MY MOM DOES DRUGS!

[@heearrt]

I loved how you decided to share that you go to a therapist, thank you for the advice you are always so motivational, love you

[@Kaylaskye]

This was a great video, thanks for sharing that with us. I think far too many ppl feel ashamed and weak for reaching out for help, but in reality they are the strong ones who have the drive to move forward and improve their lives! It's admirable.

[@sofiam3530]

Therapy is soooo helpful....! You go girl, women power!

[@SkillfulSinner]

How is therapy women power?

[@sofiam3530]

I'm trying to cheer her up... Gosh!!! People are so dumb

[@Googsyolovideos]

Hey men go to therapy too >.> it really helped me :P

[@mackenzie3356]

Ya

[@mortarblues5476]

Carly's family is absolutely amazing and ideal that I wish I had or could create my own. Just one day the sun will shine

[@bibo170]

Therapy is essentially having an insightful conversation with someone you trust, I'm fairly certain we have all done that at some point in our lives, however- some of us pay for a professional and some people will just talk to a close buddy. Good job, keep up the good work.

[@RubyWoo98]

I'm 15 and have been in therapy most of my life and it actually does help so much.

[@AMessofPickles]

Aw Carlie! This was such a good vlog. It's just nice to have a really comfortable environment where, even when the topic is kind of on the heavy side (ex. therapy), you still keep things light and good. Anyways, I've just been really loving your videos lately! Good luck with the soccer game! :D

[@soccersoccerwhoawhoa]

Carlie, grab 2 or 3 soccer balls and ask your players to pass an run, this way they will be receiving a pass quite often, and moving into space. Ask them to pass it, then look for another person with the ball, and call for it. Pass an move drill, great for kids at that age

[@meaganmillermm]

You are honestly making me cry right now. The way you are explaining everything is wrong exactly the way I'm feeling. Ive gone thru eating disorders, deep depression, horrible relationships that I'm having a hard time balancing my life now. I've been fighting therapy because a lack of money but you really helped me think clearly about the things going on in my life. ❤ its nice to see someone being honest about things they've gone thru or are going thru

[@beckyh9637]

Carlie, thank you for being so open and honest. you're such an inspiring person and I thank you for always being their for your viewers! Good luck on the soccer game! xo

[@KimTheGoodGirl]

Even therapists have therapists :)

[@ivygmni]

Being able to admit your problems is the first step to change, and I find that very brave of you Carlie. Not many people can be real with themselves.

[@eelizzeee]

I think what helps is refecting on your own actions! So I'm studying to be a social worker and we have to reflect alllllllll the dang time. We use this: step 1: Describe the event you want to reflect on. Don't use opinions, just describe. Step 2: Describe your thoughts: What were you thinking while doing what you did? Also describe what you think the other person was thinking. Step 3: Describe your feelings. What were you feeling during? Also describe what you think the other person was thinking. Step 4: Describe what you then did, after the event happened. How did you handle it? What did you say? Etcetera. Step 5: Describe alternatives: What will you do different (or the same!) the next time something equal to this happens? And what are and will be the consequenses? I hope someone will read this and start using it. It helped me SO much. :)

[@makeupgirl330]

Im 16 years old and I watch your whole family's videos and I just watched this and I wanted to say how much I admire and respect you and everything you've ever done. you're a great role model and an incredibly strong woman and you inspire me

[@Heatherkc1995]

I love how your so open carlie, you seriously inspire me so much to be a better person. Thank you!!!

[@emieexxxxxx]

Carlie knowing that u could be open with us about your therapy makes me feel so happy. I'm 18 and I've had to go to therapy for reasons that I still can't come to grips with and I've always hidden it from people and felt ashamed because I thought I was stupid or there was something wrong with me cause I had to go. Thank u so much for being open with us , it's given me more confidence with talking about my situation now and has made me feel that little bit more ok with it xo

[@auroraabborealis]

I love how interactive you are with us Carlie! Weather it be favoriting tweets on twitter (thank you for even replying to some of mine!) Or wanting to help us with our problems, it's nice to know you are not only thinking of yourself but us as well when asking questions.

