Thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us, it helps more than you know. I've been going through it lately so I can't tell you how much I appreciate you ❤

[@aliciagarcia3521]

I totally agree. I'm dealing with a lot of mental health issues lately but this video has given me hope ❤

[@rachelrandolph2579]

As a long time viewer, it makes me so happy to see that you have grown so much and have finally found systems that work for you to manage your mental health!! It also gives me hope that I am able to manage my own life a little better by following some of your advice. I'm so proud of you! Having my 4 cats and boyfriend gives me a purpose to better myself. I love my little family and I love supporting them in any way I can. I think it's my turn to lean on them a little more and find ways to heal. Thank you for sharing your story with us 🥰

[@kbmakes]

In the same way Zoe and Miso deserve the best lives possible, so do you Reese ❤ and anyone reading this!

[@ashboo28]

"That one's not coming back" followed by watering the plant cracked me up so bad.

[@thephamilybusiness9485]

I love this format of filming, and I totally understand how having a pet can save your life. My dog, Leonard, is my entire world and I would be dead without him. He gives me a reason to keep breathing every single day. I also love the idea of writing everything you did down instead of what needs to be done and I think I might try that. Thank you Reese

[@annahurtt8047]

I absolutely loved this style of video! Watching you do your cleaning vids and even just your calm going through a regular day has often motivated me to get my work done and do those daily chores that I've been needing to do. You've helped me tremendously and I'm so glad to see you in a happier place dong the things you enjoy! Keep it up girl!

[@michelle-cq8qr]

As someone who grew up watching lifestyle videos, I always felt discouraged and overwhelmed because they were unrealistic for me (due to disability, mental health, and the resulting fatigue). I really appreciate you being so open and honest, especially about your mental health. It’s refreshing to see videos I can actually relate to and with realistic advice and day-to-day routines. Also fellow PMDD girl here, they really need to teach us more about this kind of thing in school!! I had no idea what it was when I was first diagnosed, but treating it (and just being aware of it) has made such a huge difference in my life.

[@ambertaryn]

I loved this video and how honest you were in it! Thank you for always sharing about your mental health journey and giving us a safe space to talk about our own stories.

[@AerickahCruz]

if yall take any birth control you cant really cycle sync... sucks...

[@kaylam12346]

Favorite video you've made in awhile! I'm so glad you've found what helps you and it's been great as a long time subscriber to see you posting so consistently for so long because you feel better ❤

[@somyagarg3922]

I just love seeing her talk and I simply just love her existence! ❤️ Thank you so much Reese ! 🌹❤️

[@lenora-yoder]

Also if you want to go the free route - see if In The Flo is at your local library, or on your library's Libby! I just looked and my library has it so I put it on hold to pick up next time I'm there :)

[@cristianapalma3174]

Omg the hair part, I totally feel that 🥺 On days when I'm super depressed and don't feel like getting ready I just put my hair in a high bun, wash my face, no make up, and enjoy a walk that generelly makes me feel a little better. We deserve to enjoy small things even on our worst days ❤️

[@aliakapoor]

Zoe is definitely your soul dog ❤ I've always felt it. And yes, miso is lovely too.

[@mansoor3159]

Reese you never fails to bring me smile with your vlogs and I can't say how much I am happy you are my inspiration and I wish you have a best Sunday😁💖💫

[@sophiabrooman3840]

you have no idea how much this video helped me, thank u so much

[@Olc2906]

REESE! I’ve never commented but wow this video was amazing. Would love to hear you talk more about your experience with cycle syncing. I suffer with horrific symptoms during menstruation and am always interested in hearing peoples experience to get inspired about what things to try out to ease my own symptoms. Thank you for your content always ❤️

[@blakea.e.1681]

I had really painful periods, hormonal acne, and significant increase in depression/suicidal thoughts around my period. My doctor recommended balancing the testosterone in my body as the signs told us that is what I had in excess. I took a supplement with extracts of cruciferous vegetables and it really helped my symptoms, without using birth control. You can also focus on eating certain foods rather than taking a supplement like Reese talked about in this video. For me that would be cruciferous veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts,cauliflower etc

[@Olc2906]

@@blakea.e.1681 thank you! I’ll definitely give this a try

[@adriannabrewer4686]

You always upload exactly what I need to see! Also you are glowing you’re so pretty!

[@basicallyreese]

yes!! i don’t have caffeine the week before my period per the cycle syncing recommendations and i hate to admit that it helps but it does😭

[@chrysoula5226]

I am in love with this video, the format of filming the advice thank you for this✨️

[@haileypersico8217]

This video is great thank you so much for being so open with everything. I’m going through that weird phase of not knowing who I am and healing etc. my period has been harshhhh so I’m going to try cycle syncing! You’ve helped so much and got me into journaling which has helped so much and the to do list to plan out and not be so overwhelmed thank you!!❤❤

[@thedarkmjollnirgodofthunde7442]

I saw the secret question, what makes me happy is my manga collection and sharing food with people.

[@Sorchablossomsx]

Omg omg omg please do more about PMDD… I TRY SO HARD + on top of depression I’ve adhd & pre period for some dumb reason stops the meds working but why is it so hard to be diagnosed everyone just thinks ur dramatic 😭😭

[@happinesss2]

It’s the rebellious side of me but the idea of living by your cycle upsets me (on just a personal level). It’s just sadly unfair we can’t do whatever we want whenever we want because that’s nature. Sigh, but I totally get the benefits of it I’m just stubborn and contrary haha so many unfair stuff towards women. Also another super relatable video as always! Especially the being creative but never acting on it part. I wonder what it is… depression?

