[@lucaslife1988]

thank u for being here 4 me! what's something u have been struggling with?

[@fraiIbug]

Luca'slife Personally, I’ve been struggling with suicidal thoughts and my anxiety. I’ve been feeling so out of place, I can’t focus or think. I’m trying my best in school but I feel so empty.

[@makaylahjewell1279]

Luca'slife a lot of my friends will “bully” me like sometimes i can be really dumb and i i get made fun of for it and it’s actually starting to get to me how do i not let it get to me

[@triniteew9816]

Balancing school and work while trying to have time just to chill be myself can be hard sometimes

[@maggiehildreth8365]

panic attacks. can’t stop hyperventilating & crying. also anxiety, like overthinking situations & feeling on edge & uncomfortable when i go everywhere except my house

[@rachelshen4798]

Thank oh Luca for being here for me!!! I LOVE U AND UR CHANNEL SO MUCH😘😘I’m struggling to find friends that are right for me and make me truly happy and comfortable

[@julialuvs2rock]

“I’ve had a rough couple patches here and there” *literally had a brain injury and mental breakdown*

[@millyhharleyyy]

Hey Luca my dad taught me this when I couldn't sleep! "Imagine a sky full of clouds, and every one of those clouds is one of your thoughts. Then suddenly all the clouds disappear and the sky is clear, and so is your mind. Now you can fall asleep." Be patient it takes time

[@dogenthusiast1922]

It is almost reassuring to know that your role models go through the same things as you❤️

[@makaylabaker3032]

A tip for being in the middle of having an anxiety attack is to take your shoes and socks off stand on a cold surface close your eyes and count up or down and breath until it’s over. I learned this from my therapist and it helps a little I would recommend that❤️

[@keiron.4612]

I like when you talk about mental health helps me and so many people sometimes there's nobody to open up my brain messes with me I have scars on my arms i hope nobody judges me for saying that but sometimes things get on top of me

[@amandelcake481]

It’s all going to be okay

[@joelygarrard8624]

Stay strong! Jesus loves you. It will always get better.

[@keiron.4612]

@@amandelcake481 thanks💝

[@karenhoefer5764]

Hello David, I want to tell you about my group! Itxs for those of us with mental health issues. We offer support, ideas for coping strategies and non judgemental friends to talk to. Please join us! facebook.com/groups/3658222360869989/

[@annies301]

U should see a therapist. All of my friends in high school go and their insurance covers it! Maybe just give it 1 try and you can let all of your emotions out and tell them about your stress. This will help u not think about it as much when u go to bed

[@marissalynn123]

Lo La agreed. My little sister is in middle school and she just agreed to do therapy once a week to de-stress. I hope it works for her!

[@MsNeonlily]

Hey girl, I'm about 12 years older than you and I've had these issues. You sound like you're burning out/burnt out. You need to take a break. I had to take 3 weeks off work to rest.

[@nawally123]

Neonlgihts I had to reread this comment twice to see that you wrote older instead of old. I just didnt get how a 12yo had to take three weeks off work

[@maggiehildreth8365]

thank you for being real, nobody is perfect all the time. mental health is such a difficult thing, stay strong bb

[@chloivass559]

This came at the perfect time I’ve been struggling with really bad night anxiety idk how to describe it like as soon as it gets dark I start getting anxious but your not alone 🤍

[@bianca-cf1ni]

watching this instead of doing my 90 question math homework🤪

[@MaiaLilly]

i really really really really felt when you said theres a lot going on in your life and it interferes with healing. i dont know how to balance everything going on and it feels SO overwhelming, today at school i almost cried because i couldnt stop thinking and had to start journaling in my phone to try and calm down. you definitely arent alone and thank you for being brave enough to share these feelings, its very comforting for the rest of us. i hope all gets better soon and i wish a lot of happiness, positivity, and healing for you! 🌻

[@swiftie_2247]

maia you’ll get better i promise your already building up the most strength ❤️God won’t let you go through things that you cannot handle there is a plan and you will for sure come out of this stronger and happier and ur wavelength will be insane🥺❤️❤️🦋

[@Shindler39]

Hang in there Maia. You will get through this. I will be praying for you. Have a wonderful day:-)

[@sierrabadgley191]

