Honest Life Update and Girly Chats... Get Ready With Me

[@TokenTupperware]

Been an OG subscriber since you were reviewing fabletics hauls, opening boxes with a kitchen knife, wearing Adidas NMDs and capri leggings, side parting your hair, and coined the terms "when in doubt dab it out" and "fit tip with Whit"... Your OG subs aren't going anywhere Whit. Sending love and prayers to you! Winter is daunting to many people but we can get through it!

[@mckenziealmers2224]

YESSS the kitchen knife 😭🤣

[@TokenTupperware]

@@mckenziealmers2224 so aggressive for no reason 😂 I love her 😭

[@saraasmallss]

Hahah this unlocked so many memories for me.

[@carlyhampton]

Amen! Me too! And from a time where things were being thrown across the room haha and Whit was all about the shoulder boulders 🙏🥰❤

[@meriematrache6355]

The kitchen knife and the throwing was sooo funny 😂

If people tell you you’re too glowy that is part of their own personal, crusty journey and they can keep that to themselves. Glow on

[@mal1078]

100%, looove the glow if you love the glow whit💛

[@caldowning]

Hahaha

[@saragiles6255]

I am a licensed mental health therapist, and I just wanted to say how brave it is that you openly talk about these things and you encourage others to not be ashamed as well. And you encourage us (and me) to work out which is so important for our mental health. I hope you feel better soon ❤️ I’d like to think that sometimes when we go through a depressive period, a piece of trauma is coming up/resurfacing and being released. So you are releasing something. So after this is over, you may feel a little lighter.

[@kenziraelyn8509]

I feel like that is so true!! 💛

[@ludrizyy]

this is beautiful 🤎

[@intentionalliving7326]

Appreciate that perspective… its releasing ✨

[@mileymbclimb17]

Everytime I binge her videos I am the most productive throughout the day. My house is clean laundry is done and put away. Worked out. Ate healthy. Etc. I just love her energy

[@vi78175]

If you do not find joy in doing Whitmas, we will understand! Your health is the priority and Whitmas will still be the name of the season even without the 12 videos!! ☃️

[@kylahatfield9993]

I second that!!

[@samanthahughes3023]

Agree!!!

[@kaylagraham8225]

This! 🙌🏼

[@coutureloxo]

Totally agree. We need Whitney to prioritize her mental health. Maybe you could just do like 1 video a week during December or something. Something more manageable? Whatever you choose to do I am in full support!!

[@saraasmallss]

Agreed! What if you just post when you’re able to?

[@_joannahans]

My favorite quote about seasonal depression: “A flower doesn’t force itself to bloom in the winter, so neither should we.” Good luck Whit! You’re not alone in it I promise! 💛

[@jackiegannon9179]

I LOVE this, thanks!!

[@rachelgessner816]

Oh thank you so much for that quote

[@cdnrook]

I love this.

[@laurens9071]

Okay what about “Whitmas Wednesday”!? Every Wednesday before Christmas do a video so theres only 4! Even if you don’t do it we will still love you girl 🤍🤍

I second this, commented something similar!!

[@tessa3260]

This could work! I love the idea🥰

[@kaylaamonett5559]

This is so fun!!!!

[@lilly4617]

That's an amazing idea!

[@samanthareinke7842]

I love this idea!!

[@paxtonreed1613]

It totally broke my heart when you said you don’t feel worthy of the opportunities you have such as with your Gymshark collection!!! I could not think of a more worthy person to have the platform you have, and I think your messages on taking care of ourselves and our physical and mental health are so important and so helpful to so many, including myself!! You are amazing and are deserving of every opportunity that comes your way!! Love you girlie!!

