So that's the situation. Paradigm shifts are great! I miss reading all of your comments so please please please comment anything down below about yourself. Fun facts, your dog's name, your favorite color. I'm in need of some personal connection with our herd since we no longer have a P.O. Box. ):

I love singing. I sing all the time like when I'm studying, working out.... I'm practicing and learning more about my voice.

[@tbl4719]

The new song of the end of the video is so nice but i prefer the old one 😍❤️ continue to work hard Rachel ,you are the best ❤️ 🌷 i love you from Algeria

We all luv u Rachael!!

[@maddiegraham9430]

Hope you are staying safe Rachel and that it gets dealt with for your mental health as well as physical health. Fun facts I am preparing to move to a different country this month for grad school, while I'm sad I missed today's premier I hope I can be back for the first time in my new home next week ❤️

[@protechdude2163]

Rachel. File a restraining order against that individual. That way you have legal grounds for Police to charge him with stalking and violating the restraining order. Sorry you had to deal with this. Stay safe and try to walk with a friend/co-worker when you are going in and out of the parking lot. At the hospital I’m at, we can request a security escort to walk us to and out of the parking lot. Don’t let this get to you. Remember, Red Ants NEVER let other creatures bother them!

[@P170101]

Hmm.. When did she say “him”

[@katvtay]

@@P170101 “he/him” has historically been used as neutral pronouns. Not so much in recent years, but still not unheard of. (Even the 90s had a trend of making she/her the neutral version.)

[@CoolsBreeze]

It really sucks how one sick individual can ruin it for everyone. Stay safe Rachel. Sry you have to go through this.

[@itspreethikaaa]

You messed up the sentence.

@@ameenh4122 Yep thanks for letting me know. Done :)

[@julieknight6372]

Just because you share a small part of your life on KZbin, doesn't give anyone the right to invade it. You still have the right to privacy and personal safety. So sorry you've had to deal with someone that doesn't understand that concept. Fun Fact: Currently in lockdown here in Victoria Australia, gives me more time to watch as much KZbin as l want. Absolutely love your videos Rachel :)

[@mahimavemuri3552]

It’s a totally invalid argument when people say that you should deal with this situation just because you chose to put yourself out there. We reap the rewards of these videos just as much as you do. putting the “blame” on only u is absurd and absolutely stupid.

[@ataulkarim8809]

Agreee 💯

[@norulesreading]

I see people in the comments saying obsessed a lot. It’s not an obsession - it’s stalking. My sister went through a very similar thing. All throughout high school this individual would insert himself into her life (switching into her classes, finding her on her walk to school, etc.) even going to the same college. This is a very serious topic! As a long time subscriber, I pray that this person/people listen and give you space

[@amberw9467]

I think some people are using the word because she used it. Obsession is often a word used when describing stalking (I’m a psychology PhD student who researches interpersonal violence including stalking). Definitely does not capture all of it, but as a phenomenon that still isn’t completely taken seriously and is therefore a relatively newly criminalized act, people just don’t know how to talk about it but I think everyone is doing the best they can!

[@ishprasad8271]

She expressed more details in her unsaved live on Instagram last Friday (I think that was the day). It is an obsession, the dude expressed that he believes he's in a relationship with her. She didn't go into detail for this yt video (for good reason) but just know that there is more and that's why shes describing it this way.

[@strivern2906]

He’s is obsessed!!

[@katodan0611]

Fun Fact: Today was my last day with my current employer. I have been there 25 years. I am starting with another company so while I might be an older viewer, let me say it's never too late to follow a dream. Take a leap! Favorite color: Blue. Dog's name: Lexi. Favorite Human: My daughter. Favorite Hobby: Reading Favorite Place to Go: The Mountains. I am so glad your week ended well Rachel!!

Fun fact: I wanted to be an OB when I was younger. My life took a different turn and I am now a 32 year old mother of 5, currently in a Radiology Program. I absolutely love your videos. They inspire me and remind me that with focus and determination, I can do this. Thank you!

[@sarah-dk1hr]

Fun fact: when I first started watching your videos, I started nursing school. And now it’s my senior year and I graduate this spring 🤯 you’ve inspired me so much to work hard, take care of myself, & being with those I love. So thank you, Rachel. Never forget that you are making such a big impact on this community in ways you don’t even know. You are an inspiration & I’m so proud of how far you’ve come! 💗 anywho, you are sooo loved & appreciated.

[@psychonaut912]

I had an online stalker years ago and I immediately empathized with your emotions. The violation of your privacy and safety is very real and I hope you reach out to someone you can talk to about this. The level of fear and distress should not be something you have to shoulder alone. Finding and harassing you at school or at home is truly despicable and I hope they catch whoever is responsible soon and put them so far away from you. Be well.

[@rebeccaherrera194]

[@jeandonovan8640]

Congratulations on acceptance of your abstract. Definitely helps with getting in to a good residency program.

