Missed you Aly. Don't listen to anyone's comments do what is right for you, it's your life and your mental health. You need to take care of yourself. Glad you have wonderful support around you. I'm glad your back.

[@oliviak8391]

Was just thinking about ally recently. Used to watch her travel channel more, but she stopped being active on there, so would watch something on this channel occasionally. Really strange the way she’s just disappeared!

[@hezamhumaidan122]

Aly, in 2014 you encouraged me to travel and to get out of the comfort zone, i kept trying until i finally succeeded last year. You have been the first person to motivate me, i still hear your words very loud "Go ! Get the hell out ! MOVE" .... i love you and i hope you overcome all mental health issues, and i hope i see you again in a new vlog. Malik

[@madalenacaldas7666]

Aly you likely won’t see this comment but wanted to check you’re okay. Since your last video was a mental health update video 3 months ago. Hoping you are coping and if not know that you will see the other side of this. We miss you xxx

[@marabanara]

Sending more love, Aly. Never forgot you.

[@lolosrainydays]

Hope you are doing OK. I have a physical disease ( is that a good way to describe it!) And I get really unwell and it can be really bad for months or years at a time. Being unwell is so hard.

[@glouisecoulter5831]

Sending love and hugs hope you start to feel better soon

[@Barbara-nc9iq]

Feel better will pray for you!

[@fozzymup268]

Hope you’re doing well Aly, haven’t heard from you in a while. Sending love and best wishes 💕

[@linseysiu3086]

Sending love and well wishes your way. Trauma therapy is hard. When I did it there were days I got worse but just remember you're bringing up and focusing on the really hard issues and learning a new and healthy ways to cope with those feeling/experiences that you haven't faced head on in years. You're amazing ally and I promise there is a light at the end of that tunnel.

[@Sammy-nn9fy]

I’m late to watching this video but I’m glad to see your face! Your book videos never fail to make me smile. Take your time posting videos, I’ll be rewatching your old ones in the meantime and you do you girl!! ❤

[@gailmacsween188]

Hey Aly, thank you for sharing this and being so open and honest about how you are feeling. It takes a lot of courage to do when you are struggling. Keep your chin up and know you have us all to come back to when you feel ready.

[@mettakindness5999]

Hope you are doing ok Aly. I was looking at some of your videos again which was cool to see.

[@puddinxo17]

Ooh really keen to learn your experience on Sertraline- I’ve recently started it too and I’ve just been super tired really. But coming out the other side of that (2 weeks in) wishing you all the best! Xx

[@tashyb635]

Crafts have really helped my mental health! So happy to see you back, I've followed for a good while and love your videos/channel!

[@sophandchristian5745]

The cat moment was so sweet, what a good kitty! Good luck with your mental health.

[@amywoods646]

Hello! Hello! Missed you! Big hugs! 💖

[@pritamdas9152]

Hello Aly , I don't know how but today suddenly your thought came into my mind. I remember i haven't seen you for long time. And found your new channel I remember in my early college days, you were the person who introduced me life of a nomad. I am happy that I follow you cause there are very few people who have achieved their passion. And after 10 yrs, I can say that i have seen you million times. I am 28 soon going to be 30. Still not figured out business, relationship, home. And here you are traveled the world. My life time dream! You have grown faster than many million of people. I am a proud viewer of you. Get well soon!! I am in same stage... thank you for each and every person.

[@lisalillie3957]

So wonderful to see your face and hear your voice. You'll do what you can, when you can....no one can decide that but you. Just know that you are loved and appreciated and valued. Take good care of you...much love xx

[@LakshK]

I recently found you. When i say recently, i mean yesterday. I found your channel yesterday but instantly liked ur vibe and your work. Your book recs are super good .it hurts to know you are struggling. I can understand what you are going through. I pray for your recovery. I wish you well Aly. All good things are coming your way❤️ take care ❣️

[@yagmur7851]

Miss you, Aly. Thinking of you and hope you're doing well. Wishing you happiness in whatever you choose to do.

[@thetrainhopper8992]

Mental health is always a bit of a crap shoot. I've been struggling and still trying to learn when to take time off. Knowing when you need a break is important. I'm just glad that you make videos when you can, it's always a nice treat to see you post even if it's not on a regular basis. It's like getting a surprise! and I needed that this morning.

[@Matt_-um4ce]

Miss you Ally. Hope you’re doing ok 🥰

[@emo1who]

Iv been really struggling with my mental health too😢. I’m so glad to see you post and can’t wait to see your review for kingdom of the feared ❤

How did I miss this? 😢 sending you some love, dear Aly. 💜

[@WildeGeekRach]

Missed you Ally! I got my copy of Kingdom of the feared last week and I Immediately thought of you and if you would be back. So glad you are ❤️

[@lifeguard2564]

You’ve got this girl. Doing everything right. Fingers crossed things improve for you. And I can’t be the only one who gasped when you said your 9 year anniversary was coming up. Gosh, that’s flown by. 😳😂

[@ryanhutton7370]

Sending you all the love. I hope you will start to see more improvements and you can get back to feeling more like yourself sooner rather than later.

