"Feeling ok is so underrated" ugh so true. There are so many times I wish I could just feel okay and normal. Thanks for this I can definitely relate and it is very brave and thoughtful of you to share for others.

Thank you for sharing! We just studied bipolar spectrum disorders in school for social work, and had a diagnostic challenge in class with a (made up) case, and the answer was cyclothymic disorder. I have never worked with or met anyone with it, and was looking for examples online. Thank you for bravely sharing! It helps people to understand!

This really hit me. I've been struggling with mental health issues since I was 11 years old (I am now 21). I suffer from anxiety, depression and am currently being looked at for the possibility of bi-polar. I haven't tried medication yet but I have been trying to make lifestyle changes and I understand the how hard it can be to keep that motivation when nothing seems to change.Thank you for being brave enough to share your struggles with us I know that couldn't have been easy. Also thank you making me feel less alone in my struggles. A lot of your story sounded so similar to mine and it reminded me that I'm not the only person who has to battle mental illness everyday. I think a lot of people forget that they aren't alone or "crazy" and that's what makes people like you who are brave enough to step up and share so important!

I, like you, avoided this video for awhile because of the topic and being triggered. (It's not always a convenient time to have a cry. LOL) But thank you so much for sharing your story, Rhian. I admire you in so many ways and that includes the way you celebrate being beautifully imperfect. I truly do hope that you know that ALL of your videos have had a positive impact on my life. Like you said, it's the little things that can mean the most when you're struggling mentally and on more than one occasion your videos have given me that little push to do something productive or ~treat myself~ on a day I was just feeling like shit. Sometimes, just putting on makeup that day is a huge accomplishment for me and you have lit that fire more than once. And I know that I'm not the only one. So, once again, thank you for sharing your story. It is not an easy thing to do to take others with you to the dark places inside yourself but I just hope you know that it means the world to us. You're such an angel and I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well. ♡

I was just diagnosed with cyclothymia and I had wondered for a few years if I fell into the bi polar spectrum since the majority of relatives on my dad side seem to either be diagnosed bi polar or have all the symptoms. Thank you for this video, it helps everyone who is just learning about themselves. I'm 32 and finally diagnosed, I have felt this way since I was 11 or 12. Videos like this didnt exist when i was younger so I am happy that you are talking about it to help others out. Thank you!!! 💗💗💗💗

You are so strong and brave for making this video. My mother had severe bipolar, which came severe highs and lows, it was like having 3 different mums and not knowing which one I would see each week/month/day. I truly believe like you that is a chemical imbalance in the brain and so important to manage, with medicine if necessary. My Mum was sadly convinced to stop taking hers by a church who believed in 'religious healing' and so she did, and her mood swings became so extreme after that, the sadly snaped, had enough and took her own life. It's so important people like yourself are expressing the importance of medicine and seeking help for mental illness. We need to break through the stigma

This definitely hit home for me. I have suffered from depression my whole life, but I also just lost my father-in-law to suicide due to his struggle with mental illness. He unfortunately never sought help and instead he ended his life to silence his pain. I knew him for 12 years of my life and never knew he was struggling. My husband, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law, never knew he was suffering this internal battle. Thank you for speaking so openly about your struggle and helping people to understand that seeking help does not show weakness, it shows strength. Much love!

I've been struggling with depression and anxiety ever since I was a kid and I know how hard it can be. I've never been in such a bad shape as you described for such a long period of time, though, so I can only imagine how hard these times must have been. I absolutely agree that all the well meant suggestions of others can be VERY annoying. Especially when people fail to understand that depression and anxiety are not the same as a simple bad mood. I have also filmed a video about my story, so if anyone wants to hear it, you are all welcome to stop by. I didn't want to spam the comments with links, though. My suggestion to anyone is: get help. Don't be ashamed about your situation. Trust me, you are not the only one. And medication has definitely its place in some severe cases. Rhian, thumbs up for the courage to share this with us and thank you. Sending much love!

