I've been struggling

[@amkugel9230]

Emily, I left you a comment when this happened. I'm 53 and I've had 10 significant concussions in my life. The last one at 40 has changed my life. Since I take no meds, I know when I go through times of what I call "concussion brain waves" The anger the issues and noise irritation start showing up and when I tell my close people that something "makes my brain hurt" they get it. Cranial sacral therapy gives me relief and is why I will have a quality life. I will never be able to do the financial work I used to. I went back to working on a farm and the animals and plants are great for my brain. I know you'll get better! I know how hard it is. The last one took me 6 months to explain North, South, East and West even though my brain kept saying "You know this" As someone who grew up in the woods that was really scary. There are times I just have to tell people " I have a head injury so bare with me" Again, I pray you are made whole and either way it's going to get better. It's a bitter pill. God bless you!

[@dharmaslife]

Thank you for this! You’re the first person I’ve ever heard express something in writing, and it feels like you actually understand when I go through… It’s really disheartening 💔

[@PhuongDuong-pn1or]

Wishing you all the best. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@shellevaughan-hoyt4063]

Get better emily

[@kristingrounds4163]

You will heal soon keep doing what you are doing only you know your body! Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.

[@wwaldron3]

Praying for continued and complete recovery for you.

[@dougieranger]

A difficult thing to admit, especially on KZbin. You’re stronger than you know.

[@sallyfrenette9643]

I'm glad you've slowed down. It DOES make a difference. I wish you continued healing.

[@lineriisager9726]

wishing you solid recovery and all the healing needed🙏

[@johngreeve8813]

Emily, I am 63 now, but had a severe concussion at 16 where I lost a days' memory. At that time I received no counselling for best ways to recover. Before my injury I had an easy time in school and received top marks. After, at the beginning of grade 10, I had to work much harder for my marks and had trouble remembering. I was very active, played soccer ( my first love at the time), and just "sucked-it-up". I was planning on going to university for a science degree, but ended up working for the railway, and raised 4 great kids with my wife of now 42 years. Long story short, you can have a wonderful life, albeit in a different direction from the one you envisioned. In your case though, with therapy and patience I think a full recovery is entirely possible. God bless you on your healing journey!

[@gladys763]

I've been missing seeing your videos, I know that you have to take care of yourself. Just thought I would let you know, you are being missed

[@JasonMcCann841]

Best of luck as you continue to heal. All the best young lady.

[@seandayma]

I am praying for you and your healing. I know this is not easy, but God has a plan for us all. God bless you and heal your body, mind, and spirit.

[@JaKeCaKez]

God doesnt exist, nice try

[@jerryellman9950]

Really

[@faithmcmow5750]

Sorry to hear that you haven’t fully recovered from your injury. Please be patient and take care to take your time- don’t rush. Your brain is a remarkable organ that if injured may take a fairly long time to recover. Relax and take your time, don’t rush things. Take care of yourself. I wish you well. Love all ways.

[@markaustin1013]

It looks to me like you are doing all the right things Emily, so keep on doing what you are doing. Summer is just around the corner so hope you have time to enjoy the season. All the best , you are on the road to recovery.

[@mags102755]

Emily it's good to hear from you. It sounds like you're doing all the right things to help heal your concussion injury. Hang in there, we're with you.

[@arthenry498]

I would encourage you to take good care of YOU!! YOU are important!! YOU are good. The world NEEDS you in it. What ever it takes to heal you, do it, please. I wish you well in everything you do but most importantly, in your healing process. Great to hear from you Emily!! Blessings and good health to youi.

[@thepoetthatwasi1722]

Hang in there, Emily. I also have the habit of pushing myself too much after an injury, when I really should be taking it easy to allow things to heal. All the best.

[@bellamylittlegirl1029]

Emily so good to hear a report on your progress. Taking care of you is # 1 so that’s what you need to do. My thoughts and prayers will continue for you and my good wishes for a recovery soon. ~♥️

[@SJC49]

Emily, your time off looks like it has been beneficial. Your face has changed in a good way - a little more mature but even prettier. Your delivery also is more confident, you seem more sure of yourself. Hope this isn’t too personal - it is meant with only kindness. Good luck to you!😍🇨🇦

[@rossmitchell9134]

I had a brain injury myself. And I know it takes a lot of energy just to do little things. That most people take for granted. Hope you're doing well!

[@dionoliveira4058]

Lovely share thanks Emily. So glad to hear you eating meat and salt these two saved me a few years ago when i was mostly vegetarian and suffering with IBS and depression. Another fundamental way of improving my health was to take life a lot less seriously and to be more childlike more often. Nature is miraculous and you are blessed to be in the space you're in.

[@jewels7832]

It's good to see a video from you Emily. I hope you are getting better every day. Nature sure is the best for healing, keep it up. 😊

[@johnlewis6569]

You’re in my prayers Emily 🙏🏻 I suffered a severe concussion in 2021 during the winter. I slipped on the ice going down the stairs and was found 35 minutes later when a nose. Me covered in snow and ice. All I can remember is that it was 7:55 am when I went out the door and down I went. I was rushed to the hospital emergency room and was wrapped in warm blankets. I struggle from time to time and still feel the fog. But since the accident I have lost 70 pounds and walk 3 miles a day. I have eliminated caffeine and sugar from my diet and am eating healthier than I have ever. You’re strong and you have family to support you. Be kind and patient to your self.

