Thank you! :)

[@latashapannell7420]

Sending nothing but positivity, love and light. Maybe it’s time for a vacation! Maybe u need a beach and a drink with an umbrella for a few days. Decompress

[@EmemUko]

Hahahahaha!! I've actually been saying this to my friends the past few weeks! I definitely need to be on a beach right now! Will be planning that soon. Receiving all the positivity, thank you! :)

The best you can do for yourself now is to take a break. Like 1 week break from some things that make you exhausted. I'm a software developer and sometimes i get stuck so bad, confused, like my brain wants to explode, physically and mentally tired, all that stuff😪. Just reduce your work load for a week, go for evening walks, hit the gym every morning, probably watch some movies, you'll be fine

[@augustinejnr]

I would recommend comedy series. That helps me alot

[@EmemUko]

Omg! Love that you can relate from a software developer's point of view! It's really like my brain wants to explode sometimes, haha! Thanks for the advice, I am definitely finding ways to take breaks and rest.

[@momoolatunde]

Love & light to you

[@EmemUko]

Thank you :)

Hey love! Sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. Honestly, transitioning from the social environment of college to living alone and working full time is highly tasking emotionally and mentally, and shows up in areas we don’t even expect. I know because I graduated couple years back. In hindsight, some things that I would have done differently is- seek out a home church based on the people I connect with most, opportunity to serve with others at church, social events that the church offers. The preaching of course should be bible truth but if it’s not as i enjoyable, i would have engaged in the church and supplemented with online preacher who I could grow from. Look out for community ways to get involved, like coaching kids, after school program tutoring, or volunteering at a shelter, etc. Not wait for anyone to host me, rather host the people I meet - couple games, pizza, and it’s a hangout bringing together the individual people i had been meeting along the way. The goal of all of these is take the focus off self as i think living alone gives tooo much time to think which is not mentally and emotionally healthy for us analyzers and overthinkers. Prioritizing my walk with God as well to arm myself up with the truth of what God says about me, and not be moved by self doubt. Surrounding yourself with amazing people will also remind you that you are amazing. Wishing you all the best indeed!

*couple games as in “few” not necessarily dating games lol

[@EmemUko]

I looooove this! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this comment. You are so right that living alone allows us too much time and space to overthink and overanalyze! I'm definitely trying to branch out and find things that I enjoy doing apart from what I am doing now and I hope to find a good balance at some point. Post grad life is definitely not easy and it's something that needs to be talked about more!

I am having similar feelings toward my current life situation as well. Therapy helped me as well scheduling self reflection/ self care time. To help w/feeling so exhausted. I scheduled time to take a bath and exercise which helps me relax.

[@EmemUko]

Therapy has been so helpful! I'm so glad I started going. That's very true! I have been learning to actually schedule rest and self-care time into my days, definitely a game changer!

Young woman, I dont know you...just randomly came across your video. I want to speak life into you. Relax. Go outside, smell the flowers outside, take a walk, go to the gym, go to church...If only you look closely, you will see you have a reason to be JOYFUL. You are alive. I am a doctor and I see people die EVERYDAY...but guess what ? You are alive. Dont worry about the little things like your youtube channel...it will grow with time..guess what? I just subbed...LOL.. Have a blessed day dear

[@EmemUko]

Thank you for your kind words! I am grateful to be alive and I need to focus on that a lot more lol. Thanks for subscribing!

[@onahi2025]

I low- key feel the same and I especially felt like this today.

[@EmemUko]

It's definitely a hard place to be but I hope this video shows you that you are not alone. Sending you love and light

[@crazyideasgirl]

You should take a break I think. You're doing a lot and I do hope you see the results you want ❤️. Yh, Peace& Strength. I've always wondered why I haven't followed through any of my plans before 🤔. I must have a why! 😊 Thank you Emem

[@EmemUko]

Thank you! I am definitely finding ways to take breaks for sure :). And yes! It's super important to have a why!

[@judeayo1806]

Okay, after watching about 4 of your videos, this video now makes sense. I want to laugh because I KNOW what you are going through. Well, it is NORMAL to feel this way. You graduated from college two years ago and this is a phase...it will pass....Maybe you should go for a Masters program? That will give you something to work towards that is different from work. I am guessing you are between 22-28 years old. This is a phase we will all go through. DO you have a local church? DO you have college friends you still keep in contact with? Where are your parents? You need to occupy yourself outside work!!!!!!! COncerning your KZbin, just keep vlogging. it will grow....dont worry too much about it...things tend to work out when we dont expect much...life has a funny way of working out when we lest expect it to. Relax. Also, how is your love life? I dont want to put any pressure on you but NOW is the time to be in a fulfilling relationship. You dont want to make the mistake i made. I am 39 and still single because medical school was more important to me than a relationship. ..but the bible tells us TWO HEADS is better an ONE. We are social beings and there is always that need for a fulfilling love life. If you are single, NOW is the time to start looking and praying for a fulfilling relationship. I wish you well... Relax, and take things one day at a time....I dont want you to fall into depression!!!!...reach out to me if you need someone to talk to [e-mail] take care dear

[@emybabe100]

Thanks for being open with us. Personally, I understand how you feel. I think how to overcome this feeling is by celebrating our small wins and surely we will get to a better place. Love you Emem ❤️

[@EmemUko]

Well said!
