Welcome to the anti-depressant club!!! ❤ all the cool girls take care of their mental health

[@ollymounara605]

Depression is nothing to be ashamed of. But I do not like the promotion of medicine. Depression is a sign that there is a bigger underlying problem in health. I have tried medication and it always has given me side effects that weren't good or even made me more depressed till the point of thinking to kill myself because I was totally not depressed when taking it in a very low dose but having a hard time to get into action. The world we live in right now is far from natural and perfection is putting even more pressure on everything. The pressure these days is high on many levels. Way more information for our brains to handle than ever before. It's very easy to get burned out. Definitely with the lack of nutrients in our food compared to many years ago. If your intestines aren't able to digest and absorb the food you also do not get the nutrients you need for mental health. It's all pretty complex and I'm happy that I have found my way to functional medicine. I've tried a lot and have learned a ton. Especially people like William Walsh who has examined prisoners in the prison where Charles Manson was at. He got most of them off their medication by giving them the right nutrients. And some only needed a low dose.

Yeeess love the antidepressant club girls ❤️

[@beckywood9009]

I am so sorry to hear you have been struggling, bad mental health is very difficult to deal with and taking the steps to address it is a feat! Thank you for sharing this with us, I think you are very brave.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Thank you 🥰

[@creative_by_oksana]

Chronic pain is ... a lot, take whatever time you need to heal and figure things out. I'm very happy the doctors had answers and solutions for you.

[@TooMuchTash]

Thank you for speaking out about these difficult topics. I always click so fast on any video you make, and I wish you the best! ♥️

[@Alohaalondra]

Investing in ourselves, that is the best advice ever. And you deserve exactly that

[@korineahollander348]

My hubby struggled with mental health issues for most of his adult life. I struggled with mental health since I had my first period and after having 2 children with autism and some other challenges some days are still hard. But things are better I have a strict schedule and that really helps me on a day things don’t work out. Nothing to be ashamed off !! My mom always said: Mental health issues are only for the strongest people in the world. ❤

[@estherbraun3479]

Thank you so much for sharing these personal details of your life! Hope you feel better and better! And I agree with so many who have already commented, I LOVE your content, no matter the frequency! You were one of my biggest inspirations when I started panning last year! I’m from Brazil and influencers here don’t talk about project panning… So thank you for teaching me about it and for encouraging me to do it over the videos! ❤

[@Crafty_lady42]

I’m a fan of you in the project pan ladies . So I’m so sorry what you going through . I’m dealing with mental health . So I feel your deepest pain . Please don’t over do it , it’s okay . Do what you want to do , relax and care about yourself now . ❤sending hugs from Japan 🇯🇵

[@Emma-ws5wq]

Taking medicine for mental health has been life changing. Therapy as well, just learning how I process things in a way that harms me. The things that happen in life can be seen as neutral or trigger me, and that doesn't mean the thing itself is bad. It just means I need to understand the trigger and why it's there and if I can get past it. Makes every day easier

[@karijenks414]

Thank you for your sharing and your great advice for our physical and mental health ❤️❤️

[@Elocinandnoved]

As someone who has been dealing with a various of health issues for the last five years, I am glad you are looking after yourself. Thank you for sharing with us and being vulnerable. Love the end clip as well!

[@PocketSizedBern]

Hi! I really enjoy your content, no matter the frequency! 😊🎉 Good for you for taking care of yourself and advocating for yourself. I’ve been learning the same lessons the past year, through different physical and mental issues! Cool coincidence 😊 Take care and have a wonderful summer!!!! ❤

[@celariea.7513]

I'm so happy your Dr helped figure out how to help you! I've lived with depression most of my life, and this year I finally decided to talk with a Dr about it and I'm sooo happy I did. Starting an antidepressant has been such a relief and allows me the emotional bandwidth to deal with other issues.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Good for you for deciding that starting an antidepressant was the right choice for you. I’m happy you have found relief through such a valuable change ❤️

[@micapabia8167]

gorgeous, gorgeous girls take care of their mental health 💗 take care and wishing you all the love and light 💗

[@emilynmax]

Sending you do much love! I also have stepped back semi unintentionally as my work has shifted to more social media focused. I just don't want to create content for myself after hours when I've spent all day doing it for others.

[@kiki5671]

Thank you for sharing ❤ you’re definitely not alone, I also have depression, anxiety, endometriosis and migraines. ❤

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Awe, I totally understand. We’re in this together ❤️

[@iamabutterflychaser]

I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been going through! I always enjoy your videos no matter how frequently or infrequently you upload. Wishing you all the best and take care of yourself!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Thank you so much for the kind words & support 🥰🥰 I really appreciate it!!

