totally feel you on the super low lows every few months, they really do come in waves 🌊 sending u hugs, excited to see you growing even when it doesn’t feel like it 🥺🫂

[@megananderson6886]

I honestly can’t even explain how important and needed this video is. Our society has almost romanticized this feeling or idea of “having everything figured out” when in reality most of us don’t know what we are doing at any given point and that’s totally okay and normal. This societal pressure makes it so confusing when we do have moments of feeling lost and insecure about our life/decisions. I’ve been struggling with those things and being in my own head for about a year now and have always felt alone. This video was a reminder that I’m not alone and it was so great to see someone openly talk about their struggles. I cannot express how much I appreciate you opening up about this! sending you love 💖

[@kenaclaitt832]

I agree with what you said

[@megans8209]

I've been having the worst week, so I definitely feel you on this

[@owenkluchert1964]

So have I! Everyone seems to be feeling the same way, we got thisss 💪🏻💪🏻

[@marisajaydenn5256]

aw i'm so sorry abt that! you got this and i hope everything gets better soon!

[@lilakozlik]

dont you dare be embarrassed to post this you’re a legend. and an icon. your vulnerability is what hundreds of millions of other people feel on a daily basis. we just want real Margot!!! we already love her so much. so there’s no pressure from us. thank you always for being yourself, you are so loved by literally everyone who watches you !!!!! thank you so much for sharing your life

[@erynlundrigan4836]

I read The Power of Now last summer and my biggest take away was that "this too shall pass". Not only did that book teach me the importance of being present, but also that feelings/emotions are temporary. It is okay to have bad days/weeks/months - have trust that this funk too, shall pass!!

[@abigail8277]

everyone in the comments is so well-spoken and sharing so many vulnerable, similar thoughts and feelings they’re currently having, so all I wanna say Margot is that we love you too and we all believe in you so much

[@marisajaydenn5256]

yes! i'm so proud of everyone that's opening up! 💖 these videos are so helpful 💖

[@malamiispretty]

THE POST-GRAD DEPRESSION is THE subject which has to be talked about. I've been having it since my graduation which was over 1,5 years ago. Change between studies and after is so huge, scary and strange that it needs to be addressed. Thank you for bringing it up. I was the first one in my bubble to get through it and it is something that only a person going through can really understand and rely to. I remember my friends telling me stuff which didn't help, were frustrating or just not for me. Everything around became not familiar and standards world put us in front are just crazy but every step we take every single day is a fight and a step forward to build our self-esteem and own sense of living. It takes time, but also patience, but it gets better, believe me :) xx

[@deliatran224]

Yes!!! I just graduated from college and it almost feels...like I'm mourning a part of my life. This new chapter feels so different and so strange and I feel like I'm closing the door on a large part of my life. Sending you a lot of love.

[@Iemkee]

You're shifting and I'm so sorry that it feels overwhelming for you but it's a beautiful thing. Growth is painful but it's such a positive and beautiful thing

[@mayaseyler-wetzel4591]

I needed this , thank you. My mom over heard it and loved how aware you are about your emotions and staying present. Thank u❤️

[@anaiswilson6924]

Being able to hear you, someone that I look up to, open up about your vulnerabilities makes me feel so much more normal that I have those same thoughts and feelings myself. I really appreciate you showing that everything isn't always "perfect" and it takes time to work through funks or rough patches. I just want you to know that I really resonate with everything you said and I admire your work even more after watching this video, it takes a lot of courage to post this, but you did it. You are amazing Margot and you will get through it :) We all will!

[@isabell5160]

When you cried I cried with you. I've been feeling really anxious and sad lately, so thank you for posting this to remind me that everyone feels like this

[@mountainviewvintage386]

Yup, try to take in one day at a time. worrying about tomorrow wont ever change the outcome anyway..stress & worrying only ages us!

