Mental Illness and School

[@cinnamonbun216]

this made me so emotional. i remember watching your videos from when you had your accident, when your dad died and how emotional and angry you were. i remember how disoriented and angry you were at times. how you had to write everything down to remember. i can't believe this much time has passed. the way you healed from those experiences is inspirational. you are the big sister i never had mama mellow.

[@camirose3009]

U have great insight and even with a brain injury your STILL SMARTER THEN MOST ........college is and was too hard when ur slightly dyslexic .... it’s for some not for all ...

[@camirose3009]

Do Action (like the name) the words “intense obligatory” classes are hard to read when our weak dysfunctional education system has been failing us for decades ~ making anything “obligatory” is almost impossible I went through high school struggling all the way because my “know it all “ attitude covered up my real problems ~ In a sense I “robbed Peter to Pay Paul “ and I lost out on much more than just money ... In conclusion there is no ONE thing that can fix the education System.... but for sure AWARENESS is a better start ⭐️

[@camirose3009]

Making people take classes can help but making them have compassion is another story

[@shimmerrrr]

Noah wtf is your problem???? fuck off

[@izzzz_krissu]

You motivated me to clean my room, it's clean now. And now I'm going to study! Love you so much Sara! Keep motivating people! ❤️

[@astridobermayer5906]

During my second year of university I was struggling with my mental health more than ever before. One of the biggest things that got me through was your 'resistance' video - I would literally play that in the background of me doing things like working myself up to start an essay, cooking a meal, tidying my room and trying to be a normal human being. It helped me SO much during a time where I was finding it hard to motivate myself to even get out of bed. Love u

[@demonictaka9787]

Thank you so much Sara. This videos timing was perfect for me. I just got diagnosed with PTSD, and I'm just..unable to go to school. I'm getting professional help, but my parents keep calling me a useless slob, failure etc. I really want to get better and go to school again..but I guess mental/physical health always comes first...

[@Dark_Venus_]

Hope you are doing better, I send u my light and support 💕💕

[@edwin3974]

You got this! 👍

[@averysmith7710]

hey sara i’m currently a senior in high school and i struggle w anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, it’s been hard this year and i haven’t gone a lot. i hope i can grow as well as you have.

[@pisces-yd5hz]

So sorry to hear that..stay strong and I wish you all the best!!

[@nfv9039]

avery smith it’s all a process 💛 hang in there.

[@kaelafisher1258]

i felt this :(

[@AthenaIsabella]

You should definitely do the recovering from an injury video!! It’s so common and no one talks about the emotional struggle!! Also omg yes you are so right about effort! Almost every teacher I knows agrees that if a student shows effort, they WILL pass because they try 📝😊 I’m shocked about the grief room, there needs to be one in EVERY school I’m brining it up at the next school meeting!! so amazing, I’m glad you had that space.

[@sarakyoutube]

Athena Isabella Serrano-Maestas pleaseee do and let us know what the other teachers think! Heck! Maybe You can even be the start of one! I’m definitely doing a recovering from injury video!! ❤️🐇

[@lovelife02]

You have already been through the worst part of life losing your mother and father, and at a young age, you had to take time and go through what you went through in order to heal, I advise you not to regret that, it sounds to me like you're just now waking up and coming back online, I get it and understand, just be at peace with your past it's your experience

[@Marina-es6ox]

lovelife02 exactly! I agree so much. I think Sara has already hit rock bottom and all that’s left for her is to go up. And she’s learned and grown so much from all that struggle and pain. I sense that 2020 is going to be amazing for her and she will start excelling

[@BeccaBean2020]

I am so proud of you doing this type of content. Using your platform to help others will help you. You are a beautiful soul Sara and your parents would be so proud. Love from Virginia! 💕😉

[@TimaYT362]

You have such a huge purpose, keep being you ❤️

[@laurenwilson2254]

Thats like the nicest thing you could say to someone, so lovely ⚘

[@lornatw]

So happy that you're ready to share advice based on your past. It feels like you're starting to clear your mind,accept the past and start new things X 💗

[@elitaniad]

Loved loved loved this video! Not only because of the topic, but because of how grounded and clear you sound! I'm really glad to hear you so well❤

[@alheli5296]

FACTS !!!!!!!!! Always keep in mind that everything will get better, and YOU have ALL the control of YOUR LIFE to make it the best you want it to be !!

[@PouryaBigonah]

I´m going to listen to this video again as i´m walking to my lecture tomorrow as a reminder that it is all going to be okay. Thank you once again Sara :)

[@FAY-di7rg]

You got this 💛💛💛

[@jennygutierrez8391]

whoever created you took their time man, you are golden

[@AD-oh3vm]

You are like the sign that shows one the right way and puts one back on the road of life haha. It's nice to hear those encouraging words from you. Thank you! ♡ And don't be sorry for taking our time. Each of your words value and can be a 180° turn for someone else. So just speak. I think the people watching your videos know why they are here.

