[@Patti-1962]

Jessica, I am so proud that you are willing to share with us that you are struggling with some depression. AND, that you realize the importance of talking to your doctor about it asap. I have had problems with depression that started after I had my first child as well. He is 31 now, and I have been on medication off and on since then. Depression is an issue (usually with the brain chemistry) that should be treated medically just like diabetes or heart disease, with no shame.

[@amandastone348]

Patti 1962 I completely agree! I love how honest and real she is. My emotions changed after my first child too and I had sever postpartum depression. Also, it must just be in the air because I live one state over in IL and my week was so off last week. Can’t explain it. Just extra withdrawn, tired and low mood. Thanks for another awesome video Jess! ❤️

[@themusicjunkie4life]

Amanda Stone that air is hitting in Arizona too! I also had an off week and had a very stressful time because of it.

[@Patti-1962]

@@themusicjunkie4life I'm so sorry to hear about your week. I have an autoimmune disease that "flares" during stressful times causing terrible pain. I have had the worst flares I've ever had..... so you are not alone. This is such a terrible time for our country/world in that we just keep getting more and more bad news about the numbers of people who are losing the battle against the coronavirus. Have you had trouble sleeping? I am having some serious insomnia these days. Sending warm thoughts your way!❤

[@xokkisses]

Proud of you for seeking/asking for help. Too many people just brush their feelings under a rug (especially parents who think they don’t have the time to deal with it) and it just gets out of control. It’s so important for people to talk about what they’re going through!

[@carriegarrett1340]

I love that you talked about mental health! During these times, it is hard for all of us! I am glad you are normalizing talking about how you feel! Btw I saw your Instagram story and your makeup is so beautiful! I love your videos and can’t wait for the vlog! ❤️💕💄

[@tashafloyd1207]

i’ve def been struggling with anxiety and depression the last few weeks... but one thing that has helped me so much is getting outside and running. and your video about running was what helped me to finally start running. now i have a routine and wake up early every morning and go for a long run/walk. it’s helped my mental health SO much :) so thank you for that video!

[@MoonMagickMayhem]

Just getting out of the house has helped me as well. It's crazy how just a quick run to Target (with a mask on. Let's keep everyone safe) can lift my mood. I need to exercise more but with 2 daughters and a husband who works full time in retail, I don't really have a chance.

Jessica is one of only 3 remaining KZbinrs I sub to who doesn't do the flash zoom-in/out when she's telling a joke/emphasizing a word/pausing for effect. I don't know what KZbinr started this gimmicky quirk, but I'm so appreciative that she hasn't conformed to it.

[@autumnbailey381]

I don't know if this will help you to feel better or not but I have been watching you for literal years. Like, I remember videos from your bedroom in your parents house. You have been such a source of inspiration for me. I have always loved your makeup style because it is so "normal" and exactly the kind of thing I like to do. I've always felt a "Disney" connection with you and now we both have babies! My son is just a little less than a year younger than Gigi and he loves seeing her on your vlogs (especially now with isolation). I say that to say...last week I finally got up the courage to record myself on my instagram stories. No, i'm never going to be a KZbinr I don't have the technical skill set for that. What I am doing is hosting "Travel Tip Tuesday" on my insta stories (I'm a TA) and in large part I was able to do that because of you. Thank you for being here!

I’m so happy you’re being open about your mental health! I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a teenager (currently 25) and I’m due with my first baby in June. With everything going on, I noticed my mental health declining and made a point to talk to my doctor and was prescribed Zoloft which is safe during pregnancy and has helped so much! I plan to stay on it after birth to help combat PPD.

[@brittanyhunter9813]

[@elimtz3665]

Yay for talking about mental health! Earlier this year I felt “under the clouds”, you know that feeling where everything sucks and you can’t see the positive in anything? It’s not my first time, so I did what you did- recognize it, accept it, and made an appointment w my doctor. Anywho, I started counseling and after a few sessions things didn’t suck so hard....sometimes we just need a professional to help us discover new coping mechanisms, to guide us in understanding how we feel, or just having someone to talk to. I wish you the best in your mental health journey and know you aren’t alone. Virtual hugs 🤗

