working on myself over the past year, and i'm also starting to feel better. here's to healing our hearts and souls!

[@bananaspink1]

I am here for the change! It takes a strong person to say, ya know what, i'm going to do what I like! This new direction will give everyone a wonderful view of whats going on with you!! I am sure I like many people commend you for being so raw!! xo

🥰🥰🥰

[@patriciapegueros7092]

I'm glad that you are working on yourself that is the best thing you can do for yourself. Also i totally understand sometimes the little things that don't seem important get to us when we are not feeling okay. and i'm glad that you are accepting that sometimes you will have an okay day and sometimes you will not and its okay.

[@WeathersWorldOfBooks]

1000 times YES. “It’s really hard when you’re in the depths of depression to find joy in anything.” Is so spot on. I lost myself for nearly 3 YEARS before I finally managed to climb my way back. It started super small, like how you’re saying with the Sun catcher in the window. I decorated the space above my work desk (I work from home) with a collage of things that felt like “me” that I could see throughout the day and it made me happy! Then I just started making a point to try out things that interested me to see if they brought joy. Some didn’t, but then those that did?! They helped my mental health tremendously. I have found a joy in planting and growing flowers in my front yard, crocheting things, cooking new foods, journaling, writing letters to my future self, etc. anyway to let me be creative. So often we get so caught up in the day to day of life that we don’t “check in” enough with ourselves. I’ve been a wife and mother for so long I couldn’t remember the last time I stopped to ask myself “what makes YOU happy? Not what made you happy 5 years ago. But what makes you happy TODAY?” It took trial and error but I learned so much about myself over the last couple of years, and I feel so much happier and more fulfilled now. Just from seeing this video in comparison to some of the others you’ve posted over the last little while your mindset already seems better and you already seem lighter/happier. You’re seeing things you want to work on and you’re acknowledging that and making a plan. ❤ I wish the best of luck to you on finding your joy, no matter what that is. The only tip I can give regarding content is: me as a consumer of all things book vlog, life vlogging, day in the life, etc. is film what makes you excited to film. Include whatever you want to include content wise - bookish or not! Will it get the most views? Who knows?! But your excitement for doing the video content you WANT to do will shine through and will pull in YOUR people. Those leaving nasty comments about the things you’re doing wrong? Those aren’t you’re people. ❤ Side note: As a girl from Texas, with this lovely summer heat 😅 it is almost the time of year when my pool water is too hot to be enjoyable. I don’t want to sit in a hot tub when it’s 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside 😂 so I feel you, just on the other end of the spectrum. If I am spending the money for the pool and the upkeep/maintenance I want to be able to enjoy it dang it! 😂

[@andrijanabilbija6031]

This made me so full of joy! Love to see you happy and your excitement for life and growth

[@arv9130]

hey hailey i really love your videos they really help myself coming back to reading a video on book recommendations about communication (like how to talk to people and friends) would be cool❤

[@pariah_haven]

So glad to have a video from you! Your house is beautiful. I would be upset about the pool too if I had one. Like it's not on my list of things for a house but it would be awesome to have one and not have it be in public.

[@AmandasBooksandlife]

Please do more of these vlogs i love watching them. They are inspiring and honest i love that 😍

[@BC-wn7ku]

Good luck on your rebrand and reset. I don't watch a lot of her content but Darling Desi always has nice videos for the start of each season. She just put up one for the start of her soft summer that is a very peaceful watch. Has a mix of different content, but with some books too. Don't feel bad about being upset about the pool. That is upsetting plus expensive. You felt it and moved on.

[@Lanaxparillaxwife]

I love these type of videos

[@HopefulMere]

I LOVE your vibe. This video made me so happy.

I’ve been out of the loop and happy I’m back watching your videos! I didn’t know you got a second dog! Too cute!

[@cassidyhorwood]

Your whole energy and vibe in this video is so light and happy! So glad to hear that you’ve been feeling a lot better lately and feel like you’re finding more joy in things! Really looking forward to what you have planned!!!

