WHY I STOPPED UPLOADING

[@Maddyxoxo0]

I clicked as soon as I saw.... We missed you.... Please upload atleast once every 2 months or so... It's not youtube without you... You are really strong elena I would have never been able to go through all that and survive.... Proud of you

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much

[@magicineverydaylife]

I still remember you mentioning 'some' health problems that you didn't want to talk about, so thank you for sharing your story. You've been through so much, and still managed to do so many things, and remained yourself. That journey would have broke many people. You are incredibly strong.

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you💕

[@annieaesthechic]

✨THE QUEEN IS BACK✨

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Haha thank you!

[@PlanningNerd]

Still watching and very impressed at how strong and brave you are. I hope 2025 will be much nicer to you and your body.

[@monicamorales2023]

ELENA!!!!!!!!! So excited to see you here!!

[@ea1299]

YOU ARE EXTREMELY BRAVE FOR SHARING WITH US AND ESPECIALLY FOR HANDLING ALL THAT IMMENSE PAIN AND STILL BE VERY OPTIMISTIC AND DISCIPLINED AS ALWAYS. I MEAN IT WITH MY HEART, I REALLY ADMIRE YOU ELENA!

[@WonderfulHope19]

As a physician, I'd recommend paying attention to your mental health as well, since flares often occur during periods of stress, which can significantly worsen the pain (not to mention concomitant fibromyalgia). I'm glad to hear you're doing better! Autoimmune diseases are not easy to manage. Looking forward to your videos ❤

[@LesleyAdina]

I clicked SO fast! Glad you’re feeling better❤️ Can’t wait for you to start uploading again! Can confirm that KZbin is crazy time consuming🙈 So whichever uploading schedule works for you, we are so here for it!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you🤍

[@elisazips2384]

Thank you for sharing your story... it must have been hell, so glad, you made it through all that. I would love to see more videos of you again ♥

[@maikolosav]

I'm so glad to see a new video from you Elena!! I honestly missed you and I was hoping you were doing well. You've been through so much and yet you managed to write a book amidst all that pain??!!! That's amazing! What is the book about? I hope you have more good days than bad ones in the new year! Stay strong 🥰

[@siaarora2194]

Girl I have to say this I watched your Cambridge vlogs back in IGCSE (9th and 10th grade) and now I'm in first year of my law degree. Tbh I wasn't even thinking about law as a career (at least not consciously), now bang and its First year and tomorrow is my first exam for Jurisprudence! (I am not even sure if I will pass its hella scary) I hope you start uploading more...thanks for your study with me lives I SWEAR TO GOD you saved my grades I also hope your health gets much much better and you are able to achieve all your goals! 🧡🧡🧡

[@annikaa.3854]

Hey Elena, I wanted to reach out to thank you for sharing this story! I got diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrome this year, which comes with symptoms that are similar to your rheumatism and stomach issues. I also had to learn how to deal with it whilst doing a competitive Management masters and working alongside, so for me it is really inspiring to see other young and chronically ill people who still strive to achieve something in their careers. Please continue to upload whenever you feel like it, you really give me hope that we sick people can still thrive in other areas of our lives. All the best to you! xx

[@Tanya-vx4pc]

Yes! Same! The chronic stomach and joint issues with Ehlers-Danlos are debilitating for me at times. I have an early morning job and it gets so tough for me to sleep through the nights sometimes and managing the day becomes harder. It also doesn't help that the issues make me feel like no one will ever love me because of all the issues they'll have to take on for me. But I send you strength and hope we learn to move beyond this diagnosis and become what we wanted to be :)

[@peachesjam]

Hi Elena! So so glad to see you upload ❤❤❤ and would love to read your book! Unfortunately I can't understand German and wanted to check if you plan to release an english translated version? Really looking forward to your content, and may you have a happy and healthy 2025!! 🎉

[@crysp9359]

I am so happy to see you back on KZbin . You are such an aspiration for me .

[@abiavitoria5461]

I hope you get much better soon, Elena. I really like your videos and your perspective on the world. Support from Brazil and hugs!

