[@kacey4137]

Thank you for being real about not feeling so great mentally. It can’t be easy to vlog when you’re feeling like that, but normalizing it helps so many. We appreciate you and hope you’re feeling better soon.

[@sandrapandalesque8903]

what they/she said,... literally.

[@kendallcreed8437]

i know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream new movies online?

[@jeffersonmarshall3926]

@Kendall Creed Try flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@julianbraden2444]

@Kendall Creed i use flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@peterbrycen1680]

@Kendall Creed I use flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@jadeelizabeth21]

I wont lie, uni really fucked me up whenever i got to finals. I would just totally neglect myself and only realise when it felt like i was so alone and drowning. Remember that you deserve to be loved and cared for, while thats usually by the other humans you surround yourself its also loving and caring for yourself. I hope you are okay and remember that this is only a fleeting moment in the expanse of your life and soon it'll pass as fast as it appeared.

[@gumplex101]

Aw yay hi! I was thinking about you this week after realizing you hadn’t posted in a little bit. Hope you’re doing well Noelle ♥️♥️✨

[@annakarlien1952]

So proud of you for just being like "I'm not doing well" and taking action?? That's really admirable! Hope you'll feel a bit better soon. Honestly, I've been terrible and just watching your vlogs from last year for comfort and that really helps, so I hope you find something equally helpful (I mean I could def suggest your vlog from a year ago but like that might not do the trick for you haha)

[@mariane5395]

This!!!!!

[@stephanieregaliza]

Ooooo I have a joke for you! Why do we tell actors to "break a leg?" ............ because every play has a cast! :D bahahahha got that from Google. Hope that makes you giggle. Hope you feel better soon 💕

[@TG-ob5fn]

😁🤣🤣🤣👯‍♀️

[@isabellegustafsson8469]

Send positivity hugs to everyone struggling right now! So nice to know I’m not the only one who’s having a hard time with uni and life in general

[@aiklarkibheegibhaagisi]

Since noelle didn’t have a joke: Where do fruits go to vacation? Pear-is!

[@sorcellerie]

Severely underrated piece of comedic literature, thank you lmaoo

[@aiklarkibheegibhaagisi]

@@sorcellerie thank you, thank you

[@yuvywho]

@@sorcellerie severely underrated piece of sarcastic writing, thank you lol

[@CarolMarieReads]

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling 100%. I too love to just pause and get out into nature and relax alone when I’m feeling off. 💜 I enjoy stream of conscious journaling. It helps my anxiety.

[@cassandralyne]

My journal is legitimately just word and thought vomit. Half sentences... just thoughts and notes and feelings. I never go back and re-read anything because I just want it to be feelings and thoughts out flowing. But it also marks some significant events that have happened. It’s super helpful, personally. I’ve been doing it for the last two years and it’s completely free flow.

[@himbae95]

Really interesting that you don‘t re-read! Journaling feels really daunting to me for some weird reason, I know I doesn‘t have to be a literary masterpiece haha. Not re-reading might take some pressure off for me. 🙏🏼

[@cassandralyne]

@@himbae95 I think maybe one day I will eventually when I am so far removed from everything I'm going through doesn't sting so bad. I recognize that sometimes re-reading trauma is like re-living it sometimes and can be re-traumatizing all over. -- which is why I typically avoid it. My journals are just a place for me to get out everything. Sometimes I write super pretty and almost bullet journal the page and other times it's the sloppiest writing and a legit hot mess. It's my 100% no judgement space for my brain dump, thoughts, and feelings. I HIGHLY recommend trying it!

[@farrahwho]

i journal the same way!! i found that re-reading my entires would lead me to ruminate about certain things for longer so i made a hard rule for myself to just Not Read them back for a long time lol

[@mbl722]

I do the same. Sometimes I just have to get that out of my brain and heart. I tend to shred after.