[@lindseyhavniear4548]

Whitney you are SO DESERVING. They don’t make influencers like you, your godly soul is so visible and bright that there Is no one as deserving as you. We love you and are so proud of YOU

[@AmberMeade]

I just adore you, Whit. I took a long walk with my dog yesterday and listened to your podcast episode. I just wanted to reach through and hug you the entire time. You’re so genuine, so authentic. I’m sorry it’s been a rough season. Sending sunlight your way, always. ☀️

[@intentionalliving7326]

🙌🏻 amen sistah ✨

[@toricannella34]

yes, I suffer with severe anxiety, depression & ocd and i always have that “somethings coming” feeling and while yes sometimes something DOES come, we can’t let that re affirm our warped thoughts. happiness is unfortunately fleeting so I’ve been trying my best to soak it all in and take life ONE DAY AT A TIME. it sounds very simple but it’s hard…

[@Shaee]

I just watched your podcast episode and usually I never comment or anything bc I feel like it doesn’t make a difference. But after that episode I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your positivity and content. I use Alive everyday for my workouts. You’re the reason I started working out and your gymshark line is my DAILY fit because it makes me feel so good about myself. I struggle with SEVERE eczema all over my body and I always think about how strong you are when I feel like I can’t do anything to make my flare ups better. I had to drop dairy, gluten, soy and eggs and felt so defeated when my skin wouldn’t clear up. But then I watch your videos and I see you conquering so many things all while struggling with mental health. You are such a phenomenal woman and I hope your journey with mental health is nothing but up from here. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@hannahfort7608]

This is precious 😭 sending you love 🤍

[@jacybrazil816]

Thank you for being so open. Depression is the hardest thing to deal with. This past year for me has been really hard. The weight gain and learning of my PCOS diagnosis that I can barely get out of bed.. I can barely brush my teeth. But just known im not alone helps.

[@yvettefigg1428]

Skip Whitmas this year girl! You don’t need the added stress. Your mental health is SO much more important than our entertainment. ❤️

[@mellazzara553]

I really don’t understand how anyone could hate on Whit, she is literally the most wholesome, pure and kind soul 🥺💗

[@intentionalliving7326]

🙌🏻 yes! There will be those who can’t hold the space… and it ok. There is plenty of those who do ✨✨

[@laurencorbett3239]

Affirmations and CBT have helped me tremendously dealing with negative thought patterns and processing emotions. For anyone reading this who struggles with depression, anxiety, or mental health: You are not your thoughts, you are the observer of your thoughts. All my love 💖

[@hannahskedsvold2643]

YES CBT FOR DAYS! I do an app one for chronic pain but I know there's other apps for CBT for anxiety and depression and its way more accessible than a CBT therapist - especially since health care professionals are slammed right now.

[@reeses4madi]

I haven’t been sleeping bc my depression and such has gotten so much worse, I read that mental health quote you shared and I can’t tell you how much that helped. Thank you for sharing that, thank you:)

[@jessifote1908]

I’m 34 years old and have recently been diagnosed with ADHD… AT 34!!!!! All the issues I’ve had my entire life stem from that and once I figured it out it was literally like you said. A 50 lb weight was lifted off of me. I’m still struggling with how to deal with things and going through therapy and taking medication, but I’m learning. I was also diagnosed with anxiety disorder and it all just made so much sense. So I feel you, sis! Love you! Praying for you! We will make it through this!

[@CatJourney198]

I think I’m in the same boat. Do you mind sharing what’s worked for you so far?

[@jenw1116]

I was diagnosed with ADHD a month before my 34th birthday. My whole life up to this point is suddenly illuminated. Meds have helped heaps. And also not to be cliché, but yoga and meditation helps me heaps. Getting enough sleep and eating good food have helped my meds work best. Google assistant and calendar, keeping a bullet journal, setting up reminders have been awesome. Also, telling people around me has helped with them and helping them to make allowances for me. Good luck, hope this helps 😊

[@samruetman3427]

Just listened to your podcast and I respect that you didn’t say anything on anything until you were in a good place and had professional help. I am so glad you’re here and alive today. You’re such a light to others but you can’t fill others’ cups unless yours is filled first. Sending love 💕

[@beinfinefeather205]

The worst thing about depression is finally opening up to someone and they say, "what do you have to be depressed about!?" The worst! So glad you have so much support in this community.

