"I'll just stay in the room that's on fire." - For my anxiety I would add "It's only going to be X weeks longer, until there's a break in my schedule, that'll fix it. I can handle the fire for that long."

[@mackenziedavidson4974]

Ok can I just say - I’ve been subscribed to you for years, and I rarely comment because that’s just not a thing I normally do, but based on what you’ve shared, we have very similar struggles with mental health (even coming down to like... individual maladaptive mental schemas). I’m 22, and frequently feel like my life is falling apart (I also have suspected ADHD on top of depression, anxiety, and periodic food stuff™️), so watching you constantly survive (even if you feel like that’s all you’re doing in that moment) is honestly really comforting. I don’t know what I’m doing with my life or where I’ll end up, but your videos bring me a real sense of comfort and peace and I just wanted to thank you for that ❤️❤️

[@LeighEllexson]

I just got a ruggable rug too! Toadie is a dirt ball it’s been great. Emailing feels like pulling teeth out of my head as far as I know I’m “normal.” Thinking about a life rhythm, so interesting to hear you talk about so relatable!!!!

[@LeighEllexson]

I’m responding to you out loud while I watch this hahahahaha

[@LeighEllexson]

Good luck with your boat

Is this a live chat?

[@tangledkelpp]

hi cheyenne 💖 I just wanted to say that I really love that you talk openly with your followers about the things you go through. it's really brave to come out with your diagnosis! I'm an autistic artist with ADHD and am very knowledgable about neurodiversity and relate a lot to what you're feeling. it's not embarrassing to be neurodivergent, please always remember that. it's absolutely okay and normal to struggle with these things, society tends to breed internalized ableism in people like us and it's not your fault. idk if you'll see my comment, but I just wanted to share that in hopes of you possibly finding comfort in people who are similar to you.

[@zaravive5809]

The “acceptance” to stay in the burning room makes a lot of sense with ADHD. As you probably know by now, executive functions in people with ADHD work differently, and decision making is a big part of that. So not only do you have to make important decisions, but you also have to kinda first learn HOW to make decisions/be decisive in the first place.

[@merlyn2770]

Cheyenne I've had the worst day today and I'm so delighted to watch this video! You bring sunshine to us all with every video ☀️

[@amandalowitz8733]

something that helped me a lot is repeating the mantra that "I deserve to feel comfortable about the world around me" and "all i can do is look at what's in front of me" as in, all you can do in this life is deal with whatever is placed in front of you in the present and it's really helped over the past couple years of navigating my life, internal self, self destruction, medication, and mental health. it's been such a pleasure to watch you these last couple of years, you're so inspiring and everyone is so proud of u

[@amandalowitz8733]

also the way ADHD is continually misdiagnosed in girls and women is EXTREMELY REAL!!!! it manifests so differently in everyone so I hope you're no longer feeling embarrassment or shame, and even if u are all u can do is experience it and move forward

[@humblemodesto4391]

I truly appreciate your acknowledgment and support for AAPI. It's really saddening to see the rise of hate towards Asian Americans. Stay awesome!

[@AudraAuclair]

This was alarmingly relatable. I have ADHD too and welbutrin has also been helping me a lot and definitely has helped with emails. It's crazy how much things change once you realize what's going on and how to fix it. Also totally relate to the issues with figuring out the schedule and the meltdowns, it's so hard with working for yourself and trying to figure out how to deal with growth. Knowing your limits comes with time and finding resources will come along the way. It's good you took a step back and took time for yourself. I dig your vids btw, they've been great to watch. Rooting for you!💕

[@gamutgirl]

I hit my "threshold" at age 30 and (because I'd been ignoring the things you're talking about needing to start paying attention to) it blossomed into a full-blown anxiety disorder... which had been exacerbated by undiagnosed ADHD that I had been unknowingly struggling with my entire life until I finally saw a psychiatrist who figured that out. I'm 39 now and have finally settled in a life rhythm with meds/therapy, a new career I love that's not killing me, and a home that's not terrifying me. Doing this as a single gal in Seattle too, btw. It's scary to do the unknown, but you've got this. Things are always scarier in your head than in reality; when you learn how to break down the scary things into smaller manageable chunks and line them up in a way your ADHD brain knows how to knock down, you realize how much you can mitigate any fear that was paralyzing you (and your boat analogy makes total sense!). Stay strong, stay brave and beautiful, and know that you have a community here to support you. You are an inspiration to me and I love your videos.

