Everyone always says "seek professional help" but has literally no idea the reason most of us are here on KZbin is because the waiting time is months or years or we cannot afford it 😔

[@bubblysoul1734]

Truly Not everyone has the resources

[@SometimesIdream333]

I think it’s most likely because licensed professionals have to be careful for liability reasons. I think they feel obligated to say that.

[@PK-nf3jg]

Although I'm a true introvert, I've noticed how beneficial it is to have meaningful interactions with others. Afterwards I somehow feel re-calibrated!

[@ElinLesser]

Totally! :)

[@reyne8424]

Sounds nice :) I get really energized, and than fall even lower when I go back to being alone at home. I've never been alone until a few month ago, and I hate it. It's so freaking lonely. I guess I really am an extrovert.

So much of medical mental health advice online feels so out of touch with how difficult it actually is when you're in it, but this video wasn't and I think it's already starting to help. Thank you so much for the compassionate and informed content!

[@amma7244]

Thank you! I’m a family therapist just headed back to work tomorrow and not feeling energized for the level of need. This was helpful got me up and moving and crunching retirement numbers maybe I need to work less. 62….probably about time!

[@ehchan1995]

I had no idea you had a PhD in clinical psychology! I would love to hear more about that

[@ElinLesser]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@katherinevoskressensky3260]

I’m happy to have found your channel! Thank you for posting these practical, calming, and beautiful videos🕊

[@mariaangelicachuaozaraga9165]

Thank you for this video. Even though I’ve watched videos or read/heard from other sources some or many of the things you mentioned, it’s still good to be reminded of these things from time to time. More power! You’re channel is a blessing.

[@KC-gu6bi]

Thank you! Great video! I'm feeling hopeful again that I can turn things around for myself!

[@rz5909]

I always look forward for your videos, I helps me on every day of my life, Thank you for all you do

[@caitlinjt1972]

Thank you! I needed to hear all of these things

[@kellym5669]

Wise words. Sometimes all we need is a bit of guidance, positivity and compassion from others.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Thank you so much. This was very interesting and helpful.❤

[@angelgirl2257]

Great video n to the point ☝️ that's just what we needed.x

[@ElinLesser]

Glad it was helpful!

[@daisyrowaro44]

Thank you really appreciated this video. Much appreciated.

[@Sophie-kn3gh]

Love your videos!

[@ElinLesser]

Thank you!

[@freakishchick182]

Thank you for sharing these :)

[@ElinLesser]

No problem 😊

[@ryeu8154]

thank you for this. this is so clear and i feel like i can possibly do it. thanks for the advice. ❤

[@yvasquez2449]

Definitely i want to be alone all the time…I don’t have energy to be with other people. I can expend days on my own without talking with anyone. I know this is not healthy but I can’t find the energy to change it.

[@cruisingwithcaptaincliff]

After retiring from my US military career, I have been in a rut. I have good care from specialist. However, it's nice to have supplemental help DIY that you can watch and take notes on your own. Taking hike/walk really helps to be in the moment, and also traveling/cruising for me really helps. While serving, I didn't really do selfcare, and now I can just watch the ocean when dining on a cruise or watch the view on top the mountain after a hike which I thought then was lazy and non-productive:). Thanks for this video.

[@Dermatillomaniac]

I hope things have improved for you and you are settling into your new chapter gracefully.

[@athanasiapipiki8182]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰💝 for all this list of tips, they are really so helpful and very well organized ☺️💓🥰😻 It's so easy to go through them each time one feels like it🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸

[@corinna_maybe]

Brilliant 💕 I feel like each single piece of advice warrants a half hour video for itself 🙉😅

[@anxiouscutie]

Thanks for the video! I dunno if this is terribly relevant, but I think I'm in a financial rut. I'm on a fixed low income every month, yet I keep buying things I don't need in order to feel happy. I know this kinda has to do with minimalism, which would probably benefit me! I dunno if I want to be a minimalist though, because I have hobbies that are the complete opposite. Anyway, I keep running out of money pretty quickly and it really contributes to my anxiety and dread that I feel around money every month. I want to work on spending less, especially in the beginning of the month. As well as finding things to do in the community that don't involve spending money. I'm gonna watch some of your other videos now to see if I can learn more about that! Thanks again, sorry this is so long. 💗

[@rcz2023]

Thank you

[@zomalfa4363]

My life has been in a rut over 10 years now.

[@MarianaFerreira27gatoslindos]

Hi I used to have depression but would still enjoy singing and dancing now I cant...Could you make a video on anehadonia and how to get joy back?:)

[@minookalantari]

Merci

[@JasmaeBlinks24]

Thank you I need to figure out how come my actions are not going well

[@Beerkittenz]

I’m shocked that most stressed was a senior superlative category in your school!

[@ElinLesser]

right???? haha

[@AsrifYusoff]

Great content and subscribed! Would love hear what you think of my grad school channel. Thank you.

[@daviddrogden]

I have to disagree with 90% of this.

[@BugsyB1979]

Well, what are things you suggest then? I'm genuinely asking.

[@lee32ful]

Greedy on the ads aren't you

[@veg2489]

Girl no offense at all but it's really trashy to throw around your degree.

[@ashleybailey1631]

It's trashy to give your credentials for talking about a topic?

[@Lotusblume.8]

🤨

[@marylynnstallings4958]

No offense at all but ???

[@katfromdenver]

Would you rather listen to an "influencer" with absolutely no formal education or experience with the topic? She's stating a relevant credential 🙄

[@sadiemaxfield7566]

Its related to the video- i would rather listen to a PHD in phycology than a random person or influencer
