Some of you have noticed that my posting on KZbin has been a bit sporadic/sparse this past month... I figured it was time to talk about it with you all while playing with some new makeup; thanks for listening and spending time with me ♡✧( ु•⌄• )

You did a lot for me when I was suffering from clinical depression, I used to stay in bed and bing watch your videos, your channel was (and still is) my safe spot during the worst days. I don't want to give you any advice on your mental situation I belive you know the best what is best for you. Just remember we are here for you I don't know what we can do for you but just remember you are precious for many people around the world.

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

Such a kind and sweet message! I identify with this 100%

[@thriftthick]

I appreciate you SO MUCH, thank you for your comment and continued support... your username and picture is one that I recognize whenever you post on my videos, so I know you've been watching for quite some time! I'm sorry that you've been through similar mental suffering but so happy you've made it to (I assume) better/brighter times. Sending big hugs your way 🥰

[@unoriginalusername74]

You’re extremely beautiful, Ida :)

[@Marginallist]

@@unoriginalusername74 I was going through a lot today and your reply just brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you so so much.

[@dlo-dlo-7483]

Cassie maybe its time to step away from You Tube and for awhile and heal yourself. Please don't take this the wrong way I enjoy your viedos but I feel like your mental health is a million times more important then makeup. Even if you took a year ot two off people will always be here to watch. You have to fix yourself first!

[@Fyrinspector]

I think this is a truly wise comment which would benefit her all around.

[@TheRealEvvonne]

It’s her job. I suffer too but can’t afford to step away from my JOB.

[@mogardening2006]

You would be surprised how much better you will feel if you start working out consistently. Not working out for weight loss. Just to feel better. It really does help.

[@kathleenpeddell5928]

Although your intentions may have been good it's comments like yours from friends and family that REALLY DONT HELP. (& Especially as she just spoke about having trouble with body dysmorphia.) Exercise can be used as a tool, but only once the cause or root of the mental health problems have been thoroughly addressed. It surprises me how MUCH people dont, or won't understand this about comments like yours about working out & how much that does not work to solve the issue which causes mental health problems. It has been thoroughly explained numerous times that the exercise, or fresh air, or just get up & force yourself comments are not helpful...but comments like whatever I can do to HELP YOU get to your appointments, or counseling, or help u pay financially for meds or therapy, DO HELP. Not only that, but comments like this also tend to take YOU out of the equation, making it up to the patient to completely help themselves which obviously feels unbearable for them to be capable of doing when they are in that dark space.

[@mogardening2006]

Sure, perhaps it’s not helpful advice. I can only speak from my own experience and from family members’ experiences. It has helped tremendously. I’m not a doctor, nurse, medical professional, so feel free to ignore me.

[@NeoReactionary]

It has helped me too, Molly, and I think it can go both ways - focus on the body and the mind also starts to heal.

[@mogardening2006]

I agree! It’s not a cure, but it does really help through the healing process. Especially if it’s done consistently.

[@jelatinosa]

I'm sure you didn't this in any way badly. But I do understand how telling someone who is depressed, and already having a hard time just getting up and doing basic things, to go work out can feel like another burden and failure for that person who is already struggling with self worth.

[@katestewart6274]

I hate that you've been feeling so down, but I so appreciate your transparency when it comes to mental health. I'm a psychiatric nurse that also struggles with mental health. I started to take control over my anxiety and depression this year, but then my sister died. I have let all healthy habits go and have gone to some deep, dark places. I really hope that you're turning a corner and that your days will brighten soon. You deserve to feel happy.