[@ruthfoley]

As an endowarrior which in turn exasperated already existing anxiety & depression I literally feel your pain! Thank you for sharing your story and helping bring light to it for other sufferers. 💛💛💛 Antidepressants/anti anxiety meds have definitely helped me as well in conjunction with therapy. Sending you loads of healing thoughts and love 💛💛💛

[@amaliaboemeke2538]

it's okay, we are here for you

[@lainelee3632]

Proud of you for being brave to share your story and journey, for doing the right thing for yourself by taking meds, having more rest, doing therapy, prioritising you, and at the same time not falling into bad shopping habits. These are all difficult things to do yet you put in the work. Funny enough, I have been watching for channel for several years but never realised you were posting less. As a consumer we don't really pay attention to such things. Whatever your goals are with this channel you'll always have our support.

[@Helenasbeauty]

Thanks for sharing ❤ I have had a very similar journey as you, having a surgery removing a huge cyst and after that discovering endometriosis. I also got a severe infection on one ovary which caused me to bounce back and forth to the hospital as my CRP was way too high. That really drained me, having fevers every month and having bad pains, which eventually led to me breaking down mentally as well since I had no energy and I just felt really low, like i could not perform at work and after work i just wanted to sleep because I was so drained. I ended up going on sick leave for depression/burn out for 4 months. I also got antidepressants and started treatment for my endometriosis which eventually got me back on track. But it is really tough, I feel you ❤❤ i have had to discover and connect many different things that has been going on in my body to endometriosis, like that it causes minor inflammations every month, and I just wished that someone could have informed me earlier, before i crashed. I am happy that you are feeling better though, keep on fighting! ❤

[@uptoyouization]

Thank you for sharing your story. There are so many women with mental and gynecological l health issues (including myself) and sometimes it can be comforting to know that you're not alone. I hope that your well being gets even better, but until then we're not going anywhere ❤

[@erlakatrin5579]

I have endometriosis as well and relate a lot with so much of what you shared ❤ I always enjoy your content regardless of how frequently you upload!

[@melanierimmer1744]

Fellow endo here. Took me 8 years to get a diagnosis, and even then they only took me seriously because I was struggling to conceive. I had surgery in the end - is that something you would consider? Well done for looking after yourself and taking that step of talking to your doctor. Hope you continue to feel better!

[@kendspan212]

I’m holding space for you Rebecca. Everything you are going through just sounds like a lot. I’m so happy that you prioritized your mental and physical health. Healing vibes girl. 🌈 ❤ if KZbin isn’t a priority… I get it. You take care of you! We will be here for you.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Awe thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰

[@Woggsadocious]

Sending love! Thanks for sharing your heart. These conversations can be so daunting but the more we all share, the easier it is for others to start healing. ❤

[@rubyannr6898]

I feel your pain. I was told I had herniated discs but not about the osteoarthritis that caused it. Grrr. It was four years not knowing for me.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Ugh I’m so sorry you waited 4 years to understand the cause!! That’s so terrible.

[@rosemarygodwin487]

I am so so very sorry for all you are dealing with and I can really relate. Thinking of you and hoping things improve. ❤

[@juliannechapman6614]

I am so sorry to hear of the health challenges you have been facing! That must have been so tough to walk through and continue navigating. My heart goes out to you, I faced some severe women’s health challenges as well during the fall and winter and it took a huge toll physically and mentally. Wishing the very best for you for continued healing. I always love getting to watch your videos, I am a fellow makeup lover and your videos give so much joy! Your health comes first though and I’m so glad you are prioritizing your well-being ❤

[@ampersignia]

Absolutely do what's best for you!

[@angelajackson3851]

I’m going through something similar with migraines. It’s refreshing to hear your story. Thank you for sharing.

[@awesomeempties]

you're so brave for being vulnerable and sharing your story! i definitely find that youtube is the first thing to give when im struggling too. so glad to hear that you are investing in yourself and going to therapy! thats something i've been trying to do as well. im always here for you if you ever want to chat! 💕💕

[@kristinnunez2702]

Fellow Endometriosis warrior and survivor here. I'm glad you got the information but it's horrible that your doctor failed to tell you. Endometriosis grows fast and has been found in all areas of the body. Just your journey through that makes sense on how much of a hit your mental health took. I'm glad to hear that you're getting better.🎗️🎗️🎗️💜💜💜

[@freckledklutz]

Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself but sorry to hear its been rough! And I love seeing your animals and your uploads no matter how many there are or aren't. And I work in a school and yes REST is actually vital to making sure that we can do our jobs well but also that we can thrive as people its very counter cultural but it definitely needs to be something that we value.

[@AlexaLikes]

Regarding the physical issues, God, I'm so fed up with the Canadian healthcare system. The omissions, the long waits to have anything treated properly and medical gaslighting women have to suffer is preposterous. Fortunately, you were diagnosed and being treated - that's amazing! These types of stories are so common within my friend circle, women our age a lot of the time... It's hard to practice patient advocacy when mental trauma comes to play, too. As for editing, what's your workflow like? I have the same hang-ups about editing. The more I plan/script a video, the faster I can edit it. I found doing shorter editing sessions and not forcing deadlines on myself has helped. WFH being infront of the computer all day makes it hard to want to edit. Katie Steckly (fellow Canadian youtuber) says she edits as she goes. For instance, adds b-roll in while she edits instead of going through all the talking-head footage first before adding b-roll etc. Sending you lot's a love and I hope you have an enjoyable pain free summer.

