I decided to leave drama school / musical theatre training... big life update | ABBY ♡

[@daisymellen2944]

As a Christian and a lover of performing arts I completely understand your decision. I’ve come to the decision recently that I won’t apply to drama school, and a large part of that stems from the fact that I want to make Christian friends and be a part of a CU etc. Well done for being so brave and sensible and keeping up your faith 💛

You should be so proud of yourself, it sounds like you really pushed yourself. You’re so brave for making this decision too. I’ve just finished my first year of drama school and it really is the hardest thing I’ve ever done! It’s not really spoken about much but in terms of mental health drama school really takes a toll! I’m sure your video will help so many people who are struggling! 🙏🏽☺️💖✨ Xx

The whole “impending doom” and “not wanting to go back to the studio” was literally exactly how I felt! So proud of you for making this decision I can’t wait to see you thrive at Sussex!!! 💓💓💓

As a Christian, I totally get what you’re saying. Lockdown has been absolutely awful. But maybe a blessing in disguise as it has helped us realise things that we may never have thought about if we hadn’t been left at home for so long.

You are so strong, I hope you know that. I’m so sorry you had to go through that but everything happens for a reason and things are only gonna get better from here xx

What a brave & sensible person. You must follow your heart. I sure you will make the right decisions in life. You gave it everything, but your health is more important. It's nice you have such a supportive family. The very best of luck. Such an important video. I hope it gives others, who are going through those emotions, the strength to make these very difficult decisions. You are such a beautiful person. My heart goes out to you.

Well done, hun. You’re so inspiring. You’ve got this, girl. You can do it! 💖

Jesus saves! Isn’t it amazing how He can tell you exactly who you are? WORTHY! I know He’s so excited to continue showing you your future. Keep spending time with Him and each step will appear in your heart. I can’t wait to see the next one, I hope you’ll keep sharing your journey with us!

I can relate to this so much. I've been at uni for 3 years doing east Asian studies and as much as I love the course, I found the language part really hard and I went through really bad depression and anxiety. I was having panic attacks everyday, mostly nocturnal, and I had an eating disorder bc I was scared of getting sick from my own cooking. I was super isolated during lockdown and it really messed with my head for the whole year, so I didn't finish my assignments and have to resit I'm now taking a break and ironically the career I started thinking about taking up was play therapy! I'm already 22 but I'm hoping to get an apprenticeship in a nursery and pursue early childhood studies. I started thinking about going to drama school randomly but honestly, you've reminded me how dumb that would be for me 🥲😂 I just need to get back out there and do SOMETHING to built myself back up. I'm trying to remember that trying to do the absolute most isn't helpful. Living doing something you enjoy but you can handle is the best thing.

You're really brave. Remember that. 🥰

I went to university at the age of 18 to do performing arts and left after my first year because it wasn’t for me anymore and I’d trained from the age of 3 xx

[@AJ-kx3xv]

So proud of you gal 🧡🧡

[@mgoskay]

Was it the training that was intense?

[@AshFl33]

Rooting for you in whatever you do🤍

[@azokuhle8358]

Missed u🤗, sometimes just talk to someone that doesn't even know you it helps a lot... I think this Lockdown and Covid is taking a toll in our emotions as well.

[@andrewmarchant3554]

Abby you have to be hard in entertainment. I am sure you can do it. Understand that not everyone will love you.