[@analucardosoa]

omg, girl you’re very strong. hope you feel better from now on. and i feel your comment about the gym, i hate it to my core but it is SO essential to keep our body healthy. best of luck for you

[@maryclark943]

OMG so excited I am following you on ig and I don’t understand anything because you are speaking in German😭

[@valentinavera5904]

Wow, you are very strong Elena. I'm glad you're feeling better. I missed you a lot on KZbin, and since on Instagram, it's only in German, I didn't understand much! Greetings and love from Chile!❤

[@cmv7]

I send you a lot of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️You are an example for everyone. Being sick and working and writing a book shows how strong you are. I wish you all the best for this new year and that all your health problems can finally be solved ❤

[@yuekunliu1735]

After watching this video, Elena I'm just so happy that you are back! I actually started watching your videos back when I was in high school like 4-5 years ago looking back. On the series of IB. I still remembered that the first video I watched was "How to get a 7 in History HL". You became my motivation ever since then, and I actully got a lot of inspirations from you when it comes to university application as well. Years have past, now I'm study at an American University studying Sociology, and wanting to do transfer. I checked up your IG stories and saw you did that surgery, I can resonate with you so much on these pain issues (didn't know you had to take that many medicine). Because personally, I was born with permanent cerebral palsy. I got 3 big surgeries in the 19 years of my life including one when I was about 10 years old ,where that surgery had 8 scars on my legs with 432 stitches. But here I am right now, alone studying at California and pursuing my dreams of becoming better everyday. You are still my motivation and you will always be! Stay strong Elena, welcome back 🥰

[@yoongi_means_gloss]

❤ so glad to see you back! Hope things will continue to get better! It's scary thinking how much nowadays doctors are specialized on single pathologies that they don't know how to deal with everything that goes out of their field and you get passed from one doctor to another until you find your answers... But at the same time to get good at treating certain medical problems you have to spend a lifetime studying just one of them...

[@zk4647]

I still watch your Cambridge vlog so inspiring and your such and inspiration.

[@silvinhabruno]

Hey Elena! It’s so nice to see you back here. I hope you get better soon.UC is not an easy disease and pain killers will always have a bad effect on your stomach. But you’ll get better soon. I missed you vlogs and the cooking lives in your IG. I don’t speak German so it’s difficult for me to follow your content on IG but now and the I screenshot and translate it lol. I wish you a 2025 free of pain and filled with love and success. ❤

[@JahazielLopezM]

I been hoping, you getting better, this is good news! My dad also has an immune disease too and I see how it is. Sometimes good sometimes not. Hope you’re been stable all this year. I follow your instagram I don’t understand it but I like to see it. Great that you can make videos here again too I won’t miss them promise

[@jimmyit]

I am so glad that you uploaded this. Thank you for your honesty and I wish you to feel better asap! Good luck with everything. You are very strong and inspiring ❤️

[@blurMelchi]

I am happy you feel better than you felt a year ago, praying for your fully recovery. Hope you get better, You encouraged me throughout Law School. Get better Lena.

[@meera8888]

Welcome back, Elena,.and I hope you continue to get better.

[@annalena9036]

I am literally crying. I really hope you are finally able to recover now.❤ Can't wait to see more content again from you. I have been re-watching some of your old vlogs every now and then because they always give me so much motivation to crack on with my work.💪

[@taylor.adalyn]

missed your videos so much girl! glad to hear you're feeling better!

[@DCC--vq1ng]

Really missed you. Your videos motivated me from highschool and landed me in UK to do bachelor degree. Hope you get better!

[@gollasso6007]

I had a scoliosis surgery too, I know the struggle you talked about so well, of course im lucky that I have gone through the process without that type of complications, im really happy that you are starting to get better now. One look into the future, I had my surgery 4 years ago, and basic stuff like sitting is sooo much better now. Exercising definetly helps quite a lot. Pain will lessen although it will reappear once in a while and stay for a while but its managable, atleast in my case. Although I think you already considered it, please test different chairs, I sit about 7-8 hours a day bc of my job, and different chairs had a lot of different effects on my back pain, especially muscular one after sitting for long hours. So I can only recommend you to try and test some different chairs aswell as different settings for them, for example, one thats more loose so you could lean back always helped me to relieve some strain from my muscles but thats just preference. I wish you all the best and am happy youre back. Btw I slaughtered the english grammar enough atp, I know this im just to lazy to correct it :D

[@florenciarivero1707]

Welcome back Elena! We miss you so much! You are my academic inspiration

[@LouiseVoiture-x2q]

I am so happy you are back and I wish your health will get better this year since you went through a lot these past years it seems !

[@lea_ch0]

I’ve really missed your videos! I hope your health improves soon. Wishing you all the best in everything you do!