[@Elizabeth-by1fx]

Whitney! You are such a light. When I was going through depression and couldn’t get out of bed your favorites videos made me laugh out loud laugh and you probably know, when you feel that low how much it means to smile and laugh! So thank you for being you and bringing some laughter and joy to peoples lives. Also I deleted my ENTIRE Instagram and I can’t tell you how much it changed my daily life. I know that’s how y’all make money but maybe just something to consider in the grand scheme of things ❤️

[@missrebeccajean]

Can I just say that I turn on your videos when I am anxiety ridden and can’t sleep at night and I’m out within 3-5 minutes … not because you are boring but because you are so calming and genuine and it’s like a friend talking to me . You are so funny and so calm all in one . Thank you for being you we LOVE YOU !!!

[@gracebolen8926]

Witnessing your growth over the years has been amazing to see. It's a beautiful day to be alive, Whitney! The world is better with you in it.

[@BubbleGoose0613]

As a person who has also been diagnosed with anxiety and major depressive disorder, I commend your ability to be so open and talk about it especially online. Some ppl can be so cruel and insensitive. You're amazing and strong and an inspiration to so many ppl. Keep up the amazing work! 🥰♥️

[@caseyhadad9837]

Also, girl! I feel you. I was diagnosed with social and generalized anxiety with agoraphobia about a year ago now and have been medicated ever since. There is no cure for mental illness and it’s not linear. You’ll still have bad days/weeks/months even on medication. I find that sharing my journey and building a community has helped me so much. I definitely feel less alone, and it feels amazing being able to help people too. Proud of your for getting the help you need; that’s a really hard thing to do!

[@Katrein]

hey, I wanted to add, that mental illnesses are not incurable. There might not be a thing you take that makes it fine but there are ways to feel good again (chronic illnesses by definition excluded - though there are things to make it more bearable); so, to anyone reading this, don't think there is nothing you can do, because there is. Therapy and a good doctor/therapist etc. will help you figure out the best way for you.

[@meagan_g]

As someone who’s been battling depression for 10 years, my heart goes out to you. Wishing you healing and happiness. 💖

[@nicolecmoucheron]

I haven't seen the whole video yet, but I just wanted to say that your voice is freaking gorgeous, I love when you whisper, it emphasizes what you're saying and gives it a little umpf. You're gonna be okay through these colder months and take the time you need for when you're not, you got it and you're awesome. ✨✨💚

[@Ashley0415]

I just listened to the podcast and I am so glad that you’re still here. I was in tears listening to your struggles and you are so brave to be able to talk about these things to an audience. I have been following you on KZbin since the beginning and you have given me so much motivation to be my best self and I started going to the gym because of you. Whenever you feel that you need a break for any reason take it - you don’t owe anyone anything and your mental health is the most important. Thank you, Whitney for being such an inspiration and such an amazing human being ❤️❤️

[@Free123mee]

I haven’t watched a video of yours for a couple of months now and to see u this happy and to see u be this transparent is magical. I tear up hearing ur words because I too have had those thoughts and I’m so glad u didn’t give in to them. You are an amazing human being and ITS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE ❤️❤️

[@keishlas8783]

“Do not worry, do not worry, we are working on not worrying” LOL I love seeing mental health work being used in real life, it’s refreshing to see and reinforcing as a counselor ❤️ you’re so brave and beyond worthy, QUEEN 👑

[@katyclasen4672]

My depression has also gotten really bad over the last year. Feeling like " why am I here!" Always helpful to hear other people's stories.

[@madisonsimms1193]

Whitney, I can't thank you enough for choosing to be so vulnerable, open, and honest with us. Through your podcast and videos, you have truly made me feel less alone. I know there is so much negativity in this world, but I hope that you can truly see just HOW many people love you, support you, and think the world of you. Thank you for speaking out regarding mental health, you are not alone. I am thinking of you, and praying for you. You are such a light to this world! I hope you truly, deep down, know that.