I have post concussion syndrome from my 7 concussions. I have been struggling with it since my most severe, grade 3 concussion that i sustained in a dirt-bike accident in 2015. I was knocked out unconscious. Anxiety and depression has been a big part of my life since that day! I'm glad you're learning how to cope.. It definitely is a big change and is not easy. I wish you the best with your healing, you got this :)

[@triniteew9816]

I need this type of positivity in my life I really need friends like Luca

[@katelynrizzuto7300]

i love seeing what’s actually going in your life. life isn’t perfect :)

[@carterwatkins7449]

Your hair does look good though! Danggggg

[@abbye444]

love this, thank you for sharing, so many people feel this way and its so great to talk about it 💖

[@curlymariehair]

i love you luca! for my part you're the person that make me happy when i watch you ! you're such a strong person and we love you ! 💕

[@tiersazellerhoff]

I love you Luca! You’re videos have helped me through a lot and you are just a great person. Things get hard but you can get through whatever. You are doing great. Keep that beautiful smile on your face. Things will get better just breath. Hope things get better soon ❤️

[@josiemoore7874]

I LOVE THIS VID. This made me feel so normal and I needed this. Thank you❤️

[@swiftie_2247]

love you luca💞🦋it takes a bad day to fully enjoy a good one so dont worry❤️we all go through the most so i hope that comforts a little🥺

[@bianca-cf1ni]

aw i’m so sorry u had a bad day and that u’ve been struggling w anxiety :( i love u so much and i’m always always here for u💗

[@emilysands5494]

thank you so much for being real with us!!! I’m going through the same thing right now!! I also went through an unexpected health problem last week and there was a shooting at my dads work and I fell super behind in my school work. It’s so nice to know that I’m not alone in this!

[@studywithanna]

I hope you start feeling better soon. I’ve also had issues with sleep and anxiety, mostly social anxiety. But hearing you also talk about those things makes people struggling with those problems feel less alone. ❤️ wish you a lovely week, full of positivity💞

[@joelygarrard8624]

Stay strong girl! It always gets better. God loves you and so do we

[@audreyb4907]

love you so much luca. i had a really bad mental health day today filled with anxiety and stress, and seeing this pop up is exactly what i needed. you've helped me through so much in the past - you've truly shown me the way to spirituality and finding myself, so i hope that despite everything you know that you are doing so much good for this world. i hope we can be there for you and provide support when you're struggling too. ❤️❤️❤️

[@courtxoxox4983]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!! the falling asleep thing happened to me the other night and i actually thought something was wrong with me, thank you so much for helping me not feel alone:) hoping that all ur supporters make you feel less alone also!

[@lucybruechert8971]

I totally understand what you are talking about. I had a super big change in my life and I started getting really bad sleep anxiety early in the night. Somethings that help are not looking at your clock (because it stresses you out) also try not to journal at night because it brings up all ur problems and ur mind keeps moving. I know it’s gonna get better tho 🥰🥰🥰

[@chelseangungu1231]

It really helps to know that other people struggle with mental health too. The other day I was literally telling myself that instead of being depressed I should just be happy like Luca which just made me feel guilty. But now knowing that you also go through this stuff makes me feel better and helps me feel like I can get to a positive place like you.

[@mckinzeeskyhawk423]

i felt this whole video on another level, i have another doctors appointment this friday and i’ve been stuck in a bad mental state since august, i hope you start to feel better, you aren’t in this alone💛

[@allisonkate8915]

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when I was only 12 years old, so I totally understand what you’re going through & im really sorry you’re struggling :(

[@marindavison6047]

I love you so much Luca and I appreciate your transparency during a hard time. I admire your strength in sharing so that we can all come together and realize we aren’t alone. It means so much. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️

[@autumntarbox9150]

Thank you for sharing this a lot of people fake that they’re okay and shove it away. But then it blows up in their face. But I’m glad you shared this with us. I love u so much and appreciate you😍

[@amandayoksh]

Love you, Luca. You are an amazing person!

[@rshannon8238]

First of all, you look absolutely gorgeous and your energy is so pure and nice 💕 We are all going through something, and lots of people feel alone because these things aren't talk about too much, so it is wonderful that you are talking about it. Stay strong, you can get through this. Hugs

[@emilyelizabeth3018]

thank you for sharing this Luca, love you💕💕💕

[@annies301]

We love u so much! Thank u for being so real with us

[@gracee2497]

I super appreciate your authenticity and openness recently Luca you are seriously so grounded and a wonderful person

[@miriamkramer7017]

Hey, I totally know what you mean about thinking so much that you can't fall asleep or even control it. this used to be a major problem for me, it would eat away hours of my time. What really helped me was letting go and not trying to control it or shut it down, just accepting it, it calmed it down so much and helped me to fall asleep. Keep being strong, and pushing forward!

