[@ellyrenee]

Hygiene is so hard with depression. Thanks for addressing this❤️

[@cafewithmonica]

It is and we hardly address it. So hopefully these tips make the mornings more bearable.

[@finnmarie]

this may be a strange thing to say but your voice is very well suited to be a therapist ❤ it’s so soothing and comforting

[@cafewithmonica]

Aww thanks for such a sweet and kind comment. It means alot!

[@valerieyoungren7561]

That’s what I love taking a shower at night because it’s more relaxing and calming

[@cafewithmonica]

It really is!

[@anamiikaaaaaaaa]

I love this. Iam struggling with my mental health issues rn and was really trying to push myself and i saw this video.. Love it thank you new subscriber

[@cafewithmonica]

So happy to have you here! I hope you found some helpful tips and your treating yourself with kindness during this season.

[@madisonanaya]

I love your approach to take it gentle in the morning! Such a refreshing perspective that I needed!

[@cafewithmonica]

Slow and steady! there is so much pressure to wake up at the crack of dawn 🙃

[@kashika_strawberry.lipstic4624]

such a helpful video. i felt instantly comforted by your vibe, and you took time to explain each point rather than hurriedly skimming through them. thank you very much, i hope we all have better days soon ❤

[@cafewithmonica]

Thanks for such a kind comment. I hope this video gave you what you needed.

[@Jgfujgujhfhk]

Did it help? Have you overcame from depression?

[@readingwtea]

I know that depression can be different for everyone and on some days I absolutely don’t feel like doing my makeup but sometimes it helps in order to not lay back into bed. I find myself struggling with coming up with motivation for those things but it always helps me to watch grwm videos on KZbin

[@cafewithmonica]

I do the same for cleaning motivation it helps watching someone do the action I’m trying to achieve 👍🏻

[@104kewpiefiori]

Not even 1 minute qnd i already know this will help me

[@cafewithmonica]

That makes me so happy to hear ❤️

[@sandraviegas7298]

hi :) i really liked that you showed how it feels trying to get out of bed. there is all this pressure inside for doing stuff. I love your authenticity. just watching your video gives me comfort, even if i am not paying much attention. thank you so much!!

[@cafewithmonica]

Appreciate the kind comment ❤️ I hope your day is a good one ❤️

[@imaanguinko7010]

Thank you very much. You really helped me. When nobody looks at you it's very difficulf to get up ❤

[@cafewithmonica]

Glad I could help ❤️

[@Mybougiehippylife]

Thank you for this motivation! I was searching for a realistic morning routine and this popped up and helped me get going. ❤❤❤ sending lots of good vibes your way! Thank you for making this and being realistic.

[@susanrobson2192]

I get very anxious and stressed about things

[@cafewithmonica]

I hope this video was helpful

[@Divine__Hala]

I definitely have to get up slowly I snooze my alarm to go off in 10 mins I spend that time stretching in bed and my alarm is a gentle motivational song. brushing my teeth before I do anything else in the morning helps wake me up more. I have a tshirt and sweatpants combo that I go to when I know Im having a day

[@cafewithmonica]

I love that your alarm is a motivational song! Those alarm sounds can be so jarring! Sounds like you are working toward a morning routine that works for you 💕

[@anaquezia5532]

Thank you for this video

[@BigDaddyZaddy2324]

Yes that’s definitely what I go through

[@cafewithmonica]

I hope some of these shared tips help you out! Take care of yourself this winter season❤️

[@ronjaottosson5794]

What weelky planner do you use? :) Im not using one right now but think it would be helpfull for me

[@cafewithmonica]

@@ronjaottosson5794 there are so many planners I recommend but my fav is the quarterly planner by hustle sanely and the weekly planner by lavendaire (shown in video).

[@philcooke87]

Just started fluoxetine and took it at 10am first second and third day and its really made my depression 10xworse that fast so im going to try take it 10pm while im asleep, has this helped anyone else taking there depression tablets at night? I hope its better

[@cafewithmonica]

I’ve had clients have similar experiences and taking it at night has helped but definitely follow up with your doctor to make sure it’s the right dosage for you sometimes you’ll just need to tweek it with your doctor. I hope it works out for you and you see improvement.

