Going to therapy has been the most difficult thing I've ever done in my entire life, but it also has been the most rewarding experience. When people say it has saved their lives... It's no joke. It has saved my life. You deserve help, you are worthy of support and the possibility of feeling good and enjoying things again. I love you Kat and a lot of people care about you, you deserve to see yourself the way most of us see you!

[@whitneybousman249]

This is so beautifully and thoughtfully written. 🤍 I completely agree. So many people love you, Kathleen, and are rooting for you!

[@Kalavati.C]

100% agree. Thank you Kathleen for ALLL that you do. Xoxox

[@sandybowers5085]

Absolutely ❤️

[@Ashleyy.Taylorr]

I wish therapy wasn’t so expensive or was covered better by insurance. That’s my only complaint. Because of this, I confide in my mom who is my best friend a lot and many of my friends, as well as my boyfriend. Sometimes the best therapy is an amazing support system. However, I know not everyone has this or prefers something else. I’m proud of you for going to therapy and am so glad it has helped you. 💜

Kathleen, I got to meet you in January of 2020 when I just happened to be in Florida. I told you how grateful I was for everything you share and that I was going to get help when I got home. You told me it was meant to be that we met and you gave me a hug and said good luck. I’m happy to share that I am still here. I got the help I needed and still am and it’s so freaking exhausting and so hard, but I’m here. You are such a beautiful woman and I know you’ll make it through. As someone beautiful and strong and amazing once told me, Good luck!! 🖤

[@biying1995]

OMG I love this ❤️❤️❤️ Girl you’re doing amazing! Proud of you!

[@jasminebrown7696]

Honestly I think the hardest part for most of us was everyone expecting us to be able to bounce back into regular life after 2020. I am an elementary teacher and I can see in my students that many of them forgot how to focus for such a long period of time but the same expectations as before are still there. I think the best thing we can do for each other in 2022 is have some grace for each other and some sympathy for what our friends may be going through.

ive had chronic depression my whole life and honestly the whole quarantine/ covid made it better because made me realize how many of us are struggling regardless of where we’re at in life, everyone become more real, a lot of people started their own business/ found happiness/ and my bf and i got back together and not just for our kids but because we realized we truly are best friends/ soul mates with all the time we had after losing our jobs and family passing away.. it’s all about perspective and we chose to focus on the positive together ❤️

[@onceuponamakeupbrush]

So proud of you for being brave and being open to medication. I feel like it has a bad stigma or we get afraid that it will "change us" but we shouldn't. It just helps us get out of those bad thought patterns and helps us become the best version of ourselves. Sometimes we all need a little help ♥️

[@StaciLeaBeauty]

I have been watching you since I was 13, I’m 23 next month. You have helped me through some of the hardest times in my life, struggling from depression in my late teens I would binge watch your videos just to escape from the real world, I’m proud of how far you have come and I’m so thankful for you❤️

[@chelseaanne836]

Meds and therapy have saved me... I was literally living in fear of everything all day everyday and I have an 8-year-old son and it was completely crippling me because everything scared me. So I got on some meds and I'm doing therapy and I'm feeling much better. There's a lot of support out there. Good for you for being an advocate for yourself. You're strong woman my dear

[@sandybowers5085]

Wonderful advice -we are worth getting the help we need to heal. Being a Mom, you gave your child the best gift of all❤️ Seeking help takes courage- it’s not a sign of weakness but of strength. A blessing for ourselves and the ones who rely on us👍🏼🙏🏼❤️

[@chelseaanne836]

@@sandybowers5085 That's exactly why I did it because I grew up in a really unhappy toxic home and a lot of the reasons why I am struggling with what I've struggled with my whole life... I've had mental health issues since I can remember and it's all about being proactive because nobody can help you unless they know how to help you. And it's okay if your kids see you cry or your partner sees you fall apart for a while. It's a process and it takes time so just know that you are being transparent in your video and obviously you have awesome people here leaving very supportive comments, you can climb out. I always tell myself to not unpack my bags on depression Island. It's okay to go visit for a while, but if I feel like I'm getting too comfortable and I'm going to unpack all my bags especially my makeup bag, then it's time to get help.