[@squirlle6]

One of the things I love most about you is how authentic you are. You never sugarcoat things, which is amazing considering this platform thrives off inauthenticity . I love that you are taking time for yourself and bettering your mental health rather than pushing content. I can't wait to see where the revamp takes you!

[@judithcakelover]

Love your video's ❤ Thank you for sharing everything I can relate to you so much and have been struggeling but it'll get better. It just has to be.

[@jasminmohan9750]

Thanks for sharing your story! I know that it takes a lot of courage and I applaud your honesty!! I have never felt that you were anything less than awesome and I am glad that you have taken the time for yourself to improve your mental health! You are incredible and I really appreciate you! I hope that things only continue to get better for you! ❤🌈💛📚🤗🙏⭐🌟🌻

[@jillhansen543]

Yours was the first channel I ever followed when I joined KZbin back in 2015. I am still here and still enjoy all of your videos. Looking forward to watching all of your upcoming videos.

Thanks so much that’s amazing! 💜

[@angiefuentesd2]

Hailey, first of all I wanted to tell you that I've watched you for a long time and I'm extremenly proud of you! I'm on a very similar path right now and I know we can do this❤Thank you for sharing this. I send you the biggest warmest hug🥺These things can make one feel very isolated, just know you're not alone and I'm very happy to see you being happy💖

[@megblake7965]

i’ve been watching your videos for a long time i think since i was 7 or 8 and i’m about to be 18. i’ve always found comfort in your content and i love that you’re feeling better and are willing to be raw and honesty about your struggles. i love you and your content keep it up you’re amazing 🫶🏼.

[@HaileyinBookland]

That is so wild for me to think about, you just blew my mind! 🤯 Thank you for sticking around for so long 💜💜💜

[@andraste6746]

So pleased to hear you are feeling so much better. As someone with really long term depression and anxiety soaking up all the little moments totally fills you up. Being in nature and breathing, a moment with a loved one or pet, a book, enjoying the sun or the rain, a cup of tea. Very simple basic things.

[@lindseygundersen3951]

I have felt the exact same when you said I’ve felt in a fog the past few years. I feel like I’ve been feeling better and glad you are too!

[@katiescorneroftheinternet]

I've been a viewer for about 6 years. I've seen the ups and downs if the videos. But I also think it's what makes you so relatable. I found you thru the booktube community, but my favourite videos of yours that I still go back and watch from time to time are vlogs, and weekly wellness videos. I'm excited to see the future of this channel and happy to see you happy❤ As a fellow Canadian, the Healthcare is an absolute horror. I'm in Nova Scotia and we have doctor and nurse shortages. My heart goes out to you the most though! I couldn't imagine also a language barrier!

[@Jaszies.many.worlds]

Love this video ❤ I am glad that you are feeling yourself. It takes a lot to get to this stage. I know exactly what you have been through and what you are going through. I am continuing to grow every day. Weather definitely does play a factor in mood. Our comfort zones also hold us back. We do have to step outside of our comfort zones sometimes. It's hard but it's also healthy for us too. Don't forget your self-love time. It's important!!! You've got this girl!!! 🎉 You can do this. You've got a great support team. Its good that you went to your gratitude journal and than did a self-love project after an implosion emotional event. Its hard for us to see outside of the box sometimes when we get into those emotions. You did great!! 👍

[@gerrynoel9959]

This is one of my favourite vifeos of you, just very real and vlogish

[@sandramiksawrites]

I love tour vlogs, been following you for so many years now and I just want you to be happy and take care of your mental health (as someone who’s been there for years.) People that resonate with you through your journey mental health/reading/writing/content creating will be there and new people will come in too. ❤ Prends soin de toi (take care of yourself 🥰)

[@accalialb]

I’m already crying and we’re only 5 min in. I’ve been a fog for… so long. I almost stopped reading, I’m constantly looking for the next thing that’ll take me out of it but it’s always such a temporary relief. I feel like I lost myself along the way. And hearing you saying that makes me feel less alone. And seeing you glowing gives me hope. I’m so happy you’re feeling better. ❤

[@eeemmaa]

thank you so much for sharing hailey💜 i’m not in a great spot right now and just when things seem to be getting better something will knock me back to where i was before. this video gave me a lot of hope as someone who has been struggling for a very long time.