[@Gigawatts-gy9ih]

I hope everything works out great for you Emily. It's great to hear from you. And wish you the best! 🙂

[@andiepasdedeux6576]

Great to see you back. So sorry to hear about your concussion, but good to see how you're coming back from it. Baby steps, Emily. Baby steps. And yep, the social thing is so important, even if you just wanna hide away from the world. That's OK sometimes, but not all the time. All about that balance. Sending love. xxx

[@carolwunsch4546]

I am getting so hungry watching you prepare that gorgeous organic food! ☺️ So sorry to hear about your concussion. I have been struggling with dysregulation of my nervous system, and you sure seem to be doing all the right things. The hardest part for me sometimes is not being able to make the recovery go faster! Meditation helps me, & keeping a gratitude diary helps keep my spirits high. Thinking of you! Wonderful videography.

[@francoisg1393]

I got sick in October, and struggled to recover ever since. I also think my health concerns were compounded by copious amounts of stress and anxiety. Even though I'm still struggling, I have had to learn to accept my limitations. I'm slowly getting better. I hope you get back to full health. Take care.

[@USNCrypto]

Take care of yourself. You're doing awesome things that I'm happy to watch and support, but you only get one body and one life. Listen to it when you need to rest. Praying/sending good vibes.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Amen to the healing power of nature. Prayers for you.

[@treehuggingmusician595]

I just this week heard an interview of someone who had written an article about her journey with a concussion that she got playing soccer and how many doctors give the wrong advice for recovery. She said that it is important to keep your mind engaged and to exercise to keep the blood flowing. She had to go to a physical therapist who gave her mental and physical therapy before she was able to recover fully. She said that trying to keep your mind blank was the worst thing to do. I hope you get well soon.

[@josecondemarin9586]

Emily , just keep going one step at the time. Please take care of yourself. Aim high, never give up, much love to you. Take care, thanks 😊

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Praying you get well. Just take your time and let your brain heal. God bless 🙏❤️

[@deblarsen8528]

Dear Emily, You are on my daily Prayer list! I am sending Prayers for continued healing and comfort. 🙏❤️. You are doing exactly what you need to do to recover. Thank You for the update on how you are doing! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! ❤ p.s. When you cook 🍳 I feel happy (& hungry!) 😊

[@sharonmcanoe]

Get well mind, body and soul in your own time. KZbin will still be here. Be one with nature should put you back on that path. ❤❤❤❤

[@dandaniels4558]

Awe, I'm so sorry you're still dealing with the concussion symptoms. I know it's a big struggle trying to get back to where you were before you got it. And yes, I've been wondering where our little Emily has been worried something was wrong. I feel bad for you, and I will be praying for your healing to happen soon and good and strong again and whatever other health issues you have, like the low blood pressure. It is wonderful to get out in nature and experience God's creations. Get well soon sweetheart. 🙏🙏✝️

[@Karen-et9hq]

Emily you are a strong young lady. Just take it one day at a time! God bless you with a full recovery ❤🙏🙏

[@daleh.7711]

You always make cooking look so effortless. I hope the best for you and your health. Only you can take care of you :) One day at a time.

[@scottalpert3444]

Emily, you are doing fantastic. When you are used to the go go go, it is a shock to suddenly stop. Let your brain heal. This is not a sprint. Now is the time to nurture a good relationship with yourself. Other methods of healing are acupuncture, hyperberic oxygen tanks, and massage. As for mood, remind yourself each day how wonderful you are as a person. I'm rooting for you.

[@be4st856]

As a former college rugby player with several concussions, there was a time where i had to drop school for an entire year to recover before i could go back and finish my degree. Brain injuries are no joke, and they can have serious long term effects. Still, with time and serious effort, you can recover . It certainly isn’t easy to deal with all the negative thoughts and emotions, apathetic moods, poor decision making, slow processing and cloudy thoughts, but there is light at the end of the tunnel if you keep fighting through all of it. What really helped me start to change my brain chemistry and move in the right direction was to always remind myself of the blessings in my life and to be kind to myself when i wasn’t meeting my own expectations. You almost have to consciously “will” the positivity back into your brain despite the contradicting feelings. At the very least, believe that no matter what you will pull through. I wish you the best!

Young lady (Emily), i do relate to some of what you've been going through. So glad you're feeling somewhat better physically and mentally. It can be hard to do sometimes. I happy to hear you've been doing thing for your mental health, health emotional, and most of all your physical health. I commend you for choosing yourself above any social media life. I've enjoyed watching and sharing your videos as well. I know your father, mother and the rest of your family are truly, sincerely proud of you with what you've accomplished in your life. Please, take care of yourself. My thoughts and prayers go out to you for healthy healing. So keep your videos coming. Martie W. From Florida

💚 Rest as required. I AM...

