an honest life update | how i've really been doing...

[@Sasha_xo]

That saying when it rains it pours is soo true! When one thing goes wrong it’s a like a bunch of things go wrong even if they’re small things it is really frustrating. But I completely understand! Things will get better ❤️

[@KaitlynJohnson]

yes exactly! it seems like everything builds off of one tiny little thing.

Y’all we need to get this girl to 1 million followers

[@jadielitzinger376]

Thank you for being so vulnerable and opening up to your followers, especially about how your anxiety works and how little things can completely set you off. Very relatable. Being so open shows how strong you are. PLEASE take as long as you need to take care of yourself !!

[@KaitlynJohnson]

thank you SO much! i try to be as open as i can🤍

Binge watching your videos and you have come such a long way since you filmed this, you’ve calmed down so much and seem more into the swing of things. I know 2 years can make a huge difference but I’m so glad these type of videos exist to even look back on because I don’t feel so alone when it comes to my anxiety & mental health. How you said one little thing can completely set you off massively and you can’t let it go describes me perfectly. I’m sooooo proud of your progress and all of your success since this video 🥺🩷🩷🩷

[@pebs65]

I don’t know how this video popped up but I loved watching it. I’ve been a social worker for 32 years and two days ago I had a very similar (what I call) meltdown. Trust me, everyone needs to have them occasionally and then do exactly what you did which is to talk yourself through it. Also, I was a psych major then went to grad school. Back then it was really the only way to do it because social work was not a true major at Coastal Carolina. Anyway…loved the video and your spirit.

[@juliannaf437]

i’m an incoming freshman at alabama and this is so real and raw. I also have anxiety so i feel you. also, when you say that they didn’t have your icy flavor like that’s so valid it sucks when things keep going the wrong way especially when you need just one thing to go right! good luck in your classes girl your killing it

[@arlenej.freeman4530]

The 1st step to overcoming anxiety is to stop saying you have it! Words are powerful! You are amazing 😊

[@christyzdenek2053]

Girl I don't know you but if getting on Facebook and ranting is a source of making yourself feel better then do you. You don't know me but I take the time to hear you out because I understand how stressful anxiety is. Your videos are an inspiration to so many, more than you know! Keep your head up and keep shining

[@KaitlynJohnson]

thank you sm!

[@kemida9642]

Hi Kaitlyn...I just came across your instagram page a month ago. You remind me of my younger self as I am an only child too. I can definitely relate to a lot of things that you're saying in this particular video. I'm gonna give you some unwanted advice. And that is to continue to do what you're doing so that you don't lose yourself. Growing up in the 90s, however, social media and definitely self-care was not a part of our language. At that time, I became an adult and decided to have a child. I definitely lost myself and did not focus on my mental health. I am now in my late 40s and so glad to see young ladies like you are trying to maintain everything and yet understand that self-care is so important. I understand you have a lot of followers who are old enough to probably be your mom. LOL... just know that you are definitely an inspiration to us all. 💕

[@coreygolden8697]

A real-life talk is sometimes all we need to know is that we are human; we are trying for everything. Whether that is getting it out or writing more stuff out and grinding on specifics. We have to do what we need to do to function for our own mental state. Take care of yourself. I know that there will be a ton of us waiting for you to come back. Always supporting.

[@a.m.6847]

Do you have a hard time saying "no" and setting boundaries against other people's behavior that intrudes on you? And do you feel guilty when you say "no" ?

[@kessiabrown]

Sounds like we have some things in common even if I am twice your age. I'm an only child, I grew up in MS, got married and moved to IA. It is different, you're right. People in the Midwest keep to themselves a lot more. It can take a long time to get comfortable where you are. And it can cause anxiety being away from your parents and all the what-ifs. Totally get it. Be sure to keep in touch with your people at home as much as you can. It will do wonders for your mental health. Find that one person where you are in AL that you can go to. People in the south are very hospitable, I'm sure you know that by now. Pray your way through all of it. Oh! And I'm a social worker 😁

[@littlemisskate4254]

You do not have to explain yourself as I understand because I have mental health issues and major anxiety issues and and yes anything can set me off literally anything can. It I’m having to ring someone up about my electricity bill I will get anxious because I’ve got to sort the electricity bill out and ring someone who I don’t know and try and explain what I want. I have suffered with this for over 20 years or more and I not just have anxiety problems but depression as well and the other health issues too. Properly. As they say, it’s fine to not be fine. try not to take on too many tasks are you burning yourself out which will probably make you anxious and really down.

[@KaitlynJohnson]

it can feel very overwhelming at some times.

[@MonikaSalita]

@@KaitlynJohnson that’s totally understandable. I was close enough to home that I could take a one hour bus and go home for the weekend but I know that’s not possible for you. I like my alone time so I balanced it out by gathering with friends in small groups, say 3 to 5 people. I also enjoyed doing things by myself like going to the gym or window shopping at the local mall, shopping for a variety of things at the store, going to the salon, or going for a walk or just sitting outside on the lawn, for example. Those things are also fun to do with friends but they can be good activities to do by yourself and have some time to decompress. I also like to take long hot showers. I feel like it’s a good space to let my mind wander in the little bubble of a shower.

[@KaitlynJohnson]

I just want to say first I've been there. It happens I would just try to practice knowing things will happen but they will be okay and everything will workout. And I know I probably get hate for this but I don't care, before I found Jesus I was anxiety ridden I was bed ridden before because of it it couldn't get out of bed for months I never really slept. And I felt like I lost myself until I found Jesus. He has helped me get through it, through the good and the bad he will help whoever wants it. He loves you and it will get ride of or help your anxiety. Just praying can help any situation. I love you your strong and I know you probably won't see this but your so smart and beautiful I know your more capable of than what your think. I love you I hope you have an amazing day God bless! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