[@oliviarose530]

Don’t be embarrassed when you’re being real. Sometimes we don’t like to see just the best moments. These type of videos let us know you go through it like we do too

[@itsmelexie1]

this really came at the perfect time. i was so excited because i was planning to move back to nyc next week but i just suffered a bad injury at my job that requires surgery and i've been so demotivated and in pain not being able to do anything. this video was really comforting during this time so thank you.

[@ayomiadeniyi3560]

I hope you have a good recovery and feel better soon

[@Allylemar]

Something similar happened to me a few years back and it was really tough. You got this mama!

[@elenasophia819]

this past week has been pure hell, i lost my grandpa and have been dealing with the grief process which is something i’ve never gone through before. also i read somewhere mercury in retrograde is causing us to grieve the loss of our past selves? i have no idea but honestly this whole experience just sucks & that’s okay! i learned that feeling pain is okay & being vulnerable is actually a sign of strength! we got this ♥️

[@kenziewhittaker8390]

Margot, thank you so much for being REAL! I’ve been in a horrible funk lately too and feeling lost. This made me not feel alone.

[@loganalu]

This type of vulnerability and authenticity is SO needed on social media. Reminds people they aren’t alone. Hang in there 💖

[@elenaiozzo5110]

I feel you so so much..sending love from Rome. For so many years you've been an inspiration to me and helped w/ friendships, positive mindset, finding beauty in everyday life etc. Keep going and I will too. I'm a year younger than you and in a few years even though we've never meet I'll remember you even for the slightest little influence you've had in my life. Thank you.

[@MindyLeeGiles]

this level of vulnerability is strength and you’re not alone. You’re most certainly making me feel less alone, Love you Margot

[@bri6707]

being vulnerable and letting your guard down for your viewers is so helpful for hundreds of people. we all put so much pressure on ourselves, especially in todays society. no matter how low the lows get, it will ALWAYS get better. im so nervous to graduate college next semester bc I have no idea what im doing but ive learned that taking things one day at a time is a huge help

[@vivianhon8139]

girl ur vulnerability just shows the crazy amount of courage u have and I'm so proud of u for doing this

[@madisonauer1365]

thank you for being so vulnerable and open to showing the realness of what a funk can look like. i just graduated last may from college and no one tells you how overwhelming post grad life can really feel like, especially when it relates to friendships, etc. hat mixed with covid has made this time in my life so difficult, and i haven’t known how to handle the lows. thank you for always sharing your routines and tips but also for being so open and vulnerable to the truth of what a funk can be like in this video. because sometimes, it’s okay to not have it all figured out immediately. sending you love! xx

[@carlykogut9327]

this video was the complete opposite of a failure. The message is so authentic and important for people to see. Social media can display such a false narrative of life I think its important for people to see things aren't going to be perfect 100% of the time

[@caroline372]

dude i can’t even express to you how much i admire you in this video. it’s so confusing for me to hear you say you feel like a failure because i look up to you so much, but i think that’s just an important reminder that we are all SO much harder on ourselves than we should be and that from the outside, we’re all just figuring out life. i admire you even more now for being vulnerable and real and pushing yourself to post something you found embarrassing (even though it’s not!!!) to help other people. thank you🤍

[@thejennxia]

thank you for your open vulnerability xx as uncomfortable as it is, it is a practice in opening up self compassion and that's a beautiful thing to work towards

[@elliesf]

The period of time after leaving university was for me the worst my mental health has ever been. There was no support and no guidance and you felt overwhelmed and lost, as if you were drifting away at sea. I could see everyone in their own little boats doing well and was so lost as to why I was just drowning. It took just under a year to come back from that and to learn more about what I needed and how to take care of my mental health. I think it's so important that there is content like this online for others to see and realize they aren't alone so thank you for sharing and choosing to talk about mental health and the slumps we can find ourselves in. Doesn't matter how fast you move, just be sure to look up, enjoy the world and walk forward. Stay golden :)

[@Jayyyyyyyyyyyy_657]