this was super brave of you to do -- i know that i have only recently become open about my mental health issues, after meeting a supportive spouse, as opposed to the physically and mentally abusive one i had been with since age 15 who told me that he wouldn't allow me to continue taking medication for my depression and anxiety because he did not believe that mental illness was real and that people were just 'lazy'. after leaving that relationship, which took me more than six years in total, i struggled with the strongest bout of anxiety and depression in my life, and attempted to commit suicide for the second time. when i was struggling with anxiety at the time, my visualization was to think of ways i could end it, and it soothed me. i always held that in after leaving my abusive partner, and i didn't want anyone to know how 'crazy' i was (also sorry for using the term crazy), but after i met michael (my now-husband), and he somehow got me to talk about things, he helped me to realize there is nothing wrong with me - it's just who i am & that's okay. i still very much struggle with PTSD in regard to men frightening me, doors slamming or other loud noises, my anxiety is still quite apparent, and depression is certainly always there, but i am in control - it's my life, i'm present in it, and only i can make it better. it kills me to know that there are people suffering with feeling as sad/low/scared/alone as i once did. i am always, always around for anyone who reads this and may want to talk (elizabethashleykeys@gmail.com or bashaliora on instagram). you don't need to go it alone.

I really feel this. I've watched a bunch of your videos but I think this is my favourite. It's really nice to relate to someone. Because a lot of the time I feel like I don't. I've struggled over the last few years, (the last year or two has been a lot of nothingness), especially with sleep/energy/anxiety - it always feels like one thing or another. It's really important for people to know that things are temporary, that things will change, because they do, all the time. Lots of love to you!

I cannot even explain how much this speaks to me. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for the past 6 years and never looked for help. I just recently stared watching your channel but this video couldn't have come at a better time. I just told my dad yesterday about the most minimal part of my struggle and he wanted to help. My family has a history of drug and alcohol abuse, which is one of many reasons why I was scared to look for any type of help. But even knowing that one person wants to help, changes a lot. Hearing your story and what you've been through helps me want to help myself. You are so strong. thank you so much.

I'm glad you brought up how ppl say "why don't you just go for a run"....I know they just don't understand but it bothers me a lot and also how the word "panic attack" is thrown around so carelessly. Thank you for being so real and so vulnerable. People on you tube always want to appear that their life is so perfect but I respect someone way more for showing their flaws. P.s. One of your older videos you said having a dog really helps so I got one about a year ago and it's so true 😊

I was exactly like that with food, I still have moments when I struggle with it now. Especially if I'm eating in public or around people other than close family / boyf. That began when I was only 4 / 5. Anxiety around food but not necessarily an eating disorder. I never wanted to be Skinny but when I couldn't eat without feeling anxious. The textures. I have had severe depression; hospitalised and medicated. It didn't help me much other than as you say gave some respite, but I too felt like I wasn't really functioning as best I could. Autopilot for Sure! I went to many therapists during my crisis point and I just didn't connect with them. I didn't feel they understood the way I needed them to. Then I found an amazing therapist, to this day I think of her and how she, with her gentleness and kindness, helped me find hope. I will forever be grateful to her. When I told people who were close about my mental illness they acted different, like I was an alien... I guess the lack of understanding really gets in the way. Your video and message is so important. There is still a lot of stigma around mental health issues, in relationships, work places, etc. Thank you for opening up about your struggles. This is the kind of strength and vulnerability that brings people together. I'd love to see more lifestyle / topic videos on your channel.

I really support your message and bravery in this video. Thank you. Mental illness, and embarrassment or shame for seeking help, has affected too many people to keep it under the rug. It's 2015 and time for it to be more acceptable to talk about it, and understand the work it takes to better your own mental health. Talking really helps to heal, and I think your honesty and willingness to share your story will help many people to do the same or just know they are not alone if experiencing similar struggles.