[@aaaeia]

i do the same thing! also although sometimes i feel compelled to reread my entries, i literally CANT because it kinda triggers me and might send me spiraling back to that place lol. but yeah! unstructured journalling like this actually really helps

[@bibianabor6028]

Hoping you will feel better. Your mental health should be priority number 1 so take your time and your petunia's will be here when you feel better

[@malilee3265]

was literally just thinking about you today, thinking I hadn’t seen you on my goodreads feed in a while and was wondering if you were okay - don’t feel pressured to post if you’re not feeling 100%! we’ll still be here

[@ashita8322]

Seeing her video here after so long, just made my day. ❤️❤️❤️

[@aliciacook1276]

So brave to say you are not feeling well right now. Times have been so tough for everyone, but seeing someone that you admire struggle too is a reminder that you’re not alone. Thank you for being so open Noelle, and hope you feel better soon. 💗

[@atmreads]

Noelle posting a reading vlog is always the highlight of my day

[@kaliontherocks]

I think it's really generous to share your time in vlogs when you really don't feel like it. Take it easy and do whatever you feel it's best for you; we will wait around anyway 🙃❤️

[@rebeccawalter4901]

Continually in awe your vulnerability and authenticity. I hope you never forget the joy and comfort your videos bring to so many people. While I can’t imagine the pressure that also comes with, please know we all care about you, and always want you to put you first 💖✨

[@andreafaulkner5306]

My fall semester was the hardest on me. I’ve never felt so “down” (I really don’t know how else to put it). I did not feel like myself and just felt so overwhelmed and just...sad. Even after the semester, it took a week for me to feel more like myself again. I don’t know if that’s what you’re experiencing, but sending you so many good vibes and love. Take care of yourself 💛

[@poppy4280]

I can see my own recent feelings reflected in your face, I've been feeling overwhelmed and apathetic. It's hard to be a person sometimes, but I love you and I know we can both get through this ♥️

[@kelseycarlile9704]

I regularly use my fb to let people know when I'm struggling and it helps others to know they aren't alone. I was in a horrible car accident in feb and can't walk or drive still. Your videos make me smile and always encourage me to read because my mental health keeps me from doing so at times. Remember to keep your eyes to the sky never glued to your shoes ❤

[@annac9534]

I would also like to add how special your mom is. She sounds extremely supportive and kind.

[@bellamallery9519]

Lol Parker sniffing the camera made me laugh he’s adorable

[@alexmueller9952]

Reading a self help book in the mornings has REALLY helped me recently. I do 10 minutes of self care (which is reading a self help book) & I write a list of things I have worries about or people that I want to pray on while I read & then I pray after! It’s such a nice way to start the day

[@alexmueller9952]

I’m truly hoping you are able to get out of this slump! I hope you don’t mind my advice/suggestion/...ideas?😂 I hope you find something that works best for you!

[@shelbellernbsn5078]

Greetings Noelle! I watched this video last night. Woke up thinking of you. I hope you’re moving forward gently without too much self induced pressure. I’m a mom of daughters that are your age. As a mom (like your mom) we try to make things a bit more insightful. Like your get thru this dark time. I love the puzzle & journal idea too. Your mom gave good advice about the journaling. Give it time. Keep us posted! I’ve follow you a short time (met you thru Gabby ♥️) and I’m so glad I did! You’ve uplifted me!!! For that I thank you. Now *We’re* all here for you. Take your time coming back. We’ll all be waiting with love, smiles & happy tears for YOU! Love you from middle of nowhere TX, Michelle ☀️💕🌴🌻🐎🐄🦙🐖🐐✨

[@megansroom11]

i love so much how emotionally vulnerable these reading vlogs can be. i really appreciate it and it helps sooooothe me when I'm going through rough patches as well.

