My Journey, it's been tough

[@stephenkelly1887]

Just wonderful Katie. Mental health problems do leave you in a very dark place, but it's good to recognise it and talk about it. I'm so very proud of you. I'm sure that this vid will help some people who are a wee bit stuck. You get good and bad days. C'est la vie, but knowing it helps immensely. I love you hugely. Not in a romantic sense, but you need to look in a mirror and say, 'Well done girl'. Thank you. xxxx

[@MyersFamilyVlogs1]

Awww thank you so much 😁 your comment really means a lot, I was nervous posting this to be honest but I hoped it would help somebody xx

[@stephenkelly1887]

I have no doubt that it will Katie. Even if one person gets the inspiration to do something, then you've done the job. That must have been so hard to do. Special lady. xx

[@MyersFamilyVlogs1]

@stephenkelly1887 hi lovely yes I will be happy even if it only helps one, yes I admit I was scared and even a little embarrassed to begin with x

[@stephenkelly1887]

Absolutely no need to be embarrassed. It's the opposite. Do you have any idea how much the Fammers will be so proud of you? One of the reasons that we love you, is that you are real and honest. Even though you never got your basic cornflour certificate! xx

Congratulations on your video, well said the encouragement you provided to viewers is exemplary. To many people think that you should just pull yourself together is helpful you have to take small steps and every little victory no matter how small is a way to better health!

[@MyersFamilyVlogs1]

Thomas thank you and I totally agree a person suffering can't just pull themselves together (I hate that saying) I hope this video helps others

One step at a time thomas. But what an awesome open and inspirational video from our Katie.

I also have Mental Health problems....i was in the house for 5 years...far to scared to go out. I'm not totally there yet and never thought i would ever feel sand between my toes........years after along with the help of Diazipam i stood on Blackpool beach in bare feet and sobbed. I do still really struggle, this began when i was 25 i am now nearly 65....i still can't go out on my own. Thank you Katie for your inspirational vlog....and well done lass xx

I loved this video. Honesty and openness to talk about. Mental health is as real as the people we are. There isn't enough to help. I am a keys, wallet, and phone checker all day as check multiple times. Dry mouth as get that nervous and anxious. It affects every day, and the only time it's nil is when at home.

[@TheRobAllen77]

What a brilliant video that took a lot of courage to do. And you're absolutely spot on if just one person sees this and realises they can empower themselves to fight back against mental health issues it's definitely worth your time. It was for similar reasons I did a series of vlogs about my bowel cancer fight. Again if just one person saw them and realised they had similar issues and got help it was worth it. I havent got the platform of many subscribers like you but it was definitely worth my time and effort. Again well done on being so open!

[@MyersFamilyVlogs1]

Hi Rob thank you and I'm so sorry to hear about your bowel cancer, that must have been so scary 😞 it was great of you to do videos on it too, yes I will be happy if this video helps someone else as I felt lost and realised there was no other help except to help myself x

I worked with a lady who had managed to get out of an abusive relationship and because her partner wanted her to clean the house all the time her sister suggested she got a cleaning job in a care home which she eventually did even though she felt very much as you did. The home encouraged her to do a basic care course and she worked as a carer becoming a team leader after taking more training.

I'm pleased you have managed to conquer your problems. It's not easy as basically you have to do it yourself. As a 64 year old man, I am 99% fine mentally but it never leaves you.

Hi Katie what a really interesting video. It's so good when a content creator actually goes that extra mile to engage and really try to help their KZbin family. It's never an easy thing to do when you tell your story to people you have never seen before. Even though a lot of us comment and engage with you and you reply we are all really strangers we see you however, you have no clue what most of us look like. I suppose what i'm trying to say is that by doing this video I think you have forged a stronger connection with us all. And thank you Katie for sharing such a personal story particularly at this time of year when many people with mental illness can really struggle or even those that are normally strong might start to struggle also.
