[@UrFavBrunetteAddison]

let me just say i’ve never clicked on a video so quick. thank you for talking about this i know it can be hard to deal with this and talk about this and i’m so glad that you are talking about what should be discussed. you are absolutely amazing and i am so thankful for you and your videos; you never fail to uplift my mood and make me happy. never quit being the amazing person you are. xoxo💓💓💓

[@unapologeticallydanielle653]

olivia SAME!! As soon as it popped up on my phone I clicked it!

[@themissalliecakes]

you are absolutely right. this is a topic that NEEDS to be talked about and discussed more. it is something that more people struggle with than dont. thank you for watching and thank you for your kind words! it means a lot to me that so many people are responding so positively to this video. i am very proud of it and i am very proud of all of you for trying to overcome your demons.

[@samhoover284]

I'm currently in school for Counseling and hearing you talk about your experience with therapy is so good to hear. There are definitely styles to therapy and I'm so glad you found someone who worked for you. This video was so great, Allie. You are such a light!

[@themissalliecakes]

it makes me very happy to hear that you are in school for counseling. the world needs great counselors... especially in today's day and age. thank you for doing so much good

[@adisneygirlsdream6888]

When I was 11 I was diagnosed with major anxiety, due to a lot of bullying & my parents getting a divorce but also my mom has it so it could be hereditary. I suffered with a bit of depression about a year ago, and it comes back from time to time but I think similar to your case, it was caused from all the anxiety. I still have anxiety but I’m working with it by finally having some constants in my life, like 2 amazing best friends and my dads girl friend who has been amazing to me, especially since I don’t have a good relationship with my mom. Just felt like I could tell you that haha but I’m sorry you went through it too, and thank you for this video

[@animallovefest143]

A Disney Girls Dream You're so fortunate to have special people in your life, to help you through this journey. I too, experience a lot of anxiety, I just wake up with it, which is a tough way to start any day. But if you turn on your favorite music, or share time with your pet, go for a walk, you will find that it helps. Its hard when you can't make the time for those things, cuz of obligations, but I just remind myself that I want to feel great, that I am special, and I inform the people around me that I'm having a bad day, so no one takes things personally. And I'll do any one of the things that Allie mentioned, as soon as I can. My prayers are with you, sending you love, and strength, and a release that allows for more extreme high days! Xoxo

[@jenniferholmes6601]

A Disney Girls Dream I hope you are okay now and I understand what you have been through/ going through xxx

[@HeatherEarl]

Thank so you much for sharing. My depression came after being diagnosed with thyroid disease at 21. Your whole body gets out of whack. Since then my life has had some major ups and major downs. In 2013 it hit a major low. And being brought up in church I knew God, however I was angry and turned away (because I thought He wasn’t listening when I prayed for my daughter. Turns out it’s ok that she’s in a chair, she’s happy and healthy and it’s OK) so during the low point in 2013 my husband had lost his job, my dad had stage 4 Alzheimer’s. I remember laying in bed thinking I couldn’t go on. And I heard God speak. Literally speak. And that night I surrendered my heart to Jesus. I still have anxiety, but prayer helps me ! I’m no longer on lexapro and learning I can get through those times when I’m too overwhelmed if I just get in a quite room and pray. I walk out feeling like a lion and I’m so thankful for my salvation! Xoxo! Keep being the wonderful you!

[@ambernietupskiscentasmicvi4313]

I love that you shared this!! It really make a lot of us connect with you even more!! It's hard to deal with and knowing that someone we look up to like you goes through this also makes us hopeful

[@gennathompson]

I absolutely love how transparent and open you were. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experience with anxiety and depression. I feel like its something that is always looked down apon and not talked about enough.

[@maddie4golf]

I haven’t even watched the entire video and you have no idea how much this hit home for me! Thank you for making this video 💕

[@macyroberts1845]

Thank you so much!!! It’s so nice to know that I’m never alone in my daily battle with depression and anxiety! I love you and support you in everything you do!!! You are a big inspiration in my life! Sending all my love from KY❤️

[@cheerchick070330]

Thank you so so much for sharing this. You have no idea how much this hit home for me. It goes to show you never know what someone is going through and it truly gives me hope for myself. I will definitely be trying some of these. Thank you again Allison!