[@Imadeabooboo69]

Nothing wrong with seeing a therapist! Its good to have someone to talk to! ;-)

[@joactive]

dude yay you carlie! everyone in this life should go to therapy! because either you emotionally beat up on your loved ones or talk it over with someone with you don't know that will be able to be a 3rd party! and its not fair to loved ones to have emotional stuff taken out on them! I love therapy and will go forever! it helps so much

[@sarahhetrick7826]

I love how genuine and open Carlie is. I truly feel like she cares about her viewers and she always seems to make me feel better. Thanks Carlie and good luck with your soccer team! :)

[@ashleyreisenauer1327]

There's no reason to ever be ashamed of going to therapy. Like you said its healthy and even the strongest people need to talk to someone at times. You are very strong and always have people admiring you :)

[@kelseyann92]

That's awesome Carlie! But definitely don't EVER think that you can't be independent/strong AND go to counseling. I wish everyone would go to counseling lol.

[@Jointjo]

going to therapy makes you that much stronger of a person. Because it proves that you are strong enough to admit that you are not perfect and aren't afraid to get help!

[@rachelmalle2029]

I think that you totally should do more videos with mental health awareness! Its amazing you are sharing something so personal like this. I also struggle with an eating disorder and therapy and group work definitely helps with the issue! Your an inspiration Carlie!

[@taylorgillman8870]

I've been in therapy for years.. It's nice to have 45 mins a week focusing on you and guide you

[@Alliesterwong]

Carlie, I am so thankful that you opened up to us. I am a college student who is studying psychology and counseling and I am a HUGE advocate for counseling! Counseling can help people learn who they are and what they're capable of and it also can be helpful in showing people that life is a journey and counseling can equip them with new strategies for loving and tackling life. Unfortunately, therapy has such a negative stigma attached to it, when in reality, it is such a wonderful tool. So many people see going to therapy as a weakness but it is a way to process changes and gain strategies to go through life happily! I encourage everyone to go to counseling, even when their lives are going smoothly (if it's and option and a financial possibility) because it is so healthy to process your thoughts with someone else. Thank you for being open! With your openness, I hope that others will find the courage to seek out professional help! You are amazing!

[@DailyAnni]

I love you Carlie, that what I needed to hear today!

[@36emma62]

Think this is the best video you have made. I have been in therapy for years and have been very open about it and I love seeing people who are in the public eye say that they are in therapy. This is huge for everyone who is in therapy and who might want to go but feel that they are not 'bad' enough to go. So happy you made this video! Love you and the content you have put out! You are a huge inspiration in my life because of you I am getting fit. I'm excepting who I am (which is hard to do when you have been knocked down a couple of times). You are an amazing women! :D

[@marissaleafe1793]

That talk was everything and anything that Ive needed to hear from someone lately cause I literally was not believing myself when all these things would run though my mind. Thank you for always being uplifting!

[@StoicMiles]

I used to be a loner because I had awful friends in the past. I was content with being alone without opening up or talking to anyone. In this past year I have realized that I really do need to talk to people and I do need to express myself to others. So Carlie we are all in the same boat, never be embarrassed to go to therapy. Therapy is another way of improving yourself and that's what you are all about. You are awesome for opening up to us!

[@phoebescutter1347]

thank you for sharing carlie! i always felt like i was weak and that i was 'abnormal' for going to a therapist, but eventually i realise reaching out for help makes you stronger because your admitting you have an issue that your willing to fix or deal with. and i never felt like i could admit i had a problem but now i only see my therapist one a month because of my progress and she says i've been doing really well, i feel strong and empowered, it was the hardest thing I've done in my whole life even though I'm only 14 haha but i was worth it for the outcome :) xx

[@Kaidec0910]

Going to therapy is NOT a sign of weekends but, a sign of STRENGTH!! I think every person needs some therapy at some point in their lives. Good for you for going and good for you for sharing. People tend to make therapy a bad word and its not and there should be no shame in going!!!!!! I hope you are able to work through what ever it is quick. Oh, a tip if you do not click or feel something comfortable with a therapist, go to a different until you find one that you work well with!!! Good luck!!!!