I deal with anxiety and depression and it’s frustrating when there’s no “real reason” -i.e., something you can point at for sure and say “a-ha, this is why I feel like this.” I know for me, I tend to isolate and get stuck in my head and it just spirals from there. Counseling has helped, as has medication, but it took me so long to seek help. Thanks for sharing with us and using your platform to be candid about mental health. You’re one of my favorite youtubers and you being so “real” with us is a big part of that 💕

For anyone here who may be interested, I have a drugstore dupe for the Mac Double Gleam. Milani Strobelight in Afterglow. It's so similar in formula and color. It is so stunning that I would call it my favorite highlight EVER. Like Jessica said about the Mac, every time I see myself wear it in photos or even in person, I can't get over how pretty my skin looks. It's so smooth and a perfect mix of intense, but not glittery or unnatural. I am just not even interested in other highlights because this one is so perfect. The Milani baked one in Dolce Perla is also similar in finish, but a tad pinker, maybe a bit lighter. But it's my second favorite. Thought I would mention it because I own both and the price difference is pretty crazy.

[@krueltyfreekelly]

Ooh that's good to know! I've always been curious about mac double gleam but never bought it because they aren't cruelty free, I'll have to try the milani one! 🙂

I was going to therapy before all of this started but the thought of having a phone appointment with my therapist while in the same house as other people really disappoints me.

[@brookestormcloak8039]

My therapist slaps down any suggestion from me about trying to be productive haha she's like "no! It's a global pandemic! Don't you dare set yourself up to fail!"

[@KB-tb3po]

Dolce Pink is my fave blush ever! It looks kinda baby pink in the pan that can be off-putting to some people; but for me it gives the most natural flushed color. I’m fair/light and cool to neutral toned so maybe that’s why that tone looks more natural than a true peach tone.

[@missdeechan]

Jessica, I totally am in the same boat as you about talking to my doctor only when things get bad even if it's a recurrent problem.

Good on you for talking about mental health issues and the importance of recognizing and doing something about it. I suffer from several and severe physical health issues but have numerous family members who suffer from mental health issues. The biggest being depression. So I think it's so important to have that dialogue out in the open. I know the support groups for my physical health issues that I have on Facebook really help with not feeling so alone in what I'm suffering with. And that support is equally as important with mental health as well. I hope you are able to talk with your doctor and find the right path for you in your journey going forward. 💕

Hopefully this makes you laugh- I had a demo lesson interview on zoom yesterday and I ended it with “I hope you enjoyed what I prepared for you today..” I left the call and I was like OMG IM JESSICA NOW bc that’s your classic line at the end of your videos 😍👏🏻😂 keep your head up!

Jessica, I wish I could give you a hug. Thanks for being open and letting us know you are going to get in touch with your doctor. I am 10 months pp and the ppd was a real journey for me but has gotten much better. I wanted to let you know your videos have helped me so so much. I love your style of make up-it find it relates to what I am in to for make up. Also, I have started running because of you, also started to drink more water! LOL. I think you make the world a better place and set a good example for all of us. Just wanted to let you know that. It is okay to have down weeks, I am so glad you are aware of those weeks and know when to take action. Anyways, sending hugs from WI. Be well-mentally, physically, emotionally (especially during this crazy time)

I LOVE the Clinique Even Better foundation! I tend to forget about it, but when I use it again, I ALWAYS have a great skin day! It's pretty consistent for me.

Love you Jessica! Thanks for sharing. Your videos have really brought brightness to my days as I struggle with my own mental health issues.

I use the Essence glow primer alone all the time, it's so pretty

Perfect timing. For once I don’t have to wait til after work. It’s been a long frustrating day of trying to find a new job (yeah my degree is useless) and everyday has been low for a very long time so at least I have a new Jess video to brighten my day.

I hope u find something soon. Keep your chin up honey. KZbin is a great place to escape & Jessica is perfect for that, totally lifts my mood. Keep at it, u'll find something xx

Don’t know what you majored in but I do want to say your degree is not useless! You learned analytical, communication, and teamwork skills and more I’m sure! Just wishing you the best of luck in your job search, you’ve got this!

Lily Casas I have an English degree because I had a literal nervous breakdown before student teaching so I never completed it and just have an English studies degree with no internships or practical experience

Lol, what timing. I’m currently putting together a small Ulta order and “was” trying to just get some skincare products:)) Thanks, girlie🍃🌸