[@madisonsimms1193]

I also absolutely ALWAYS sing to myself when doing make up "when in doubt, dab it out" OG Here

[@nka82]

That feeling of impending doom is common for people with anxiety and depression (I was diagnosed in 2013). Be gentle with yourself, it takes a while to start having more good days than bad and that's when you know you're on the right track. And setbacks are common too. I am sorry you're having such a rough time with everything, I hope you only continue upwards on your journey of recovery! Xoxo ❤

[@emeraldwalsh7721]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE GIRL!!! People who mock struggles with mental health or really any beautiful human being living their best life just showcases their own unresolved pain. Thank you for speaking out and being honest!!! it is seriously so encouraging.

[@juliayantsides159]

OH! And yes I was one of those people who got your collection with GS for the first time and LOVED everything and went back for more. I was so happy and pleased with the amount of stock. You and GS killed it this year

[@tiffanylamo2550]

I haven’t read the comments so I’m not sure what the popular decision is hereeee but I just listened to the podcast and came straight into this GRWM. Please for the love of mental health don’t do Whitmas. We love you, but we love you more when you are happy and healthy and if whitmas ain’t it, it ain’t it sis!! 💕💕💕

[@carolineswabey9888]

I listened to your podcast episode and you blew me away with your honesty and reality. I can't understand anyone in this world that can't find you to be the most positive, kind, beautiful (inside & out) and inspirational person ever. I purchased many items from your gymshark collaboration and you were so right about how they make you feel and I have never felt this way before wearing gym clothing. Every item I bought is so super soft and no-one has ever made anything like that and as soon as I put these clothes on wow I turn into a different person so much confidence and sexyness. I thank you for being you and forever be yourself! ❤️❤️

[@chelseateoni2242]

I’m 20 and iv dealt with anxiety and depression all my life, recently I’ve been very depressed and it’s been really hard so I can totally relate to how your feeling. I hope your mental health is able to improve 💕

[@amandaatkinson8639]

Oh but Whit, you are SO WORTHY of all of this. You were put on this earth to let your voice be heard and to spread the word that “It’s a beautiful day to be ALIVE”.

[@chiknlittle]

I think something that’s so great about the KZbin platform is that there’s plenty of people to fill every space. So when it comes to Whitmas, girl when you said it’s hard to enjoy the holidays when you do it… breaks my heart because the holidays are my favorite time of year! So if YOU can’t do it, it’s okay, we will all be fine because there’s plenty of other awesome KZbinrs out there doing similar videos, and that’s fine too :) Do you girl!

[@sadeperez1391]

You Whitney Simmons are such a light! I have followed you for like 4 years now. You’re videos make my day and they teach me so much. Ignore those people on social media that come across so evil, they are upset because you shine and they fail in that area. You just keep being such a positive light! YOURE GORGEOUS! 💖 love you girl

[@LucyGem98]

I completely understand when you talk about the anxiety of waiting for something to happen. I felt like that too when I was dealing with mental health stuff. It's hard, but eventually you learn how to 'drown out' that feeling. I think it comes down to living in the moment instead of projecting into the future. Honestly if you feel like it's going to negatively impact your mental health, PLEASE don't do Whitmas. We would love it if you did, but I would hate for you to feel crappy doing it and possibly cause a setback or 'relapse' into being that low again. We love you Whit, keep being you my love💜🌈

[@vanessaborja1597]

I have been watching your videos for years and have never gotten tired of your GRWM's! I love your positivity while still speaking the truth about your personal struggles. Your videos always bring me a sense of comfort and joy!

[@taylorlaverdiere2463]

Hi Whit. Thank you for uploading and being here. We all need you. You have so much purpose. I loved this video and I’m so with you this fall winter will be a struggle with the darkness so so early in the day 😭 i seeeeeee your comments back to people so so constantly on here and Instagram. 400 comments? Nothing for Whitney to make 800 comments because of all of your love to reply back to everyone! No. One. Like you. I really hope your doctors appointments i really pray it gives you some relief with helping the flares. You’re stronger today than your thoughts. You’re such a light. Lysm lysm!!