[@sandybowers5085]

@@chelseaanne836 thanks you so much, Chelsea ❤️I agree with you, completely. We cannot pour from an empty cup. I think the stigma around mental health is finally going away and allowing our voices to be heard. ❤️Reaching out for help is the MOST courageous thing we can do, for ourselves AND the people we love 👍🏼❤️🥰Thanks so much for your encouragement 🙏🏼There is so much wisdom in your words. I’m looking forward to to visiting that island less and less, and coming to a new place of peace❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rachellumbreras6255]

Just some encouragement for you Kat - the opposite of fear is LOVE. So the best thing you can do (and HECK yes to meds, therapy etc.) is family, your husband, your love for your companies, US your fans...the best thing to combat fear is LOVE. Surround yourself with love this year. Beleiving that for you in 2022 sister.

They made me feel heard, not judged at all and willing to help. It was overwhelming. I got in my car and cried, I felt hopeful for the first time in a long time. I hope you find relief. I hope you find an environment and a person you feel comfortable talking to. I'm sure it would help immensely. Good luck darling. I'll be thinking of you 💛 wishing you all the best!

Thanks for opening up about your struggle with depression. A couple years ago I got married, and like a week after that, I got hit with the worse depression, and what made it so hard, was there was nothing wrong with my life...like I couldn't blame it on anything, but that's exactly what depression does. Your life could be amazing, but with depression that doesn't matter. I dealt with it for 2 straight years, and finally got help, which was the hardest part, but once that help starts working, its the most rewarding feeling, and makes you stronger than ever. Depression is literally the hardest thing to describe to someone who doesn't struggle with it, or understand it. Glad you are reaching out for help!! YOU GOT THIS!! 💪❤👏🙏😊

Hi Kathleen! I have followed you for a few years now and love your videos! It always breaks my heart when you share your struggles. Someone so caring and wonderful to be so hard on themselves makes me sad. I just wanted to share with you that it's ok to be a fixed sign and cautious of change (or a bit introverted!)! That's something that makes you so comfortable and warm for others. It can cause a war on your heart chakra to want to change so much about yourself at one time. Please remember to love yourself, even the things you want to change have brought you to the successful person you are. Remember that you have a massive following of strangers! That is so difficult! You are lovable, special, and relatable. Not to mention the accomplishments you have made in your 20s! There is so much about you to be proud of! Your struggles and how much you strive to better yourself is also worth acknowledging in a positive light. I hope you find the perfect help for you

Christmas just did NOT feel like Christmas this year. It was really weird, and from what I’ve been told from others, I wasn’t the only one. Bad mental health year for me as well. I’ve loved your videos through it all. Love you, Kathleen!

Therapy has been, no exaggeration, transformative for me. I do emdr counseling. Literally best thing in life. Also, I thought I was the only one who has been having aversion of Instagram. Thanks for talking about this ❤️ good luck my queen

Kathleen I LOVE YOU, we all do, and are rooting for you. I completely 100% understand where you are coming from, I have been there myself and still struggle with it. I am a chiropractor, so even as someone in the medical profession I still dealt with that fear too. I promise you if you take the steps to fix it, it will resolve. Don't give up, you got this!

I agree- 2021 was definitely harder than 2020. We got a little more normalcy back then had it ripped away, making it hurt more imo. My 2022 isn't starting off well but I'm hopeful for the rest of the year ✨

[@MsRaindropps]

Big hugs to you! Going to get help is a HUGE step. I was very against meds but wow I feel the difference. I hope you are to find just a bit of relief, you are not alone and positive vibes to you and everyone!