I got diagnosed with anxiety, social anxiety and depression just last year, and I am so certain that I've struggled with it since my childhood. It was so good to finally put words to feelings, and still hard trying to adapt to actually living with it. Working a regular job is hard because I struggle with sleep, and I struggle with actually getting through the day some times. I do still do it though, but planning to transition into working for myself within the next year. I try to go work out a few times a week, eat less crap and now I'm going to start creating more just to channel my "issues" into something more productive and "happy" if you will. Thank you for sharing, Rhian, it takes guts and so many people still don't grasp how mental health can affect someone so much.

I've been there maybe not so long ago but you are right that one little piece of hope is what kept me going. I feel so thankful that people are more open about mental illness and the taboo things like sexual assault because it's nice not to feel alone.

I saw this video the first time I found your channel, but haven't watched it till tonight because it was hitting so close to home. I've been struggling the last couple months with admitting I needed help. I've previously been misdiagnoised with depression when I had a 'physical' illness and was hesitant to seek help, but I'm so glad I did. I am currently being treated for Bipolar Type 2, but it could be cyclothemia because I can cycle pretty rapidly. I'm on day 5 of ramping up my medication (Lamictal, I don't do well on SSRI). I posted a blog on my facebook and have been so supported by my friends and family. Your video is great. I'm looking forward to starting my channel and continuing to share my journey.

this is such an amazing video. thank you so much for sharing. I am in my late 30's, suffered from depression for such a long time. self-medicated with alcohol and drugs for the latter of my teens and 20's...I was so out of control, and I think in order to get control of something in my life I began binging and purging in my early 20's, become beyond obsessed with being skinny by any means necessary, which only worsened my depression. my parents turned a blind eye, friends tried to be supportive, but lost patience in me...I get very sad looking back on it. I couldn't keep a relationship of any kind for a long period, had a lot of people tell me it was all in my mind...and the same "exercise more", "write in a journal" "do yoga"...the list goes on. I tried. I met my husband when I was 30, I moved to Hawaii which I thought would be the medication I needed daily, sun and love...instead I got even worse, drinking a lot of wine and in turn taking out years of anger, self-hatred, sadness, depression out on my now hubby. I have seen a few different therapists, but none really worked, they didn't specialize in mental health issues, my doctor told me to take more "spa" days and get pedicures. I too have to laugh when I look back because if I don't I will too cry non-stop. I am now on a medium dosage of Prozac, I often feel guilty too because many of my friends and family think medication/anti-depressants are an "easy way out", but really they are the dummies because they self-medicate with junk food, drugs and alcohol...I have good and bad days, but I to want others to know that it is worth it to weather thru shitty days because good days are great. I now have 2 small boys, did stay on my medication (Lexapro) at the time I was pregnant. I was still a mess even on the medication with hormonal shifts, and my midwives were really supportive of me staying on the Lexapro, both my boys are fine and healthy. I couldn't imagine if I was off them at that time. I am just taking it day by day now. I often feel like a failure because so much of my life thus far was wasted in a depressed or drunken haze. I stopped working right before I got pregnant because of my mental health issues, then had babies and haven't worked at a job for 6 years. I want to help provide for my family, but am often scared of my mental health issues and working. I have shifted medications a fair amount also, and although I don't think the dosage of Prozac I take is quite enough...I too hate that feeling of total numbness I have felt from higher doses. Sorry to ramble. I don't have a great support system to talk about my issues. It just feels comforting to know someone else has been thru my struggles. I don't feel so alone.

Great video Rhian and thanks for spreading awareness. I have depression and I'm also on medication. The more we talk about it, the better. There's hope, there's treatment, the journey might not be straight-forward, but there are ways to feel better. The more people know that, the better. It's not a character flaw or lack of motivation. It's a chemical imbalance, an illness and has to be treated as such. We have to fight the stigma. Thanks again for being very candid about it.

Great advice too on having something to look forward to in the future, even if it is something small. The hardest but absolutely most important thing is to ask for help and to just get the ball rolling and start the process. In the beginning of my recovery process I truly never felt like I would get better or feel any different and I was actually scared to feel something different because feeling so sad was all I knew and I was so attached to that. But I'm so so so glad I took that first step and went through all those uncomfortable feelings and discussions to be where I am today. You should be really proud for making these videos.