[@jessicawhiting3511]

Thankyou for telling us that Carlie. Im 13 and im going through alot of anxiety and i keep having melt downs. I just started high school and i have to make new friends and all. I really think that helped me! I always struggle with things like self doubt and i feel like what i do isnt good enough!

[@cathytran5702]

I'm a few months away from graduating high school (my profile picture was from sophomore year). My advice to you, as someone who just started, is to find a solid group of friends. Sometimes you'll strike gold with friends who have your best interest at heart, but there may also be people who will take pleasure in your failure but don't fret it. Freshman year I was lucky enough to find a mentor. He's guided me through my life for the past four years and is one of the two people who pushed me in the direction of practicing gratitude. Any time you feel down, think about all the things you are thankful for, especially the things that seem basic, like a bed, food, legs, fingers, sight, etc. It really helps put things into perspective, at least it does for me. I was extremely shy and hated being the center of attention, freshman year and now I am outgoing and outspoken (lol). I am extremely emotional and I also have melt downs but anytime that happens I try to close my eyes and experience my "upset-ness". Eventually I realize that life should not be spent in a constant state of sadness. If something or someone brings sadness into your life, let it/them go. Nothing is worth your tears.

[@Erica-wx1th]

Going off with what Cathy said about finding a solid group of friends, try joining a sport or maybe theatre if you have an after school theatre program at your school! Doing that really helps you create a solid friendship with people because you see them almost everyday, and you share something in common. I joined theatre my sophomore in high school and it was the best decision I have ever made because I had a solid group of friends who I now think of as family. High School really is some of the best years of your life because it's when you start to figure out what you want to do with your life and you really get to figure out yourself! Just enjoy everything and try new stuff out!

[@maltieb559]

Dear Jessica, I'm 29 and found Carlie's video very honest and helpful similarly. I just want to wish you the very best. Cathy, you made me smile... I took a second there to appreciate my fingers :)

[@TheMaggiemcgrath22]

thanks for being so strong and inspirational carlie. i just concluded therapy this week after two and half months and it was life changing.

[@RicePudden]

Only a strong women could tell us all about something you find, or found embarrassing. Major props Carlie!

[@aussielexi]

thank you for sharing that, Carlie. I have depression and constantly have a mental struggle of being ashamed about it. I did go to counselling for a while and only two people in my life knew about it because I was ashamed. it helps to know that not just "crazy" people go to counselling.

[@Marattie39]

Carlie, I truly admire your strength. Thank you for always be so open and honest!

[@eleshaburgess8567]

It's not enough to put good things out into the world, you have to believe in the core of your being that you deserve the best.

[@ohsnap4966]

very true

[@RebeccaLauren6]

You go girl!! I have been going to therapy for a while now. I went through a tough time with my relationship and losing my job. I felt like my life was falling apart! Therapy is great and super helpful. So glad you are seeing someone.

[@melissaalexandraa]

Carlie butt! I'm studying to be a counselor a social worker in particular and this process has just added to my belief that engaging in progressive conversation is SO important. There are so many aspects of our lives we don't think about or openly express that need to be discussed! It's such a great thing. So glad you are having a good experience

[@yehudit33]

I didnt know you gone through abuse and eating disorders and it made me so sad to hear it- you are an amazing women and mom and so power full I am happy that you find something that help you and you dont need to feel bad about it I AM PROUD OF YOU AND LOVE YOU- GOOD LUCK

[@UrTotallyPro]

Carlie, You are such a role model for me and you aren't any less of a person for going to therapy. I actually think it makes you stronger for being able to confront your problems. Thank you for always being honest with us :) Love you!

