[@ahamomentzwithanele9227]

My daughter introduced me to your vlogs, I'm 40 and so absolutely love you

[@FayeBate]

Awww so happy you’re daughter brought you here!!! Very happy to have you as part of the community 🤗

[@manaraabdelgadir9755]

nursing student here... in the hospital and being asked to decide a nursing diagnosis or even just understanding what's going on with my patient is absolutely crazy, don't even get me started on understanding drugs and their contradictions. You dont sound ignorant at all Faye, you basically summarized what its like being a student moving from theory to practice! I love you so much, take it one day at a time

[@KatieSimmonds1]

I’m a nurse too and totally agree! A big learning curve but it does get easier Faye xox P.S Nurses are you friends and will help you out 😜

[@loving60s]

please do not worry about nursing diagnoses, i can reassure you that no one else on the healthcare team (other than other nurses) cares about them

[@gracetheleopard7483]

Usually a silent subscriber but really wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your videos. Compared to most content creators you show real life and are so honest! This really is a positive way of using your platform ❤️❤️

[@schokojulee]

Just saw that you still call yourself a medical student in your description. After those exhausting weeks it might be a little reward to change it

[@jessicawhittle8305]

I recently started my first "big girl job" and I've also been feeling the same as you. I'm not a doctor but I still felt like I expected everything to just click into place and I watch others at work that are more experienced than me just know what they're doing so naturally and for me it feels so overwhelming and scary!

[@rafiabdullah4204]

Incredible editing as always ❤️❤️❤️ miss u so much hate u not being 3 flights of stairs away🥲

[@marryamakbaar3014]

34:28 living alone is rough 🙌🏻 hit the nail on the head ! The Biggest Struggle of Man in 2023 !!! There's no balance= either we are overwhelmed or lonely !!

[@user-ob2po5tc6e]

It’s honestly been so beautiful watching you grow and transition into becoming a doctor I remember watching your KZbin channel in the beginning as a second year med student and now your a doctor!!!! congratulations 🎉🎉

[@moyege9782]

I’m not even a doctor or do anything medical related but I love watching your videos !!❤❤

[@KT.C1007]

My word, your channel is fantastic! I am about to be a 40 year old Pharmacy Student in the USA - I love your vlog. I can relate to the lack of sleep, the loneliness feelings, and just spending a whole day eating/napping instead of...well getting things done - due to lack of said sleep. I also work full time on top of all the other things. Nice to see I am not alone. I wish you the best on becoming a wonderful doctor!

[@maryem8004]

It's so nice to watch someone go thru the same thing, you're doing great ily

[@shalomonyenekwe8695]

First ! You’re such an inspiration Faye! I love you so much and you’re going to be an amazing doctor ❤

[@jas_313]

You’re doing so well! No journey is linear in progress and nobody figures things out or settles in right away - I think you’re doing amazing and I hope the past week or so have gone well🤍

[@rebeccafox1420]

I love the videos Faye! Your absolutely smashing being a newly qualified doctor! I’m about to embark on my third and final year of my undergraduate degree in teaching, and just love watching your channel and seeing you grow. Just know your smashing life & your doing amazing 🧡

[@vickyk2209]

Cracking vlog Faye! Glad you managed to pull yourself out of that dark hole of loneliness. I always found trying to keep a loose routine helps me on days where I'm on my own. I have set things that I have to do every day and it makes me feel better knowing that even something got done. Those things are my non-negotiables! Hope you're having a better week! x

[@careygorden4039]

I have been watching your channel for years and just wanted to say that I am so so proud of you!

[@philasandemsibi2334]

You are so amazing faye. I'm pretty sure you'll figure this out and get through it❤love and light

[@insanelogic9471]

A very important question to ask yourself Faye is , if there were no social media or platforms would you still be a doctor? If your family were not bothered whether you worked at a grocery store or a hospital would you still choose medicine? If your heart's desire is to not practice medicine there are so many other areas which medicine can bring you to such as research, public health, anthropology etc. It takes courage to admit when something is not for you. Go where your heart is called, for social media is limited, and will one day be obsolete. I hope whatever you choose, that your heart may be strengthened. xx Sometimes our ego must be bruised, so our heart may become full.

[@noraaa8479]

I know this message wasn’t for me but I really needed to see it.. just like Faye I’m a new doctor and i feel like I ruined my life choosing medicine in the beginning and I feel so lost like what do I do now, where do I go from here?.. really wasn’t the feeling I expected after working hard for 6 years.