[@WhenWillILearn]

The adhd chat is so familiar to me. The talk about being good in school because of the parameters and deadlines and then having to muddle through in your own business is exactly how I feel. Thanks for talking about this

[@juliannanichols]

Your chat about adhd and breakdowns wow. Everything I have been going through in this month. Still don’t have a diagnosis or anything but thank you for being open. Makes me feel less embarrassed myself about getting help, etc.

[@Musikchic47]

Hey don't be embarrassed! My husband has adult ADHD (I know I probably don't have to say adult, but most people think it goes away after childhood, but it doesn't, just sometimes people learn how to cope with it). My husband is also a therapist and one of his specialties is helping young adults and adults to deal with their ADHD since he knows how they feel. Keep going! You can do it!

[@elly_angelic]

whenever chey looks straight into the camera at the end of the video and says 'i love you' my heart just goes: 🥺💖💓💖🥺

[@Noranna97]

yaaayy!! im so happy you are back, im so very proud of you!! also, your 'little town called misery' analogy helped me so much in understanding my own struggles and now im better at handling them so thank you!

[@Calibizaro]

I was diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago at age 35. I truly understand ALL of the thoughts and feelings you expressed here. Slow and steady... be patient and forgiving of yourself.

[@mhschiller714]

I'm going to be 32 this year and I was diagnosed with ADHD (and depression and anxiety!) at 14 and I feel like only over the past few years have I really learned what that meant and how it shaped every aspect of my life. I also own a small business and get overwhelmed by it all the time. I'm realizing that I'm also going to need to help via medication and therapy again. I say all that to let you know that you aren't alone. I know it's vulnerable and new, but having a diagnosis is helpful in learning why our brains react in certain ways and how we respond to things. Sending you so much love on your self care and journey with your ADHD diagnosis!

[@saturnbyrning621]

Thank you for being so open about having ADHD. I got diagnosed two years ago and it's been a struggle to get to the point where I'm like "hey, you can actually do whatever you want in your career. Your ADHD doesn't limit you." and finding other successful artists who are open about it has really helped! I'm excited to see what you do moving forward!

[@kiraleighh]

I've struggled with mental health issues pretty much my whole life and when I was finally diagnosed with autism when I was 21 it felt like things finally ✨clicked✨ for me! I've loved your content for so long and it's been such a huge source of comfort for me. It'll take some time to process everything and figure out what works for you but I'm so happy you seem to be on the up and up. 💜💜

On my goodness me too! I was diagnosed as autistic last year at the age of 20 & all the years of mental health struggles finally made sense 😊. Best wishes to you going forward

[@kiraleighh]

@@bee-2000 I'm so glad that it helped you too! All the best to you too! 😁

[@oliverjoukowsky4451]

wow so happy to be here! As someone else who has ADHD, it can be incredibly hard to do the most basic stuff or figure out structures. I'm so glad you've been able to find something that's working for you!

[@tofucat8141]

I don’t usually comment but I just wanted to say that you saying all of that stuff about your own mental health was so ridiculously freeing to me, because I have almost the exact same issues and experiences (albeit in a very different context - I’m in my last few years of school) and you talking about them allowed me, probably for the first time, to go “oh god there’s someone like me”. The jolt of happiness I got from the words “I have ADHD”, especially since you’re already someone I admire quite a lot... I don’t think I can put into words how comforting that is. Thankyou

[@isabelzerr8923]

I'm so glad you know a bit more about yourself now, like having adhd. I have very similar symptoms to what you describe and always assumed it was just my anxiety but got diagnosed with ADHD recently. It's such a blessing to know how your brain works and functions, because once you read and find things that work for you, everything becomes a million times easier. Not to say there won't be more challenges, but continually learning about yourself and understanding why you are the way you are can be so helpful. Welcome to the community ❤️

[@queennehelania836]

Your videos make me want to just like...I don't know, man, live a fun, creative existence? But like. In a chill way??? Every time I watch you I just want to live in my little apartment and draw and write and bake and forget about making tons of money and just enjoy my little glorious life. Thank you for your vlogs.

[@aly8779]

Tysm for being open about adhd. I got diagnosed combo type severe in late January. I’m 25 and I honestly didn’t see it coming. I’ve been getting help since February and I have seen the biggest change in myself and my confidence. Still working through the emotions and adjusting to meds but I’m so damn glad I made the step to help myself. Adhd was always there, I nor anyone else just saw it and misdiagnosed it my whole life. It feels good to be seen and sending so much love.

[@efeckie8779]

you are much older than me, but I've been diagnosed with adhd for over half my life and i think that what to do when you aren't given explicit direction is definitely something i struggle with as well, so you aren't alone! also i'm loving how the studio is coming along! sending love!!