[@xoxomichellemclaughl]

Thank you so much for sharing....it’s so true you don’t have to have a traumatic event when you were young to experience anxiety and depression as a adult. I can TOTALLY relate to looking on Web MD too much... Your video helped me 🙂

[@themissalliecakes]

web MD is THE ABSOLUTE worst! ugh. and thank you for your kind words. you got this girl. this is your year

[@animallovefest143]

themissalliecakes I also did the same thing, and now, anytime anyone says look on Webmd, I say... Not happening, I'm going to the doctor lol Not taking a chance of making things worse for myself. Not even for the smallest thing, no thank you 😉

[@sherreejamesreal]

I appreciate this video so much. So happy you made this one. You always seem so happy and positive about everything, so you making this video to show that even someone who is happy & positive can also suffer from depression. To show how you manage it to get through it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 amazing & inspiring Allie

[@leannemarie6567]

Amen! Yes, this, all of this. You are such a sweetie! You have encouraged me to keep talking about my similar experiences,because I also want to just help others in our shoes, even if it's just one,one would be worth it. Thank you for being brave. And blessings on the rest of your continued journey to stayhealthy!!

[@deejoseph3074]

I LOVE that you opened up to all of us about this! I'm someone who, like you, can seem very outgoing and fun at times, but I've also dealt with anxiety and depression my whole life. Thank you for sharing help with those who've dealt with it, but also for showing those who haven't that someone doesn't need to look or seem like someone who's depressed to really be struggling. I adore you!

[@jennyandryan9735]

Allie I was in the same situation. It got so bad it scared the s*** out of me. One people have to realize it doesn’t get better over night, me it took years. My anxiety got so bad I would have to pull off he highway because my vision would go blurry and I would start to struggle with my speech and my body would go numb. The first thing I did was talk to my fiancé about it. Especially when I started to fear the bad thoughts I was thinking. Step two I begin to self teach myself to clear my mind. It was really hard and took a long time to learn and do but now I will only have an episode once in a blue moon vs every other week. Third I begin to tackle the things that set of my anxiety and face them. Fourth I started doing things that made me feel better or made me accomplished such as returning to get my degree, working out, going for walks etc. Finally I am so happy that I am FINALLY after years at a good place :)

[@victoriacarlson6215]

Thank you so much for this ❤️ you’re so inspirational and helpful so thank you so SO much for always keeping it real. Learning to take care of yourself in the darkest of times is it’s own magic ✨

[@michelledegennaro7424]

Hi Allie, I am so happy you posted this video. I found your videos last year during a really stressful time in my life and your videos helped me calm down and gave me something to look forward to. I've had OCD/anxiety/depression since I was VERY young, just like you. It's so nice to hear someone else's story and know that i'm not alone. Thank you

[@Liz-sd5ns]

New subscriber.Was researching Disney tips and found you.So glad I did.You spoke to my soul!All the things you were talking about,I have felt/gone through since January.Thank God it has gotten a lot better recently but still a struggle every day.Thank you so much for opening up like this.

[@xoXcrazinessXox]

Thank you so much for this video! It’s always refreshing to know you aren’t alone. I’m going to take your suggestions and work them into my life. I have generalized anxiety disorder and like you have anxiety for no reason sometimes. Then my brain likes to come up with a reason for me to then fixate on. It’s a horrible and vicious cycle. I really appreciate you posting this. Love you girl!!

[@christinac3279]

i relate to this sooo much and thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏼it’s an amazing feeling once you get over that unexplainable period where you don’t know what’s going on until it all goes away , and the sky is blue again and you realize it was just anxiety/stress and you gain the strength to persevere and overcome..its amazing what your mind can do- stay strong and always remain your positive happy self! ❤️

[@allisonzyck40]

Hi Allison, thank you so much for making this video. I started watching your channel about six months ago, which was also around when I started dealing with a lot more anxiety issues. I found your videos are very relaxing for me and I like to watch them when I'm having days where my anxiety gets really bad. I've personally done several of the things that you mentioned, and I can agree that they definitely work. I'm happy that your doing better, especially since your channel has helped me so much.