[@literallyricky]

So glad that you are taking such good care of yourself and that you have a boss and mom that support you through that. I am sending you all the love! You are amazing and such a source of joy for me and so many others! Thank you for sharing everything from your favorite books to your hair regiment to the times you're not feeling great with us. It's great to know I am not alone in having days like this and I hope you know you are not alone either! I hope you can draw encouragement and joy from all the people on here that love and adore you like we draw it from you and your awesome videos! Keep going, one foot in front of the other, and it will get better! Love you Noelle!

[@kori_bb]

Just graduated nursing school, finals month is intense!!!!! Mental health can be so draining, sending positive vibes your way! It’s hard to stop working and focus on you when you feel guilty not doing other tasks.

[@kori_bb]

One instructor I had always said how important it is to find what “fills your bucket” and for me it’s being in nature or outside. Hope you find what fills yours ❤️

[@melissagarcia2542]

congratulations!

[@whitneyhendrix8075]

It’s really helpful to show how you’re taking steps to take care of yourself like spending time in nature, time with loved ones, etc. there is a type of journaling that has been proved to improve mood where you list I am grateful for, I will focus on, and I look forward to. I do those at the end of my regular journaling which is usually my dream from the night before. It’s nice to look back on and to make you think about the good parts of the day

[@sararose5069]

Sorry you’re in it right now. I’m glad you’re seeking help and it’s rad you’re sharing that on your channel. You’re not alone. Much love to you! 💛

[@r.campos8120]

Hi Noelle, I’ve also been going through a difficult period and listening to you has made me feel that little bit better. Sending you my love

[@coolio44]

Thank you so much for the reminder that we don't need to make every single second of every single day productive. Sometimes, we just need to take the time to relax or be lazy. It's equally important. I needed that reminder so thank you 🙂 hope you're doing well! You got this!

[@MarianaRamirez-uj1yy]

My last semester of college, I went through a breakup during finals week. My mental health was so down I started having psychosomatic symptoms like numbness, pain in my arms/legs, and chest pain. It took everything in me to finish papers, study for multiple exams, and give presentations when all I wanted to do was lay down and cry. We have incredible strength within us! Sending you lots of positive energy and prayers 💓 You are an amazing human, and knowingly or unknowingly you have helped so many of us get through bad days!! 😘

[@joefarries2722]

Things I never knew I needed: Noelle’s hair care routine, that was so wholesome!

[@oliviamay614]

Checking stuff off is *major* for me. I’m always diggity-down to finish a big project and get them off my plate. I feel you.

[@sierrapeek7036]

You are in my heart, Noelle. Thank you for being so open. I went to the doc for a mental breakdown this week and was prescribed new anxiety meds, and, while I absolutely hate that you are going through a hard time, I know I am not alone in the struggles of life. I need to take a page out of your book and be more proactive about it, I applaud you for making your mental wellbeing your priority. It is so easy to let that be the first thing we neglect. Hope you feel much much better soon and good luck with your final exams, dear!

[@christinebateman62]

So glad you took a day off and did some self care. 💝. Your mother sounds like a gem. Awesome that you can spend time with her.

[@Sarahicastle]

I felt what you were going through the entire of month of finals.The stress led to the point that my physical body malfunction. I was in the hospital for a week. So, I thank you for being real with not being ok and it is ok to put yourself first! I am like you where I get the day off and I do homework or take care of others instead of taking a day off so thank you for showing that you took sometime for yourself! Also, I was the same with journaling and now I tried it again and I keep it more real rather than a catalog or an agenda. And I love it! I hope it works with you 💛💛 let us know how it goes! You got this 💛💛💛

[@RainbowSunny1]

You inspire me so much! Even though you are not feeling so well you still go outside, do things you love, meet with people you love and move your body! Because I don't feel well myself because of my finals I really look up to you and how much you still get done. I feel like I'm just existing day after day and not really moving forward. I love you so much Noelle!! 💜 Sending you much love and hugs! 🙏

[@mayaautorino]

noelle, you are such a light in my life!! praying you feel better 💘💘 there’s always light at the end of the tunnel

[@storagebinman8327]

Take care of yourself! never be afraid to put youtube on the back burner! I never understood why some people get so worked up when a youtuber takes a break. (just rewatch their old videos )

[@amy6610]

I have a journal that I use ONLY when I am feeling incredibly anxious/on the verge of a panic attack and all I do is write about what I think is stressing me out and how I feel about it. I find it really helps, especially since I only use it for those specific circumstances. I hope journaling helps for you too!!

