how i process big feelings like an ADULT!!!

[@UnJadedJade]

Hi friends!! As someone who used to distract away my feelings with work and productivity, I’m so proud to now show you how I move through big emotions in a mindful way. 🦋 we live in a world that makes it so difficult to make time and space for any emotions we label as “negative”. Society wants us to smile, radiate our joy and motivation and ignore the less productive darkness. BUT I’m continually learning how much wisdom comes from leaning into our shadow selves. I hope this video inspires you to *feel* your feelings, no matter how heavy. I love you all!! Thank you for making me feel held 💐🌷✨

[@joaodotcodes]

Holy snap Jade, these vids are just 👌👌👌. Seriously, this is such a unique corner of the internet (: Sometimes I wonder if there would be a way to make this corner be more present in our day to day lives? Of course you won't upload every single day, heck, you have a life outside KZbin. Think I'd enjoy maybe a Discord server or something where people talk about... life stuff? Ever thought about something like that? I find that meditation and yoga, even if it's just following one of Adriene's vids for 20min or so really helps me just "clean" my mind - I also love this expression I heard once that I find very relatable: "Life can be an extreme sport" because hell, sometimes it does feel like one! And yet, it's so beautiful. 😀

One of the worst things about depression or just feeling very low is that it makes you not want to do all the things that help with depression or feeling very low. Thank you for sharing and the gentle encouragement to look after ourselves ❤️

[@hahanah1463]

The worst thing about hearing people with depression is. They 100% chose to be depressed. Its the easiest thing to come out of yet people love self pity darkness attention seeking depression

[@matildas3177]

​@@hahanah1463please do not conflate depression with a blue mood. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain that you cannot chose to not have. It can be deadly, do not trivialize it!

[@lucky_raito]

so true

[@amyclarexo]

I am a decade older than you and only now experiencing this huge shift in self awareness and big, difficult feelings. My anxiety had always taught me not to listen to my body in order to protect my brain. The undoing is hard, but I’m doing it. Cannot tell you how much your videos make me feel held and validated in this journey. Thank you for sharing yours 🦋

[@meetmechelsea708]

i was told by a therapist recently that i am going through the hard times right now because of my suppressed emotions. and i’ve been feeling guilty for a long time because i thought that my problems aren’t so big to be low. and the last minutes of the video just hit differently. these are the words i needed to hear. thank you so much ❤

[@Bunnnnnnnyyyyyy]

12:32 wow, this was so affirming to hear. As someone with complex ptsd, and multiple diagnosed chornic illnesses, and late discovered neurodivergent - I have spent the best part of a decade working on my healing. It is only now I am 27 and have found the right therapy for me (IFS, meditation/buddism and somatic work) that I am finally feeling proud of myself and at a stage where I genuinely love my life. Every day still requires immense work to stay grounded and most of the time I experience ptsd symptoms in a day, or a full blown episode, but I can see the progress I have made and it is phenomenal. All of this feels wonderful, and I’m so proud of myself, but there is a part of me that is shameful and sad and angry that I cannot use my energy to be “productive” in ways that would develop a career, or at least an income. Hearing you say that you feel true self development and the most important work is working on your true SELF, is just wonderful. I have watched your videos on and off for years because I find them comforting or interesting, but I’ve always looked up to your dedication to work. It’s really beautiful to see you flourish in spite of difficult times, and acknowledge that it is in fact this work that is most important. Thanks Jade, for making this video ☺️

[@UnJadedJade]

Wow, I commend your commitment to self-understanding and healing. Contrary to society's pressures to flourish in more tangible ways (career, monetary accomplishments, recognition), I believe true self development is internal and I think it's incredible that you feel increasingly content with yourself !! 🦋

[@Bunnnnnnnyyyyyy]

@@UnJadedJade Thank you Jade, this is really sweet. I hope you have found some restful relaxation during the long weekend :)

[@InesSilva626]

Thank you for creating this kind of content; it is precisely what you said: 'Internet needs more realness.' I usually work remotely, but I just returned from a workshop week in the office of the company I work for, and I could see this 'rush' lifestyle of the people working there. I'm still not sure if some people like this lifestyle, but to me, this feels wrong, perhaps for them too, but again, in this environment, you are not allowed to say it. I read a book this year that soon became one of my favorites, 'Dopamine Nation'; they have a little section that fits this topic well, 'Honesty promotes intimate human connection,' and I do believe that the world would be a much better place if we were all a bit more vulnerable with each other ✨