THANK YOU. Seriously. I've struggled since I can remember but the last three years have been garbage. I have OCD, anxiety, panic attacks, but most intrusive is my depersonalization and derealization. Every minute of everyday my mind is blank, no thoughts ever. I have no emotion, I can't imagine things or talk to myself, I'm the definition of auto pilot. I've been losing hope like crazy because it's been such a long time coming but this gave me a little umph.

Thank you so so much for this Rhian. It's hard when you feel like you'll forever be wanting to give up but hearing you talk about your story and how even though you don't feel amazing you CAN feel and you can function was amazing. It's inspired me to learn to do the little things first and I've really benefited from that instead of trying to do big things when I feel terrible I'm learning to do little things and save the big things for the times when I feel a little better. But I also understand now that it's so important to seek help from others as well as yourself and I'm going to talk to a doctor soon about whatever this is i'm dealing with. All of that is just to say thank you so much for making this video it is so so helpful and you're such an amazing ball of sunshine ❤️

Rhian, you are such a strong and beautiful person, both inside and out. Thank you so much for making this video, you are incredibly brave for sharing your story with the world. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 16 and it has been a bumpy road for myself and the people around me. The last year has been so incredibly hard for me, particularly the past 4 months but I have had my medication changed and day by day I am feeling better. This video has helped me more than I can truly tell you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. You really do inspire me and as of tomorrow I am going to work so hard on creating a healthier lifestyle for myself - mentally, emotionally and physically. I know I need to get myself into a routine and you've reinforced that for me so I will be trying really hard to do so. I don't know you (I wish I did) but I am proud of you and the progress you've made, you're amazing and I just know that this video is going to help so many other people. Love & hugs

Hey, your perspective is really helpful. I think everyone's coping mechanisms can seem weird to others. I've found that grounding myself is the best way to deal with the different states I can find myself in. I used to use prescription medication as well as alcohol and other drugs to try to manage my state. Over the course of several years I slowly cut out more and more of what I call stimulation. I quickly realised that alcohol was really negative for me but it took years for me to actually realise like hey drinking is actually doing something totally different to me than it does to everyone else. Then it took another year or so for me to actually be assertive enough to tell everyone around me that I couldn't drink. It's really hard to make these choices because there is an element in your mind that says why shouldn't I be able to enjoy these things the same as everyone else and this kind of doubt that says you could just be over analysing things. During all of this I was also going on and off medication for much the same reasons, thinking I should be able to do without them but seeing I was obviously producing better results on medication. I wasn't happy on medication though. I eventually decided to just cut out everything, but I was still drinking coffee. I didn't even consider the effect caffeine may have on me because I had been drinking it since I was a teenager and it was just a totally normal part of me. I was obviously addicted but hey, everyone is these days. In the absence of all other chemicals however I started to notice that caffeine was making me anxious. I was counting on caffeine to make me productive enough to get everything done, because I am also very ambitious. I stopped drinking caffeine a little over 3 months ago now. I'm at a state where I avoid even sugar and for a lot of people that may seem crazy but from this place where I am completely grounded I can carefully observe myself and I can actually see the patterns and the way that my mind is actually working. I've pretty much become a monk haha! But I'm starting to feel like I'm understanding myself enough that I could handle a little drink here and there IF I wanted to, but funnily enough, the desire isn't there anymore. It actually feels the best to be at what I call, zero. Everything that happens to me from this state of mind feels exactly as it should without any outside influence. Hopefully this is of some value to someone to read. I plan to share more details on my channel in future. Hope to hear from you!

I get your points, I do so much. However sometimes some things can not be helped by talking about them. Cause others just don't understand and / or can't solve our problems for us (no matter how useful their advice is, it's up to you). I don't have a solution to that but I think it's important not to dismiss people for not being able to ask for help or not being able to take the help and actually make it better. Accepting help and taking that to help yourself is a big step. Especially when you think you're not worth it anyway. Powering through is the only thing that has ever worked for me. Anyway, wishing you a good day. Thanks for being so honest.