I’m literally going through the exact same thing and have no actual reason to be feeling this way and today when I woke up is when I accepted that this feeling and time will pass and it’s okay. The worst of it was that I felt so alone but after watching your video I know I’m not alone so thank you thank you. This time will pass, sending lots of love

[@joanaklein6373]

Thank you for this Video, your such an inspiration for me❣️ i can‘t describe why but it‘s really helpful to see that everybody struggels sometimes and everybody has bad weeks (and we are all in this together), but on the other hand you also push yourself out of this Funk and this is really comforting to see. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest with strangers like us and also sharing this bad days. I feel like you’re such an awesome Person, and everbody that can call himself your friend is really lucky.

[@lilydambrosio4565]

this. been in a total funk this month too, so thank you for this video margot. i feel like sometimes you might think you need to provide a solution out of these feelings for us and yourself, but sometimes it’s just as helpful to know that someone we look up too feels the same things that we do. comfort in solidarity. love you

[@risika]

I heard in a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my yt channel. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever. Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up. I’m still figuring out how to be a person again, reintegrate into society but right now I have a solid foundation that I’ve never had before.

[@eveymorris3847]

Thank you so much for this! It's so important that we remember even the most positive and productive people have times when nothing feels right. I think it's something that we all go through and it's unrealistic to pretend we are perfect every day. I have been going through the same thing recently and it's so refreshing to see content like this!

[@Makeupmaniacx3]

the music with the clips of the picnic🖤 so sweet. But also it’s so important how this video went because i normally would’ve definitely seen those clips and thought “wow, she’s living such a beautiful full life in nyc, she has it all figured out.” And while it may have ended up being a great night for you, it’s important to know that while things can look beautiful from the outside, you never know how someone actually feels on the inside. Sending you so much love and you are so not alone Margot. I really appreciate you being honest and vulnerable. Please don’t feel embarrassed. This was a really important video

[@kenziautumn100]

you inspire me. you’re human it’s normal sending love

[@hannahvanyperen6363]

thank you so much for opening up and posting this video. you are so inspirational and it is so refreshing to see that everyone has their bad days, even you. and you are so brave to show it to the world thank you so much♥️

[@linneaturner]

This might be one of my fav videos.. thanks for being so real and I LOVE what you were saying about being more in the present moment and feeling the feelings you need to

[@laceyrimkus2085]

Margot!! You are a light. Being vulnerable is actually terrifying but so freeing. I relate to all of the things you touched on, and I hope you find relief soon, angel. Excited to watch you grow even more :)

[@angelaramos7260]

i got you, margot! its completely understandable and natural to feel down some days... specially when we’re comparing ourselves to other people and their life styles. we’re all different, and got our own time. i also struggle with vulnerability and it’s a process to understand that it’s actually what connects us and makes us humans. i read “daring greatly” by brené brown and it’s all about learning not to feel ashamed about it and show ourselves vulnerable. i strongly recommend it to you. sending love n good energies always xx

[@mollyhennessy6350]

I found so much comfort in this video. Thank you for being so real and raw and you.

[@axnsophie2457]

The last few months have been really exhausting. I get disappointed in myself because I don't follow my to-do lists, I have zero motivation & I'm a perfectionist which makes it even worse. I also feel kinda empty inside and Idk why (but that's a whole other struggle). If you're reading this and you can relate, I hope things will get better soon. :)

[@livpotter3685]

I just recently got out of what felt like the worst funk of my life. It felt like everything was going wrong. But recently, I’ve been getting a lot of good things in return (whether it be a new apartment or an amazing case of strawberries) they feel so rewarding. I promise you will feel rewarded soon. In the meantime, the little things, like sweet strawberries, are small moments of happiness to focus on and be reminded that the little things are important🥰

[@XRoseXRed]