[@jennybates1584]

Allie-Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your experience with us. I have also dealt with anxiety and depressing as a adult, for me exercising & writing down all my thoughts helped me so much! There are so many helpful and positive resources to help you. I know that everybody is different , but knowing that there are people going though the same thing and talking about it helps so much! Sending you love and light. xoxo

[@imromero6599]

Hey, Allison! I'm usually too busy, but when I saw this video in my subscription area, I instantly clicked on it. I would of never thought that you would go through something like this, and you don't deserve this! No one does. I hope you feel better. I understand what anxiety feels like, and yes, you are not alone. I am so sorry that you have felt this way. I will watch this video very often. Thank you for making this video and thank you for telling so many of your followers and more 😊

[@juliarose4553]

Thanks for sharing!! I struggle A LOT with my anxiety and it caused my depression. I have OCD and bipolar depression and it does alter my life massively. I used to cut to deal with everything and I’m glad u made a video about this! Love you Allie!! 💕💕💕

[@queenanneboleyn]

I also appreciate what you said about finding the right therapist. That is SO IMPORTANT. The first person I went to made me feel awful and didn’t know how to question me in a way that worked. Then she basically said to me, “You aren’t doing enough. I can’t help you.” I walked out of that office, and it took me forever to be comfortable looking for someone else. I’ve had two people since then that helped. They both figured out how I needed to be spoken to, and it made all the difference.

[@sandilargent4585]

Thank you Allison. I am 68 and have struggled with anxiety and depression since I was very young. It's comforting to me to know that there are other people that suffer from this condition. When I had one of my worst moments I was almost hoping I had something that could be treated, removed....something physical that could be explained medically. People who don't suffer from anxiety and depression can not relate to what we're experiencing. They can listen but they can't relate. You have some very good points and I appreciate the information. Thank you.

[@mariacommisso5781]

its amazing how strong you are, i can relate to you just been a rough year THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL

[@alyssabeck6436]

Thank you so much for this video, Allie ❤️ I have been dealing with anxiety and depression for the past six years or so. For some reason, this particular time of year has thrown me for a loop for the past few years. I tried opening up to a friend about it last year and it didn’t go so well so I really struggle with asking for help. Your videos help me to not feel so alone. Thanks again ❤️

[@amberreedy1960]

Thank you so so so so much for making this video. You uploaded It in a perfect time frame. I have had a very very hard many years. No one ever to talk to , to understand. I had cancer as a child and so everytime I went to talk to anyone they make it as I'm just crazy. No one takes me serious. My spouse started to see something was wrong, I own a horse and I have been riding almost daily for 15 years. I quit riding my horse. I didn't want to ride . Was a light for people around me to notice it before I did.

[@kellybarber7901]

the reason journaling works is that when you are anxious, your mind is racing and you are trying to remember all these things you are worried about. by writing them down, your mind thinks "okay its written down now I cant forget it" and you can relax. for example, i always feel also like i have all these diseases and im thinking about which "symptoms" i have and how its possible for me to have them etc. by writing it down, your mind doesn't have to keep rehearsing all the details over and over because now that it is written down "you wont forget"

[@Isabella-vm3ir]

Kelly Barber I agree journaling helps me soooo much with calming me down

[@themissalliecakes]

Wow that makes so so much sense when you put it like that. Thank you so so much for commenting and putting this into perspective for me ♥️ sending you virtual hugs !!!!

[@kellybarber7901]

happy to help :) journaling has helped so much i recommend it to anyone I know that needs it

[@bee_couture]

Great video! I’m in school for psychology and so many of the things you mentioned are so important and actually helpful. Thank you for not being afraid to say medication helped you- it helps many people! Stigma and shame around mental illness and therapy needs to end. I’m glad you are feeling like your true self again.

[@nicolenoleduran1574]

Allie! this video arrived in the moment I needed the most, I had a super sad weekend dealing with anxiety and basically making big decisions, like you said anxiety is that one moment where 1000 thoughts comes at once with all possibles and terrible scenarios, leading to uncertainty, sadness and thinking everything will go wrong no matter what; thank you for making this video! so so much, what helps me is painting, i am starting to work out as well and setting small achievable goals, little by little to get to the big one and basically forgiving myself for any mistakes I made and allowing myself to do things wrong from time to time cause it's ok, lots of hugs from Peru!

[@lydiamartinez8571]

You sharing this video about what you are going through helps that I am not the only one dealing with anxiety and depression!❤️👌🏽

[@SieSieCosplay]

I am extremely happy to have you post this video! As I right now am dealing with depression and (never before) anxiety. Having a very hard past two years of epilepsy I just have had a tough go and I have had no idea really how to deal with anxiety. I mean throughout the past 6 years of having epilepsy I’ve dealt with depression; but anxiety...I just have no experience. So thank you very much for this video and I may even try to share this with a younger friend of mine who is dealing with some EXTREME depression and hope it can help her out as well. So thank you very much again for this and I hope you continue to do well with your troubles as well. 🙆🏼‍♀️💜

[@etloo14l]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been relapsing lately and have cried every day for the past month. Just hearing all these things again gives me hope I can get back out of this place. You are always such a joy in my life, it’s gives me hope to know someone as amazing as you has gone through the same stuff. If you can, I’d like to talk to you, but you are busy so no worries! Thanks again for sharing, I really needed to hear this.