[@rachelwalker3017]

I messed up a huge exam this week that likely determines my entire semester, which determines if I will be able to continue work on campus or have financial aid and it has been incredibly difficult to sit with. Particularly because I am already very behind on many milestones due to a sort of stagnant/monitored upbringing that I'm trying to overcome. Very easy to let guilt and an almost envy of others to overcome me, I am so thankful for this video. It made me turn on a meditation for the first-time in many months

[@maneskinnnnn7190]

i really understand why statistics show single childless women are the happiest and healthiest demographic. i feel so much happier and at peace when i depend none of my happiness on anyone else, even in a relationship, if someone else is a source of my happiness, it leads to some suffering and worry that this happiness will be taken away and replaced by suffering. since changing my mindset and not allowing any of my happiness to be dependent on anyone else or anything i feel 100x happier and at peace, this is true happiness. happiness that comes only from within

[@sariahkate1380]

Jade, I empathise with your situation of experiencing big change and can resonate with so much of what you have said in this vlog. In particular, not honouring my feelings. Me not honouring my feelings and instead choosing to distract myself with work or otherwise has resulted in years of uncertainty in my life path, feeling unfulfilled in my study and career, and underlying resentment towards myself. Now that I had started to acknowledge my emotions, however big and scary they can be, I have found peace with myself and it has opened new opportunities and new people to come into my life. I am beginning to connect more with past hobbies I lost to the grind of the corporate world and a renewed desire to learn. I am hoping that soon, little by little, I can discover myself, my purpose and a way of life that fills me with inspiration

[@kiaralaack6344]

I’m going through a lot of self development and having to make some really difficult choices recently and I have to say that your videos have helped me so much. I struggle with really intense anxiety and hearing you speak on your experience and what helps for you makes me feel less alone and has given me new ways to think about mental health and coping. Thank you.

[@shesthunderstormsx]

Im going through a breakup and I woke up desperately crying today so this video really came in the perfect time for me 💔 the healing journey is tough but we’ll make it and we’ll be much stronger and wiser

I've also been experiencing big emotions lately (that I don't particularly love) and I've been struggling to accept them or even feel them... thank you so much for this video and for showing me (and all of us) that it's all okay to take small steps and to care for ourselves ❤ your sense of realness is really empowering Sending you love 🌿🌹🌻

[@UnJadedJade]

Gahh I’m sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing heaviness. Big feelings can be SO overwhelming, especially when we’re not taught how to move through them in a way that serves us. Sending you so so much love and strength to access all the wisdom on the other side 💐🌷🌱🌞✨🦋

Stumbled across this while feeling super shit, and have been feeling off since the year began really. It's so nice to see other people showing their low moments (as odd as that sounds) in a world where we normally only see people's highlights in life. This video made me feel seen and validated in my sadness and reminded me that there's always other people going through shitty things too, and that I will come out the other side. Like you said at the end, you have to feel the depths of the negative emotions to appreciate the happy ones too

Your videos are so meaningful and helpful. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable, you help a lot of people (including me) to normalize the sometimes intense and messy process of moving through our emotions when they hit ❤️

[@rootedreinvention]

One of the big messages for me from untamed was that we are not broken because broken means doesnt work as intended and we are made to listen to the messengers that are our emotions. I still feel broken a lot and trying to find my roots to reinvent myself from who i am is hard but that fact feels so true and i try to remind myself of it often

[@luna4957]

I've been non stop listening to "break the shell" thank you Jade ❤

[@UnJadedJade]

It’s so healing!!! 😭😭😭

[@doryanasjournal]

This video honestly made me cry. We all are dealing with hard situations sometimes, we aren't perfect, the world isn't perfect and it can be overwhelming but it doesn't mean that we cannot overcome those feelings. Your video gave me a huge boost of motivation to keep going🤍