[@insanelogic9471]

​@@noraaa8479 I'm sorry that you are feeling lost, if the message speaks to you it is for you also. What you must acknowledge in this, are the skills and growth you have gained rather than what society deems as "failure". Sometimes we must experience what we do not want, in order to learn what we do want. You are resilient, dedicated, and have acquired invaluable life experience, no one can take that away from you. You only have one life, and one chance to find what your heart calls you to. Life is about making a difference in what we are called to do, rather than resentfully fulfilling the expectations of other people and society. You need to rest and take some time for yourself. Please look after yourself, you must help yourself first, then you will know, but your world around you must be silenced in order to hear your heart. Please remember, we also live in a different world from what we did 6 years ago xx

[@ByFaithCOG]

Thank you so much for this - medical student who lives alone in a studio here and I found living alone last year so so difficult. This has shown me/ made me realise that to be honest all I need to do is put some effort in to see friends 🙂 so grateful I watched this because not only did you talk about your problems you gave solutions that made me feel that I could actually progress from feeling down - which is something I definitely need. Thank you Dr 🙂🙂🙂

[@Talkingg]

I recently moved from my small home town to the city and I’ve never felt more alone. Thank you for voicing what some of us can’t :)

[@andreacullen770]

Faye I feel for you so much. Great and honest vlog as per usual. I think routine is key…also scheduling ‘something’ in the calendar is also key. Be it going to the coffee shop, visiting with a friend, doing some shopping, whatever…. Just getting up and into your routine ( bath, dress, eat, exercise, whatever it is) then on with the day…. Sitting doing nothing is okay of course… once the other stuff is done. I’m retired and have the same sort of issues….. so structure for folks who are used to school or working or …is key. ❤❤

[@lauras9411]

i really appreciate your honesty and vuonerability about your relationship with food. thank you x

[@luciarosa505]

Being SO productive on the days your working is going to make you naturally need a rest on your days off! You are doing so amazing tho ❤❤❤

[@izabellamolloy9487]

32:32 actually had me creasing ngl😭amazing video again faye, u have my utmost respect for being a doctor and still giving us such quality content! thank you ❤

[@aieksandrinamarvakova4935]

Starting "being a doctor" in november in France, i have been following you for a few years now and absolutely love your vlogs. I can sooo relate it's crazy, hope it gets easier in some ways 😭

[@emmaboyle3155]

I am a student nurse and just finished a placement in cath labs, i never would have chosen that but it was amazing! I'm glad you're enjoying cardiology!

[@Abifabs]

I’ve just seen your previous blog has hit 200k views that’s amazing Faye congratulations! Loving these weekly blogs they are so fun to watch. Ps your sofa looks so comfy, will be perfect for a post shift relax - looks like a cloud! Xx

[@setarehshadabi340]

currently studying pharmacology, hoping to take the GAMSAT next year, you motivate me so much because I see you keep going even when your exhausted, lonely or have had enough. keep going Faye you've got this!

[@neurodivergentdawn]

you have got this Faye. ADHD is bloody hard. you are doing amazing xxx

[@EruditeYT]

Thank you so much Faye for being so transparent about your experiences! ❤

[@carlygreen2293]

Subbed this morning after seeing your ADHD tips video and I really like your channel! Perfect balance of aesthetic and *real*. Plus I've always been super curious about the seemingly hectic lives of drs and the like. I hope you can maintain your channel (if you want,) and stay healthy and happy! Praying for you to be blessed with good company and the feelings of home this winter season

[@Kam-go3bc]

When you're really well staffed, of course everyones gonna be really nice and friendly haha. Part of the reason people are rude and horrible is because they are at their limit and super stressed. Also, if you have teaching you don't "give up" your lunch break, you should still have a break in addition to that.

[@Lucy.10]

As a nurse when you were talking about being well staff I thought you were going to say the Q word!! 😂 Love following your journey Faye, congratulations on everything you’ve achieved so far xxx

[@Volsman5150]

Your an absolute beauty!! Congratulations on becoming a doctor!! Love your channel and love how bubbly and gorgeous you are Faye!! 😊😮❤

[@Nonaaa105]

hi faye 💕 I’ve watched your videos for years, you’re such a wonderful person , you are such a motivator for us, sending you love from Oman 🇴🇲💕💕💕.