[@esuohyma]

I had never been able to stick with journaling and then a couple years ago I started being really raw and vulnerable in my journal. Now I write super often and it is how I process hard stuff... a lot of the time I don't even fully realize how I'm feeling until I have to put it into words and write it down. I hope it does the same for you. Take care of yourself Noelle and know that you've got a whole community of subscribers who care about you and are rooting for you. Sending you prayers and love and light and good energy.

[@BellesLibrary]

Mental health is so important and can be so hard to navigate. It's extremely brave of you to be so honest and up front with your struggles. Hope things lighten up soon

[@tyagaraja]

your mom seems so awesome!

[@jessicapaulino5342]

Thank you for the vlog! I wish you feel better soon because your energy is sooo good! Wish I could help somehow and please, don't feel pressure about posting or reading more books or whatsoever. The community just likes hearing from you even when you are sharing your not so good moments or even if you don't read a page of a book for a month. Hope you see the bright side of yourself and life in general. You are such an inspiration!

[@michelepastele5347]

There is such a feeling of HEAVY loneliness in your recent videos. I am so glad you've got your mom nearby to support you. Sending you a hug. Thank you for all the great videos you share with us! x

[@mbl722]

First, this is the first time I noticed that you have such pretty blue eyes! So pretty! Second, journaling has been a life saver for me. It often starts with something like why am I blue and then bam! And I am surprised by what the subconscious goes on and on about.

[@jlob8]

I’ve never actually commented before, but I do want to say that I really enjoy your channel and love your personality. But what prompted me to comment was that I am SO glad you took some time for yourself. You are an incredibly busy human and I can’t believe you’re operating on and accomplishing so much in the same 24 hours I experience everyday. Good for you!!! Good luck on finals and I’m excited you’ll get a break from school.

[@lindsaybasher9864]

Hi Noelle, I know we don’t know each other but I appreciate your openness and honesty on how you’re feeling. I just wanted to reach out and say that I was about your age when anxiety and depression started to consume me. I spoke to my MD and was prescribed a low dose of medication that would help treat both anxiety and depression. All I can say is that when I started taking the medication it felt like a veil had been lifted from my eyes. I could suddenly see things clearly and felt much more balanced. It helped me so very much. I just wanted to say there is no shame with getting help and taking care of yourself. It’s incredibly common. I love your channel

[@elretodebea4867]

Is also productive to just sit and relax! Unwinding is a must!!

[@patriciamedina8370]

Hope your trip to Big Sur made you feel better.... You are so brave for sharing! Sometimes I feel the same way.... for no particular reason, I feel out of it and down.... Thank you for posting! Really hope you feel uplifted soon!

[@sarahndangi2101]

I know how it's like to struggle with mental health, it's hard and brave you still vlog and write. I hope you feel better soon and the beautiful journal helps. ❤️

[@bestnarryever]

Also, sometimes it’s VERY important to give yourself a break, I know it’s complicated bc it feels like we’re avoiding our responsibilities, but it’s just society pressuring our minds... glad to hear you too a break and hope you feel better soon ✨🥺💛

[@fenreads8502]

Hope you're doing okay!! I just want you to know that I'm really proud of you and everything you've accomplished and the fact that you're able to say "hey, I'm not okay right now" because thats never easy to admit. Wishing you the best on your finals!

[@stephaniemelendez6561]

I hope today brings you a lot of joy Noelle! Whatever you’re going through remember that you’re beautiful, super intelligent, & amazingggg! Sending you a hug and lots of love!