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to try to dig yourself out of those dark thoughts and feelings (which for me took a couple of different meds). I hope things are looking a bit brighter for you ❤️

[@thriftthick]

I am so sorry to hear about your loss Kate, I can't imagine what that feels like and dread the day I lose a close family member of my own. I'm sending you lots of love and light and hope that things start getting better for you as soon as possible 💕

[@melissamiller5972]

I have been a mess myself. I've been depressed because all of my friends from school have houses and are on their lovely vacations and I can barely afford to put gas in the car. I'm 43 and am a cashier at a grocery store. I want to go to school to work on my masters in psychology but I'm afraid to because I went to school before and now have 16k in debt with nothing to show for it because I didn't know it wasn't accredited. I'm currently suffering from lupus and fibromyalgia. So I know how you feel. But I've been working on it. I know I can't just sit back and complain because nothing will change unless I take steps to make the change. Just know we love you and we want you to know you are worth it to find something that makes you happy. Whether it is seeking help or a healthy way of releasing the pain and stress.

[@joycemayo9634]

Out of curiosity, why are you using glowy makeup when you have such oily skin? It will be an automatic fail.

[@gremlinjerky8462]

Cassie, as someone who has severe depression and anxiety, the only person who can truly help is yourself. Don’t rely on the medication. And pretending is something everyone does. So my word of advice - take control of your life. Sounds like a huge mission, it is! But it doesn’t have to be hard. Start small. Put the pen to paper and write out everything by point, that makes you feel unfulfilled in life. Figure out which of those points you can tackle on your own, at this moment. Some ideas- focus on losing weight. This is a big one and it takes a severe hit on anyone with depression. And I know you know this and you already mentioned this yourself. Focus on it. You can do it, I promise you. Next idea, improve your appearance. You often mention that you aren’t happy with your appearance and this is something you can change. Your style of clothing could use some improvement, you could also use a hair cut and colour. I believe blonde short cut (like you had before) would just elevate your whole look instantly. Another idea - take a trip, go on hikes, have a staycation at a local resort or cottage. Revamp your home. Declutter before you move. You will be so happy you did. Get some fresh furniture and decor for your new place. Lastly - TAKE SUPPLEMENTS, vitamin D, C magnesium, omega, iron - deficiency of any of these are what causes mental health issues and symptoms DEFINITELY improve once you start supplementing. I have been watching you for many years… through all your moves and ups and downs and I actually can’t wait for you to make some drastic changes that will awaken your passion for life… it’s possible and ONLY YOU CAN DO IT, FOR YOU.

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

This is a great message, but I do feel that I personally really need medication to regulate my moods in addition to other practices to manage my depression and it’s the same for many others. There’s no shame in takings meds, and if it’s working for you, I say keep doing what works!

[@gremlinjerky8462]

@@Peanut_taco_muffin my comment was directed at Cassie, specifically. I can’t possibly make sure it’s tailored to your experience as well as everyone else in the world who suffers from depression. In fact, NOWHERE in my post did I say there is shame in taking medications or suggest that she doesn’t take them……….You are so right - do what works for you, leave your own post for her to read with your experience, no need to rebuttal a point I never even made.

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

@@gremlinjerky8462 my point was that you don’t know WHO needs medication or even what supplements individual people need, including Cassie.

[@pinkabuki]

watching her stresses me out listening to all the complaining all the time. I come to youtube to relax and unwind and learn something maybe.

[@leafy96]

How about shutting up cause no one needs that negativity 🙃

[@laceydemidiuk1490]

Then perhaps stop watching if you don’t enjoy watching. Simple solution.

[@Katmorrow90]

It has definitely started “pouring” in our household too. The transmission on our car went out and we had to pay a fortune to replace it because we missed the lawsuit that was filed for this issue by another consumer so everyone got theirs fixed for free but we missed the cutoff date. 🙄 😭 we also rescued a kitten that was near dying and paid a ton of money in vet bills that we didn’t have to spend because of the car. It’s just been one thing after another so I feel ya there.

[@KourtneyBrooke]

Yes! Most say that maybelline product is a Charlotte tilbury flawless filter dupe!