[@BehindThe5]

this video came at such the right time and resonates so much. I ended up journaling a full 2 pages of takeaways - thank you for this 💕 love your sentiment that the real self development is all the inner work rather than productivity. it’s so true. I fell into the same “productively” trap too and am currently on a different emotional healing journey now. it’s scary and uncomfortable but I know so much growth and better wellbeing will come from it. thank you for being so vulnerable with this video. it helps immensely to actually see how people process things, feel their emotions, and take care of themselves at the same time. a nice change from people always showing their “best side” as well. wishing you all the best on your journey 💕

[@carlamaria8740]

Hi Jade! First of all thank you for showing this part of your journey. I turn 20 in a few days and I'm also finding balance in adult life. Five years ago I went though 3 loses, 2 family deaths and one breakup all in 5 months. It was huge. And still I was expected to keep up with my schoolwork and (obviously) say nothing about it cause "big feelings scare others away" as we are not taught how to deal with them or allow space for them to exist. Everyone wanted me to be happy and so I tried. I even went into a relationship 5 months into the breakup. I'm just now, as I grow older, taking care of all the pain that sinked that little girl who needed the world to stop spinning. You're such an inspiration and a huge part of my journey. I follow you since your GCSEs videos and It has been an honour to grow up by your side. I'm in awe! Thank you for being the big sister I never had and a little friend in the vast internet world ❤ PS: Kisses and hugs from Spain 💗

[@tynafelix4949]

You have no idea how is this video helping me right now. Thank you for your kind words. Emotions come nad go. We'll be better some time soon ❤️ not judging these emotions, letting them go

[@adrijaghosh6648]

A video from Jade is enough for making me smile

[@entropy3982]

i recently received a ton of rejections from prestigious unis while people I knew (academic rivals/frenemies lol) ended up landing some brilliant acceptances. i felt, no, i still feel, crushed. spent hours just crying, feeling like a mediocre disappointment, like i'll never achieve my dreams. and i have lots of dreams, but my ambition is only hurting me right now, because i dont have the confidence or faith in myself right now to execute. i'm shaken. i don't know to think myself out of this mind-space, i can't rationalise anymore, because my thoughts keep spiralling. i never thought i'd end up like this and it just really, really sucks. i'm too embarrassed and ashamed to confide in everyone, so i'm just spiralling and spiralling and spiralling. Jade's videos have helped me think differently about setbacks in the past, so here I am again, looking for hope. so thank you so much for these videos you post, Jade, you're an amazing person.

[@oneofthebiggestmlbfans]

Hello gorgeous person, I am sorry to hear you didn't get accepted to these unis, but I am sure things will get better for you! ❤ (btw ranting is ok, it is like expressing your emotions instead of cropping them up, just like Jade said in this video)

[@victoriaherrera6289]

hey lovely person, you're much more stronger and capable than you feel you are right now, that's totally okay you don't feel your best at the moment though! I promise you'll find the resilience to keep going, but it's not just going to come to you, you've got to look for it. A friend once told me: "things will all come together as long as you keep trying! working towards your goals is the only way to achieve them! (even though it SUCKS)". I carry that with me & I hope you can, too. take care lovely stranger.

[@blooms454]

Look honey, things sometimes look better for others and worse for yourself in the moment, but life is a crazy journey. You don't know what's to come in your life (both amazing and hard) and similar to your frenemies (also amazing and hard). I know this is coming from a 26 year old and hindsight is 20/20, but you will get to wherever you want to go if that's where you're meant to go. It will work out and in the meantime you should also work towards cultivating a joyful life worth living because things like this are always going to happen. You got this!!

[@chukwuebukablessing6]

Hey , It's okay to express your feelings. I am in a similar situation where I have gotten rejections from universities. Must say everything you wrote is my current situation. Therefore, I am sending you lots of love.