My mum has been through depression 3 times in her. Life and its so heart breaking to see her go through that but with our love, care and attention and of course medicines she came through 💕

[@ambersimpson52]

I get it girl. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety since I was 9. I'm now 41. I've been seeing a psychiatrist and taking meds for 11 years. I feel your story.

[@katemercy]

2021 should have been one of the best years of my life as I bought a house and started a new job but my depression too was.. off the charts. I am prescribed medication and I could not.. could NOT get out of my own way to even take it half the time. It’s so hard. I’m so glad you’re still filming and sharing parts of your life with us! I adore you so much and love your content 💜

[@jackiehernandez5]

Happy new year Kathleen. I think we all appreciate your honestly and vulnerability. I know it’s not the easiest topic to openly discuss but I have so much hope that this year will be full of happier memories and healthy advances for you. Thank u for always providing such a vulnerable space for us. Your fans are here to support you in all the phases of your life. Sending you love!

people close to me suffer from depression so i know you are doing your best to push forward. praying for you in 2022 hope you are in a better mental state, your personality still shines through in your videos. we may not be with you physically, but we are with your spiritually Kat💞💞

[@kailynkoberling5854]

Thank you for being so honest and open about your mental health. Just know you aren’t alone and you can get through this ❤️

Medication has been life changing for me. It helped me to get back to my true self! My self before dépression and anxiety. Struggling with dépression and anxiety really takes a toll on your hormones and brain chemicals so don’t be afraid that medication will change you in a negative way. The right dosage makes such a difference and everything easier to deal with. Especially when you are a uber sensitive person 🥺

[@lumiya_lumos1423]

I really share in how you were feeling throughout 2021 and even though I’m still struggling, I want to make a big change for my greater good for 2022. I run my own business and although I do force myself to get out of bed to go to work and take care of my dogs and fiancé (making dinner, some housekeeping, walking dogs etc) anything else that I used to enjoy doing for myself feels like it’s gone. I don’t do makeup or take baths anymore which used to be a huge joy for me. It’s a struggle just to take a quick shower and keep up with my skincare. All I want to do is stay in bed but I don’t sleep well when I do. It’s a struggle to watch yourself fall out of love with the things that made you alive. I hope we all get back to doing the things that we love and feeling at home with ourselves. Love your channel and love you so much Kathleen!

[@megancrawford5531]

hi kathleen! i have really similar anxiety and depression to you from what i can tell, as do both of my sisters, and the type of therapy that has helped us the most is cognitive behavioral therapy. i’ve tried other therapy for years but CBT is life changing. it basically works on changing the way you think about anxiety and phobias rather than deep diving into your past to heal your trauma. i hope this is helpful and know that you’re not alone! as someone with the same obstacles, i appreciate your vulnerability with us ❤️

[@nataliesiemers933]

2021 was crazy hard! I’ve never felt so lost and I have already had a trip to the ER 8 days into 2022! I can’t survive another year like that so please 2022, be kind! Thank you for using your platform to share when life is just hard and shedding a light(sorry…couldn’t think of another word but hey, if it fits 🤷🏼‍♀️) on mental health.

[@jlkitz1775]

And congratulations to Alamar on the Disney Collab!!! The movie is amazing with impactful messages 👍🏾❤️

[@samantharose8744]

Kathleen, can you please do a tattoo tour!? I would LOVE to see all the ones you have & learn all the meanings behind why you got them & how you decided on their placement. That would be such an exciting video!!! 😁

[@madelinemorgan2437]

Hang in there, Kathleen!!! Thank you for always sharing so openly, it's always nice to know you're not the only one struggling. I recently started up therapy and medication again, and I'm so happy I did. Taking those steps to take care of yourself is the best thing you can do for yourself! 💙

[@joyce_dmd]

My husband always says that I’m the Asian version of Kathleenlights. It’s weird because we do have a lot of similarities. Thank you for being very open about your struggles. I have anxiety issues, too and hearing you talk about your problems makes me feel that I’m not alone. You’re very brave and I admire you. I hope we can both get through our struggles this year. 💕