[@WarningDontReadThis]

it’s so important to show people that we go through the motions and there’s nothing wrong with that, thanks for being real

[@emmakazal6123]

Thanks so much for sharing your down days! I actually found this really comforting - solidarity!! It was nice to see the arc of your weekend and I think the ratio of talking to footage was great.

[@stephaniesarhan-lane9403]

Hope you’re well. Sending good vibes, virtual coffee and love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@sarahw3315]

I've been kind of feeling like Noelle lately. In a writing class that I was excited about when I signed up, but now my mental health is not the greatest and it's such a struggle to get my work done, which then overwhelms me. BUT getting through it. Yesterday after taking TWO naps I finally felt like I could handle it. hang in there to anyone struggling with this kind of thing! we CAN do it!

[@VanessaSilvaLosoya]

Feel better Noelle! We all love and are rooting for you!

[@stace_d]

Appreciate the realness here. I know how you feel, and I'm glad the world has moved in a direction where we can feel more comfortable admitting that we're not okay

[@valentineh.1341]

So sorry to hear you're not at your best, hope it gets better !! So much love for you xxx

[@TheRunawaydreams]

oh, hon, i send you the biggest most encouraging hug ever! i get like war flashbacks watching you struggle to come up with stuff. writting my thesis i actually started pulling my hair (it's called tricotilomania), and i really feel you. Sending all the good vibes, you're awesome, and you got this. Thank you for being so real, that's why i watch your videos, that and your awesome taste in books. Love from Chile.

[@dayrayme]

All positive vibes and mojo Noelle. Take the time you need to get yourself in a good space. You got this!

[@AAC4808]

Thank you so much for posting this. I haven’t been feeling great mentally lately, and it’s so refreshing to see others being honest about how they’re feeling.

[@LBL28279]

Thank you for taking time for yourself and doing self-care; finals month always has me feeling drained and tired as well, but knowing that you're taking care of yourself is such a good thing I hope you're feeling better 🍓

[@aprilmakepeace8388]

So good to hear from you. Sorry you’ve been in a rough place for a bit. I appreciate you sharing how you’re feeling and the practical things you’re doing to take care of yourself. Sending you big hugs.

[@hotgibson123]

Thank you for your honesty. Sending you healing vibes. Sending you all the positive vibes and love as well. It’s always a good idea to take time for yourself when things are wonky. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@discoshark]

I hope you're ok Noelle, you're always putting a smile on our faces so I hope we can put a smile on yours. You look gorgeous btw!

[@psychedandlit]

My peloton has been such a help for my mental health these last 5 months. Thanks for keeping it real

[@bettyreads222]

Appreciate your honesty and hope you continue to prioritize your care and what brings you joy.

[@emiliweintraub3740]

I just started watching you like a week ago and this video (really all your videos) are so comforting to watch. I really like how you open up about your mental health. It sorta feels like we are going through it together lol, which is really comforting. I hope you start to feel better. I love your content already :)

[@ryanbrueckner6581]

I’m proud of you for admitting you need a break, especially when you could work. It’s a hard thing to do and I’m incredibly impressed by you. I hope you feel better soon!

[@bruhyoufr]

Glad to see you making time for yourself and getting a journal to write in. Those two things have been very important to me in my struggles. I hope you can pull through whatever’s going on & feel better in the time to come ❤️

[@monicahinojosa9628]

You hair is so gorgeous! I was happy to see what kind of products you use, I bleach my hair blonde and sometimes it’s just fun to see what others use. I love your vlogs there so genuine and real.

[@kyliemaguire6959]

I've been waiting for another one of your videos just so I can say that you have become one of my comfort creators! I often watch your videos before I go to bed because they just help me relax and your humor puts me into a less-anxious mood! Thank you for being so open about your mental state, your authenticity is something that I've always admired. I hope you feel better soon, love! xx

[@vivianski]

I’m so sorry you’re not feeling great. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s all anyone can ask for. You’re such an admirable person, and I hope you understand how many people you inspire to keep going. Keep your head up. 💗

[@claralbhr]

Thank you for being real. Hope you are feeling better. 🥰 big hugs to one of my favorite booktubers.