[@CaliMex09]

You are a bright light! Anyone trying to mock that has some serious issues themselves. I am so glad you took the time to take care of yourself! We love you!

[@StaySpicy]

"She's here. She's proud. But I'm gonna tell her what's up when I shave her". 🤣🤣 That's amazing. Girl, I don't even care about makeup but I always watch your GRWM. I've been watching you since day one! I'm sorry you have to divulge every part of your life for people to understand. You're allowed to have privacy. I'm happy you're able to address what you're going through with a therapist. I know that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. My therapist told me instead of viewing my emotions as a flood, think of it as gentle leaves falling. Let it fall on you gently, acknowledge them, and wait for it to pass. Idk if that helps but I thought I'd share. Also, I'm SOOOO happy to finally get my hands on your Gymshark collection! I got the pink tank top and the yellow sports bra! Who knew I'd be a yellow wearing person? They're so soft and comfortable and they make me feel amazing!

[@FefiPG]

never NEVER say you are not worthy. The energy you give is beautiful! That's worth a lot. You've got this and we've got your back, always!

[@MegzGMissMeganne]

I just listened to you on the Fleurish podcast and I just want to say, you are a bright light on social media. you are the only fitness/lifestyle influencer that makes me FEEL GOOD about myself, my body, my mood etc . DO NOT CHANGE for people who are jealous of your happiness- they are trying to steal your shine so that you are as dull as them . We love you xx Also, your supposed 'vocal fry' - a crack in the tone/register/speech when speaking can also be a symptom of anxiety. (think Gigi Hadid who has said her voice is shaky because of anxiety) but also I have it and soooo many people have it. The french OWN it , they make it hot af. Again, never change xx

[@praisegirl1127]

I have been dealing with anxiety and depression disorder my whole life. Since I started watching your videos years ago... I always loved how bubbly you are and that would instantly change my mood and motivate me to keep trying my best. You are the reason I fell in love with weight lifting. I still wear your little make up pallet you did with tarte pretty much everyday. And wear my “It’s a beautiful day to be alive” hat to the gym to motivate me to keep pushing. Whitney you have changed my life. It makes me sad that people can hate on someone so beautiful and bubbly. It’s a dark world and they just try to drag you down with them but don’t let them, they are just jealous of your success. I get so excited thinking about all the things you have achieved and when watching your update videos it’s like chatting with a close friend while you are talking and in my head I’m just like “Wow I’m so proud of you”. There’s so much more to come...can’t wait to see your wedding video and see you as a mom. Our Whitney has grown up so much ❤️ I too will be getting married soon and plan to have kids right after. So it kinda feels like we are growing together.

[@lynnfetcinko5985]

She always says she's not a makeup expert, but having your final look be that flawless when you were crying is next level skill

[@ruthinatorr]

I think the OGs can agree when I say Whit seeing you get emotional hits different. I feel like for so long you’ve kept up this positive online appearance and seeing you be brave, by being real and raw is so inspiring. We’ve watched you for years to see you blossom into the amazing woman you are today 🥲

[@kenziraelyn8509]

I literally relate to you so much, we’re when you’ve felt those lows you’re scared to go back there so when you’re riding those high waves you can’t even enjoy it because you’re scared of the lows 🥺 I don’t want to struggle with that forever.

[@cindicleee]

You are also such a joy and light that the thought of someone being mean to you or criticizing you enrages me!

[@calliesaxton3853]

I missed seeing you on here and I’m glad you were able to open up and get the weight off of your chest ❤️ Do what brings you joy !! I know my own struggles with post partum depression have definitely shaken me but I didn’t allow it to take me down and it brings me happiness to see you getting the help you need :) It’s not easy but you’re not alone even though depression lies to you and says you are. Love you!!