[@violina8328]

Jade you're such a beautiful soul. In today's day we need more influencers like you who are brave enough to show their vulnerable, real side on the internet. Everything on the internet, following trends and all is so fake and makes and fall into the loop of comparison which is draining. Those are the times we need people like you to show us what is real and what is not. To show that these emotions, being human and plainly existing can be beautiful too. I needed your video today, thank you and please keep making more of these. ❤️

[@bellaboo1611]

Hi Jade! I just wanted to say how grateful I am to be able to watch your videos and learn from you. Your personal growth and healing inspires me so much and I love how connected you are to yourself, your intuition and the world around you. I know I don't know you so it's a little weird to comment on your character, but you seem like such a beautiful soul and I feel like the world would be so much better with more people like you in it. I am 17 at the moment and I'm currently in a period where I have lost the intention of allowing space for my emotions to be felt, and constantly distracting myself from the uncomfortable present. However, this has inspired me to put more effort into encouraging my inner parent to hold my inner child and let her feel safe enough to show up with all the messy and uncomfortable feelings. I can really relate to how you view the world, your personality traits and your journey to becoming your higher self, so it is so comforting to see how you process things and move through life. Anyway, keep being you and thank you so much 😊😊

I just graduated high school and now I am preparing for college entrance exam this is the most i have felt in years I don't see my friends everyday I actually have to figure out my schedule no one prepares it for me and says just follow it I hope college is different. Thanks jade for the constant reminder that emotions are meant to be felt

[@Fatemeh-qo4jy]

I was reading your comment, and I felt like it was mine. A few years back, I've been exactly where you are right now, and I can guarantee that if you're ready to make the next step in your life. It would be much better than you expected. It's all about how you prepare yourself for your future, are you mindful of your current emotions. Are you mindful of your expectations of your future, I've just accepted my college experience as a whole, and I didn't let my expectations shape this valuable experience for me. I just let it happen, and I've enjoyed its every moment, regardless of how they were, be it so-called bad or good, they were precious for me, and I'm grateful for them ❤

[@kimsjourney_]

loved this video!! it's so nice to see this type of content, and I find it really great that you share the thing about not going on social media when you are sad. it's really an act of self-love to stay off it on those moments. I personally like processing emotions through dance , listening to music, walking , breathwork, shaking, or making sound (like with anger e.g.) I really love your vibe, and I admire that you are so yourself 🥰

[@gororok]

[@sandrav5295]

I am so so grateful that I was raised in a way that thought me how to experience my emotions from a young age. And that from that I could help my friends time and time again sit with their emotions and not punch down on themselfes because of them. But I would never have the currage that you have to let the internet in on such vaulnrability. So I just want to thank you for doing that and helping people by it, and you are really brave and strong for charing it. Just thank you

Just loved this sm!

[@sophieweninteressierts6797]

Sitting in it...one of the hardest things in our times, where you can distract yourself in so many convenient ways. I am still in the beginning of this journey and have not had this experience yet, of emotions going away if you allow them to be, which makes it all the harder to take the courage and sit in this endless seeming pit of anxiety. Watching this gave me hope to trust the process, thank you.

We need people that are more vulnerable, you are a great great example of it. I sense that you are suffering from your breakup, i am near an experience like that, for a5th time with the same boy. And it never gets easier as i thought before, every time its something relevant adn hurtful for the moment. Last night i woke up cried, thoght abt things then prayed and call my sleep to me, eventually i fall again in sleep. So watching your video really felt like home, like we all are dealing woth the same stuff sometimes, but to have the power to embrace it on a vlog thats awesome, congrats for being you with us

At the moment i am healing and nourishing myself through an eating disorder, riding waves and urges and big feelings.... and i know that I am here because I did not respect or listen to myself in the past. I did not care for my inner child and let the trauma diffuse in a healthy way. So thank you for sharing this, you have made me feel less alone in my healing journey

[@SofiaNoack]

Dear Jade, I have been following your videos for a while now, probably since 2 years or longer and I think this video has been the realest one you have made so far. Actually probably the realest and most genuine video in the entire internet, and I admire you a lot for that, I think you are an amazing and strong woman who has probably been through a lot. To be honest I can say so much to this video, and how it has helped me in that moment to realise and especially normalise a few things. I think growing up means learning a lot about subjects such as mental health and these smaller things that no one ever teaches you, and I agree that it should be such an important topic in the educational system as health is all that matters. I find it very difficult bringing my feelings across to individuals as I come from a family where feelings are not very important and are seen as something that can be explained or "waved away" by shaming you or giving you the fault for something, basically totally ignoring the way you feel. So obviously that has made me struggle with accepting my feelings, and accepting them as a normal part of life, especially if I tend to deal with them on my own. Actually what I have also learned is that most of the time just giving yourself time to process those emotions, even if it means weeks, will give you the answers that you need because most of the time you haven't acquired a certain type of knowledge yet, that would help you by dealing with that emotion or problem that you think you have. I also really loved your inner child/inner parent way of thinking as it is very easy to copy and is very soothing. Thank you so much, and I wish you all the best!