[@HelloMoto_]

agh I feel you so so much on this, the fact that you have to say “I think I’m going to be safe” breaks my heart.. I dealt with it for 3 years with an ex, policy never approved my injunction, when I would call them they would take forever to arrive.. and it is terrifying honestly that no one does anything to protect women before something worse takes place. It’s come to the point where it’s just random emails here and there, and I think that’s the best it’ll get so I’ll take it. Please stay safe!!!

[@remonsoliman7269]

All our support to you Rachel. I am 38 years old Egyptian. I like your insist to success and struggling.

Why do creepers always have to ruin good things? I really hope that individual faces some consequences soon so you do not feel like you have to hide in public. So sorry you are going through this. :(

[@katherinegolde7985]

Hey friend! I'm so sorry you've felt threatened by this person. There is no excuse, no one is allowed to make you feel unsafe. I'm so glad to hear there are new developments that can bring you some peace and security. I am a non-traditional pre-med and feeling quite anxious this week as the new semester begins. Thanks for showing all the parts of this crazy long process we're embarking on; the exciting, the educational, and the challenging. I am convinced there's a way to be an amazing doctor and have some balance in our personal lives. I believe in us! Even in anxious weeks :)

[@Gladioli10]

I feel so bad for you, I hope that this person stalking you gets arrested so you can feel safer.

[@hyrte0010]

[@XSemperIdem5]

Random thing about me is that I originally wanted to be a marine biologist and the only reason I chose the path I did was because high school me thought there wouldn't be enough job opportunities in the field so I applied to a different major. Well since last year Phillip Island Nature Parks started with Live Penguin TV and they've reignited my love for the field and penguins. If I had the financial ability, I would drastically change my life to go back to school and pursue work on marine biology with a focus on birds, particularly penguins. It's not that I don't like the field I chose but it's that I'd probably be happier with my original plan. And I'm sorry you went through all that craziness. I dealt with some stalking in early university but in my case it was a relative who I cut out of my life because he as abusive. I hope the situation improves for you because feeling safe is so important and we all deserve to feel safe.

[@Jayeden06]

Some people just really suck. Hoping that you can remain safe Rachel!

File a restraining order. Any contact to you will be followed with criminal charges. They’ll stop quickly.

sadly restraining orders in many cases do nothing. Speaking from personal experience it protects you from nothing if the person has an obsession or is crazy enough :(

Can I ask, if you get a restraining order approved, and are contacted again or were able to snap a picture of this person.

I wish you the best. I was in law enforcement for 12.5 years before shifting gears to the medical field. In my experience, most of these turn out to be nothing, or at least not as bad as initially thought. Having said that, there are those that are legit. There are some crazy people out there. Take care of yourself. In law enforcement we had a saying, 'stay alert and stay alive'. I'll say a prayer for you.

I'm so sorry this happened. I hope you're doing okay! You're an inspiration to so many of us and deserve better than to have your privacy invaded like that.

Fun Fact: I was born without frontal sinuses and I found out after getting a CT this year. I have also been a victim of stalking and let me tell you it is NEVER your fault. Anyone pushing otherwise needs to take a serious look at themselves and consider how bad victim-blaming really is. It doesn't matter who you are - you are entitled to a certain level of safety and privacy.

For neck-shoulder to ulna/radius discomfort, you can do Allen Test to check your circulation and Adson Test to check for any impingements (have someone help you check, as these physical tests are difficult to do without two hands).

Fun fact: I've never commented on a YT video (I don't think ... idk) BUT I found your channel by chance one day during a not so great day in March 2020. I was feeling awful about myself and my future; I had switched my major three times and never felt that what I was pursuing would make me happy. I had never even CONSIDERED medicine because I had always done well in English and loved art classes, so I never thought I would go into a STEM major. I switched to pre-med because you made learning difficult things look so fun. I was a first-semester junior when I switched to pre-med, so I still have A LOT of catching up to do, but I have found that I LOVE science. I am so excited to be working in medicine; I was looking for something that would allow me to be around new people everyday, help those people in a meaingful way, keep me interested, insanely busy, and on my feet .... where else am I going to find such a perfect and fulfilling field? The only thing I have stuck to in my college career is my minor in Nonprofits ... maybe I'll work in a nonprofit hospital ??

To all the people who said that this is the cost you have to pay for sharing your life, just hear the fear and anxiety in her voice in the first 3-4 mins of the video. No one deserves to be so stressed and anxious just because he/she chose to share their life with other people on the Internet.

Just take care Rachel. Privacy and security is an integral part of a person's life. You've already sacrificed a lot of the two just by being out on the web. Doing whatever you deem fit, you will always have our support.

I've had to change my adresse+school+work multiple times in the past year due to an abusive and stocking ex. It had a HUGE impact on me. I am now trying to get back into the swing of things but it's hard. So I feel you