Aw it made me so sad to see you upset but don’t worry girly it’s completely natural to go in a funk from time to time. I struggle with it a lot too and the scary thing is sometimes you get too good at being fine and pushing through things that bother you, so then it all comes out quite abruptly and holds such heavy weight! I just try to remind myself though that as humans it’s normal to go through phases of emotions as we go through phases of life, even short phases like weeks or months and it’s just all part of growth and learning more about yourself which I feel you seem to be pretty good at! You seem to know yourself really well which is so positive so just keep going, at least you can recognise you’re in a funk and try to navigate your way through it, which is really admirable so please don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re doing amazinggggg always🧡💛

[@reinab957]

thank you for posting this. i rarely comment on yt videos but i have been watching you for years. thank you for being so vulnerable and shedding light on those "funks." i get them too and we'll both get through it, no matter how long that may take.

[@greennnlover]

You are definitely not alone. I’m feeling really uninspired and just a mess. But, it’s just a phase and things will get better. It takes time, and it sucks realizing that this funk won’t just go away, that I have to deal with it, but I’m a lot stronger than it. All the love 🤍

[@BaileySuttonMusic]

Feeling a little funk-y over here too. But now feeling a little less alone about it

[@danielaalba9735]

i love this. this was me yesterday and it was my first day at work. big imposter syndrome case and im also super rude to myself. sending so much love. you're amazing

[@kendalanndavids1650]

Ughh, I felt the same this week and it’s only Tuesday. When in doubt cry it out, that usually helps me :)

[@sarahmarie557]

I feel the same as you Margot! I go through periods of being insecure and worried. It really helps me to see you work at your own pace through these issues. XO

[@Coolgirlclare]

i think this video is so necessary and im so glad you posted it because it is so open and raw. the more we see content like this, the more conversations we can have about it, and the more we can see were all going through things.

[@abbiegrier207]

thank you for being so open and REAL! I don't want you to be in a negative headspace, but I honestly think it's something no-one can escape, so do not feel alone in your down moments and confusion bc we have all been there. hope you're feeling better, friend💛

[@ClaudiaFrantz]

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been in a funk too. early twenties are so hard and it really helps to know I’m not alone.

[@mayajohn1200]

yes it's been so frustrating finding myself in this rut again after thinking I was beyond it ... so thank you for this really. makes me feel less alone. love

[@alayna7724]

margot! I’ll never forget meeting you in nyc (last week? what is time) and realizing that you are just as kind and warm in person as you are in your videos. I’m so glad I found your channel in 2017! just know you’ve inspired me so much creatively, personally, and as a woman working in business (which has its ups and downs) always rooting for you all the way from michigan! thank you for being you. xo -alayna

[@ShannonCiricillo]

been feeling in a funk recently too, you're not alone! thank you for posting this & being so vulnerable with us, it'll get better soon :)

[@laurakiesel392]

Glad you posted cause we are all human and it’s nice to see someone we watch and look up to going through normal downs of life as well❤️❤️❤️

[@isabellebautista9707]

love you margot. sometimes it’s better to feel the funk and understand it rather than trying to get out of it. always here, always supportive❤️

[@cycytv3160]

Its not easy being vulnerable and I admire you so much for it , after the rain appears the rainbow , we love and support you Margot 😌🤍💜💙

[@abfolk]

sending so much love! your vulnerability speaks volumes, don't be embarassed!! the stress/overwhelmingness of the endless seeming opportunities we jump through in our early 20s is exhausting in every way. its so helpful for everyone watching and going thru that same thing to see you being so brave and to be reminded we are not alone. keep your chin up girlie; we hear you, we see you, we love you!

[@lillianmeyer49]

I had to put down my cat of 6 years this week, and I’ve been having such a hard time, thank you for this. I hope you feel better soon and get through this stronger than ever

[@lovemarissag]

Thank you for sharing your journal with us. I give everything to mine and I don’t think I would have the courage to share mine with the world. Feel better

[@anikanarain8084]

Feel the same way. Takes guts and I think you're really brave.