[@zosiakieliszewska117]

Hi Jade! What helps me with releasing the heaviness off my chest and this sense of anxiety is the wim hof breathing method combined with meditation. doing the wim hof before the meditation makes me go deeper during my meditation and also it physically releases the stress and tension in my body. it’s good that during those days you still do the things that you know serve you and I just wanted to say i’m really proud of you ( i know i would like to heard that that while i’m feeling anxious so i hope it helps). sending you lots of love and thank you for sharing these vulnerable moments here cause it really helps me accept these moments in my daily life ❤️❤️❤️

Oh Jade, I can’t express enough how much I relate to this. I only recently learned in therapy that genuinely feeling my emotions make them… disappear.

I know I have the choice, everyday, to put effort into my mental health and happiness. I send you all the love and energy I can.

Hi Jade! I have been feeling a horribly uncomfortable mix of negative emotions thrown at me this week. It feels like everything is caving in on me and I felt alone because I see my friends and they seem stable so I didn't want to bother them with my problems. I'm glad you posted this video because it makes me feel less alone in my experience. I especially appreciate your honesty when you came back from yoga and a text triggered you. That's how it feels taking care of myself this week 1 step forward 3 steps back. But this video helped me feel less alone thank you ❤

[@tabr9055]

Thank you so much, Jade! I get these days especially when I'm home alone - like right now since my partner is travelling. So I'm tempted to stay on the couch the whole day, order junk food and just think about how unhappy and lazy and unsuccessful I am. But today you made me go outside, to the gym, buy some healthy ingredients to cook with and I already feel so much better!

Today after multiple years of therapy I can still say that I find it hard to make peace with my self. I believe it not by chance that I watched your channel and would love you to be my friend.

I am so tired of being sad, and not being able to express it without being afraid that the ones around me will judge and distance themselves from me, because i am not the optimistic, energetic, extroverted type. This makes me hide it and keep it to myself, making it worse- a vicious cycle. Though there are people who see through and support, who understand… Watching this video made me feeling so much more comfortable and eased the feeling of guilt in me for needing more time to recharge and process. Thank you, Jade, for sharing your story and how you cope with it❤

[@oneofthebiggestmlbfans]

Hi, I hope things will get better for you, as I have the same problem and understand you. ❤

[@Aileen475]

@@oneofthebiggestmlbfans thank you❤️ i hope you will find peace and happiness within yourself, too.

[@mosaic2476]

could you teach the part of you that feels afraid that you can still express your feelings, that if people are judging, then clearly they're not the people for you?

[@jaci960]

I absolutely loved this video, and it feels like it arrived in such a perfect time in my life. I've started meditating daily recently and it has become a crucial tool to process, understand and connect with my emotions better. thank you for your vulnerability and honesty 🤍🤍

[@lacthetomato]

Kindness whoging up as discipline is such a big lesson

[@gee7359]

Jade thank you for being vulnerable. It's difficult opening up to yourself but to open up to millions of people online is much scarier. So thank you for your courage. It feels refreshing to see this online when everyone else seems to be having the best time of their life 24/7. You're teaching me new ways to be there for myself and I think that's one of the most valuable skill sets. You will not feel these feelings as intensely one day but it's only natural for now that you do. ❤

[@camilla3629]

Jade I cannot express how beautiful and necessary this video is, especially to me right now. I often turn to distractions so its refreshing to find encouragement to sit with the hard feelings. So so healing :)

I got a fortune cookie message the other day that said - “Tears are water for the soul”

[@elliestano]

never commented before but i've been watching your videos since i was in high school and always felt so similar to how you processed emotions and saw the world, cut to i'm also 24 now and feeling these EXACT same huge scary feelings and when i tell you its almost been a comfort to know i'm not alone and we are just human, i'm so grateful for this corner of the internet. thank you jade, for always being your authentic true self and please keep these style of videos going - you are helping me grow and change and process with your perspectives so keep going, and thank you 💗

[@udaniirunika1037]

Jade..🥺🥺 wish I could find proper words to express how thankful I’m for sharing this with us. You literally saved me. ❤️ I’ve been going through the exact same experience and I didn’t know how to face it. felt bad after crying. Felt like I’m not supposed to cry like that and I have to be productive. You completely changed the perspective. Than you. Thank you so so much ❤️🥺. Wishing you all the courage in the world.