[@jillyferdinand130]

i only found you recently and i was so excited when i saw you uploaded. you are such a beautiful soul and it’s nice to watch your journey (this is my second video😂)

[@WhatMattMakes]

Faye I’ve been watching you since your Dubai vlog! I’m not a dr but I work in healthcare and just love your content!

[@darrenreynolds6077]

Bless you. This week looked hard and tough on you mentally and physically. Hopefully the weeks start to get more manageable. The next vlog you'll be telling us you have plenty of friends because you will be making a vlog from inside a prison as you are pleading innocent to the murder off Dylan for leaving you on your own. Take care, good luck and have fun. You are going to smash it being a vlogger and fantastic Doctor

[@jenestallings1728]

First, I love your channel and your energy. I am a nursing student and I understand the process of going from student to professional. Being lonely sucks and it's hard. When you became emotional and cried, I did too. I know that making friends in a new place can be both scary and awkward, but it gets better. I would definitely be your friend lol. Your channel is wonderful and real, and I appreciate it.

[@carlybenarbia9193]

Thank you,lovely vlog and interesting to see how your first week went x

[@natureangel33]

I know that editing and working is a lot so I want you to know how much I truly appreciate that you do that for us all! You put so much effort into everything you do and I love it ❤ also side note, I have to wear pajamas in the house too haha, I am not comfortable in regular clothes in the house

[@izabela1035]

Love the quality of your new vlogs !!!

[@v.47]

I really understand that you expected it to be easier. You worked your ass off in med school to get some sort of relief. But you'll get through it!

[@beatricesekula-petukhov2352]

I just wanted to say how much I love your Vlogs!! 🫶🏻 I’ve been binge watching all you content for the past week and watching all your wholesome videos just puts a huge smile on my face 😊 I wish you all the best of luck in your new life journey!! 💪

[@marryamakbaar3014]

Keep Your Head Up , Faye ❤ You've seen Worst 💪🏼💪🏼 You'll do great things 😘😘 in life .. With loads of love 🙏🏻💖

[@LemoniestLemony]

I have been really lonely recently. I love my own time and space but I do miss being around other people, which is why I have changed jobs and am trying to make an effort to see friends and family. Seeing you cry made me cry.

[@amandagrose1195]

Ive only recently found your vlogs and you are a ray if sunshine. Im a procrastinater too.

[@Lily-xx8qn]

Been here right from the start & I am SO of you Faye!🥹🫶🏼 I start my paramedic training a week tomorrow! Xxx

[@gst7409]

Really enjoy your vlogs Faye. Your doing so well. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Very motivating & inspiring X 💕👍

[@bethancurtis2833]

I am watching this vlog on one end of the sofa and my bf is on the other and he gave me such a started look when you said "my LaAAmmP" 🤣

[@jayde3077]

Omg Faye ❤ my daughter is second year Med School- I hope you have a good balance x x

You're doing ✨amazing ✨ Dr. Bate! 🥇

[@amberstiffler7985]

I’m so glad I found your channel

[@marryamakbaar3014]

Balance is the Key, to a healthy life! Solitude is necessary for a person to reflect and think and grow! It's not that bad, after all. Everything has its pros and cons.

[@ollie-may255]

Love this video Faye

[@Joana-iy1uy]

Omg the intro was iconiccccc

[@lisabernard1797]

Fairly new subscriber and I love your videos Faye. You are so likeable and down to earth. When you mentioned going for an eye test, I got excited because I'm an optometrist! Do you need to wear glasses? I have a feeling you are living and working fairly near me (I am in Kent, near Bexley) but 20 years ago I went to Uni in Cardiff 😊

[@joana6688]

Love your videos and it’s amazing how much effort you put into your videos alongside working full time, but have you thought about perhaps interviewing/hiring a editor with the same editing styles that you have? It’s just suggestion, but it might lift the stress from you a little bit x

[@hubbadaisy3]

your literally my biggest motivation ever!!!😊

[@FayeBate]

Aww that makes me so happy 🥲💖

[@hubbadaisy3]

@@FayeBate no worries! 😊 i wish you all the best in life through all the ups and downs 🙌🏼

[@kellytyler5164]

Yeah, Faye - I LOVE LOVE LOVE adding Kraft Garlic barbecue sauce to baked beans in tomato sauce (I don't eat pork which is why I don't use baked beans with pork). Honestly, I don't like baked beans any other way. And on toast, of course. And I keep forgetting that I have chicken wieners because I also love beans and wieners. A must try - II swear to God!!!