[@AdrianasWonderland]

I think the feeling of being lost and foggy is very common for people in our age... sometimes it can be hard, but you definitely can't blame yourself for it, all life is searching for yourself

[@sandraraedeer4849]

You do what makes you happy, as a person who also suffers from depression I totally get what you are saying. It is not easy and some times it is difficult to find enthusiasm to do the things that we love to do. 💗

[@GabrielaRincic]

Amazing video... and love the nails ❤

[@birdyoconnor]

I’ve been following you for years and will continue to do so! I guarantee you have more people following you who will be happy watching you talk about something other than books! You truly don’t need to pin yourself down to any one topic because people contain multitudes!! 🎉 I’m glad you’re in a better place. I go through depression fogs as well. Just got out of one in May. Feeling so much better right now. Anyway just wanted to say you’re great and keep on keeping on!

[@ivonajuraskova4783]

It’s totally normal to be upset about things that may sound ridiculous, mainly when it was the thing you were most excited about for a year. I wish you luck to find something new that can help make you calm. ☺️

[@jampsonn1826]

Girlllll yes to all of this! I feel so similarly - kind of lost myself for the last few years and have just now felt like I've come up for air for the first time in a long time. I'm also working every day to get back to myself and to figure out better ways to manage my emotions and anxiety, and it has not been easy! 😅 but thankfully I feel like most days are good, and the ones that feel tough are not nearly as bad as they used to be. Emotional challenges come at me all the time, but I'm feeling a lot more confident that i have techniques to handle them with care. Much love to you on your journey and hope you continue doing well! ❤❤

[@BeccaBrelle]

I enjoy all content from you and will continue to do so. I found you though book tube but stay because I like you so much! Happy you’re feeling better! 🖤

[@jnerosfire]

ok so like with the way you felt about the pool...i find that's totally normal with things like anxiety. Me and one of my friends always kinda joke "I just need to be dramatic...and then i'll handle it". once I get past the initial emotional/anxiety response then I can sit down and be calmer and rational and go "Ok this is what we're going to do." Ive had a huge upheaval in my life recently and am having to make a big literal move, and have had some meltdowns over the past few weeks in the process and she just keeps going "You're doing amazing, you are allowed to cry, you're allowed to panic, but you're not allowed to quit." I think sometimes recognizing that things are upsetting, even if we know that our response sometimes isn't what others would consider "correct" it's helpful to get the feelings and the disappointment or anxiety OUT. We're allowed to have our feelings about things. All of us trying to work on our lives in any way are working on learning the best way for us to process things, and I don't feel like the processing moment happens instantly for anyone. You're totally good. Sorry if that makes NO sense. Basically trying to tell you you're not alone in that.

[@Sarasstorytime22]

I'm glad you found a new perspective about the pool. You allowed yourself to be disappointed but then realized that in the grand scheme of things it's something very tiny. Your self therapy seems to be working! 😉 Who needs a licensed therapist? Lol💜

[@CharlestonSocietyOfHorror]

Looooook I’ll be the first time admit that I am a mentally ill princess myself so maybe I’m not the one to even say this lmao but I feel like it’s 10000% reasonable to “whine” about losing a silver lining/coping skill.. that fucking sucks!! I hope you find the perfect thing to fill the void soon. I loved this video btw, thanks for being so vulnerable and honest with us. It was extremely relatable to me.

[@bookwormchats]

Hailey I find that when you speak openly about issues, yes I understand others might see it as whining but you need to sometimes get it off your chest. Don't get me wrong when looking at it from outside perspective it could come across that way but what causes worry/stress we need to get it off our mind or worse things could happen.

[@angelaholmes8888]

You are totally right

[@elizatash]

If it helps, they make solar covers for the pool that warm the water. They look like shiny bubble wrap and work really well.

