Heyyyy I been waiting for years !!!!!!!!😂😂😂

[@kaylaslove]

Alessya let me tell you YOU ARE NOT ALONE Ive been depressed the whole summer (more like the whole year) I’ve basically been doing nothing except lay in bed, scroll, sleep, and eat. Very unusual for me since I love summer and it makes me happy but this time my depression got in the way. I thought summer would take my depression away but it didn’t.

[@MsJujubee3]

How old are you babe? How much time a day do you spend on your phone/social media?

[@kaylaslove]

@@MsJujubee3 I’m 16. When I’m not depressed im barely on my phone and I have a normal screen time 1-5 hours (usually because I keep my phone on when listening to music) but when I’m stuck in a depressive slump I’m practically all day on my phone. I know very well that’s it’s harmful but its really hard to have healthier habits when you’re depressed.

I hope you get better.

And this is why I’m really glad that I’m taking school seriously because when I was not doing school, in my gap year I felt lost but free at the same time. But now that I’m in school, I feel pretty stable and have a routine. Even though it’s pretty lonely-ishh. At least I’m getting an education and I know that life after school is gonna be kind of empty a little bit but maybe it might not

[@palak8742]

Thank you for commenting this actually, I've been stuck in a weird place where I'm struggling to take my academics seriously and it inspires me to know that engaging with school is what's making someone's life better. I aspire to do the same.

[@zoeymeyer8254]

im currently taking my gap year and agree with you so much!! im a sucker for a good routine and not having it right is not helping my mental health at all😂

[@isabellaa8875]

@@palak8742yess, I’m telling you when I was working my retail job and going back to school. I really realize that school will always be a priority and just so much better. Working didn’t even matter anymore to me because I enjoyed what I was learning and the teachers. So maybe there might be something that sparks you again in school to not lose focus on the prize, which is the degree😏. Low-key I’m struggling to academically, but I gotta get my head in the game🫶

[@isabellaa8875]

@@zoeymeyer8254 yaa, I feel like life didn’t really pick up until I started school but I was just at home doing nothing and got alone can literally cause you to lose your mind by not socializing. Then seeing your friends with their life…. But again it’s better to know what you want then not knowing but at some point, you cannot wait any more longer you just got to go✌️

[@kathym322]

Exactly! And i am going to graduate on time as people my age! My friend i feel bad for her she cant do school this semester because she cant afford it but shes always bragging about getting expensive stuff so i think thats her sign to like.. stop yk. Anyway she has to wait to graduate and im most likely gonna be done before her😊😊

[@xogloria]

i'm 13 and I've had some really bad negative and suicidal thoughts this year. I feel like i have no one to talk to or someone that relates because I tend to bottle up my feelings and let it overflow when i'm in a bad state. Watching this video helped me to recover from my little 'episodes' and get my life back on track. new sub💗💗💗

[@KillaBee716]

Just know that even tho the communication isn’t always there, So many people love you. I know life seems hard but hang in there. With time things better💖 So many people battle depression but are too afraid to speak on it. Myself included

Hi! I totally understand what you’re feeling. Im 15 years old and im also dealing with suicidal thoughts sometimes. So I hope it helps to know youre not alone and that it wil eventually get better if you believe in it. I’ve been going to a therapist for the past couple weeks and its been really helping me so I always recommend it to people. If you want anyone to talk to, im always here.

[@hannahh9523]

Watching your videos I always admired the fact you looked like you had it all together. I admire you even more now. It takes a lot to admit and show imperfections being a perfectionist. Something about knowing that there are others out there that go through ruts brings comfort that you’re not going through it alone :)

[@pranayadhir1489]

i just searched on safari how to recover after being sick and literally opened youtube after that and saw pookie posted i mean the universe is on my side today thank you alessya❤️❤️❤️

I actually desperately needed this video.. I been trying so hard to pull myself out of this.. I was doin so good, and shit got tough and I made some mistakes and I’m still recovering from that.. but thank you girl ❤

[@superbad2007]

God, it feels so good to hear someone be in a slump! I've been out of school 8 months and finally went back for fall and recently, I've been having what I call pre class jitters. I'd be emotional id have anxiety attacks id just let my anxiety my ocd my depression come out and say all sorts of things because I'm nervous and yet I waited so long to join classes again. It feels great to know I'm not alone in a time I should be rejoicing

[@logandevereux5076]

Girl this was so relatable!!! I’m experiencing autistic loneliness and it’s been painful feeling like I’m a failure and that I’m not being as productive as my friends and family are! But I know I’m not alone and this video helped me so much, I’m sorry you’re not feeling the best but things will get better. I’ve learned that most of my depressive times teach me life lessons that help me go forward in life and become more of my true self. Love you lots 🥰🥰

[@Thepharaohsoul]

First time watching your videos and full transparency: I really needed to hear and see this. I’ve been in the worst slump for almost a year now, it’s been so hectic mentally when you understand there’s change that needs to be made but simply don’t make it. Whether it be from lack of energy or motivation those come backs are always what life’s about. Appreciate you fr Alessya.

[@ameliesmagic6958]

This woman has given me confidence to be myself, god bless you

[@ilikediaherrea]

thank you for your honesty alessya and for feeling comfortable enough to be vulnerable with us. you feel like a friend of mine when I watch your videos and we are the same age too. i have this same problem too but I've been learning on how to take things easy because that's the only way you can persevere. I tell myself one step is better than no steps at all, I've made myself have anxiety attacks trying to make myself do so much in a short amount of time and it isn't healthy.

[@merieltiapula991]

Thank you for being real and transparent Alessya! We love you for who you are! Lovely video ♡♡

[@Faeriesephone]

Honestly Alessya i love and appreciate you because at the end of the day, you’re human and i think of these “self improvements” and “rountines” just seem so overwhelming and makes you think that, you NEED to do this and that to become or be “that girl” or to be “self disciplined”. But i feel like in reality it’s just doing simple things that aren’t extreme and something simple and nice like going to the park, journaling, cleaning or just doing your legit best! Honestly at the end of the day we’re people and we have our days and moments we’re not meant to be perfect. But i know that you’ll be okay and it’ll get better sometimes we need to fall in order to rise up again🩷