[@davesworklifevlogs]

Busy women your always on the go 😊

You could feel alone in a crowd, Keep your chin up sweet. ❤

[@ilarian4062]

i enjoy these videos so so much ❤❤

Truffle crisps 👌👌

[@selinaross3625]

I love the brutally honest voice over at 3:25 - it made me laugh so hard

[@tonisnell8206]

I think you are wonderful! Be good to your nurses… I’m one lol. Love from America.

[@FayeBate]

Of course!! My mum was a nurse and the nurses on the ward Im on at the moment have been so supportive during this transition time, so much respect for nurses 💖

[@noraaa8479]

Such a weird thing to ask

[@Miss_Annlaug]

I want to give you a hug girl❤

[@Raycarlaxo]

Omg I’m the same, as soon as I get home I have to wear pjs

[@megan-ub5od]

where is your blue pj set from i love it!

[@lisasjournal]

It would get easier. I hope 😅. Anyways, always rooting for you ❤

[@taybee42681]

Same with the beats I have the ear plugs and thought they took a special charger and kept buying the wrong ones and then after 5 months I tried my iPhone charger and it was the right fit😂

[@gracerussell1036]

Where is your white collared polo vest from pls?? love it

[@jezabelpagan4797]

Hahaha when I saw the apple with the « cuasont » I felt like, there is no way she is making that healthy haha but she did.

[@jamieshough2791]

I’ve never heard of putting beans on toast until now 🤯

[@thatgirljane2489]

Loool “even if you feel alone there’s always potatoes🤣🤣🤣

[@haileyramirezbolt9707]

hi i just wanted to say you are absolutely gorgeous, but also in the first video clip where did you get the lavender/blue pjs?

[@KatK18]

Where do you buy you pjs? They are so cute.

[@ovardmelchior20120]

Can you talk about the strikes in your next video and explain what’s happening?

[@alysaschmerber5280]

Please link your pajama set from the very beginning of the video!

[@ugm1dak]

Better to outsource editing if you're struggling for time. You'll make up for it with more output.

[@user-hx3do7zh6o]

Omg where did you get those purple silk pajamas?? ❤

[@SReignite]

The dry saliva mouth trigger warning was much appreciated lol

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

What are you putting on your scalp and why? ❤

[@r_duaa]

Her Faye! I'm a yr 11 looking into being a doctor in the UK too but idk what to do because idk if I'll get good enough GCSE grades to get into Manchester uni but idk if I should look into unis further away from home. Do you think if I do T-Levels, apprenticeships or something like that I could still get there or near to being a doctor ?

[@mathildehickman4696]

you absolutely could, universities hardly consider your GCSEs and even if you don’t get into medicine the first time you can do medicine with a foundation year (which has lower grade requirements) or could even do another degree and then do post-graduate medicine xx

[@tryingcat]

hi!! i’m in year 11 and looking to do medicine too

[@natl3118]

Where is that silver pijama set from? 😍

[@keyj.7755]

Are you able to get an editor to make things easier on yourself?

[@zayedsharma6416]

Wow Linda .i like you ❤ from India 🇮🇳 Tripura State

[@virginiafry9854]

As a medical practitioner, I think you need to reassess your priorities - KZbin should come way after your health, as you need to be fit for the hard year as an intern!

[@Penelopescloset]

If only you could sneak the camera into the ward 😂 😭

[@nabukeeragerminah3695]

So when you reach work do you first shower ?@Faye

[@jeremywall4913]

Get a little kitty Faye... it will be there when your home from work and keep your mind more busy😁😘💜💜

[@clare.conservation98]

Hey gal, I don't comment much but if you need to get a editor, even just for a rough cut, to avoid burnout, there is absolutely no judgement here 💁

[@Miss_Annlaug]

Ps Im 40 yrs oldand just started my medical secretary studies❤

[@nataliaobeidat4878]

Even if you are alone there is potato 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@realrobbiemc]

does anyone know where her pink coffee thermos looking thing is from? I really want it lol

[@FayeBate]

Chillies ☺️☺️

[@kellytyler5164]

Oh, and I have been meaning to ask you what happened to your friend, Ravi is it? He is an absolute mute and I really miss him. He seemed like such a good friend to you. Did you cry buckets when he, your roommate and you had to say goodbye upon your graduation?

[@forrealtho-zb9zg]

ok I love your vlogs but I just can't get over how much you look like meaghan martin!