[@AlysOtherLife]

Me too. Thanks babe 🖤

[@andreavillegas2196]

You did what was best for you. This is your journey you share with us and we’re just happy to be along for the ride. Don’t listen to any negativity. I’m so glad to see you’re doing better. Love you 💖

[@cherylkaye]

It's really good to see you. You don't owe us anything, especially not an apology. It is just nice to know how you're doing. I'm glad you're getting help, I know how hard it can be, and I hope the EMRT helps. Sending much love your way. xox

[@mharastarling2730]

So amazing to see you again Aly! 🥹 take great care of yourself. You are amazing, and I still drop by both of your channels to rewatch old videos occasionally. I love that you’re scrap booking! That’s really been helping me with my mental health lately too! Huge love and support to you! 💖

[@lesliebrophy2810]

Oh, Aly. I’m so sorry for your struggles, but I can tell you are a strong girl with a sense of what you need to do, and you’re going in the right direction. It’s so unfair that one person does something horrible to another person then walks away, but the victim is affected for the rest their life. Always in my prayers. You’ll be A-OK soon.

[@Gabbs_0.x]

I've been on Sertraline before and loved it. It helped a lot and helped get me through what I needed to get through until it couldn't help me anymore and I had to change my treatment. I wish you lots of luck on your mental health journey. Absolutely, only you and your doctor know what's best for you. I work as a mental health worker in the US now and I would never presume to know what's best for someone.

[@kittykatkorner09]

I missed you aly. I'm glad you been doing better. I was actually thinking of you. Take much time you need. If there comment don't like always ignore them. It's your channel to do what you want. Don't let other tell you what you can and can't do. I hope you have an amazing day today. Take it one step at a time 💕

[@mettakindness5999]

It’s good to see that you’re doing things the way you want to and finding interesting things to focus on like good books etc. I always find it interesting to re-read books as I keep finding things that I didn’t pick up on during my first read of a book.

[@AlysOtherLife]

Yeah I've been enjoying some rereads actually!

[@TheProjectDiamond]

We don’t care!! We care your okay and doing what makes you happy !!!! Ohh Aly it’s great too see your little face … This is your own Journey !! 😍💎🤟🏻 Doing it your way !! 💟 Love and Light Dude !l

[@_Claire_Louise_]

It's good to see you back, take your time on any videos, mental health sucks and definitely comes first before us. It's good your doctors are really on board with helping you and hopefully things will gradually improve. Cutting and sticking is so therapeutic, I have no idea why we stop doing it when we leave primary school but more adults should definitely give it a try

[@AlysOtherLife]

I know it's so much fun!

[@LaurenAnne6]

Glad to see you again! Also, I love emdr!! I've been doing it off and on for about 8 years. I hope it helps you as much as it helps me! 💜

8 months and no sign of Aly, I hope she is doing ok?

She converted to Islam and became the fifth wife of a Qatari man. Just kidding.

scrapbooking is very therapeutic - I love it too. I think KZbin is one of the hardest things to be doing whilst dealing with mental health things - I totally understand ;-) Sending you lots of love, Charlie xxx

I've missed you but always prioritize your mental health. Glad you're finding things that help you and keep going. Have a great month.

[@AlysOtherLife]

Thanks babe 🖤

[@helenwhitfield4654]

I know I haven't been a subscriber for long but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying it's good to see you! It took 20 years for me to open up to my husband about the trauma I experienced in my late teens/ early 20's. I'd been going along fairly merrily until I hit a certain point 4 years ago where I felt like my lights had been truly and utterly knocked out and I hit rock bottom. Climbing back up though slowly and steadily with big blips but nonetheless... Lovely to see you again and I wish you all the best 😊 xx ( p.s I love your reviews on dirty dark romance you often have me chuckling away! )

[@_sarah-anne_]

It’s really good to see you Aly! Pleased to hear you’ve taken the time you need, mental health is so important. Scrapbooking is so cathartic! When you’re in a better place and if you ever do a trip down south to where the uni is, it would be great to see you again! Looking forward to your kingdom of the feared clog, your enthusiasm of the books got me into them!!!!! Keep reading, keep focusing on you, keep being kind to yourself, take it day by day.

[@AlysOtherLife]

Thank you darling! That would be wonderful!

[@emeraldsroses0524]

I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. I was one of the hopefully 99% that messaged you on one of your other social media platforms.

I have been watching your videos since when you first went to Australia but have never commented. It inspired me to do a working holiday in Australia and New Zealand just before I was too old to do so. I just want to recommend an audio book that you may like. Its called "The Greatest Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. It is a recent release and has helped me allot with my mental health. It is about getting rid of anxiety and negativity and finding happiness. Wish you all the best for the future.