[@musikhamster01]

Willkommen zurück! Bin selbst mehrfach chronisch krank und joa - wenn der Körper nicht will wird das Leben gleich um einiges anders. Aber irgendwie meistern wir das schon! Freue mich schon auf das nächste Video!!

[@mediokritet]

Oh man you have been through the ringer. And you managed to write a book while in it, wow! You were missed here on youtube but health comes first ❤ wish you a new easier chapter in the new year!

[@alexhika]

I will always look forward you content, even if it's a video a year! I am glad things seems brighter, wish you all the best for the next steps ❤

[@Clowd84]

First of all I'm so sorry to hear all of what you've been throught. I'm so impress of your strength and I wish you the best of the recoveries! Those autoinmune dissease seem to be very rought. I follow a dr who has a few of them and sometimes talk about it and looks a real challenge to face. Hope you find the specialist you need to help you manage your health. I'm another one who met you for your studies with me and I'm so happy to see you back! We were missing you! 💖

[@irnawidyanaazizah2849]

Hello, Elena. You are my biggest inspiration for pursuing my master's degree, which is something that I ended up doing now. I'm very grateful for that. I've had similar experience, and I know full well how it's like to have health problems which hinder your daily activities. I felt anxious all the time, worrying if I did something wrong after my surgery. Whenever the pain came, I blamed myself for not exercising properly as part of my rehabilitation. I'm amazed that you can do something like writing a book while being sick, but I guess that's just how you are. You always come back stronger, and I'm delighted to have you back!

[@barbarasgorbati7738]

Welcome back! It's nice to hear from you again.

[@zahrarezaee5885]

I really missed you I hope you’ll gett better soon You are so sweet and powerful ❤

We love and miss you so much. Welcome back! ❤️

So happy you are back! Wish you only the best ❤️

[@paridhijain0708]

Happy to see you are doing better Elena !! Take care as health is always the first priority ✨

[@IraDoshalaeva-c7v]

Oh Elena, I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of this, I can't imagine the frustration, fear and exhaustion you had to go through. You're so incredibly resilient and inspiring, I hope you get much better only ❤️

[@mariasophie167]

Thank you for sharing that. I have tears in my eyes. I'm so happy for you that you have so much support from your boyfriend amd your family.

[@natxanna]

32 minutes ago is crazy! I clicked the moment I saw the notification! So glad to see you come back

[@liennealrim7284]

We missed you! The whole health situations looks like one complete nightmare, but i'm glad you're doing better♥

[@zitabrigitta8930]

I’m so happy you’re feeling a bit better Elena! I’m someone who used to study with you daily during quarantine and I always admired your discipline and persistence, it’s good to see you on KZbin again :) I wish you strength, health and happiness going forward!

[@CarebearO]

happy to see you back! you're lucky to be in Europe, this extensive healthcare would be borderline impossible to access in the US, let alone the costs. good luck with your new job and I look forward to more english content.

[@ila9063]

even in Australia where we have universal healthcare, this sort of timeline for healthcare is impossible. kudos to Germany for having it together when it comes to healthcare

[@zuzanafellerova7255]

I really missed you elena, I am glad to see you here again ❤

[@caro8137]

I got excited when I saw the notification on my phone that you uploaded again. I'm looking forward to your next videos and wish you all the best, especially in terms of your health 😊 PS: your boyfriend sounds like the most wholesome person ever, it's so beautiful to hear that he supports you during all the lows

You are so strong! Please gives us some updates, even if they are short and unedited, we are all rooting for you!

[@justysiakowa]

Looking forward to your videos ❤

[@helenavonnegut]

Wow, your journey has been really tough and look at you just doing your best and not giving up. That is beyond inspiring! Not everyone could handle this and that is totally okay. You can be very proud of yourself, it surely hasn‘t been easy, but you made it.