[@isabella8819]

First: I love your metaphors! I love when you talk about your emotions and your mental health because you can VERBALIZE what you feel (at least a little bit) and it’s relevant for many people, for sure. I love when you teach things your therapist teaches you because many people here can’t afford a therapist, so, it really helps! Your videos ARE a therapy and you are incredible for talking about such intimate and things that though your vulnerability. You always say that to us but it’s my time to say this: ✨I AM SO PROUD OF YOU CHEY! ✨ I am so proud of the person you are and the person you’re trying to be, I BELIEVE in you! You can do WHATEVER you WANT because you are INCREDIBLE 🌸

[@trailcamdeer]

cheyenne I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing this - hearing you talk about your experience kinda kicked me into seriously considering that I might be really struggling with ADHD, and I'm currently doing what I can rn to get an appointment to help with that. I've shared this with my parents as well and they said it really helped them understand what I'm going through. We appreciate you so much

[@OnlyMusic16]

This was truly refreshing to see the 'not normal' behind the 'normal'. Thank you for sharing with us

[@BurgessTaylor]

I am 53 and wasn't diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression until my late 30's. I had been misdiagnosed with bipolor. I understand all to well what you're talking about and appreciate your honesty. You're rad as hell too!

[@myhandsaslanguage]

So good to see you again! Sorry that you’ve been struggling with your mental health, but I’m so glad you are moving towards a more sustainable life, via meds and building better habits and work-flow. You go, girl!!!!

[@sarah_kale]

I admire you for sitting with your feelings of embarrassment and letting them pass through until being ready to open up. Thank you for being open and vulnerable, this means a lot for destigmatizing mental health issues.

[@pammylazaro9814]

I super love this vlog episode. I’m also in my 26 and is currently having emotional breakdowns and not seeing any progress with my life RN. Artists like you inspire me to go and push myself with the things I love the most. I’m not an artist like you, but i love to draw ever since I was a child. I used to compete with other schools but i didn’t pursue my love for art, instead I went to business school. ( i’m so afraid to fail, thinking that if i went to an art school instead. I would be broke for the rest of my life). Now that I can make decisions for myself I decided to try again and work on my love for digital art. I’m still working as an internal auditor of a company but during my free time, i draw on my ipad and also I started a small bakery where I sell my baked goods online.

[@phoebewise3393]

Chey I haven't even made it to the end of your video yet but I had to comment in solidarity. I'm an adult woman who was disgnosed with ADHD too within the last year. It is more common in creative circles and very under diagnosed in women. Your diagnosis is such a big moment. It can feel like everything is your fault or you should just 'try harder' but now you have a name for it and you know that it's not your fault. I know how difficult it can be to do everyday things and to watch other people just do it with ease. The ADHD Twitter community is incredible and I've learnt so much there and I recommend you join too. I wish I could reach out and give you a hug. You aren't alone, welcome to the ADHD family 💜

[@katykatarsis]

Omg Cheyenne, I've waited so much for this moment.

[@Silver7195]

As a fellow neurodivergent person, I FELT this. I got into art school just as I was dealing with massive autistic burnout, and most of my art school experience has been learning to do the things I want to do at a pace that I can actually maintain. I may be a very very slow sailor, and sometimes I worry that I might not get ANYWHERE at this pace, but I'm pretty proud of the boat I've built. You've been an awesome inspiration in terms of sailing, so I'm excited you're getting to build a cool boat now!! Best of luck! (If you're reading this without having watched yet, this will make no sense lol)

[@japansurplusweirdfinds3157]

[@sarcasmpersuasion]

Love YOU a lot, Cheyenne! And that you're able to talk so openly and honestly with us!

[@tangledkelpp]

specifically what you said about feeling like everyone got the answers to life you missed out on is SO spot on for me it's eerie

[@slam-punk]

Cheyenne, I relate SO much to how you said you have 3 breakdowns a year because your vision and guidelines for your life haven’t been super clear or even known. I get so overwhelmed by so much and it just gets pushed to the back so I don’t have to think about it, and then BOOM. I turn into a human fruit gusher, except the cool insides are actually scary repressed thoughts

[@NatalieMadeThis]

Wow I can’t tell you how much I related to your adhd chat I’m 26 and got diagnosed with ADHD at the end of last year and just started medication two weeks ago Hearing you talk about “that thing” that it always felt like everyone else had figured out hit so close to home Thank you for giving me a moment of knowing someone understands

[@sofiaiwanowski5324]

You might be "all over the place" but you are so freaking real. Thank you for sharing! I felt a sense of calm I haven't felt in a while after just sitting through and listening to you talk. ADHD or not a lot of it is so relatable. Following along on your journey is inspiring and a true privilege. Looking forward to your next upload, whenever it may be!