[@VelvetRedRoses]

Wonderful video. I know a person close to me who had a severe concussion. It took that person over a year to get back to where this person was before the concussion. Riding a bicycle seemed to help heal the body as well as the mind. Time is so important in the healing process. Best of luck. You seem to be on the right track.

[@JJBrown-lw1dv]

Nice to hear from you. We’re all on your side.

[@aletageer6911]

I agree with your conclusion about foods! So sorry for so much trouble you have been having with your health. Thanks for sharing and being so open about what you are going through and how you are trying to correct it! I love your videos. Take care and get well! God bless you!

[@jmar665]

So sorry to hear that you have not fully recovered as yet. You are doing all the right things, and we are praying for your recovery. Keep making videos and doing promos for items folks will buy. You still have to feed yourself and pay your bills. God bless you and may your recovery be swift.

[@davidmunro5577]

Can I make a suggestion for improving your videos. Lower the sound level by 3 or 4 dBs so that we can clearly hear what you are saying while the music is playing. As a sound engineer, this is a good practical idea. Very many programmes are ruined nowadays by a too high level of accompaning sound as viewers cannot make out what is being said. I hope you are keeping well and improving over time. My granddaughter has similar problems to yours. Best wishes!

[@sts8881]

Emily, love your videos I’ve followed your dads for about 6 years also While you sitting quietly, read Dale Earnhardt Jrs book: Racing to the finish. It chronicles his journey recovering from his 10-15 concussions. This book should be in every sports teams locker rooms. You’ll see that most old school therapy’s don’t work. If you fight thru these symptom, I believe you will be much much better off for it. God bless.

[@annhope7760]

Sending you and your family my appreciation, support,and love. So much appreciate the material that you share. Much love. Just know that you are a rock star ❤❤

[@donaldhofman5257]

It does get better, it just takes time! I was in a accident when i was 14! I understand i spent 3 days in the hospital and have no memory of it! I actually lost my memory of the week after that as well! I remember walking up to the house with tunnel vision and after telling mom not to worry everything went black! The next thing i remember is mom calling me to get up for church! It was a week later! The stitches were healing nicely on my ear that was almost cut off! I've had several more concussions but not as bad as the first one!

You probably already know this but "grounding" or "earthing" is also very beneficial for healing. Wishing you the best in your recovery.

[@larrykelly2838]

Don't keep so much on ye plate, I've been there and less stress means being healthier.

[@catherinecooper2360]

Emily, I have every confidence that you will heal completely. If you ever doubt that even to the slightest degree, literally talk to that idea or picture and tell it to get out. Then take a wad of paper which represents that doubt/fear, and literally throw it in the garbage container and tell it that no longer does it have any power in your life and that you forbid it to ever occur again. This is something I studied a long time ago and it worked for me and for many others. Please try it.

[@nancycolbert2703]

Welcome back Emily. I know this has been a trying year. But you have such a supportive family, I know you will overcome this trial. Stay focused on healing. You have an amazing life ahead ....

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you are being so proactive about your issues. I was just talking to a friend about learning how to "Be Still" . It's definitely easier to do out in nature. Certainly this isn't the life you planned, but you will find your way. The brain is such an amazing delicate yet resilient organ. I hope you are working with someone to process the emotional component of this trauma. This is a loss on so many levels. Being able to acknowledge and work through the mental health part will be critical in your healing journey. I'm glad you have a loving, supportive family to work through this with. Hang in there.

[@donlancaster9131]

There are some good studies on Creatine regarding brain injuries and healing of the entire body. Our bodies make Creatine and this supplement is the most studied. You can take up to 10g (2 scoops) a day. Hope you get to feeling better.

[@cindiareddy2370]

Nature, colorful food, few important social connections and animals… This should take care of all of your issues. You are in the right path.

[@Esoj.]

Sorry about your accident but I can see that you’re taking it in stride and taking time to to heal yourself so you will come out of this much stronger no doubt. If you’re practicing meditation I would recommend that you look into exteroceptive meditation as well if you haven’t already. It really helps me get out of my head when I’m feeling stressed and anxious, even more so than the usual interoceptive meditation. Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery!

Good day from Australia, Emily. Thanks so much for update , I've been worried about you , love the garden shots, could have showed more but no pressure.are you still doing study and working at the dentist? Rest assured we are all beside you and can't wait for the day your very active again ( but no more contact sport only ones you can control) lots of love.

[@Skulls6769]

I agree. Meat and vegetables and fruit always make me feel best I can feel 👍

[@Hassel-]

Meat has been one of the base foods in the thousands of years of the history of mankind. In my humble opinion never something to apologize about eating to some very confused people :). With that said, its a pleasure to listen to a young mature person like you. It gives hope.

[@billgaetz337]

Dear Emily; I've had 2 major concussions in my life , in one I actually died (for a short time) I'm now turning 90 and there are many things that will help you on your way to recovery . Stay mentally active as well as physically active and most of all stay spiritually active and I don't mean that in a religious way . Always remember "you are not your body" , the being you are does not come from your brain or your body but from a place beyond your mere physical being. When you are involved in the world of nature you will see it and sense it and become one with it , and therein lies your true joy. What you truly are is perfection and any thought other than that is a lie!

[@velikokotarowa1818]