[@FakeDeadGone]

I love the fact that you shared with us that you are going to therapy! It's nothing that we should be embarrassed about. In my stress management class we talked about a theory that when we are more open and less secretive we can better improve ourselves

[@makeuphappy1]

Carlie yes anybody can use therapy and going to therapy to better yourself is a very smart decision!You are such a sweetie,awesome momma and just a genuine kind hearted person!God bless and hugs from Oregon!!:)

[@auntiem0thman]

Major hugs and good vibes to you, Carlie! I'm glad you're in a good relationship with a good man who loves and respects both you and Cooper and I'm also glad we got to see this side of you. You didn't have to be so vulnerable and raw in the open like this but the fact that you felt strong enough to choose to says a lot about you. You're great, girl. Keep shining, I hope good things continue to come your way :)

[@OriginalFaceless]

Thanks for being open with us. I'm 14 and I've just been told by a counselling service they can't do anything because my aniexty,depression and ocd is too high for what they can offer. So now I have to go to a mental health service. Glad you shared the therapy info with us! :)

[@PeaceFaithHopeLove]

my favorite types of videos that you make are these because you get to see parts of your life but then you also give a really inspirational message

[@emcfashion]

Going to therapy takes a lot of courage to open up to someone. It shows strength and that you want better yourself. Hope your getting the outlet you are looking for, a healthy mind makes a healthy life.

[@rosierose30]

thanks for sharing carlie, i can relate and i appreciated hearing your thoughts. i used to have such a strong mind and trusted myself more than anything, but once i moved away to college, i started doubting myself and fell into such a deep depression that i lost touch of myself for 2 years and have just recently started to love myself again. its hard being judged so harshly, so i admire you for talking about this part of your life. you are gorgeous by the way!

[@oclover87]

Thanks for this Carlie! On my mind today, which put in a really frustrated annoyed mood is that- earlier this week I started this incredible amazing job opportunity which I already feel massively under-qualified for but so grateful the the chance to grow and learn. In my message correspondence with who I considered my best friend in high school but who've constantly been trying to detach from since it's a negative relationship. I received a message from her with a seemingly insincere congrats and asking what I would be doing. She then in a very polite disguised manner diminished my accomplishments asking if I was just an intern than rather than a full time position. After feeling like I had to explain my position etc, she answered with 'that's good. And continued to talk about herself.' While I knew it was a negative relationship, I don't know why I feel that I need that external approval- by someone who's always made me feel bad about myself and make me doubt my capabilities. When I know internally, that I did good. Anyways, a rant to my fav youtuber saying that I get what you mean and this is what's been plaguing my mind with negative energy. I think that finding that internal pride and confidence is something I still need to work on!

[@raihein]

Hey Carly. I am all pro therapy and i don't know why you should be ashamed of that. This is you helping YOU. I know you have been through tough time. Being in same kind of situation, i understand you and i am glad you are DOING something about it and changing habits. You know the ebook Shay is listening now, about habits. I am listening it also and I understand a lot more about my life.. I want to be a better mom for my son too and break loose from old life/habits/hate/behavior... So i am glad you are breaking loose from old habits and want to create something beautiful for you and for your son and also for the man you love, Steve. Love from Estonia

[@giovi9992]

I love your vlogs and I'm glad you found your happiness in therapy. I am a psych major. Unfortunately some people are "crazy" but there are diagnosis for this. Therapy for regular people are all about becoming a better person, the most you can be. Overcoming fears and becoming healthy. Wish you the best. Blessings!

[@fullhouseyep]

that's nothing to be ashamed of! You're so brave for admitting that you need or want to go and for actually seeking help!