[@mayadiakova]

You’re amazing, Jade! Always reminding me of the life that is outside of the hustle and that that’s really living not just surviving!

[@sarahpieren7403]

Your so right. I spend my day saying I am good but most of the time its not true. I suffer from extreme anxiety.

[@oneofthebiggestmlbfans]

Hi, things will get better for you, stay positive!❤

[@LNA453]

girlie thank you so much for posting these videos. i find it so beautiful and helpful to see your journey when i feel like im having a similar experience/journey in simply *feeling* my full range of emotions for the first time in my life

[@jueedhar5449]

Hon, I feel you. I'm so glad you're putting in effort to navigate this intensely emotional phase. Even on days when your heart feels heavy, remembering what's important and prioritizing your well-being and sanity is incredibly brave. I'm proud of you for making this choice. Two years ago, I was in a very similar situation, and I felt deeply isolated in that emotion. I started therapy three months before the breakup, during the intense inner turmoil of making an immensely difficult decision. I'm grateful that I did. Now, two years later, I still sometimes think about the ‘what ifs’ and miss them almost every day, but I've never once regretted following my intuition. P.S. This year, I've taken up meditation to quiet the demons that try to ever so slyly attack my sanity, and I hope I can commit to keeping myself happy by making my mind a better place to live in.

[@CrazyLife8754]

I love your videos, Jade. You’re so real and honest and your voice is so beautiful.

[@ffm595]

Jade, I wish I could give you the biggest in-person hug right now, but I guess this message will have to do. I've been watching your content for several years and it's helped me through many different stages of my life. You were the one who convinced me to take a gap year, your uni videos are currently guiding me through my first semester, and I've also just moved house. I've been feeling a lot of the same feelings as you, and hearing your honest perspective is helping me sit with everything and lean into change and adjustments. Thank you for being saw raw and genuine with us, it takes so much courage and you should be very proud. Sending you all the love (from Australia!)

[@ellieim]

Lately i've become aware of my need to heal - I've struggled with self worth issues and feeling like I need to fix things and be perfect due to childhood trauma - I've been trying my hardest to surrender to the universe and love myself

[@udittomar3225]

Jade idk what I would be without you, you are the world, so much thanks for being out here ♥️

[@silvialogan9226]

When you feel anxious or depressed, moving your body about is always good. Jade, you can always go to the parks in London and go for a walk and sit down and meditate. There is St. James Park, Regent Park, and Hyde Park which are big and there is a lot of space to do exercise and meditate by sitting in the bench or grass.

[@NayBeatrice]

Jade, I loved this! I woke up in a lazy mood. I wasn't depressed, but my mood was low and couldn't be bothered to do anything. However, I plucked up the strength to listen to Gospel Christian R&B music early in the morning, write my to-do list, pray to Jesus because it is Easter weekend and the pain he endured on Good Friday, helped me to just process my emotions and then get on with life because Jesus suffered on Good Friday to save us from our sins! Made me realise I need to not take life for granted and be in a low mood. However, I still processed my emotions then disciplined myself to still see the beauty and joy in daily life!! xx Now I have been so productive this morning and it's only 12:24pm right now!! xx

[@hikakorc143]

Your high level of self-awareness 👏🏻 I can definitely tell you have been working so hard in your mental health journey and I am so proud of you, Jade for doing the very best to choose yourself and be there for you despite the resistance sometimes (or oftentimes at least in my journey...!) arises inside of our body. Sitting with big feelings is so hard, indeed! It is so great seeing you pulling several things to cope with big feelings from your tool box and practicing, like journaling, meditation, body movement, and somatic exercises! Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and wisdom you have gotten through your journey 🌸

[@GretaJaime]

thanks for making this

[@patrycja9695]