[@Val98335]

Thank you for talking about this Luca! Most people, including myself, are too scared to share things like this. 💗

[@calamityandcoffee1246]

ive recently been struggling majorly and genuinely had the worst experience of my life almost a month ago now, but am finally getting therapy after 2 years and am so proud of myself:) this video has really helped me i love you, stay strong!💞

[@jessiewrites4753]

I came across your video about your ICU experience and I subscribed to both of your channels. You come across as very genuine in your videos and you are wise beyond your years! I am in my mid 20s and don’t watch many teen KZbin’s but I love your channels! You are mature and inspiring. I hope your recovery is going ok. You are not alone in this ❤️

[@mishalkhan4096]

I literally replay the beginning of each video at least five times because I love hearing the voice that says everything's going to be fine

[@karenm4252]

I’m always here for you luca💕

[@veronicaadams3361]

I love you so much. You inspire me and I literally want to be best friends. I hope you’re doing well and I hope you get better as soon as possible

[@ggi.v]

hey luca, thank you so much for sharing this with us💕 it doesn’t matter if you’re happy or not in your videos, i still love them! also, could you maybe film a mindful night routine? i’m trying to be more mindful but i really don’t know where to start... have a good dayy☺️

[@patrycjalife7]

struggling with mental health is sooo hard.. I'm kind of depressed and anxious almost all the time sometimes too much to actually do anything and live a normal life Good that you're talking about mental health because it's so important! I wish u all the best :) I'm new here but already like you :D

[@constancamergulhao7012]

I’ve seen your two videos now and I just want to tell you that you’re brave, you’re strong and keep going because you deserve the world! Thank you soooo soooo soooo much for opening up about this situation ❤️ kisses from Portugal🇵🇹❤️😍😘

[@ingvildxo8230]

I feel so sorry for you, dear Luca❤️ You are SO SO, strong! And you have a kind and loving family that love you SO much. ❤️ And i think it is very important that you talk about mental h health, because it’s real. Everyone have bad periods in life, so maybe this is yours. Be strong❤️ I am only in my 20’s and i had to remove my uterus and got the message from my doctor that i NEVER could have children..... I was deppressed for many many months, because it just felt so unfair. But now my happiness i back, i focus on all the good i have in my life! Good family, goood friends, living in a good country with free health care/free operations. And maybe this happend for a reason. That i one day can help a child that really need a kind and loving mommy❤️ so important to focus on the positive, and thank you SO much for helping me so much this year. Because when i had terrible days with the worst pain, i often click in to your channel, and it really helped me. You are special Luca, heart of an angel❤️ And i just wish the very very best! Stay strong girl. Hugs from Norway☃️

[@admirbarucija2018]

I’m proud of you for speaking up about mental health struggles, I hope all is well Luca!! We’re all in this together ❤️

[@Lizzy-hq7yv]

I’m at the end stage of my concussion, and melatonin really helped me in the beginning getting asleep and it’s good for rebuilding brain neurons/connections, etc- not sure exactly what I was just recommended it by my doc!

[@Nic-no8nf]

You should take CBD. It helps rebuild the brain.

[@isabellaconnery9365]

I love your content lately , as I do all of it but this is personal and I can connect to it

[@lilymcqueen7824]

I have been dealing with some of the same issues. I think it’s good to take a break sometimes because I do a lot and it stresses me out. Maybe it’s time to take a break and focus on your self.

[@EvaAntonia1]

Thank you so much for sharing this and your openess

[@anacamilameza3978]

[@DylanWrona]

It’ll get better Luca! We’re here for you.