[@emmakgill]

Loved this video, Hailey, and so glad you are feeling better! I have followed you for about 5 years and have always looked forward to you and your content. ❤

[@Obytc]

Hailey, you are awesome. Although not many of us could relate to having a pool or anything, we understand that its an inconvenience when it doesn’t work properly. Please dont apologise for living your life that way you like. If you wanna talk about the broken pool for another 1 hour, please do. If people are annoyed they will skip that part, the rest of us will listen to it. Its your channel, it has to be of your liking. Love you xoxo.

[@caseyouellette4045]

It's so nice to see you back! I feel you on the pool struggle. My husband and I bought our house at the end of February and we need to put a new pump and filter on the above ground pool that it came with. Which probably won't get done this year since we're saving up for a belated honeymoon.

[@pauliina5565]

Watching this made me so happy! I have been in a void of depression for the past couple of years, and it feels a bit overwhelming to get back on track (especially as I missed things in my studies while I was feeling unwell and catching up is tough). You inspire me so much, and I look forward to your new era!! I feel like watching this video got me really motivated to work things out for myself ❤ Would love to sign up for your patreon to contribute to the pool heater fund!!

[@mariahsmith2751]

By no means do I want you to feel like you have to do this or even should do it but I want you to know that I would love to hear about your mental health journey. This past year I’ve been trying to work on my mental health, I got new doctors, a therapist, trying different therapy programs. It hit hard when you said about depression being so bad that you don’t feel joy in anything, I felt that hard. This video made me feel really “seen” and I’m just interested in hearing your journey but I understand if it’s something you don’t want to/can’t talk about. I’m glad you’re doing better!

[@mimibelta259]

The pool not being heated doesn’t make you a baby I hate when pools are cold especially when it’s sunny but if the water is like ice then swimming is no fun especially if you keep getting in and out of the pool so I agree with you about the water in the pool makes pool time more enjoyable

[@MERollered]

Proud of you, as someone who always fights with these types of mood swings I get it. I am glad you've gotten to that point where you can start to talk about it and how to move on. I've been watching for so long that I have seen all the ups and downs you've done and all the changes in your life. Its weird but I almost feel maternal about you (you're a bit older than my spawns but not too much) and seeing you struggle in the hard times worried me. Look forward to the new content and whatever else you throw at us!

[@krissyn.3366]

Oof! I felt this one Hailey! I've felt the same way the last couple of years for various reasons and am also finally feeling better. I guess it just had to happen in its own time. ❤

[@rocknregalia]

Often times I am in a situation where I wish my husband was there because the person I am trying to communicate with primarily speaks Spanish. So, I totally get that situation.

Honestly NDs are made to feel bad about feeling bad about trivial stuff (according to neurotypicals) that's not trivial to us affecting our moods. I say, ignore these people. We feel what we feel. And as neurodivergents, we have many sensory issues and warm water is calming to us. So I totally get you. Take care Hailey. One neurodivergent to another. We love you.

Not sure how helpful this is, but going for a run/ getting all sweaty the en going in the pool may be a happy medium? In Texas, no heaters are required from about April until November 😂 I’m sorry to hear about the heater but I enjoyed your video!

I would be upset about the pool too!! If you haven't heard of this already, I recommend looking into Internal Family systems (parts), founded by Richard Schwartz. It might help with being able to look at strong emotions without getting "Consumed" by them like you talked about--totally relate!!

[@_Just_Jess_]

You know what... It is OKAY if you are upset that your pool won't be heated. It doesn't make you a bad, terrible, "first world problems" person. You can have perspective on the world AND be sad your pool heater is broken. ❤❤❤❤❤ Loved this video!

Hi Hailey! I love that you are able to be open and honest about your depression. I suffer with manic depression and have for years. Last October I started seeing a new Dr and she changed my meds and I feel better than I have in a long time. I love the idea of journaling. I have watched your videos for several years and you always make my days brighter. I can't wait to see you branch out with the things that make you feel good about your self. I'm excited for you!