[@smbarone2000]

Yes -- depression. It never really completely leaves me either. I just learn ways to cope and move forward. I have a lot of health issues and am getting to know two new providers this year, so lot of tests. I became so overwhelmed I cried in the shower one day for no real reason. You know you. Be kind to yourself and remind yourself you've been through this valley before and better days are just on the horizon. I wish I could hug you! Your nails -- love! And I did see the one nail and said, "I'm so glad she's like me." lol I use nail strips and inevitably one will peel off. I'm glad you are brave and tell the truth.

[@Silver_angel22]

Hi Cassie. I'm hoping you are doing well. I did my makeup for the first time in months today and it helped me feel better. I truly believe makeup is good therapy, same as drawing and painting.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

Omg yes girl! I started a YT channel for oily dehydrated skin where we talk about finance tips for busy women over 30 and it is exactly like therapy to me. I hope to eventually help out people like Cassie does

I’ve been suffering from dermatillomania for as long as I can remember, and your ability to show up authentically - scabs and scars and all - helps me do the same in my own life. Really and truly, you have had a profoundly positive impact on my life. And you’ll never know me! It’s so incredible to me how that happens.

[@Marginallist]

Same here! I found the courage to wear shortsleeves and backless tshirts/dresses after Cassie talked about her dermatillomania. Watching her go through it all and be real about the struggle has a great impact on my life

[@thriftthick]

Wow.... wowowowowow THANK YOU for letting me know this (both you, Lily, and Ida!!).

My youngest son and I also deal with this. I’ve been dealing with allergic contact dermatitis on my eyelids since April and they wouldn’t fully heal because they itched and I’d pick. The depression took hold and hasn’t let go. Thank you for your openness because you are helping to normalize mental health issues. By the way, you are beautiful inside and out, and I love your voice.

[@thecarreraclan7280]

I hope things start getting better for you. You’re definitely not alone. Listening to you talk about how you’ve been feeling really mirrors the way my mind works when I’m down in the dumps and feeling overwhelmed. I’ve learned that tackling one thing at a time that has me feeling down and overwhelmed really helps. I’ve learned that everything does work itself out in one way or another. Take a breather. And you should never feel like you should need to apologize for taking a mental health break. Planned or not. We all need it sometimes. I love the look you did and I’m so glad it made you feel more yourself… and add some normalcy back in for yourself. You’re a beautiful person, inside and out. ❤️

[@kamanama3671]

Two weeks ago at my late age they just told me I was depressed. I was like oh boy I didn’t know that. She goes oh no you are. I was like down. No meds yet just a therapy workbook. I’m glad I found you again. The timing seems right

[@lindsayb1329]

My thoughts are with you. I am 36 and currently going through something very similar. I relate to your saying you can usually get out of it, but this time it is harder for you. I have 2 small kids and my own little business. When you are sad, it's hard to do the things you usually have passion for, depression can quickly suck the life out of you. It can start with something small and then snowball into all these other bad thoughts. I know I am just a stranger, but you are so talented when it comes to make up!! You really do a good job. I honestly really look up to you. You did a video once talking about your thinning hair and you seemed so confident despite it. I recently had a horrible experience with a hair dresser going on and on how thin my hair was and asking personal questions. It took me a month to get over how bad she made me feel. Your video lifted me up and your confidence you showed in yourself and how you carried yourself. Art always helps me lift myself out of sadness. Maybe try painting or creating something. I wish you all the best in this. You're going to make it through to the other side 💕

[@VK-uh5jz]

Very well said. I second this, Cassie. ❤️🙏🤓

[@lindsayb1329]

@@moominmay thank you so much for reaching out to me. I am sorry you also experienced that. You are so right, they make you feel like an alien. I am doing a LOT better. I have been doing things for myself like taking an organic hair skin and nail vitamin along with a multivitamin daily. I am doing these things even though I don't think my hair is as bad as she said. It's been thin my whole life. She was just so brutal and had no idea of my history of miscarriage and surgeries. It was so very invasive. But again I want to thank you for caring. I am doing so much better.