[@rachelfearn7500]

Hi Allie, thank you so much for making this video. I struggle with bad anxiety and this was really helpful- I have some big exams coming up which is a major trigger for me, so to know some more coping mechanisms is always really helpful for me. Once again thank you for sharing, seeing others share their experiences and how they have coped and gotten through the rough patches makes me feel like I'm not alone, and that I can get through this. 💞

[@ali103070]

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for putting up this video. My daughter has anxiety and I just went on meds for depression. I'm so glad you put his up for everyone to hear, its ok to ask for help. Also, NO ONE should ever go on those dang self diagnose websites, they are truly toxic to anyone. Thank you for telling the world it's ok to go to therapy, it's ok to go on meds, that you need to find what works for you and not think there is a stigma attached to any of it. I applaud you for being so strong to put this out there about yourself, and reaching out to others. We all need a little help from time to time, and with the right combination, we can make it through anything. Especially if you have your mouse ears on! (Sorry, I had to).

[@totallydisneydreams3950]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and tips. The more people open up about depression and anxiety the less it will be kept in the dark. I speak from experience.

[@lindsnickobri2592]

I love watching your videos and hearing you talk about something I can relate to is amazing. This really helped me because lately I’ve been feeling super anxious, so thank you! :)

[@heymichelleb]

You are so strong my girl!! I also deal with anxiety and occasional depression so I thank you so much for this video!! Love you❤

[@paperclipxoxo]

Thank you so so much for this video! I can't express how much I needed this right now. I have pretty severe anxiety that (for personal reasons i won't get into) I cannot go to any sort of therapist or doctor for as of current. That being said I have been slowly getting less and less sleep at night bc if my anxiety keeping me up and I am excited to start trying your mindfulness meditation. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video and help others

[@MissTee91]

Allie. Thank you. I was in tears watching this. I've never been formally diagnosed with anxiety or depression, but I know that sometimes my mind takes over and stops me from living. My family don't really understand it, and that can sometimes trigger off worse attacks, but listening to everything on here has given me some food for thought. I'm definitely going to try some nighttime meditation, and may look into doing more crafting too 😊 so thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts, story and tips so that people like myself can deal with anxiety in a safer way 😘

[@queenanneboleyn]

It is amazing to me how many of the KZbinrs I watch have been “coming out” about their struggles with anxiety and depression. Now I understand the group of people I’ve chosen to watch... We have similar interests, but we have also been through very similar mental issues. I appreciate you sharing this. I’m currently decently medicated but occasionally have really rough days or a seemingly random panic attack. Hearing from other people about how they’ve dealt with things really helps me stay healthy.

[@paigemyspaceLOL]

i have struggles with anxiety & depression almost all of my life, i’m staying vague but i’ve dealt with mental & physical abuse almost all my life, & it’s only made mental health more challenging. thank you for this video. i’ve tried multiple different therapists & had problems with each of them still waiting for that good fit that you’ve found, tried medicine as well but really struggled finding a good fit with that as well i also didn’t have a therapist there to help pick out the medicine for me so maybe that’s why. i tried zoloft & prozac. i’ve been journaling since 2016 & it helps when i’m awake alone at night without anyone to talk to or ask for help from anyone. especially when i’m having a really hard breakdown. it keeps my mind off of it. i find candles to be extremely therapeutic, the smells & the light they bring is extremely calming. this week alone has been extremely difficult for me. i just sort of feel stuck. i appreciate that there are people like you out there making videos like this. thank you.

[@brookecroff7166]

I love you so much and I’m very proud of you. You’re so strong and brave and I’m happy to call myself one of your supporters. Stay strong, Allie!