[@Dark_Venus_]

Thank you so much for this Sara, you heal and help people more than you ever know ❤️ ILYSM

[@ASMinor]

I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my KZbin channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤

[@Hannamariej13]

I just wanna say this vid helped me more than words could ever describe. I’ve been so lost in my current phase of life right now. I used to live with my parents but felt the need to move out due to being over pressured to live a life I never wanted to, I use to live in Texas but moved to Virginia 2 years ago with my fiancé. I now live in an even more toxic environment, his father being a suffering addict and his mother consistently bullying me every turn I make. Not to mention I do help with chores, pay for their gas, pay some bills and still deal with the abuse. If it weren’t for him being such an amazing, selfless, hardworking, loving man I would’ve left a long time ago. Now I’m in a point of my life where it’s so hard to stay in the relationship because of my mental health suffering in this broken home. All I have to say is this video was a breath of fresh air and motivated me to drink some water and clean our room. That is all.

[@ilkamarquez3098]

We all love you and all your videos. Thank you for sharing such vulnerable thoughts with us. We live to listen to your words. You are so strong, wise and loving.

[@lebhotshorty]

I feel like I understand you so well, and just seeing how resilient you are makes me feel so positive about the stuff I’m dealing with. You’re doing amazing 💞

[@user-ur8wq7gp9u]

I will never forget the day my parents told my chemistry teacher about my social anxiety and he told me that "a classroom is a safe environment in which you don't need to be scared."

[@Lauren-us7ju]

I'm just now watching this and wanted to say thank you so much, this was so kind and helpful of you. I'm in my junior year of college and have had to deal with being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and trying to pick myself up after that. Now with coronavirus everything is crazy. Hope you are staying safe and well ❤️

[@user-gv9pw6er2x]

thank you sara! thank you! you are my light☀️

[@j4068]

Sending you positive vibes and best wishes Mamma Mellow🌻😇⭐ I'm probably one of your older viewers. But I found you when I suffered a similar accident breaking my back an hips. I lost my parents to cancer too when my life life was just beginning.. Your grieving journey helped me through mine! Always keep doing you! You are a beautiful soul!🌻Blessings for continued success✨🙏

[@dianadorme]

I've suffered from mental illness since middle school. And I've always had a hard time figuring out how to "shut" my emotions and just pretend that I was ok... Tomorrow it's the first day of going back to school and I just hope it will be better 😊 Here in Italy high school is composed of 5 years and sometimes it feels like they're never going to end, but tomorrow I'm starting my 4th year!

[@no-one00]

Happy about this vid mental health also happened to me and strugglngI with school regardless of my passion been watching this channel - you since I was a kid lol and channels like yours remind me that everything is okay in the end - also related to mY school, mental health and finances

[@CocoandtheMuse]

The fact that you keep getting up again shows what a champion you are. Do you know how many people would not get up? You have a tribe behind you! Even when my own life gets the best of me and I’m not on KZbin I still send you love and energy!!! ✨✨😘😘✨✨👯‍♀️

[@authenticallytrish]

You are so smart and cool 😍😍I failed out of college because of anxiety, but actually ended up with a degree basically on accident 😩 i thought it was the end of the world for me and was very verrrry depressed for so long. Always being a high performer and all. Nothing challenging even happened to me, I was just choosing depression over and over & choosing not to make changes. It’s super lame. But like you said, ive met other people who have strong regrets in life too and we’ve been able to forge deep bonds and support each other going forward.

[@70spoem]

the timing of this video couldn't have been better. i'm going through some shite rn and this inspired me to finally get off my butt and do something about the situation I'm in 💖

[@loukol]

your channel has provided me with so much insight, comfort and just happiness.. i've followed you for awhile and just want to say i hope you're doing great in life and are happy. thank you for putting out such meaningful content. keep up the amazing, raw and authentic videos sara. love it

[@tutotze]

You couldn’t have made this video at a better time, thank u

[@adinaghencea590]

I missed watching you. It’s so refreshing hearing someone talk so calmly and genuine about her experiences and advice she has on life. I’m going into my final year of university and I’m feeling like I’m gonna go crazy, but this really helped me take a step back and reevaluate the next steps I need to take

[@زاكيةذاالنون]

God is sure trying to tell you something! Just listen and surrender your life to him by seeking the truth . P.s we started collage the same year but I've not finished it yet due to my mental issues .. I've subscribed since 2015 when I saw you talking about the concept of wild women and how we should be respectful to this side inside of us the book of WWRWW change alot of things in me .. Thank you and happy to see you again. Love you 😙 .