[@Namesasheck]

Hiii! Something that makes me feel happier and healthier is my twist on journaling! Something I learned in therapy is that I SUCK at journaling. BUT I make a crap ton of lists all the time. So I journal in the form of list making. I also love to clean and organize and bake, specifically bread. Thank you for making such relatable and amazing content! It’s not easy sharing your life with the world, I’m sure. You’re wonderful and I adore you!

[@roxalanab1365]

Hi :) What do you mean by "journal in the form of list making", can you elaborate on that? xoxo

[@Namesasheck]

@@roxalanab1365 yeah! So I usually keep all my lists in one book because it’s just a great way to keep all those racing thoughts together! For example, instead of writing out in paragraphs why I’m anxious, annoyed, upset, etc. I title the list “things that annoyed me today” and then I list those things. Sometimes I find certain things come out that I wasn’t expecting or didn’t think annoyed me. Another example, I title the list “why am I so angry right now” and then I list all the reasons I can think of and in turn I end up finding out things I wasn’t aware that I was angry about. In conjunction with those kinds of lists, I also write counter lists to the negative ones. “How can I let go of this anger” or better yet “what can I do right now to help me feel better?” “What’s something that used to work in the past to help with my anxiety?” I’ve found that writing lists like this with 1) the negative thoughts and then 2) the positive actions I can take, has helped me understand what i deal with on a day to day basis and that helps me in the overall process! I hope this made sense! 😅

[@kmac23]

your videos have been such comfort and inspo for me because I’ve been coming out of an episode and seeing you do all these things inspire me to do more. It reminds me of what living life can actually feel like, depression often rids me of that joy but I know I’m capable. I’ve been rewatching ur old videos too and it just comforts me knowing I’m not alone experiencing this and trying to get better. thank you for sharing your journey with us reese lots of love, you are a kind and strong soul

[@singingsarah8133]

Hey Reese I feel like we’re been on this journey with mental health together!! Watching your videos made me feel like I wasn’t alone, and I’m also doing a lot better now :) it’s possibly just seasonal depression vibes, but still has been nice. Thanks for posting and being my internet bestie!!!

[@helenatube]

struggle has been the name of the game lately so this video helped a lot, ty 💜 also these are all the very exact things that help me minus the pets bc i don't have any, but even watching pet videos or hearing my friends talk about theirs really comforts me

[@kyra8138]

Something to note that not a lot of people talk about but you can't exactly cycle sync when you're on the birth control pill

[@basicallyreese]

that’s very true! i have to do more research into cycle syncing while you’re on BC (i’m not on it so i haven’t looked into it)

[@anesiphoposwa14]

I love you, Reese. That's all. Tnx

[@roziestubbz]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@philomena8919]

I love seeing you so happy ❤ do you know if the cycle syncing works if you’re on hormonal contraceptives too? Because I heard cycle syncing is only for „natural“ cycles… also, could you share the pumpkin bread recipe please? 🥰🫶🏼

[@basicallyreese]

i’m not sure about cycle syncing while your on birth control, that’s something i would definitely research more! and the recipe is in the description!

besides from some prozac!😂😂😭😭

[@kwiatekkwiatkowska2526]

Brillinat. I love your content

[@MeditationWithAmber]

Reese! Thank you for destigmatizing mental health and taking medication if you need it. One mindful habit that I've adopted over the years is to pick a tree or plant that I see often and each time I see it, I observe how it has changed since the last time I saw it. Paying attention to the changing seasons helps me feel more connected to the earth and the 🌟passing of time 🌟rather than being stuck in my head. Love your content and can't wait to see more!! 💗💗

"a freshly baked warm loaf of pumpkin bread... what else does a girl need besides some Prozac?" if this is not the best quote i don't know what is

I appreciate you sharing your life struggles with us and advice and examples because sometimes you just need inspiration. Love your videos ❤

[@anisaromano5352]

In the words of Becca Bestos (?? some funny bitch on Instagram who I follow) "Congratulations on your happiness." I really DID like this style of video. If you took us on a walk with your dog, I would like that also. Something I got taught as a teenager, that I totally rolled my eyes at but it actually helps is: 1. get out of bed and MAKE YOUR BED right away, and 2. open the blinds/curtains to let natural sunlight in.

[@holliesantos3202]

[@keyiih.c0]

the part when you said you have specific uniform like "i dont wanna feel garbage and also i dont wanna get dressed" I call them my "depression outfits" I ahve a couple of long sleeve or 3/4ths cut striped shirts. covered enough to get my shit together without other people looking at me. also not boring like normal t shirts. at the same time dark as my soul on those periods. absolute game changer. also told my co workers about them and they know immediately how to interact with me that day. less brain activities for interactions

[@lindseybarone4841]

I’ve been doing reverse to-do lists for the last 11 years and growing up, my mom always got SO mad as me because she thought I wasn’t holding myself accountable for what needed to be done. However, doing that always made me get WAY more done than having a regular to do list and I always felt such a larger sense of accomplishment. I love this, I had no clue other people did it!

[@sofieandersen5098]

I love watching your mental health videos. Have you read the book “why has nobody ever told me this before” by dr. Julia Smith? Like everything else it is not magic but it makes it more attainable getting better when you are badly depressed (talking from experience.

[@angelburrows3566]

thank you so much for talking about money, I knew about the kind of negative self talk manifesting but I never related it to negative talk about money. It's such an easy thing to constantly say 'I'm so broke' without thinking about the consequences of talking negatively, thanks for the reminder to reframe those thoughts no matter where they come up in life!