[@jlc554]

You are worthy of this opportunity. You keep talking about how WE have helped YOU and how WE have supported YOU. But Whitney it is also the other way around. You are such a beautiful soul. Even through your struggles you help so many people. We are all here to help each other rise up. That is why we are on this planet. To help each other. Helping others helps ourselves. What you stand for and what you talk about, the way you support all people. You. Are. WORTHY. Worthy of it all.

[@laurenblair8088]

You explaining how you’ve been feeling/crying was me a little over 2 years ago… I’ve been on medication since and have been better. It’s hard to transition into your new “thoughts/feelings” just know you aren’t alone ❤️

[@Gthanqq1]

Whitney 😭 you are worthy. You deserve this and more. Please don’t let your mind make you suffer twice. If it’s going to happen, it will happen and crying or worrying won’t change it. Right ? Enjoy the moment. It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

[@carolynperricelli8845]

your worries about coming off of your "happy high" is normal and relatable, you'll be okay! try to be in tune to any small triggers that may come up and write them down so you begin to recognize a pattern. in college by senior year the therapist pulled my visitation record and found a pattern in my visits over four years and there were common triggers to my anxiety and panic attacks. it's a small thing that may help

[@AnnaYvette]

Thank you for this video, it takes so much strength and courage to share and to be vulnerable, AND you are so graceful and cute while doing it! Truly an angel!! Also, don’t do 12 days of Whitmas if you’re heart isn’t in it this year, focus on yourself and healing, you already spread so much positivity, love, inspiration and joy to your community just by being you. Sending you a big hug and lots of love Whitney! ❤️🙏

[@sarahgparker]

I feel so proud when you mention your OG girls😌 Also, don’t feel like you have to do Whitmas!! It’s amazing obviously but your mental health is important and those who love you and appreciate you will understand!

Please know, your presence in this world has helped more people than you know. Over a year ago maybe 2, I was really bad mentally. Every time you uploaded I would freak out and watch your videos. You helped me get through such a rough patch in my life and I’m forever grateful for you. There were so many days I didn’t think I’d make it but you helped. Thank you for letting us in and being honest about your journey. I’m always here for you ❤️

[@gillianjohnson4057]

Totally feel you on the depression anticipation thing, I feel like sometimes I bring an episode on myself because I'm worried about it happening😂🙄BUT when you're flying high and feeling good, 100% enjoy it for sure, but when you start to worry, remember things will always return to the mean. Life is not always those wonderful high feelings, it's more often a mixture, or it's good, but not FANTASTIC, but that is OKAY. Like, life is up and down, and when you're feeling great you don't have to worry yourself, because not all "happiness decreases" mean that you're going to be depressed again, it just means you're leaving the euphoria state, which is good, because you cannot function and be healthy in that state all the time, that's mania lol. I feel like when I was hella depressed for so long, my goal was to just be happy, but I've realized the actual goal is to be content. Being able to feel all emotions, good or bad, and just float along in my little life canoe is the goal. Being able to live and actually experience my life is my goal, and I feel like that's an important distinction from "happy". Hopefully that made some semblance of sense❤️

Thank your for sharing your journey. This year has been my hardest yet and seeing I'm not alone has helped tremendously! Also #1 don't do 12 Whitmas Videos - trust your intuition that it's too much.

If you want to take a mental break from social or KZbin or life, GIRL GO DO IT. If it makes it happy or brings you to a state where you’re able to be happy and radiate warmth and joy again, GIRL 👏🏻 DO 👏🏻 IT 👏🏻 Can be applied to absolutely ANYTHING in life, because it’s making YOU happy and that’s all that matters. ❤️

I’m just so thankful you are still here. You inspire me constantly and are so brave! You’ve helped encourage me to get the treatment I need for my mental health. I also feel like you speaking out about how fitness is so important not just for looks can positively impact our younger girls so I appreciate you for everything you do!! I love my sets I bought from your collection and wear them almost daily!!! They are so beautiful and comfy