Hi Jade, I am sending a lot of positive energy towards you in this difficult time. On the New Year’s Eve I lost my cat and it was a very tragic event for me. Since mid of December I was fighting for his life. He was 6 months old and diagnosed with 2 fatal diseases. We fought till the very end, until there was no hope left. Then I had to make the hardest decision of my life of letting him go. First month after this happened was the hardest time of my life. Every waking moment was a nightmare. I wasn’t able to work and got a sick leave from my psychiatrist. Then I realized, for the very first time in my life, that world doesn’t stop to give you space to process your grief. I was expected at work as soon as possible and got punished for the time taken off (truly unbelievable). During this first month though, I gave myself a lot of space to process my emotions. I was crying 24/7 until there were no tears left. Even then I was hurting in every way possible. I decided to take my time and feel every single one of my emotions. I knew there was no other way around this. I believe that thanks to this approach I was able to recover faster. I am not over the experience yet - grief is a long process for me. There are still moments when it all comes back to me. I just allow myself to feel this hurt then. Thanks to that, I recover from these moments faster. It also happens more and more rarely. Take all the time that you need and be kind with yourself. This is a long process but time is the best medicine. For everyone reading this - it gets better, I promise. Also, needles to say, I dumped my old job and got a new one:)

[@heleensanders1939]

I’m so impressed with the openness and honesty of this video. It was exactly what I needed to see today. You have such a clear way of expressing yourself 💖

[@kxmii]

20:27 this is exactly the content I admire. ❤

[@khuslenmunkh-uchral9066]

I'm so glad you do this. I'm sixteen. Your content helped me so much during my IGCSE breakdown before and after it. Whenever I felt this big feeling, sadness, I always felt like it was wrong, unacceptable, and that I was worthless just like that. How come you're here whenever I'm at my lowest?😢

[@aparajitaprabhu]

This video felt really different, unique in the BEST way. The editing style with the RAW moments like you eating a bite of your food after saying you need to feel your body, and the kundalini yoga clips with the REALNESS with which you presented your whole experience... within one day too?? You are fabulous Jade. You are truly: incredible. I loved this video and this style of content. I hope you feel that little bit better/ that little bit more healed every time you feel the big emotions relating to what you are going through. And with the seemingly 'out of the blue' emotions that knock you, your inner child, out... gorl I KNOW and I BELIEVE that you got it in the bag. Take a step back, take care of yourself. Follow your habits and yourself, you know what you are doing. At this point it just feels like I am writing al my 'take home messages' in this comment so... you know you have engrained in me the best healing tips/ steps I could have. 💖😘

[@WinterHamie]

I have always watched your videos here and there as they pop up, but recently I’m loving your content even more. So vulnerable and pure. You are doing amazing❤

[@violette4411]

Hiiii :)) I wanted to add that in our society i also find it quite difficult to express happiness ! Sometimes I look at trees, at the blue sky and I feel so grateful and happy, that I could scream and it's kind of hard, because if I scream of happiness in my flat or outside on the street people will think I'm crazy ! It's the same when I listen to music, I could dance outside for hours because of all the beautiful feelings I have in my chest but I feel ashamed. Or when someone tells me a compliment or something nice it makes me feel happy and it's difficult to express it ! I think or capitalistic society doesn't really like feelings, it could sadness but also happiness. :)

[@nimsilva27]

omg jade - this is crazy timing bc i too am going through a very turbulent time and was honesty feeling much of the same emotions - i agree with everything you said though- about how we have to let our emotions pass and acknowledge their impermanence - i love meditating in the morning too - i do these guided meditations with a forest monk called ajahn brahm - i think you'd really like him - he also gives 'life advice' on spotify through the ajahn brahm podcast - he is honestly like a therapist to me :) i hope life gets lighter soon for you - and in the meantime i wish you all the strength and courage to move through these difficult times

[@lucac7382]

in the past years, i've dealt with a lot of stuff, a lot of trauma. and i fell into really unhealthy coping mechanisms. i'm still not doing great, life is really really hard, but i realized that it's not gonna get better if i hate myself and don't take care of me. so i'm starting to prioritize myself and i'm learning new coping mechanisms (a kinda unique one is building lego sets haha! it helps me a lot) and even tho i know it's gonna be so difficult, at least i love myself a little bit more and i know i am important and valuable and worthy of love. much love from italy!! take care and remember: self-care isn't selfish, self-care is self-preservation :)