[@themissalliecakes]

[@a.r.w376]

[@ginacastaldo7932]

Thank you for talking about this. I felt like you were describing my story it’s insane. I can’t remember my first panic attack because I was so young. I was the same with my depression. I remember calling my boyfriend at the time crying constantly. With the amount if followers you have this is such an incredible thing to do to open up to so many. 💓

[@kaitlynr4768]

This video is perfect. My friend is going through similar things right now, and I sent this to her. She found your suggestions very helpful! Thank you so much for make this Allie 💓

[@Silkenpetal]

Allie, I am so grateful you made this video! I understand a life lived with depression and anxiety, it is so inspiring to hear about your struggles and how you deal with them. Your smile makes me smile, I hope you can continue to make such wonderful content.♡

[@themissalliecakes]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@MeShell2290]

Hi Allie, I just wanted to say that I relate to this video so much. I have experienced anxiety and depression on a very similar level. I too thought I was dying of everything imaginable till I came to terms with the effect my mental health was having on my physical health. I also waited way too long to seek help from professionals, but it definitely changed my life. I have been recommended and tried nearly all these strategies. All of these things saved my life in one way or another. This advice is well worth taking everyone! Thank you for making this video!

[@brittvh8396]

im so glad you made this video and Im glad I watched it. It really helped me get ideas on how to break out of this hole that Im in. thank you soooooo much

[@ashleywolff8394]

This is such a great video. I don’t usually comment on KZbin videos, but I watch all of the ones you post, and they make me so happy! WebMD is the absolute devil, and is such a trigger for me whether I’m already feeling anxious or feeling normal. I’ve learned music helps me so much. I have a special playlist with the songs that always make me feel understood, if that makes any sense. Congratulations on overcoming that dark part of your life. It is NOT as easy as people think it is who have never been there before.

[@onlyinurdreams70]

This video had such weird timing for me. I've been feeling like I'm at a really low point emotionally and this helped so much. Thanks for sharing! I generally love this channel for the Disney content, but this was a perfectly-timed change in pace for me 🙂

[@gabirela9]

i struggle with anxiety and depression on the daily and I am on lexapro with no end date currently. This just helped me so much with knowing even people as perfect as you struggle with things like this. Much much love to you and much Disney magic- I'm going with my sister (and it's our first time going just the two of us!) in 32 days!!

[@briannaduffy8599]

Thank you so much for sharing this Allie. It’ll help more people than you know!❤️

[@ajpreclaro1608]

Allie, I found your channel through the magic at your door box openings. I'm a fellow Disney nerd who has dealt with anxiety & depression his whole life. But I clicked on this video because I just needed to know I wasn't alone. I can honestly vouch for everything you've discussed in this video; especially as someone who was in special education all throughout school. My special education teacher in highschool really got me to see the beauty of journaling and exercise. I still keep in touch with her to this day. She knew I was a brilliant writer and told me to use that as a coping mechanism. She also had our spec ed class do yoga in the dance studio once a week. I was a little skeptical about it at first when an actual instructor was brought in to teach it. But when she took over the sessions herself, I felt a lot more comfortable and saw that it really helped clear my head at the end/middle of the day. When all else fails, I turn to my love of Disney films. Happy endings have yet to fail anyone, am I right?

[@haleylangley2886]

I love that you made a video like this , such a real problem . Love your videos !

[@beckiestacy29]

Thank you so much! I was just talking to my doctor about this subject. This video has definitely helped point me in the right direction.

[@maevepanich3456]

This was a such a great video! I don't have depression, but I have anxiety and I am constantly stressed out with everything going on around me and I've never really known how to calm myself down or how to stop stressing out about the small things that I shouldn't be stressing over. This video really helps though!

[@queen__karina]

I've been seeing my mom go through so much anxiety and depression over the last year and she refuses to do anything to truly help her...she also has that pride about not seeing a therapist but I really wish she would. I am going to be sharing these tips with her and hope that she will make an effort to find her truest purest form of happiness, I hate seeing her go through this. Thank you Allie, this opened my eyes to a lot more things I didn't know would help someone facing these things. Stay strong and thank you for sharing your experiences and how you dealt with them. 💖💖💖

[@mrsf6868]

You are just like me and it makes me feel so much better to know that. My health anxiety at times has been off the charts. I had ended up at the doctor multiple times for a piece of mind. Thank you for sharing!! You are so relatable and a ray of sunshine for your viewers. You are a beautiful person inside and out.

[@Isabella-vm3ir]

Ashleigh Firman agreed she’s so kind and caring!