[@sarahdevoe4503]

I wanted to comment to let you know that I have been a fan of you for years and I look up to you immensely. For years I watched your videos and thought that you had such a perfect life, and you had the life that I strive towards every day. I found myself clicking less and less on your videos just because I go though these struggles you are describing quite frequently, and when you're in a funk you don't always want to watch someone or put yourself in the position to compare yourself to someone else in a negative way. Thank you for making this type of content, it is such a breath of fresh air. I wish you well and I'm sending you good thoughts. You really did help me.

[@stephaniemetri5950]

This video is so important !! This is real ! Feelings are to feeling and things just take time. I hope you take the time you need ans feel better and know that all your feelings are justified ❤️

[@sammypilkington5456]

I needed this....I always think of the color yellow for when I’m feeling down it kind of helps..hang in there ur strong and powerful🌈💖✨

[@leidyreyes8317]

omg yeah i love the collor yello lol so true

[@anandita54321]

Loved this video. Thank you for being you and being vulnerable

[@KristinasDigitalDiary]

Sending so many hugs 🧡 Thank you for showing us these things and being real with your content 🥺 we appreciate you!

[@babs1800bb]

sending you the absolute most love and support. your feelings are completely valid, love you margot!

[@marinecb83]

Thank you so much for this video, it helps so much, sometimes I compare myself to people online and it just makes feel bad and sad…keep posting videos like this if sometimes you feel like it, and you shouldn’t be embarrassed!!

[@eylulll0607]

This video, YOU helped.This video was felt like watching myself cause I am just like you! I can’t help it, I am rude to myself. I am aware that most of us think that way, that we are rude to ourselves but not many people says that and you did. So thank you queen. This vid. Was like fresh air. We are all go through sh*t and it is ok not to be ok. Again, thank you🤍

[@maddyxo1932]

Margot- I've been watching you for a long time and seeing such a successful young woman in the influencer/youtube community be so open about how it's normal to go through a rough patch is so refreshing. I cannot even explain to you how comforting your vlogs are. I see a lot of myself in you- I struggle with my own things but at the same time I am very high functioning and put a lot of pressure on myself to be perfect. On the outside you appear to be so successful and content with your life, and I think I can speak for all of us in saying THANK YOU for sharing and being vulnerable by showing that it's not always the case, and that it's okay to just not be okay sometimes. sending so much love and I hope you're finding peace ❤️

[@Emily-om6xh]

i'm so here for the vulnerability. i just got broken up with out of the blue from a relationship with someone i really fell for and thought i could trust, and a project that i've been working on for six months and have put a lot of time and energy in and have felt really proud of is now no longer going to happen. plus i am moving to a new state in exactly one month :') i really appreciate you and everyone in the comments being open and vulnerable with their struggles. the most rewarding thing of all of this is noticing my own personal progress and growth through this really really tough time. seems like a lot of us are in the valley right now, but the collective support makes it feel like i have some hands to hold alongside me in the journey out of it

[@sarahmacedo8410]

Margot, I just wanna say you're not alone! I'm not felling my best and I'm felling a failure but I know it happens and as you said we need to take time and listen to yourself. Something that really helps me is to go on a run and ignore all social media apps. Working days make the recovery or the process of getting better really hard because of the pressure :( I went to a long process to accept my vulnerability and embrace it, don't fell bad you're really helping normalize human aspects of us! Thank you for you transparency and I wish us a better week, pls gods hahhaha

[@rebeccabutler7013]

Thank you so much for posting this video! it came at exactly the perfect time for me. It is so validating to see that someone that you look up to goes through the same struggles and worries ("am i doing everything wrong?" etc) that you do! I know this was tough for you to post but I just wanted to say thank you because I didn't even know how much I needed this until I saw it :)

[@violetmoissant3972]

I love you Margot, thank you for sharing this with us. You're vulnerability is inspiring, I hope you've had a better week this week:)

[@PrincessJacklyn333]

Thank you so much for sharing this - it truly made me feel less alone 💗 have been feeling so down and can’t tell you enough how much your openess and honestly is appreciated

[@chicstyling07]

these past 2 weeks have been some of the worst, most anxious and out of control moments i’ve had in a very long time. these comments and you opening up has given me a lot of relief. we will get through this!