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much🤍

[@hibaberguellah5342]

I still watch your video bc it gave me a lot of motivation❤... I hope you get better in the future 🙏 and come withe new video 😊

[@tabitacarlsson9632]

Welcome back! I’ve missed your videos! Wow you sure have been through a lot! I hope and wish thing’s turns around for you now. Will your book be translated to English? Even though I learned German in school for 6 years (long time ago) I don’t think I can read it. Anyway it’s good to see you here again! ❤

[@mariakoszalin]

Great to see you back 🎉

[@Elmira44]

Thank God she is back and she speaks English!😍😍😍💛💜🤍✨

[@ВикторГусак-ф5у]

Elena, it's so wonderful to see you coming back after such a long break, I hope you will get well soon

[@jukna83]

Es tut mir so leid, dass sie das durchmachen mussten. Die schmerzen und die Ungewissheit sind unerträglich. Zum Glück haben sie einen starken Partner, der für sie da ist. Das ist so viel wert. Ich hoffe es wird ihnen weiterhin geholfen. Alles gute

[@Carlisle_Volturi]

Hey, ich fand es 2024 schon faszinierend, wie viele Kanäle ihr Comeback gefeiert haben und wenn du ab und an in diesem Jahr auch dazu gehörst, wäre das echt cool Die Diagnose Colitis Ulceriosa hab ich seit 2017 aber das ist echt gut einstellbar mit Medikamenten und ich bin jetzt seit über einem Jahr schubfrei. Hoffentlich ist es bald durch. Wenn du es nicht so stark hast und jung bist, kann es sein, dass die Krankheit auch wieder geht

[@annaariza1575]

You´re a real fighter Elena! Welcome back! I think it is incredible that you still went for that job, must have been incredibly hard, with the situation/pain etc going on. I was wondering: At the job interviews, did you mention your medical situation?

[@sarahmavel]

Riesen Respekt an deinen Freund! Abgesehen davon tut es mir so leid, dass deine ersten Colitis Symptome so extrem waren. Mein Freund wurde 2024 auch mit Colitis Ulcerosa diagnostiziert und deine Symptome haben mich direkt an seine erinnert (auch wenn er sie nicht so stark hat), weswegen ich mich gewundert hat, warum du erst in der Notaufnahme eine Diagnose bekommen hast. Ich hoffe, dass 2025 nur Gutes für dich drin hat und du mit deinen Erkrankungen besser klarkommst und das Leben mehr genießen kannst!

[@pacificgoldenplover]

Yay we missed you❤🎉

[@Kath.S]

Liebe Elena, es tut mir so leid, was du durchgemacht hast und auch immer noch durchmachen musst. Ich wünsche dir von Herzen, dass es für dich wieder bergauf geht! 🫶🏻

[@natxanna]

of course, focus on health first please ❤ but it's not necessary to make long videos if you're not comfortable, you just make some reels and upload them on insta and yt cus we love watching your content 😭💗

[@karolinaa.6183]

I too have ulcerative colitis, so unfortunately I know the incessant abdominal pain. Unfortunately autoimmune diseases like to appear in pairs and sometimes in larger groups. I have, in addition to UC, Hashimoto's, psoriasis, and PCOS (the latter not classified as autoimmune, but likes to occur with them). Doctors also suspect endometriosis. I also have a yet-to-be-diagnosed stomach problem and a sinus problem. I presumed that you have some health problems and that is why there are no new videos. In addition, with autoimmune diseases there is often anxiety and depression. Perhaps the solution would be to slightly re-profile the channel towards topics of dealing with autoimmune diseases? This is an increasingly prevalent problem. In any case, nice to see you. ❤ You helped to motivate me and I was studying together with you during Covid. I wish you to get well soon!

[@gamze2895]

Missed you ❤

[@Mareike86741]

I am glad you feel better did you ever think about taking a few years just for your health like it seems you still have a lot off work while being sick I wish you all the best for this year just saying this because you are still young and this toxic hustle culture it takes some time to realize it doesn’t make anyone happy :)

[@riccky707]

ln 2025 I highly recommend everyone to read Your Life Your Game by Keezano. It beautifully shows how connecting with God and building meaningful relationships can lead to spiritual growth and success in both your personal and professional life.

Hi Elena 😊

[@daianax2810]

Welcome back gurl

[@aDaisysJourney]

It is a bit upsetting to hear someone refer to the inability to walk almost like the worst thing in the world because I had surgeries on my intestines, had complications, and have not walked again since (its been 12 years now). Its sad for me to think that my life might seem pitiful to some people.

[@kristinestocker]

What is the worst for one person may not be the worst for another. Also, what we consider "worst" short term would likely be different long term. This is her story. Don't take it personally. I think you are strong to have managed what you've managed ❤

welcome back, Elena! 🫶 i'm glad you are feeling better and though it saddens me that you had to go through so many medical issues at such a young age, i'm relieved to see that you came out okay and still feeling positive about life. you're a joy to watch and an inspiration! 🩷