It's crazy how much I can relate to your talk about trying a life rythm. I find it so hard to prioritize things, make an actual plan for the day / week / month - since it's all up to myself, I just don't know where to start! I totally feel you. 🥺 Take your time to build and finish that boat!! ❤️

[@riyanardodavinci]

thank you so much for this chat and for being so open with your subscribers. every single metaphor and explanation of how you've been feeling made perfect sense, and honestly i was very much reminded of the thoughts that i have when i analyze/try to explain my own emotions and mental state. i feel like i'm constantly in a state of introspection and your thoughts here were so comforting and familiar. thanks so much and i wish you the best of luck~ 💛

[@katarinakidd9450]

I only discovered your channel and art in December, so I'm a newbie here, but I've found such a comfort in your videos. I hope you've been able to find some comfort in your downtime (and through your beautiful video game girlfriends) too!

[@kaitlyn5402]

I am not joking when I say this - this is the first video/story/anything that I have related and understood and felt all the emotions you’ve described today. I was diagnosed with ADHD back in January and I’m not joking you’re the first person I’ve 100% match up with in terms of how we process so this was very validating and absolutely so needed. Thank you so so so much.

[@newbie12412]

Thank you for this - and thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us! Being a “tumultuous, all over the place” person myself, it’s good to know that we’re facing kinda the same struggles ❤️ you’re grand yourself! Sending love to you from Austria!

[@leilathecuttlefish]

I relate so strongly to your experiences with mental health. My therapist made a similar suggestion about "maybe you have ADHD". She couldn't properly diagnose me but wanted me to know that might be part of my challenges...and the way you talked about always feeling overwhelmed and having that be adhd related..man that speaks to me. I just wanted to say you're not alone, and I still haven't finished building my boat either. Good luck on the construction of yours! Kudos for making the time now to do it. Also, on a somewhat unrelated note: I love to organize things, and the idea of unpacking boxes and making supplies look nice on shelves just gets me so excited! If you'd want a friend to help stare down those boxes, I live in Seattle and would be happy to help, if only to have a reason to leave my house.

[@vini-y1f]

After a long time I've come back to your channel. I admit it, I stopped watching because I was so jealous of everything you've accomplished! But now I'm in a place where I can say: You're such an inspiration to me, just watching this vlog, what you've been doing and feeling... Your vlogs are so soft and authentic, that's what I love about them. I hope you're doing okay. Move slowly. I'm currently recovering from a biiig depressive episode and it's SO! HARD! So don't beat yourself up. You're doing great.

[@kimberlyersek6993]

I am so happy that you are taking the time to heal and build your metaphorical boat! I can relate to your situation a lot in the sense that I have very severe tendonitis that affect my hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back, and I wasn't taking care of myself because I was an essential worker here in Québec (Canada). This meant that I didn't have time with the craziness of the pandemic to rest and heal my injuries from years prior (I got them when I was in art school) since my job was very manual and repetitive. I felt exactly as you were saying about your mental health: like I was sailing a boat whilst simultaneously building it. I finally decided that enough is enough and quit that toxic work environment to take care of myself. I am very excited to be able to finally make art and play video games again since I wasn't able to because the pain was too high. The first game I'm going to play once my hands hurt less is actually Persona 5 Royal for the first time ever! I know this comment is kind of long, but I thought it was important to let you know that watching your videos has helped me a lot with dealing with the emotional stress of my injuries and that I am glad that you are able to start taking better care of yourself too!! Love you very much 😊💖

[@ceciliaaxeland]

Jag skriver på svenska så du får öva lite (: Det är SÅ genuint och fint det du berättar kring hur du mår, att du vågar öppna upp dig och dela med dig av de känslor, tankar och erfarenheter du har. Man relaterar verkligen mycket till det du pratar om. Du verkar vara så jäkla stark och du ska veta att jag känner igen mig själv så extremt mycket i dig med det interna krig du har med dig själv. Mitt enda tips (från någon som blivit utbränd 2 gånger redan på 26 år...) är att vara snäll och tillåtande mot dig själv, vilket det verkar som att du är mer och mer.