[@SiljeMeum]

Gentle mornings with small kids.. I don't feel like there's not much room for my emotions these days.. Also, the better my sleep is and my sleep hygiene, the better the mornings. But life is unpredictable.

[@cafewithmonica]

While I can’t fully understand your experience since I don’t have kids of my own. Even just a small moment in the morning where you splash water take a deep breathe just to let your body know it’s okay. I have so much admirations for moms you all have so much on your plate and if you haven’t heard it today I am so proud of you ❤️ it’s not easy being a mom and I know you’re trying your best.

[@SiljeMeum]

@@cafewithmonica it's easy to put the focus outside of you, but making space for myself, even if it's just 5 minutes will make a difference ❤️ Thank you for your video and your thoughts 🙏🏼

[@julsca3738]

I’ve turned off the phone and walked back to bed. I just attempted t go to the shower walked to the kitchen. Ate. Then went back to my rooom with towels in my arms.

[@cafewithmonica]

Keep the towel by your bedside if you happen to get more energy later attempt again. I hope you have a good day.

[@abegailelaurza5919]

As a fresh graduate, waking up made me had a morning anxiety.

[@cafewithmonica]

I am so sorry to hear that! I've found having a slow morning routine, even if it means waking up a tad earlier, works best for me! But I hope you find whatever works for you! ❤️ I have a video on becoming a morning person, if you're interested! Here's the link to watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqWmi4ppgrqqr8k

[@linaisnther]

it feels like every day is wasted and i haven't done even basic tasks

[@cafewithmonica]

I hope better days come ❤️

[@MarianaFerreira-l1f]

im in bipolar depression episode I have never been this low im not being able to go to classes

[@cafewithmonica]

@@MarianaFerreira-l1f if your school offers free therapy sessions I would definitely take advantage of them sometimes it’s already paid through your tuition if your a college student.

[@hazarafilm172]

Yh Hygiene really matters🌼

[@EmmaM-q1l]

I’ve been getting up super late and it actually makes it worse Becos I’m rushing around and feeling stressed

[@cafewithmonica]

I totally understand that, Emma! Morning routines can be hard to stick to, especially in the winter when your bed is warm and cozy. If your current routine is stressing you out, I hope you can find a realistic routine that feels good to you very soon! Rooting for you!

[@EmmaM-q1l]

@ I actually got up at 7am today and went to the gym and I felt much more better for it less tired and more energy throughout the day ❤️ it was hard but so worth it

[@art_math_enjoy]

Hopefully Exercise/plan/walk

[@cafewithmonica]

That’s great 👍🏻

[@weslataylor9726]

Thank you for doing this video because im a 9 year old suffering with anxiety. If i ask for help or stuff like this i get called "Dramatic".... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤❤❤❤🥹

[@cafewithmonica]

I’m glad it was helpful

[@john-o2e6h]

This doesn't address chronic depression/anxiety

[@weslataylor9726]

@@john-o2e6h I'm very aware of this I'm just addressing that sometimes we get called certain things because of our conditions when we ask for tips and advice. Not meaning to adress chronic depression. I hope this clears that up. have a great day!

[@cafewithmonica]

@@john-o2e6h I can definitely address this in another video. 👍🏻

[@john-o2e6h]

No offence I just don't like when therapist online put down Anxiety and depression. But there is a huge difference in chronic depression and chronic anxiety than someone who is functioning, working, socialising, etc, than someone who is bedridden, suicidal ideation, on benzos, being hospitalised. I would rather you used mild depression and mild anxiety. But that's just my take on it. Thanks for helping people anyhow, John in Ireland

The best I can do right now is put clean clothes on 🤦‍♀️

[@cafewithmonica]

I'm thinking of you Crystal! If that's the best you can do right now, that's the best you can do. Be gentle with yourself ❤️ Sending you a virtual hug!

[@crystalvisions6558]

@ aww thank you! That’s so sweet 🥲 ❤️

[@lizwitshevu9884]

God so loved the the world that he gave his only begotten son that he gave him to the world to die for our sins that whosoever believe him may not die but have eternal life. With that death came the gift if the Holy Spirit of God and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and so I share this to comfort you and say that truly he does save and if your feeling hopeless just call out to him in faith and see what he does.