[@joefarries2722]

Noelle, thanks for being so candid in this video, you helped me with how to cope with mental health struggles and made my day brighter💛

[@booksbyandby5985]

Talking care of yourself is so important. You've got a lot of support here, best of luck finishing up your finals month!

[@metanoiabooks3729]

Nice to see your face Noelle! You've popped in my mind a few times this past week. I hope you feel better soon. Always look after yourself. Hugs. xx

[@sunnydays5204]

Ugh, Noelle I really love your personality and your energy and it kills me to know you’re not feeling well! I hope SO much tha you can take the much needed time to do some self care and really focus on yourself and relax. You’re amazing and I hope you feel better soon!!! Sending all the possible good vibes your way! ✨✨💗

[@francescakyanda9182]

I'm like two weeks from graduating high school and I'm so GLAD that you're showing us that you're taking time to be in nature and that you're struggling with being productive because I'll spend more time reading or being outside than doing homework

[@AsmaSherb]

I’m suffering to write my paper as well. I related when you mention how searching is sometimes taking you down and make you feel a little bit insecure about your own writing. I love writing but with my short-term kinda memory of mine, i forgot my researches😅 Thank you for this vlog, aside of pushing yourself to do it while you’re feeling not so well, it uplifted my energy and passion toward my paper again. Thanks Noelle, have a great day♥️

[@melissabereading]

I took off today too from everything because I wasn’t doing good either. If I take off from work I’ll work remotely but today I didn’t & I feel better! I hope you feel better too ✨

[@isabellaprice9025]

I hope you start feeling better!! Your mom sounds like an angel💗

[@rachelwoodsmiddleton268]

Oh my goodness! I just finished reading The Hating Game and I am in love with this book! I have wanted to pick up a copy after I heard your positively glowing review and I finally did a few days ago. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It was just the pick me up kind of read I needed. I have never really experienced the feeling you have described about wanting to start a book again right after finishing it... I do now. Thank you for inspiring me ( in more ways than making me want to pick up this book) and if I ever happen to meet you one day I would love for you to sign my copy.

[@dennyvee22]

Mental health is definitely important and glad your boss understood that. Prayer and positive vibes heading your way. Also hopefully your finals went the way you wanted. Take care of yourself first 🙏🏼

[@Pernille842]

I like your honesty. But honestly No one can like seeing a person in pain. I hope you feel better soon. Everything will be okay. ❤️

[@ffiontill5924]

Does anyone else feel guilty? I get so happy when Noelle posts and seeing that she isn’t experiencing that happiness? I hope Noelle is having a better time today x

[@nubiaavina2435]

Thank you for sharing with us Noelle, sorry to hear that you are not feeling your best💕 it’s nice to see that your loved ones are available for you in this time!

[@kelceyblue1402]

Love hearing about the steps you take to take care of yourself mentally and physically! Also-your mother sounds like a wonderful woman!

[@alessiabaps]

Noelle ive been thinking of you for weeks since you havent posted and I really hope you're doing better!! Thank you for being so open about university burnout/ stress!!! I really look up to you for inspiration as an english major in undergrad, and you've helped keep me on track during the times I've nearly given up on a paper or thought i was a bad writer. I hope you know you ARE a good writer even when things get hard :( You are a shining star and I hope you feel better soon 💗⭐️

[@baileyrenalds9782]

a noelle video on my birthday?? chefs kiss! noelle, you are so loved and i (and im sure so many of your viewers) care so much about your mental health. i hope you're doing well and are able to be gentle with yourself, as you deserve it. anything you are feeling is valid, and i am so proud of you.