Brain zaps! I never heard anyone else talk about experiencing this, and that is such a great descriptor. I have these so, so often. I love how you address the lifestyle suggestions people make and how that's not necessarily enough for someone with a chemical imbalance. I agree with you in that you have to actively try, find a routine that works, but I love people talking openly about medication because that removes a bit of the social stigma around taking medication. Many wishes for continued healing, love, and light.

I'm so glad to hear that your family was and is supportive. It makes such a huge difference. Mine don't entirely understand, but after 20 years of dealing with mental health issues, they've learned how I am and how to help. It was always explained to me that taking anti-depressants for me is no different than a diabetic taking insulin. The body has created an imbalance, and I'm trying to fix it and lead a normal life. I've been having some highly stressful out of my control situations lately, and I'm trying to get back on track with my self care. My heart goes out to you, and I'm so thankful you shared your story. Incidentally, the suicidal thoughts you mention, you may have learned this since, but it's the difference between passive suicidal ideation (I wish I were dead) and active suicidal ideation (I have a plan. and I'm going to act on it). For me, having the terminology helps because it adds that extra level of distance from the actual feeling. Thank you, again, for sharing so much of yourself. TGIF! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for this. It is invaluable and I truly appreciate you sharing this with us. It actually makes me feel worse when people tell me to 'Chin up' (yes I do get this and other variations) and I get really frustrated when people try to suggest what I should do as they imply that I'm not doing enough. Also, as you said, trying to stay healthy while going through a depressive episode is hard because at least for me, I become less interested in food, I starve myself as punishment and when I do eat it is usually really unhealthy foods. Ironically, this is the period where healthy food is critical to being able to get through these periods.

I've come along way from the mental state that I was in before. However I still have good days and bad ones, and my anxiety can flare up from time to time.

This video was really helpful! I totally relate to the whole not meshing with a counsellor. My first therapist was from a service which was offered by my university and in my first session she said that I was a perfectionist, had childhood issues and my emotional arousal was too high because I cried in the first session. She also made me feel really self-conscious (even more so) by glancing at my clothes whilst I was talking etc. However mt CBT therapist was such a lovely man and I felt comfortable talking about anything with him. I later found out he was a trainee but he was able to find out things about me which I wasn't even aware of (OCD tendencies etc.). The point of my rambling is just because something hasn't worked the first time doesn't mean it's not for you as I was really pessimistic of talking therapies after taking psychology in college. However, CBT has improved my anxiety so much and has given me back control by teaching me mechanisms to cope with it. All the best to anyone suffering with such issues and their loved ones as I know it can take alot out of those too x

That animation was cute, I hope that his psychosis is at least manageable since it can get really scary and very stressful to deal with.

It takes a hard life to make a wise person. This has helped me a lot, although I have no mental health issues, I have struggled very hard with losing my father at only the age 15. I'm now 16, it's been 9 months. I still struggle with bad habit making from stress, lack of sleep from thinking to much and being super unproductive. Although I have dealt with it the only way I could ,I am still the most unstable I've ever been in my whole life. It's just really nice to hear a good voice, and hear from someone who has also struggled a lot. I Love your videos, and thank you so much for this video.

+Casey Raos Thank you for your sweet words! I know it has probably been such a rough, emotional time for you lately in those 9 months but it must also still be so fresh and raw for you. I really can't even imagine what you're going through, especially so young but you seem wise beyond your years and seem to understand that it can take time and effort that can be really tough. Knowing those things and keeping it in your mind what you need to do to progress will help so much! Don't be afraid to ask for help!

I found your channel because I was needing some help with make up and self care inspiration. I forget to feel pretty and confident coz I am depressed. I thought everyone who looks as good as you and knows how to look after themselves would never struggle with their mental health but I guess I was wrong. It is even more meaningful now, to keep trying to look after myself and build that routine and lifestyle. Really insightful, thank you.