[@livclrk]

I understand why you feel like you always need to be positive, but at some point realize it is okay to put your guard down. you are so loved no matter what state your mind is in

[@oliviareams2048]

OMG LUCA I HAVE BEEN going through the same exact thing with not being able to fall asleep because of anxiety and the rushing thoughts ! I have slept in my moms bed for the past like week and a half

[@lilymcqueen7824]

Luca stay strong I love you

[@JasmineJohnson]

Stay strong 🥺❤️

[@cassiematsinger2120]

I struggle with anxiety and sleeping at night all the time. I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. God loves you and he wouldn’t let you go through anything you couldn’t handle.. it is apart of Gods plan and he has greater plans for you! For I know the plans I have you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a hope & a future. Jeremiah 29:11 you are strong and stay positive!! You got this!! ❤️ @lucaslife

[@ninabailey8694]

I love ya Luca!!!

[@sonyabaman2218]

we love u luca

[@jackiesmith3299]

i had the same exact thing! for some reason when it starts to get dark out and when it starts to be bed time my anxiety peaks. cbd oil helps put me to sleep. also, therapy saved my life. i also has a concussion tht effected my mental health. it seems hopeless, but it does get better i promise. your brain needs time to heal. all i can say is hold on; pain ends.

[@ellaruby6089]

I love being early to your vids!!

[@annakathaleen1874]

we have a bunch of similar top 100 songs!! i’ll have to listen to your playlist to find more music!!

[@katerussell7378]

Try reading the psalms when you are anxious! It always helps me and brings me peace :) God brings a peace that passes all understanding!

[@Janiiii]

Hey Luccaaaaaaaaaa God! blesssss youuu I just wanted to remind you that God! loves you. He has a plan and purpose for u. He is always there for you, and if you ever feel anxiety I recommend that you pray and cast your anxiety on him. Have faith and give it all to God! Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7

Try rescue remedy. It’s natural and helps panic attacks. Also praying. I swear it works so much if you believe 💕💕💕 praying that you feel better really soon

[@paigesimpson4398]

Do you have a link to your Spotify?

[@elainemfisher3218]

I find if I listen to a book when going to sleep it helps me not get all wound up in worries.

[@fraiIbug]

Hi I love you! I haven’t watched it yet but I hope everything’s alright!🥰

[@chelseyrose13]

wow I'm early, any who love you Luca!!

[@emmyjeanhasacamera]

Have you ever considered using CBD or THC to sleep? I’m not sure if THC is the best option considering you’re already struggling with anxiety but I highly, HIGHLY recommended just giving the cbd a try. I have known tons of people to really find help with it, including some family members struggling with no polar psychosis and no sleep, plus my dog who had cancer! I’m really proud of you for sharing and I’m keeping you in my prayers ♥️

[@TheBookOfRoo]

What do you mean when you said your main channel? Is this not your main channel?

[@sgw8680]

Try some melatonin or sleep gummies I’ve had issues with sleeping and anxiety and found it really helps!!

[@allisonberdichevsky]

Definitely would love a playlist. She mentioned so many good songs! Can anyone tell what song Luca says after Clairo - Bags?!?!

[@giamacchione8970]

Cbd is what helps me w anxiety💗💗

[@ciarax4670]

Luca I love all your deep interesting content at the minute!! (Hope you’re getting better btw💙💚💛🧡❤️) but COULD YOU PLEASE do a video on what it’s like to be an only child?? I’m so interested to know!

[@usamarafieck1715]

I get anxiety also when I'm in crowds?

[@Missmarymacxo]

My family has been going through a lot and it made me very anti social and it’s really hard to go out and be social

[@marammaaroufi6093]

Honestly same..except my bff no one knows about what I'm going through...mentally no body actually knows what I'm ACTUALLY going through...but some friends that I have are asking me what is going on..why our relationship isn't the same..but honesty I feel like I don't owe any explanations to any body but myself and it's OK sometimes to just cope with your problems with your own self...at least that's what I've been saying to myself... Reading these comments made me realise...that everyone goes through something sometimes and we don't even know...and it's ok❤❤

[@Missmarymacxo]

Maram Maaroufi I totally feel that ! I hope you are able to heal soon ! 💕💕

[@emmasolgaard3815]

I’ve had these issues before and nothing that my therapist told me to do helped... So I tried out this meditation app called SimpleHabit. And trust me, my sleep issues disappeared immediately! I’m a creature of habits and routines too❤️ and adding this into my everyday routine made me so happy and relaxed❤️

[@sophiecmoyer]

Maybe consider getting a weighted blanket? Or try putting your comforter in the dryer and then take it out and immediately get in bed.

Have you tried taking medicine to help with your anxiety?