[@phantomvideowatcher]

Thanks so much Allie for this video!! You are so brave and strong to share all of this with us. I think these suggestions are great even for those who don't have anxiety or depression. These are awesome ways to live life better.

[@adventuresbydouglas]

So crazy you posted this today, I struggle with anxiety and too have been googling as my eyes are bothering me, worst thing to do!!!!!!! Oy! I needed to hear you today!!!! You spoke to my heart, i have good days and bad and although not all your methods work for me, i know what does and ive slipped on them lately!!! Thank you... New day brings new hope and new start... ❤❤❤

[@leaclark3917]

Hey Allison I’ve been through the same and one thing my therapist did with me is to make me write down 25 things I like about myself and if you can’t do it on your own go talk to your friends and loved ones to get them to help you. It was really hard on my own and I was at university so no family around but I went and spoke to my boyfriend and all our friends and I took my list with me and they helped me to write it and I felt a bit shy but good at the end when you can see written down every positive thing. For me I had everything from kind and loyal to great knitter. Loved listening to you today I’m home alone and crafting which is a thing I love to do and you’ve made me feel like I’ve got a friend here with me :) xxx

[@cassandraschramma8223]

Watching this with tears streaming down my face. Thank you.

[@Megansings01]

I’ve never commented but I just wanted to say thank you for this so much. As someone who struggles with both of these, listening to this was so helpful. I’m so thankful for your transparency and willingness to share! You’re awesome! (It’s so great that you’re a teacher because I’m sure you are making such a different in your students’ lives!)

[@themissalliecakes]

Megan Sebastian First and foremost, I am so sad to hear that you are dealing with some demons as well. I am sending you positive vibes for a very speedy recovery. Secondly you are absolutely so welcome. This is a topic that people need to stop brushing under the rug. This needs to be talked about a lot more. I really appreciate your super kind words. This whole entire comment thread is the reason why I started KZbin in the first place. I am so blessed by all of you and I’m so blessed to be able to share my experiences and read up about all of yours as well. We are all a lot stronger than we think ♥️

[@pauline8547]

Thank you so much for making this video. I have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life and it is so hard to find someone who understands what I'm going through

Hi Allison! You make such GREAT content! I absolutely love your videos!

Also on a different note how did the kids like the slime?;) stay strong girl! Xoxox

Thanks for such a great video and being so honest! So many people deal with anxiety these days and it's hard to get through it sometimes. Another suggestion is to stay away from the news in any shape and form. The news can really bring the day down! Everyone is awesome and to anyone dealing with anxiety, be patient and just jeep swimming! Life is beautiful and you DO have a purpose! Find what makes you calm and happy and find joy in the little things! :-)

Thanks so much for sharing!! I know exactly what you mean about the thoughts totally consuming you mind and body. I’m so lucky that I have a strong support circle that help me when I’m anxious. ❤️❤️

Hello! I just want to thank you. In November i lost my little brother to suicide. I had lots of anxiety and depression. I didn’t handle it well. I started to talk to someone and they helped. I just want to thank you because you videos have helped me get our depression. You love Disney as much as i do. I love all the diys you do and i have done a couple already to help me when i need to get out of my head and do something that makes me happy. I would love to meet you one day! Thank you

[@kaitlynserpa2755]

Allie I love u so much! I completely understand where u were those years ago I was diagnosed with PTSD after I married my husband and being with a service member I developed more anxiety than I already had I refused to leave the house and one day I went to a therapist and he helped me leave the house again and enjoy life again then he passed away unexpectedly almost 2 years ago now and now I'm feeling lost again. I literally just cried watching this video knowing how true this video is.

[@patriciamachado6498]

Ms.Allison thank you for this very " on time" video. Bless you for doing it and sharing an important and personal topic! I pray God will hold you closer to his heart......☺️♥️🙏

[@vvnicholevv]

Yes yes yes! I love this video, thank you for making it!

[@suzannehunt2986]

I am so proud of you for putting this video out there - I am sure you are helping so many people by doing this!! I am an extremely bubbly and happy person, so it shocks people to know that I have anxiety, and it always helps me to hear of other people with my personality type that battle with it as well. These are great tips, and I’m so glad you’re doing so much better!!

[@themissalliecakes]

thank you so much. this is probably the video i am the most proud of creating. I was so happy to upload it. i am so happy that people are responding so well to it. thank you again for your kind words. i am also sending you positive vibes and virtual hugs

[@suzannehunt2986]

Thanks so much, Allie!! Right back at ya!! ❤️

[@nashpadilla2795]

Never thought how horrible anxiety and depression would be...its so hard and painful. I feel so lonely and alone. And I have no idea why. So thank you for this..truly needed it.