[@Beccy231]

Even the strongest people need someone to talk to. Thanks for opening up to us a bit more Carlie never feel ashamed of asking for help or going to see someone about your problems :)

[@brooke5994]

Yeah Carlie you go chick, you are always such an inspiration. Seeing you striving for self improvement is such a huge motivation outlet for myself(and im sure others) way to go girl.

[@Kellys1010]

Thanks for sharing something so personal with us. I have wanted to go to therapy for a long time. I don't have any emotional or mental issues or anything like that, but I think it would be so nice to be able to share my feelings with someone who I don't know, who would be nonjudgemental and unbiased. More like a mentor. Good luck!

[@Claudiaarianaa11]

I wanna hear so so much more from u on this subject, u can be like all our therapists. Ive always been a deep thinker as they say and always thought therapy would benefit me, but I have crappy insurance and am not able to go. hearing you say the things were u talking about made me feel so validated and I could totally relate to every word. ur such a good role model :)

[@cuteteenlife5633]

I love how you are so motivated and not ashamed to tell us things like this. Good luck with the soccer training xx 💕

[@Deppdevotions]

Hey Carlie! I think your progress has been shining through lately! I've been going to therapy for my own reasons and to hear you admit to doing so honestly makes me so happy! Thank you!!

[@rebeccahannah4879]

I really look up to Carlie and to tell us the things that have made you stronger, I am very grateful! Thank you!

[@1weirdgurl]

I have been in and out of therapy for years it is not a sign of weakness it's a sign of strength! Bettering yourself is always a good thing!

[@MissAllaCinderella]

We all need someone to talk to about our day - to - day struggles. Maybe she doesn't have that safe person in her life, and this is helping her release some tension that I'm sure builds up being a single mother. Glad she is getting the help she needs. :)

[@becksalot123]

Love you Carlie! Always enjoy your vlogs. You speak from the heart and I appreciate that. My daughter is 18 months old, and I look up to you as a mother. You're so amazing with Cooper and I hope me and my daughter are as close as you and your son one day.

[@jenniferdhawan6278]

Carlie, you are so strong and such a motivation to me always! Thanks for sharing something so personal. You've been through a lot and you're right, it wasn't your fault, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Thanks for motivating me right now!! Love you lots!

[@superchix06]

wow listening to your little speech made me feel so good :) You go Carlie!

[@coleyy29]

thank you so much for the motivational talks carlie!! They always get me going to think about myself bc some how i always get off the track and stop thinking about the goals i strive to achieve. xx

[@lovetolove011]

Carlie you are so strong and brave for sharing that with us, thank you for being open and so out there with your life in general! You are amazing and beautiful person inside and out! Thank you for the advice and for sharing with all of us your personal life dreams and struggles you are an inspiration.

[@kimh0077]

You are so brave for opening up like that, Carlie! I wish I was that brave.

[@AnthonyPDC]

Hey Carlie, it's so nice of you to let Cooper edit your videos. He did such a good job on this one! ;)

[@537ish]

there is such a stigma and i hate it! people think youre weak minded if you do to therapy but that is NOT true! Everyone needs someone to talk to! i mean we talk to our friends about our problems...but its different when we talk to a professional? i dont get it! Carlie, im so glad you shared this with us. your breaking the STIGMA with the thoughts youre sharing. THANK YOU. im studying to become a therapist and i feel strongly about sending that positive message about seeking help through therapy bc so many people feel like they cant or they will be judged. MUCH LOVE XO

[@funnyface2929]

Good for you for going to therapy. It shows you're strong enough to admit you can't do everything alone.

[@XxTrAcEyJxX]

You're so amazing Carlie. I love how open you are with us. You're so great at giving suggestions & advice. Thank you so much for being you! xo

[@cxor1712]

when Steve said "I'd make the parents do push ups. I would be just ugly" 😂😂

Thank you for being such an inspiration! I wish I could meet you one day, you seem like such a caring and considerate person!