[@LoveHeatherette]

Thank you so much for sharing with us! I’m so sorry you have been struggling. Way to go prioritizing your health and advocating for your needs

[@Anna.L.]

You are such a sweet girl.💕You’re young enough to be my daughter and so I feel some mama bear-ness coming on…since I subscribed to your channel a few months ago I noticed that I always found myself saying to myself during your videos (which I love by the way)“she’s so hard on herself” and it always kind of made my heart hurt for you because I get it. For most of my life I was the same way. Continue to nurture yourself mentally and physically…it’s the most important thing. And sweetie, give yourself grace…we all love whatever you put out because you are truly genuine and that is rare. You were very brave posting what you’ve been going through. I’m sure you have helped someone by doing so. Lots of love!💕💕💕

[@CrueltyFreePanner]

Thank you for sharing you story! I'm so sorry you've been going through this and it makes me so sad that the doctors failed to tell you this previously. That is just unacceptable. Sending you hugs from another chronic sufferer. 💙

[@alliepen]

When you were first describing your symptoms I thought “I wonder if she has endometriosis?” I have endo as well. ❤

[@zaria5785]

Make sure you read all of the reports you get post operation/ after every visit. Doctors don’t have time to go into details and there’s definitely oversight. I find nurses can do a better job of explaining things when we can’t get an immediate answer. I’ve had similar experiences with my body not allowing me to do what I plan for the next day. I’ve had to take a break from work and sleep in and finally go see my doctor. After a blood test it was discovered that I was anemic AND have hypothyroidism. Both easily treated and man was that a relief. I pray you find relief and regain strength and good health. ❤

[@RebeccaMorgan]

This is definitely key advice! I truly wish that reports were commonly provided, however, that’s not the case in my experience. I think I’ve only ever had any documentation provided to me by an allergist. No other healthcare provider has ever done that. It sounds like wherever you are located your healthcare services are more thorough, it’s just not like that here (in my experience at least). It’s actually often very rushed with minimal information. They try to get you in and out as fast as possible.. and don’t really try to educate..

[@doodle3984]

thank you so much you too rebecca.

[@AA28374]

Proud of you for sharing your struggles; your story. Your vulnerability is helping a lot of people.

[@solitaireflower]

I’m really sorry to hear that you’ve struggled with your physical and mental health. I’m happy you‘ve got yourself help. I also struggle with depression and anxiety and although anti-depressants haven’t helped me personally I’m glad they work for you. Therapy luckily has helped though and I have my mental health under control at the moment. I hope you feel better soon and don’t worry about uploading, your well-being should always come first. Take care ❤️

[@alyasl.3350]

Sending you love and positivity ❤️ thank you for sharing, and congratulations on fighting! You're such a wonderful person, I'm glad it has got so much better and I hope it continues to be so!

[@kenapina]

That’s infuriating. I’ve never met a woman with endometriosis that didn’t suffer for a minimum of 5 years. What the fuck, man.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

That’s so true 😭 I wish it were easier to diagnose and treat! It’s something that should really be better understood.

[@aguirret8]

I feel for you - that is a lot to deal with.... I am so glad you are doing things to help yourself. You have one body and mind and that definitely comes first. You deserve not to live with mental or physical pain, if you need time to work on ways to minimizing those, they should be prioritized. I hope for the best for you!

[@VoidedLux]

i’ve also been in therapy over the year and investing in myself! it’s been hard but it’s been noticeable. 💗 here if you ever need to chat!

[@dianamano483]

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been struggling with all of that! Happy that you're getting help and getting better. Sending much love and good energy to you

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Thank you so much Diana 🥰

[@mess9607]

Sorry to ear that you've been dealing with pain and mental health. I quite understand, I have chronic elbows tendinitis for 6 years and last year it started to happen to my adductors as well, I had several inflammatory crisis, I had to stop practicing my sports... And I went through a depression, I just stopped antidepressant. I feel better mentally now even if no doctor was able to find any cause or desease. I still struggle with pain sometimes and the limit of my body, it's very frustrating. I wish you the best and I really hope you'll feel better anytime soon!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Awe I’m so sorry that you have been through all of that! Not being able to physically do what you are used to/want to do is devastating. I really hope that you can find some answers. Wishing the absolute best for you!!

[@mess9607]

@@RebeccaMorgan Thanks for your kinf world I wish you the same ❤️

[@mmmkk987]

I can't believe no one bothered to tell you that you have endometriosis! I thought the infrequent uploads was because you had lost interest in making KZbin videos.. glad to hear you're doing better now!

[@laurapirate]

What a disgrace that they didn't tell you about having endometriosis! I don't know if you want kids, and it's definitely none of my business, but didn't they think that's something you would need to know!?