[@klayne00]

Thank you for making this video. we love YOU.

[@alely99]

This video gave me a boost motivation to do better and feel better. I've had depression and anxiety for such a long time and found this video quite relatable. I've also had therapists that didn't work out for me at all, one of them tried a tactit that ultimately made me feel worse about myself and resulted in me crying, like???? But I'm glad that at least two of the ones I've had did a pretty good job in helping me. Thank you for sharing your advice and experiences, they were informative and helpful ❤

[@brittanywirth89]

Hi! This video is incredible. Thank you for sharing this! Such a gift. I haven't been feeling like myself for awhile now, and this video gives me hope that things will work and help. Thank you!

[@christinahunter8907]

So glad you did a video on this 💕 xx

[@bridetobe628]

Hey Allison! I never usually comment, but I wanted to THANK YOU for your honesty and transparency. Although you may receive negativity, please know that this video can help so many people and I believe it will MAKE A DIFFERENCE in so many lives. You’re amazing, and I’m praying for you and Adam and the success of your channel! Xoxo -Carly

[@katesommerville7217]

I think you are a brave woman. People just don’t realise how it is, no rhyme or reason. You are being very logical in your way of speaking. WhT works for you doesn’t work for e.g me. We should never have to apologise as we don’t choose this. As you say, there are any number of ways to cope. My thing is, do what you need to to get through. I still don’t like to admit the depression but I shouldn’t feel bad. So, Disney does help but it’s not the total answer. I tend to internalise & am my own counsellor. I’m a common sense, logical thinker. Anyway, I have my goals & dreams. Life goes on ❤️

[@katiecook7049]

Ur not alone girl I couldnt even go to the doctor because I was so embarrassed about having depression but im definitely glad I went my doctor was really knowledgeable and she was so understanding. Depression is something that weights u down but everyone needs to know that ur not alone. :)

[@MC-qq5ol]

thank you for this, i have been struggling with anxiety so much lately

[@ericar]

I've suffered with anxiety and panic attacks and colouring books really helped me. I also used meditation, the Headspace app was amazing that helped so much x

[@gracekirk1922]

That was an awesome video! Thanks for sharing your story & suggestions. I have a chronic illness, & have been sick with other illnesses these past few years.Because of it all, I fight anxiety & depression. I know that deep dark depression that you talk about. I felt like Alice falling down the hole. Besides your suggestions I find prayer which is a form of meditation helps me. I find if I can do something for someone else it makes me feel a bit better, even if it’s a prayer or giving someone a warm fuzzy. I have a gratitude journal. I have gone back to read it or write in it again,it makes me feel a bit better. Humor & laughter helps me to get through the challenges of life. I talk to my close friends & they have been a blessing. My husband has been my rock. I have a wonderful family doctor who helps so much. Since I have been bed & housebound, I have joined support groups online which have been a lifeline. I can also say joining some Disney groups has helped as Disney is my happy place. So talking Disney makes me feel better It’s so important to find those little things that make you happy & smile.Surrounding myself with things I like to look at always give me a lift. I hope these added suggestions can help others.

[@ciara2766]

Thank you so much for saying that you have nothing against people going on meds. Depression usually boils down to a simple chemical imbalance in the brain (when not related to a traumatic event), and there is NO shame in taking something to help balance that out!! I hate people who tell you to just exercise and get over it when a lot of the time you need to take meds in conjunction with all these other things to start the healing process.

[@merritthays8384]

Thank you for this Allie ❤️❤️❤️

[@ColumineMiette]

[@TheDANI211]

I needed this, thank you!

[@lisaturner5586]

Thank you for this video Allie!! Really needed this

[@taylorlynn2624]

Thank you! This video has helped me the most with on what to do to help me with my anxiety. There was one day recently where I literally cried all day long and didn’t eat at all. It was the lowest day I have ever had. My brother even came and dragged me out of the house to go walking at the park.....all I did was cry. It was like everything I built up just came pouring out that day. My grandma, my mom, my aunt all have depression and anxiety. My mom and grandma take the pill. My aunt is a therapist. I’ve just have to find a way that helps me and I haven’t quite found it yet. I believe your video will help me find a way. And yes web md is the devil lol