[@TassieM12]

It'd be great to hear more about your eating disorder, and how you overcame it. I'm recovered (for the most part) but some thoughts will still creep in. I think it would be great to hear your story!

[@luckycharms4m3]

Wow, that was an awesome speech/rant! You really do seem so genuine :)

[@tatianamaeve]

carlie thats so good to hear! you could totally become a motivational speaker or something

[@annafookson6242]

Your so strong for making the bold decision to go to therapy even though it could be looked at as a weakness!

[@JonnyG]

why is this family so entertaining?!?!?!?!?! I have a midterm tomorrow but i'm binge watching your videos :(

[@totalH20]

I'm proud of you Carlie! I was stubborn against getting help for myself and yes it is still a process but therapy is helpful and if I have learnt anything from it, it is that our life is ours and we can do whatever we want with it and if you want to be sad and have a sad life then that's what will happen but no one really wants to be unhappy so we can strive for happiness more and more each day :)

[@Guntobond]

Thank you Carlie, we have been having ups and downs currently and this opened up my mind. :)

[@erinb5461]

This helped alot, thanks Carlie. You're an amazing person.

[@lucysage1108]

I think it's great that you're are coaching football (soccer). I've been coaching kids for a while and find it useful to play lots of small games. Playing games where they all have their own ball will stop them fighting over it and allow them to get get a feel for dribbling the ball. Good luck! :)

[@LadySunSweet]

I really like this vlog, thank you for being so open and sincere! I believe is true, therapy can help you discover things about yourself, improve relationships, and let go of things that are toxic.

[@blanchecoconut]

im so glad you took this step for yourself, i hope it really helps your heart and your relationship with men and marriage etc! you go carlie!

[@freehab.5175]

Good for you! Mental health needs to be talked about more openly just like this!! Great vid :)

[@cathytran5702]

Lately, I've been wanting to go to a therapist, not so much because I have family issues or whatever else people associate therapy with, but because I want to understand myself at a deeper level. I want to experience every emotion under a magnifying glass. I want to sort through my thoughts and ideas. I want answers to questions that I constantly ask myself. I have a mentor. He is my "therapist", to some extent. When I go off to college, I won't be able to go speak with him whenever I want. I'll miss being able to go in and talk to someone about everything without restraint.

[@MrsKeane25]

So impressed you put the therapy out there. As a person who has used it too I can say the stigma is the worst part. The more we admit to need a mind dr as much as a skin dr or eye dr the more socially acceptable it will become.

[@loganpark2276]

Carlie, my buddy Michael Collins passed away last week after being hit by a drunk driver. Michael was coming home from a sorority social with his date and two others in a car with a designated driver when they were struck. After his passing, a friend of mine started a page on Facebook called "Pay it forward for Michael Collins" where people from all over the nation are doing random acts of kindness in his name. I encourage you to check this out, spread awareness about drunk driving, and possibly even pay it forward in Idaho to spread the selflessness and love Michael always had. #MCstrong chiconashoestringdecorating.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-messy-beautiful-story-pay-it-forward.html

[@fleuricaa]

I love you more because you were so open about therapy. I've been going for years and people outside of my immediate family still don't know.. thanks Carlie! Maybe one day I'll be able to come out of the closet, so to speak, too.

[@flybyfamily]

You're a beautiful person Carlie. On the inside and out! I enjoyed your motivation talk at the end! :)

[@kirstiefarquhar5363]

Your speech in your car was so sweet I started to cry ^_^

[@mitchgant]

Maybe because I have lived my whole life here on the East Coast around major metropolitan cities I don't see anything strange about people going to therapy. It is probably one of the most normal things people can do to deal with their issues. And we all have issues. I have often thought of how awesome it would be to have a therapist to bounce thoughts and ideas off of. Totally normal Carly, and healthy. That being said, from all of your appearances in others and your videos, you seem to have your shit together a lot more than most people, so whatever you have been doing is working. Keep up the awesome.

[@ninakozak5866]