[@babiedelrey222]

it’s always nice to wake up to your face Sara 💗

[@vms575]

Sara 💞 I love seeing these videos where you’re grounded and giving advice. It’s hard for me to watch manic sara lol but I love all of you and hope you’re doing well

[@audrey1034]

I am a teacher in france When I was a teenager, i went through hard shit and had to carry them to school, now i am a teacher, still pretty more sensitive than average people and heres what i can say : i think i have the ability to see when a kid is not doing well, to talk with him, still, sometimes i am afraid i will miss something, and surely i did, surely i do, and surely i will. i always start the year saying that anyone can talk to me about anything : a letter, an email, or eye to eye. As a grown up, it's hard to know that people of such young age can hurt... But yes you're right, to teach is a vocation and teachers are teachers not because of the money (obviously in france) but because we love to connect and teach and help and listen to what students want to say. Every day i am amazed how my students are bright, every each of them in their own way.

[@aakriteekc1975]

This was the most needed video. Thank you so much Sara

[@SharonOommenofficial]

Hi, Sara this was extremely encouraging and really made me think a lot because currently I'm not in the best place but I struggle with anxiety and it's something thats been happening for the last couple of years. I'm so glad that you shared your life and the experiences. Thank you so much and continue to be the person you are. You are very brave and strong.

[@MOVIEHORIZON]

Thank you for providing a time stamp index for the video, though, honestly, I can't imagine anyone wanting to "skip ahead" and NOT get more insight into your "timeline" and "grief history" and "journey" since that is such an integral aspect of your channel and an aspect that, understandably, you, at times, keep rather private.

[@sarazdionica1784]

my name is sara too thats how i found u. im reallyglad that u said that people are going through the motions with u and ur not alone becuase its facts...like its my first year of college out of highschool and it hard as hell... on good and bad days......just cant give up on your goals that easily

[@giusy7]

Hi Sara, morning here. Now I’m watching the video 💗💗💗

[@zeynepsays]

Every part of our lives will pass I know, I knew this when I was having both depression and anxiety. I feel like I will never overcome with it because what I realized my efforts were invalid. Positivity was so fake to me cause i was feeling like its just works for surface not the depth. Because when l look back nothings were cured. Im tired of being sorry, tired of nonworking stuffs, nightmares, struggling etc. But I had all of this when I was at college. I graduated and gpa was around 2,80 but every part of our lives competitive that I got failed from many things. Even if I will be mentally peaceful and healthy, (even though i dont have a belief) I will always look back while regretting, questioning why and thinking of how my life would be better if I did not have those issues? Its not living for me I mean my life, i just exist.

[@sofiaclark7121]

Insecure because of acne Insecure because of not having a drivers lesence yet (I started in January 2018 ... but I didn't go there anymore because idk, I'm just not mature and ready for this shit) Insecure because I ended my school earlier of the reason I really hated this type of school (I'm from Germany, and it's called "Abitur") ... But no worry, I'm in a education for my dream job now🙏🏼💕

I have misophonia too...it's so hard and it's rare to find people who understand

[@desireemeadow6609]

Zinnia Jane oh, yes... my support, dear!

[@sarakyoutube]

As crazy as this sounds I have this as well and would love to make a video about this and my experiences

[@desireemeadow6609]

Sara K Thank you, Sara! As Zinnia Jane said, it's rare to find who understands (and does it properly) our disorder and I am sorry to read you have it too. As first step, I could find a help thanks to Tom Dozier's website, where I could find proper and not triggering videos that explain what misophonia is, how to deal with it and how to tell other people about your problem. Hopefully, if you'll decide to make a video about this delicate topic, you will increase people's awareness about this sad condition. Grazie di cuore, Sara 💙

[@sydneyjones7600]

Do you think you do a video about feeling like you're failing in life/the feeling of not keeping up with the others around you/having high exceptations? Example:I feel terrible about myself for not being able to have my drivers license as a senior in high school (even though I'm supposed to be a junior) but it doesn't matter to me because every else around me has a job (even though I've wanted one but my parents wouldn't let me until just now), is allowed to go to concerts, just overall do fun things my childhood self excepted me to do already.

Hey, I just wanted to say- this video technically doesn't apply to me; I finished HS / College, but I am still a subby (from the makeup videos) and this is probably the BEST content you ever put out. it was real and honest. I'm sure it will help many. xo

[@annidee]

The grief group sounds AWESOME. Yeah I lost my one grandparent left alive when I was 14- she was 74... she smoked cigs & drank too much. She encouraged me to do my art & showed me I had real talent. Died with lung cancer. Man... from that point- it was on... in the 70s. May be your oldest viewer? 😅School said I should be in the “AT” group- “ - like 3-5 of us per class- had to be separated for “academically talented” or, too smart, but hyper AF, they only gave boys meds for not ADD, but hyperactivity-but I was a troublemaker, from an alcoholic family, I am still hyperactive and can’t sit and just watch a movie for an hour-- ugh! I feel I need to keep moving. I don’t drink, but I did... oh did I. So luck & grateful I didn’t end up dead, man... & alcohol has no grip