It almost sounds like SAD (seasonal affective disorder) because I get like this too when summer ends. I absolutely feel like I want to be away from everyone and just wanna curl up in a ball of comfort. Depression is a scary thing, I feel like I’ve been more depressed this year than any other year. Whitney, my dear YOU have every right as a human being to take time off and heal yourself. I have been with you from the start, from eating egg whites to making kodiak waffles, (Which because of you I have journeyed through a plethora different kodiak cake mixes) to trying on fabletics, adidas (I finally got some NMD’s) to hauling gymshark, to becoming a rep for GS, and then a rep for Alanui. Girlllll, you have been through so much! You need time to heal yourself♥️ We all need time to heal ourselves! That saying, “Depression kills” is honestly true if you don’t seek help. Stay strong ladies & gents♥️

[@Mackk_daddyz1995]

Whitney thank you so much for sharing your light and your beauty inside and out with everyone. It makes my heart so sad that you were feeling so low but, so happy you’re sharing your journey with everyone. My sister and I gush about how much we adore you. Please have a Midwest meet and great! Thanks for all you do and share!

[@debstep333]

Listened to the podcast today and it made me tear UP while I was making din din. Thanks so much for your positivity and being so open and brave about sharing what you did. Makes me feel like I’m not alone in the issues I face. You’re beautiful inside and out! 💜

[@emmastopher8045]

I’ve dealt with depression for 7-8 years on and off and hearing you talk about your own struggles is really inspiring and makes me feel like I shouldn’t be ashamed 🤍

[@OzmaOfOzz]

I always talk about my depression, I mean whenever the topic of mental health comes up. With strangers, coworkers, whatever. Some people stay silent, some open up. I've never felt ashamed of it and neither should you, ever! Nobody should ever feel ashamed about mental disorders, it can happen to everyone. Stay strong and shine bright 🥰

[@taylordurrett493]

I just want to say as someone who has being struggling with anxiety for a while now, you are not alone. Thank you for opening up about it

[@yogawithhart]

Girl just do 1 video a week for xmas it's already more videos than we get now so we will all be super excited no reason to super burn yourself out with 12 videos ♡

[@kellimiller8826]

LOVE YOU WHITNEY and when you cry I literally cry...You are our bestie girl and you have worked so hard!!! Your gymshark collection is one of the best things to happen to me this year on the reeeaaaal.

[@michellenewman9211]

YOU ARE SO WORTHY ♥️ I would absolutely love a Whitmas if you feel like you can do it. I’m new here and I’ve binge watched almost all of your videos and Whitmas is so fun!! I would love to be a part of it this year but only if it feels right for you. SENDING ALL THE LOVE.

[@raytayy13]

I love you fluffy brows and all. I've never sat through one of your videos without smiling at LEAST once (usually a million times though). Thank you for putting yourself out there, you've been such a light of joy on the internet

[@cosmetiquequeen5371]

New video means I have to stop everything I'm doing to watch ❤️ And Whitney will you PLEASE, pretty please do a these are my ladies ig reels haul with your Gymshark collection? ☺☺

[@xmakeupismyhobbyx]

I went through a period of 5 years where my depression had subsided and I felt so good. The first of August this year ended that streak for me and my depression and anxiety had gotten so bad that I got help and I was also diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I'm going through so many highs and lows and I am thankful that people, such as yourself, can be so honest about how depression can be such a struggle. And I can empathize with that feeling; a feeling like "something" is just looming there or coming. Take care of yourself, Whitney, even if it is just a day at a time!