[@kellyspryszak80]

Just wanted to say that you are not alone. Depression and anxiety have been hitting me really hard lately, too. Body dysmorphia is a b****, and I've been struggling really badly with it. Add the extra negative self-talk on top of that and it's just wonderful. I've noticed that a lot of KZbinrs have been mentioning depression a lot lately. Lots of people's uploads have been sporadic. I always wondered if you guys feel pressured to "entertain" your followers, in particular during the pandemic since most people turned to KZbin and their phones more than ever. I really enjoy your videos whenever you upload, but I'm sure your other followers will agree with me when I say it's totally okay to take a break and or share with us when you're feeling down. I love that you are so open and real on your channel. I've had a big honking zit under my eye for like a month now and it finally reached a point where I could pop it... And of course now there's this weird hole underneath and I feel like every time the light hits it in a certain way it looks like a giant crater. I'm sure no other people see it the way I do but I completely understand how you feel when you worry about your skin. You are so, so not alone. Thanks for being you always ❤️ also, I just got to minute 9:45 where you say you don't like your voice or your face. I find your voice so very calming that I often put on videos I've already watched while I'm cleaning up or doing chores or whatever because it's very relaxing!! And of course I think your face is adorable, because it is.

[@silkesto580]

I feel like everyone is going through a weird time. So many people seem annoyed, down or just tired. Myself included. Luckily, I've never suffered from depression and I'm typically a be happy go lucky type of person. But for like 2-3 weeks I been kinda out of it too. It's the weirdest thing. It's exhausting. I feel for everyone who experiences real depression because this mood is already making me feel tired and exhausted of myself

Cassie. I hope you’re feeling better. Can I recommend a technique when you are spinning or maybe others have even better ones? Like the kitties. So scary and the lethargy. You love them so much. Instead of worrying about all the what if’s. Consider writing it down. List of concerns. Then ask yourself does your gut say you need to tend to this. Right this second or tomorrow. Someway writing it down to calm your mind from all of the things all of the time. 💚

Hey Cassie! Love your videos and I hate that your going thru a rough time. I started following u because I also have oily skin. Have u ever tried witch hazel as a toner? That's the best. I rarely have breakout and it helps with the oil so much! Plus I just started using Winky Lux new skincare. I know u might like that also because it has rose petals in the product and that also helps with oily skin. U should do a video on it 2 see if u like it. Praying 4 u 2 get thru this.

[@sallyrose9960]

So sorry to hear of your struggles. I'm a psych NP and can attest there are so many of us going through "it." This helps normalize that mental health is part of our health. There are new(ish) treatments for resistant depression including TMS and ketamine therapy. And of course, there's psychotherapy, which I'm sure you've engaged in. I appreciate that you use your platform to discuss your mental health challenges. It's helpful to your followers, and hopefully for you as well. Take good care... you sure have lots of love here!

[@Surfnyolly]

You can do this. Go to bed same time every night, get up early and on time everyday, start walking, gym, something to get your heart moving, eat well, heal your gut, take vitamin D3 (amazing for skin health and overall well being good), get outside in the sun, stick to it, commit this to yourself!

I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy last week (basically my face decided to go paralyzed on one side) -- I never even knew it was a thing. I know it is sometimes difficult but positive outlook and perspective is everything -- deep breaths and good energy ❤

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alexandram1209]

Wow, the power of perspective…your positivity is truly inspiring. I hope Cassie saw your comment. Sending you more positivity, best of luck to you 🙏

[@angelacox96]

@@alexandram1209 Thank you (and TY to the others!)! This has tested everything in me at times and def isn't easy --- but I have also been reminded of many needed things. Sometimes when overwhelmed, it's best to redirect thoughts to positive, and proclaim greatness (whether current or what is to come) -- if not possible, just "be still" and breath in LIFE. I have lost my smile at the moment, so hearing Cassie sad about her face broke my heart! -- If my smile returns.....no, WHEN.....I will never stop using it again!! ❤

[@maryamz424]

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this 😢 You’re amazing and I love all your videos! Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@marianneharms5836]

Glad to see you back!💜 I’m sorry you are struggling. A little 2 cents about your kitties… I’ve always been pretty holistic about my indoor [completely] kitties. I did not get them regular vaccines throughout their lives. They were adopted so they would have had any initial shots. If….. IF they had at all been outdoor cats, I would for sure have had them have their shots. It’s just my thought process about exclusively indoor cats. *I, however, am fully vaccinated.