[@patricemelville7653]

Sending you love! I really appreciate how you show yourself honoring your feelings and being vulnerable. I think a lot of people go through this and it’s okay!!!

[@erinsteiner3237]

I just graduated with my masters and got a job right out of graduating that I feel extremely incompetent for. It’s all a learning curve and we’re all here with you ❤️

[@peytonmooneyhan]

thank you, Margot. I've recently been struggling to navigate 22 had a rough day at work today. I needed this.

[@saraisabelleb]

Needed this today. So much pressure to do it all, especially after the past year, it feels like we’re playing catchup. Comparing where everyone is at after the past year is so taxing and you feel like you constantly need to outdo yourself. Thank you for being honest and open about how you feel- so many of us feel the same way!! Sending you love and positive energy :)

[@luccamagic]

First of all, thank you for this. I would like to share a couple of things: 'Dumping' in the form of writing (Cameron of The Artist's Way refers to these as Morning Pages), can be wonderfully helpful. When I am aware that I am going down the rabbit hole of thoughts in my head, I name the thought: Suffocation. Anxiety. Comparison., etc. and then, I SEPARATE MYSELF FROM THE THOUGHT--> For example, I think, "I'm suffocating." becomes, "I NOTICE that I am thinking that I am suffocating." As soon as I do that, I am no longer my thought. It is separate from me and I can take a breath and go into my body, being more present. We have more than 70,000 thoughts a day! and that's the job of the brain, to have thoughts. The thing is, many are lies, observations that trigger us and become 'real' somehow. We give them meaning when there is none. Noticing and separating is a good tool for bringing me back. The final thing I wanted to offer is, when I feel blue or anxious or afraid, I have learned (in therapy) to acknowledge and thank the feeling. In this way, it dissipates. Why? Because, feelings have a FUNCTION. They do't pop up out of nowhere. They serve us, protect us, warn us...and, they want to be acknowledged. I have a little conversation like this: Hello fear. I feel you. Thanks for coming today. I understand why you are here. You want to protect me and, I appreciate you. As soon as I embrace the feeling, it begins to fade...after all, it is impermanent, as every single thing in this life is. I have learned that if, on the other hand, I ignore feelings, they persist and persist, needing me to be aware of them. In my humble opinion, you did not fail. Go easy on yourself, or at least try. Again, appreciate your share. Take care.

[@lmfaomariana]

i’ve been in a really bad funk since the beginning of this week and it’s been very difficult to try remain positive. I feel you margot and this community appreciates you talking about your feelings and raising awareness for mental health importance 🤍

[@lovelikelucyyy]

Oh Margot! It hurts my heart seeing you so upset but you should honestly feel so proud of yourself - this is one of the realest videos I've ever seen (another one you posted when you were in lockdown at home over the summer comes to mind too where you were talking about being fine one moment and then crying and talking about how you were struggling with loneliness etc). I have no doubt videos like this will help so many young people going through the same things you are. I'm turning 28 next month and I've been through these exact motions - I wish there had been content like this around when I was in my early 20's, just to show that it's all completely valid and it happens to all of us! Just know that you are so brave and also I promise you this is just a phase, feelings are temporary, and you're still finding yourself and figuring out what you want from life - that's what your 20's are for. It's natural to compare yourself to others but remember to be kind to yourself and you need to just keep doing you and keep doing what makes you happy - and talk to/about yourself as you would your very best friend. Sending lots of love and hugs x

[@reeseellis7143]

to be vulnerable is to be strong, without vulnerability, yes, there is a lot less pain, but there is also a lot less love. you're doing amazing and using your platform for good in the world! try not to be so hard on yourself.