[@staceynicolee]

So happy I got to finally catch up with my girl! Just know you inspire me every single day. Literally crying with you and felt so connected through this video! Girl! I always feel so connected and just want to send you so much love to you! I can’t thank you enough for being the greatest light in my life, Whitney! Every time I’m feeling down I always think of you and remind myself “it’s a beautiful day to be alive.” 💕💕💕💕💕 P.s love your glow, sis! Always here for you! 💕💕💕💕

[@haleyherzog1089]

I teared up multiple times during this. It is so refreshing what you share and how genuine you are. Also your skin at the beginning is GLOWING. If my skin looked that fresh I would never wear music haha

[@mallorylaabs]

I'm glad you're doing better, depression and anxiety sucks. I just moved to California from Arizona and my mental health immediately tanked, as if already dealing with depression wasnt enough😒

[@cheyannemarie55]

Moving to a new state sent me into a spiral too. It’s getting better now 9 months later. Hang in there girl! A lot of change at once is stressful.

[@mallorylaabs]

@@cheyannemarie55 thank you! I'm hoping seeing a therapist and psychiatrist will help😔

[@bethanyrobinson534]

I just moved from Arizona to California recently and have really been struggling with my mental health since too. You’re not alone!

[@holly0910]

You are not alone with the anxiety disorder and depression. Sooo manny people out there struggling with it every day including myself! Mental health is so important. ❤️

[@kipriannalutu]

You have something about you with your content that keeps us coming back no matter how long it's been. That's rare ! This is your calling. You are human and deserve all the grace in the world!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH

[@turner0109]

You make me feel beautiful, and sane, and confident. If I can share any bit of the gift you’ve given me with you, I will. you are so deserving of the same good energy you constantly give off, whether you’re “happy” when giving it or not. You’re amazing. as you are. in every stage you find yourself in. and p.s. when you mentioned your mustache, I felt that is my spirit place so I support your mustache movement 😂

[@intentionalliving7326]

😂 sistah you made me laugh out loud 🙌🏻

[@chelseadelarue2816]

"It's a beautiful day to be alive" has saved my life more than you could ever imagine. You rock, Queenie! Keep on shining that beautiful light of yours. We love and appreciate you.

[@intentionalliving7326]

Beautifully put 🙌🏻😍

[@maddiejaneec]

YAS! THANK YOU WHITNEY for continuing to inspire me everyday! You are such a ray of light and I cannot thank you enough for everything you do. They world needs MORE WHITNEY! Stay amazing and LOVE ALWAYS ❤☺

[@kyleashbaugh3816]

I’ve always loved Whitney. My friends called me sunflower for the longest time so her personality always felt familiar and warm to me. But I have to say, this version of Whitney is magnetic. I wouldn’t wish any mental health struggles on my worst enemy, but seeing how much this journey has peeled back so many layers only makes me love her more. She literally makes me want to reach through the screen and hug her. Everything the internet needs and more

[@gazellexo]

Girl, don’t do Whitmas! It’s been a rough year already, just take a break and enjoy the holidays instead ❤️ if anything just give us one video and that’s it! You’re true peeps will completely understand.

[@Might_b_iz]

GIRL!!!! It was all YOU!! Your love, your drive, your passion, you as a person that made it all possible. I don’t wanna hear “ I’m not worthy or feel worthy”. You ARE worthy Whitney.

[@Stepherrr1993]

I’d love to see a collab with Jaclyn Hill since she’s working on bettering herself mentally and physically! That would be a dream! For me anyways. Thank you for always staying true to who you are. ❤️

[@karinaramirez9532]

Ugh girl I just wanna hug you! Last year I would say was the hardest year for my mental health. I had my first baby and went through horrible postpartum depression. I’ve been working on my mental health ever since trying to finding myself. My advice pretty girl is to do what feels good to you. Do what brings you joy. If Whitmas will only bring stress then don’t do it. We love you and will understand you and just want you to be happy. Also during this fall and winter season try to find little things that bring you joy. It helps me get through it. Anything that brings you comfort. ❤️

[@ma_niz]

So happy for you Whitney! I'm so happy seeing you so happy. As for Whitmas, I love it a lot (Whitmas videos are how I found you). Why don't you lower the number of days you film instead of making it long and overwhelming for yourself? Like a week of Whitmas. Like holiday special episodes featuring Whit!!