[@GabyAmezcua]

It’s been non stop pouring here too. Hope you have a better day tomorrow. Sending you positive energy, love, wealth and prosperity

[@sarahstroud6021]

You got me through a really hard time in my life two years ago! I was going through severe depression and anxiety! Watching you’re videos and starting my Lexapro was life changing! I would watch you’re videos and they would calm me down immediately.

[@kirsbeasley87]

Depression is so hard, but I love how honest you are because so many of us are going the same feelings and can relate. I hope you're feeling better soon- you really do bring a lot of joy to so many people!

[@thriftthick]

thank you Kirsten, I really appreciate your comment 🥰

[@quinnwilson7494]

I don’t know why you don’t like that glow “primer”. I love it as a foundation and I think it looks good on you too. It’s a great natural look.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

Idk. I'm over 30 and just reviewed it on my channel and it emphasized my texture terribly and looked like shimmery lotion. But we're all different 🥰

[@quinnwilson7494]

@@DanielleNicoleMakeup very true! I just think it looked good on her. I’m 42 and I love it as well.

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

@@quinnwilson7494 that's awesome! You look 22! I think most of the dewy geared foundations look great on her as well. Sure some oils peek thru but it's better than heavy cakey foundations

[@quinnwilson7494]

@@DanielleNicoleMakeup thank you! I spend most of my money on skincare and sunscreen and have found that minimal makeup looks the best for me

I deal with depression, too. I have had less anxiety that last few years. It sucks. I’ve had some rough times the past year, but I’m feeling better now. You aren’t alone ❤️

Ugh,the ravages of Depression. You are so not alone lovey.These days its so easy to feel devastated and overwhelmed. In any event,simply adore your personality,your humor,your gorgeous eyes and lovely face ...whats not to love!

I’ve struggled with body dysmorphia for years as well and you are so strong to film yourself, come on here, and upload videos. That’s takes a lot for anyone dealing with it. I hope I can get to that point one day

[@thriftthick]

I'm so sorry you struggle with body dysmorphia as well, it truly can be crippling and is exhausting both mentally and physically. Please remember that you're not alone and that, as hard/impossible as it is to believe much of the time, you're more beautiful and wonderful than whatever awful things your own mind may be telling you at any particular moment in time. I'm sending big hugs your way 💕

[@laineybugger]

I’ve been struggling too friend. I had to say goodbye to my sweet Bengal kitty. He’s been my best buddy for 12+ years so I’m heartbroken and can’t seem to stop crying. This happened less than a week after I had surgery. So the combination of physical pain and emotional pain is just too much.

[@thriftthick]

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through so much at the moment... I dread the say I have to say goodbye to my furbabies. Keep reminding yourself that you're allowed to grieve and that you gave your Bengal baby the best life possible, full of love and nourishment and play and safety. He'll always be with you in your heart 💕

[@laineybugger]

At times it may seem like you're alone but you're not. So many of us here are going thru the same, or worse. I'm glad you posted a video and talked about it. It helps sometimes just to vent and we're here to listen ❤️

[@thriftthick]

thank you... I'm sending big hugs right back at'cha!! 🥰

[@valsis]

Been following you for a good few years and I fully empathize with you and feel sympathy as well. I'm also dealing with the hardships of accepting myself and dealing with severe depression. About your sporadic uploads, all I have to say is, do it at your own pace in a way that does not affect you negatively emotionally. If you have to change the way you film to make yourself feel comfortable, do it! All it matters is you being comfortable doing what you love, even if you do not show up on camera. Turn to live streaming without a camera if you consider that an option too! Think about yourself and your well being. There's nothing wrong in cocooning yourself and wanting to hide under a blanket! We love blankets! Everything in life takes time so does healing! We're here for you, we're not going anywhere!

