The Little Blue Pot - Melancholy

I have been suffering a lot with melancholy this past week. It feels like an unfounded sadness that is all consuming. I will be talking about what it’s been like this past week to help raise awareness of this side of depression.
Don’t forget to tell me how your week has been!
Thank you for taking the time to watch this - I hope to see you next time.
Please subscribe to my channel for more videos about mental illness and leave any questions or comments you may have in the space below.
Take care and I hope you have a safe, peaceful week.

The Little Blue Pot
Welcome to my KZbin channel where I’m hoping to educate people on the different types of mental disorders to provide an understanding and learn ways to cope. I also vlog about my own experience of living with mental illness, as well as sharing other aspects of my life. I want to raise awareness of mental health problems and mental illness, so I hope my channel helps you and others.
As with all my videos, I'm trying to explain everything as clearly as possible and provide examples from my life to help you understand. I might not get everything right every time, but I wanted to give it a go, and I hope it will be of benefit to you. This Vlog is from my perspective, but I do appreciate that not everyone will have had the same experience as myself - we are all different after all. I have also tried, where applicable, to reference everything correctly, but we are all human and make mistakes - please stick with me.

Hey Gem, guess what. You're a GEM!!!

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Thank you! Take care of you. Hugs x

[@RebeccaNeffati]

Oh Gem I am so sorry to hear and see you are going through a rough time again. I fucking hate mental illness so much. Sorry I have been MIA this past coupe of months but I have been going through a rough time of it myself. Did some much needed rehabilitation to get myself stable and on the right track again. Felt like I was on the path to destruction back in June but now with help I am back in a good place and hoping it lasts. I am sending love and hugs to you. You really are an amazing person and we all care about you so so much. Keep rocking lady! x

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Sorry you have been going through a tough time and I'm proud of you for seeking help. I'm pleased you are back in a better place now. Sending loads of love and hugs and tale cafe of you please. Gem x

Your voice is lovely! Even when you're talking about bad stuff! I just thought you ought to know. I relate to the sadness by the way. I relate to melancholy.

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Hi Ashley thanks for your lovely comment. Sorry you experience melancholy too it can be a lonely place. Sending hugs x

[@littlemisskitch]

Ashley Stubbings I agree. I listen to your vids when I go to bed, Gem. I struggle too with melancholy. I can't let go of things. It's like self sabotage. X

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Hi littlemisskitch sorry you struggle with it too and I agree it can often feel like self sabotage. Thanks for watching my videos. Massive hugs. Gem x

[@matthewhughes3749]

well I am a Christian and just praise God that I am doing so well, to be honest, I am coming of medication slowly and with Gp helping me with this I hardly ever have severe Anxiety so it comes along every now and again but i have such peace i mean the only thing I am struggling with is getting out of bed it's just a bad habit i have formed from all those times of depression you know but apart from that I am doing so well but it is thanks to God. So i have to give me praise for it really and please no negative comments about faith i am not here to argue with anyone this is a testimony

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Hi Matthew, I'm pleased you're doing so well and have found peace. It doesn't matter how it happens, I'm just pleased it's happened to you. Take care. Gem

Hi TLBP, sorry to hear you are still feeling low. Rest assured all your followers and friends like you and value the work you do🙂 Its great to see lots of supportive comments from your followers. I hope you manage to get out for a walk this week. All the Best. Simon

Thanks Simon I will hopefully make it out for some walks this week. Hope you're ok my friend. Take care. Gem x

[@simonajones28]

Hi The Little Blue Pot, at the station waiting to get my train home; needless to say drunk. Listening to the Sugarcubes; delicious demon. Don't worry I have communicated with my wife; she knows I'm on my way home. Thought of you though and wanted to say hi. HI! Hope you managed to get out this week and that's helped contribute to addressing your melancholy. Thinking good thoughts towards you; here's to the will overcoming the constraints of the body. All the Best. Simon.

Hi gem sorry you not feeling good I had bad 3 weeks my suicidal thoughts have not been good my meds I'm on keep me stable but not all the time I feel therapy has come to late for me hope you feel good soon sending you big hugs xx

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Hi Donna that's awful you're feeling suicidal I'm sending so many hugs. It's always hard to get the right mix of meds that work which is very frustrating. Keep on fighting my friend and take care. Gem x

[@tribblemuncher]

Hi Gem. Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. I can totally relate how you feel. I lost a few friends because they didn't want to deal with my depression. I can't blame them however. I made a video of feeling "disconnected" from reality. Do you who if this is the symptom of something?

[@TheLittleBluePot]

Hi Will hope you're ok. There is something called dissociation which is when we disconnect from what's going on around us. I will check out your video my friend. Take care of yourself. Gem x

[@botramduuze7188]

[@TheLittleBluePot]