[@chloeethier8694]

if anyone feels they need guidance/advice/direction in their 20s, the Defining Decade by Meg Jay is a phenomenal read

[@laurakiesel392]

All feelings are temporary Margot!!!

[@TheCubes21]

life just is too much too handle, take your time and soon everything will make more sense. totally get what you're feeling and it really is hard to be vulnerable, but just know we appreciated it :)

[@alissalopez8597]

totally get those moments were you think you're doing good (and you are), but you just can't help those lows. just know those lows won't last forever & even the smallest steps toward growth make all the difference, sending you all the positivity and peace this weekend :)

[@hannahwellman4531]

you’re not a failure or failing. being vulnerable and allowing yourself to feel the emotions is normal and what you deserve!!

[@morgandavis1101]

I was in a funk this past week and the one thing that really helped me get out was listening to inspiring and uplifting podcasts!! I recommend The Self Love Fix 💗

[@elenapotter6901]

These are the kind of posts that make me love you more!! I love how open you are about when you’re in a funk because that’s a reality that EVERYONE goes through and seeing this kind of vulnerability is so important (and not at any kind of failure)

[@katrinair2833]

this is hands down one of my favourite videos from you, because of the honesty and transparency.

[@justinekim7801]

It's been a rough few weeks, months for me too so I wholeheartedly felt you in this video Margot. I am the same way in which i am fine/confident/happy for a few weeks and suddenly its like a switch has gone off and i am the polar opposite. I am unhappy, unsure, scared, insecure, doubtful, of everything. I get this cycle every couple of months and it either lasts a few weeks or even a few months. I'm not quite sure why it happens as usually nothing in my life has significantly changed or etc to spark that contrast. Sometimes I feel crazy and force myself to feel better bc i feel off. I feel like im not acting or socializing or thinking the way that i should as when I am when Im positive/happy/etc and start to hate myself during these "down" periods. To be honest, still not sure why this happens but it was comforting to see that there is someone else who goes through the motions too. I wish I had an answer or explanation but in the meantime, I hope you feel better Margot and just wanted to say you are not alone and that its okay to not feel okay too (will have to learn to take my own advice too hahaha). *Here for you as you are for us*

Thank you for your honesty and authenticity.

[@emmaventura4790]

definitely helped more than one person! thank you for being vulnerable - never feel embarrassed to be real. we all watch you bc we relate to you and love you!

[@vivashea1657]

Man... I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. Thank you so much for sharing it. It helps.. me and a lot of other people, I'm sure. I feel so lost at the moment.. I don't know what to do.. It's comforting to know, that there is another person out there who feels a similar way.. Still I am so sorry and I'm convinced we can make it and get out of this weird state of mind and heart.

[@MichelleBolandd]

it is so crazy to me that im not the only one having such a rough week... the waves of highs and lows are so difficult to manage when it feels like everyone in the world has their life together except for you. thank you for posting this and showing me that it isnt just me feeling this way sometimes.

[@abigailgolseth850]

I have never read a more relevant title. Thanks so much for posting this because I have been feeling the same way and haven’t been able to shake it.

Ohmygod I really feel like this. Post grad, figuring out what I want for a year now, freelancing trying to find out and therefore not being able to move to an appartement, and not being able to start my life in the big city etc etc etc. All kind of the same feelings. But GIRL we are not alone, im cheering for you, am so proud of you, you are so succesful already and have been for years, i cant believe YOU feel like this too. Im blowing you a kiss from europe! 🤍 I loveyou !

[@carolineprich4059]

I absolutely love to see someone online being completely vulnerable and authentic. You are so beautiful and I genuinely hope you see that amazing was in yourself. Definitely feeling the post grad depression hard so I am with you girl. I’m so glad you posted this, we’re not alone in our “failure”. None of us know what we’re doing 💖