[@therese9966]

Love ya Cassie! I go through the same thing off and on. You’ll be ok. You got this girl! 🤗💕🥰

I suffer with Depression, this pandemic has made everyone miserable. Lockdowns haven't helped. When im depressed, i isolate myself, and withdraw from people, until my depression lifts.

[@mowganashwey]

It is so good to see your beautiful self and hear your calming voice!

[@sarahschouveller1993]

Earlier today I rewatched your Believe Beauty video and in it, you had just moved into this apartment. It's funny to see you so excited to move into what turned out to be kinda a lemon 🤷🏼‍♀️ hope the new one is way better!

[@julissahernandez8402]

Cassie you are such an imperfect person I’m the best ways. You are so relatable and your openness about mental health have been so refreshing. I have been watching you for a while and don’t comment much but you have kept me company after I gave birth and I had to pump in the middle of the night, when I had postpartum insomnia when I would eat by myself. You have been a constant in my life especially during a pandemic your company has been great I look forward to your life streams. Thank you for being you Cassie.

[@StorageCloset]

Thank you so much for sharing transparently-or as transparently as you feel you can. Every time you share you are helping so many people, myself included. It helps me know I am not alone in my experience.

I’m so sorry you have been feeling the stresses of life more intensely as of late. I completely understand but only from the point of view of my own depression and insecurities. I am not one to comment. Tbh, I’m not sure if I ever have commented on KZbin but I wanted to let you know that you make me feel less alone. I can relate to the things you say and you catch my attention as you apply the cosmetics you have chosen to showcase. In short, thank you for being you.

[@teridoster5840]

Believe me, I feel ya, I've been going thru a lot as well. It feels never ending to me right now. I'm immunocompromised from autoimmune treatment so I'm not able to get vaccinated at this point and I'm still stuck at home which is only serving to make everything worse. Tack on being in constant pain, it's exhausting. Fatigue to the point I can barely manage feed myself, but anxiety sooo high I'm crawling out of my skin from the agitation. I can't even bring myself to get in the shower today. I'm just done with all this. And top it all off with my counselor being on vacation for 3 weeks. Gahhh! 😓 I just want some semblance of 'normalcy' again. I couldn't imagine having to move rn, so sending you all the positive vibes I can muster 💜

I know how u feel I will be 30 and starting seeing a therapist when I was 16 that's when I was first hospitalized for my severe depression and Also diagnosed with bad anxiety and ptsd things will get better I promise.

I'm happy to see a new video from you, Cassie. I'm sorry to hear that you've been depressed. You're not alone. Last week was also my down week. It happens. Have you tried CBD? It's not a cure all as nothing is, but I've found it takes the edge off. Anyways, I hope you feel better and have a better week this week! Hope your kitties are doing better too! 😊♥️

[@MoonMagickMayhem]

I'm sending you as much love and positivity as I can muster, Cassie. I too am going through a lot. I have been unable to find a psychiatrist that accepts my insurance so my PCP took over my meds since my last psych stopped taking my ins. I have been on this medication for anxiety and stress-induced seizures for years now. My PCP decided all of a sudden she wasn't comfortable prescribing it anymore and I don't have enough time to taper properly. And the last time I tried to taper off I had a severe seizure and have very little memory of about 48 hours and was admitted to the mental hospital to get back to "normal". I also had a nasty head wound from the fall. So I'm scared and anxious and I have 3 kids and a husband I don't wanna be away from if I have to be admitted again. And the stress of this is making it hard to taper off the medication that helps me manage it. So if anyone has any positive energy they can muster up, please send it. I would appreciate it. I will get by one way or another but I'm a mess.