[@emmanergell6029]

Hi Cheyenne! I just want you to know it was so comforting hearing you open up about your ADHD, especially the feeling of just /not/ being able to do something that everyone else seems to be able to figure out (i.e work-life balance, how to not have meltdowns). It is a really common experience amongst the ADHD/autistic community and living for most of your life without being able to identify that those issues are actually ADHD things is (for a lack of a better word) really hard! I know for myself, in order to make sense of why I struggled with things no one else seemed to struggle with, it was only logical to think there must've been something in me that was innately "bad" at these things, and in turn, that I was "bad" at being normal. It made me feel less than everyone else who all those things just seems to *click* for. But it's not true! It's like living in world where most people walk to get from A to B and then being introduced to a person in a wheelchair - like, yeah, they can't walk but they're not bad at getting from A to B. The metaphor might be a little off, but my point here is that we can live sustainably just was well as anyone else, but the path to get there or the "balanced life" in question looks different than for us than for someone without ADHD. And lastly, I am so happy that you posted this video. I am looking forward to the next one, whenever that is. And I hope this diagnosis helps you find ways to make life enjoyable for you, even if it all confusing in the beginning. ❤️

[@memoatelier]

I was missing your videos so much! And I'm really glad you are doing better ❤ What you said in the end happens to me too, it's so hard to sail into the unknown, even though I know it's the best option and my current state is a mess. But I know I'll eventually get there, I just need to be patient with myself. Thank you again for sharing it's really comforting to hear it from someone else as well.

thanks for talking openly about your mental health struggles and stuff. i suspect i have adhd and/or anxiety and i've been too afraid to do anything about it for years and hearing you talk about it has made me feel less afraid about it. i guess to put it in your words, i don't want to stay in a room that's on fire anymore.

Thank you for always sharing the hard things Cheyenne! I've been subscribed for a long time because of your openness about depression and anxiety (I struggle with both), and I have learned a lot about ADHD in the last few months and think I may have it as well. Undiagnosed though, and testing can be hecka expensive. But I've felt so seen and understood in hearing about your experiences! I'm not alone in this, and neither are you :) Please share what it looks like as you build that structure and figure out life rhythms!! It seems like I have been trying and failing for a long time. I'm so glad you're doing better and are making progress!

Cheyenne! I'm so happy you got a diagnosis! When I got diagnosed with ADHD early last year and started learning about it and taking medication for it, it just made SO many problems I've had all my life come into clearer focus. And yeah, it really does shift how you think about stuff. A lot of "basic skills" I thought I had, like scheduling daily tasks, it felt like I had to go to remedial classes for them. Well, still kinda feels that way lol!! 😅 Oh btw, I really love the How to ADHD channel here on KZbin, if you haven't found it yet. Jessica has a real knack for posting exactly the video you need, right when you need it most.

[@ordinaryowls]

Cheyenne, you're not alone!! Your experiences with ADHD and realizing your struggle to function is a result of that totally mirror my own. There are SO MANY of us and it's not talked about or diagnosed nearly enough (esp. as women!!) and find out later in life when things just get Extra Hard because we lose the institutions (like school) that force us to mask our symptoms. Just wanted to say we're all in this journey of discovering new sides of our mental health together and you are doing great xx

[@avakoob]

cheyenne thank you so much for talking about what has been going on with you and your mental health lately.

I hope you are doing well and that you can find your rhythm and reach your goals!!! xox

I love your mental health metaphors. I am a high school counselor and tend to think of mental health diagnoses and struggles clinically and metaphors are great tools for my toolbox. It makes it easier to discuss for students who are more like you! It also helps me to understand my own mental health in a new way. Thank you for your openness!

You go girl! Your amazing and come across very kind and considerate! You can do it!

I know exactly how you feel. That’s honestly the same way I feel about being independent and setting a schedule. If I don’t have structure everything kind of falls apart and I can never catch up with anything or peruse anything new. Glad you’re figuring out your rhythm! It’s hard but trust yourself and keep moving forward ❤️

Thanks for always being so honest. You just made me going to get ADHD diagnostics next week so much less scary. I always conflated my anxiety with my attention issues and it’s so nice to know you’ve gone thru the same thing and you’re thriving. I sound like a kid but you’re so inspiring to me as a sophomore in college haha. Thanks for everything you do ❤️ Take your time and build that functioning sailboat ⛵️

Thank you for sharing so publicly about your struggles with mental health & tasks.. very relatable and comforting even though I feel for you sm! School was easy for me because people were telling me what to do and the expectations were very clear, the “real world” is so much less like that! (thankfully tho!)

HELL YEAH VIDEO!!! I love those snake earrings!! And also schedule and life rhythm feels so hard to me. So good to hear your thoughts!!! Definitely something I need to figure out, especially in relation to my chronic illness!

thank you so much for sharing this with us, sometimes it feels lonely when you see everyone apparently doing so well and you are struggling (as it happens to me sometimes). Take all the time you need, sending you love and light.
